I miss the shout box  :(

The best part of the shoutbox was that stuff got deleted after a week or so.  So if we get leaked like XT the drama would be much lower.

Also: http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=61836 (http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=61836) becomes the award: "the most irrelevant but yet angry discussed thread in the cc forum of the month february."

So, I dug around the inner corners of my Hard Drive at work and found a folder marked Allegiance?
It was filled with stuff I downloaded at the office before I had internet at home around 2001-2002. Mostly crap, but also an archive of "New" maps from 2002. I compared it to TheBored Comprehensive list http://pk.dras.us/users/TheBored/Maps.html (http://pk.dras.us/users/TheBored/Maps.html)and some of them where not on his list, perhaps with a good cause, I don't know.
There are maps like Enima, TPSupa by Tpaganj, EVE by NoodleNT, Belt and Quack by WasFired etc.
Does anyone think I should pass these on, or should I just let dust continue to settle on them until I need the disk space for something else?

Fixed. Many players reach 5, sometimes 6 without learning anything just by consecutively joining winning teams, or being booted. Many players don't get booted for quite a while, they don't know enough to get in a situation where they can do something stupid, instead they just fly scouts randomly and stumble across enemy stuff by mistake.

I'd reverse that statement.

Well I have been playing for three nights in a row for the first time since my son was born, and that is almost a year ago. You will get back LANS, eventually. See you next SG


Not that 3 wins and one loss has made any real impact on my rank though (at least two of the wins were TAGged).

Today's record in the only game I played today, was flying for Nightstream (expansion) vs Spideycw (expansion):

3 miner kills (one solo with 2 ints defending, two leading the charge).
Two base captures with HTT
One base kill with galvs (got a sup for late-game power - hull upgrades mostly, later galvs to clear the map)
About 3-4 miner saves with a nan scout.
4 sectors probed with EWS3.
about twice as man kills as ejects, and about as many assists as kills.


Maybe not the best I've ever flown, but probably my best game stats-wise.

Post by: Zruty on March 11, 2011, 09:53:53 AM
xc3 is a fine core, although I dislike the absence of treasures, as this seems quite a nerf for Belters and Bios.

That said, cc11 is also a fine core (although I dislike the over-poweredness of interceptors).

The only bad thing I see is that people need to memorize two sets of obscure rules instead of one.

IMHO, people should stick to flying whatever core they are given and learn to do it well, instead of whining.

Leaving the FAO forums never to return was the best decision in Allegiance I've ever done.

Slash hull and price by 10 (there will always be a tower CON on the move  :D )
Replacing gun's with Gatling guns to reduce damage somewhat and also encourage people buying SUP's.

Regarding Area of effect weapons in allegiance:

How does AoE work in allegiance? If a weapon with AoE damage hits directly, does it deal both direct and AoE? How far can a shot miss and still cause AoE damage, or is this variable in the core? Is there a damage reduction as the Aoe shot gets farther from the target, or does it deal full damage all the way to the edge of it's AoE bubble?

Was such an event expected? It seemed like a huge number of police to have waiting at the side of the field for the end of the game.

Maybe I missed part of it not understanding the announcers - it looked like fans ran onto the field after the game, threw some flares, were chased off the field by a ton of police, and some were arrested for it?

That what we used to say when I was active in the scout movement. Appropriate clothing for a blizzard is a house with central heating by the way  :lol:
When being covered in a snow drift a shovel can be quite useful, creating a smell "den" for yourself to hide in. Be sure to try and create a "breathing hole" though  :wink:
Anyway, I hope spring will settle the score next week.

That was the most lame excuse I have seen for watching the European Football Championship I have ever read  :wink:
Good with beer (I don't get to drink that much these days) but why spoil it with a mouse?  :lol:

Sorry about my inactivity in these weeks.  It is not only the mouse. I am also too busy smuggling carpets out of afghanistan.

Stuff like this is why I miss playing alleg with you guys. Then I was bored so I skimmed the alleg.net forums and remembered why I left.


There are days I'm bored and miss this game, but not enough to ever pick it up and play again. Maybe I would if the community-based problems were solved-ish, not even the negativity but the no-players-online and no-commanders-available. Thinking back though, other then when I was a complete newbie, I would probably estimate that I actually enjoyed about 1/4 of the PUGs I played. The last game I played was a ton of fun, and I remember leading most of the major offensive charges and winning the game with a just-in-time devastator. I don't want to come back only to play a series of games that are piles of shit.


In other news, life is generally decent. Same stuff at school, I'm spending the summer working at a sailboat repair shop. We do stuff like this:
(http://www.gylessails.com/images/stories/services.png)
Its a decent job. A lot of it is dealing with customers and paperwork though.  :pc: :upps:


I'm not sure what else to say - I wish there was a decent alleg to come back to if I wanted to play, and I feel bad for you guys who work so hard to keep it alive, but its not something I intend to open up again. On that note, I've (not on purpose, it just sorta happened) stopped playing video games completely over the past few months. Its not so bad and when it comes down to it, I'd rather spend my time reading a good book or hanging out with friends IRL. Half the reason or more (I realize now) I played alleg was the friends I had with GB, but I don't need alleg for that.


Edit: This girl I work with is convinced that the zombie apocalypse is upon us, mainly because of this:

That's about the most entertaining thing that's happened to me in a month or two. I've been fairly boring.

Drooooooling as i Look at the renovated sail boat hull. It almost looks like a Neptune cruiser which I fortunately was a few hours to late to save from being set to fire by it's owner.
Well I don't play much allegiance myself these days, but stau tuned, in a year or five the urge will come back, it always will!

As for your GF, she should get one of these http://www.cagliostro.se/de-animation-3334111 (http://www.cagliostro.se/de-animation-3334111). My friend makes them =)

Stay in touch!

Some drug... I forgot the name... deactivates temporary much of your brain such that you solely rely on animal instincts.

Also like any other drug including beer it makes you damn hungry.

The boat in that picutre is Raven, an 8mR class (not actually 8 metres long). She's been travelling around lately - she won the world championship for her class in 2010, and is now racing in Germany.

How is it fortunate you were too late to prevent it catching fire? or was it insurance fraud?

Those are what's been in the news lately with the zombie-like stuff.

@skutch: not my GF, just someone I work with. I may point her towards those anyways.
We have a Dragon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_(keelboat) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_(keelboat))) in the shop now. Boats like that are certainly nice to work on, even if I don't get to race them.

Edit: I'm so bad at using url tags.

I am am currently Reading Metro 2033 and I think that Zombie stuff is only half as scary as what is described in the book (I recommend it for reading, but not after dark...).

Nice, a Dragon class boat, which was actually what I was looking at, not a Neptune cruiser, which is of similar size and build. My memory is failing again.
Well, this boat had been badly handled for years and spent the last 10 years on shore with poor coverage. I got friend drive me to it to take look at it (I had no drivers license back then) and with a knife I probed the wood works.
There where many cases of bad rot on the keel but the hull itself seemed more or less ok, no evidence of rot through any of the planks though all varnish was flaking and there was superficial rot on say 50%.
The Deck was more or less rotted away, also parts of the "cabin". The fastening points for the wires holding the mast in place where badly eaten away by rot (wood) and rust (iron fastenings).
The boat was torched since the neighbours had been complaining some years of all the scrap on this persons yard and he finally decided to clear it out .
I would probably lost an infinite amount of time on that boat, not to talk about money. Now I spent that time sailing plastic boats instead.

Those drugs you linked to looks more harmful than good, but if you are an idiot to start with I suppose you go for the "High" without thinking of it's consequences.
I remember in school how a police officer described angel dust (PCP) which had recently surfaced in the neighbourhood where some one apparently (under intoxication) had begun to peel his skin of using a knife believing himself to be an orange.

But, as it says on the card, "You are either part of the problem or part of the solution"  :wink:

I heard on the radio some months ago that someone managed to produce a substance that would make muscles of dead tissue to contract again, that is definitely scary zombie stuff.

Catchy music, but that was way beyond my German skills.
