Have you made it less of a:


int main()
{
if (turrets==alive)
Bombing= impossible

else
Bombing = ridiculously easy;
}

kind of map?

IMO, even if you haven't, its still a lot better than Poseidon.

Very good, my friend

lol noone bigs up your maps more than you :P

[Mandrad]

Ur probably right class. But fortunately i've eard comments that make it that ur probably wrong too.

@Ribilla
Turrets kill, its their only purpose. Protect your turrets if they're that important? Not saying (told that before) they wont be adjusted, if it gets proved they'll need a fix. Until this moment, the only negative comment, its yours and kuja's hate. Thats not enough to step into changes sry.

[Demuyt]

Thanks a lot for hosting this server, it's great to be able and play tbd with a low ping in europe.

[Xorg]

Awesome server. I'm not so laggy here =)

[Mandrad]

Kicking noobs because they kill you, giving them the 20, and acusing them of having bad ping... You...!!!!!
How can you rage 2 mins after joining??? Man...
- Now, give me back my favourite server will you.



Playing as a guest at work, and having people calling me smurf all the time is boring enough...
Besides.... playin my map... You!!!! Youuuuuu!!!!

Mandrad, i have sent you a PM - Vesu i don't recall removing you from the server any time recently, if i did then i'm sure i had good reason.

[classicallad]

Server currently down, don't know why. Maybe DaM forgot to pay the bill lol.

Seems to have fixed itself

[<[-.V]>]

I really love this server too but I hate it when some admin on a powertrip kicks you for no reason. When I asked why I was kicked "|PewPew|Gudulus" said; "U were just kicked..." and server admin kicked me again (I dont know if it was Gudulus or someone else)... Childish, pathetic, not worthy of being an admin of this server.

Just my 2 cents...

[classicallad]

Dam, where's the server go? =S

Oh, i'll bet you need to download the latest Altitude patch and reset the server =D

Thanks for the heads up - taking a look now

[classicallad]

btw End of Aug ill whip over some sterling via paypal or something to cover it for a few months =D

Edit: May i ask that the ping limit be lowered? As the new influx of steamies hit us, more red pings arrive :S

[Nol]

Hi guys, I usually don't try to cause any problem but I have to report what I call an abusive ban. I think, it's really unfair from Class to have banned Logan for a day just because he tried to kick a guy, known as BetterThanYourMom or AmazonJim who abusively uses a Pew|Pew tag. Like you, I try to help the community to have fun, putting some servers online for every alti players, trying to give a cool clan the tools to get better. But when I note that kind of behaviour (guys trying to get trouble to a clan or unfairly banning ppl), I really feel like I should leave all this. So I would like Class to apologize for that unfair ban and try to understand my deception. And pls don't tell me "it was just a joke", "don't take it seriously" etc. These days, some guys are trying to bring PewPew some troubles and I was convinced other clans could understand and help us. Was I wrong ?

[classicallad]

Hi Nol, you won't be getting any apologies from me that's for sure. Random kicks are a negative value to the cause of fun regardless weather you or others felt he was sporting a tag that wasn't given to him.

The reason my response to you was "i dont have to explain myself so i won't' was just that, and here i am doing just that =/

srs man i have better things to do lol

Arf, I didn't expect any other answer from you. Seriously I hope you pay for that server. If not, the owner should remove your rights to bother players who just try to have fun and sometimes "vote" to kick one guy who transgress the rules.

PewPew doesn't make any problem to anyone. And we just want ppl to leave us in peace.

[classicallad]

Im saying Nol, that wearing a tag is not kickable offence, therefore Logan gets kicked for an unjustified kick vote, for which i thought would be obvious.

Dam is the keeper and owner of this server and i can tell you that we sing from the same songsheet so don't go there.

[Ribilla]

Going to have to agree with class on this.

Which do you think disrupts the game more, a kick vote or someone's (non-offensive) name?

Clan tags -----> Private matter
Vote Kicks -----> Server matter

About servers rules, sorry for my ignorance : Ban a guest for 20 years because he killed you is on Servers rules?

And for you class; apply rules only when yourself needs is also on the rules?

[classicallad]

Forgive me but i hope i have de crypted your italian well enough to be able to reply.

In response to your claim about 20 year w/e, i actually rarely give anything other than 20 year bans, this being that the Hideout's purpose was to try and provide people with a semi-pro pub experience. Somewhere where i and others will point out when play could be improved and somewhere that remains consistent in its atmosphere and flow.

The only kick that i have issued that i regret was wuwu, and yes that kick was unjust and wrong on my part, and as far as im concered - its been cleared up.

I, Dam and Star wish you to continue to play with us, i really can't think what else to say other than if your frustration is coming from somewhere else then i don't see it =S

Remember decrypt is one single word.

Star and Dam use their admin rights really smoothly and that's what make this server such a nice place to play. Complaining about abusive ban and unfair behaviour usually concerns you. Try to learn about it if you can with your so close mind. Atmosphere is really better when you're offline So if you can help... And I will stop here because I don't want to corrupt this thread. Dam doesn't deserve it.

[classicallad]

First off Nol i dont think bringing a grammatical error to the table gives you much credibility, clutching to straws?

Also im chuckling to myself as im writing this because many others disagree with your atmosphere claims.

If you would like to take this convo further please shoot either me, star or dam a PM and we'll waste more of our time in your little grudge game.

[mlopes]

I may be a little late on this discussion, and although I wasn't there for that specific situation, and seeing that Nol is trying to push things to the clan side, I'll enter the discussion.

Yesterday, I was on Hideout, it had like 4 PewPew members playing. The team I was on sucked real hard, full of bomb campers who don't play but just keep circling the bomb, and then drop it as soon as they see someone from the other team, tying to get some kills. After a few minutes of that, I complained, once. Immediately some guy from PewPew, called a vote kick, and with the support of his clan mates, I got kicked for 2 minutes, and then had to wait for about another 10 minutes to get a free slot and be able to come back to the game.
Then, instead of trying to play, they were just chatting about some imaginary changes on the whales that this last update (the one from August 4) was supposed to have introduced, and that they were clearly noticing.

I like hideout a lot. Although I always liked TBD and used to play it a lot, I've been playing almost exclusively ball for the last year and a half, because of the lack of good TBD servers with nice pings for euro players. The Hideout brought an end to that, and just for that I already like it, but I surely wish it had a better crowd playing there, and those PewPew guys are definitely not helping.

So this unjustified vote kicks by PewPew members, is imo causing a bad playing environment on the hideout and I for once thing the server admins were right to ban him.

[classicallad]

Tags are irrelavent but i hear what your saying, i wasn't around for said incident. I think i'll ask Dam if we can add a couple more admins who spend time in the Hideout to make games run smoother and weed out the rubbish.

True that, but once in a while a group of people seem to follow a certain padron. Their behaviour immediately reminded me of R and RIBZ, two short-lived clans who had members that got (in)famous for group quitting ladder games and trolling on pubs.
