We're not all from the US, Aittam; I prefer The Americas or The Colonies, thanks. I guess The New World is acceptable too. oh yeah... I can live with "On the other side of the pond" as well. Not that it is really that serious...seriously.

So that's why there have been so few victims tonight. I was starting to get worried that nobody wanted to play tanks with me anymore. Seriously though, now rather than the whole server crashing when I get the "server not responding" message, I get this strange 8-9 second stutter while the message is flashing, and then play resumes. This resulted in me getting smoked by bots in a serious lag of time on a couple of occasions.

Well Nexus, my friend, you seem to have beaten me to punch. I had the same request.

Cheers to Hub! Jeers to the player who wrote the nasty email - what were you thinking? Beers to everyone else! Non-alcoholic if ya happen to be a minor, of course. On the other hand, miners are free to do as they please.

Playing last night on delta and couldn't help but notice Water team only had one bot active. When I just connected now there were no bots active on the attacking side, making for a bit of a one-sided fight. I don't know if the water bots are on strike or what, but if that's the case could you guys just give them a new contract and send them back to work.

Now that is what I call some fine driving! I guess I'm not the only one who likes to ramp their shrike into orbit for kicks. Good fun.

I've tried to join this server a few times but I keep getting the message about not having the scenario file. I have downloaded the pedestrian zone file and am able to play it in standalone so I'm a little confused. Any ideas as to what the problem is?

The tac map changes are very exciting. The longer I've been playing the more time I seem to spend wrangling bots; this should help a lot in this regard. At times trying to get the bots to work according to a plan can feel like your the tour manager for the Sex Pistols. Maybe now it will be more like conducting a well tuned orchestra....just a little bit maybe?

It sure would be nice to play DT with all the graphics options turned up/on. I guess a new souped PC is in order Clay. Where do I leave my mailing address and when should I be expecting my new computer?

Nice.

I can't believe anyone still listens to this guy. + Bacchus sounds cool, if that's what this thread is still about.

I guess you can't hear the tone in your voice when you're using team speak; then you might know what I mean.

Having 2 months off in the summer definitely has its perks. One being that I can catch the European time-zoners early in the day and (hopefully tonight?) my fellow colonials later on. The only problem with this is most of my good shooting is used up early in the day; later on my tank crew is often too inebriated to hit the side of a barn. Oh, yeah..I do think there has been a more consistent effort on behalf of the regulars to work in teams. When just 2 players are on the server I prefer to work together, with the ultimate goal of both becoming better team players in the long run. In a sense I guess I'm just talking about more coordinated target practice - target practice is all bots can be used for in the end! Except Field Marshal Horus of course.

Well things were fun earlier this evening, but have kind of petered out. I sometimes think there are more people writing on the forum than actually playing the game on any given night. I'm up for any ideas that will enhance team play and get more people to commit to playing on set nights. Anyway, back to reality.

That was fun. I guess that is the end of Round One - Thursday night in Europe that is. Now it's time for Round Two -Thursday night in North America...but not exclusive to North Americans of course. Be there or be, well...uhm, not there.

I'm down for tonight, with or without the man with the idea (sorry cool breeze - hope things go well with your date!). It seems we have lotsa people (myself included) who are open to the idea of being a grunt, but does anyone want the added pressure of command? To the commander goes the eternal glory/shame - are YOU ready for the challenge? I know Horus is, but maybe it would be cool with a human commander for a change. That's right, I take my orders from Horus!

Squidy, accurate or not, I love your attitude, and would be proud to be on the same team. I gotta say I enjoyed your rebuttals in that *other* heated thread we've all been reading. Peace out.

Yeah, I forgot to mention it usually happens when I take control of a bot.

We (the people who actually like the game) will be fine with out all the negative energy. Peace, Love, Unity, and DESTRUCTION!

I just jumped on to say I'm up for mass battle Thursday night...I guess we wait. Does anyone else want to suggest time?

The game is fun, pure and simple. Oh yeah, being nice is fun too, pure and simple.

Wow, maybe I should have checked for typos in previous message!

I've noticed that often, usually at least once or twice a game, that my tank will fire HE or HEAT when the indicator clearly indicates AP. Sometimes the round will come off the HE/HEAT count, sometimes it doesn't come off at all; this all happens despite the fact indicator remains on AP the whole time. I can correct the problem by switching ammo the types back and forth, properly firing AP rounds after a critical delay in game. I never encountered anything like this before last update. If it helps, I play on a Apple G4 1.42GHz PPC.

I just tried to play this scenario, but I got a message saying the mod was incomplete because it was missing SmacMask.jpg, or something of the sort. Looked cool though

....and who is the SockPuppet?
