While i'll probaly wont ever get into the whole skin business, that Spy IPod (or perhaps SpyPod, or maybe SpIPod) is pretty awesome, actually.

As to be somewhat more on-topic, found the Cow Mangler... 9000? or something as a drop, suprisingly right after Blaze did when more or less ragequitting from the server due to the bots being total assholes. (Godamn spy-bot kept me from sniping, twice, in a row! They're rarely that smart! That particular section of Dustbowl already has such little attack oppertunity without brutal retaliation! Gah.)

I guess free players even get rare/good weapons, but nope, never hats, it seems.

I havent seen someone on the server in 2-3 days now... Its dead again, isnt it?
Oh well i hear rumors of an update occuring somewhere at 4 or 5 April, possibily not much, but if its still as lifeless i suggest a new world. That always gets people back to the server...

Atleast i had some fun building a semi-secret lab connected to the Bar's basement, which ended up pretty decently, even has a view of the ocean, somewhat. I guess for anyone curious there's a decently hidden switch in the basement opening up its entrance.

Does sound like you got everything setup if it says you're using a different Skulltag version then the server you're connecting to. Except the Skulltag version being most likely too old.

Of course that depends what you're trying to connect to, make sure you've downloaded the latest MM8BDM and basically replace/overwrite your current MM8BDM and Skulltag files with the new ones from the zip file.
Its available at: http://www.sendspace.com/file/z8fmsd
And also: http://www.mediafire.com/?zx64s3x8hh9738h
So just take a pick i guess, they're both the same. Whatever download mirror you like better.

And if you are trying to connect to a Doom2 Server (the majority of servers on Skulltag), this part of the post is more relevant, or if ever planning to do so. Otherwise you can ignore this part.

Edit: Oh, and if it still persists after doing this its probaly the server's fault for using a older/different Skulltag version, they're either persistently doing so or forgot to update, then.

I guess its better off for purely defence in areas snipers cant easily shoot in then, hm, atleast hats DO drop then. Wonder if i'll find another decent game i want to buy on Steam so i can put the leftovers to use on making it a premium account... And maybe getting a few fun and interesting weapon items.

As for the medigun thing... Eh, people consider it that useless? Guess people really value their overhealing, does make sniping a tedious job sometimes, having a headshot fail to do lethal damage...

170
Just wondering if these two items i found are quite worth using; The Brass Beast, that does 20% extra damage, but takes 50% time more to start spinning, and decreases movement to a absolute snail's pace with -60%. (Not that it helps alot more against Snipers vs the default/Natascha minigun, i think.) Do have it combined with the Gloves Of Urgently Running, which is handy for getting around when switching to melee.

And the Quick-Fix, having 40% more healing rate and 25% better ubercharge rate, and lets the medic walk at any faster class's rate he's healing, but replaces the default Ubercharge effect with 300% healing increase for the duration and negates movement-impairing effects as well, cant overheal either. I assume its handy mid-combat but not when people are trying to burst through with an Ubercharge at the start or a heavily defended area in any case.

Hm, i also wonder, do hats EVER drop, just like that, like any other item? I bet the only way to get em is to craft/buy em... Save for a few achievement ones.

171
Reminds me they even made a small "grave" in the jungle area about you being banned/non-whitelisted, probaly out of boredom.

I suppose personally you arent that bad most of the time, aside the odd dry joke or other thing that pushes it a bit far, though still right outside the border of griefing (and possibily trolling), making it hard for people to enjoy being around you, sometimes, but i suppose the ban is being a bit long now. And as long as that whole incident doesnt repeat i have no objection against you being unbanned/added to the whitelist.

Hm, if the server still isnt updated i should probaly try PMing mike or something.

And from what i hear atleast cats wont be that annoying, as long as you force them to sit down before stopping and operating furnaces/chests and stuff. Hm... Wonder what they'll do if the top of the furnace/chest is blocked with another block (like stairs or slabs that still permit the chests under them to be used).

172
Server's still outdated it seems, are there any technical issues or did you simply take a break and didnt notice?

Whatever the case i hope they fixed the godamn bug that makes cats choke to death when pushed against blocks only to go into them (EVEN IF THEY ARE SOLID AND NON-TRANSPARANT), and thus die.

Hm, whats the thing about 'making cats more realistic' anyway. They break stuff now? They require food, maybe? Sure hope its nothing that drastic...

173
After reading the last few pages, if you ask me, the mods/admins should try to leave decisions to the players, or so thats what i tend to do. If someone's annoying the others i just either suggest they votekick, ignore, or ask around and see if the majority wants that player kicked/muted. If its anything servere like absolute floods of spam, it basically asks for a kick or a hour ban maybe.

As for gameplay stuff, eh, they'll probaly manage, as i tend to leave votekicks and other vote functions active (though worst case bug abuse may encourage forced spectating). Sometimes messing with RCON to cause a little havoc might lighten up the sprit too, such as reversing, nullifying or intensifying the gravity level, or playing a funny sound for a moment on music loop before returning normal level music (if whatever's being hosted has one). Ah... Or good ol puking scripts for the more advanced user... Though only if you know the crowd playing on your server and they're OK with it.

And i'll suggest again in case it was missed (though i think i posted it here before): Sharing IP's (no idea if its allowed in the Forums through any other means then PM) of well known trolls, hackers, perhaps glitchers/bug abusers or the likes for banning them to keep them out should work. Unless they know their way around such issues.

174
I heard Demomen where quite annoying but this takes the cake so far, seems even demomen bots can be asses. :P
Still hate Sniper bots more though. Damn all-knowing aimbotters.

175
Eh, as far as i recall once enemies get too close nor the Uzi or any Sniper Rifle would safe the Sniper most of the time, im not too fuzzed on the tracer, can always go out of range if the map allows, enemy snipers are a pain i imagine but i dont think they're much worse then bot enemy snipers, damn aimbotters, heh.
Also recall hearing switching sniping spots or other unpredictable habits work out well.

I guess with some more practise i might get really good with it, wether its fully charged bodyshots or the odd headshot, having a piercing shot kill both the Engineer and his sentry seems quite awesome.

And i cant trade (yet), aint got premium or whatever it was.

176
Well to blow a little life into this topic, i'd like to say i feel very accomplished by crafting this sniper rifle from God knows how many materials (hence the low inventory), and what took a fair while to do so.

Damn thing roars like a beast, is pretty dangerous on non-headshots too, and the drawbacks arent too harsh.

Think i'll have lots of fun with it, hehe...
Oh, and i could host private servers(mainly for bot-practise, or private matches) on demand if my EU ping doesnt kill you outright.

177
Kinda unfortunate, guess i'll be stacking up on items in the meanwhile then, untill i end up buying another game on Steam perhaps (and thus using the 5+ Euro leftovers on TF2). Wouldnt seem as obvious though, as the trade button just lets me use it, though i guess it stops at the moment you got a actual trade going...

And damn that last two practise rounds with bots was horrible, sort of. Both rounds lost due to the bots being too incapable of defending against the payload, topped the scoreboard somewhere in the 50 points total, above all the bots with the freaking sniper class, somehow. :P
Or maybe the practise paid off... Though considering the game's need for teamwork...

178
For some reason i got TWO Jarate (one achievement item, one regularly found one) now (the yellow jar Sniper uses, acts like a grenade, put in the secondary/uzi slot, affected enemies will show yellow and drenched and take mini-crits, and it puts out fires on allies, no clue about enemies), considering i dont need two, and assuming non-premium accounts can trade, anyone wanna trade for it? As long as its something semi-interesting i dont have it'll probaly do.

Do hope non-premium accounts can trade, as my only means of buying off of steam involves buying credit-card-ish vouchers with a minimum of 20.

179
Um, this seems somewhat important, so i hope doubleposting wont be minded in this case...

On a international scale, i think, the typically evil corporations are now trying to 'freeze' ACTA, so its free from harm and unchange untill it later unfreezes, in like 1-2 years, and then sneak it through the backdoor into current law, as all protests have ceased at that point, and most probably forgot.
http://www.laquadrature.net/en/dont-let ... reeze-acta
Bugging the ECJ about this to not investigate this is presumed the proper course of action, so they dont end up freezing ACTA to take a look at it. If not frozen, it will be subjected to the current votes and opinion of the EU and/or the people in general and will almost certainly fall.
Im not sure if its still going on though...

On a smaller scale, apparently Pakistan is recieving some fire, as its government is trying to recreate its own grand Firewall like China has...

Thats interesting, i can spy wether Cutman is online through the website he linked. It'll even tell us if he died to something. Quite handy for the stalkers around here!

3 Hours does seem a bit soft though, thats less then half one's gaming time a day! 5 would work better, if you ask me.
Not much to say right now about our MC server though, but i am curious how that whole 'a giant has ressurected' thing works out. Would be fun to summon giants manually with say, a large (and demonic-ish) ritual site.

Some seems very interested in an addon that punishes skyrim knee-arrow jokes, by litterally raining arrows on them, though thats probaly over the top and slightly abusable (aka friendly fire). Awesome concept though.

Edit: New version is out! Seems to be mostly bugfixing some critical issues, though this will end up messing up the current installed Add-ons i believe...
