Allowing full teams and a round restart on Sept. 12th Scrim

Ytman — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:02:56 GMT

Would it be possible to allow for a short 10 minute breather space between when the server runs the map and when the round actually begins. By this I mean an admin running the map, let people load in, and then restart the round?

The reason I ask this is because I fear I can not run the map coming in from a another map, this problem may exist with others.

Squad hopping

Abel — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:40:03 GMT

Just wanted to bring that up again since some folks here at TG apparently thinks it's ok to do..

I'm back after a long hiatus.

Siantis — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:36:53 GMT

Today was the first time in a long while I've played ARMA 2. Finally broke down and bought OA. I somehow remembered about TG and the awesome servers you guys run. Had a lot of fun today getting back into the swing of things.

I have Yoma/Synch downloading all I need as we speak, and look forward to more great games with you all.

dreaming of gaming

BeSiege82 — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:04:59 GMT

I imagine everyone of you have had a dream about your favorite video game and sometimes they have been fun and sometimes scary. Recently I had a video game dream, but this time it was for Modern Warfare 2, but it had a little twist.

This morning I had a dream where I was playing on one of the maps in Modern Warfare 2, but for some reason people started to use their knives. This is not out of the ordinary when you play the game in real life, but the twist begins after you have been dealt your first slice...

I was running around and I was shot and killed by a guy with an automatic FAL. I felt the gunshot but then respawned. I did not know what to do at first, but then moved on. I then decided to go knife the man with the FAL. We started to knife fight, which was interesting. I remember being cut many times over. I could feel it though. I kid you not, I remember the burning, slicing pain of my left palm being cut open by this player. I was bleeding everywhere and so was he. I remember cutting part of his neck and how he taunted me to try to put more force behind the blade because I lacked the force to kill him. Soon after that I basically killed him and a friend of mine finished him off...

It was great, but when I woke up, my left palm felt really sore. Looking back, it was very strange to have the sensation of being shot and sliced up by knives.

Any of you willing to share a vivid and touching dream involving games?

Bit Torrenting and ISPs

Sirusblk — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:02:57 GMT

Hello everyone. I've got some questions. In short I am very pissed off with my ISP. Around where I live there is only one Cable company offered (a monopoly regardless of whether DSL is considered a competitor or not). Time Warner Cable is the bane of my existence but if I am to subscribe to an internet provider I must go with them. I've regarly had problems with them, argued with their supposed award winning customer service (repeatedly talked to idiots on the other line who didn't know what they were talking about). But this is all just a preface to the real issue I wish to discuss.

Time Warner Cable has seen fit to reset my internet connection when I am bit torrenting. Now before anyone responds, "Hey isn't that illegal?". No it is not, and you might want to educate yourself on the matter with this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorr...)#Legal_issues

In short it's only illegal if I am sharing files which are copyrighted and I do not own the copy right to. However bit torrenting covers everything, often legitimate needs. There is copyright free music in which I am allowed to share with others as well as software, movies, etc. Blizzard Entertainment updates it's game with bit torrenting technology.

So what's my problem? Time Warner Cable resets my connection when they see that I am bit torrenting. So I ask, any suggestions? I use uTorrent and have found that randomizing my port every time I download helps as well as encrypting my upload. Time Warner Cable only seems to be checking in on my upload if that helps. In short I'm tired of constantly being screwed over by a service I pay for but can't use.

Do you guys think that we can get enough people back into 2142 to have old-times stuff like scrims. I've never been in one and from what I've read on the forums they sound fun. Bunch of guys honoring the chain of command, mmm tasty!
