kimp and his ass buddies

[monoz]

Do they have some new thing that causes other team to go white, but still able to play on speaknow? I was playing, my score went to -99. when I got a frag, it went to -98. etc... Prolly an exploit of the mod. kimp prolly gave it to his ass buddies splinter and joker.

[Mindf!3ldzX]

The vote-cc option, where you are allowed to join a match by vote seems to have a bug, where you slide in as white. This is a new feature to the latest version, though hasnt been utilized on the majority of the servers. So, the bug never came to my attention. The -99 is the score you had as an observer. -99 + 1 = -98.. You could try resetting your color, or reconnecting. The (blank) is force on players that use name "". It's possible that when failing to initialize your player when joining the game it also fails to pass your name into the playerslot.

I'd suggest that admins not use the vote to allow CC for the moment, or revert back to version 1.80.
I'll try to get out an update this weekend.

Personally, I really dont like allowing players to join mid-game unless there's unbalanced teams due to a ragequit. It's pretty silly to play 4 rounds of a 2 on 2 and have some jackAss join in as team yellow just to fuck around then leave by round 8.

Oddly in QuakeLive CA, there's players coming and going mid match all the time. It's really just a kiddypool of teamplay

Sometimes it tough. Ill never hang around on a server for 15 minutes just to wait for a chance to play. Its tough being married with a full time job, there are times that I would like to get a good couple of hours playing. But I usually have too much going on to be able to sit and quake it up for any lengthy period of time.

Sometimes I wonder if there werent strictly 4 on 4 servers, or servers that you have to download 10mb of mods, that maybe there would be more poeple that played. There have been a few times when the only server with players was one that required about 10 minutes of mod downloads. By the time it was done the next maps started up and guess what, I had to download it! haha.

Anyways, I just miss being able to play ctf with the keys/flags on the id maps at full servers. I would even be happy with some Threewave. I guess those days were probably gone over 10 years ago.

ill ctf

ID1 maps + Keys = Too manly for most supposed "hardcore" CTF'rs.

Clan Ring and its 20minutes ,non-pickup gameplay is atrocious at best. I'll continue to support players like sB,whom I can relate to. Life > Quake in nearly 99% of the circumstances, although we fight tooth and nail for our 1%........

I'm sorry, what?

I'm sorry, what?

heheh ,
Unfortunately being an awful CTFer I usually just glaze over at the mere mention of it , but...

Like the sentiment Mindzy

I think more players would play DM or CTF if one could just connect and play.
DM never had a pickup team mode like CTF did. Where you were put on the losing team or the team with the least amount of players. Once a team reaches 100 points *poof* end of game, next map... (wash rinse repeat)...
Normal teamgames in dm are so dramatically organized many fear even playing.
And FFA gets kinda boring, or is it just dm3?

I prefer CTF though cause of the speed factor, i dont want to walk every where if i can fly.

That is why Hating was so popular. At any time of the day,you could connect,and immediately begin. DM would be fine if it was played in 5-10 minute incriments, then again, you have players who care less for anyone who's current observer waiting to play, they will just ready up and begin without even offering. Games nearly 99% of the time begin with "Team Captains" , which,in of itself incites "circle jerking" where particular players lean torwards picking each other,so you end up with the whole "in-crowd" effect.

These types of players have a limited existance. I've seen it before,i'm sure it will happen again.

so.....What is QuakeLive?
