Benzene always seemed like a likeable fellow to me.

It'd be a shame if the server became a podium for drama, instead of comedy.

Ever time I've ever seen you play Jakkarra, you taunt people when you win, complain when you lose, beg for adminship, and are generally in a very bad mood, I'm going to hazard a guess that could have something to do with it. =P

My graphics card blew out, so I won't be TF2ing for a while.  Hopefully when I'm back the engispam will have cooled down.

I'm updating my Gmod server right now. Technically, the Gmod is already updated and I'm updating the TF2 installation.

If the official server goes down, mine could be a backup as long as no one's using it.

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

What is it with these servers fronting as "35/36" or whatever but in actuality being empty? About to start blacklisting them for that shit.

They use a fake client to trick the server thingy into thinking it has lots of people, but it doesn't. I once saw a server with 256 fake people on it, pretty funny.

They can't stop the server lying so the solution they came up with was to award servers points. Each time a player connects the server loses points then as they remain on the server gains points until after about half an hour I think they've gained more points than they've lost. So if lots of people connect to the server then disconnect immediately it loses lots of points and eventually falls too low and isn't shown on the server list.

At least IIRC.

I believe the point system worked like this: When a player connects to the server, it loses 15 points. For every minute each player is connected, the server gains 1 point.

So, you'll have a net gain of points if people play for at least 15 minutes.


Of course, I've heard nothing more about this since the first time Valve blogged about it (and that time, they still manually selected low-scoring servers to 'de-list').





The other solution is to blacklist them. It's possible Valve will look at the server and say, "Hey, lots of people have blacklisted this...", but at the very least you won't ever see it again.  ;D

Valve and Polycount have announced the winners of the Polycount Pack contest. My favorite pack (the Sniper one with the croc stuff and a dart gun) got in. =D Unfortunately, Polycount made a mistake with their linkage, and linked the Spy pack twice, instead of linking that once and linking the Sniper pack once.

Speaking of the Spy pack, we finally get another knife for the Spy.

The Marx generator will produce Engels-waves which should allow the inherently unstable isotope of Leninium to undergo a rapid Stalinisation in mere trockoseconds.
