Quake / Re: Last ditch hair brain idea
« on: July 13, 2021, 03:31:29 PM »
So I've been trying to stay quiet despite being as torn up as anyone else about the news due to not being welcome around here and wanting to be respectful, but I just have to chime in on this point specifically.

The server is most likely over priced by quite a bit, and is not spec'd out in any kind of useful way.

12 cores. I'm gonna guess that is 6 cores and hyperthreaded, which could mean a higher end E3 or lower end E5 (I think this was last moved before the whole platinum/gold/silver stuff). Core speed is going to matter, but not a whole bunch for the age of games running. An E3 proc is most likely going to be better for the application due to higher clock speed, with the later editions supporting 64G ram no problem.

64GB ram. Probably not completely necessary. 32GB might be sufficient, but this is one area where the spec is probably good. Could definitely run 6x8g sticks and get away with a 48g server while maintaining reasonable performance though.

1TB HDD is laughably underwhelming if there is any kind of storage concern. At the very least I'd think a couple 2TB drives set up in an mdadm raid (save money on hardware raid) would be a good alternative. I know software raid has some stigmas but I've seen it run in production environments for years without issue supporting massive workloads.

There are a handful of big factors that determine monthly cost of a rented bare metal server. The first is proc/board as newer stuff costs more and older stuff is all paid off (for the hosting company) so they can give it at a discount. The second is form factor, where blades or microclouds take up less physical space in the datacenter but also they can't take as many drives. Third is bandwidth, where you have the easiest time to shave BIG costs off as servers can come with 10-100TB of bandwidth and some times you only need like 2TB or so. A standard 1G port running full stop for a month uses something like 300TB, but typically game servers use almost none and any bandwidth usage would be from downloading/uploading files.

Another thing to be aware of is that you can't directly compare hosting companies. There are big providers like IBM (formerly softlayer, formerly theplanet who used to host TS) with actual datacenters with proper cooling, network stacks, fire suppression, certification, and competent technicians. There are also sketchy assholes that just run server farms in warehouses and use dodgy brands for hardware. Obviously cutting corners means the servers are cheaper, and respectable companies can't compete on price with the amount of corners cut in most cases. So cheap is not always good.

Backups are also going to add to cost, but those are so all over the map that I can't comment on what would be good or speculate on what is set up now. Honestly some one could rsync to a local server, using a ton bandwidth for one run then minimal for changes after. (SQL databases are a bitch to backup though, for phpbb)

I thought the server ran cpanel or something similar due to the user account set up and file structure, which would add an unnecessary amount (32ish?) per month.

Going virtual to save money on a VPS of sorts, the storage is a problem. Typically the cheaper VMs have small disks, and to get up in the 1TB storage range it can quickly cost more than an older spec discounted bare metal server.

Even if you cut a lot of unnecessary costs, get an optimal set up for hardware for use case (dual 2tb in mdadm raid, slightly older E3, 48g ram, microcloud/blade chassis, maybe 2tb bandwidth), and go with a reputable company that still has reasonable prices... You are still looking at over 1k per year, BUT that is a lot more affordable than the numbers provided for how much TS costs currently.

In regards to Wabbit's mention of requiring the root keys, you shouldn't need them if the server has a BMC or some one at the datacenter can temp set up a kvm for it. If the disk is encrypted then that complicates things, but most likely it should just be possible to mount an ISO and go through normal root account recovery procedure (enabling/disabling users, changing passwords, modifying authorized keys, w/e). If the account gets transferred to some one responsible (like Jehar IMO), that should be almost a non-issue.

And @ yahoo who responded while I was typing this, the servers not populated are negligible on resource usage. 100 empty servers can run in the background without so much as a blip on the server resources. The only background server TS runs thats probably using more resources than necessary is the Q4 one because Q4 has some weird server bugs that make it use CPU even at idle.

Just some information for people who don't know server hosting well I guess. I don't have much of a stake in this as I'm basically non-existent around here right now, but wanted to help out.

EDIT: 6600/year is what is listed in the dono thread that recently got bumped which works out to 550/month, but after talking to some people it sounds like it was cut down significantly after the move a few years back. Still think there is some room for cost savings if it becomes an issue, but its not as overpriced as the public numbers make it look.

I haven't brought vae up at all in discord. Here is what he's been saying in the last two days:

bak2basiks
Can you just ban haunted at this point? I get annoyed when people shit talk about game stuff and won't back it up, or lie. I get actually pissed when some one tries to make it personal and starts sharing things that have NOTHING to do with the game.

bak2basiks:
Since you really want to make it about haunted, the tdm server admin who was so mad he was losing to me on my worst map he rcon'd to admin to force more time and lost even harder, while talking shit the whole time...

2 more days on thread not about you or me without me responding and you double post again because you are obsessed with me.

Context for the above:
The first quote is beav just pulling shit from months ago when you were stalking me and being an even more annoying twat than usual. This is extremely obvious because it wasn't even in a message I posted.

The second quote is because beav is a dumbass and kept bringing you up along with other drama for hours because he was pissed I posted his KDR stats. Drama queen makes it about drama every time you talk about the game. I didn't bring you up. There is zero reason for me to.

I posted my KDR stats in response to beav talking shit after I posted his. I posted beav's because he was bragging about getting 1.6 kdr against noobs on the live stats. Here is the first message I posted in that conversation:

Quote
More useful to pull stats when you played people who weren't retarded. Last months stats from the tdm servers:
http://tastyspleen.net/quake/stats/frags/tourney-210501.txt
beavughh{KEA}(-2.63)
The month before that:
http://tastyspleen.net/quake/stats/frags/tourney-210401.txt
beavughh{KEA}'s kill/death ratio: -2.02
And the month before that:
http://tastyspleen.net/quake/stats/frags/tourney-210301.txt
beavughh{KEA}'s kill/death ratio: -2.84
And the month before that:
http://tastyspleen.net/quake/stats/frags/tourney-210201.txt
Beavughh{KEA}'s kill/death ratio: -2.69
And the month before that:
http://tastyspleen.net/quake/stats/frags/tourney-210101.txt
Beavughh{KEA}'s kill/death ratio: -2.36
No surprise you don't even have stats on the tdm servers this month so far. Good for you knowing when to give up, even if its quite late.
Going back to December, things are looking up:
http://tastyspleen.net/quake/stats/frags/tourney-201201.txt
Beavughh{KEA}'s kill/death ratio: -1.73

Except then you go back to November and you get this:
http://tastyspleen.net/quake/stats/frags/tourney-201101.txt
beavughhh's kill/death ratio: -24.00

Then he started shit talking me, so I pulled some of my kdr stats in response. I didn't just randomly post my KDR stats. I pulled beav's and then mine when he got offended I showed everyone how bad he is.

I guess you completely missed the message before I posted my stats:
"bak2basiks
 —
Yesterday at 9:45 PM
Ah, you want to make this about me. Well okay I can do that. Your average looked to be below -2 for kdr on the tdm servers, for reference."

Haunted, you really should stop being obsessed with me. Taking this shit out of context doesn't even make sense. Like obviously some one else kept bringing you up because I said "Since you really want to make it about haunted". And asking to get you banned was clearly pulled from more than 4 months ago, and that quote wasn't even posted by me which you can clearly see if you read the conversation.

Please stop being obsessed with me. I don't even know why you hang around discord and the forums when you have stated you will never play quake again, and you haven't played in YEARS.

As long as vae chimes in on threads acting like an elitist douche I'll call him out on all the lies he's spewed that harms what's most precious to him; his ego.

All he's gotta do is admit all of his lies or better yet prove he's telling the truth. The latter is impossible, and the first is too painful.  :busted:

Don't start shit there won't be none.

I haven't responded with a substantive reply on this thread since the 12th, and here you are two days later STILL hijacking the thread.

Please seek help and stop being so obsessed with me.

I'm not even going to acknowledge your blatant slander that you continue to spread just because you are jealous I got better than you at a video game.

bak2basiks — 2/18/21
You are obsessed with me. It is creepy. I have honestly considered calling the police because you obviously are not going to stop regardless of how much I ask. This is abnormal. Go have a life.

Quote
I can post games of beating you back to back in your admitted peak of q2

Also vae: "I used a program to search in-game text/scores to find all of my wins against haunted and only found 3."

I searched my demos because you wouldn't stop harassing me to provide proof that I beat you. So I spent a little time to provide that proof.

I kept saying you are obsessed because you literally followed me to THREE DIFFERENT DISCORDS to continue your shit talking drama. All of this after you came into a discord we used to get games going just to talk shit, even though you had no intention of playing quake and hadn't played in YEARS, stirring up drama and basically killing any game activity. Then you followed me to TWO different discords and started more shit.

Also, almost all of those chat messages you posted are me responding to some one else talking about you or responding to you directly. You aren't special.

If you want more proof that you are obsessed: You just spent the time to copy/paste 82 messages from discord to shit talk me in a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with your drama because I posted something that had nothing to do with you and was talking about a clan you never associated with, a game mode you never played, and four players you don't know.

Leave me the fuck alone already. You fucking creepy stalker. Even jehar had to tell you to shut up because you were causing drama in his discord and talking shit when it was obviously just a personal grudge and you had no intention of ever playing.

You want to make it about the game for once? Cause rcon'ing to admin to force more time into a game you were losing JUST TO LOSE HARDER on your opponents worst map is about as low as it gets:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmBwNzpCbkQ

Everyone else who has posted in this thread actually plays quake, EXCEPT for you haunted. You just want to stick around and cause as much drama as you can.

I've seen a Jimmy{KEA} around recently. He's a new one, not from the old days. I have no idea who "recruited" him to KEA, possibly Beaver or the other mystery person who changes his name all the fuckin' time.

Jimmy is Nitro. Afaik he's old kea but I can't confirm. He's tagged as kea since like 2016 when he started playing again and was my regular duel partner for a few years. Can ask him on discord I guess. Definitely the best player I've ever seen use the kea tag.

Oh trust me little zether i owned you too back in the day;) you were ok but not good enough

funny you have no records of highest fph up, hmmm, maybe you were to good to get placed. I disappeared for 10 years as still have records. interesting

http://tastyspleen.net/quake/stats/frags-fph/railz-fph.txt

Never looked at those before :D that was a fun waste of time looking over them. I've never seen most of those maps and a ton only have a handful of high scores so it clearly isn't just rotation. That being said, out of 339 maps, I'm in the top 10 on 69 of them (multiple times on a lot) and the #1 spot on 12, just referencing commonly known names and not random one off aliases. Nice little ego boost.

In alpha's defense, he is definitely on the lists there. He is #1 on a single map "dm1sol" with 442 fph. Looks like it isn't a popular map though with the fph being so low. He's lower ranked on several other maps with a similar fph.

Not trying to be some chest-beating TDM douchebag, but in all honesty, from what little I've seen of you, you aren't a very formidable opponent at this game.

I will absolutely be a chest-beating TDM douchebag. Beav is fucking terrible at the game. TDM/Duel he is well below average. Even just instagib, which is what he focused on for years, he falls extremely short losing to me 124/45 on 2box4 in a 10m game (twice in a row) when I was largely inactive and haven't really played a lot of instagib for years.

===

Anyway all this drama is pretty funny considering its over a second rate clan with almost no good players (Jimmy/nitro being the exception IMO) that doesn't do anything. I always saw KEA is just a noob tag and could instantly write off anyone who tagged up with it. That basically hasn't changed in the past 10 years.

Also, because it is funny and adds fuel to the fire: I think zether has better combat skills than beav with the little bit I shot around with him on a tdm server one night.

I posted demos like you asked. You can stop being obsessed with me at any point. At least I got some enjoyment out of it rewatching that dm1 game where you voted more time because you were losing and you just lost harder lol

If you want me to post a recent demo then play me now so I don't have to go dig for it. Otherwise stop harassing me with your bullshit and seek professional help for your mental illness.

How stupid do you think everyone here is? I quoted all the lies you told 3x, and you posted demos that are already on this forum that have nothing to do with the lies you told. Additionally, the demos you posted corroborate EXACTLY what I said your only wins are. I found 13 wins just glancing in my demos folder where you get smashed in the majority of them bad WITHOUT using grep like you did. That's far from my only wins.

"I think you've managed to wander onto the servers once, maybe twice in the past 4 years or so. Made you ragequit both times, on my worst map and the only one you'll play.
Score line somewhere north of 20 frags in my favor"

It's obvious you've been playing scrubs that are aliased and you convince yourself that it was me because you're that delusional. Pathetic.

The only dummies you manage to convince are dudes like beaver in that circus of a discord channel  :busted:

Modified your post and included a different set of links. How am I supposed to react to you trying to get a reaction out of me if you keep making edits?

Air rocket on ztn, standard but still awesome to see every time it happens.

Rail up to chain on aero, really tight angle compared to QL so it looks a bit cooler in Q2. Good angle either way, results in a cool frag. Kind of the same time window as you get railing some one going down lift ramp on dm1.

Love the nade kill on aero. Definitely one of those situations you don't really account for when pushing a fresh spawn with hitscan.

The nades on ztn... Yeah that was just a lack of respect obviously lol like "ah just nade spam, these won't connect" then managing to trip on every one of them. Hate when that happens.

All demos you already posted when you used grep last time. 1 pt victories and/or when I was on unplayable ping drunk AF, opposed to the 13 demos I posted of you getting wrecked. Also, none of these are me rage quitting while losing by 20. None are losing by more than 1pt. None of these corroborate your lies here:

All of these are lies(wasn't present for first handful, i got them from the chat history):

"@ex  why yes, haunted did play me in my first year to the game. I also was destroying him on dm1 consistently upwards of 20 frags by the time he gave up playing :smile:

100% falsehoods. You already got called out for all the other lies, seen here, so we don't have to rehash your old lies:

Where's the demos/screenshots of you making me rage quit and beating me by 20+ in the past 4 years? Where's the demos/screenshots of you beating me in 2014 when you were clearly scared shitless to play me?

You lied. Then all you did was post shit you already posted.  :lolsign:

I posted demos like you asked. You can stop being obsessed with me at any point. At least I got some enjoyment out of it rewatching that dm1 game where you voted more time because you were losing and you just lost harder lol

https://youtu.be/t9C7oQnBfyg

pretty much sums up my aim reckless routing from back then :D

First nade is pretty awesome

second rocket was pretty standard imo, but looked good so nice inclusion

The grenades vs rockets fight is totally just a failure on my part. Had to put a lot of time into practicing my aim since back then because its such a weakness in my game. Kind of have it fixed, but still an issue some days depending on the level of opponent I'm playing (in QL more than Q2 where Q2 can compensate with lots of positioning).

The chain grenade spawn frags were pretty well placed though, nice to watch

Defend this. http://q2scene.net/nadl/index.php?op=descr&id=71406    :raincloud:

I'm not even talking shit on you adren. I included the demo cause it was funny and I stumbled on it by chance in the sea of demos after you posted here. You were a little better than me the whole time you played, and a completely different case than most of the clowns on this forum that talk shit. I got better after you stopped playing, so it would be cool to sit down and play like 10 or 20 games now and see how it shakes out (also very fun, cause playing quake is fun which some how nobody around here can seem to remember).

Going from THAT in 2013 to the 2014 ztn game I posted though, definitely made some improvements just during that timeframe that you'd be an idiot to ignore. I think I got pretty close before you stopped playing. Good upward trend with a few break points through the years.

Decided to screw around a little with my demo files since haunted is going to continue to harass me until I post something. His obsession with the game he doesn't play and will never play again (because I raped him off of it) is very unhealthy. His obsession with me in particular crosses the line from unhealthy to also be really creepy.

Since Haunted thinks 2012 is the only year that exists, I have included 4 games beating him (2 on dm1, and 2 on ztn) from 2012 when I was no where near the level I achieved over the next 2 years, let alone comparable to me post 2016. No 20 frag spreads in these like what happened later as I continued getting better, but haunted did talk tons of shit in the middle of one and was losing so hard he voted more time into the game then he STILL lost haha funny shit.

Also since adren popped in, included a demo for him :) Think this is from 2014 when adren was pretty peak.

Watching these in high timescale it is so painfully obvious how different of a player I am now. Even ignoring all the decisions I would make differently now that would result in more kills and less deaths, just the movement and aim is so different and ten steps lower than what I can deliver now even if i take a long break and develop rust.

Vae, you're clearly obsessed with haunted. It's quite comical at this point. You bring him up constantly in q2 games and discord chats when he isn't around. That doesn't seem "normal or healthy".

 :jumpy:

I'd point you to read my previous statement that I forget haunted exists until some one brings him up, and then you can read the chat log that haunted so helpfully included here multiple times where he was brought up by other people and I'd make a joke about how much he sucks at quake or something because all haunted is good for is being the butt of a joke. Haunted isn't even a quake2 player, he doesn't come up in conversation unless some old schooler is listing off players that they haven't seen or some one is browsing old archived shit (nadl post some one found is the cause of this latest tantrum from haunted).

Unfortunately expecting you to read the evidence posted by haunted himself is too much. You are as brain damaged as he is.

All he has to do is post the recent demos he lied about. Me rage quitting and losing by 20+ multiple times. The other lies have already been debunked, but like I said any old wins he had were by 1 pt and when I had a 90 to 200ms constantly changing ping that was unplayable. Again, he doesn't have to dig from 8-10 years ago. 6-7 years ago in 2013-14 everyone knows that vae couldn't touch me then either so pointless. Back up your recently told lies vae.

He pulled up the grep excuse last time, too

ipa is also a difficult string to search for...

grep -E '\bipa\b' *.dm2


problem solved?

:smiley_abeb: :smiley_aawl:

Again, post the demos of you making me rage quit and losing by 20 in the past 4 years. You repeatedly said you have the demos.

Me embarrassing you by calling you out on your lies isn't harassment. 90% of chat logs is you typing novels about me killing myself and being mentally disabled.  :lolsign:

Already tried grepping my 40g of quake folders on just .dm2 files and resulted in several hundred games that you were present in some way with one of your few known aliases (spec, on team, joined/left, etc.), all of which are in archived folders and would require to be manually moved and watched to see if it was a team game or duel or whatever as almost every demo I have is a generic timestamp.

You aren't worth the time it would require to go through all that by hand. I spent 15 minutes on it and decided it was a waste of my time to spend any more. No one who ACTUALLY plays believes all the lies you spread about me. I offered to play you now, and the people in that discord you decided to bother with your mentally deranged antics even tried to get you to reinstall q2 and schedule a grudge match. I even said I'd go out of my way to find some one to stream it if you really wanted.

What would it matter if I prove that I was better than him however many years ago we last played? I know its true and just dislike how much he lies about me on these forums to everyone who doesn't know any better.

I think we need Slick Lawyer to give his expert opinion on this.

In the court of Tastyspleen
Hearsay is not evidence  :dohdohdoh: and without any factual evidence your claims are dismissed.  :evilgrin:

I offered to play him and he said he had no interest in playing a dead game. So he wants to sit here and lie about me while claiming I lie about him, but I am the only one who will actually play so it would be way easier if he just never mentioned me again. He is weirdly obsessed with me and has been harassing me for days because I hurt his poor little feelings by calling him bad at a video game that he doesn't even play and has stated he never will play again.

Since I was one of the players who destroyed him in duel a lot before he left permanently, I'll just take credit for raping haunted off quake2 for good. Letting me realize that connection is the only value this thread has provided.

Haunted is harassing me over a game he hasn't played in 7 years (his own timeframe) and has stated he won't play again. He is spending time joining a discord and making forum threads on a forum for quake2, when he hasn't played the game in a really significant amount of time. He has not stopped lying about me for YEARS and he only links shit from like 2012 when he wants to say hes proving a point, when I had only played q2 for a couple of years at that point.

He needs to be fucking institutionalized and I have zero idea why anyone would look at his behavior and think it is anywhere near normal and healthy. It is the direct equivalent of some old fuck who can't stop bringing up that he played football in highschool, but hasn't played since, and shit talking people who have actively continued to play football for the past 10 years for fun.

This kind of behavior is why when haunted is ever rarely brought up, because some people like to just talk about old players from way back, he is always made fun of regardless of if I chime in or not because everyone thinks hes a fucking joke.

I'll even go out of my way to be nice and promise haunted I'll stop making fun of him (which honestly he deserves to be made fun of when he acts like this) if he will just stop harassing me and spreading lies about me. Twice in just this month that he has decided to stir up drama with me, IN A VIDEO GAME HE HASN'T PLAYED IN YEARS.

Who in tastyspleen history has ever had a treasure trove of demos of them owning their arch nemesis and never posts them? LMAO

Arch nemesis? Nah more like:

I'm not even going to begin wasting my time to find demos of beating a player who I don't even think is that good.

If some one gonna come out and say I'm incapable of taking games off naymlis or something then sure, I'll pull demos cause naymlis is good and beating him is actually an accomplishment. Beating haunted is just taking out the trash.

I have posted demos of me beating players 10x better than haunted. I've beat players 10x better than haunted in the last month (multiple times in a row) that I can post demos of that would be easier to find. I don't even know what I would gain from lying about how badly I rape haunted. Thats like bragging about winning a high jump contest against a dude in a wheelchair.

What would it matter if I prove that I was better than him however many years ago we last played? I know its true and just dislike how much he lies about me on these forums to everyone who doesn't know any better. No one who plays now gives a flying fuck about how good haunted was at any point in time and he will still be the butt of jokes some times because hes a fuckin retard who sits on the forums and shit talks active players about games happened 9 years ago while ignoring ones that happened 8 or 7 years ago.

My first experience with haunted and his retarded arrogance was him continuing calling slugs a bad player. Then haunted got active in q2 for a few months and slugs DEMOLISHED him. Hes been pulling this stupid shit since I showed up. He talks shit on players better than him on the forums then doesn't play cause hes a gaping pussy. It just becomes more abnormal and unhealthy the longer it goes on because hes literally focusing so hard on a video game he hasn't played in 7 years and feels like he needs to lie to save face on forums for a game he has stated he has no interest in playing ever again.

Even if he beat me 9 years ago when I had played quake for a whole two years, I could give him 6 months of prep right now and he wouldn't touch me. He is so far disconnected from active players that he has zero idea that time doesn't stand still and players improve over time.

The whole point I was making is that I basically raped him off quake cause I started beating him into the ground on my worst map and only map he would play (q2dm1) and he quit playing entirely and now refuses to ever play again. Not sure if I have the demos readily available to find within a minimal amount of searching but if I get bored I'll go dig them up. Don't hold your breath, I did point out that my quake folder is 40 gigs. Not really wanting to waste my time on this honestly because they are only timestamped and shit like "ipa" isn't exactly searchable being such a short string.

$ find ./*/opentdm/*demos*/ -name \*.dm2 | wc -l
4814

I'd drop it and just leave haunted alone because it makes me feel bad to be rude to some one so clearly sick in the head, but he hasn't stopped harassing me for two days now. Even joined the discord we use to organize tdm games right now without any intention of playing and annoyed everyone in there by his persistent mental illness only causing drama when we just want to play quake. I just want him to fuck off, but he loves having me in his mouth too god damn much.

All ya gotta do is search for "haunted" in your #haunted-bad-channel and stuff comes up.

.B100D01/03/2021
originally i came back just to see if Haunted, Adren, and naymlis were still playing :slight_smile:

.B100D01/03/2021
Very hard to get on q2 and not play again lol.

LiOntRk01/03/2021
What is your ping like?

.B100D01/03/2021
like 95

kyuSs01/03/2021
haunted? why so you can track him down n bully him irl? lmao

bak2basiks01/03/2021
Naymlis yes, rarely. Adrenaline was active in like 2015, has been playing QC or something I think because hes not in diabotical or quakelive either which is odd for him. Haunted hasn't played in like a decade and still talks shit on the forums.

--

I'm aware that I push your buttons kid and I don't get any enjoyment from it. All ya gotta do is keep your trap shut and don't lie to people then you wouldn't see this thread. You're only fooling yourself.

Oh hey, some one else brought you up and I answered the question by pointing out all you do is sit on the forums and talk shit. As much as I love being proven right, you really should try to maybe prove me wrong if you don't want me saying stuff like that.

The q2 tdm scene has sunk to record lows, and that's saying something. I'm done with that circus of a channel. It's literally "HAUNTED BAD" instead of "ORANGE MAN BAD" in there  :lolsign:

Why would you join a discord channel specifically made for organizing tdm/duel games and talking about tdm/duel? You don't play quake2 and obviously have no interest in playing quake2.

You are gonna go on about people being obsessed with you, but the only reason you were even mentioned before you joined was because some one linked to some bad (ie unfunny) jokes you made about me and kyuss ages ago and I had to provide context that you are the guy who sits on the forums of a game you haven't played in YEARS and still obsessively talks shit on active players. Clearly you need professional help.

All you have done since you joined is stir up drama when everyone in that channel just wants to play quake and doesn't care for your bullshit. The only backup you had in that channel was from another player who doesn't play tdm/duel and has also only caused drama since they showed up, but at least that person plays ra2 and ctf.

Even the more civil players in that channel got tired of your shit and asked you to man up and play if you wanted to keep talking shit because the channel exists to get games going. Do you actively hate quake2 so much that your mental illness is forcing you to stop other people being able to play?

Nobody wants you around because you don't contribute ANYTHING.

Vae,

Your skill level may be as good as you say it is and that is fine  :bananaw00t:

But if you make claims about all of these wins and say you have the demos to back it up :?:

I think the saying goes "Demo or STFU"

My quake folder on my computer is 40G. That has at least 6 different installs of quake2. Haunted played under so many dumb names over the years as well with some of them being 3 letter strings (horrible for grep).

I'm not even going to begin wasting my time to find demos of beating a player who I don't even think is that good. The people who need that proof because they just have no idea are people who either don't play quake at all, or don't play tdm/duel and why would I care about their opinion?

I started playing q2 in 2010. I didn't start getting to the point I could beat good players until like 2013. I continued to get better for years after that and in 2017 when naymlis was last active I was beating him consistently on some maps and giving him 1 point games on maps I didn't really care of. To be clear, I think naymlis is still overall a better duel player than me, but thats the level I reached. I had a total mental shift about how to duel around 2016 and 2017 and spent a great amount of time in quakelive playing against top players (and getting wins) which I then pulled back into Q2.

If haunted is going to sit here and say he was better than me in 2012, probably safe assumption. If he is going to say he was better than me in 2014, I don't think so but maybe an argument could be made (if the person arguing that is retarded). Past 4 years? Not a chance. I offered to play him and beav even tried setting up a scheduled grudge match kind of thing for fun. Haunted isn't a quake2 player and has no interest in reality.

Again, nothing about haunted's behavior is normal or healthy. He is acting like a 40 year old man stuck in high school. He admits he hasn't played in something like 7 years and he still not only frequents these forums, but shit talks active players. 7 years is longer to not play a game than most people will ever play a single game. 7 years is long enough to go get a masters degree from scratch. You can have a kid and they would be in grade school after 7 years. Most of the people who still post on these forums ACTUALLY play once in awhile or have some involvement such as modding/mapping, and that is why they are here. His behavior is so far from normal and healthy that I am legitimately concerned about his mental health, but everyone seems to refuse to listen to that so I'll just sit back and enjoy the fireworks.

EDIT: Out of "demos or stfu", I'll choose the "stfu" option cause I don't care to shit talk some one with clear indicators of mental illness who may do something irrational if proven wrong. I both do not want blood on my hands, and am too fuckin lazy to dig through 40g of files with grep until I find what I'm looking for. I think haunted should also stfu because he posts obvious lies about me on here all the fuckin time for people who aren't part of the duel community, because everyone who has played duel in the last 5-7 years knows hes full of shit. He should probably stop frequenting the quake2 community hubs, learn to move on, and seek therapy. He won't get brought up again because he isn't even note worthy outside of how much drama he insists on causing for people who just want to enjoy the game.

EDIT2: second edit just cause I forgot to add this tidbit but I feel it is very relevant to point out the absurdity of this circus. If haunted hasn't played in 7 years, I have almost twice as many years of demos and screenshots AFTER he quit playing than when we played at the same time.
