R Unlimited CZ

Maybe we should have an callvote to spec someone on a team. RCZ has automatic idle player removal, currently set at 5 minutes. Players who fall foul of this end up spectating. Unvanquished takes this further. You can call a vote to put a player on spectators. The player cannot join a team for the r...

They can spit and damage structures. Dretches can't. A sneaky granger plus an inattentive human team can result in key structures being lost. 1DC>lame-ass granger spit. And it ain't so rare to tk or kick battlegranger. One granger consistently hitting and damaging a building > any number of DCs. Bu...

Nice.

All are disabled after Sudden Death, since after SD is the intermission. Anyway… on the assumption that you mean during SD, grangers still have uses. They can spit and damage structures. Dretches can't. A sneaky granger plus an inattentive human team can result in key structures being lost.

Anti-feed – sounds interesting…

DC limits – could do a fall-off so that adding more DCs doesn't have a linear effect. Something like m DCs have full effect, and beyond that, the nth DC adds 4/(1+n) HP per unit time.

I'd have the team info displayed in the HUD. But a command is also useful, particularly if done using the menu system.

Loose? Lose.

Not sure about making acid building faster. Spam is still spam, and delays caused by retspam and acid spam… people fast-build anyway. Maybe the solution to that is for the build timer not to be cleared.

Granger dance… hmm. Point construction kit at reactor, shout “Come on!â€￾?

Scaring could be interesting. Used well, it'll somewhat diminish the advantage of grenades – but expect counter-measures.

Also, I think that you should tell the Unvanquished devs

Val – the ig-* maps? Yes, they're not exactly suited to this server…

Er… BrAiNs?

You should have copied ~/.tremulous from your old computer.

That's not Great A'Tuin…

Imperial or US gallons?

[…] Sometimes it's a matter of 1. skill and/or 2. confidence; players attack more as they improve. 1. You (not you particularly Spl@, in general) don't need skill to move your ass away from turrets in chainsuit or lucisuit. Only problem there is that most of us don't have donkeys. :D 2. Its a COM...

1.Buildspam is acceptable; 2. However, by way of example, using a wallhack as a spectator while watching a suspected aimbotter is something which I consider acceptable. 1. No it isn't. Learn to build. Acceptable, according to server rules. Even good builders spam sometimes; they just spam more care...

Offspring of the zolk3ri (why isn't he?)ban topic: I was trying to kick the fucked up kid for hacking, but ofc vote failed. As some dude said to me yesterday: "Its ubp server, nobody cares" Well to be honest, its the brutal truth. I offer the above quote as evidence to the contrary. This is the rea...

I see one vote-kick by Vriess today, but the name doesn't match. Looks to me like action can't be taken here.

Deconning bad building then replacing with something better is fine. I wouldn't remove too much before rebuilding, though. I agree with Gunther about calling denybuild votes; also, communication about what you're doing and why is usually good… but, grmg, try not to rant too much :) As for being ba...

Omitting a few with which I have no argument

Bring on the advanced marauders and goons! Zap and snipe away!

(I don't call such clustering “zap farmsâ€￾ for nothing…)

7. Random noobs bleeding with rifle and then saying "hi". Want to be noticed? GO DIE YOURSELF. (I swear to god anyone who does that again is going to get tk till i get bored).

I wouldn't advise that – certainly not as a first reaction. Warning message first…

8. Random ret spam. Not rows. Not lines. Not squares. Not triangles. Just random ret in random place next to random ret in random place. Since i decided to ease on buildnoobynoobs i will first ask to stop. Then ill vote ckit away. If that fails - ill decon EVERY ret u place. EVERY ONE. You'll get pissed. Everyone does.

Again, say what and why. Don't be surprised if much of this isn't tolerated.

9. Stupid noob called a vote: change map to xmas2007. Press f1 for yes, press f2 for no and finally press f3 to go and die yourself.

Map-change vote spam does get a bit tiresome…

11. If you are on h team and i'm on h team and you camp and there is no reson to camp and i see you camp all time - i will freaking call u a noob. Probably you'll get a "random" lucicharge in your nose to take away your credits if you don't stop.

Some camping is useful. If somebody's always camping but is usefully defending base, don't even think about doing any of that :p

Actually, think twice anyway.

13. ad 12. How very hard is chasing a goon with 50 hp? Freaking coward n00b.

Chasing it is fine if you can keep it in sight…

14. Sitting on a ret and spamming entire clips of pulse halfway from ramp in atcs. Or any other map. I will ask you to stop bleeding. ONCE. Go figure what yellow coloured thing is going to kill u if u don't obey. Noobey noob.

As with so many others: circumstances. I'll do that kind of thing myself sometimes (not the bleeding, though, if I can avoid it). Doesn't matter if it's helping the team.

Still, nice to have a proper rant posted here

One ban happened to cover kreta#. This should now be fixed.
