14:27.07[dmp]jbot: what is gender longhair?
14:27.10jbotI think you lost me on that one, [dmp]
14:27.19[dmp]jbot: what is gender?
14:27.21jbot[dmp]: what are you talking about?
14:30.20longhairgender is whether your are male or female
14:30.39longhairfor example, SportChick's gender is female
14:30.57longhair~gender [dmp]
14:30.59jbot[dmp] is cowboyneal
14:31.10longhairhave no clue what the cowboyneal bit is....
14:31.13SportChicklonghair, that's what you get for trying to cheat
14:31.19SportChick~cowboyneal
14:31.20jboti guess cowboyneal is a fool's fool.

14:32.28[dmp]Old "team name" :)
14:32.32SportChick~SportyGal
14:32.34jbotI heard that SportyGal is a serious, work-version of SportChick, often times busy, afk and completely unlike the SportChick we all know
14:32.44SportChick~SC-phone
14:32.46jbotSC-phone is a light version of SportChick, with reduced abilities and without multiprocessing or multi-tasking
14:32.57SportChickrofl
14:33.05longhairhehe
14:33.14bryjen"gender *"  is itself a factoid.  so you can't set a specific "gender foo"
14:33.22longhairah
14:33.36bryjenjbot: literal cmd: gender (.*?)
14:33.38jbot"cmd: gender (.*?)" is "($1): $1 is (male|female|cowboyneal|hermaphroditic|neuter)"
14:33.51bryjenit'll pick one of those at random
14:34.01[dmp]In the "old days" i used it - i was teaching tanks to fly.. but that was in the good when-i-was-better-at-bzflag days :)
14:34.39SportChick[dmp]: ahhh
14:44.52Nidhoggrthanks for the email chickie.  I'll work on help stuff.
14:47.36SportChickNidhoggr: no problem
14:48.02SportChickNidhoggr: if you go back a few months, i sent an email around with the text of the help messages.  It's a bit out of date.  I can try and find something more recent if you're interested
14:48.19Nidhoggrnod
14:48.31SportChickNidhoggr: is that a yes? :p
14:49.12Nidhoggrif you find more stuff, I'll add it all together and select the best of the lot.

19:34.53SportChickstarts around 12:16
19:34.53wizartwow. thanks
19:36.41wizartinteresting.
19:38.04SportChickyes, agreed
19:38.34wizartthe idea of loosing 1 point/incactive day must be improved though. Otherwise we will lose to many points from the system and it's less fun if things don't go forward.
19:39.26wizartThe shorter games is a good idea I think.
19:40.09wizartMaybe make the 15 minutes games only count half of a 30 min game.
19:40.09SportChickwizart: I think the concerns he raised, and that a lot of others have mentioned as well are (1) inactive teams - it would encourage teams to be more active to maintain points, and (2) position camping - some teams have, in the past, gained a certain position and then played the minimum number of games necessary to stay active, but not so many as to lose their position
19:40.45SportChick(which is only 1 game every 3 months, I think)
19:41.01wizartTrue. Maybe it would work out of the box.
19:41.35SportChickcorrection - 45 days
19:41.47SportChickbut that's still a long time
19:42.06SportChickother teams were, until recently, playing as many as 3-4 games per DAY
19:42.06wizartWe go over that time constantly.
19:42.10SportChickyes
19:42.23wizartBut we are already 700 days in the league.
19:42.28SportChickanother thing I've heard as a suggestion is to reset scores once per year
19:42.39SportChickbut I dont' think many people like htat idea
19:42.41wizartI don't like that one
19:43.01wizartThere can be tournaments for that purpose
19:43.04tokimiactually, many other games do that, bi yearly or such team reset
19:43.07SportChickright
19:43.33tokimi(excuse my butting in)
19:43.54wizartBut keep in mind that the whole idea of the elo score is based on the idea that two people can play a game vs each other and the risk is about the same for both.
19:44.27wizartIf the zees would be down at about 1200 pts noone would like to play vs them
19:44.54wizartloosing points yes but we have to be very carefull
19:45.24wizartThe lost points should roughly be equal to how rusty an inactive team gets.

19:46.58jbotGood to see you, sussi!
19:47.07SportChick~welcome wizart
19:47.09jbotGood to see you, wizart!
19:49.38sussiits easy: i vote for a fresh start
19:50.07wizartI like the 30 minute matches
19:50.26wizartBecause 30 minutes are long enough for anyone to make a mistake
19:50.49sussiyep, i would like to see a surrender option
19:51.05wizartand, in 30minutes it's possible to let the weaker team catch a flag without them noticing it was on purpose.
19:51.10sussicause a 13-1 hurts to much, even blow up some teams
19:51.42wizartOn the other hand. 15 minutes are over quick so you don't have to mind much beating someone to 0.
19:52.16wizartsussi, yes. for teams of different strength 15 minutes are pürobably better.
19:52.21sussisurrender- give the weaker team to end the match earlier than 30 minutes, but accept to lost it
19:52.39SportChickI think one of the reasons for 15 though, isn't just the uneven teams - sometimes people don't have 30 minutes to devote to a match
19:52.55sussino fix time , say at least 15 minutes , than the weaker can surrender
19:53.05wizartyes. I've had a lot of matches where we were tight on time.
19:53.39sussigood teams are able to turn the match 5 minutes before the end
19:54.00SportChicksussi: take a peak at the pillbox topic that was posted yesterday:  http://pillbox.bzleague.com//index.php?link=bzforums&forumid=1&threadid=49&top=0&
19:54.04sussiso vote for the surrender option
19:54.06wizartsussi, yes that's the reason why I like 30 minute matches. Endurance is becoming a factor.
19:54.26Mr_Molezi like the tournament idea :D
19:54.28wizartAnd if things go ok you can capture about 1 flag per 100 sec.
19:54.38SportChickI don't think people want to abolish the 30 minute matches - they just want to have 15 minutes as an alternate option
19:54.43sussiehj gilly
19:54.56wizartI know we lost a few games in the last 5 minutes even so we had a 4-0 lead
19:54.57sussii dont think so
19:55.44sussilet it stay as 30 minutes, but with the option to say we lost it: not before 15 minutes
19:56.00wizartWhat do you think about that: Allow 15 minute matches but only give 25pts to them instead of 50
19:56.20SportChickit would be much harder to track that way, wizart
19:56.32sussimatches having its own dynamis, it would be destroyed by 15 minutes
19:56.35wizartWe just need an opütion when we enter the match
19:56.46SportChickthe scoring on the website would have to be rewritten
19:57.01sussieven the website has to rewrite!!
19:57.17wizartPeople who are skilled in addapting to the others style would be badly hurt by 15 minute matches.
19:57.21Mr_Molezhaving longer matches doesn't help the league in anyway so i see no reason to have different points for lower time matches
19:57.32SportChickwizart: then they just won't agree to a 15 minute match
19:57.47SportChickit would be an option, not a requirement
19:58.04sussii dont see the need for 15 minuts
19:58.13Mr_Molezsussi: for people that dont have much time
19:58.33sussiif u dont have time , dont start to play
19:58.33Mr_Molezsussi: i played a pillbox 15 min match earlier. I would not have been able to play if we were forced to do 30 mins cuz my teamy did not have that much time
19:58.57Mr_Molezsussi: people do want to play and the leagues should be flexible enough to allow them to
19:59.34wizartBut about the score
19:59.45sussirepeat: it would be a very nice option for the noob team : to say im done, im lost, so i surrender
20:00.04wizarta 30 min match is much harder to win vs a stronger team. It must give more points for the weaker team.
20:00.34sussiwhat about score if u serrender, its connected to wiz's question
20:00.42sussi*surrender
20:00.47Mr_Molezsurrender is not allowed is it ?
20:00.56SportChickyou guys are talking about two completely different issues
20:01.05sussipresently not
20:01.12wizartsussi in a way yes. surrender should count just as if the match was played out in full.
20:01.22sussiits 2 views to the same medal
20:01.31wizartBut I would like to see a mark in the logs that a game was a forfeight.
20:01.47SportChickissue 1: whether to allow surrender/mercy rule (in the event of a very lopsided match)
20:01.47sussilets vote for surrender -> duc rulez
20:02.04SportChickissue 2: shortened match to allow someone who has not much time to play anyway
20:02.29wizartSo I would like to see what our options are technically.
20:02.33Mr_Molezsurely addition code to the leauge to have 2 options of scoring normal score and normal score / 2
20:02.41Mr_Molez*additional
20:03.02wizartMr_Molez, yes. Someone would have to write that
20:03.35Mr_Molezit seems simple enough
20:03.44Mr_Molezbut do people really want less points for 15 min matches ?
20:03.50sussiwhat if the weaker team starts to call : no time: to avaoid the extra minus points
20:04.30wizartI like the idea of 15 minute matches with reduced score for playing vs weaker teams.
20:04.32sussiMr_molez: seems really to like the short match variant
20:04.45SportChickwell when there's that much of a difference between the teams,t he point change is very small actually
20:04.59Mr_Molezsussi: it doesn't really matter that much. If they call short time atleast you get a match out of them instead of no match ata ll
20:05.03Mr_Molez*at all

20:05.29wizartIt's a risk for both teams to play. And since a lot depoends on the form of the day a 15 minute match with half the score seams to be a good kompromise.
20:05.38Mr_Molezplus the idea is to let less good teams not have to cope with a full 30 minute slaughter
20:05.45sussithe reason for not matching is imho just not to find a teamy
20:05.53wizartif it's ending 8:0 both teams are glad it didn't take longer
20:06.22sussiwith surrender u can end the slaughter!
20:06.40usoi too would not like the scores reset once a year, but another way to prevent position camping is to have an expiration of old match results
20:06.41wizartsussi, yes that too. Maybe having an official site with a list of team players would help?
20:06.42Mr_Molezsussi: not everyone is quitters
20:06.47sussiif i was a noob i was bett i could surrender
20:06.49SportChickBlue_Eyes: what do you think?
20:06.54Mr_Molezquitting is frowned upon :P
20:07.02usolike only take the results of the last year or whatever time into calculation of the points
20:07.28wizartsussi, true, but surrender is also a bit rude sometimes.
20:07.42usoi believe the tennis leagues do it that way, but not sure
20:07.47SportChickyes, some teams get upset if you don't play the match out in full
20:08.00sussimy sugestion: add a surrender option ASAP, lets start a league threat for 15 minuts
20:08.13sussiwiz: not at all
20:08.40Mr_Molezsussi: how about the league does a week long test or something before it becomes official to see how it goes ?
20:08.45sussimight surrender earliest after 15 minuts
20:08.55wizartuso, internet based chess or go rating systems take the time since a match was played into account. But the algorithms are very difficult.

20:09.54wizartuso, hehe. for executing the programms we wrote in every free minute of the last half year ?
20:10.32usosurrender isn't a good idea, if you wanne fight a match have the moral to fight it to the end ;)
20:10.49wizartyes.
20:10.55Mr_Molezand surrender in most surcumstances causes arguement
20:10.56usohehe, shouldn't be that hard to programm any formula into a small programm
20:11.10Mr_Molezcircumstances wow i cant spell
20:11.11sussiuso: 3. reset score?! absolutly because nobody could say it his score affected by the ME or other cheat
20:11.40wizartThe only thing that's for a surrender in my oppinion is that it will allow a team to saurrender if a player runns out of time and has to leave.
20:11.53usoyou never could say that for sure, sussi
20:12.03wizartright. never
20:12.25sussii know that the weak team feel  its over, thats the point to surrender
20:12.34usoit someone proven cheated simply remove the results of his matches or the team at all
20:12.54wizartA lot of teams give up when there are only 4 minutes to go but they are 4 points behind.
20:13.01sussibarons over 1800 now, its only not sure or it hurts??!
20:13.58sussiesp ir you look at the past results
20:14.01wizarthmm. Maybe a surrender isn't thaaaat bad.
20:14.07usoso you implicitly acuse them of cheating? any proof??
20:14.20Mr_Molezxell got caught ;)
20:14.39wizartoh? couldn't keep up with rb2 and skit?
20:14.43sussii think so
20:14.47usothese days or the old story/rumour?
20:15.10sussiregardless , with a reset we have a new start
20:15.40sussiuso: define cheat??
20:15.45usoi mean is it proven if he really is the same as Cell?
20:15.50wizartno. I'm against a reset. Simply because right now I wouldn't mind to play vs the barons at any time. But after a reset I would deny them any match.
20:15.51Mr_Molezi would like a reset but 99% of other players wont
20:15.55sussiit has to done next time for the league
20:16.18sussifor what reason wiz?
20:16.20wizartAfter a reset I would not match vs barons, vbz, zees and others.
20:16.24usosussi: sorry, my comment regarding score reset was about a regular like yearly score reset
20:16.26wizartBecause it's insane
20:16.34wizartIt's like handing out points for free
20:16.51usoif you start a new leagu no argument against a score reset for the begin
20:16.52Mr_Molezyou shouldn't not match peoples just cuz u know u will lose
20:17.14wizartWe don't look at the points much but we like to be above the 1200 where we started
20:17.36sussii' against yearly reset too, i'm for reseting now, cause everybody know that many points are gained with help of ME and other stuff
20:17.40wizartThe elo is fine.
20:18.08wizartIf anything we should use the db to calculate something like a year based ranking similar to the 1vs1 league.
20:18.09sussi+ at least a fixed amount for a win
20:18.11Mr_MolezME is still around
20:18.38sussii think its a bug not a feature
20:18.50wizartyes. ME is around and it will not disappear. Most PC's ship with ME build in these days.
20:19.03sussimany players thinking otherwise and using the given feature
20:19.04Mr_Molezi think bzflag 2.1 will combat ME
20:19.46sussibut for now it isnt usefull to start the endless story about ME
20:19.53usoME is a given feature, not this old discussion again
20:20.09sussii'm sure that devs can solve it in the future
20:20.20wizartwell. I don't think we should reset based on the ME stuff
20:20.38usothe only thing i expect from bzflag 2.1 resp. 2.2 is to put the hit calculating, i.e. dead recognition server side
20:20.43sussii think for some reasons we should reset!!
20:21.05wizartuso, I thought about that. There is one issue with that: It's not fair anymore.
20:21.16sussithe DR delete erase some vectors?
20:21.16usothis will remove most of the probabilities to cheat, solve lag/jitter advantages and makes ME a nonissue
20:21.29wizartuso this would give the people with a lower lag a hughe advantage.
20:22.03wizartSo matches US/Europe will be very difficult and simply not happen among the top teams.
20:22.05sussiuso: i think it also, we should loook forward/into the furture
20:22.05usothere are ways to compensate for that, but in general you are right
20:22.48wizartuso, but there is a trick around this problem: Let the server handle a delayed calculation of the collision detection.
20:22.49usobut at the moment have people with a bad connection, i.e. a lot of jitter an advantage, and that's the wrong signal
20:22.51sussii dont like that old stuff is mixed into the new league
20:23.19wizartIt doesn't matter if we detect someone cheating right away or if we get a warning that someone cheated after a few minutes or maybe even a few hours.
20:23.37sussiso prepare the ducati league and post a reset as the issue is solved
20:24.09wizartsussi, I don't see any solution right now.
20:24.10sussiSC: u see we going through ur issue list?
20:24.37sussithe solution is the find answers to SC's issue list
20:25.36sussithe ME story was so sad because nobody react in time or equevalent to the issues
20:25.41wizartMaybe we can attach an imaginary spring to the score of inactive teams.
20:25.59wizartThe strong teams would move closer to 1200 and the weaker ones to 1200 too.
20:26.19wizartOr instead
20:26.22sussior a reset to 1200, after answers are found
20:26.40wizartHMake use of the current elo scores which are pretty good.
20:27.01wizartThe barons are very strong and earned a 1800 score
20:27.09sussii like a elo, and i like a minimum of points for a win
20:27.30sussilook deeply at their score table
20:27.34Mr_Molezi thought the barons team was deleted from the list why is it back ?
20:27.35wizartWhat about giving new teams a chance to get their initial score calculated based on their first five games?
20:28.14sussii like as it is : u cant delete teams/players
20:28.32sussithem are just inactive/non vissible
20:28.32wizartThis would allow mikkel&co to start with a score close to their strength as well as it would allow new teams to start with 900 or so.
20:28.56wizartI know it was frustrating in the first few month to see your score fall down no matter what you did,
20:29.17sussii had a hard discussion with mikkel about my thinking; he's cheating
20:29.35wizartoh ?
20:29.47wizartall the time or just when he's really bored ?
20:30.04usodon't overestimate the point too much, if it's not fun to play in a league even the heaviest loss of points/ranks will anybody get to play matches ;)
20:30.10sussiits a easy solution to answer quick: GIVE ME A PROOF
20:30.24wizartand do you call ME or modified config files a cheat?
20:30.43sussiwe need to find how to handle if issuese comes out
20:31.15sussiits related to equal server-settings?
20:31.25*** part/##essy Hirion (n=hirion@draugr.de)
20:32.31wizartsussi, I meant the config files for the bzclient. Like radar zoom, color of tanks etc.
20:32.53Mr_Molezeverything in the config that has become changable is not a feature of bzflag
20:32.57Mr_Molezradar size etc
20:32.57sussisshort answer: same settings to everybody in matches, or the possibility , i really dont like if somebody win only for editing files
20:33.05Mr_Moleznot = now
20:33.13sussi1.4 for radar should allowed
20:33.32sussito look cross the map
20:33.34Mr_Molezyes but nothing stops you making the same changes
20:33.59wizartI think 1.4 for radar is not possible in the latest clients (it wasn't in 2.0.4)
20:34.03usosussi, if you want to be sure nobody cheats you can only play matches locally on identical hard and software for all players ;)
20:34.07sussii only have to know, that was my reason to open the threat about conf-files
20:34.30sussihow u identify cheats at first?
20:34.49wizartAnd, not everyone has the same screen, pc, mouse or graphic card.
20:34.54usoiof you play from home with different hardware there always will be differences, advantages like a faster computer, a bigger monitor, a faster reacting mouse or keyboard, ...
20:35.09wizartEditing the colors, radar size etc is just adjusting these things imho.
20:35.10sussino doubt about ..
20:35.21usobut we don't talk about a legue were the first price is a million $ :)
20:35.34wizartlol
20:35.59wizartFor example gu, Without modifying nthe blue shot color they are really really hard to see.
20:36.09usoi think the fun of playing is essential, and if we do not take this into account the league will stay inactive
20:36.10sussifor me it schould a rule , that all diff to the official files, should announced
20:36.21sussiif not it is a cheat for me
20:36.43wizartok. MAybe that's an idea. or we collect things that are allowed
20:36.53sussinot a cheat to change the code, only to gain advantages from hidden stuff
20:37.14wizartFor example I removed the background mountains and clouds to get a better framerate with my lousy graphic card.
20:37.23sussiwizard: i did already
20:37.41wizartok
20:38.26sussihttp://my.bzflag.org/league/index.php?link=bzforums&forumid=2&threadid=1211&
20:39.27sussii dislike that mikkel and other used setting what gave them advantages without to say that is related to this special setting
20:40.54sussithan if u can trust ducati-teammembers in general, it is easier to isolate the harcorecheaters
20:41.22sussiif we get back a athmosphaere of thrust
20:43.03usoif i would suspect every second or third bzflag player of cheating, i'm sure i would lose the fun to play almost immediatly
20:43.37usofor me the mosst essential factor in the game is still the player itself
20:45.27usoas an example you may gain a few microseconds of reaction time by a faster mouse or a faster computer with higher frame rates or a bigger monitor where you get a movement of the opponent a millisecond earlier
20:45.46*** mode/##essy [+o SportChicky] by SportChick
20:45.55usobut compared with that human reaction times are in the range of 200 ms

20:47.03*** mode/##essy [+v tokimi] by ChanServ
20:47.07sussireation time 200ms but a human is able to feel 2 ms, compare to razor mouse reports
20:47.23SportChicktokimi: wb
20:47.25usoso you may avoid one kill of a hundret, with a better tactics, more foresight, more "brain" in playing you may gain a lot more of advantage
20:47.29tokimihi
20:47.32wizartyes. that's my feeling to sussi ;)
20:47.58sussii red reports that a human can feel 2 ms
20:48.32wizartjust a few ms jitter can go a long way.
20:49.09wizartnormal gameplay I will probably notice 10-20ms
20:49.30wizartBut in either case the advantage is small
20:50.02wizartI can play pretty well when drunk even though the reaction should be closer to 500ms instead of the usual 300ms
20:50.06sussiin linux u can set the pollrate to any rate, for 10 to 2 ms you feel a big diffence
20:50.30wizartsussi, I didn't know that.
20:50.47wizartDo you know how to do that or should I google?
20:50.52sussilomoco is the name or the tool
20:51.07sussior open the link
20:51.10wizartohhhhhh
20:51.13wizartpretty
20:51.18usojitter is much worse than every local advantage (like computer or ME), as it makes movement discontinous
20:51.33wizartalways searched for something like that
20:51.42wizartuso, yes
20:52.12wizartone idea would be to move collision detection into the server but keep the lag in mind.
20:52.26sussiwrong:
20:52.30Mr_Molez2.1 will do all that
20:52.41sussithe DR is vector based?!
20:52.45usothat's why i would like dead reconing in the server, as the server has the view of all other players and dr is not affected by a jittery line of a player
20:52.50wizartBut that's still not very usefull since I like to dodge based on what I can see
20:53.04wizartHow should I dodge if I can't see where the bullet really is ?
20:53.26sussiand with a lot of inputs, the bz lost some vectors!?
20:53.38usoMr_Molez, i doubt 2.1 will do this ;)
20:53.44wizartnot being able to dodge with pixel precission will hurt bad
20:54.54sussiihmo the ME bug is based in forgetting that vectors!
20:55.12Mr_Molezduno.. 2.1 will be about 2 years away
20:55.18Mr_Molezi see no reason it wont :P
20:55.48sussifilters in front of DR would mild the issue , or even solve
20:56.19wizartsussi, probably. I also suspect that there is a real bug somewhere
20:56.24usosussi, it does not lose vectors, the problem is the transport over the network
20:56.32sussiNO
20:56.59usoto limit the network bandwidth the packet rate is limited to 30 packets per second iirc
20:57.00sussithe problem is:  the filter is not infront of the DR
20:57.11sussiuso: we know
20:57.31usoso you locally can move faster than the others see it over the network

20:57.59SportChickJeffM2501: hiya
20:58.11JeffM2501hi
20:58.14usoand as your local client detects the hit you get not hit because you moved away, but the others did not see your move and see you hit
20:58.43sussiwhat if the input produce a lot of vectors at hte same time?!
20:59.08sussilets say:
20:59.35sussimouse-vibration generator- bz - DR
20:59.35JeffM2501nothing much as been done in 2.1 just so you all know
21:00.40usoi assumed that ... as for now :)
21:01.00sussiwhat if the vibration generator (VG) overlay the mouse input with 2 khz ?
21:01.49sussi->mouse->vibration generator-> bz -> DR -> filter -> network
21:01.58usobzflag calculates all it has to calculate, only if it's ready it draws the next frame
21:01.58wizartouch
21:02.15wizartsussi, that would be really bad on a non ME limited server
21:02.23usoif it's "overloaded" you simply get a lower frame rate
21:02.47wizartsussi, did someone do that? snick per chance?
21:03.25sussioberload it the DR?
21:03.50wizartoh.I thought it's an imaginary program
21:04.19sussithe acceleration limit allow what frequenz of the VG?

21:30.59Mr_Molezuhoh
21:31.12CBGeek
21:31.18conanhomeget off all those clumsy "forums" and use a plain old mailing list for communication. Works better.
21:31.46conanhomeyou can still have them online with proper exportation
21:32.24longhairhow about: get off those clumsy forums and play a match sometime :)
21:32.27conanhomeand with a littlo more work you can add the feature to be able to respond to a mail in the list from the web, but the primary interface should be a good mail client
21:32.31conanhomelonghair: lol
21:32.35conanhomelonghair: i tried today
21:32.57Mr_Molezhaha
21:32.58conanhomelonghair: but since a month i changed a little bit my bzflag hours, and now i can't find anyone online

21:42.32longhairhehe, what mail client are you using?
21:42.40longhair(not a loaded question)

21:43.09longhairI was going to guess something like that :)
21:43.19longhairsince you're a keyboard user
21:43.23conanhomelonghair: hehe
21:44.12conanhomelonghair: my principle is this: i have 10 fingers and i wann use them all for giving commands to my computer. Not just one (or two at maximun).
21:44.44longhairoh, it makes sense totally. Unfortunately, people love their mice
21:45.10longhairon the other hand, the keyboard isn't particularly useful in Photoshop
21:46.35conanhomelonghair: of course, i joke with my friends about going to disconnect mouse once and for all, but i know that there is a use for it wich cannot be emulated comfortably with a keyboard.
21:47.03conanhomelonghair: what i do dislike is that mouse has become so universal in emulating things that should be done better with a keyboard.
21:47.18longhairconanhome: seems that what is needed is a good balance.
21:47.29longhairsounds kinda like the rest of life, eh?

21:50.38conanhomeit would be nice to have a good plugin/patch for bzflag that do what is done in the 1vs1 servers but for the 4vs4 ones, but i don't know if that enters the category of improvements to the league
21:52.11Mr_Molezwhat does 1v1 plugin do ?
21:54.43conanhomeMr_Molez: keeps the information of players and results
21:54.51longhairconanhome: have you seen the race to seven plugin?
21:55.57conanhomeMr_Molez: would be nice to have statistics about who beats who in bzflag

22:02.04conanhomeand it's running on any ducati server?
22:02.28Mr_Molezdont this so
22:02.33Mr_Molezi can start a sever with it enabled if u want
22:04.19longhairconanhome: my main gripe with race to seven is that is ends matches based on a team getting to a designated score.
22:04.44longhairWhich could be 5 minutes or 2 hours depending on how well the teams are matched up
22:05.19longhairI'm not convinced that auto reporting of matches is a good idea. Would depend on the algorithm used to deal with human foibles at match time.
22:06.10conanhomelonghair: so race to seven can't be played for 30 minutes, just score...
22:06.31Mr_Molezsurely it can easily be changed
22:06.37conanhomelonghair: yeah, the algorith to resolve quits and replacements could get nasty
