No rockets? 

[Whirlingdervish]

 

[Daemia]

Rockets & Rails ...  that sounds like a pretty good idea actually

  I can't believe I just said Jagermonsta had a good idea    

[RailWolf]

anyone else want rockets added ?  :p

[splisskin]

I tried to join, but was unable to dl map.  The server must have a different version or something.  I deleted mine and still couldn't get in.   

[RailWolf]

I fixed that. sorry for the problem. I was surprised that noone but drifter had that map in their baseq2 or tourney folder...

Not a huge turnout, and I was sicker than a dog all weekend, but the first game of the Insta500 series was a success!
We learned a bit about the server too

here's the tentative stats page:

It'll be getting an overhaul as time permits, so we can update it more easily, and possibly include a bit more info.

so who the fuck is the jokey alias?

[RailWolf]

That would be Muhammed 'im hard' Bruce Lee. He once told me about the end of the world or something like that....anyway

Learned that servers with good connections are apparently hard to come by ? Maybe, I'll have them change machines that the server is on, obvious server CPU lag goin on there.
I'll be working on that site more and more lately. I've recently had a fight with my ISP who's been providing me some really crap service the last week or so, dropping many packets at the 2nd hop, pinging anywhere from 70-250 from the third hop, and now has escalated into a DNS problem. ugh....
Nice work by dervish on making that snazzy stats page to hold it for now.
