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”!

After having played our weekly deathmatches in Terra Nova for more than 8 months, it’s time to summarize which maps the clan enjoyed more. Not all matches were well documented, but 90% of them were. So, this is the chart for 45 games played, and the winner is … Tijuana, with a total of 16 games!

I’m glad to inform you that, thanks to TheDoctor, on Terra Nova, the Winchester 1866 Rifle is now the only weapon at Greenhill Lake. 🙂

Sure you know that in BallerBude statistics you can see which body parts of your opponents you hit more frequently. Just open the Hitzones tab inside your personal statistics.

There are some puzzling things in these stats. One of them is stomach’s location in the man’s model illustration. Hmm… what kind of monster has the stomach under the belly?

What I discovered recently is that, behind the body parts illustrated in the graphics, others exist not well documented.

Look at my hitzones. Don’t you notice something strange?
Among the thousands opponents I killed hitting their legs, chest, head, and so on, I’ve killed 4 players hitting them in a “Could not identify” body zone, hmm…, and 1 player (only one!) hitting him in his ass 🙂 Hehe, I’d like to know who he was.

For Jippi’s hitzones, something similar happens. But he didn’t hit the single player in the “ass”, he had hit him in his “butt”.

Really strange stats/anatomy 🙂

An informal return for an informal departure. Our BallerBude’s hero, TheDoctor, is in good health and back to work.

He sent an email to me in the night. Due to private problems –that I will not report here– he had to be away from the scene for 1 and half month. Now he is back, but still with few time for Baller.
In future, I’ll be probably involved a way more in BB’s administration, leaving to me less time for the clan.

Well, this week we have seen 2 good returns!
