Quake / Re: Quadz, the Loquaciously Multiloquent Member

Nice Job / Good Work

i havn't logged in too much since for a few years. i've been in my own world so to speak. i just found out now about this. can't believe i didn't see something pinned to this post! was he in bad health, how did it happen?? quadz was always the competitive type to me for a while. i always felt like he was treating me a tad unfairly on some things. i think it was just the stress & tension that he was dealing with & all our bullshit is why he replied in such a fashion. although over the years it became much more friendly.  he was always willing to lend a hand with advice (time permitting) to help me out.

i really feel bad that i didn't notice this earlier. he was cool guy, supported quake 2 for a long time & entertained us, scolded us (when necessary) & supported us through the years. us youngings, who turned old fuckers been around for more than 20 years!  we always had a place to play our favorite mods. he was always impartial when it came to smack talk feuds. even though i may not have agreed with his every decision at the time. he still had the cooler head more than most of us. he will be missed. it's sad one of ours had to go so soon.  member of the community. RIP i considered him a friend, even if we didn't play together that much. i remember some 64 player events he would participate in. good times.


i want to share some personal messages i had with console, quadz over the years if that's ok. i'd encourage anyone to keep his memory alive so you show your personal messages or controversial posts also if you like.

Aloha,

what about the ratings. you omittied addressing that part. obviously there seems to be an issue for some reason or another. care to elaborate

(Sorry for the delay, been busy with work.)

The new rating system is still experimental, and i'm trying to see if I can prevent some of the usage patterns that happened on the previous systems.

I felt you were over-using the "troll" rating, but my attempt to fix that was to move "troll" to neutral.

Then I saw you'd marked one of my posts as "absurd misconstrual of scientific principles or evidence" which was bizarre and reminded me I had already had to recategorize 'troll' due to your usage pattern, so it seemed easiest to limit your account to neutral ratings only.

But again, the system is still experimental, so who knows. It's also supposed to be fun, so it's hard to know how much to care about accuracy of ratings.

Thoughts?

tastyspleen.net / Clemency for the banned?

Well-Reasoned Argument and/or Conclusion

i remember the Argentinian girl that got banned a long time ago. she played xatrix right. sucks to be ousted and never to be able to play your favorite game again. (no other server has players) are there some others that got banned for other than cheating? is this still active ? what if they tried to connect? maybe we should drop the jail sentence and invoke life imprisonment sentence for parole. what say you quadz?[/size]

Quake / Re: CTF maps messed up (Jacquio overrides are awful)

Racist Ignoramus

Personally I love Jacquio's overrides. Red Armors in hiding places, good weapons and yellow armors everywhere, etc. He's ahead of his time.

AHAHAH love the sarcasm there. quite entertaining but i assure the ctf community,  it's there for the betterment of competetive ctf lol. the layout structure was a bit unfair. so i fixed it up. classic diehards will vehemently disagree!

I've played ctf for damn near 15 years, and I can tell you for sure that the overrides are all Golgo's bullshit, because at ACME there were never any overrides, the original version of maps were fine and the most played consistently.  The different versions of maps are cool (like -a and -b versions) and we played them too, but there were never any overrides. 

i can give a complete armor ratio breakdown upon request. involving the number of armors and the spawning of armors on the map. e.g lush 2 jacket armors spawn every 20 seconds for a grand total of 150 armor per minute with the additional default armors that are in it's original place. minus 1 mega power of 100 every 60 seconds or when it wears off. so 50 additional light armor was added to the map. not a big difference just more armor for teams to pickup and not be completely naked.

The original weapon placements were truly the best... plus at this point, learning where new weapons are would be hell on earth for any of us to try and remember... lol.

apparently you have alzeimers lol. there's only 4 main weapons in CTF. chaingun, railgun, rocket launcher and super shotgun. the others are there for flavor and not available in every map in classic ctf. how much is there to remember? take the alteration to lfctf4 send in the clones. the weapons are centered in the middle are chainguns and rocket launchers. the railgun is still in it's proper place. otherwise you would have to spawn furthest upon death  go back in the other direction to find a good weapon and it set you back the whole game.

there are many different aspects to it, however these settings were more geared for the lithctf mod. so putting in threewave ctf would be a little different. but thanks for informing quadz of my only contribution to tasty in the form of map overrides to change them. you could have just played them since acme has all the other ones.it's petty but i don't play ctf anymore. so who cares.

OK, well after receiving some good advice, i believe it's time to close up shop on this account. It's been quite ripe for deleting for a long time past. However, also considering with the totality of the atmosphere here, in which that has always existed,now seems like the best time. i will still play quake 2, just not participate on this website anymore. let the theories swirl about the "real reason" for it.  i don't care. I'm sure there will be another surrogate to vent on, anyways Adios! Tastyspleen! Quadz has my permission to delete this account.

When you make a public post about a series, you're opening it up for spoilers. or even people who will try to hoax-spoil the plot. #Justsaying. this is tastyspleen after all.  should know by now.

would still like to know why he thought my videos were worth hijacking this thread for? 

yes they are lame, but I find them amusing

pretty much answered your own question there. although i found it unamusing. deal with it. or delete it. matters not. making such a big deal over smileys is much worse.
