Quake / Re: Quadz, the Loquaciously Multiloquent Member

Rock On

Erica texted me last night and told me the news.  I'm speechless.  quadz was one of the most standup guys I had ever had the pleasure of knowing.  He gave a guy like me who deserved to be perma-banned(on many occasions), chance after chance after chance.  I don't think I've ever seen that guy lose his cool, he was always levelheaded and was fair in his decisions/punishments.  The world got a little darker with his passing.  They always take the good ones. 

My sincere condolences go to his family.  That guy leaves behind a void that will never be filled.  I'm not sure if he was secretly suffering or whatnot, but may this legend of a man rest in peace.

Judging by his selflessness at keeping these servers going, the hosting, all of it, he seemed like he was rather well off financially.  Whether he was or wasn't, if a GoFundMe or any of the sort is created by his family or if we were to create one, I would happily give to his family.  Not that it would replace him or anything, but I would love to help his family/friends be able to mourn and not have to worry about any of the financial side of his passing. 

Guy was true to his word.  He always said: "as long as there is breath in my body, I will keep tastyspleen up and going".  What a tragic fucking loss.

Quake / Re: Open letter to Quake 2 fam (servers dying fast)

Factually Challenged

If you advertise it correctly and it's for a decent amount say a couple hundred dollars for the grand prize(just an example, lets not get technical here), you could garner interest.  Q2 is so old that the "millenials" if you will, don't even prolly knows it exists tbh.  You throw a cash prize out there with all these idiots that don't want to work, you're telling me it wouldn't work?  Yes the majority of the people will play the one time and quit, but even if you get a few people that continue to play afterwards, isn't that a win?  Set a date for a month or two away, advertise it across every damn FPS website/forum/chat you can find and I guarantee people will line up to play/practice til the tourney happens.  Since every game that is made in this day and age is garbage, I have a feeling people will get hooked.  Hell, we just did a regular ra2 tourney and look at how many we got to sign up and that was 2 years ago with very little advertising.  Build it and they will come.  Add a "All this is possible thanks to quadz, especially for almost single handedly keeping q2 alive all these years.  Quadz provides/pays for the servers used in this tourney so please donate, any amount will help" at the top and I'm sure people will donate. 

You'd have to have the correct person to drive this though.  Someone who is lazy or is fucking retarded(ex/2d) shouldn't lead it.  And don't stop at one, do multiple tourneys.  I honestly don't think they all have to be cash to keep people playing.  There just needs to be a structured competition and people will continue to play.  Just use the first one to get as many people as possible to return or try q2 for the first time then do a couple or a few without a cash prize, rinse, repeat.

Registration / Re: Rocket Arena 2 Draft - Signups Closed, BRACKETS POSTED!

Absurd Misconstrual of Scientific Principles or Evidence

Hopefully we can get everyone together tomorrow or by Sunday cuz I'm pretty sure that's going to be our cut off point for getting the match played.  Lets all hope we can all get together tomorrow and play 3's like this thing was intended to be played as :/...So, tomorrow night at 10pm est, I'll be there.

This in turn translates into a negative rating for the entire thread by showing -7 at the top

That particular 'feature' of the rating system never seemed to make a ton of sense to me. (Why should the whole topic show a negative rating just because random posts were downvoted?)

I'd attempted to turn that off once before, but it wasn't obvious how. After a frenzy of additional clicking around the control panel, the topic rates total is finally disabled.

Thank you, good sir!

+1, ghosting is stupid.

inb42fgt get's all excited and starts exclaiming it in all caps words, just because I use vent for teamplay, doesn't mean I'm ghosting.  You've always just been trying to get the better players banned since you can't beat them.

Best Solution

pps: I've played in this event before as a couple others can confirm and every time 2dum shows up and its all he can do to push a mapvote so he can immediately try to join the stacked team. Then, he's predictably still a big fat coward and lets them do all the lifting while he hides and in the off chance that they all die, he attempts to rack up some frags on the people his teammates already knocked the health and armor off of.

This is exactly how you get a scoreboard where 2dum isn't on the bottom, and all told it makes the event less fun so I don't stick around for that gay crap.

hahahaha +5820

roooooooooofl, see 2dum, I'm not the only one who sees what you do to try to DESPERATELY get to the top spot on the scoreboard so you can tell any of us eL(who don't try as hard as you) that you owned us.   lolnt;lolnt;lolnt;lolnt; bro.  Time for a new strat, cuz this one isn't working out too well for ya.  You've been called out.  Also, when can we have our 1on1?  Waiting....
