Curious to know which hours of the day *LAME* clan’s members like more for playing in BalleBude? Here’s the answer: the darker the red, the more lame-crowded that hour.

[Click on image for full size.]

As you can see, if you want to find a *LAME* in Baller, you’d better connect in the following hours [Germany time]: 20:00–21:00, 18:00–19:00, 11:00–12:00.

As always, it’s the result of squeezing out data from BallerBude statistics, and converting them to a visual infographic.
To design it, I took screenshots of Activity tables for all *LAME* members registered in Baller (period of time: 21/08/2011–18/09/2011). Next auto-traced them in Inkscape to discard useless parts. I superimposed all rows applying to them some transparency. Next just distorted a little bit the group to make it higher, and… done!
To make my life easier, I created only 1 graphic without distinguishing between weekend days and other days.

If you urgently need fresh *LAME*’s blood, now you know where when to find it.

There is a Belgium -French series of comics I very much like; it’s called Blueberry and features the adventures of a lieutenant after the civil war in the US. Born as a rebel, our cowboy always comes in troubles, sometimes due to his friendships with Indian tribes or his drunk and worthless friend. I use to read it from time to time, it’s an excellent comic (not like american comics, Belgium got some very fine series in its own style.) Beautiful drawn by different illustrators, but my favourite is Giraud. Check out this site: http://www.blueberry-lesite.com/blueberry.htm

I added some very nice cover-artwork here, and some fun images from in the stories. I removed the original text, and made some funny comment over it. See last image for my little joke.

If you feel like doing the same, copy the image, add your text and post it here again.

Cheers!

None of us has English as his native language, and for someone this is such a big problem to prevent them from posting, commenting and even reading these pages. So here is my little help about this.

[Hmm… of course in English language 😐 ]

1– Use the Firefox browser with spell-checking incorporated.

Firefox automatically checks the spelling of words that you enter in text boxes containing more than one line. As soon as you finish typing a word, it is checked against the words in the installed dictionary. If the word is not found in the dictionary, it will be underlined in red

[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20spell%20checker]

To use the English spell-checker, you have to add the English dictionary to Firefox: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20spell%20checker#w_adding-dictionaries

This will help you a lot!

2– I also frequently use Google Translate when I forget a word translation or just to check what I wrote: http://translate.google.fr/?hl=fr&tab=wT#fr|en

If instead of text you paste a URL into the field, Google Translate will give you back a transated version of the site (Beware: magic link! http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=en&tl=ja&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lameclan.tk%2F)

It’s Clan’s deathmatch time!

Day: Thursday 15 September 2011.
Time: 20:30 (Finland and Israel, 21:30).
Gametype: 2 DM & 2 TDM.
Servers: Terra Nova + Nargajunas
TDM Teams: [Jippi, RemsLeTruand, Wiskey, Greyman, Zapata with male model] vs [Biondo, Mope, Sape, Jesse with female model].
Or propose something else.

Is it OK?

Please vote for maps in comments (today there are connections problems with the server and I’m not able to complete new polls).

I must admit, there are some creepy, scary places in the game, where I feel uncomfortable.
One of them is a dark pass between the house and the mountain wall at the Coyote Bluff map. There’s an angry cougar there. And it growls.
I tried to feed it with body parts of killed bots, but it’s still annoyed.
Please, share your fears, maybe mine will go away!
