Darkilla: In short, NS is pretty much really fast chess. With guns. Apophis: I haven't seen anyone say that SM's are better than non-SMs. Nordbomber: This is THE first server I've seen where either side can comeback from out of seemingly nowhere with the right teamwork. en4rcment: I have NEVER experienced the type of gameplay that I have found here. Nightly I am amazed at the personalities and gaming talent. Root: Welcome to TG. Feel free to punctuate your sentences correctly. Monkerz: Its gonna take all my skills to beat those boys off in the future.

Poe, when you join #tacticalgamer, are you manually performing /authserv, or is there a way to automate it?

That should allow you to do it automatically. There is no core, built-in way at the moment, which is why a plug-in is necessary.


(Don't even try to work out some elaborate, sneaky thing with buddy pounces... trust me, doesn't work).
