Seems like we are going to experiment 2 new types of gameplay tonight, in our weekly clan deathmatch (Terra Nova 20:30 CET).

First proposal, by Slowly John, is called “Minesweeper”, that means you can use only dyna to kill your opponents, but without lightning it … to make it explode you have to shoot at it with your gun.

Second proposal, by Biondo, two teams using only knives in Station. Each team should occupy a distinct side of the map, using the middle rail as a delimiter. So, no knife shaving will be possible, just knife throwing. It’s not allowed to kill who respawns in the wrong zone, and similarly who respawns in the wrong zone can’t kill anybody until he reaches his team. Team composition has still to be decided.

[Inspiration: The physics of knife throwing, On the job, Il coltello Bowie].

Hehe, found this introduction to Smokin’ Guns gameplay in YouTube. The fun thing is that it was recorded during a *LAME* Thursday in Terra Nova. Video by meldrian aka holarse of Holarse — Spielen unter Linux.
The second part is recorded in Circus Maximus.

As Wiskey asked to play 1/2 hour before our usual time, starting from this Thursday our weekly clan deathmatch will start at 20:30 CET (21:30 in Israel and Finland) instead of 21:00.

All clan members agreed to change the start time, and in particular JesseJames who wants to watch a football match on TV at 21:00. Hmm … for me two different games in an evening is too much. Jesse, you’ll probably end up dreaming something like this, when you’ll go to sleep:

Please vote for servers/gametype/maps for next Thursday clan deathmatch.

I have an indecent proposal for our Thursday clan deathmatch of tonight: a game in TheUgly style. That exactly means “dyna only”, not “insults only”. 😉

The reason behind this is that I want to obtain a client crash in Terra Nova to debug SG beta’s random crashes.

Since it seems that crashes occur more frequently in crowded games, I tried adding a lot of bots to the map, but without being able to produce a crash. I’m starting to think that crashes occurs in crowded games, but only when someone is using dynamite. This is plausible since dynamite had a similar bug in past times.

I think you understand my proposal now: I need many players, using dyna. Possibly in a not so big map (Tijuana should fit very well the purpose).

Do yo agree to help me in crashing my client?

The second game of the deathmatch might be another Winnies’ fight in Greenhill Lake, or something totally different in another map.

In the meanwhile have fun with this 2 minutes short … “Ugly Thursday”!

If you thought that what happened at Greenhill Lake on Thursday wasn’t strange enough, surely you will be shocked to hear the latest news about it.
The tenth man is not missing any more. The Police’s helicopters have discovered him, swimming over the trees, in a catatonic state.
He was found to be the one named Biondo. Questioned by the Police a few hours after the finding, Biondo claimed that, while in the middle of shooting, he was captured by The Big Wave, and instead of surfing he erroneously started to swim. He added that he wasn’t able to reach the ground again until the moment when he was rescued by the policemen, three days later.
Biondo will have to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, county court has ruled. The need for an evaluation has been triggered by widespread criticism of his story.

Here is an excerpt from the Police’s video footage taken from an helicopter.
