[TF2] Thread 10! Server back up

[Kaitostrike]

Team Fortress 2. A game. But it is more than a game. It is a feeling. Something deep within. Knowing in your heart, that immutable fact. The fact that I have more hats than you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most server discussion should be done at the Sepulch forums. Announcements, events, and such are fine, but any and all inner-workings, drama, and the like should be taken over there.

Sepulchritude has risen from the ashes. The same in concept, but something is different. You can't put a finger on it, but something tells you that it's going to take some hardcore sleuthing to crack this case. It's going to be a long night.

Rules:

Do not insult, grief, troll, discriminate, or otherwise be an ass. "Be an ass" is subject to admin interpretation, and is a ban-able offense. If you want something to happen, ask politely first and always, with no exceptions.

Do not hack, cheat, or exploit. Do not scam, shark, or otherwise trick people for the purpose of items/profit.

Respect other players. No pornographic or gorey sprays, period.

Do not use your text-binds more than once every five seconds. Do not use said text-binds if there are already three or more binds in the recent chat. Do not continuously talk over mic. Do not continually interrupt people when they are talking.

All rules are subject to admin interpretation. Always follow admin instructions. If you have a problem with a player, go to an admin. If you have a problem with an admin, come to me. If you have a problem with me, well, tough shit.

THREAAAAAAD

So how about them crits.

[Bobster]

2nd post lololol I'm so special.

So are we keeping the name Sepulchritude?

no crits
no hats
no drops
no fun

[RedMage]

Is there any existing tf2 final destination map? Because I'm in the mood for hammer.

[forkinyoureye]

In all seriousness though, it can be fun to play on no random crit servers from time to time. Completely removes the chance of a bullcrit.

Yes.

Portalboat (I know what you're thinking, huehuehue) approached me with the idea of votecrits; have it possible for a majority of people to vote them off. At the moment, it is certainly tempting.

[forkinyoureye]

Actually, that might make a good event. Crit-free Saturday? Or whatever day.

[MESIAS_ROCKET]

Now that I'm reading the admins list on the OP, what happened to Azruelli?
I've never saw him again.

[forkinyoureye]

Also, on the subject of ~ath, or Weasel Kingdom as I believe it is called now, I know Touchy's an admin there, so whoever's dealing with that might want to speak to him about it.

[Kaitostrike]

Now that I'm reading the admins list on the OP, what happened to Azruelli?
I've never saw him again.

He used to be one of our regulars (and then admin) who quit playing TF2 recently. He still posts on SepulchNet every so often.

[zeratuljo1291]

in terms of admins, the ones who go on most, if not all, of the time would be me and redmage.

i suggest that we be given unlimited power so that we may duel for each others head. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE

[FlyingFrogSlash]

Nothing quite ruins a good mood like a random crit rocket to the face. :T

[ArmsAreLoud]

Random crits are not fun.

Because the liberty launcher is not already bullshit enough!

I'm one of the few that likes random crits. The engine awards them to you based on your performance, so if you're on a decent streak, it can be a real lifesaver to get one at just the right time and TRUCK A BITCH.

If you're good enough to "deserve" them you win without them.

Personally I get a little embarrassed when I survive due to a random crit. It makes me think, "Shit that guy outplayed me, he shouldn't be sitting in respawn".

I'd have to implement Smite just for that occasion, oh, and possibly mess with your admin levels from time to time, that way you never know if you can affect the other or not.

That is if and when I do mess with the modding

[zeratuljo1291]

if we are going to get a server cvar change about crits, lets also adjust these as well:

weapon spread v no spread

damage spread v no damage spread

if you dont know what this is, here is a rundown:

weapon spread, if turned off, will lock shotgun shots in a 3 X 3 square. shotguns and scatter gun shots will no longer randomly disperse themselves but be fired in a specific area. it makes playing scout, pyro, soldier and engy (fat scoot as well) more dependable in damage as the hitscan pattern is now fixed and easier to deal damage with.

damage spread, if turned off, will lock all weapon damage without the modifying random number that gets added on. rockets will do 90 damage if taken to the face, nothing more nothing less. pistol shots will do a constant 12 damage from far away or 7 damage farther away. it makes playing more reliable in damage as sometimes you can guarentee a kill but can take away those moments where you escape by the skin of your teeth

[Mr.Tie]

I'd say spread on, because off? I've seen it once, soldiers kill EVERYTHING.
It would be a bit fairer since just your aim count, but it's really a dangerous thing to go against.

[ArmsAreLoud]

I would prefer spread off but it isn't as big of a deal to me as crits so I won't press the issue if there isn't a clear majority in my favor.

[AnotherHomestuckUsername]

Does anyone else have a bug where they can only see a few Steam avatars on the scoreboard or is it just me?

[RedMage]

damage spread is a 15% damage difference from base. its not THAT big of a deal in most cases, but it can be irritating when 3 scattergun meatshots to a unhealed heavy doesn't kill him because of poor dice rolls.
IMO crits is voted, damage spread off, bullet spread on (because maybewidowmaker sniping spam?)

[Mr.Tie]

with spread I had more bullet spread in mind, didn't even knew there was damage spread (knew about the farther the less it dealt thing)

[Kaitostrike]

I wouldn't mind damage spread, but bullet spread would be a different thing. Kind of a personal preference, really, but I imagine that if we did all of this, the first thing most people would think would be "Oh great, Sepulch is going spr srs bsns."

This is something I deal with all the time, and it is ANNOYING AS FIRE.
