CM Newbie Initiation Rituals

The thing is, that's a lot more funnier because there are probably 100+ people in the arena who can see the newbie actually press Esc+p. When there's nobody watching, it ain't as much fun frown.gif

A cool feature to CM would be the ability to be a watcher in a internet game and watch as the battles take place. Sort of like those online card games, where you can watch them play, but not see the players hands, have a little chat window and stuff.

You could have online tutorials that way, if the chat window could be opened from the two players to the audience, but not each other. That's really a great idea!

I'd go along with that. You can do it with PBEMs, send the movie file and the lesson to a 3rd party, but it would be nice to sit back and watch two people slug it out on my computer.

I think one of the funniest newbie cheats is in Myth. Selecting a Wight and typing Triple will give you three wights in his place. (Wights blow up anything in the area, and T is the key that makes them do this.)

First off, yes I was drunk. But I remembered to do the spell check thing, which also has a grammar checker wink.gif

The really funny of that particular initation is that you have to hit ESC-p a 2nd time to open your parachute. If the guy thinks it was a power-up cheat and finds himself suddenly without a plane, 99% of the he won't think doing it again will do him any good. So everybody soon sees this in the text buffer:

NewDweeb: hey my plane is gone

NewDweeb: plane crashed (meaning the pilot went SPLAT biggrin.gif )

That would be cool, especially for tournaments. Of course, the spectators would have to be able to heckle the actual players wink.gif.

While playing a TCP/IP game, hit the ~ key and type "Gunny Bunny knows all." This will enable Transformation and Lighting effects.

Hitting ~ and then typing "Gunny Bunny is GOD!" will enable bump mapping.

And if you type "Gunny Bunny is annoying," you get sprite based graphics, and all views except 7 are disabled.

A popular one in the FPS game Counter-Strike:

"Go to console and type "gg money" for extra cash to buy weapons"

(typing gg anywhere in the console immediately crashing your game, go figure)
