Quake / Re: Cheating issue: A Solution?

« on: October 21, 2008, 08:00:28 AM »

I liked the idea Quadz mentioned concerning TDM. Keeping 1st person demos of all players for every game. Kind of like a surveillance camera at Apu's Kwik-E-Mart. Although... sounds like a very tall order to run on ALL servers. I suspect it would consume a lot of resources.

Forcing AC on ALL players is the best strategy to prevent cheating, but that would also prevent some folks from being able to play at TS anymore. Some folks are still using their old PCs with WIN98, and I think AC is incompatible with that OS.

Nevertheless, it doesn't seem like a rampant problem to me. People who use bots are pretty easy to pick out. 7 times out of 10, if an admin doesn't catch them, someone else will. If they continue doing it, the odds they will be caught will only increase.

I've always been quite fond of symbolist Jean Delville. One of my favorites, "Satan's Treasures". A brilliant usage of color and effect for it's time. I think the band Morbid Angel used this piece as their album cover for Formula's Fatal to the Flesh.



I also love Timothy Patrick Butler. His art reminds me of some of those weird hallucinogen-inspired album covers from the 60's. Usually very symbolic and perverted.

Hope is not a strategy.

Do you suffer from Republican Smear-Slogan Regurgitation Syndrome? Ask your doctor about Fuckitol.

Fuckitol, because the democrats are here to save us all! Hallelujah!

I found some paks in RAR files named:
z5_32bitclr_eXuY_png.rar

Would this be an older or incomplete version of these textures?

Republican party out of power in hopes that it will correct the economy and lead us to a point where we can move out of Iraq for good.

 

So you're saying that I'm wrong about folks who are planning to vote democrat ARE doing it IN HOPES that it will correct the economy and get us out of Iraq? Pull your republican drawers out of your buttcrack, I wasn't bashing your precious party. I never claimed that I thought they were GOING to get what they HOPED for.

I will say that I'm confident that McCain has no chance of winning unless Obama goes on national TV tomorrow and calls for the ethnic cleansing of all jews.

The us "soldiers" (euphemysm for murderer) are committing all kinds of torture acts in iraq as we speak.

Apparently you think that droves of sadist teenagers and young men are enlisting in the United States Marine Corps because their only goal in life is to leave their families that they love and risk their lives on a daily basis just so that they can walk around the streets of Iraq shooting unarmed innocent people and punching babies in the face. Has it ever occurred to you for one second that maybe, just maybe, your sources of information are biased and corrupt? Apparently you also believe that EVERYONE in the US approves of the Abu Graib bullshit and the torture that goes on at Guantanamo Bay. No. In fact the majority of us HATE the fact that it happened. I for one would like to have those soldiers strung up by their nuts with piano wire while 10 Iraqi children beat them to death with small reeds like a pinata at a Mexican kids birthday party. Most of us in America agree that the government has overstepped it's bounds with some of the Homeland Security efforts. You sitting here blaming it all on the American people only proves that you're a slave to your source of information. If you dug a little deeper, you'd see that the vast majority of America agrees with you that we need to get the hell out of Iraq and stop policing the world like we're solely responsible for bringing about world peace. That's exactly why John McCain isn't going to win the election, because the majority of Americans want the Republican party out of power in hopes that it will correct the economy and lead us to a point where we can move out of Iraq for good.

I apologize for my comments as well. If Quadz says you're okay, that's good enough for me.

I think some of the bars are still there. Most of the smaller ones where all the craziness would happen (like Mako's) are gone now. They've imposed last call curfews on that area too, it's no longer the all-night drinking binge part of town anymore. It was fucking NUTS too. Sometimes traffic would be fucking utterly GRIDLOCKED even at 1am. You could damn near get out of your car at a red light, go into a bar and have a drink, go back to your car, and traffic STILL wouldn't have moved an inch.

They've put up a bunch of upscale high rise condos, apartments, and office buildings. Even on the Eastern edge of Buckhead by Tattletales and the old Varsity Jr., they've demolished the old shitty low income 2 and 3 story apartments to make room for shopping centers, super-expensive upscale condos FOR SALE (NOT for rent, you BUY the fuckers, 0.5 to 1million dollar condos!!!)

Atlanta used to have a decent bar district in Buckhead. They demolished it all not long ago in the name of "progress".

If you want a "bar" these days, you have to go to a titty club. Those places cut the liquor with water, charge you a 10 or 15 dollar cover, and the strippers and shooter girls hound the piss out of you. I've learned to NEVER get a table dance from the least attractive looking stripper at small titty clubs. If you pay for one, they'll try to sit beside you all god damn night and talk your ear off while talking you into buying them and their stripper friends drinks.

You can go to one of those sports bars where they serve food and most of the place is a restaurant, but it usually gets too loud with dumb assholes having retarded dinner conversations that outrank the jukebox. You can't even hear the damn game on the TV unless its the Superbowl or the World Series and they turn the stupid jukebox off. You usually have your crowd of 6 to 10 college bitches who play stupid songs on the jukebox and HAVE to singalong with it like it's karaoke night.

Then you have the out-of-the-way redneck juke joints. Those are mildly entertaining. You can go in there and see all the meth'd up rednecks doing the boot-scoot or slow dancing with their 300 pound mexican girlfriends with mustaches while grabbing their big fat ass.

If you want a "bar"... a real BAR... nothing but a small little pub where they serve beer, liquor, peanuts and pretzels, and have a game or fight on the TV... you gotta go to downtown Athens near UGA now. And it's getting to where a lot of those places are becoming foo-foo fancy bitch bars too. Places where all the college chicky-poo's come on Friday and Saturday nights with their dates "to get a few drinks", but the real reason they're there is to show off their new 200 dollar purse that they bought with their daddy's credit card or their poor pussywhipped boyfriends hard earned cash.

The moral of the story: Drink at home. Alone. It's a lot less annoying. It's cheaper. And you don't have to worry about DUI's or who's going to be the designated driver.

Ok, I'm done bitching now.

i could hit a full-sized dumpster at 30mph in reverse, leave a good sized dent in it, and drive away unscathed.

I dunno... call me crazy... but for some reason I think you've actually tested that theory.
