Who turned the password off? I set it this afternoon and when I got in at 7pm there was no password. At any rate I'm not going to be playing anymore Halo until I get the Powerline adapters so I can get off this wireless.

I dunno Igg, it wasn't on all day until Demigod or someone turned it on and booted the whole gathering Lol!

Anyways, the Gathering was fun as always. That plasma party was the wierdest game I've played in a while. Lagged so bad even my Winamp started going nuts.

*hands Kim a crowbar*
Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

demigod was the one who turned it off to begin with. But the other fact remains that he is emo.

I was there and played a while, but left because it stopped being fun.

Gotta change some of the games in the rotation:

Snipers no shields on SW just leads to unending spawn killing– nobody has shields, so you have the ability to one shot kill from the start, so whlie your enemy is taking your flag, his comrads are spawn killing your team till he's safe at home. And sometimes they comeback for seconds before you can get a shot off.

BG with no pistols BUT WITH FRGs????? I can understand no scoped weapons, ARs and Shotties are great fun, especially with 'nades, but the noob with the FRG owns that game. RLs I could live with– 2 shots with a pause between them and a long reload gives you time to kill the bugger.

In general, I find the no-shield games a bit noobish, pretty much every shot is a kill, no matter what weapon, no mater where they shoot you. If you go no shields, go 400% health.

The only reason I put snipers in ther is there are always so many requests for that gametype. I make it CTF so the teams spawn on opposite sides of the map, because Team slayer spawns are random I suppose to prevent spawn camping. I probably won't do it on Sidewinder anymore because that map lends itself to spawn-killing.

The BG CTFno sniping is meant to remove the pro players "crutch", the pistol, and force them to use another weapon. Unfortunately, they tend to replace one crutch with another, the heavy. I would think if they were pros they would welcome the challenge of killing someone with an A/R which takes more "skill" then the pistol. I will remove this gametype.

Lastly I do not agree that no-shields games take no skill and i'm a little tired of hearing no shield=no skill. The skill is using the terrain and obsticles to stay alive while firing at the correct range to kill your opponent with one shot. I've learned that when you are charging an enemy, stop take a step back so when he fires you lose two bars; then take a step forward fire and he crumples in the dirt. Or in Longest you see an enemy step behind a column, waiting for him to get closer or fire, pop out fire and move on to the next one. Yes a lot of times you will round a corner and get a face full of buckshot or get taken down from behind but that can happen in other gametypes as well.

If a no-shield game takes no skill then all of us should challenge Faux-x, Martyr or Nessy to no-shield 1v1's and the scores won't be so lop-sided and we should win some of the time. Right?

Dude this bull...I do not think "I am boss of the rcon" if I thought that I be a bigger pain in the ass than I am now. What transfired between you, me, and mike the other day was a misunderstanding on BOTH our parts and I already told you I don't think I'm god so take that phrase out of your vocab. Igg is the boss, not me, we all have EQUAL rights and I was just trying to simplify things. All I was suggesting is that we all agree FIRST and THEN have ONE PERSON do the rconing because having more than one person just waste time. And if we don't all agree then we will have a"well I thought you..." situation, and nobody wants that.

Once again Iggwilv is the boss, not me...He pays the money, NOT ME. So please stop throwing that bull-blam!- in my face. Please and Thank you.

And btw I turned off the password earlier...During the day(like 2 hours before the gathering) I went to play on the server and there was like 4 people so I turned off the password to get more people and I forgot to turn it back on when I left for work. When I came back that night I remembered and put it back on. Thus, ACCIDENTLY booting 9/10 the players there.

Which in my opinion just set the new record of most boots in under 2 seconds. =) (like 12 people!!!)
SRY to everyone who got booted when I put back on the password.

Btw...I AM NOT AN EMO. Don't believe what they said. It was a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding seem to be happening a lot lately...

We used to have Rcon problems with our server. Everyone had rcon and some had been abusing the priviledge. We solved it by only having a select few (3-4 people) know the rcon password. Usually the most senior members are more responsible when it comes to kicking/banning.

As for that unofficial three strike policy, we used to use that as well. but it didn't always work out. We now use a one warning then boot policy. If they come back, then tell them why they were booted, and warn them that next time they'll be banned. That usually shuts them up.

And what's wrong with being emo I ask? Not that I'm emo, I'm more of a black leather biker guy myself. (sorry, I just miss my motorcycle so much!)

OK well I would prefer if the server was left alone prior to the Gatherings. Other nights feel free to setup how you like as long as you return it to the way you found it when you arrived.

Ok...you know what....I don't want bad blood mainly because we are in the same clan and we have to work together. I don't want there to be a distance between us.

I'll will agree to drop this and never speak of it again if you will.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Had a great time killing fools left and right. :) Best was hitting Mr. IGN with a rocket from longish range, then having him say, "you done nubbing yet frnks?" Priceless...it was a great shot and I know he loved it. Lots of familiar faces...then the server crashed during a plasma and nade fest on Chill Out. I think either Matt or Jester said something like "I'm getting 1.2 fps." Hilarious! I myself was dropping into the 30s, which is ridiculously low fps for my setup.

I agree that no-shields takes skills. The problem I have is spawning into a 'nade, hw, tank-fire shower while the enemy dances around you unhurt because FF is off. Turn FF on and put in long TK penalties– then they'll have to use skill to kill you without TKing each other.

If you can just remove the FRG from the BG no sniper it would be a nice change of pace.

I know people like snipers, I'm one of them, but I thought there was a preference for sniper WITH shields, but you are the one getting the requests.

One of the best Halo games I ever played was Team Slayer, Sniper weapons, With Shields, on Danger Canyon– no vehicles if I recall.
