Congratulations Jung!
Enjoy! (the sleep deprivation)
@Poesel: ein bißchen früher wenn ich bitten darf

I´ll be there. I hope all relevant timezones aree now on winter time or whaterever you call it where you live
.Junglist, can we congratulate on the production of a new space cadet yet?
-
Just to let you know, I won't come on immediately.
should have read the forum...
found nobody for 15 min at the usual time.
Oh well, had some fun playing Bioshock.
-
CU then in 20 min
-
did the US also change to winter time today?
-
I played outdoors once (near Wr. Neustadt airfield btw). The standard CO2 rifles are very imprecise so don´t waste your ammo on trying to hit somebody >30m away (the paint balls won´t open anyway at that distance unless you they hit a hard surface).
I think the most important fun factor is the people you play against/with. have fun!

The secret to effective ion fire is to hit the same spot over and over again.
The same side is enough, according to Clay.
It turns out that 4 ion thors under ai control are *easily* outperformed by 1 ion thor under human control, if only because the bots do not coordinate their fire.The coordinating is the trick (as we demonstrated this sunday
). My point was more that it´s better to give bots ions than conventional arms than bots are better than humans.re: yesterday´s games. very nice, maybe one should play treachery 3 vs 1 defender since it is really quite easy to defend, though 152&Ithai, you would have been more edffective if you had used your EMP and artillery strikes (hint hint
) -
Not from the sides they can't. I'd correct your statement to say, "since they are the only units that can survive HEAT from the front".
thats what i meant.

I'm a bit less experienced commanding humans, for some reason :-P
(Need more games for that). Typically I get the start set up correctly, but usually you need to make some sort of evolution halfway, and that's where I'm having trouble getting things together. (In recon in force, at some point you stop shooting from the hills, and either advance forward, or strike the base from behind.) Towards the end of the round, we were fighting on the base where we were supposed to be, but we didn't have many forces to fight with there. That was my mistake.
@JBY: I should have stopped bots landing with thor KC-H at all eh? KC* is less useful when you're shooting at a base with one of those close-in-defence towers.
You need trhe thors in the end since they are the only units that can survive HEAT. On a good day any of us experienced players can take out a whole army of apollos in minutes.
if you keep the thors at distance (just give them a move order) it forces the defenders to leave the base. Also even the most experienced bot wrangler has a hard time keeping the bots from pointing their backsides at the enemy, so you stand a good chance of depleting the defender even if many of your rounds get stopped by the ion tower.
I think it's stonewalls(?) tactic to strike from behind with fast vehicles. If you've got some heavies shooting at the front-side, I figure that'd probably end up being the best combination.
I'm not sure about having ion tanks be controlled by the computer, I've never actually seen an ai-controllled ion tank get a kill? Though that might just be me.
Ions controlled by bots work fine, especially in large groups i.e all 4 ion thors. The weakness of the bots is their maneuvering, not their aim. When positioning is essential I sometimes drive to the intended position and lock the brakes. bots can´t unlock breaks
-
heh, I somehow missed that we won after all in house to house.
in recon in force, your main mistake (from my point of view) was that you never cut off my reinforcements with a bacchus. also you let your precious 120mm thors trundle towards my base under bot control, should have let them fire at range. the ion attack was good, but it would have been better to leave that to the bots.

very nice games gentlemen! even had 5 players at one time
DropTeam will never die!

i´ll be on DP at the usual time.

5) disagree. Apple simply makes much better products than it used to. I don´t think there are many consumers that really choose between the 2 systems.
4) true, also XP (after SP2) doesn´t have major stability problems (win 98) or security issues (win2000)
3) disagree, a new windows release always kills last year´s system. try running win95 on a 386
2) a ha
1) IMHO they should have gone 64bit 100% instead of trying to please all customers wth a bewildering variety of OSs and driving software developers nuts by forcing them to write software for 32bit& 64 bit vista and xp

after hooking up the fan I played for about an hour on DP without crashing. the drivers are new.
-

-
OK, DT installed, now back with even more FPS and WIIIIIIIDE screen
cya in 30mins
-
cool, i´ve just finished building a brand new system, and am frantically updating DT.
i´ll post again in 1 hour (our usual time) if the update is finished. shouldn´t be a problem though
-
anybody going to be online today at the usual time?

re: harddrive failures:
google published their experience with HDs a few months ago. The bottom line (IIRC): harddrives fail at the beginning of their lifetime or very late. ambient conditions (heat) and frequency of use are totally irrelevant.
I would use RAID1 with at least 3 drives and backup on an external HD (USB, firewire or external SATA)
forget tapes

just a note to junglist: we greatly enjoyed your country (i'm posting from Victoria on Vancouver Island) , now for a week of USA, i'll be back online in 2 weeks
