02:11.38KaadmYwoot! look where i spawned on urban jungle! https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/UKTDZiDH/my_uj_spawn.png
02:12.21blast007now you just need a GM
02:13.23KaadmYyeah...
02:13.27KaadmYthat would have been perfect
02:13.46KaadmYbefore i've also spawned inside of geno shots on apoc
02:13.53KaadmYthen my team blames me for geno baiting
02:13.59KaadmYaround then i usually rage quit
02:45.54echelonKaadmY: nice
02:46.16echeloni dunno why they made it impossible to jump on there without wg
02:47.04KaadmYmaybe possible with V or A
02:47.09KaadmYor TH
02:47.41echelongood luck getting on the ledge with v/a/th
02:47.56KaadmYcould still try :)
02:48.10KaadmYand it's likely *possible* via the bouncepad at the village
02:48.29echelonheh

16:29.06the_mapI was confirming that
16:30.33KaadmY:P
16:30.48Flak18huh?
16:31.12blast007KaadmY: did you know that you can get up there with the village bounce pad?
16:32.25KaadmYblast007: never checked, but i figured it would be possible
16:33.20KaadmYyup
16:33.24KaadmYV flag easily works
16:33.33KaadmYyou can go about 2x as far easily
16:34.13Flak18oh
16:34.39KaadmYyup
16:34.46KaadmYyou can drive straight on it without flags
16:34.50KaadmYjoin UJ if you want to see
16:37.35the_mapwell, UJ suddenly got popular
16:38.22KaadmYyup :P
16:40.23JeffMare there ever servers that run the same map?
16:40.57KaadmYnooe
16:40.59KaadmYnope*
16:40.59JeffMI find it interesting that everyone mostly refers to the actual game server by map name, with the assumption that it's unique.
16:41.11JeffMthat's good knowledge for our replacement
16:41.26JeffMserver system is somewhat designed around that idea
16:41.33blast007JeffM: there are the same maps on some servers, just maybe not that one
16:41.42JeffMhow common is it?
16:41.47JeffMjust thinking about our game node idea
16:41.54blast007depends, leagues do it often
16:41.59JeffMok sure
16:42.02JeffMthat makese sense
16:42.03blast007otherwise not so much
16:42.10JeffMok
16:42.27JeffMthen our spin up a node system will probalby work out out well
16:42.31the_mapJeffM: load the server list, and search for allejo.io
16:42.57the_map<PROTECTED>
16:43.01JeffMsure
16:43.08JeffMand to me that is a problem
16:43.12JeffMyou end up with clutter
16:43.19JeffMspin them up on request :)
16:43.40the_map<PROTECTED>
16:44.32JeffMsure, but how often do you refere to that server just as BadgerKing?
16:44.45blast007that is how you refer to it
16:44.48JeffMbecause there are no others
16:44.51JeffMyeah
16:45.12JeffMthat's my observaton, there is mostly an assumed 1-1 relationship between map and bzfs instance
16:45.24JeffMleagues nonwithstanding
17:39.03JeffMthe_map: how would you feel about a system where there were only a small number of games listed (as in the ones that had people), but if you wanted to play on a specific map you just use an in game inteface and that map pops up for you with the settings you wanted?
17:42.38JeffMand it plays this song while you set it up, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NxrQipUkwg
17:43.23KaadmYshies away from the linbk
17:43.25KaadmYlink*
17:43.36JeffMit is not a rickroll
17:43.38KaadmYfrom the URL it's not an exact rickroll :]
17:43.50JeffMIron Man OST, Mark II
17:43.51allejojeff, isn't copyright infringement a thing? :p
17:44.07JeffMnaw, we'll play our own crappy version :)
17:44.16JeffMsomeone has garage band right?
17:44.35allejoraises his hand!
17:45.02JeffMthats just the music that plays in my head when I think of "building a thing"
17:45.14JeffMor "Setting up something techincal"
17:45.59JeffMhave it play "all I do is win" when you cap a falg
17:46.09allejoat least with bz, i think the map change isn't too commonly used so it'd have to be more common to be useful so players know about it
17:46.10the_mapy'all know you can probably get plugins for IRC that tell you the title of a page when the URL is given, right?
17:46.23JeffMmy client shows a preview of all links
17:46.29JeffMand never disconnects :)
17:46.49allejoI just blindly click links
17:46.55allejoit's more fun that way
17:46.58the_mapmwahahahaha
17:47.08JeffMthat's how you get ants... do you want ants?
17:47.17the_mapallejo: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
17:47.31allejoants in the pants? like the game?
17:47.38allejobecause i loved that game as a kid
17:47.47JeffMhttps://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/MQQM98hR/Capture.PNG
17:48.01JeffMyou can't fool me
17:48.04KaadmYi actually disabled page previews
17:48.14allejolol
17:48.46the_mapJeffM: your login creds were in that picture :P
17:49.12JeffMnope
17:49.18the_mapdid you check it?
17:49.21JeffMyep
17:49.25the_mapso I *can* fool you :P
17:49.33JeffMI Checkjed before I sent it
17:49.38JeffMthat's why it's a subset of my screen
17:49.39KaadmYjeffm25016 or something?
17:49.45JeffMthe other 2 displays have things you can not see
17:50.04KaadmYie. more of rick astley's songs?
17:50.10JeffMoh that's just the frirst part of my email
17:50.20JeffMI have never hiden that
17:50.32KaadmYlets see how fast i can get your email address
17:50.38the_mapanyway... this is what goes through my mind a lot, like when two people are approaching a door from opposite side https://youtu.be/NFlzwJAfPoU
17:50.45JeffMI think it's in my bzbb profile... so not that hard
17:50.58KaadmYah
17:51.04KaadmYi hide my email whenever possible :)
17:51.07JeffMbut seriously, on the idea of spining up maps instead of leaving them running on a million and one servers?
17:51.16KaadmYbecause nobody has an option to have 2 emails, one for contact and one for the forum
17:52.23KaadmYJeffM: your bzflag forums account doesn't show your email
17:52.39JeffMahh I must have turned it off
17:52.43JeffMI've left it on before
17:52.46JeffMa bunch of people know it
17:52.49KaadmYaww invertedpolarity.com isn't up anymore
17:52.58JeffMyeah I let that die
17:53.18KaadmYexpiration was may 24 :(
17:53.25JeffMI got another one
17:53.44JeffMI don't have much need for wobsites these days, mostly just for testing things
17:53.50JeffMwho needs a blag these days?
17:53.54KaadmYheh blag
17:53.59KaadmYwhat xkcd uses
17:54.31Flak18KaadmY the idea of emails showing on the forums is not so good
17:54.51KaadmYFlak18: yeah
17:54.55KaadmYi disable it if i can
17:55.03Flak18unless it's possible to choose which people you would like to see it
17:55.03the_mapFlak18: he just said he hides his email whenever possible
17:55.15Flak18hey
17:55.21JeffMI had it public when I was an admin
17:55.40Flak18Flak's inbox crashes with email spam
17:55.49Flak18:P
17:56.14Flak18it would be good
17:56.22KaadmYJeffM: hmm, rocketjump and scott manley? :)
17:56.33JeffMthey are good channels
17:56.51KaadmYi check out rocket jump every once in a while :)
17:57.02KaadmYcorridor digital is good too
17:57.12KaadmYalthough they're mostly the same people :P
17:59.10JeffMI like the behind the scenes stuff.
18:00.26JeffMI love how everyone ignored the actual question I asked, and focused on the childish thigns. No wonder bzflag is dead.
18:01.12allejoi gave you an answer a while back :p
18:01.49JeffMyeah because you've been actually active in the new design :)
18:11.36*** join/#bzflag Void7 (~NULL@205.157.147.198)
18:13.09JeffMbut you are a major hoster, so your input is welcome
18:13.28JeffMdid you see the diagram allejo ?
18:17.54allejoyea
18:21.25*** join/#bzflag Void7 (~NULL@205.157.147.198)
18:27.22the_mapJeffM: I don't really have any good input on that
18:27.38the_mapI just use filters to show active maps, or search for the one I want otherwise
18:28.14JeffMbut it's the map you look for
18:28.23JeffMnot a game with friends or specific people?
18:28.33the_mapwhat?
18:28.37JeffMthis is what we calls "market research"
18:29.13JeffMwhen you want to play the bzflag, you start by saying "I want to play on map XYZ", not "I want to find friends A, B, and C and play what they are playing"
18:29.45the_mapthat's usually true
18:30.00the_mapof course, the same set of people are usually on a given map
18:30.44JeffMwhat if that last part was not true? what would be more important to you?
18:31.29the_mapfriends
18:32.06the_mapit's a balance though
18:32.39the_mapI'm the non-league servers besides apoc a lot, because they're fun and don't have the same crowd/rules as apoc
18:33.29the_mapI don't usually go the league servers even though I like the people there because of my skill level (none) and because they're usually there for matches
18:44.42JeffMSo a friends list would be important to you?
18:49.55*** join/#bzflag Void7 (~NULL@205.157.147.198)
18:56.55the_maptbh, if I can already tell who's going to be where before I join because I know who plays where, then the list would be redundant

20:07.15the_mapso does the server list, effectively
20:09.20JeffMonly because bzflag's player base is so small right now
20:15.23echelonso what's wrong with auth/list servers?
20:15.33echelonyou guys need hosting?

20:26.03the_mapwoah, you banned kierra? you're in serious trouble now
20:26.05the_map:P
20:26.17echeloni ban her from all my servers
20:26.34kierraI'm really a bad tank
20:26.39the_mapKaadmY: nice sound effect
20:26.43KaadmYthe_map: :P
20:26.50KaadmYgot it from quickshot :P
20:26.58the_mapI should set it as my ringtone
20:27.02KaadmYsounded neat, remade it in audacity :P
20:27.13KaadmYmerges a loop of that sound with the nyan cat theme
20:28.09blast007KaadmY: I made a 10 hour loop of "everything is awesome"
