    Jippi, with these “How to” your contribution to the spirit of this site was remarkable. Looking back at what you were (and possibly still are), today, I must say you were an inspiring mate and a fun opponent.

    Hats off.

    🙂

    Old thread, and long time I haven’t used this. But I think there is a misconception about timenudge here.

    All 3D engines run with a build in latency/lag. This delay is needed by the client in order to interpolate.

    For example, lets say the server runs with as low as 30 gameworld updates per second (ticks), and your client runs with 120fps. Your client needs to interpolate in order to change the 30 server ticks into 120fps.

    Now, what negative timenudge does, it reduces the time/latency available for interpolation. So it basically eliminates the build in lag.

    This has no effect on your upload (unless there is a bug), so it does not affect how other players see you on their screen. It does however let you see things a fraction of a second earlier, so it is a tiny difference. But it only rarely gives an advantage as the difference is tiny, probably in the range of up to 40ms.

    • sunToxx says:

      And it has no effect on lag compensation / antilag. So even with antilag, you do see things a tiny bit earlier with negative timenudge, as timenudge only affects “your dispaly” but not your networking. But as I said, it’s absolutely minimal and will not improve overall stats. Just a single encounter in a rare occasion might be tipped in your favor.

      • Biondo says:

        Thank you Toxx for your contribution.
        As you can deduce from my post, I don’t trust in negative timenudge.

        But it happened, sometimes, that while playing against an opponent using negative timenudge, I found it useful to use it too.
        So the question is: do you think that a negative timenudge could be of some use when you have to front a negative-timenudge opponent?

    Hey Guys 😀 See there were some troubles last week. I have such busy weeks 🙁 And when i played sg, there were only 2 easy players :p
    Hope to see you in game gringos, i have again interest in the game. 🙂

  10. Fire says:

    anyone still play from LAMA clan? :Pp

    • Wiskey says:

      Me and Trinita are still gaming SG, thought both without *LAME* prefix. Unfortunately, this clan is dead!

      • Biondo says:

        Talk for yourself. YOU are dead. *LAME* clan never dies http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/goodbye-nice-clan/

        • Wiskey says:

          LoL, you kicked me from clan due to your bad minds on past days. And you aren’t even in clan.

          But I don’t care from you.

          What happened for nice Biondo which helped all in clan on last years?

          • Biondo says:

            Sorry? When did I kick you from the clan? I never kicked anyone from the clan, least of all you. It has never been in my power to kick anybody.

          • Wiskey says:

            Oh, sorry Biondo. Who then kicked me and why? I didn’t seen any discussion from kicking.

            Well, I am then out of clan.

        • Biondo says:

          I never kicked you, but I’m trying again to interpret your message and … maybe (tell me if I’m wrong), by “having been kicked” you were talking about this page http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/members/ and the fact that Trinita and you have been put into the “former members” hall of fame. If this is what you were talking about, sorry, I did it.

          From Trinita’s message (not an easy reading, I have to say), and from your message, I thought you were both leaving the clan, and since somebody has to spend some time with this site (you know, WordPress updates, database upgrades, SPAM clean-up, and keep it in order without interfering, and that one is me), I updated the page.

          You said this clan is dead. You said you were playing without the *LAME* prefix. I interpreted this as your wish to be removed from the clan (BTW, as you can see, I never removed you from the editors of this site. You are logged in, aren’t you?). You know, maybe “the rules” (see http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/members/ and http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/lames-rules-visually-explained/) meant something to me when I was a member so I misinterpreted your comment.

          I’m going to rehabilitate Trinita and you, so there will be no bad feelings amongst us.

          Sorry for the misunderstanding, my mistake.

          If something else caused your comment let me know.

          • Wiskey says:

            I don’t know about from Trinita, but I am depressed that I am only from LAME who play this game. I don’t see anyone else clan player in BB or BB stats, so that that’s why I play without prefix. But I don’t leave clan if there is anyone else clan member.

        There is an active LAME clan member… Little bit rusty, but still alive…

    hello…i discovery another site of cla Lame…..http://sg-lame.yolasite.com/members.php………………….what is this?

    • JesseJames says:

      Hey Trinita, that was our former site, in the beginning of Lameclan 4years ago or something 🙂

  12. Al says:

    there seems to be another way to get on the roof of the little tunnel left to house of the picture above.
    Does anyone has a clue how to get on that without using a gutling gun as an aid?

  13. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys it’s good to see you all back, i have now more time to play so i’am happy. 😀 hope to see you all in game.

    Btw who have interest in the new tournament? I think Wiskey and mope have interest?

  14. jay says:

    i think it is very cool

  15. Trinita says:

    well, there is a situation when players decide to play as a team, like brothers, they go hand in hand, I think is not correct, why withdraw the request I wrote here …………. …………… these staff likes to play that way is wrong ……………………. ………

  16. Trinita says:

    I agree………………

  17. Trinita says:

    hello friends, 2 friends liked to join our clan, they are Alex Zone and Lovetardiano and they asked if they could join? they talk to me. they expect your answer .. ok…….hugs

    • Mope says:

      Lovetardiano seems like a nice player, as to AlexZone I can’t say much about him. I would rather observe them for some time before taking decisions.

  18. Wiskey says:

    Fourth image is like Assembly Party in Helsinki, FInland. People have computers front of their face and they eat chips and drink Coca Cola.

    I am in if play time is suitable. (19-21 pm).

  20. ZaPaTa says:

    Happy xmas all, (bit late) and a wonderful new year to all!
    A toast to that!

  21. ZaPaTa says:

    Looks like tons of fun!!! I try to make it every year to the yearly boardgame-convention, Spiel in Essen, Germany.
    only boardgames their, but the ambiance looks the same 😉

  22. ZaPaTa says:

    If possible, I would join too…would depend on the hours of course

  23. trinita says:

    well if those who play … I’m in.. also depends on the time of day, but I play.ok. ………………………. time to rock and roll …. lololol

  24. JesseJames says:

    It’s BR so not my favourite gameplay but, it’s maybe good if we have a team in the cup. I will play if the hours are good for me 🙂
    Who is also in?

  25. JesseJames says:

    Happy christmas all! Hope you all had nice days with family and friends a lot of food, a good wine.
    In 2014 LAME-Clan will be back, and better than ever. 🙂

    this music metal is good………………..its a great music………….

  32. Wiskey says:

    Thanks Jippi from domain. But how we get new domain?

  33. Trinita says:

    now its time to Rockǹ Roll……………..ok

  34. Trinita says:

    ok,Thankio Biondo

  35. Biondo says:

    Trinita, there is no Baller Bude administrator amongst *LAME* Clan members. You should ask in “Baller Bude Feedback, Discussion, Question & Answer Thread” (http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3210) to get an answer by a BB admin.

    I can only suppose that your frequently repeated “Time to Rock ‘n Roll” slogan had been automatically marked as spam by BB server software. You probably find it fun, but for most of the players a recurrent phrase (with no real meaning to them) is taken as a distracting annoyance.
    Baller Bude server software could have muted you for this reason. But I’m sure it has been just a short penalty, already come to an end.

    Hi Lames,

    FYI, i have decided to close the domain name lameclan.org until 04/04/2014.

    It’s up to you to overtake the domain name.

    It’s not my favourite map, but it’s well made. it’s good that their are new maps in sg.

  38. JesseJames says:

    Indeed i use your q3 config :p

  39. JippieJaYeah says:

    I see my config is working for other too! 🙂

  42. Trinita says:

    i like this poster……….

  43. JesseJames says:

    Barto nice to see you again here, we were never innactive, only we played a bit less because it was summer, zapa and I had problems with old pc’s etc. but now we are back in game, and hope for a long time. 🙂
    ANd indeed Trinita is a new member in the clan, and he is doing it well.
    Btw trinita, does Cannonball play SG nowadays? Long time ago I saw him.

    • Barto says:

      Nice to see all of you back and stronger! I’m surprised to hear it was the other way how you met the game, funny. 🙂
      Last connection of Cannonball was the 29th September on jeuxlinux, still recent as you see.

      Anyway, SG’s community is the best I have ever seen. There are really some apparent friendships and buddies all over the place. I hope it will continue for years!

      I sadly quite no more have the time to play, even think to read some server’s log, this is due to my studies that has the whole priority on everything else, don’t blame me for trying to understand physics (I never asked for this) instead of playing. :-p

    • Desconhecido says:

      Hi Lame , nowadays you migh dont see me for some reasons , one of them would be school , but i will try to play to be present more to you get the idea of my of before , but now 🙂 .
      Wish you a good game in the present and in the future Lame´s see you in some days .
      I hope the good for you all .

  44. Barto says:

    Wow, it has been a long time I haven’t had a look to this website, so much news I missed because I thought it went inactive…
    One new member with an awesome name. God, how have I missed that?!?
    Anyway, Nice to see some new members into the respectful LAME clan! Welcome Trinita!

    May I ask you one question: Was it Desconhecido who presented you this game? 😉

    • Trinita says:

      No , was in the other way , i demonstrate the game to Desconhecido aka [*<~|XOP]CannonBall , but then he got the knowledge with other players ; doing other experiences ; with other types of games of Smokin' guns , that made him imporve .

  45. Trinita says:

    yes……………great………..amazing…

  46. ZaPaTa says:

    Nonetheless, it’s a great film Trini!

  47. ZaPaTa says:

    Half a year ago, I sat way to far from my computer to play properly (I used it more as a tele than as a computer) and JJ played on very old laptop with a broken screen :p
    I added a computer on my desk, and JJ has a new laptop so we’re both ready to rock again. Hope to catch a lot of LAMEs tonight

  48. Trinita says:

    eh and Portugal…………………………..is my home.

  49. Trinita says:

    what camera you got?

  50. Trinita says:

    good place.nice shoots

  51. Wiskey says:

    It seems that our clan is very popular, now Ripley want to join clan. But he/she is strange for me, I have to watch.

    • JesseJames says:

      Indeed don’t know this player so I can’t say a lot about him/she.
      But i will write a reply for him. We can wait a month or 2 so we can see if he is good or not, have a good behave,…

    • Biondo says:

      OK, end of game.

      Ripley was me. Thanks Wiskey for the quick reply!

  52. Ripley says:

    I would like to join the clan. What should I have to do?
    Please, I don’t play so often, but I’m a good player and your clan is one of the few around, as long as I can say.
    Nice site, BTW.

    • Wiskey says:

      You have to connect for Baller so often as you can, so we see how do you play with others. I think that after 1-2 months we can say if you are accepted.

  53. Trinita says:

    ok, but do not understand about, because until there any site you see many videos tube.mas ok., hug

  54. Biondo says:

    Trinita, it’s not legal to publish an entire copyrighted film in the Web. Also linking to it could be a questionable matter.

    Since this site is registered under my name, I had to make this post private. Sorry.

  55. Trinita says:

    the names we use, many of them represent heroes we saw on film, or tv.trinita was one of them, in my youth, he and his friend, Bud Spencer, were great. movies with comedy, fight, and leave the cinema studies satisfeitos.foi a style that practically desapareceu.como they had many, hence the name I use this character in the game we all play.
    Thankio for the post.

  56. TheBishop says:

    Thank you Sape for creating a page for this event, I was sadly late but luckily I could still meet some of you (Sarah, Trinita, Wiskey) and it was loads of fun:)

    • SAPE says:

      Nice to see you Bishop! You are the other more active member, you anf Trinita represent the clan in game. Thanx. 🙂

  57. Mope says:

    Thanks for delaying. I’ll try to get there on time, I’m getting back home from another town, so maximum I’ll get a little late.

  58. JesseJames says:

    I didn’t played the last 3 months (problems with lags, pc, time,…) so i don’t have a meaning about him. But if he is a new player I think we have to wait a bit to accept him.

    • SAPE says:

      @Jesse:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obdd31Q9PqA

      No Excuses, just do it! 😛

      • Biondo says:

        LOL, humorous answer, SAPE.

        Delaying has not to become a habit, but, talking of Bohanon, it has always been a rule of your clan that:

        1– New recruits have to be registered Baller Bude players, and Bohanon is not. Who will inform him of this “small” detail?

        2– It has to be a known player.

        So, delaying has some motivations here. Just, it would be appreciated by Bohanon to know how long he is supposed to wait for answer. It’s up to you to decide how long the testing time will last, but tell him.

        And, when/if he will be accepted as a *LAME*, don’t forget to point him to clan rules (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/clan-rules/) and to publishing/commenting tips (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/to-you-newcomer/).

        Bye from Grandpa.

        BTW, until now Bohanon seems a good player, a friendly player, a SG lover. I don’t have any other information about him.

        • SAPE says:

          @Biondo: I think he is registered, just his user name isn’t Bohanon. it is Bohannon.

          • Biondo says:

            Hmm, last time I saw him (2-3 days ago) his name was Bohanon (with 1 N) he misspelled the name of Bohannon, the main character of TV series “Hell on Weels”).
            There is a Bohannon (with 2 N) registered in Baller Bude, but he last played on 5 September 2013: http://fragging.wjp.de/xlrstats/index.php?func=player&playerid=1534&config=1

            Or BB stats are broken (that is possible), or he never registered. In any case one of you should probably talk to him.

          • TheBishop says:

            Hi all, out of curiosity I’ve made a search in XLRstats including aliases and seems Bohannon is the player formerly(?) known as Murdoc and .BoH|$triker(http://fragging.wjp.de/xlrstats/index.php?func=player&playerid=1642&config=1). On their website (http://boh-sgclan.jimdo.com/) the latest news is:-We are happy cause Murdoc, a french pistolero joined us! (11/05/2013) I don’t know anything about BoH clan either so it’s possible that he had left them or the clan just ceased to exist.

            I have some vague memory of a player named Murdoc but no lasting impressions at all, I just hoped that maybe this piece of information could evoke memories in some of you.

            BTW, in July Jippie suggested Lowprio as a new member but maybe because of the summertime it went unnoticed, shall we revisit this issue?

        • Biondo says:

          You have to understand that he is called BOHAnON (no double N in his name). Nothing strange if more than one player uses a Bohanon/Bohannon name, since CULLEN BOHANNON is the main character of a popular TV series (http://www.amctv.com/shows/hell-on-wheels) set in the West during the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad.
          Better if you ask him who he is. And, while you are at it, say him that BohaNNon has a double N. I did it, but he didn’t understand.

          About LowPrio, I’m sort of strongly disappointed by the biblical times this clan takes in answering to applicant new comers 🙁

  59. Wiskey says:

    I think that 19.30 is too early for me, but I come if I can.

  60. Mope says:

    Dear Lames. There’s an open request from Bohanon. I’ve played with him today, he’s skilled enough. He did added a *Lame* prefix before getting accepted, but removed it immediately after I explained him he must wait the clan’s decision.

    What is your opinion?

    • Wiskey says:

      I can’t say anything now, I played with Bohanon first time on yesterday.

      I watch later if I accept him.

    • SAPE says:

      Howdy!

      I don’t know him. I think if he constantly play SG for month, and he play fair and friendly, then maybe join. But now I vote against him.

  61. JesseJames says:

    He everyone, i hope that you play with a lot players this week but it’s without me :(.
    But next week I will play with zapa, I have a lot of sense to play with my new pc. 🙂

  62. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Biondo 🙂

  63. JesseJames says:

    Hehe hey all, good to see that you play a lot for our clan. 🙂

    Next week I have a new laptop so then i can play more on thursday and other evenings 🙂

  64. Bohanon says:

    Hello.

    I am Bohanon. My real name is Kiril.

    I love SG very much. I think people in this clas are good guys.

    So, i want to join.

    Thank You.

  65. Trinita says:

    Hehe , thanks for telling me that 🙂 .
    Yes we will some Dm thursday matches , to put some activity in ballerbude , to show to some people from outside , that Smokin ‘ guns isnt inactive as they think it is.

  66. SAPE says:

    Thanx Biondo. 🙂

    We can’t operate the homapage without you.

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you, Sape, my friend. I always appreciated your way to take care of the clan and of this site. Like a father. No, more, like a mother!

  67. SAPE says:

    Howdy Trinita.

    Nice post, I’m glad to see you here, in the homepage too, not just in the game. Nowadays you are the most active member of the clan, you represent our clan in game. Thanx. 🙂

    Anyway: I think we need a clan DM on next Thursday. I will amke a post about it soon.

  68. Biondo says:

    OK, solved.

    It was a broken comment in comments.php (lame theme).
    My fault in the end, though I can’t explain how the problem had been sleeping for years.

  69. Trinita says:

    good trink

  70. JesseJames says:

    Thanks Biondo! You are a great man!

  71. SAPE says:

    Could we give login password to Trinira? I don’t know his mail adress, maybe Jesse or Zap know it.

  72. trinita says:

    am new in your clan, my name is trinita. I chose this name because it is one of my characters perferidas of western movies, and because who represented him, was great working with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. do you remenber of them? ………… a hug … and good shots.

  73. Biondo says:

    You are welcome, guys!

  74. JesseJames says:

    Thanks biondo!

  75. TheBishop says:

    Yes, thanks for being present and caring for us and the site Biondo! At my present technical knowledge all I dare to do in Dashboard is deleting spam with a trembling hand:)

  76. Mope says:

    Bad, Badcrumb! Thanks Biondo, for being there to help. Newer doesn’t always means better, hehe.

  77. JesseJames says:

    Descon have you his emailadress or something if we don’t see him in game? I will write a mail that he is welcome in the clan.

  78. Wiskey says:

    I ordered eventually gaming sound card. I hope it will improve my result compared to the crappy sound chip on the system board.

  79. JippieJaYeah says:

    Trinita is a good choice. Some Molotovs tactic spawn kills from him reminded me of my first SG start in train map. 🙂 Maybe you should request LowPrio too. Both players plays a lot on BB & in the night.

    • Biondo says:

      Seems a very good idea, Jippie! LowPrio and Trinita could have fun together in nightly BallerBude.
      I suppose Trinita can’t wait to get an answer, some people have more free time when they are in vacation mood 😉

      • Desconhecido says:

        Hey cowboys , both as Trinita and LowPrio , are good players , friendly .
        We are all in vacation time , but i know trinita in real life , as a friend , he is very active in BB server , in holidays or in other time without being vacation .
        Trinita is pacient, but in tthis moment he should be anxious about the answer of his request 😉 . who wouldnt be 😛

        • SAPE says:

          Hi Des, nice to see you here.

          I think we would inform Trinita about our decision, wouldn’t we? He is in I think.

  80. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys Trinita is a good player and friendly, but it’s summer most people have vacation etc. I don’t have the time to play this 2 months. But I think we can start in septembre with new mood. I think the game is not dead only in a pause for a few months.

    • ZaPaTa says:

      I Agree with JJ here, We both are in a busy vacation mood (travels, jobs, organisations…) consuming all of our time. But in September, things will cool down again and the two of us will join in again. Even if we could just pick up the weekly clanmatch with a couple of interested *LAME*s (I am! :)) it would boost the game enough.

      I’ll be three weeks completely ‘of the grid’ in the woods and fields of france. Have a nice, hot, healthy, relaxing, lovely, sunny, friendly holiday all!!!

  81. SAPE says:

    Hi!

    I think Trinita could join us. Yep, there are some spawnkill with molotov, but he is a well known, frendly player.

    About the game: well, it is true, the Baller server look like a dessert most prat of the time. There are some veteran, who play sometimes, but the SG is dying. We love this game, but it is the truth. 🙁

  82. Wiskey says:

    Clan and game is nearly dead but we still get some requests. Now it comes from Trinita that is well known Baller Bude player…If we take more players, I accept him immediately.

    Sorry from depressing start, I have been depressed due to my favourite game currrent status, only BB is active server anymore and many known players are left game.

    • TheBishop says:

      I agree with Wiskey, a long time dedicated player, good with the sawed-off and I think it’s not necessary to mention his Molotov mania to you. Sometimes I curse his molotov spawn killing, but as a gatling guy I’m not in the position to raise moral barriers here:) “If we take more players, I accept him immediately.”- I join this statement of Wis.

    Closing SDL audio device…
    SDL audio device shut down.
    RE_Shutdown( 1 )
    ———————–

    This is the Stderr.txt file, hope you can see something wrong or strange in the file, for me it’s just like chinese :p

    • Biondo says:

      I noticed these lines in your stderr.txt:

      —— Initializing Sound ——
      Loading “libopenal.so.0″…
      Failed to load library: “libopenal.so.0″.
      SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_AUDIO )… OK

      Seems like you don’t have OpenAL installed, so SG uses its standard “SDL” audio driver.

      Probably this is has no relation with your problem, but I suggest you install OpenAL and give it a try. In any cases, OpenAL enables a more realistic 3D audio environment and is required if you want to use the integrated “Voice chat” feature.

      You can download it from here: http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx

      • JesseJames says:

        Ok I download it, indeed sound is better, but it still laggs 🙁

        Only solution re-install graphic driver?

        • JippieJaYeah says:

          Your stderr.txt looks ok. The onboard graphic card Intel 945GM is is very old, but that’s not the reason for you problem.

          Are there any backgrounds activities running, like virus scanning , uploading/downloading background updates or anything else?

          Re-installing graphic with newest driver could help, but i don’t thing so?

  86. JesseJames says:

    Ok thanks for the information, but I think I will let Zapata look for it, it looks a bit difficult and I will not make faults.
    Hope he will detect the problem.

    • JippieJaYeah says:

      But what you can do is to post the stderr.txt. You can find it in the base directory of smokin guns (C:\Program Files (x86)\Smokin’ Guns).

      • ZaPaTa says:

        OK JJ, at least look for that little txt file so *LAME* can help a little bit too. I think it’s some sort of error-report? Just do a search on ‘ stderr’ on the comp…GL!

  87. JesseJames says:

    I tried the solution of Biondo, didn’t work (I read too late your new message biondo)
    Hope the solution of Jippie will work, I miss smoking guns

    • Biondo says:

      Please, try this also and tell me what happens. Move your q3config.cfg to another folder/directory (say to the Desktop or to your Documents folder). SG will re-create a new q3config.cfg file next time you’ll run the program. Tell me if it works or not.

      In any case, as Jippi said here http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3299&p=25477&hilit=openal#p25484

      ” post the stderr.txt. You can find it in the base directory of smokin guns (C:\Program Files (x86)\Smokin’ Guns).”.

      If you have a problem also in Single-player mode, it’s NOT a server side problem, but a problem in your local environment. You have 3 possibilities than:

      1– Your SG executable/binaries/program. We can exclude it since you already re-installed it.
      2– Your configuration file. You said you haven’t changed it, but a last try (as that I’m suggesting in this comment wouldn’t hurt).
      3– Drivers: audio or video drivers.

      If everything fails … I don’t know what to think. maybe call a “Doctor”?

      You hear an echoed/doubled sound? Maybe, more than one instance of the game/program is running? I don’t know how and if this could happen, but … it’s something to have a look on.

    • JippieJaYeah says:

      You also need to install the latest original driver for your graphic card. This will install the opengl driver.

  88. JesseJames says:

    Oh yes everything runs perfect on my laptop, so it’s not a problem with my internet, or space amount on the pc.

    • ZaPaTa says:

      How do you mean it run’s perfect? I thought their were problems…

      Also folks, I saw JJ playing. There wasn’t a red icon on top of him in game – like when you have a lag – but when i tried to hit him he just “bounced” around the house, like I was only seeing some of the movement or frames, and other bits just wasn’t visible to me. (neither for him)
      So the issue is; Why are we missing frames? The problem is also their in single-player, offline and even in the menu.

      Some issue with videocard?

  89. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys, i have a big problem since a few days. Last week I opened SG and it was one big lagg (I didn’t changed anything about my config). First I taught it was in the game, but my ping was normal. My FPS is about 60 but then it’s only 8 or 9. I hear the sound double (like a echo).
    After that I unistall SG and reinstall it, but it was just the same. I changed my setting, didn’t work.

    Do you have a solution for that? It would be great, because i will play SG! 🙂

    Thank you
    Jesse james

  90. ZaPaTa says:

    Excellent! Looking forward wiskey to play again with you in CN!
    Hope JJ gets his comp fixed by tomorrow evening, so we can shoot again nicely 🙂

  91. Wiskey says:

    My ban time ended yesterday, so I can play freely in Circus Novus and Jeux Linux.

  92. Wiskey says:

    Is there anyone audio experts in the field? I’m thinking that I will try to improve the sound quality to survive better in the game. I have Audacity 2.0, I am trying to use the equalizer to improve the environment quality of sound, but I do not understand any from that filter. So I aim for this:

    “Use” soundwhoring. “In order to do this you need an audio program Which is able to show the frequencies of the audio tracks. Then figure out the frequencies of
    “… \ Smokin ‘Guns \ smokinguns \ sg_pak0.pk3 \ Sound \ footsteps \” and Increase them with an equalizer program. Thus its Easier to hear footsteps without hurting your ears with too loud weaponsounds ”

    This is the Sunrise Guide: http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=32

    I also tried Biondo and Yippi advice, but I do not yet know the effects of.

  93. Wiskey says:

    Nice computer corner Zapata. Maybe I add image also from my own computer corner when I get to clean my room. Too much devices and too small room.

    Gongratulation for you and your girlfriend.

  94. TheBishop says:

    Congatulations Zapata, my warmest wishes for you and your fiancée! Also, the new place looks super cozy, and that speaker is badass:)

    Pity I’ve missed so many great news, it’s exam time and my social interactions are non-existent, but hopefully by next week I’ll be ready for a fight.

  95. JesseJames says:

    I can see the picture 🙂 Yep a new time is arrived, new pc, engaged and good skills in SG. Let the game begin. 🙂

  96. Biondo says:

    @ZaPaTa, The problem of the photo is solved, yes (I only took the liberty to scale it down a little, because this layout cropped it).

    @Jippie: here is the pic of ZaPaTa girlfriend:

  97. JippieJaYeah says:

    Yep, i see the pic right now, but where’s the pic of your girlfriend?

  98. ZaPaTa says:

    Tnx Biondo, glad you also noticed the improvement. I’ll give it another run somewhere in the evening, but it felt easier to aim so far…
    I forgot that we can host pics on our own site, so I changed the link to the now own hosted pic. Problem solved I hope?

  99. Biondo says:

    Oh! First of all, congrats to you and your girlfriend for the decision. I wish you a smiling future!

    About the new gaming equipment … we had noticed something new in your skills yesterday night, Rusty (or was it just the euphoria of been engaged?) 🙂

    BTW, I can’t see your photo here (but it’s possible that’s only me. Maybe a redirection blocker, or something).

  100. JesseJames says:

    Tonight LAME-Day!! Be there or be square!

  101. SAPE says:

    Sorry, i wasn’t at home yesterday, so I missed the clan match,

    Anyway, I have a suggestion: Zap said in wiskey’s post: there is no players on BB server most part of the day. Could we play the clan DM on BB server or stay the CN server?

  102. ZaPaTa says:

    Hi Wis,
    I know the feeling and I feel the same, unfortunately.
    I started playing SG as a student with some free time and a laptop.
    I’m now working in an office and I don’t have a good computer to play SG on. (Comp is used like a tele, so I’m sitting way to far of my screen).
    Due to the lack of proper equipment and free time I didn’t evolve the last two years. I even got rustier. In the rare free time I could play, servers were most of the time empty.
    This all was very demotivating and I dropped a bit the interest in SG, and playing games on PC in general, using my time for some constructive family plans (and design, gardening and music plans).

    Yet I very much miss the community spirit of organizing a collective evening with people from all over the world and chatting around for a bit. And play properly, for an organized evening is a good way to fill a server and lure other players.

    I’ll soon have a laptop again – still my favorite type of computer. I’ll hope, if the LAME clan is still alive and kicking, I’ll regain my interest – I never lost the good feeling about the clan, don’t get me wrong! – in SG, the weekly clan-match…and I hope *LAME* will accept its lost sheep with enthusiasm 🙂

  103. JesseJames says:

    This week I will play, I promise. 🙂

  104. JesseJames says:

    Wiskey this clan is more than playing SG, it’s a bit of a little community. We respect eachother!

    If I can help you just ask it. 🙂

    BTW this week I can play SG on thursday

  105. Wiskey says:

    Thanks Jippi, I try your tips and config soon!

  106. JippieJaYeah says:

    @Wiskey: For some improvements look here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/jippies-optimization/

  107. SAPE says:

    @wiskey: is this email adress work: jonihie [at] hotmail [dot] com

    I wanna send you a mail.

  108. SAPE says:

    Yep, it was a nice game. The Llamas team fought again. Yehaaaaaaa! 🙂

  109. SAPE says:

    Wiskey, I download some of your demos from BB stat. I will see it and I try to do my best to help you.

  110. Wiskey says:

    Sounds good to me, I needed the most help to improve the reaction rate and of an aim towards to. I can hear pretty well if someone is coming but I do not have time to react. And the aiming with a moving target is pretty much impossible, it does not get better just by playing.

  111. TheBishop says:

    Wiskey, you are fair, you are fun, I’m always glad when you enter the game. And Jippie is right, the only genuinely new player I’ve seen for months is a lunatic brazilian guy on Rawhide (am I right, Biondo?:).

    @Jippie, thanks for creating the match post and moving my comment there, sorry for misplacing it originally

  112. JippieJaYeah says:

    The new players are most old long players – so don’t be depress.
    Maybe we can help to improve you skills oder hardware setup.
    What do you thing`?

  113. TheBishop says:

    Thx for the nice game tonight guys (Sape, Wiskey, Mope in order of appearance and special thx to RP Serbia for joining us). It was pure fun! Unfortunately Wiskey -who played really well- was banned from circus in the middle of the game without reason:( Guess it was some server malfunction.

    • Wiskey says:

      I’ve been banned from Circus Maximus for several months, for reasons that do not depend on me. I got a web address that will put my IP address on a white list so i can play normally.

      Unfortunately, that list is only valid for 24 hours at a time when 24 hours have passed, I have to log in again I get the time to play. If 24 hours have passed while I’m playing, the server will kick me out of the middle of the game.

  114. Wiskey says:

    Gold Prodigy is frienldy player. but Gold Danut and Gold Costello/Romania is players that I hate. I am played with both on something TDM server, and both do teammatekilling without reason. I think that it is not accident that they do this.

  115. Wiskey says:

    I am played sometimes with Tankjunior, and I vote against him. In BB stats, he uses same nick as Vincent, so I don’t know is Tankjunior only fake alias for Vincent.

  116. Biondo says:

    Hi Jippie.

    Here is the list of clans I know. Please use it to supplement yours.

    I wish to give you a couple of advices:

    1- keep the list alphabetically sorted or you’ll have hard times to mantain it
    2- it would be nice if you could preserve the exact punctuation of clan tags (uppercase/lowercase, special characters, …). Forget the colors, it would be too much work!
    3- whenever possible add the full name of the clan after its abbreviated one

    When you’ve done, please delete this comment.

    • JippieJaYeah says:

      Wow, thank you Biondo, that’s a big overview of clans and very helpful.
      Did you actually research them or did you have a list form somewhere?

      to 1.) Yes, i like it too.
      to 2.) Yes, i will do this. Its also my intention.
      to 3.) Thanks for the full names. Didn’t know them all.

      • Biondo says:

        My sources are:

        1– A series of bookmarks I saved along the time when I was BB admin
        2– This list at SG wars: http://sg-wars.forumotion.net/t3-sg-clan-list
        3– “Friendly clans” pages in sites of the clans
        4– Google
        5– SG Forum

        Few clans in my list are completely unknown to me (maybe they changed name or died definitely before I joined SG, or play only BR).
        It’s possible that one clan is in the list more than once, under 2 different names.

      • Biondo says:

        When you’ll have completed the list, a good idea would be to check its correctness by a post in SG Forum, asking a comment to all clan members.

  117. JesseJames says:

    Wow what a discussion here, I will read it tomorrow and give my opinion. I’am happy that Jippie and Biondo are so close with us, and will take the clan to a higher level.
    I had the last weeks not so much time to play and I had not so much time to play with tankjunior/ .39.

  118. SAPE says:

    Thanx Biondo. I made a modification, I have reason, believe me.

  119. SAPE says:

    @Biondo:
    I see in the “dasboard-members” there are some ex-member. It is just formally, or they could login, if they want?

  120. Vincent says:

    thanks

  121. JesseJames says:

    Hey Jippie, I had just the same idea when i played with him a few days ago 🙂 I taught it was Vincent but he said: “i’am his brother” 🙂
    For me it’s a yes 🙂 But I have to play with him a few times more.

  122. Vincent says:

    Gues, to you not to transfer as me it is pleasant to hear all this. Thanks for congratulations. We love all of you. With a holiday of the Great Victory-9 of May) Google translate))

  123. JippieJaYeah says:

    Howdy,

    i like to introduce a new Player. His name is Alex or Alexander, 19, comes from Russian Federation, a big town (don’t remember anymore, something big with first word “K”) and he is Vincent brother. In my opinion he is friendly, could speak better English then Vincent (important to communicate through Alex to Vincent 😉 ) and play very well. His alias on BB is 39 or int he last times Tankjunior and more online like Vincent.

    I ask him, if he want to be a lame member. He say yes. So i say to him, that i will ask the lames.

    BTW: I told him about the greeting here for his son. He will give the information to Vincent.

    Now, its up to you!

    Jippie

    • Biondo says:

      Do you really want to recruit this guy?
      Are you sure?
      There are 2 possibilities:
      1– He is Vincent playing under a fake identity (it’s possible … Vincent are you TankJunior?)
      2– He is his brother (and not all Vincent’s brothers are saints. Maybe you’ve heard something from Vincent’s voice).

      I met him more than once, but I could not talk to him tonight. I tried, and tried again, and again. I asked him “Where is Vincent?”, “How is Vincent?”.
      No answer. He was too busy flirting with Kate (you know, that Kate I was mad with, that Kate that asked to join the clan, that offensive player that provoked me so much to make me muted in Baller).

      Think 2 times before let him join the clan.

      @Jippie: I’m not a clan member, I’m here to help with server and with my experience as a former BB admin. I never posted something after I resigned, just made comments (as any guest can do), or posted private posts. I think you should take the same behaviour, or you had to re-join the clan. But that’s only my opinion, my friend. I’m sure you are acting for the good of the clan, but at the eyes of the world (and possibly also to the eyes of some clan members) you look like you are kidnapping *LAME* clan site. It’s not a clear position.

      @Jippie again: what is that page of friendly clans? Let me say one thing as a former BB admin. Some of those clans are made mostly of cheaters or ex-cheaters. Of course in BallerBude (where you can’t cheat and where you get kicked for saying offensive words) every clan is friendly. It’s not a case if in others clans’ sites *LAME* clan is not listed among their “friendly clans”, it’s simply because they don’t consider a “friendly clan” a clan that hosted a former BB admin (someone who banned its members) amongst its members.
      Not a good idea, IMHO. But, I’m not a clan member.

      Maybe *LAME* clan should establish a “ghost” category under his members page 🙂

      See you in game Vincent and Jippie, and all. Have fun to all.

      • SAPE says:

        Howdy Brothers!

        Well, I don’t think so we must recruit new members dewspite we aren’t so active in the last weeks and months.
        BUT the Lame clan is still exist. One of the last SG clan I think…

        Do you know the reason?

        It is simple. We choose our new members carefully, and we enroll new player very rarely. We are a closed community.

        About Tankjunior: I vote against him. His alias not so clear. Biondo, you all right.

        About the friendly clans: I thought the “Gold” clan is a friendly clan. Last clan DM time, last thursday I arrived first to Circus Novus. There were two Gold member playing (one of them is Gold Danut, there forgot the other’s name.). The game type wasn’t be Duel, it was TDM, so I joined. They wanted to chase me, they were so offensive in game and in chat too. I started to fgiht against them, and after a few minutes Bishop and Wiskey arrived too. The gold clan gave up the fight and disconnected.

        P.s.: There is an other possible reason, I can talk it becouase it is a private area. The Hungarian and the Romanian hate eash other. It is an old contrary. Maybe it was the reason, but I think the first possibility is more potential.

        • Biondo says:

          Gold-Prodigy is very friendly (at least towards me), but other Golds are usually a pain in the ass.

          Probably the same concept of “Friendly clan” is senseless, because in every clan you can find good, bad and ugly members. Moreover, you (as me) play mostly DM where the gameplay is not based upon clans (be they friends or enemies).

          • TheBishop says:

            Well, as Sape wrote I arrived a bit later than him and guess I avoided the worst parts, but there were definietly tension in the air and the whole situation was somewhat uneasy. Luckily, Sape and Wiskey are great guys and we turned it into a nice game and a great talk, thank you guys again.
            As of the GOLDs, Prodigy is one of the kindest/most fun players, and I’ve always got along well with Beginner and Serbia too. I think the problem is GOLD started to recruit steadily, and the sole two factors of application are being romanian and/or of Orthodox faith. Guess some not so decent players found their way into the clan (one of them was Danut, the other was I think Costel, but I’m not 100% sure).
            As of the reasons I’m pretty sure there is no LAME-GOLD rivalry, the hungarian-romanian relations I felt a possibility, but haven’t recognized ethnic slurs in their conversation. (Just a sidenote: please don’t think of it as some bloody vendetta on the Balkans, most people have no bad feelings against each other on a personal level) Maybe the guys just met with Sape, a prestigious player outside baller, and thought of offending and hunting him down together? In that case they failed terribly:)

      • TheBishop says:

        Forgive me for getting involved in this conversation, as the youngest member in terms of membership I miss many informations about SG history, clans and so on…
        As of Alex I’m pretty sure he’s really Vincent’s brother and not an alias, they have independently verified it and Alex communicates very differently. About “not all Vincent’s brothers are saints” I slightly remember him mentioning some alarming things I couldn’t take seriously at that time, but who knows? I understand Jippie recommending him because he’s a good and mostly friendly player and as I’ve understood Vincent he doesn’t plan to play regularly since the birth of his child, so his replacement with his brother might have seemed reasonable to him based on the information he had.
        About the friendly clans page for me it was interesting to see how many, now mostly defunct clans have existed, maybe we could just rename it to something more neutral (“other clans”?) or feature only those clans who shared our link on their website and we have an esteem of them? I think this site serves as a reference for many new players and provides a rich background on SG, so while I understand Biondo’s doubts some kind of a list seems fitting this function for me.

      • JippieJaYeah says:

        @Biondo:
        First, i dont want to kidnap the *LAME* site. What the eyes of the world says (whos that?), i dont know, but if the *LAME* members feel the same as you, then i would stop do anything here.

        Second, of your possibilities: No, we dont here some voice from Vincent, because of his bad english, thats the problem. With Alex alias Tankjunior there is a better access to Vincent. I told Tankjunior that his brother look at the greetings post to his son. Next day, Vincent wrote his thanks to the post. The recruit of a new member is only suggestion – not more and not less.

        Third, the page friendly clans was just in structure and can to be edit from all.
        But my fault to post it! My intention was as Bishop wrote ” I miss many informations about SG history, clans and so on…”.

        But anyway, I finally give up here!

        • SAPE says:

          Jippi, you know we had some conflict, I don’t wanna continue it. Nobody wanna hurt you, inversely, we love you and we hope you coma beck soon.
          You heared Vinc has a child and make a post, and you suggest a new member, Tankjunior, It is nice and we thanx it, but it would be more nice, if you be a member. Why don’t you come back? We see that you love this band, and the LAME clan is important for you. Don’t be childish. We welcome back.

          P.S. About TankJunior: now I vote against him, so we’d pause this discussion. Maybe later I change my opinion, but now I can’t trust him. I think we could speak about him after a few weeks, id ou agree with it.

          • JippieJaYeah says:

            Sape wrote: “We see that you love this band, and the LAME clan is important for you. Don’t be childish. We welcome back.”

            Only with my Senior Mentor Biondo! 😉

        • Biondo says:

          @Jippie, I didn’t want to upset you. Sorry if I used the wrong tone of voice. I just wanted to open a discussion with you and other members, not to accuse you. I know you are acting for the good of the community.

          What I tried to propose was a compromise solution for your position in relation to the clan (and also for my position).
          We aren’t members, but we cooperate to this site. This could be seen as an anomaly outside the clan. I would feel more comfortable if your (and mine) position could be official/public. I mean: non-clan-members, but still contributing to the site.

          This is why I proposed to add a “Ghost” category to members page. Maybe “Ghost” is not self-explicative, maybe something like “Site helpers” would be more clear.

          About Vincent brother and Friendly Clans page, I just expressed frankly my point of view as I always do.

          Friends as always, Jippie?

    • Biondo says:

      Jippie, you deleted the page about “Friendly clans”, but from the comments seems that clan member appreciated your page. I’ve found a draft by you somewhere in WordPress and re-published your page. I hope you don’t get angry 🙂

      • JippieJaYeah says:

        No, i didn’t delete the page. I set the page from published to draft back, because of the discussion about clans behavior. I will try to make a overview of the all (former) smokin guns clans with all the players and former players. I rename the page to “Other clans” – so its clearer. The page is under construction

        Btw: I don’t know why we have to discuss this on the recruitment site. This is why i made in earlier days the Dashboard page to get a better structure overview of the *lame* site and his contents.

  124. JesseJames says:

    Yihaaaaaa hooraaayy Vincent. Hope he is even fast like his father with the guns 😉 Gave him a few years and he could also play SG. 🙂

    BTW: Guys/girls next week a special DM on thursday? We can do a little babydrink (with a good glass of wiskey or beer. 🙂 )

    • JippieJaYeah says:

      Good idea, Jesse!

      A NEW LAME VINCENT BABY DEATHMATCH DAY.

      😈

    • SAPE says:

      Congratulation Vince! 🙂

      And thanx the post, Jippi. 🙂

      Ok, we make a special clan dm next week.

      BTW there was clan DM yesterday: we (Wiskey, Bishop and I) played a TDM against two not so friendly Gold clan members. After they gave up the fight, we play a good DM and talked lot of things. It was fun, thanks. 🙂

      Ps.: I was there at last week too, but juswt on my own. 🙁

      • JesseJames says:

        Ok good to hear that their was a DM yesterday and that you had fun, i had my little job again with the kids. 🙂

        OK it will be a great DM, hope a lot of clanmembers come to the party.

  125. Barto says:

    Congratz Vincent!
    I suppose you have to buy him a wooden horse before givin’ him a real one!

    I raise my whiskey bottle to your family!

  126. Mope says:

    Сердечные поздравления, Винсент, от имени всего клана! Congratulations, Vincent!

  127. Biondo says:

    Good news!
    Congratulation to you, Vincent, but more to your ma’am!
    Hope the best for the newborn cowboy.

  128. ZaPaTa says:

    That’s so great!
    Congrats to Vince & the happy family, hope everything is fine.
    Hope to join you all soon in game – hectic times here with my job so didn’t had much free time lately. But if I see him, i’ll send him my congrats 🙂

    Tnx Jippie

  129. JesseJames says:

    Sorry all I can’t play tonight, I go to a magic-act 🙂 Have fun all!

  130. JesseJames says:

    It’s a pity that their was nobody :(. I forgot to make a post this week. 🙁
    Hope next week will be better.

    • Anonymous says:

      I am having problems with my computer at the moment, I think I need a new power supply. So I cant play until that is sorted.

      🙁 its a shame no one played last night.

  131. McPit says:

    very very nice …. LOLOLOLOLOL

  132. McPit says:

    Thank you to Biondo for this site …

    • Biondo says:

      You are welcome, McPit! Only, all *LAME* clan should be credited for it, and particularly the clan founders: ZaPaTa & JesseJames.
      See you in game 🙂

  133. Kontekst says:

    Hi Guys, my name is Kontekst. i don’t have the requirement that i play at least 1 month, but everything else is fine. i want to join the clan to learn from you guys and to support you. 🙂

    • JesseJames says:

      Hey Kontekst we will watch you a bit, see if your behavior is good, you respect a bit our rules that is very important for LAME members that we respect eachother and other players. (and play so often as you could).
      If that is good for you? We will answer you in the future and we are happy that you will join us and you like SG.

  134. Kontekst says:

    hey guys, just played my first round of this game, and i chose your server. awesome, i don’t saw anything like that in Call of Duty, the players are friendly and nobody is hacking.

    keep it up like that, you just got a new local on your server. 😉

    • Biondo says:

      Hi LAMEs, you should frame Kontekst message and hung it to your wall. It’s also your merit if we can enjoy a game. Thanks to you all, LAMEs.

      Kontekst, LAMEs have well known sports rules, and BallerBude (though it’s not a server hosted by LAME clan) has its own sports rules by @spi (the owner of the server and a good friend) and a nice anti-cheat system developed by TheDoctor (a wonderful admin and developer).

      Welcome on board and enjoy a game purified from trolls, for a maximum gaming pleasure.

    • JesseJames says:

      Hey Kontest hope you have a good time with us.
      LAME is a clan and we all play on BB. I hope we see you often and we meet eachother there. It’s a server were you can’t cheat or insult and that is nice.

  135. Wiskey says:

    Maybe I will be there.

  136. TheBishop says:

    Thank you Jippie, most generous of you!

  137. ZaPaTa says:

    Great surprise! Nice Jippie, thank you verrry much!

  138. JesseJames says:

    Thanks Jippie wonderfullgift for the clan really thanks!

  139. JippieJaYeah says:

    http://www.lameclan.org is now active 🙂

  140. Biondo says:

    Just finished watching Serenity (as Mope said “surely it’s not a western, it’s mentioned here only as a sequel of Firefly series”).

    Very nice sci-fi/action/horror movie. I recommend it, if you don’t fear the fear.
    Thanks for pointing at, Mope.

    • Mope says:

      Biondo, the Firefly series are very nice, don’t miss them. For some reason everyone here starts watching from the movie…

      • Biondo says:

        OK, I’ll do it. I see it’s in Netflix.

      • Biondo says:

        Update: to be honest after having watched 1 and half episodes of TV series I got bored enough. Maybe I’m not a TV guy, but the film deserved the stress of reading English subtitles, “Firefly” doesn’t.

      • Biondo says:
          I have to contradict myself. Also the TV series is really enjoyable, and it’s more “Western” than the film.
          When I watched the first episode I had a terrible headache, and that probably made me hypercritical.

          Nice discovery, Mope. Thanks.

      • Biondo says:

        I just finished watching “Firefly” TV series and have to say that it’s a GORRAM crazy and fun show! I suppose I’m a browncoat now. Too bad that after 14 episodes the series had been cancelled. Thanks, Mope.

  141. Wiskey says:

    I vote also for lameclan.org

  142. Biondo says:

    Be sure to change your signature in SG Forum (if your signature includes a link to this site) and make it point to http://lameclan.altervista.org for now, if you don’t want to loose visitors.

  143. JippieJaYeah says:

    Hi, these domains are free and cost with my hosting provider 0,29€/months.
    http://www.lameclan.de
    http://www.lameclan.com
    http://www.lameclan.net
    http://www.lameclan.org
    http://www.lameclan.info
    If the clan wish, i will reserve a domain and donate the money to the clan for two years.
    Btw: I edit this page to private, to prevent stolen domain above. I hope that’s ok.

  144. ZaPaTa says:

    Hi Mope,
    cost for it is €20 for two years, rather expencive for a silly .tk,
    a .info make 6 euros for 2 years. a .com makes about 16 euros.

    We don’t need it, but it’s often handy in-game to drop the short site URL to people who don’t know it yet, or if you’re referring or so.
    The .altervista.org is fine, and OK for us, but maybe a bit long or confusing (altervista is a bit confusable with altavista for example) to share in-game.

    just my idea.

  145. Mope says:

    Please, remind me why do we still need a domain name besides http://lameclan.altervista.org? If you think it’s too long, let’s buy a nice domain name. BTW, how much do they want for .tk?

  146. Wiskey says:

    I accept J@p but I think that we can keep now pause from recruiting. We have now lot’s of players and only few players are active in site and Circus Maximus in Thursday.

    It seems to be that more we recruit new players, more old players leave clan on sometimes.

    That’s not be good if we want keep clan alive.

    But that was only my own opinion.

  147. JesseJames says:

    Btw since when left Jippi the game? I saw him one week ago.

  148. Biondo says:

    Hi friends.

    If you want fresh blood in *LAME* clan consider inviting J@p.

    He always played friendly, and he’s getting better and better.
    He’s not so communicative while playing (but I’m also mute while playing), but he dispenses smiles 🙂 to the left and to the right. He doesn’t belong to any clan for what I know.

    He didn’t ask to enter *LAME* clan, and also this is a point in his favour.

    … just to let you know … since Jippie left the clan (and lately the game) new flesh is needed.

  149. Wiskey says:

    Sarah, If you want, we can play the next time more dm games.

  150. JesseJames says:

    Nice score Sarah in the DM game!
    Also mope what a score with your shotgun? in steamboat.
    Also thanks to the other guys who played tonight!

  151. Mope says:

    Here come the screenshots:

  152. JesseJames says:

    I have to go to a few kids (like every two weeks) but I can play for like 15 minutes. Yihaa spring is coming, I need the sun on my skin. 🙂
    Btw what a gun 🙂

  153. Sarah says:

    Nice Mope, I will be there.

  154. Wiskey says:

    I will be there with my S&W.

  155. ZaPaTa says:

    Funny! Indeed, spring is coming.
    I won’t make it tonight, got a friend coming over who need some graphics very urgent. Urgh 🙁 work

  156. Wiskey says:

    I will be there

  157. Mope says:

    Good Job, Sarah! I’ll be there and hope to see all of you, Lamigos!

  158. SAPE says:

    Very nice post. 🙂
    I will be there.

    Today is Valentin day, so here is a good country love song:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKPcnW5BJG0

    Queen of my heart – Hank Williams Jr. (Performed by James Dupré)

  159. JesseJames says:

    ZaPa i’am with you so she has no other option then allows us to play this night ;). Nice picture, hope we don’t have mercy for eachother. 🙂

  160. ZaPaTa says:

    Hi all, just reading this topic for the first time!
    few things:
    1. I worked with google docs, benefit is that you don’t have t answer right away, like a real-time interview. You have time to think about it and write it down in the document. Once you’re done you send a mail or give a shout. Than I did a second round, see what reaction were interesting enough to go a bit deeper in it.
    2. I didn’t find the time to write some more, although I really liked it that job 🙂 very GREAT wiskey you’ll continu them, I look forward to read them.
    3. I agree with you Sarah, we have to drop a line, just a little shout-out if you’ll be joining the clan match. I stopped making that regular post here because I thought we generally agreed on the date, so you could just know it we were playing. But it’s better if we know in advance who is playing and even who isn’t! Thanks Sarah for this week post, but it doesn’t has to be with a fancy graphic. It could be a reason why someone doesn’t dare to make this weekly post (because he don’t have a nice graphic you see)!
    4. SAPE, it’s always nice to have you with us, it’s hard to hear you can’t join in in the future! Hope we still meet though in SG…

    • Wiskey says:

      Thanks Zapata. Yes, I have lot’s of work so I am also busy but in weekend I have more time. If we do interviews yet, for me it’s better do it in multiple part, so i get time to think what i write.

  161. ZaPaTa says:

    haha great Sarah! If my girlfriend allows me on this ‘special day’ I’ll join, it has been a while so looking forward to meet you all again!

  162. Wiskey says:

    Yesterday, when I tried connect to BB i got also message, “You are banned from server” but now I can connect normally for BB and Circus Novum. I didn’t do anything and it works.

    Strange.

  163. Mope says:

    Anyone who had a problem “Nor or bad challenge, there’s a solution, by Tequilla and Sunrise:

    just add this line to your hosts file:

    91.121.39.115 authorize.smokin-guns.net update.smokin-guns.net

    On Windows hosts file is here:
    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

    • Biondo says:

      In Linux the file is /etc/hosts

      This is a temporary solution, not viable for players that don’t read SG forum. I’m sure TheDoctor and Téquila will adjust the things in a transparent way.

      Let’s wait a couple of days, but, if in a short time the problem will not have found a definitive solution, I think that a specific post in this site (or even a new “Survival kit” column) could be useful to some players.

  164. JesseJames says:

    Biondo I posted a few minutes ago on the SG forum. 🙂
    Ofcourse I remember the MonsterBrowser crash, that was a terrible time for SG. Today their was 8 people in BB @ 6pm. And full server in JL.

  165. JesseJames says:

    Oh damn I’am banned from the server,…? First time this week I have such a sentence.

    • Biondo says:

      I was sure, Jesse.

      Please, can you post your problem here? http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3284

      Please, I’m asking it on my knees, can you post it?

      Every minute I see a new player banned from those servers.

      There’s no time to wait if we want SG survive. It’s a new crisis (like master servers crisis. Do you remember? I had to make a SURVIVAL KIT column in this site).

    • Biondo says:

      Barto had been banned just now “You are banned from this server”

  166. JesseJames says:

    Hmm I don’t have connection problems last days in BB or CN. So can’t help you guys.

  167. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    I’ve some problem. I can’t connect BB server and Circus Novus with my PC. It is OK, maybe I must install the software again.
    BUT there is smokin’ guns software in my girlfriend’s PC, and I try it now. I can connect Circus Novus, but I can’t connect to BB. The server “said”: no or bad challenge” or ” your IP is BANNED”. I use the alias “Slow Snow” in my girlfriend’s PC.
    I don’t understand it. Could you help me?

  168. JesseJames says:

    Well played sarah! GG all

  169. JesseJames says:

    YES I can play this night! 🙂 The kids that I have to carry are sick. So I can play @8u30

  170. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    I arrive home on 21.30. Cu on baller at night.

  171. JesseJames says:

    Thanks for making the post Sarah! I have my last week that I have a little job. So no (T)DM for me. 🙁
    Hope the rest can come and you all have a lot of fun.

    I can play after 11PM, so if you have sense to plate lately, just do it 🙂

  172. Sarah says:

    I don’t mind answering some questions but I don’t know if I would have a lot to say compared to the other interviews.

    Its a nice idea Wiskey, we really need to try and get the clan back on track. I just learnt Des has left the clan.

    I know we all have other commitments that are more important than sg but I think we need to increase our communication about who is playing on a Thursday. For example, the week before last I was only player on the server.

    • SAPE says:

      I missed out some Thursday, and now it is sure, since May, I won’t be at home on Thursdays. So this day isn’t good for me.

    • Wiskey says:

      You don’t have to answer all questions if you don’t want.

      Edit: I meant this for Sarah, but I don’t know how I can answer straight for her.

  173. Sarah says:

    Very nice Sape.

    I like the red and black one with the hole. The red and black stripes remind me of when animals are coloured brightly to look more aggressive.

    • SAPE says:

      Thanx Sarah.
      I am very happy about it: I made that handle. It is red and black leather, and the little silver ball on the end of the black leather stripe is a silver skull.
      This knife suits you, Killer Queen. 🙂

      • Sarah says:

        Oh i didn’t realise you made the handle and I only just noticed the skull. Its definitely my favourite one.

  174. Desconhecido says:

    HI LAME´s , im not in lame anymore , but i can still comment here?

    I liked a lot of dm macthes in thursday , so i will go every thursday to your tdm/dm matches as i can .
    I wish you all good work.

    Desconhecido aka [*~<|X0P]CannonBall

    Edit: Comment moved from Topic: Interview to Topic: Teamdeathmatch (Jippie)

    • Wiskey says:

      You can comment here if you don’t remove your account. If I understand right.

      You are welcome to dm/tdm games with your clan.

  175. SAPE says:

    Update:
    I take my 3rd KABAR knife. It is the king of the classic style fighter knife: the KABAR D2 extreme fighting/utility Knife. 🙂

    http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/14

    It is uncommon and expensive in Europe. I made a bartel business one of my friend, I gave 4 knives for it.

  176. JesseJames says:

    Yeah I will do also an interview in the future when i have more time. Now my examns are ended I have a little bit more time for SG.
    Good work Wiskey!
    I will make a post so you remember for the DM this week! Because it’s important for the clan.

  177. SAPE says:

    Nice Wiskey.
    We work on email or google documents.
    Lame clan will stay alive. We work for it. Lets go. 🙂

  178. Biondo says:

    My interview to Zapata, was made through Google Documents, since Zapata chose this way to interact.
    I got interviewed by Mope and Sape by e-mail, if I remember.

    Nice you are making the step to restart interviews, Wiskey.

  179. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hey Biondo, great production, funny music & superb movie ​​slices. The last four dyna to the window (plonk, plonk, plonk, plonk) at the end make me very laughing. YMMD 🙂

  180. JesseJames says:

    Jippi and Biondo nice work, I post a comment in youtube. 🙂
    btw good music and nice trick jippi. Will you tell us how it work 😉

    • Biondo says:

      Sorry, Jesse, your comment in YouTube is lost, since I uploaded a new version of the video (just slightly corrected the timing). But i had read you comment before. Thanks!

  181. Biondo says:

    Thank you, SAPE!
    I told Jippie I would have posted it in *LAME* site, forgetting I’m not a *LAME* any more …
    Fun game, fun clan and fun Jippie!

  182. Biondo says:

    Hi, Lames.
    The always incredible and fun JippieYaYeah was caught while juggling in Canyon.
    I asked him to make a short video and here it is: http://boilerplate.altervista.org/node/475

    I would like to see it posted also in this site somewhere, but since I’m a ghost I can’t do it. Would you like to embed it in a new post yourselves?

    Jippie will be grateful 🙂

  183. Mope says:

    Looks like a treasure revealed. Sape, tell about the black knives, are those army-knives?

  184. JesseJames says:

    Wow nice page SAPE 🙂 LAME with knifes is very cool. 🙂
    I like the white-brown knife, beautiful handle (camelbone = epic 🙂 )

  185. SAPE says:

    The blade with a hole.
    It is an intresting knife. It name is Spirit. A famous Hungarian knife and sword maker made it.

    Look at this pictures:

    http://www.szasza.net/sub/spirit_en.htm

    The hole is made for you forefinger. It is a special handle, if you use it, it feels like it is a part of your body, like a claw.

    There are only 25 piece exist

    • Wiskey says:

      Do you know, is this Hungarian knife maker yet exist? If not, you have real treasure when you own that knife. It is very rare with only 25 knifes exist.

  186. SAPE says:

    The brown-white-brown handle knife is a damscened blade. The handle is rosewood and camel bone. Goood knife, good choice.

  187. Biondo says:

    I’d choose the bottom-left one.
    Nice post, Sape!

    • SAPE says:

      @Biondo: Nice choice! 🙂 It is my heritage, a swedish hunter knife, made in 1920. It was my grandfather’s hunter knife. The handle is made of leather.

  188. Wiskey says:

    It should be interesting battle, I tried to connect but my wlan decide to prevent my connecting.

  189. TheBishop says:

    Yes, the brown-white-brown is my favourite too. Is that handle made of bone and rosewood? Also the blade’s surface is interesting, is this damascened? The one next to it with the wooden handle is very nice too, seems finnish if I’m right. Beautiful collection Sape!

  190. Wiskey says:

    Knife with hole seems to be interesting.

  191. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yeaha, that’s a great LAME knives picture.

    It is legal to have so many knives?

    If i can choose a knife, i will take the handle with color brown-white-brown.

  192. JippiJaYeah says:

    My new background music for BB.

    Have Gun! 🙂

    Johnny Western -Ninenteen Men

  193. Mope says:

    Heh, I don’t know if there was a ClanMatch today, but there was epic clash of titans today on BB.

    Biondo, when I see you waiting for the prey behind the gatling, all focuse, it reminds me of this performance. Look at this guy in the middle, behind the washing machines. And remember: “Turn around!”

    • SAPE says:

      Yep, it was an epic fight. Some veteran cowboy played just for fun. I never forget this game. Thanx. 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      haha 😀 one of the funniest games ever. Pure fun! The saloon burning in New Town, people hung to the chandelier, Gatlings’s rhythms in the back, and humour in the air. Liberatory.
      Thanks for the game friends.

  194. JesseJames says:

    Indeed I have to keep an eye on a few kids, it will be fun…

  195. ZaPaTa says:

    Hi S, I think JJ can’t make it neither, and I’ll be late from work tonight, so probably cant make it too 🙁
    So bad 🙁 Hope to play soon with you all

  196. JesseJames says:

    Exactly, I don’t like cheaters but maybe he changed his life. maybe he need a second change?
    I don’t know it’s the first player that is not so clear who wants to join us. I find this difficult.

    • Biondo says:

      OK, maybe he changed his bad behaviour. At least he HAD to change it, after been banned, and after being accepted back when BallerBude got an anti-cheat system.

      I can imagine a possible threat here.
      As SAPE said, if he’ll enter the clan he will be a site administrator, that means he could eventually delete its whole content. There are many cheaters (or ex cheaters) around, banned by me, that certainly would be happy to take a revenge on me, damaging this site.

    • SAPE says:

      It isn’t so difficult: I undertake the decision: I vote AGAINST Pedro. That’s it.
      Maybe he changed his bad habit, but not every, maybe clear player (don’t know) must be become LAME member.

  197. Biondo says:

    Jesse, if he admits to have cheated (“in the first year of SG”), so he’s man I remembered, and expect him to cheat again whenever he will have the necessity and opportunity (of course not in Baller). This is a general rule amongst cheaters.
    And in any case, a cheater is *LAME* in the same way as Custer was an Indian.

  198. SAPE says:

    I am here and Mope is here too. Btw, who is Pedro? Are you know him? I played against him 2 or 3 time. Yes, he was likeable. We know him? No I think.
    Don’t forget brothers: LAMErs are equal. Every member has a login as admin. It is risky, isn’t it? There are lots of work in this homepage.
    “I just don’t know this Pedro enough to have an opinion about him.” as Mope said.
    And If he not able to wait, let him go.

    • Biondo says:

      I think he changed his alias, lately. But can’t remember how he is named now.

      • SAPE says:

        What can we know about him?

        • Biondo says:

          All I can do is a search in http://bb.game-host.org but results are confused and hard to read.

          I have a vague memory of a PedrO (written with uppercase O, like our man) that possibly was a cheater long time ago.
          But:
          1– I’m not sure my memory is correct
          2– Pedro is not an uncommon name amongst SG players

          In conclusion: nothing against him (apart the fact that he disappeared).

          • JesseJames says:

            He plays this game for a long time, had a lot of nicknames and clans. He cheated in his first year of SG. But he is one of the only Tunisian guys that is still in SG. He played more BankRobbery than DM but now JL is in crisis he plays more in BB.
            I have sometimes contact with him on facebook. And their he is friendly.
            One thing I don’t know if he will stay for a long time like we do. Or is it a stop and go guy. Maybe he have not the spirit of a real lamer, don’t know.

  199. Wiskey says:

    If I see other *LAMES* game, I will ask if they can vote now, so we get answered if Pedro is accepted.

    I don’t know if others don’t follow so actively that site, so maybe they don’t know from that.

    • Mope says:

      I just don’t know this Pedro enough to have an opinion about him. I refrain.

      • Wiskey says:

        OK Mope. I am played with him only 3-4 times and he was friendly. So I vote for him until I get know if he do something wrong.

        You have right stance Mope.

  200. JesseJames says:

    Btw guys the movie: Django Unchained from Tarantino is now in the cinema. I saw the trailer and he looks good, a must for every westernfan.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUdM9vrCbow

    • Mope says:

      Jesse, I saw the movie. What can I say? The first part is interesting, though exaggeratedly shallow, with some nice and visually strong scenes. The second part was so slow and even boring, based on psichodramatic struggle between Django and Stephen, the housekeeper, I simply had to quit.

      • JesseJames says:

        In Belgium they gave him 3,5 stars on a score of 5. So I taught it was a lot of fighting (like in the trailer) and a good story. But if the second part (normally the best part of a movie) is so slow i will think twice if I will watch him in the cinema.

  201. SAPE says:

    I moved Desconhecido to the “Former Members”. He joined his new clan, and play as XOP Cannonball.

  202. SAPE says:

    @Jesse: Today I played against Kate. She said he sent a mail, and still waiting for the answer. Please inform her. Thanx.

    • Biondo says:

      Just for your info: after 3 months, today, Kate asked me to be friends again. I was stupid enough to say “OK” (Sape was present, so he can testify). In next game (without Sape presence) she/he started to offend me again and to provoke me in any way (I got muted because of my answers, but I couldn’t resist to reply. I felt betrayed).

      I don’t think she/he deserves an answer.

      • ZaPaTa says:

        I understand you felt that way, sorry to hear this happened . It’s easy to make a game sick, too bad players like (s)he still play 🙁

      • SAPE says:

        @Biondo: Yes I was there. And you absolutly all right. But I think we would send him/her a mail. Is he/she deserve it? Absolutly NOOOO! But we are the LAME clan, we are correct, friendly clan, I think we must answer to the most offensive players too. We don’t heat them, we just walk a our way, play and live by our own rule.

        • Biondo says:

          You are right, SAPE.

          • JesseJames says:

            Huh I don’t had a mail from Kate (I think it’s girl btw 🙂 ) and every time I play with her she is muted :). So if anyone play with her I, can you respons to her that (s)he can’t join the clan, if (s)he have such language?
            Hope that I can play after the examns a lot, because I miss playing in BB. 🙂

            BTW have we an answer for Pedro? Because not everyone said his own meaning in this topic.

  203. JesseJames says:

    Hey everyone, I hope you enjoyed the DM in Circus Novus? Are their screenshots?
    I can’t play the next 2 weeks on thursday 🙁 Because I have a little job with a few kids. So you have to play without me.
    Enjoy the games and see you in game!

  204. JesseJames says:

    Only in China,… 🙂

  205. SAPE says:

    Good to hear it. I need some money. 🙂

  206. SAPE says:

    Ok, when a LAME play, he is polite and fair player. This is my experience too. Has somebody played against him in incognito?

  207. TheBishop says:

    I agree with Wiskey, what I’ve seen of Pedro is he’s a polite and good player. A Yes from me.

  208. SAPE says:

    Yep, in crisis, the people buy low cost tabacco and alcohol. I can rival against “multis” in quality, but I can’t in price, low cost.
    And Jippi, you all right: the cigar/cigarette are very expensive, so more and more peoples buy illegal, smuggled stuff. The cost of it is 40-50% of the legal products.

  209. JippiJaYeah says:

    The glitchy world becomes on google earth with their new 3D buildings function.
    Here are a view of the Los Angeles airport.

  210. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thought, if the population is not doing well, then at least they do without of alcohol and cigarettes.With the globalization like Spar, Lidl, Aldi, etc. it is for one companies hard to survive.

    Sape, i am with you with the thought and hope you will find a solution not to close you your shop.

    • Mope says:

      Jippi, from my humble experience, in crisis times people do not start healthier way of life. They just start buying cheaper and lower quality tobacco and alcohol. Just like food – more wealthier you are, you become more concerned about the quality of your food, not just hunger relief. As I understand, Sape’s shop is focused on luxury lifestyle, for people who appreciate good brand. Unfortunately, this is where most of people will try to cut their budget, when time comes to fasten the budget belt.

      • JippiJaYeah says:

        Mope, you’r right, in crisis times people do not start healthier way of life. That was, what i want to say, but i did it with bad declaration. Maybe” they just start buying cheaper and lower quality tobacco and alcohol” or buying illegal.

    • SAPE says:

      Thanx Jippi. 🙂

  211. Wiskey says:

    I vote for Pedro, what I am played with him, he is polite.

  212. JesseJames says:

    Can we do a vote for Pedro? Can he play for LAME? Or is he too insulting?

  213. JesseJames says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn3JB51NH_M
    Good westernsong about El Paso. 🙂

  214. JesseJames says:

    Hey SAPE, pff what a hard times for you. Also in Belgium is the crisis hard (but not so hard like in Hungary on this moment) The youth without a job is increasing. 🙁
    Hope that your job will survive the crisis, that your life will have a new boost. Maybe with a new wife, new friends and so on. It’s a pity that greyman and you have no contact anymore.Pff such a hard times nowadays.

    If you have problems or something you want to discuss you have my emailadress,jabber, and in game.
    You stay forever in LAME-clan! Know we will always be with you (only we live 1000 of km’s from eachother.

    nice

  217. Vincent says:

    guys, sorry. I had to go to jail I replaced my brotherright now I’m on a horse thank you always your Mštsute

    • Biondo says:

      I’m not sure I’m understanding right what you are saying, Vincent.
      If you really went to jail, I hope you are free now, or you’ll be free soon. And I wish you a better new year with all my heart!

  218. Sarah says:

    That’s sad to hear Sape. I wish you good luck with your business and hopefully things will improve.

    I can see that you are very dedicated and hardworking. I hope that if this doesn’t work out, you will have many more work/business opportunities ahead of you.

  219. TheBishop says:

    Szia Sape, nagyon sajnálom hogy ennyi rossz ért téged, de igazi harcos vagy, biztos vagyok benne, hogy ha valakinek, akkor neked sikerülni fog felállnod. Mope-nak teljesen igaza van, nagyon bátor dolog volt saját vállalkozásba fogni, és az így szerzett tapasztalatokat -és ami még fontosabb azt, hogy mered a saját álmaidat élni- senki sem tudja elvenni tőled. Ennek a dicsősége a tiéd, arról hogy nem úgy működik ahogyan kellene pedig nem te tehetsz, én sem akarok politizálni de úgyis tudod, hogy mire gondolok. Nem tudom voltál-e mostanában Pesten, régóta működő, most bezárt boltok sora mindenfelé. Sajnos semmilyen olyan konkrét tudásom nincs, amivel a hasznodra lehetnék, de tiszta szívből minden jót kívánok és tudom, hogy képes leszel újraépíteni az egzisztenciádat.

  220. Wiskey says:

    You and Grey aren’t anymore friends?. I know what you do feel now, i am also lost some of my friends on last years.

    When I have hard, I play SG with others or talk on here, it doesn’t replace humam friends, but it help if I feel lonely.

    I hope that you get new job soon, I got new job on 20.12.2012, but it ended yesterday. That is life.

  221. Wiskey says:

    Sad to hear, but that is problem in whole Europe, also in Finland. I understand you, it is depressive to lost family and job.

    Well, you have still Greyman friend.

    • SAPE says:

      Thanx Wiskey. I know it is problem in all Europe.

      Well, Grey and I moving away from each other. He and I have changed in many thing. He left us, and he intresting in other things that I am not intresting in, so I don’t keep in touch with him. Such is life….

  222. Wiskey says:

    Hmm I think that you can stay in *LAME* even if you play BR games. I play more dm games but if in Jeux has people, I play also in here, and even with *LAME* prefix, you know that.

  223. Mope says:

    I’m sorry to hear those news, Sape. But I really admire your courage to open your business in crisis times, something I have no guts to do. Many rich people have lost and earned their wealth again, it’s always a risk involved. What’s really priceless is an experience you’ve earned. Good luck, Sape, from all my heart.

  224. Biondo says:

    Sorry to hear such bad news from you, Sape. Why are you thinking that in 3-4 months you’ll have to close the shop? Not enough income?

    • SAPE says:

      @Biondo: My income is not enough to cover my cost.
      I don’t wanna blame the goverment, the politics, but the economy of my country is in a big “pit”.
      The wages are small, very small, so the customer make his/her decision form prices, and the smal companys can’t rival with the multinational companis, like Tesco, Lidl, etc. They are cheaper, it is a fakt.
      The multinational companis can expanding without any rule or limits. For example in my town (80.000 soul, so it is not too big), there are 1 Tesco supermarket, 3 Lidl supermarket, and 6-7 smaller supermarket (SPAR, MATCH). The taxes are high, the order isn’t good for the small companys, like my little Ltd. It is not just my problem, there are a lot empty premises.

      • Biondo says:

        OK, I don’t want you to talk about politics here. Better not.
        I’m asking myself if there’s something I can do for you.

        • SAPE says:

          Thanx Binodo. I don1t wanna talk about politics too, but I can’t answer your question without it.

  225. Fast_Romko says:

    Happy New Year to all gunslingers!

    Happy New Year guys/girl! I wish you all the best things in life. Good skills, much pleasure in life/and in the game a good health.
    greetings from Belgium!
    Jesse James

  228. Mope says:

    Happy New Year, friends! Hit all your targets in 2013.

  229. Biondo says:

    Descon, maybe you should consider to stay in LAME clan while playing most of the time BR. Maybe ZaPaTa and JesseJames, and other actual members will agree.

  230. Wiskey says:

    And now our clan has lost one member. I had funny when I played with you. I understand you, I like also from bank robbery but there is too competitive for me.

    I am depressed from your decision.

  231. JippiJaYeah says:

    Happy new year, cowboys.

  232. Wiskey says:

    Happy New Year for all.

  233. Desconhecido says:

    HAPPY NEW YEAr , and next year will be better then this one 🙂

  234. TheBishop says:

    Happy new year Sarah!/Onnellista uutta vuotta Wiskey!/Gelukkig nieuwjaar Jesse and ZaPaTa!/Frohes neues Jahr Jippi!/Shana tova Mope! (though it’s still 5773:)/Boldog új évet Sape!/Felice anno nuovo Biondo!/Feliz ano novo Desconheido!

    (In the english alphabetical order of languages)

    And a Happy new year to all!

  235. Biondo says:

    Happy New Year to the best of the best of best clans!

  236. TheBishop says:

    Hi Des, I’m deeply moved by your decision to leave the clan, and all I want to tell you is how much I appreciate you both as a very kind, funny and fair person and the kind of player whose skills always inspired me.

    No matter how much I would like to try to change your mind, I understand your point and as you are a conscious and intelligent young man, I respect you and accept your decision. They say the new year is the best time to start new things, and I wish you success and happiness in all things you start, both in game and in life.

    I won’t say goodbye because -as you’ve wrote in the title -Once lame, lame forever-, and I’m sure we will have many occasions to play and have fun together in SG.

    Sincere best wishes: TheBishop

  237. Desconhecido says:

    btw , i wish you all a happpy new year!

  239. Fast_Romko says:

    Howdy!

    Perhaps some old west gamers will be interested in true wild west board game “BANG!” 🙂

    http://www.dvgiochi.com/giochi/bang/?id=1

    Just have played this one in company of freinds. Lots of fun!

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Thank you Romko for the hint. I like these little kind of game card play.

      • ZaPaTa says:

        It’s a nice game, but a little more challenging, I personally think, is ; Revolver. It comes in two basic boxes (revolver 1 & 2, both separately playable) with some expansions. Game is for two players only and takes up to about 30min-45min.

        • Fast_Romko says:

          Thanks for your replies guys 🙂
          I have both Revolver 1&2 (and both expansions to 1 part ). Great game, great quality, great scenario. BUT main disadvantage of these games – they are all only for two players.

          • JesseJames says:

            yeah but it’s cool that it’s a game for 2 players because the most games are not for 2 players.
            But revolver is one of that great cowboy games!

          • Fast_Romko says:

            Have to agree with you James 🙂 In case of Revolver disadvantage turns into advantage 🙂 And Revolver games very nice in grafic and design.

            If someone knows any other cowboy board games, please, give me a hint.

          • ZaPaTa says:

            Sure, have a look for some more here. Few I know in it: Oregon, Anazi, Cowboys: way of the gun. There are a lot more, a friend of mine got a couple games for more than two players, some of them themed around the gold rush, or village settlement. Just can’t find the *freaking*name right now. Irritating 😀
            Also, one of my favorite publishers, GMT, announced the release (april 2013, i believe) of ‘Navajo Wars” a SOLITAIRE wargame, in a western theme. O joy!

          • Fast_Romko says:

            Thanks a lot, ZaPaTa!

    • Sam says:

      Hey can you get that western board game in the US? I’d like to see it on ontheboard.com

  240. JippiJaYeah says:

    Don`t find your last posting about worst ping on bb, so i write it here. After i gave you my q3config i see you in game with ping 20-30, that i think it`s now alright.

  241. JesseJames says:

    Hey I talked to Pedro today and yesterday on facebook. And we talked about the Islam and such a things.
    He is a friendly boy in my opinion since we talked about the diferences between a boy from the west and a boy from the east.
    So maybe we can follow him a bit ,he is a sg member for a long time.

  242. Barto says:

    Joyeux Noël ! (in french for the curious readers) I hope everybody here will have a nice day and Biondo will recieve his first Michelin’s star :-p

    Nice picture btw, but I don’t think it is the right time for Santa to be on the beach. We all asked a small gun under the tree. 😉

  243. SAPE says:

    Happy Xmas for all.
    I have disappeard in the last months. Starting an own business is a very difficult and complex thing (at least in the biginning), I must learn and work a lot, more than I thought. Even so I am still here, and I try to work and play more in the future, if my life will be return to normal.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Nice to hear that Sape that normal live begins again.
      Maybe you can tell something about you new business career.

      • SAPE says:

        Thanx Jippi!

        I will write some info about it in private part of the blog.

        • JesseJames says:

          indeed good to hear you SAPE! Hope everything gonna be alright in the bussiness?

          @Biondo Hope your food was very nice? 🙂

  244. Mope says:

    С Рождеством! (In Russian :))
    !חג מולד שמח
    Merry Christmas to all Lames!

  245. JippiJaYeah says:

    Fröhliche Weihnachten from Germany.
    Wish you all the best.

  246. Biondo says:

    Merry Christmas from Italy, nice players!

    Spent my whole day cooking for tomorrow lunch (we ‘ll be 15 persons, but I’m not the only cook luckily).

    The pic of Santa on the beach reminds me of the origin of the famous song “White Christmas”, by Irving Berlin. It seems that he wrote it after he was in California, and was missing the snow of the North.

    About St. Nicholas, it’s not celebrated in most part of Italy, but in the region where my wife was born, they were used to celebrate St. Nicholas too.

  247. JippiJaYeah says:

    Just for you information: BlackOpsII is nor nox-prophet or his brother (En-Fuego) . He and his brother are german.

    I can play on some Fridays but not that early as I am an hour behind.

    Depends what time I finish college 6/7pm is better for me

  250. Wiskey says:

    There is a tradition in Finland meet in Christmas meals with the family. in northern Europe we are in the position that we have yet reached spend a white Christmas in the cold. Now is the outside – 14 degrees.

    December 6 is the day of celebration, when we celebrate the Finnish independence.

    BTW Jesse, how you got this 10°c sign to message? Whats are keys for this?

    Happy Christmas all and a happy new year

  251. Desconhecido says:

    I wish u a merry christmas enjoy ur christmas day , in rela life or in SG :P.
    Hope u enjoy it like a *LAME* :).

  252. JesseJames says:

    Merry Christmas everyone!
    Hope you will have a lot of fun this year in SG, in personal live, a lot of happiness and a good health.

    Btw is there in your country’s a white christmas this year? In Belgium it’s now 10°c that is very hot for the time of the year!

  253. PedRO says:

    Desco come buller bude ?

  254. Desconhecido says:

    i know him a bit , and H2K dont exist anymore , he said to me that that clan was down because the players left completely the game for ever . and then i think he was alon and then he decided to leave the clan and still play Smokin Guns .
    He is a good player ,very good , he was , me and Jesse saw.
    But i dont remember if is a players of insults or not .
    We need to watch him a lot .. about that topic of insults.

    i see him more in bank robbery mores times then usualy but
    he also play deathmatch typ , but he have other name usually , that is Falcao .

    • JesseJames says:

      I talked to him on facebook a bit, and in game. Sometimes he is very friendly, but in JL I saw him sometimes insulting other players (when he was H2K-Pedro). But don’t know how much in BallerBude.
      But indeed he is a good player, his tunisian friends don’t play anymore (hooray 🙂 ).

    • TheBishop says:

      Yesterday when most of you (Descon, Mope, Sape, Jippi) were present Pedro joined the game too, he was kind and played well. He expressed to me that he would like to be present on the weekly DM. I told him I’m not sure if we will hold it this week, and to refer to the site. So if there will be a DM he will be present, which I think is good as we can get to know him better.

  255. TheBishop says:

    I would like to join your greetings Zapata and wish Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all who celebrate today: for those whom this day isn’t a festive I wish peace and happiness on this and every day of their life, a common goal for all of us, regardless of religion, culture or ethnicity.

    It seems like Belgium and Hungary have something in common when it comes to celebrating Christmas: just like at you, the 6th of December is the festive of Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, and on Cristmas eve, the small Jesus comes to catholic and an Angel comes to protestant children bringing them gifts. The 24th of December is the main festive day for the smaller family, we have a lunch together and we give presents to each other.

      Amazing Bishop, In fact it’s pretty logic their are other places who celebrate on dec.6th for Saint Nicolas if you think about it, yet I always thought it was something pretty local in Belgium and The Netherlands.
      Never knew Hungary knows that tradition too. Thinking about it, Orthodoxy is known for the devotion of its many saints, so probably they know that tradition too.

      • TheBishop says:

        Funny thing is I thought the same about it being a local custom in the region 🙂 I think St. Nicholas is also an important and popular folk Saint among catholic slovak people, there are many towns, villages and churches named after him. About Eastern Orthodoxy you must be right, a brief search brought me several pictures of beautiful icons.BTW, do you in Belgium know about the “Krampusz” (Krampen/Krampeln)? It’s a devil-like creature accompanying the Bishop, punishing bad children with whips 🙂

        • ZaPaTa says:

          Hey Bishop, I just recently heard that tale. In Belgium they aren’t Devil-like creatures. His ‘staff’ consists more of black ‘slaves’. There is recently some discussion about his crew. It is said they punish bad children by putting them in a sack. But most parents think this is a bit rash to tell to young children. Also most people think because the’re black AND his ‘slaves’ for a bit, this is some wrong thinking out of neocolonialism times that still lives on.
          BUt now I know they’re not black because they are black slaves, but because of hell-fire 😉 No neocolonial issues there 🙂
          Well, it’s all just colourful folklore!

          • TheBishop says:

            Oh, an interesting and indeed colorful custom there, never heard about it before, thx for sharing Zapa. I’m sure about that saints and slaveholders doesn’t have much in common, so the controversy is a bit funny:) (and a bit sad).

  256. Wiskey says:

    Our clan is very popular on these days. Now we have request from Pedro, that is also know as H2K-PEDRO!. He was in duel games, so somebody from clan has been seen him, but i don’t know him, and he has played in Baller on September, so he don’t be there so often.

    Also, i don’t know is he yet on H2K clan, maybe we have to ask he to play on baller, so we can follow him.

  257. PedRO says:

    im pedro from tunisia i wanna join lame clan cause i like it i have many names and most of players know me i play on buller bude and jeuxlinux aliases : Sope – Falcao – H2K-Pedro!
    and i played for many clans 🙂

  258. Wiskey says:

    Hmm. Monday evening is better if it is after 19 o’clock.

  259. PedRO says:

    i wanna join Lame Clan 🙂 answer me as soon as possible 🙂

  261. ZaPaTa says:

    Any demo’s somewhere?

    • Desconhecido says:

      zapata , i dont know because we did the scores by screenshoots .
      But i will ask them if it have some demo and then i will try to post in here :).

  262. ZaPaTa says:

    Great to read, I went over to JJ last night so I saw i bit of the fight. Muffin IS outstanding, but nonetheless *LAME* scored amazing amongst those great fighter, very nice.

    “He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious. ” Sun Tzu

    That’s why I didn’t play. No chance 😀

  263. ZaPaTa says:

    OK, too bad. But what about the idea?
    How about monday evening? Start the week in style 🙂
    Also, you don’t have to attend every week…

    • TheBishop says:

      I definietly like this idea and share your wish to play more together: it’s always nice, challenging and fun. I don’t know my schedule from february yet, but I will be as flexible as I can and I’m sure we can figure out something ideal for all.

  264. Desconhecido says:

    Well guys , thr duel match over 🙂 , the winner of the match was !NuB!Muffin , but the lames gave a lot of fight we ended on the last group , 2 round of groups , that is very good to us 🙂 .
    The players that went to the 2nd round of the groups was:
    ricochet
    pedro
    muffin
    dike
    whisky
    desco
    jessejames

    i dont remember if whisky pass but ok 😛 .

    i enjoye a lot , and i think jesses james also . 🙂

    Btw sarah, did u ever talked to ricochet?

    • JesseJames says:

      I’am happy with my 4th place in group 1. I think we made LAME proud. 2 lame’s in group 1 (so the best 7 shooters of the day 🙂 ). But Muffin was outstanding!
      Yep I loved the game, was very different of the TDM in august, it was terrible :).

  265. Desconhecido says:

    for me is also impossible , because school time on friday i got 1 class of that time of meeting 🙁 .
    just have that day , in freedays , hoolidays…

  266. Mope says:

    Unfortunately, I can play only on half of those Friday games, mostly because once in two weeks I visit my parents , on Friday evening.

  267. Wiskey says:

    I have not played Black ops II with so I do not know him, I am not saying anything yet. I have to get to know him in the game.

    As others have already said, Biondo, I’m glad that you returned to the top of the Navigation. I did not like it that the visitors also saw private comments.

  268. Wiskey says:

    Good idea, but at 4 o’clock is too early for me. I would suggest therefore the 8 o’clock Finnish time, which is 7 Central European Time.

  269. ZaPaTa says:

    Why is there a Dashboard- tab in the menu? We don’t need it, or did someone put it there? If not, I’ll delete it from the menu…

    Brave cowboys, I wish you a lot of succes, go for it!
    But no Sarah?

  271. JippiJaYeah says:

    Looks also like Total Recall.
    Total Recall

  272. TheBishop says:

    The disfigured Mario looks like a Francis Bacon portrait.

  273. Desconhecido says:

    That can be true , he said to me that he was his brother .
    for me now is no , why? Because h have been muted about 2 times in 2 days , i dont remember what he have said , but sure it was bad words, to get some muted in .
    For me now is no . but i will still go following him , if he changes his behave or not .

  274. Desconhecido says:

    Here are the groups of it:
    Group 1 (parttimegeeks.net:27560):
    ricochet
    pedro
    smile
    sunrise
    myrmidonas
    muffin
    timequest

    Group 2 (parttimegeeks.net:27660):
    the doc
    dike
    pipof
    whisky
    desco
    jessejames
    brian

    rico – Whoever still wants to join on short notice, talk to me in #jeuxlinux in the Quakenet IRC network before 7pm CET. u still have time to register 🙂

    • JesseJames says:

      Damn our opponents are very strong. 🙂

      • Desconhecido says:

        yes 😛 , but the *LAME* ´S dont will let them win 😀 .
        We still got a chance to win :). besides i think the group I i is harder , as i know them . i think that 🙂

  275. JippiJaYeah says:

    AFAIK was the Location of -nox-prophet Kamnik, Slovenija and
    BlackOpsII location is Germany.

    I don`t think that -nox-prophet is the brother of BlackOpsII, as BlackOpsII told us in game.

    • TheBishop says:

      Given the high numbers of economic immigrants from the eastern countries of EU going to Germany and Austria with their families there might be a chance of what he says is true. I’m more puzzled by two things: 1) he’s obviously a pro-player, knows the tricks, knows the maps, but has virtually no history except for the claim of being the prophet’s brother? 2) if i remember correctly he asked Biondo if he isn’t a LAME anymore and why he left the clan, which would be a strange question, not to mention his “are you gay?” outburst. I’m not against him, but I can’t get a clear picture of him.

      • JippiJaYeah says:

        Didn’t know about that coversation of economic immigrants.

        • TheBishop says:

          Sorry Jippie, I just mentioned it as a hypotethical scenario, there was no conversation, I think it’s just a possible explanation.

          • JippiJaYeah says:

            Your mention could be right, because his last name “kocabacak” suggest it.

      • Biondo says:

        You are perfectly right, TheBishop, in all your sentences.
        He asked me why I’m no Lame, so he doesn’t play since long time. He is a pro player, so it’s strange he has no history.
        He could be -nox-Prophet trying to play in disguise (all Prophet in BB database are German. You have to search with “Include aliases” ON).

        In conclusion: I think he is -nox-Prophet, that he is playing under a false name. For the history, his greeting to me was literally “Are you gy, Biondo?” and not “Are you gay, Biondo”. Was he trying to avoid censorship or did he misspelled another word?

        As Mope told to me yesterday in Jabber “LAME clan is not about skills” it’s more about a fun and honest playing. I had big esteem of Prophet, but his recent behaviour is quite puzzling.

        • JesseJames says:

          Why he will tell us that he is his brother? Did he something wrong in the past in SG Biondo. I can’t find an other solution to that problem.
          Indeed the clan is about the spirit of equal not for his talent too shoot fast. If I play against him I will ask him a few questions.

  276. JesseJames says:

    Hmm don’t know the guy “blackops2”, the way he introduce himself is a bit strange. But we can follow him, if he is so good. (on a legal way 🙂 )

    @Biondo great great great btw you have now more than 1000 comments on the site 🙂

    Have yourself a merry little christmas guys/girl!!

    • ZaPaTa says:

      I would love to see some new, active blood, in *LAME*. But you know I don’t like those unclear, doubtful players with something to hide. How many chance is their you name yourself -nox- without knowing of the excistence? Come on!?
      I’m very doubtful, so let’s follow him up, see if he plays active (sorry, ironic to say from me who’s only playing on thursdays 🙁 )
      and fair, and than decide next…

  277. JesseJames says:

    No it’s a 1 VS 1 competition. You have to fight against other players but there is only 1 person on your map at the time. If you win the fight you earn points.

  278. Biondo says:

    I’ve put a “Recent comments” block on right column that (also to anonymous visitors!) displays only comment author and post title, but NOT the content of the comment. I think it’s OK for the site; if you think otherwise, please, disable the “Recent comments” widget here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/widgets.php

    • Mope says:

      Thanks a lot, biondo, it slves the problem and we still have that nice widget on. hey-hey, you saved the world today.

      • Biondo says:

        Thanks, Mope!
        I saved the world yes, but yesterday not today. I annihilated Maya’s prediction.

        You know, this site is a creature of mine, I have to follow its development.
        Just for history: I’ve just deleted 133 spam comments blocked by Akismet in last 10 days, and upgraded 10 plugins. Now I can go to sleep.

      • JippiJaYeah says:

        Why did nobody say that private message in the right column could seen by everybody?
        And why we have it to discuss it on the players request page?
        For those problems, please use the Dashboard (now find in the secret section).

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      I hate that damm wordpress security. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Biondo says:

        When I chose WordPress for LAME site I knew it was limited when compared to other CMSs, but I chose it because it’s more easy to use, particularly by not tech editors.
        If I had to choose now, I’d choose Drupal.

        Love it or hate it, you have to make compromises with any CMS you adopt.

  279. Biondo says:

    I removed the comments block.

    I have to explain again why RSS were disabled and why I hadn’t activated “recent comments” on the site.

    WordPress has some limits, so to build a private area I had to install a plugin.
    To make it short, this plugin is buggy, and its developer didn’t answered to my complaints about “privacy” holes.

    I hope that for the future, before installing a new plugin, before making a block visible, you test its behaviour also with private posts.

  280. TheBishop says:

    I’ve just realised that among the “recent comments” the ones written to secret threads like this appear too. While everyone here shows a kind and professional approach to requests could something be done to keep the messages hidden, as I think it serves the privacy of both us and the applicants?

    As for the applicant Descon and I had a brief chat with him this afternoon when he seemed reasonable and asked for instructions to join. He also scored unbelievably, 4 or 5 headshots in a row and so on. By the evening as Biondo observed he was very strange, I wonder if he was affected by something? Yes, about the -nox- thing he said his brother was a member.

    • Biondo says:

      I know that private comments appear in side column, this is why I didn’t activated it, and this is why I warned about the problem long time ago. I haven’t activated it. Whoever did it (probably) should remove it.

  281. Biondo says:

    WOW, accelerated time. OK, already done 🙂

    I asked him in game:

    He is NOT -nox-Prophet. He didn’t even knew of the existence of a -nox- clan (but he also said that his brother was a -nox- if I remember. Jippie and TheBishop were present, so probably they remember better than me).
    The first question he asked to me was: Are you gay?
    TheBishop said it wasn’t a good way to enter *LAME* clan (and he was temporarily auto-muted). Thanks TheBishop, anyway 🙂
    I also got a warning while saying “I’m not gay”. LOL.

    In the end, you have to decide. Hahahah.

    • Mope says:

      Strange, cause he’s got that alias -nox-Prophet. Anyway, let’s observe him, but my first impression he’s got childish behavior.

      Didn’t know “gay” is restricted word on BB. You should say – “I’m heterosexual”, Biondo.

      • Biondo says:

        I MADE “gay” a restricted word when I was admin in Baller, since it’s always used as a racist offense 🙂
        Usually when they ask me if I’m gay, I answer “Yes, I’m gay, black, jew, and I’m a girl. Anything to object?”.

        About -nox- alias, I suppose he inherited the PC of -nox-Prophet.

  282. Biondo says:

    I have to inform you …

    I see you’ve received a request from BlackopsII to join the clan.
    Searching Baller Bude site, it seems that BlackopsII is an alias for -nox-Prophet.

    Prophet was THE BEST member of the glorious -nox- clan.

    I played against BlackopsII today, and I have to say that his score was outstanding.

    I suppose you have to ask something to BlackopsII:

    1– Are you actually the well known, long time missing, excellent player, -nox-Prophet?

    2– Why have you changed your name?

    3– Why would you like to join *LAME* clan?

    4– Have you read our rules?

    Next you have to decide (I would suggest in strict time) about him.

    If in doubt about his identity, ask to TheDoctor for enlightenments.

    I think I’m interested. Is a duel match where all the players spawn together in a small area and you have to kill everyone?

  286. JesseJames says:

    This is awesome! :p Mario FTW

  287. MsH says:

    There is another trick.
    Jail’s corner where you can find barrels,
    jump on it and then you are able to jump on the jail’s roof 😛
    (I have set there clip brush which makes you able to do that.)

    Second one requires helper.
    Sheriffs office rooftop, use the stairs behind the office.

  288. ricochet says:

    Yo lameos!

    Since you have moved your weekly rumble to CN and (as i observed) you’d like to play some rounds of DM too, i gave the rcon of CN to Desco.

    Feel free to use it at will on Thursdays between 8.00 and 12.00 pm CET – you own the server for that time. If you like, i can tweak the config a bit, so you can switch to a DM cycle and back to a TDM cycle with one command.

    Connect to #jeuxlinux or #wr.clan on quakenet if you have any questions.

    regards
    ricochet

  289. JesseJames says:

    Tomorrow it’s so far, a new thursday a new chance to win the game! See you all @20u30 in circus novus

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, fun post and nice find ZaPaTa. I didn’t know the project, and I think I will post some of their works in Boilerplate too.

  294. JesseJames says:

    Nice picture, I will be there too 😉
    Tnx Anonymous to visit our site and that you will play with us. 🙂

  295. Anonymous says:

    I’ll be there, yeah I would like to play tdm and dm

  296. ZaPaTa says:

    What! I won the first round! No screen of that epic score!?
    Thanks for the upload, I feel like I have to do over that score one again to make sure we’ll have some proof of it 😀

    Thanks Jippi

  300. JippiJaYeah says:

    Didn’t know if somebody played today,
    but due to the fact that TN will not come back,
    we have to find a new playground.

    • Mope says:

      Jippi, we played at Circus Novus.

      • JippiJaYeah says:

        Ok – nice, and where are the results? 😉

        • Sarah says:

          I tried to put the results up but I cant do it.

          First I uploaded the pictures and didn’t crop them so I deleted them all and uploaded the cropped ones.

          But when I insert the url into the post it inserts the old ones.
          🙁

  301. JesseJames says:

    So it’s tonight boys and girls that we fight until we die!

  302. JippiJaYeah says:

    WOW, thanks ZAP, that´s a lot and some parodies a very funny.
    And now here is some more too. 🙂

  303. ZaPaTa says:

    Ha! Nice to have our original Parody on the Keep Calm poster 🙂
    But indeed, this design goes way back, and so do the parodies on it.
    Have a look on this pinterest searcj

  304. JippiJaYeah says:

    I saw this picture in the last few days with title “Keep calm and call the wolf” and thought the title was from a origin quote of Pulp Fiction. But the picture was made for the Celebrating 20 Years of Quentin Tarantino`s “Pulp Fiction”.

    Now i’m also get some history lesson from Biondo, thank you. 😉

  305. JesseJames says:

    An epic poster Jippie, with the blood. 🙂 I saw the poster this week but it was also a parody on the real poster. But don’t know the history about it.

  306. Biondo says:

    “Keep Calm and Carry On was a propaganda poster produced by the Government of the United Kingdom in 1939 during the beginning of the Second World War, intended to raise the morale of the British public in the event of a Nazi invasion of Britain. It had only limited distribution, and thus was little known. The poster was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of products.”

    “Doctor Who”?

  308. JippiJaYeah says:

    You know from which movie is the original quote, do you?

  309. ZaPaTa says:

    Too bad TN was down but it was FUN!

    we played some quick TDM, *LAME* vs All!
    Personally, I liked it more than most games of past weeks,
    so that’s good 🙂

    We missed SAPE nonetheless. Too much beer? Could be
    We missed JJY too. Too much late nights? Could be
    And Vince! Too much Vodka? Probably!

    Anyway, thanks for games all!

  310. JesseJames says:

    Well done Jippie :p

  311. JippiJaYeah says:

    Sorry, i fell asleep!

  312. Sarah says:

    I will be there too

  313. JesseJames says:

    OK tonight it is in Circus Novus because Terra Nova is down (for this moment) 🙁

  314. Desconhecido says:

    I will be there 🙂 .

  315. JesseJames says:

    Nice picture Jippie, again. Hope i will not that guy in the front. :p I will be there with ZaPa.

  316. TheBishop says:

    Speaking of ghostbooks maybe it’s time to rename Biondo to another wise and artistic italian, Prospero 🙂

  317. Biondo says:

    Oops, sorry. I was searching for the ghostbook.

  318. Bart says:

    nice!

    I look forward to playing with you

  336. TheBishop says:

    Hello Zapata, it’s a pleasure to meet you both as a person and the founder of the *LAME* clan.
    Btw, I remember playing with you as a new player, and you were very far from being bad skilled. 🙂 I’m looking forward to meet you on the field again.
    Viva Zapata, Viva Lames!

  337. Desconhecido says:

    they , guys just a question , we now need to say to kate no?
    She/he asked me about it if she/he could join . what i should say to her , no , right?

    Huges
    Descon!

    • Mope says:

      Yes Descon, please inform Kate (if she asks) that her apply to the clan membership has been rejected.

  338. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice to read from you Bishop, welcome to our little *LAME*Clan.
    greetings from Belgium to Hungary, you’re not the first from that nation, but so far they all made perfect *LAME* players,
    good to have some fresh blood running through the site,
    feel free to add any topic and ask anything you’ll need to know.

    For example, credits for the site goes to Biondo, Jippie and probably some other people. (sorry guys :D) I’m Zapata, Clan founder, but beside that, I’m very bad skilled and currently not that much playing for now. (but soon more I’ll promise 🙂

    Have a nice time and stay active. This site is our backbone, as you’ll feel.

    haw i can call admins

  340. TheBishop says:

    Thank you for your nice comments, I’m very happy to be among you friends. 🙂

  341. JippiJaYeah says:

    Be happy, die hard – welcome to the *lame*s.

  342. Wiskey says:

    Welcome to Hungary. Hope you have funny with us. Investigate in peace our site.

  343. SAPE says:

    Welcome! 🙂
    Isten hozott. Örülök, hogy itt vagy. 🙂

  344. Mope says:

    Welcome to the Cozy Little Family of the LameClan!

  345. TheBishop says:

    Hello All and thank you Biondo for the kind welcome!
    First, I would like to thank you all for putting your trust in me, it is a real honor to be part of the *LAME* clan. Even this site is breathtakingly professional, I felt like a child in a candy shop reading through the topics. Altough I’m not at your level of skill, I hope i can contribute to your community.
    As a short way of introduction, I’m a 23 years old guy from Budapest, Hungary learning International relations and Political science at a local university. This also means that unlike some of you I’m technologically illiterate, and i swear if will stay as far from administrative pages as i can 🙂 Well, this introduction is already too long, so i close it but feel free to ask questions if you are interested in anything about me.
    P.S.: Sorry about that childish nick with goats, I will stay at the more respectable “The Bishop” 🙂

  346. ReDH@wK says:

    hi all can someone help me i wont to join clan lame
    but i dont know the admin
    plz help

  347. The Bishop says:

    Thank you very much Jesse and All! I can’t wait to play together with you guys (and most probably die a dreadful death due to your skills, but that’s the way it goes). 🙂

  348. JesseJames says:

    I’am Happy to see you here Bishop. 🙂 We can now add you to our teamlist, make an account for you,…
    Hope you like it very much and just enjoy it.

  349. JesseJames says:

    I asked it yesterday if he want to join our clan, and he said YES. 🙂
    After that I asked if he could play always with the same name, also for that point he said yes. 🙂
    So right now we have a new member. 🙂

    Ready for a new start?

    BTW: who can send Bishop a mail for his account? Mine emailadress is hacked,…

  350. Wiskey says:

    Bishop asked if he can join to Lame, so can I say yes for him? It seems all accept him, though there is some problem with his nickname.

  351. The Bishop says:

    Dear Lame Clan members,
    I’ve always enjoyed playing with you on BB and I would be most honored if I could join your clan. Altough I’m not the best gunslinger around, I agree with your rules wholeheartedly and I would try to contribute by my means to your great community.

  352. Wiskey says:

    My main game computer’s wlan broken, so i play now on my laptop. Only problem is that game is boring on little screen.

  353. ZaPaTa says:

    That all sounds very promising SAPE. Just don’t think about yourself you’re the only one to carry the load, that would be wrong. We all play our part.
    What is going in personally, with me is the following:
    I’m playing on a computer that stands at the end of my living. This is because it’s actually like a TV for me. So aiming isn’t that good at all and I recently discovered it’s almost impossible for now to become any better. That’s very demotivating. (but I’m planning to buy a second PC, so that will be solved by newyear)
    Second, I have a lot going on, and with the moving out last year, I’m still building up a certain routine, trying to give SG a place in this new life. But without players, most of the time, its also very demotivating to give it a place, you see.
    It’s like a rolling stone, if one stops playing, another stops because there is no one online…I don’t think *LAME* only can stop this from happening on the server.

    So for now, I’m very happy to play our regular DM matches on a Thursday. That’s the core for our clan right now, as long as we keep that appointment, their is this gathering where we link up.

    Besides the In-game, I’m always curious about what IS going on in real life.
    Maybe we should look for POWPOW, in which we can discuss what we would like to tell about our personal lives?
    The clan is SG, but there is also a friendship and a genuine interest involved, or so it feels for me.
    For example, we don’t know who is who, how we’re looking in real life! But that’s to discuss.
    A more personal approach could also be a saver for the clan, i think.

    And besides all this, I still love the game when I play it. Bad thing is, I can’t make much time free to AND participate in the site and grahpics AND play frequently enough. There is time for one of them, from time to time.
    Please don’t ask for more, that I can’t give. This is a game, please don’t lose that out of sight…

    Sincerely,
    ZaPa

    • SAPE says:

      Zap, there is no any required think. If you have some freetime, plase make a post, or just come and give some feedback, like now you do. We are brothers, I think, and equal.
      I have no many freetime. You know, I mada my own business, an ltd. I have a little tobacco shop, I am the shop assistant too. I don’t wanna be offensive. The real life is the first, of corse. But if you have some freetime, please help me.

      My PC is alive again, so I will come back to BB soon. 🙂

  354. SAPE says:

    At first I like to make a new topic name: “Knife is always loaded”. I like to write some post about the knife of the wild west, the bowies and the nessmuk, etc. Of corse I like to continue the firearms topic too.
    @wiskey: I like to see your pictures, or nice nature-photos, that you made. Be brave.
    And I like to ask it every members.
    I think the pioneers were the first real Bushcrafters of the world. So I think I make a natural life topic with some tips and tricks. There are lot of old techniques derived the pioneers.
    What is your opinions?

  355. Biondo says:

    @sape: the link? Sure? Well, I’ll do. Thanks.

  356. Biondo says:

    Indeed, bad times for SG and LAME clan, but the clan is still alive at least in Baller Bude, so there’s hope.
    About the site: Good to see that not everybody is asleep 🙂
    Sape, of course I agree if you post something! I would be happy if everyone amongst you posted something.

  357. JesseJames says:

    Hey indeed last time I had less time to play with work for school etc. But now I have vacation i can play more.
    It’s crisis indeed in game, but BB have always players in the server and that is good.
    It’s a pity for Jeuxlinux that it’s nearby dead hope it will change in the future.

  358. Mope says:

    Dear Sape, keeping the clan life alive isn’t just about graphics. Every interesting post involving SG thematic is welcome. Just don’t hesitate to post everything that comes up on your mind.

    Sorry for being less involved lately, but it comes and goes, every descent will be followed by rising.

  359. Wiskey says:

    You are right Sape, our activity is decreasing, I fear that pure DM is boring for somebody. Yes you can do new posts and edit page, unfortunately, i am not familiar with WP so I can’t help you.

    But if you want, I can try make some posters with Gimp or PSE 6, i use them for image manipulation but i am not professional.

  360. SAPE says:

    Very nice Biondo. Congratulation.
    Please paste link it in the homepage of LAME-site, on the links menu.

  361. Biondo says:

    ZaPa, thanks. Not sure I/we’ll get lot of visitors, I’m not even sure it’s a good idea, but it was something I had in mind since long time, and I announced it here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/old-west-photographs-u-s-national-archives/

    ” … this is a first post about online resources for old photographs. If you know of other interesting sources, please leave a comment or make a new post …”

    About a shorter URL, I’m not satisfied whit the free hosting service, but I don’t want to spend money for something in which I don’t want to invest too much energies. And I never liked .tk, you know 😉

  362. ZaPaTa says:

    As I told Biondo before, this could be a huge site for artist who need research. Really hope you’ll getting a lot of folks passing through. Plans of making a nice URL (like boilerplate.com?)
    Love the concept, but u know 😉

  363. JesseJames says:

    very nice Biondo, and see also that mope added a few things. Some of them are realy nice. Really good SITE! Keep the good work.

  364. Biondo says:

    Thank you very much, Jippi!
    Not sure I’ve understood what a splinterguard cream is, though …

  365. JippiJaYeah says:

    So Biondo, that is now your underground project. 😈
    Very very very nice – i like it.

    btw: My boilerplate is a splinterguard cream. |D

    Jippi

  366. JesseJames says:

    Hehe biondo I taught already what is he saying (about the goats 😉 ). OK if anyone see him you can ask it to him.
    Btw tnx biondo for your ghost reaction. :p

  367. JesseJames says:

    OK I think that everyone is against Kate. And for The Bishop. But I will that he take one name, so everyone recognise him. If you like that idea?

    • Biondo says:

      I think it’s a good idea, Jesse. If he plays with the name “The man who fucks goats” (just in Spanish language) as he does, that wouldn’t be a well looking *LAME* name.

    • Biondo says:

      I want to be clear.
      Of course you decide about Bishop, not me, but my previous comment could be misunderstood.
      I love Bishop, he always behaved like a sports and fun player, he will be an awesome *LAME* member.
      This is why I haven’t said anything about him before.
      Sorry for my ghost presence.

  368. JippiJaYeah says:

    My humble opinion: Do vote for theBishop and do not vote for Kati. I played in the last days with theBishop and Katie and had some conversation with both. TheBishop is very nice, defends the *lame*clan; Katie insulted me (she didnt know me as former *lame*).

  369. Biondo says:

    UPDATE: the messages were marked as spam by Gmail. 🙁
    Sorry.

  370. Biondo says:

    Have to inform you that I don’t get email notifications for new content/comment any more. [READ UPDATE ABOVE]
    It happens since I’ve recreated Jippi’s account. Don’t know if someone else had been affected by the same problem lately.

    This is the a well known problem that exists in all Altervista sites, since the server limits the number of emails sent per second.
    There’s nothing you can do to solve problem apart using an external mail service (Gmail, a single account for all) to act as a redirecting gateway (receives the email and redirects it to all members).
    Jippi knows, he already set it in past times for Sarah and Wiskey.

    I’ll try to follow the blog anyway, but in case of problems the best you can do is to contact me via e-mail (sg.biondo [at] gmail [dot] com) or Jabber.

    Keep an eye on spam, there’s a lot of coming! Luckily until now it gets archived as spam from Akismet service (and I empty the spam folder from time to time), but you never can tell …

  371. JesseJames says:

    I loved the games very much today, only good players = good matches. 🙂 Was happy with my score (also from the other lame guys/girl)
    Thanks everyone for the great evening.
    (ZaPa you missed something 😉 )

  372. Desconhecido says:

    well i like bishop , as u said , he is friendly , and i think it aswell . for me YES .
    About kate , i dont see her a in game when im there , but if u see that she insults , then for me is No , i think insult dont envolve in this clan . 🙂
    i Like more bishop then kate aswell . 🙂

    • ZaPaTa says:

      We got to make a decision. I’m against Kate (because of being offensive) and Bishop got a YES from me. I don’t know him, but I’ll trust you all on this one.

  373. Desconhecido says:

    gooa fight , really was , next time i want to get more score 😛 :P.
    But well played guys 🙂 .

  374. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thank you for the interesting deathmatches.

  375. JesseJames says:

    Hehe Thanks Jippi to remind us. =)

    Btw nice poster.

  376. JesseJames says:

    Hey, I think bouth is ok for me, here or in game.
    @wiskey this page is not visible for everyone. We can say that we are full, etc.

    Btw i like the bishop very much, he is always friendly/funny. He is also a good player, maybe we can take him if you like him.
    I like him more then Kate.

  377. Mope says:

    Since there are evidences of offensive behaviour, the apply is rejected, I understand? Will we answer Kate here (at “Recruitment” page) or in game?

    • Wiskey says:

      I think that it’s better say in game, because here it is visible forever. I don’t want that all knows why we don’t take Kate.

  378. Biondo says:

    Do you want my opinion? She’s just the kind of trouble maker I would never like to see in a good clan.

  379. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    Kate is an offensive player, if this is that Kate, I meet.

  380. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thank very much all, Biondo makes a new account for me, so i’m up to date and get new messages now.

    BTW Biondo, i’m ghost in BB Recorded Demos list.
    Now you can call me: no info yet 😉

    Sorry about losing John.

    Jippie

  381. Wiskey says:

    I met Kate first time yesterday, I remember that she said something for Biondo, but I don’t be sure if it was insulting.

    Yes, she is pretty new, I think that we follow him for couple of weeks before we decide if we take him.

  382. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys/sarah we have a new recruitment her (i think so) name is Kate.
    I think this is here account http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=1279&config=0

    i don’t know her very much but I think I saw her insulting other players, and that is something I/We really hate.

  383. Anonymous says:

    Hi!I’m Kate and I want to join a clan.

  384. ZaPaTa says:

    Yes, of course JJY needs an account.
    So please, re-activate. If I know how, I would do it myself.

    That’s a very promising idea of rejoining and both of you are welcome anytime (and so is Grey and others 😉 ) but no pressure. I’m sure you two would make a nice ‘push’ to keep the clan more active and competitive, and also, on a personal level – i would probably play a bit more too 😀

  385. Wiskey says:

    I accept also new account for Jippi.

  386. Wiskey says:

    I am depressed from your leaving. It seems that clan’ s members decrease in number all the time. That is sad.

  387. JesseJames says:

    Like always 8u30 in TerraNova

  388. Sarah says:

    I cant play tonight I’ve already made plans.

    Have a good game

  389. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    My PC still broken. I can’t play today.Sorry.

  390. Desconhecido says:

    im IN , my school require a little of work , but i got some time in afternoons , just in tuesday is more dificult for me , but the rest of the days is ok 🙂

  391. Mope says:

    Call the time!

  392. ZaPaTa says:

    Yep, I’m in, would like to do some TDM too!
    Maybe a duel too?

  393. Slowly John says:

    Thank you @all for the great time in the Clan!!!

    but that’s not the end …we remain friends and we’ll see you in game!!!

    http://youtu.be/F2U4vhTUoUY
    …your slow

  394. Jippi says:

    Thank you SAPE for your impress words and the nice graphics.
    And yes, i think the same about likely opponents and not enemy.
    Its easier to work in the background as in front like Biondo it does.
    And i’m sorry that i didn’t see your post earlier, but my email address
    was deleting, so i don’t get any information about new posts.

    BTW: Maybe somebody could re-account me?

    BTW1: @Biondo: Yes, its worth to think about rejoining.

    • Biondo says:

      I’m the ghost, sorry if comment here, but Jippi deserves an answer. The problem is that probably no Lame knows how to answer to his question: “Maybe somebody could re-account me?”

      Jippi, you’ve deleted your account. If you want to be informed about new posts you need a new account (RSS feeds are disabled, as you know, since there is no way to avoid that private posts get published in RSS feed).

      I can’t recreate an account for you. But if *LAME* clan asks I’ll do it.
      Greyman account wasn’t deleted after he left the clan, I still have an account for administration, so I think that you should have an account too.

      Please, *LAME* give me an answer, and I’ll activate a new account for Jippi. A *LAME* is always a *LAME*, also when he leaves the clan, do you remember? Please Jippi, send me your email address at sg.biondo [at] gmail [dot] com.

    • Mope says:

      Sure, Jippi’s account must be restored. Out of appreciation of all his great contribution for Lame clan, and looking forward for future cooperation. Biondo, please, reactivate Jippi? Unfortunately I saw his reply only now. Maybe other members missed it too? Anyway it was Jippi’s decision to inactivate his account, so if he wants to reactivate it, it shouldn’t be a problem.

  395. Biondo says:

    Slow, welcome in the land of ghosts.
    bb, nice friend.

  396. SAPE says:

    Hi Bros!

    @John: I am so sorry. You are one of the clearest, joyfull member of the clan. I have never forgotten you.

    @Zap and Jesse: Maybe our activity in the game is not enough. Not just your, my activity too. I think we must do something, or the clan will come apart sooner or later….

    I think we must talk about it but not here (in this post), and not now. I started my our business (an Ltd.) some days ago, so I have a lots of work. I will write a post on the weekend and we would talk about the future, and discuss our ideas, not just you and I, all of lame mebers. I think it is not the good way.

  397. SAPE says:

    Ty Biondo. 🙂

  398. JesseJames says:

    Ok slowly, I played with you today (maybe for the last time 🙁 ). Also for me their are also a lot new things with school, so i play only a few times in the week.
    Zapa i miss also the times with you @18 o’clock to play a bit. 🙂

    Slowly we gonna miss you 🙁

  399. ZaPaTa says:

    Hi Slow,
    Thanks for the fun games,
    Thanks for the funny stories and great talks we had.
    I remember funny stuff on old movies and early computer games.
    Too bad you decided to go, I think we could learn to know each other a little better, but we never managed to comment and discus regularly enough with each other. So this doesn’t come as a surprise, yet it’s sad news.

    On a personal level, with the moving-out of last year, my regular scheme of play isn’t like it used to be, because of being busy in the household :(. I’m also almost only playing on our clan-evening, and I really miss the good old days for a half an hour of gameplay, pure pleasure and distraction. I wished I had a little bit more time to play with all these beautiful people.
    Thanks Clan for being there, all members that left and all current members. I hope we manage to stay active enough to survive, despite mine, and other, absence.

    Tnx again Slow.

  400. JesseJames says:

    Tnx 🙂

  401. Mope says:

    thanks a lot, Guardian Angel!

  402. JesseJames says:

    Have fun Mope in Ukraine.

  403. JesseJames says:

    It’s good you have work, hope you like it very much. I’am also not so active the last weeks with school and other things. But I come back. 🙂
    See you soon in game Wiskey.

  404. ZaPaTa says:

    Hi Wis, it’s not realy funny news but that’s how life goes.
    Hope at least it’s a fine job, and you’ll find some time to keep up with the news here on the site.
    See you in a couple of months then,
    Zapa

    • Wiskey says:

      I follow this site many times on week and I play sometimes, but active playing is now impossible.

      On winter my works are reduced and I can be more in game and in here site.

  405. Mope says:

    We’ll wait for your return with anticipation.

  406. Mope says:

    Friends, I’m going on vacation, some family roots research trip to Ukraine. No access to SG, but I’ll be on jabber from time to time. See you in a week, I’ll be thirsty for blood.

  407. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    My PC is broken. Sorry.

    @Zap: Do you want to have a chance again Blizz? Practice, practice an practice. 😉

  408. ZaPaTa says:

    Same here, hadn’t had the time to join the game (or to do a banner :D) tonight. Too bad 🙁 (although last games against Blizzard were that brutal. That was even not challenging anymore, just waiting to die. See those scores. Really demotivating)

  409. JesseJames says:

    Sorry guys I was not @home today, was there a teammatch today?

  410. Desconhecido says:

    very good text Sape , :).
    i will wait for that days that i didnt saw , but i expect to see the old players become again lame clan ,
    because lame clan is a clan that we need to be proud of getting into him .
    As Jesse James said , “jippi you are the hero of SG” , i do his words on mine . 🙂
    good job guys.
    Sape u did very well to do this text . 🙂

  411. JesseJames says:

    Like in the good old days, :p

  412. Biondo says:

    JippiJaYeah, aka FlyingChicken, is a myth.
    Thank for joining *LAME* clan, thanks for your efforts in keeping this site alive.

    I hope you’ll join lame clan again some days. When you will, call me, so we join it again together.

  413. JesseJames says:

    SAPE beautiful text it makes me a bit still. It’s true without Jippi we had a lot of technical things like we have now on our site. My skills became better with jippi his tricks. (steamboat ). The trick on the roofs also.
    Jippi you are the hero of SG, and it’s good you play again, often our favourite game.

    Nice text btw SAPE, a good tribute.

  414. JesseJames says:

  416. Biondo says:

    Hi. No, just updated the plugin. Nothing new. 🙂

  417. Mope says:

    What’s changed? You’ve added new topics, Biondo?

  418. JesseJames says:

    Tnx for the screen mope, but it’s two times the same. 🙂
    Blizz was outstanding and we played for the second place.

    Also the TDM was very good (execpt the tunisian guy) 😉

  419. SAPE says:

    I am in too.

  420. Mope says:

    Count me in

  421. JesseJames says:

    I’am in, ready to pull the trigger.BTW nice picture zapa

  422. Jippie says:

    Great!

    How fast can the rifle shoot 12 bullets?
    Did each bullet hit the same enemy or it is possible to shoot
    12 enemies in a row?

  423. JesseJames says:

    Wow what a gun a real beauty.

  424. Wiskey says:

    Wonderful rifle.

  425. Mope says:

    Definitely it’s hard to believe this rifle is not some sci-fi movie accessory. It reminds me of flute or saxophon.

  426. Biondo says:

    Nice find, Mope.

    Seems something taken from a steampunk styled game.

  427. Desconhecido says:

    Very good !! Shooting 12 times is a lot 🙂

  428. JesseJames says:

    OK i’am for next thursday to start with it. then i have a lot of free time. 🙂

  429. Wiskey says:

    What do you think, do we continue our clan dm games now on Thursday? After this we can play tdm games if there is enough players.

  430. SAPE says:

    Howdy Brohers!

    Yep, the cup was something very different. We are a DM clan, and it was slow and tactical game. It is a little-bit draw an analogy BR.
    It is my word I think. I can do my best in DM, when there are only 4-5 player, and I can play my game, my style. The “multiparty” DM with 10-12 players not my word.
    We, the Llamas team, wants to continue this game-type.
    Yes, we need some practice, teamspeak, etc.
    I think the LAME clan will stay DM clan, but maybe some of us could play an other (TDM or BR) type of game. I think it wouldn’t partake the clan. It is just a kind of evolution.

  431. JesseJames says:

    Hey all
    Today it was the final of the cup and PB (with Joe and Pist0) won the game against DD2 (with Blizzard and sunrise) score 2-1.

    So our first cup is closed, tnx all for playing, it was fun, (but a bit frustrations. :p )

    • ZaPaTa says:

      The only game I played didn’t went well like Jesse said. I quickly lost my concentration. They diffidently had some tactic; while one was camping, the other teammate tracked us down and hunted us so we moved i n the direction of the camper. Within the minute we were closed between two lines of fire. Again AND again. Very annoying, even boring. I wonder if they even had fun? It least, I play for a fun and a good time, even if I’m not that good, I’m still proud I play the game in a FUN way 😀

      But if we decide to become a cup-clan (plz not 😀 – but your free to do so, and participate!) there is work to do. Teamspeak for example.

      I’ve been thinking, maybe we have to interview a experienced BR/TDM cup player? Or woudn’t they tell their tricks?

  432. Wiskey says:

    @Jesse thanks for you and Zapata, I had also fun when we played together. But opponents was better. It’s shame that last game was on afternoon, so I can’t be there, but luckily Zapata was able to play.

  433. JesseJames says:

    We played vs WANTED, like the other matches they camped a lot. First we played in train but it was not so good. we lost with high difference. In Sanchuchillo (2d map) they camped a lot in the church or on the roofs. In the begin we played well but after a few minutes their accurance was a lot higher than that from me and Zapa. So that was it 0 wins 🙂

    Wiskey thanks for the cup, was a lot of fun, but a bit dissapointed about the points.

  434. ZaPaTa says:

    Currently the pas is still pelican

  435. JesseJames says:

    Hey zapa and Wiskey hope i got the pass for this afternoon, but Rico is not online this morning.

  436. SAPE says:

    Hi Bros!

    There is some summary of the yesterday matches:

    Llamas vs XOP
    We played without Refferee, Pist0 wasn’t come…

    First me we choose. Canyon.
    It was a wrong decision. The XOP team played extremly slow game with very good strategy like against the TL team.
    We lost it with high difference: we couldn’t make 10 frags. It was shame.
    Secound map is Lago.
    I don’t like this map, but we can took over theirs style and the Llamas played mucm more better than the first map. We lost it but we could make 17 or 18 frags. i think it is real difference among the two teams considering we have no teamspeak and any routine or tactic in team playing.

    @Mope: It was the last match of the Llamas in this cup. I enjoy this games. I think we are good team, and I like to continue the story of the Llamas team. TY Bro.

  437. SAPE says:

    The hedgehog pass is work.

  438. JesseJames says:

    password is pelican for tonight

  439. Biondo says:

    For those of you interested in getting the most from their configuration and their hardware, Sunrise has published the first part of his new Smokin’ Guns Guide: http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3209

    Interesting reading, indeed.
    BTW, I’m the culprit for it, since I asked to Sunrise and Muffin to reveal publicly all their secrets the day they’ll decide to stop playing SG.

    • Wiskey says:

      I read Sunraise’s guide and tried something configs. Thanks for Sun interesting guide.

  440. Wiskey says:

    Zapata, our next game is Friday at 14 o’ clock but I can’t play on afternoon, can you play instead of me? I don’t know if Jesse already asked that, but I want be sure that you know.

    @ Jesse, forget all what i said yesterday, i was tired so my text was not very clear.

  441. Desconhecido says:

    hi , i know that todays is *Llamas* against XOP.
    i wish u guys have more luck then *TL* did . 🙂
    Then gl , do a good game . And choose rly good ur map , and do strategic , because xop rly do it (camp) .

  442. JesseJames says:

    Hey SAPE we didn’t play yesterday because brian couldn’t play so we delayed the match to Friday afternoon.
    And yes i will give you the pass.

  443. SAPE says:

    Jesse, Wiskey, what is the result of the match?

    @Jesse: could you bring to light password of the today match? Please share it, if you could.

  444. JesseJames says:

    Wiskey pass for tonight is hedgehog

  445. Desconhecido says:

    i alrdy know the result .
    And dont worry , this is a game sometimes lose other times wins . 🙂
    sometime winner have luck and otehr unluck .
    dont worry really . next time will be better .
    Huges.
    Desco

  446. Wiskey says:

    We had funny, first map was camper map where all only camped all the time. But we lost heavily.

    • JesseJames says:

      Indeed Tijuana taught that we were good on that map but they stayed 15 minutes on the same place and shot us of the roofs etc.
      Second map train was also a map that we are good on, but XOP was too good for us.

  447. SAPE says:

    Go Lamos!!!!!!!!! 🙂

  448. JesseJames says:

    The pass for tonight is lemuria ,Wiskey.

  449. SAPE says:

    Today there is TL vs XOP match.
    Just one advice: Arrive early, before XOP players arrive, and choose the lawmens. The black players much more visible. 🙂
    @Desco: please upload the demos you made, or send it to me or to Mope. We must upload it.

  450. SAPE says:

    So mYm is out….. OK, it is a big chance, if the Llamas win against XOP, we can strikes back to the WANTED team in the SEMI-FINAL. 🙂

  451. Wiskey says:

    Very practical idea Biondo, I am happy that you and JJY follow our page, despite of that you aren’t in our clan anymore.

  452. Desconhecido says:

    cool idea.

  453. SAPE says:

    Thanx Biondo. You are part of this clan now and in the future too.

  454. Biondo says:

    OK, the order of comments has been reversed: the most recent comment (together with replies to it) comes first.

  455. Desconhecido says:

    HEHe ty guys . 🙂 .
    i Alrdy have TS (TeamSpeak). If we use it , woud be great . to the TDM matches .
    IF we use it , i can take care of it and make a room of LAME clan .
    @Sape : “”I start to afraid to you “” 😛 .

    Guys, before the day of the match . i dunno if u remember but we did lame vs all in tdm match in circus novus .
    i think we could make it again .:)

    • SAPE says:

      Des, could you give some more information about teamspeak? Software? How it works? Etc.

  456. ZaPaTa says:

    ” So you gain 3 points and don’t have to play on Thuesday the 28.”
    Now, this is what I call LAME! 🙂

  457. JesseJames says:

    @Zapa no we played yesterday our match, so we don’t need you tonight. 🙂
    I like TDM very much so i agree with you zapa, also for the headset and Teamspeak.

    BTW: breaking news for SAPE and MOPE, team mYm will not play longer in the cup. So you gain 3 points and don’t have to play on Thuesday the 28.

  458. JesseJames says:

    Good to see that you follow us biondo, it will be great if you can do that.

  459. ZaPaTa says:

    You’re going off topic and it’s hard to keep track of everything 😀
    Anyway, JJ you need me tonight? I’m at home till 8’o clock but than I have to go 🙁

    I also had this idea for our clanwars.
    I believe all are enjoying the TDM, so after our normal DM-match we could make teams of two players. So four players play a TDM while the rest takes a rest (a smoke, a beer) and specs. After this first round, other four players could take place in the game, while the former players go spec?
    What you think.

    I agree with you SAPE on the teamspeak. I’m prepared to buy a headset soon. Do you have already one? Once I got mine, we could do some excersising. What about the rest?

    • Wiskey says:

      Good idea Zapata, but I don’t know do we get enough players for 4 teams? Have in our clan so much players that are interesting from TDM. But I can be in another team.

      OT, I think that during last 1 year my English is improved, maybe i can now write without Google Translate.

  460. ZaPaTa says:

    Excellent. Biondo, I did some sites recently in wordpress. I had some good experiences with plugins. Do you know if there is any plugin that allows paging of the comments (like you get a small tab underneath the comments saying “page 1-2-3”)
    Would make a lot of difference too.

    Any plans for your return btw 😀 :D?

    • Biondo says:

      We used WP-Paginate plugin for comments pagination, and it worked for some time. Now I see it’s deactivated (don’t know/remember why), but also activating it doesn’t work any more. No idea why, but I haven’t searched too much.

      Plans for a return?? No, sorry 🙂 I have not so much time as I had for the clan, so I prefer to leave alone.

    • Biondo says:

      Zapa, I never noticed that WordPress lets you choose to paginate comments: under Settings –> Discussion you can read “Break comments into pages with # top level comments per page and the # page displayed by default “.
      Also this doesn’t work though 🙁 I suppose there’s something wrong with the theme I built.
      I’ll try to correct it.

  461. Mope says:

    Very nice idea I guess.

  462. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys do you know why we have no data for the last 2 months on googleanalystic? I was a bit curious how much visitors we have those days, but their is no Data,…

  463. JesseJames says:

    @SAPE i heard about this father and son,increddible.
    We had in Belgium also a famous sporter who became handicapped in triatlon. He will not walk again they said but he did it.
    he did the most famous triatlon in the world Hawaii in a wheelchair. RESPECT for those guys.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfLGAtpECiA

  464. SAPE says:

    Yes, the most important that take a part of the game.
    It is off topic, but I like to shared with you:

    Team Hoyt….Big respect.

    Ironman Triatlon: consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bike and a marathon 26.2-mile (42.2 km) run, raced in that order and without a break.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxqe77-Am3w

    They did it. Imposibble is nothing.

  465. JesseJames says:

    Hehe that’s the words of the olympic games ;). Indeed Descon since you been a member of our clan you encreached your skills very much. Now you beat very good players in BB and Jeuxlinux.
    Keep it up!

  466. Wiskey says:

    Thanks Descon and Sape. Like Sunrise says, winning is not important, only that take part for game.

  467. SAPE says:

    Great job Llamas. It was our first win.
    Funny, but strange gameas: somobody modifiled the settings of the server: there was 20 fraglimit, so we had to restart the game and play until one of the teams reached 30 frag. The refferee, Boss wrote the points of the teams on the chatboard. 🙂
    Desco, thanx the game, you are better and better everyday. I start to afraid to you. 🙂
    Jesse, Wiskey: thanx the game. GG. You are good player, I am very proud of you, proud of the LAME clan.

  468. Mope says:

    Great job, Descon. I’m happy you’ve represented the Llamas team in the best possible way. I’m proud of you, man. GG Sape, Descon I’m going to watch your demos as I get home.

  469. Desconhecido says:

    🙂 was rly a great game . believe me Jesse James . i was very nervous too :).

    Huges
    Desconhecido , (green) :D.

  470. JesseJames says:

    You were too strong for us, Descon you were incredible (ofc SAPE you also) 🙂

  471. JesseJames says:

    Hehe I found it a bit frustrated, I fight under my level. Was a bit too nervous and my accurance was bad.
    But we played better than the first match, and yes it’s for fun. But I like winning 😀 Next time better!

  472. Wiskey says:

    Funny games, we fight hardly but The Lamas was better. I am poor on closed map like fort, but in canyon we played much better. Even my connection don’t ruined that game. I am happy.

  473. SAPE says:

    Yep. Start: /record
    Stop: /stoprecord

  474. Desconhecido says:

    demo? like /record tdm1 ?

  475. SAPE says:

    Des, don’t forget: You must make demo, each matches.

    Cu in game.

  476. Desconhecido says:

    hmm i see now my error . 🙂 . Ty very much .
    if i dont see u before i match . i wish u good luck . and have a good match . 🙂
    this will be funny 😛

  477. JesseJames says:

    it’s a different server descon, just tried it. You can play on Circus Novus and the Teamcup. It’s not the same. HMmm can you try it another time?

  478. Desconhecido says:

    thats the IP of the server Circus novus . and this server is used to cup . they just put password in the last copple of minutes

  479. JesseJames says:

    Yep Descon

  480. Desconhecido says:

    the IP f server is this ?176.9.90.215:27560

  481. JesseJames says:

    hibou is the password for tonight.

  482. SAPE says:

    Jesse, do you know today password?
    Please seared it as soon as possible. Thanx.

  483. Desconhecido says:

    and what the password of today?

  484. Desconhecido says:

    21:30 germany?

  485. JesseJames says:

    Why don’t like Bart us? 🙂 It’s good that pistO don’t make a problem for this.
    So we play this evening 21u30 or on an earlier hour?

  486. Mope says:

    I’ve got an answer form Pist0 on my email:

    Hello Mope,
    http://tdmcup-2012.jimdo.com/rules/ Look at the rule 14…
    But I do not know, maybe I will let you do it since Sape told me that you have agree it with *TL*. But, only for 1 match please.
    Pist0 🙂

    That means he’s approving the replacement, only this time.
    You can tell Bart about this.

  487. Desconhecido says:

    but we need to talk to the referee . that i think is bart , and what i know about bart of lame . is he dont likes lames …. but if i find him i ask him . 🙂

  488. JesseJames says:

    OK thanks a lot Des.

  489. Desconhecido says:

    yes … i will do my best to show up . 🙂

  490. Mope says:

    Descon, as you maybe know, tomorrow we, me and sape must play against wiskey and jesse on TDM cup. I can’t make it tomorrow. Can you please replace me?

  491. SAPE says:

    I think the most important thing we can do: TEAMSPEAK.

  492. Wiskey says:

    @ Mope, Saturday is OK for me.

    I am suprised, how good we are in teamgame. Despite of it that we play always all vs all we can play also on team. Our should be improve our tactic, it should be better on next game.

  493. JesseJames says:

    @SAPE epic battle!! I’am very proud, if you had a bit more luck you had your first point.
    Keep the good spirit!

    Like I said yesterday fort is such a camp map (not for me 🙂 ).

    @Mope I don’t know if i can play Saturday, ZaPa can you play in my place? I hope I can play this battle.

  494. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    Lets summarize the TDM cup gameplay:

    Mope and SAPE vs. B@rt and Bri@n

    First match: Fort.
    I choose the map, it wasn’t the best choice. We lost it. The result 16 vs. 30. It was warm-up for us. The first real team fight.

    Secound mach: San Cuchillo
    It was epic fight. We started to spin and played much more better. The result was 29 vs. 29. I and ,I think Bri@n, saw each other on the same moment. We shot, and we hit the target, both of us. He was sharper, or more lucky, and they were win with only one frag.

    Mope, thanx the game. It was very good and very fun. Lets go Llamas. YEHAAAAAAAAAAA! 🙂

  495. Mope says:

    Jesse, Wiskey, can we please, please reschedule? I definitely can’t make it on Friday eve…

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPo9OBrIOi4
    “Shomer Shabbos!” heh, nah, just visiting parents.

    Is Saturday eve OK with all of you????

  496. JesseJames says:

    @ZaPaTa yep you can watch it on the server: Live or on the website of the site you will see demo’s of the games.

    • ZaPaTa says:

      JJ, any ideas on our map?
      Wiksy, let me know if you can make it to your match,
      otherwise, I’ll play to replace you.

  497. ZaPaTa says:

    Definitely the good spirit, can we see the game somewhere JJ?
    No worries, you learned a lot probably. Next time you’ll play different.

  498. JesseJames says:

    The password is: henne.
    Good luck Lamas

  499. SAPE says:

    @Mope: the jabber server is offline. Google talk? I sent to you an invitation.

  500. JesseJames says:

    Hopes he will come online,…

  501. JesseJames says:

    I will look if Rico is online on the chat, wait a minute. 🙂

  502. SAPE says:

    Ty Wiskey, Des. 🙂
    Somebody know today’s password? Jesse? Where can I find it?

  503. Desconhecido says:

    @Sape when i try to connect a server that is needed password ; first to put passoword in multiplayer game and then i connect . in the cup can be diferent i dont know . but try this , what i said . 🙂

  504. SAPE says:

    Yep, I said the same. there is no time limit, so the careful, camper style playing is win.
    @Mope: Yesterday night my Jabber was work, but now not working again 🙁
    I try to connect or see you in googletalk.

  505. JesseJames says:

    Tnx, i give you one advice guys, they camp a lot. So don’t rush like me on a street or you are dead. 🙂

  506. Mope says:

    GG guys, you’ve got good spirit.

  507. SAPE says:

    Don’t worry Bro’s. It was just the first match.

    I have never play a server with password. How is it made?

    You open the consol, and type:

    /connect 176.9.90.215:27560

    And where is the password? After it you tipe it, or what?

    • Wiskey says:

      You click “password” button on SG multiplayer window, insert your password and then / connect to wanted address.

      That was new also for me.

  508. JesseJames says:

    Damn we lost the game with 2-0. The Tunisian guys were too fast for us.
    You can see our game tomorrow on the site 🙂
    But it was a nice game.

  509. JesseJames says:

    @Sape I will post it here when I asked to Rico on the jeuxlinuxchat.
    @Wiskey i’am nervous too but everything will alright 🙂

  510. SAPE says:

    Mope! I invited you a gmail-chat. My adress: sape19790912 [at] gmail [dot] com

  511. SAPE says:

    @Jesse: is it the password tomorrow too? Where you can find it?

  512. Wiskey says:

    My first cup, I am nervous that i remember record demos and I come to right time. Hope i watched time zone right. Well, it is easier when that is gone. I upload demos on tomorrow, when cup end I go to sleep.

  513. Mope says:

    Sape, can you get in touch with me on jabber, pls? We’re playing tomorrow!

  514. ZaPaTa says:

    Go team! Go team!
    Let me know if I have to do a demo too, and if yes, on what map? I’m a bit confused with their site and this loooong topic 🙂

    • JesseJames says:

      wiill you spectate us? That will be great 🙂

      But no you don’t have to make a video, only wiskey and me.

      • ZaPaTa says:

        It’s pretty late isn’t it? I’m afraid the old man will go early to bed. Too hot last days to take a descent sleep.

  515. JesseJames says:

    We will win in 2 very short games i think. :p

  516. Wiskey says:

    Thanks Jesse for password, I am there at 22.30 Finlands time. I must drink lot’s of coffee so I don’t sleep before game.

  517. JesseJames says:

    Thanks 🙂

  518. Desconhecido says:

    here is ur day *TL*.
    i wish u good luck against mYm| . 🙂

  519. JesseJames says:

    http://tdmcup-2012.jimdo.com/demos/ Ok here you find more information about the demos

  520. JesseJames says:

    12) Every player MUST upload his clanwar demos and post them on the “Demos” small capitals of his teamname. All teams will have a small capital. If a player will not send his demo, his team will lose the round of the missing demo.

    I just read that phrase does anybody know how you can record a video?

  521. JesseJames says:

    Ok guys the password is: fire

  522. SAPE says:

    @Jesse, if you have any information about where we can find the passwords, please write a comment.

  523. JesseJames says:

    I don’t know where I can find the password, if I find it i will give it to you. I think that i can find it in the Facebookgroup.

    BTW no problem, it’s not your fault that your pc can crash. 🙂

  524. Wiskey says:

    I have to warn that my connection is not stable. That mean that my game can crash suddenly or ping can lift over 200, which is rare now. If my connection disconnect, I try connect so fast as possible. Hope that don’t happen. Does anyone know password for tdm server?

  525. JesseJames says:

    OK mope, SAPE,ZAPA, Wiskey this is the server IP adress for us.
    TDM Cup Server 1 : 176.9.90.215:27560 (Group A matches)

  526. Desconhecido says:

    I dont expect more from LAME . 🙂

  527. Wiskey says:

    It is good that Zapa is reserve, cup start at 22.30 on Finlands time and it is late. Luckily, next week i have vacation. We do our best, thanks DESC.

  528. Desconhecido says:

    most of then i know because they play BR . i must say that they are used to play as a team . and if they choose the partner is because they nomrally plas as a team . with programs of comunication . other thing that can help them .
    good luck to LAME groups:The Lamos Team ; Llamas Team

    Do your best . 🙂

  529. JesseJames says:

    Hehe I think we have a chance, and I don’t know all the other guys in our group. Most of them play with a new nickname or something.
    Btw Zapa is our reserve when one of us can’t play that evening.

  530. Wiskey says:

    I am waiting that cup, i see how we can play together against other teams. I don’t know all our opponents, but i think that they don’t let easy win for our team. Week yet waiting.

  531. JesseJames says:

    tnx Descon,
    Btw MOPE, SAPE, Wiskey, ZaPaTa here is the schedule for the TDM CUP, look when you have to play.
    http://tdmcup-2012.jimdo.com/schedule/

  535. Wiskey says:

    Yep, Lame member can be only in one clan. I am also declined if somebody else from other clan is ask me to join to another clan.

  536. SAPE says:

    Hi Des!

    A Lame member just a lame member. There is no possible in this clan.

    SAPE

  537. Desconhecido says:

    Guys i have a question that i would like to know the answer .
    a member of lame can be in other clan doing diferent things, like diferent typs of map (dm,tdm,br,duel ,etc) does that can be possible or not ? to have 2 clans that includes lame and other that the player want.

    Waiting for a aswer

    Snack – is like a meal ( for me ) is the same of breakfast …

    Dinner – normally as dinner is a meal of night , portugueses eat is a soap ,to not weigh much at night . and something more just to lost the hunger .

    Well Jesse James here is my explanation of what portuguese normally eat every day . dunno if is this what u meant , but if it is .here u get the information nto just for you but more members of lame that would like to do that question to me or to others … here you have

  540. JesseJames says:

    What do Portugese guys eat on a normal day?

      Desconhecido, some temporary economic difficulties do not diminish the beauty and glory of your country. I wish you’ll see it flourish again soon.

      You are a cook? That’s great, what kind of kitchen do you like? Give us some simple recipe, please, something you like yourself .

  542. SAPE says:

    Mope, I made the registration. 🙂

  543. Desconhecido says:

    Got other idea ….
    what about we create a server of lame?

  544. SAPE says:

    Jippi, I know we had some disagreement in the past, but I think we solved the problem.
    You are a very important part of the clan. Please, stay with us, if it is possible.
    I hope you stay with us.

  545. SAPE says:

    LOL 😀

    Very nice Mope!

  546. JippiJaYeah says:

    >>It will start in the middle of August and the end of it depends on the number of teams that will take part.

  547. SAPE says:

    OK Mope. I will make the registration. The date exact date hasn’t known yet.
    Llamas? 🙂

  548. ZaPaTa says:

    so COOOOOL! but I don’t see a date? when is this cup?

  549. JesseJames says:

    @Mope and SAPE you can use also THE LAMOS 2. 🙂

  550. Mope says:

    Yeah, Sape, let’s make a team! We can be called “Llamas”
    or “Llama riders”! I still don’t get when it will occur?

  551. Wiskey says:

    Mope, we can’t take you anymore, it should be 2 vs 2. But you and Sape can register own team.

    I am happy that *LAME* are interested also from team game.

  552. SAPE says:

    Mope, You and me as a team in TDM 2 vs 2? I like to fight your side Bro. 🙂

  553. Mope says:

    Count me in as well. But if ypu want to keep the authentic touch, then call it “Los Lamos” 😉

  554. Wiskey says:

    Ah ok Jesse, we can use prefix when we fight

  555. JesseJames says:

    We are regristered Wiskey as the first team. 🙂 You can watch us at the bottom of the page register. 🙂
    But we need a prefix *The Lamos* something like that?

  556. Wiskey says:

    ok i did it. I only wonder why it isn’t appeared to registered teams. Did I something wrong?

  557. Desconhecido says:

    About Tdm cup i dont know if im going to participate , because in that date – august- maybe im goign to travel aroudn the country then i dont know if i go .

  558. JesseJames says:

    THE LAMOS
    LAME GRINGOS
    Bujaka Yek Yek Yek? 🙂
    If you have an idea just shoot. 🙂

  559. Desconhecido says:

    sape when you said “teamspeach” you mean like we need a program that we (lame-ers) could talk?to comunicte with the rest of team in the game?

  560. Wiskey says:

    Yes Jesse. What is our team name? LAME? Or somebody else.

    I go to register when we get team name yet.

  561. JesseJames says:

    Hey Wiskey I want to play with you is that good?

  562. Wiskey says:

    I think that TDM is also good for our team play, it requires also we do work together. It is also good training for future cw.

  563. Wiskey says:

    I am goingo to register for cup. Want anybody else to come?

  564. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys, there is a cup in August, TDM 2 vs 2. I think that is also cool for LAME. IT’s no bankrobbery but TDM. You have to find a teammate and then register. 🙂
    more information: http://tdmcup-2012.jimdo.com/

  565. SAPE says:

    Hi.
    I am in the BR games. I am team player, you know.

    Some summary:
    At first we need:

    -practice in team, and in single player mode: I suggest in single player mode every member, who like to play BR, try to find the bank and the gate in every BR maps and memorize it. It is the basic, I think.

    If the BR will become long-term project, we like it and we want to play cw regularly:

    -We need some maps, ( will make it)
    -We need teamspeach.
    -And much more team practice.

    Lets go Bro’s. 🙂

  566. Wiskey says:

    I agree. LAME vs XOP

  567. Desconhecido says:

    for me its ok playing against xop . just need the opinions of others members .
    And if every agree , then someone have to “control” this clanwar event .m like i try to do at this one against cS

  568. JesseJames says:

    Hehe cool that you are practising against XOP. Very nice players indeed really nice clan. Maybe we can play a clanwar against XOP instead of CS? I like them more than cs.

  569. Wiskey says:

    No problem Mope, i had funny, with XOP

  570. Desconhecido says:

    isnt in comment . because we commet in same time . then i write in this one .
    No problem mope that X red was in holidays too 😀 .

  571. Desconhecido says:

    Yesterday ,we plan to play br agains our members to pratic a little . And we finish to pratic against !»Xop! Magician ; !»Xop! contorti . was very fun . And we really enjoyed it . 🙂

  572. Sarah says:

    I’m willing to try br against other clans when I have had enough practice as I’ve never really played it properly.

    Was hoping to play last night but I had a problem with my key board and could not log on to my computer 🙁

    • Mope says:

      Sorry to hear about your keyboard, Sarah, hope the problem is solved. We we cruelly beaten up by XOP clan. I must admit they are very patient and nice players, much more experienced at BR than us.

      BTW, Wiskey and Descon, really sorry about the “friendly fire”.

  573. Desconhecido says:

    I know other 2 tricks . ths i found yesterday in this map .
    both in a roof .
    im gonna try to make a video or image to u guys see , because the trick is very hard . and machine gun dont do nothing about this 2 new tricks tat im gonna post here .

  574. Wiskey says:

    Maybe we play today on Terra Nova, there game mode can change to br so we can play also it. Hope we get lot’s of players for br. If time is same it is then 20:30 in central europe and 21:00 in FInland. I will be there.

    Can we do public post from tonight, so we get maybe more players for br?

  575. Desconhecido says:

    In TN?

  576. JesseJames says:

    Hmm it will be a pity when we are with 3 guys who did not practice a lot against a very strong cS. I will always win, so let us practise a month or two and then do a clanmatch.

    • Mope says:

      Yeah, let’s play regular clanmatch today. We can also make some clan practice of BR.
      The time is the same?

      Every two weeks I’m at my parent’s in other city. So no Friday-Saturday is acceptable for me. Not every week, anyway.

  577. Desconhecido says:

    then this cw stay cancel? JJ?

  578. JesseJames says:

    @descon Like I said September or October will be beter for everyone.

  579. Desconhecido says:

    i understand , what you are saying .
    But is just this cw . to see how we work as a team VS other team(in this case !»cS«! ) after we pratic more and do better what we did wrong . If you know how i mean.

  580. SAPE says:

    I vote against cw. It is bad idea now. We didn”t practice enough.
    You will discredit our reputation.
    Other things: the bigger pats of the clan haven’t vote yet. Des, decision without EVERY members voting, it is not a good way IMO….

    • Wiskey says:

      I think that it is hard to get vote from all members, Zapata, is on holiday, and Grey, SLowly and Sarah, I am not seen they here for long time. Also Vincent is somewhere now.

      I already told for Descon that we maybe have to delay cw, but he still wants to organize it. You are right, but I think that Desconhecido disappoint if we don’t play.

      Damn that is difficult. But of course, you can suggest what we do with cw if we don’t play it now.

  581. Wiskey says:

    Mexico is good. So Saturday at 21:00 Finland’s time.

  582. Desconhecido says:

    ok more players is better . now we have 5 players . i still the confirmation of MOPE and SAPE .
    And if someone want to come . write here .
    Then is gonna be saturday close to 20:00 .
    5 players at now.

    Our Map is Dm_mexico . right? or u perfer other .
    i just say mexico . because the players that say the maps tell mexico

  583. JesseJames says:

    Ok i’am in, in the evening in the week is I think the best. On Saterday I often go out. 🙂 And yes 20;00 is the best.
    Good that you guys take some leadership! I appreciate that very much.

  584. Desconhecido says:

    The password is vodka

  585. Wiskey says:

    Mexico is good map. 20:00 in Central Europe, it is 21:00 in Finland? Both Friday or weekend are suitable for me. What is PW to #sg.wars private server?

  586. Desconhecido says:

    ok . then the match still on .
    I think for the opinions of maps . our map withh be mexico or not?
    the time stays 20:00 . (central europe)
    whta players go ?
    Desconhecido ;
    Wiskey;
    Sape ?;
    Mope?

    Do u guys want the cw should be in friday / weekend? . if isnt one of this days tell dya u perfer.
    The server should be #sg.wars private server

  587. @spi says:

    hey jjy,

    dont make a hard break …
    why do you not stay in *LAME* as a frozen or inactive member ?

    cheers !
    @spi

  588. Wiskey says:

    YES Descon. What day and server?

  589. Desconhecido says:

    Does this cw stay up or not?

  590. Desconhecido says:

    i play br about 1/2 months thta i play . i have some skill but i dont say that i am good . everyone needs some skill in BR . we can always make like some dy that some lame members i juex can do like lame vs all . i see clan doing it for training , but of coure isnt vs otherclan . just vs other player , as i said , just for training

  591. Wiskey says:

    I also practised on jeux linux at last weeks, at least me, jesse and descond can do teams. Of course, we have to practise more, and I am not against if also others are in team.

  592. JesseJames says:

    Descon a month ago i practise a lot in BR, and I improved my skills. 🙂
    So maybe we can practise this summer a bit and do a clanwar in September or Oktober with a few guys/girls?
    We did once a clanwar (BR) and it was terrible 🙂

  593. Desconhecido says:

    Yeah i agree to pratic more as a team .
    We have reputacion in dm / ballerbude . I just did this idea of a clanwar vs a good team cs clan to pratic . i know that we dont have any experience as a team in BR type but we could make it in this clanwars .

    Sorry if i did something wrong . but was for a good reason 🙂

  594. SAPE says:

    OK. I edit this post, maybe better if it is a private post just for LAME members.

    About clan-war:

    Des, in my opinion we haven”t got enough skill to play BR against an other clan. The BR is a TEAM-GAME, and we can”t play in team, because we haven’t got enough time to practice.
    The LAME clan have reputation in DM, in BallerBude. I think we destroy this reputation if we make a clanwar against an other clan without training. The BR isn’t DM, the individual skill is not enough.
    So I suggest to you: if we wanna play BR against other clan, we will practice, and fight, if we will prepare to it.
    I suggested it in the past, Des, you can read it in Teamdeathmach topic, but that time I was wrong, so I think we must talk about it again, in a private post.

    • Mope says:

      Yeah, we’re more DM-clan of undisciplined individuals, but very extraordinary individuals, with a slight touch of lameness.

  595. Desconhecido says:

    y next

  596. Desconhecido says:

    hi again . i was talking to !»cS«!Poseidon . about more information .
    If we play only 3 maps . lame and cs have to acept which map that they choose , like 1rst- !»cs«! choose , 2nd lame chose , and 3rd is like , one player say durango or other map , all players must acept the decision of this player .
    .

    @Wiskey- at the moment that i post in there site . te ext day will be the clanwar .

    this is what was tell to me .

    If i get more information i tell here .

    • Wiskey says:

      OK i understand how maps are selected, but what do you mean .te ext day? Do you mean next day?

  597. Wiskey says:

    Tijuana, -Mexico and Alama II. 20.00 is better for me. You aren’t yet decide day?

  598. Desconhecido says:

    Oh i forget to say . is BR match

  599. SAPE says:

    Hi Des.

    What type of game? I think it would be team match. Is it a TDM or a BR?

  600. Desconhecido says:

    not yet . but i need to know this. 1rst

  601. Mope says:

    I prefer the later option (19:00 Portugal time is better, 20:00 Central Europe)

    Did you sent the invitation to !»cS«! clan?

  602. JesseJames says:

    Cool idea Descon let me know when and where and hope I can be with you. (hope my skills are not weak after 1 month of not playing. 🙂 )

  603. JesseJames says:

    Jippi I have also much work the next two months but I can leave with the idea that I have more time after that to play again.
    So think about it, you can be a member of the clan but take a pause and then come back.
    Your knifes are legendary even your PC skills. Hope you will follow us and the game.

  604. Desconhecido says:

    Im thinking to organize an unofficial match vs !»cS«! im going to talk to them .

    Next of that i post here a date of clanwar , which maps that we are going to play versus them . how we gonna play(if is 3vs 3/4vs 4 or more ) depends of players that gonna participate in that event .

    Hugs,

    Desconhecido

  605. Biondo says:

    Bad news, Jippi. My advice is take a pause, but don’t leave the clan (I’m an expert in leaving 😉 ). The clan still need you presence.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      >>The clan still need you presence.
      That’s the problem, i can not be as present as I would like to, in game or on our website.

  606. Slowly John says:

    hello guys,

    – northwood from usa received and installed
    – a new zalman 7000cu cools good and silent
    – three new 16mm holes in the desktop case for better airflow
    – speedfun reconfigured
    – cpu temperature around 60 degrees
    (at the current heat in my room, we have here 27
    degrees and humidity 98%!!)
    – the hot prescott goes now with his old cooler in pension

    i hope, that was it and i can play again…

    with best wishes & nice weekend @all
    slow

  607. ZaPaTa says:

    Thanks for the understanding all. I’m building a new site, working on some new illustrations, doing a little translation and the garden is growing wild; I even have a couple chickens now…Lot’s of stuff to do coming months.

    I’ll be visiting France for two weeks, a bit of the Dordogne river-area and Burgundy with a tent. Looking forward 🙂

  608. ZaPaTa says:

    Jippi, you’re far too skilled to leave SG 😀
    I agree with mope, and I also made a post with the same feeling, but remember: it’s summer, we all have ‘projects’, so we cool down a bit with the clan, until september or soo. In the winter, you always find time to catch up, IMO.

    Plz take some time to think about it. Even if you’re not a regular player, you can keep the prefix and join us from time to time, later in the year.

    Cheers, Zapa

  609. Mope says:

    Jippi, if the reason of your decision is lack of time, you really don’t need to leave the clan. Just take a break, we’ll wait for your return. And if it’s more than this we always can discuss any problem. Please, don’t rush, we need you. Even your nick adds our clan power and prestige.

  610. Desconhecido says:

    was fun play with u jippi . u and your knifes . were too much for me .
    was a pleasure to play with u .
    The good moments that we pass in Tn in thursdays was amazing .
    hugs for u JippiJaYeah.
    from Desconhecido 😉

  611. Mope says:

    Jippi, I’ve already upgraded his account to administrator. I’m taking all the responsibility also. No worries, our guardian angel is on duty 🙂

  612. JippiJaYeah says:

    >>…. that he can’t read private messages (also when he is logged in).

    Thats not a fault, thats a feature – i have also to log in to read private messages.

    I made my opinion about giving full rights on the dashboard – i hope biondo have a full backup.

    Biondo, why you can’t put him to admin?
    It’s not a technical problem, you have full rights?

    • Biondo says:

      @Jippi, also when he logged in, he couldn’t read private messages, because he was not admin.

      A backup? No, I haven’t. You know that it takes hours to do a complete backup. Otherwise you have to pay and Altervista can do a weekly/daily backup for you.

      If you access Altervista control panel, you can do a backup yourself.

  613. Mope says:

    OK, problem solved

  614. Wiskey says:

    Thank You Biondo. Without you we can’t do anything with WordPress

  615. Mope says:

    I’m totally supporting the idea of turning clanwars unofficial till the future announcement. Otherwise someone will be so kind to arrange them, that means publishing post with time and maybe maps proposal, that’s all.

  616. Mope says:

    There’s a Russian proverb:
    “He who doesn’t risk never gets to drink champagne.”
    Thanks a lot to our guardian angel friendly ghost Biondo.

  617. SAPE says:

    I will be at home mostly all summer long, so I am in the weekly unofficial matches.

  618. ZaPaTa says:

    Of course Descon & Wiskey; you’re free to organise your own matches! Make them a special clanwar, with the hottest maps 🙂
    Anyway, I’m just stating some of us (JJ and me, personally, but i think a lot more) will take a little siesta in the summersun, so I won’t be participating that much the coming to months.
    Have fun Gringos!

  619. Desconhecido says:

    I understand your opinions .
    But i would like to know others lame clan opinions about making some clanwars of fun .
    thanks for ur opinions at now : Jesse James ;
    Wiskey .

  620. Jippi says:

    Thank you for playing with us with your intercontinental ping (my idea 😉 ) Not easy to play with it. jippi sending outer space with my htc

  621. JesseJames says:

    Hehe tnx You that you enjoy our Deadmatches. It’s always fun with you. 🙂

  622. YOU says:

    Glad I could be of service to you guys, getting shot up all full of holes and all! Seriously fun when you guys are there. Great competition and loads of friendly advice.
    Thanks for the fun….

    YOU aka Intercontinentalping

  623. JesseJames says:

    @Desconhecido,
    I work a month so I can’t play also much. After that a week on holiday and than examens. So next two months you will find me not on my pc ( or less).
    If you will organise a clanwar descon just do it, and i will watch if I can make some time.

    • Wiskey says:

      Maybe we can keep then ”unofficial” cw, when we don’t count points, we only play for fun, it should be open for anybody. I Think that it is good idea to relax little bit from cw, but I am not against if Desconhecido wants arrange some cw.

      That’s all.

  624. Desconhecido says:

    Hey .
    i think we could make some clanwars . as u said but i think lame clan dont do that normally . or never done before . dont know about that .
    but i think we could make in tis holidays some clanwars
    or war between or clan .
    Thats my idea.

  625. Desconhecido says:

    Hello guys .
    i Have to apologize but i coudnt go in TN tonight.
    Because lacked the power in my house then i couldnt go That at event.
    Sorry, but i Wish I Could Be There.
    Next week i wish that this dont happen again .
    So I hope you enjoyed.
    Big Hugs

  626. Slowly John says:

    dear friends,

    sorry, i have a sticky problem with my computer… the cpu is too hot 🙁 ! i use a damn 3ghz ht prescott in my ibm-desktop-machine (thinkcenter m50) and he run with over 70grd celsius (without stress!!). yesterday i have purchased a some model in usa, but a northwood cpu and i hope, he is cooler. that is the reason for my very short play sequences at the last few days…maybe is the cpu broken…
    best regards
    slow (…i wrote this text with a tablet)

  627. ZaPaTa says:

    Hi Kids, I’m not sure if we play tonight…I don’t see a post about it, but that doesn’t mind. I hope some of you find there way to TN tonight to catch some bullets 🙂
    Personally, I probably won’t make it tonight, I’ll be late back home.
    Have fun anyway!

  628. ZaPaTa says:

    Great! good to see a decision!

  629. JippiJaYeah says:

    Jippi horray he said. 😉

  630. JesseJames says:

    Oh ok the next two months I can not play often SG.

    BTW what did he say jippi? 🙂

  631. Mope says:

    jesse, can you send him an acceptance mail? pls?

  632. JesseJames says:

    goncalo.judoca [at] iol [dot] pt I think that is his email adress. 🙂

  633. JippiJaYeah says:

    To add a new user, did he have a eMail address that we can use?

  634. JesseJames says:

    Ok if anyone see him in game you can say it to him. 🙂 SO he can make a *LAME* prefix.

  635. Mope says:

    Desco is OK.

  636. Wiskey says:

    I vote for Descon….. He is friendy and he is often in our clan wars. And he made some tips for how to – page.

  637. JesseJames says:

    I think we can accept him. Nobody have big problems with him I think.

  638. Biondo says:

    Jippi, be assured I will NOT redesign the theme for Drupal!

  639. JippiJaYeah says:

    My intention to give him another prefix was only for the observation time, not when he join the clan.

    But what is now the result?

  640. JippiJaYeah says:

    Maybe i give Drupal a chance, is there any worst security reasons like wordpress?

  641. Biondo says:

    Joomla? Don’t know. Drupal (used in SG forum/site) is OK.
    But I don’t see it possible to migrate a WordPress blog to Drupal. Be content with it, though knowing its limitations.

  642. JippiJaYeah says:

    Damm, that make me all sad.
    Whats about Joomala.
    It`s this more secure?

  643. Biondo says:

    Another sad thing, IMO, is to discover that every time I connect to Lame site, my presence is notified to 14 (!) different sites (including Facebook, Twitter, … and Gravatars of course).

    Until now it was notified only to 2-3 sites. Don’t know if the culprit is Gravatar or SEO plugin, or whatelse.
    Anyhow I can live with it.

    BTW, I use Collusion to know it, a Firefox extension.

    For the future: Jippi, if you enable RSS Feeds all private content in the blog (the secret area) will be accessible by everyone by RSS. This is the reason why I disabled RSS.

    WordPress is a nice software, but talking about privacy it’s a complete disaster. And be sure they do this on purpose, they have an income.

  644. JippiJaYeah says:

    Well, thank you Biondo the special helpful information.
    I didn’t know about then Gravatars leaks.
    Meanwhile i disable the Gravatars until i find a secure solution.

  645. Biondo says:

    There is a reason if I disabled avatars, Jippi.
    There is a privacy concern (https://www.google.com/#hl=it&gs_nf=1&pq=gravatar&cp=16&gs_id=oq&xhr=t&q=gravatar+privacy&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&oq=gravatar+privacy&aq=0L&aqi=g-L2&aql=&gs_l=&pbx=1&fp=1&biw=1400&bih=805&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&cad=b) connected to the use of avatars in WordPress. Since WordPress uses Gravatars, your email address is officially associated with the image you have chosen, and in EVERY blog in the Web where you posted a comment that image will be displayed, no matter which name you use.

    Sure if TheDoctor would have known that we were using avatars/Gravatars he would have never posted a comment here. Nor I.

    That said, you are free to decide over the site. Just wanted to explain the reason why the lack of avatars was an explicit choice.

    Now I’ll probably have to change my email address.

  646. JippiJaYeah says:

    Feel free to update your personal avatar now.
    Go to dashboard menu “Edit My Profile” and upload your personal avatar.

  647. JesseJames says:
  648. JippiJaYeah says:

    Sorry, couldn’t make it today.

  649. Desconhecido says:

    count with me guys . tonight in TN .
    Cu in game

  650. JesseJames says:

    What a performance Mope, saw just 2 video’s of the group. Dance,music,… Looks very nice.

  651. SAPE says:

    I will be there. 🙂

  652. Mope says:

    Sorry, friends, I will be tonight at Mayumana dance troupe show. Maybe I’ll get ideas for some new moves in game, I’ll show you next week.

  653. ZaPaTa says:

    Indeed JJ, best time of the year for cowboys! Hot burning sun, enough dust and a lot of flies! So’ll I be there, hope to see all of you tonight on TN,
    with our brand new 1.1. version!

  654. Sarah says:

    I have no idea what happened and no one noticed it had died. It’s very bad that it was not removed as dead fish create ammonia in the water and it can harm the others 🙁

    Thanks Jesse 🙂

  655. ZaPaTa says:

    Also I don’t support the idea of another prefix, or a so called ‘wing'(clan) for junior-LAMEs. It’s all about mutual respect and trust.

  656. ZaPaTa says:

    Bit late here to catch up. I can only agree with Mope.
    New members should be trusted. you all should know we founded *LAME* indeed because we could play as equals, nonetheless with different skill-levels.
    I don’t realy see a reason why he can’t join, that one insult is OK for me, it’s a minor one if you ask me 🙂

  657. JesseJames says:

    Hehe the history about your fish, what was the problem? 🙂

    Have fun with the friends!

  658. JesseJames says:

    @SAPE
    We know that he is from Portugal he is +/- 16 years, his father plays also SG.
    He loves football. And a few things I forgot.

    @Mope you are completely right, that was our point from me and ZaPa. We want a clan that is equal to eachother. No leader no lowwer members,etc. That is not fun for that guys.

  659. Sarah says:

    I couldn’t play on Thursday as I got carried away with my fish tank. I went to France for two weeks and when I got back there was a half eaten fish in my tank! So I had to sort that out.

    I also cant play this Thursday as I am going out for my friends birthday. Sorry I cant be there, have fun 🙂

  660. SAPE says:

    @Mope: I think you all right. It wasn’t good idea. LAMEs are equal.

    @Jippi: I agree. Not good to give him full admin right.

    Summarizing: Every *LAME* is equal, but I (maybe we) can’t trust him. I vote against him. Maybe he can join in the future.

    About Des.: What can we know about him? For example: how old is he? etc.

    • Mope says:

      I’m glad, Sape, that you understand me, that’s better this way, at least it will be right thing to do. If we can’t accept someone as a full member, because it’s a matter of trust, than sorry, and good luck. I’ve got enough hierarchy relationship at my job, let’s stay as we are – true gentlemen club. Liberté, égalité, fraternité!

  661. JesseJames says:

    Hehe nice Descon. 🙂

  662. Desconhecido says:

    hello i have a trick in tijuana but as dnt have tijuana map in topic i post here i image of trick . hope u like it 🙂

  663. JesseJames says:

    OK mope you’re right, let’s see what the other members will think.
    I didn’t taught so far that he could intrepretate it that he is less than the other.

  664. Wiskey says:

    Perhaps he can use *LAME* prefix if he permission to omit all the bad words. I think that if a few times one says “shit”, it does not hamper so but if it is often repeated during the game then we must talk to him about his language.

  665. Mope says:

    Not good idea at all. More than that, it’s offensive. Either give him the full Lame rights, either none. He will only feel discriminated among us with such restrictions. All Lames must be equal.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      As i say it before, its not good to give him full admin rights on the dashboard here.

  666. JesseJames says:

    edit:
    it was early in the morning

  667. Desconhecido says:

    have another way to that roof (1rst video) in the door in the other side .

  668. SAPE says:

    Or *lame* prefix instead of *LAME* prefix.

  669. Desconhecido says:

    here is the trick that i meant . the machine gun with that darkeness isnt possible see very well as i expected .but the trick is in that roof.:)

  670. Desconhecido says:

    i know a trick to go to a roof . after that houses have more 1 roof.:)

  671. Desconhecido says:

    well . now depend of map . because now my full fps is 40 +/- but my grafic card is low .
    but is normally in that map

  672. JippiJaYeah says:

    You have 19fps, is that normal?

  673. Desconhecido says:

    sry . couldnt make a video but i think the image stayed in a good angle .
    🙂

  674. JesseJames says:

    Oh gatling is good for everything. 🙂

  675. Desconhecido says:

    the map is called dm_aguacaliente or something like that

  676. JesseJames says:

    Hmm or a symbol?

  677. JippiJaYeah says:

    Well, maybe we can give him a prefix that it shows, that he is newcomer in the clan.

  678. JesseJames says:

    Hmm Ok I will talk to him and say that we don’t tolerate any slang-words or insults. We have now a good name in BB. 🙂

  679. SAPE says:

    I fought against him on BB. His favorite slang-word was “Shit”…. Insulting? Or not?
    Anyway, he is OK I think.

  680. Desconhecido says:

    yeah . perfecly 🙂

  681. JesseJames says:

    I was searching on internet for the translation :), Google translate was not my friend 🙂

  682. JesseJames says:

    Did it worked?

  683. JesseJames says:

    @Jippi so he can’t see the private pages you mean?

    BTW:SAPE he is from Portugal, that is a region were we don’t have players. 🙂

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      He will see all private pages (if the accessible set to everyone), but he will have limited rights on the Dashboard.

  684. Desconhecido says:

    ok thanks jippi . 🙂

  685. JippiJaYeah says:

    For me its`s ok to get in the future a new junior member, maybe.
    If he join, then it’s not a good idea to give him on our website admin privileges.

  686. JippiJaYeah says:

    The door is not important.
    You have to jump on the sign to get on the roof.

  687. Desconhecido says:

    that must be the moment that the door is closing ?
    and if it is . is very cool 🙂

  688. Mope says:

    “nishtyak” in Russian slang is “cool thing”.
    Your personal translator here.

  689. ZaPaTa says:

    Cant we find out about the mute penalty in the BB logs? Otherwise, i’m OK with Des. He already prooved to be a trustworthy player to join the TDM. Also I believe we got to cherish newer players,we cant let him wait an eternity while other clans are prob faster in their decisions. Disappointed players will leave the game if they got to waaaaiiit. And thats too bad when it comes to new players.

    • Biondo says:

      Can’t help you here guys, since I’m not admin any more.
      I just can give you my opinion: he is NOT used to insult, so probably it was just an occasional exclamation.

  690. Mope says:

    Sorry, I wasn’t there too, fell asleep, hard week. Zap, if you especially like some western movie, please suggest us.

  691. ZaPaTa says:

    Sorry i wasnt there, ive been a little ill the last couple of days so i spared myself the excitment of a TDM. Ive watched a lot of westerns nonetheless online, nice streamingsite ive discovered, veehd.con…Check it 🙂

  692. Mope says:

    BTW, I saw him muted once too. If we accept him, we must make it clear, no swearing is tolerated when fighting under Lame prefix!

  693. SAPE says:

    Anyway, where is Des from?

  694. Wiskey says:

    I saw him muted at Monday, or Tuesday. I am not sure which day. I remember only once mute so that is then OK. I only thinked to say that i am scared if he says bad thing in clan.

  695. JesseJames says:

    No problem Wiskey it’s nearby summer (so more thunderstorms and broken connections 🙂 ).

    Thanks to all the guys who played with us. Jippi was again outstanding, but i’am happy with my 2 second places. 🙂

  696. JesseJames says:

    IS that so Wiskey? I saw it once but OK that is possible. Or saw you it more than once? If that is a YES I think we can say it to him so he can change his mentality.

  697. Wiskey says:

    So, he has been sometimes mute warning, is this bad thing? If not, then I accept him for clan.

  698. Wiskey says:

    Sorry guys, in here was yesterday thunderstorm, so I had no possibilities to play. Maybe next time then

  699. Desconhecido says:

    REALlt good games . isnt tijuana my best . but did it some kills .
    Well played Lame clan.
    Ande the rest of thta played with us .

  700. Mope says:

    My opinion is OK, let’s let him join. I think he proved his intentions.

  701. JesseJames says:

    hey i’am back. Desconhecido asked me if we would him or not. We let him play a month,and his skills improved a lot. He plays a lot in Baller Bude and Terra Nova on Thursday. That is good for the *LAME* Spirit.

    Maybe he want it too much? (if that is a problem) And he is not an adult. (but his father plays also SG name:Ze Dos anzois).

    Please vote for Descon.

  702. JesseJames says:

    Greyman you play with us this evening? 🙂

  703. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you guys! 🙂

  704. JippiJaYeah says:

    Special thanks to you Sape.
    Indeed, a lot of truths in this song and a typical US Army song.
    Sounds good when the sound volume go to max.

    And we all a kind of life warrior, too.

  705. JesseJames says:

    Hope you got a nice holiday vincent? 🙂

  706. Vincent says:

    Hi guys first went on holiday but nishtyak Biondi Hello good deal

  707. JippiJaYeah says:

    Update Download Link.

  708. JippiJaYeah says:

    The Download Link is now update to http://www.smokin-guns.org/downloads .

    There you will find the major release 1.1 of Smokin Guns.

  709. Biondo says:

    We are not playing the old version (1.0), Zapata, we are playing the latest one (1.1).

  710. ZaPaTa says:

    So we play the OLD versions again!? why? Does anyone know why or what happened? It’s crucial for development of the game to play the BETA stuff…

  711. JippiJaYeah says:

    Normal way is uncool. 😉
    BTW: I never found your stairs.

  712. muffin says:

    i remember i put the stairs there for fun and i just forgot them to remove … now we have that “santa Claus passage” as Mope saied …

  713. Biondo says:

    I wrote to Téquila asking him to fix the situation in forum homepage including the link to SG 1.1 either atop of forum lists (as it was until last week) or as the first download link in Archives –> Downloads.

  714. Mope says:

    My special thanks to SlowlyJohn and Jippi, your help was significant in every aspect.

  715. SAPE says:

    I solved the problem too. Thanx Gringos! 🙂

  716. JippiJaYeah says:

    @Biondo:
    I think the pagination problem comes from using of page numbering.
    There is no problem when the comment comes from page 1.

    I disable the option for:
    Break comments into pages with top level comments per page and the page displayed by default

    Now it must work.

  717. JesseJames says:

    Ok nice to see you did it Mope! 🙂

  718. JesseJames says:

    Hey Sape,
    Never heard this song before,but their is a lot of truth in it. But indeed it’s time for another mix for the lame clan. (he is coming after the examns). And ofcourse if I use this (good) song, I will not ruin it.
    Tnx to share this song with us.

  719. Mope says:

    hippity hip hooray! I did it. Thanks, Biondo, or “The SG Good Spirit”. As always so patient, helpful and willing to help!

    My problem was in trying to run the game, taken from the SG forum Downloads Page: http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewforum.php?f=41 Something is probably wrong in those files.

    I’ve completely forgot about the SG site itself. Thanks, Biondo for referring me to this link. http://www.smokin-guns.org/downloads
    After wiping out and reinstalling the game completely, it has launched successfully. Thanks, again, Biondo, your step-by-step guidance helped me to find the solution.

    See you in game, guys.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      You downloaded first the Release Candidate (SG RC1), not the Release. Only the final and published version of a software called Release. Conclusion, you downloaded the wrong version.

      • Mope says:

        Yeah, of course, you right Jippi. But see, it not written anywhere else. For me , the lame user, RC could mean also “runs clean” or “really cool” release. Try to enter the lamer mind, Jippi ))

  720. JippiJaYeah says:

    I made this post sticky.

  721. Desconhecido says:

    my problem is solve and expect and your too . thanks a lot guys. 🙂

  722. Biondo says:

    It’s not that difficult, I think.

    – remove (or move to a different directory) your old game directory
    – remove (or move to a different directory) also your user SG directory. Keep q3config.cfg (and eventually other config files you have created) for future use. To know where to find your user SG directory, see this FAQ http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/faq/configuration-file/
    – download ‘OS Independent archive’ from here: http://www.smokin-guns.org/downloads (alternatively, you can download the ‘Windows installer’)
    – extract it where you want
    – open the game and allow downloading via settings menu or via console (\seta cl_allowdownload 1)
    – play

    If it works, overwrite your new q3config.cfg with the old one.

    Attention: In case the problem is a repeated download of the file baseq3/pak0.pk3, follow these instructions: http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?p=23967&f=34#p23967

    Attention: With SG 1.1 you won’t be able to play in Jeuxlinux and other servers that haven’t upgraded to 1.1 yet.

  723. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    I’s like to share with you:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTs6a0ORdQU

    I offer it to Jippi, and I offer it to Jesse, because It would be a good base of a mix, but if you will mix it, please treat it with gently, because it is an epic song for many people, for many warriors.

  724. Slowly John says:

    @Sape:

    i like that what jippi does:

    download:http://www.smokin-guns.org/downloads/Smokin_Guns_1.1.zip

    unzip the files at a new folder.

    then replace the old baseq3-folder-files with the new baseq3-folder-files.

    …and then: do the same with all(*) of files from the new underfolder “smokinguns”.

    (*) but attention: do not overwrite your old default.cfg!!! if you not want replace your own player-configuration 😉

    good look my friend!!!

  725. SAPE says:

    I have the same problem with 1.0, 1.1b4 and 1.1bt too.
    Error: Couldn’t download “smokinguns/sg_pak0.pk3”.
    I don’t understand…

  726. MadHarry says:

    Hello guys,
    I cannot play Ballerbude because of the “vm_create on UI failed” problem. I reinstalled the game, allowed downloads, but there is somenthing wrong with “bad checksum” when downloading “pako.pk3″ etc. files. How to solve it?
    May be installing the older version of SG would help? Can you share the link to the proper version with me?
    Cheers,
    Mad Harry

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      The server is upgrade to SG1.1.
      You must download SG1.1.
      Old version don’t work.

  727. MadHarry says:

  728. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys I downloaded the pack yesterday and it works perfectly. Btw the maps of Terra NOva are also in Ballerbude now. 🙂

    Hope the problems will be solved soon for you guys!

  729. Gage says:

    I have a 30 30 windchester from the battle of custer. My grandfarther traded one gallon of wine with a native american cheaf. It is in ruff condition but i have got multipule experts to look at it and conferm that it is from the battle of custer. They told me that there is a very large chance of it being in this battle.

  730. Mope says:

    I did it, Jippi, several times, from different packs, all of them, still can’t connect.

  731. JippiJaYeah says:

    Just download SG1.1.zip and extract it in a separate Folder “Smokin’ Guns 1.1”.
    Thats all, it works for me.

  732. Biondo says:

    I think there are many many many people with the same problem, because it’s all day that I see players trying to connect, without success.

    Please, post a comment in forum. The more persons complaining, the faster will be an answer.

  733. Mope says:

    Hmm. No matter how hard I tried, switched the files, launched all possible versions, downloaded 2 times… nothing works, the same error shows up. I see there are other people on the forum with the same problem. Hope they’ll fix it soon, it’s frustrating.

  734. ZaPaTa says:

    Ah I was thinking I was the only one..Get the same error Mope! I’ll try 1.1, see if I got it somewhere…GL!

  735. ZaPaTa says:

    Pretty true I’m not moving at all when getting shot 🙂

  736. ZaPaTa says:

    Check the first second, i get killed somewhere in the beginning (you see the consol in the top) I’m nothing more than collateral damage 😀

  737. Mope says:

    I can’t connect now. I’m getting the message that it’s trying to download “sg_pak0.pk3” file from the server, no matter that I’ve updated all the files from the new download pack (from the SG site). It never succeeds in downloading this file.
    Please, help?

  738. Biondo says:

    Ballerbude, Special Bude and terra Nova are now using SG 1.1. You shouldn’t experience problems connecting, but if you do try playing with SG 1.1 (released today).

  739. Desconhecido says:

    Jaimie Oliver is proud to see how you handle knives, Biondo!

  745. Mope says:

    Again, I’m too embarrassed to talk about my behavior. Please, don’t tell about this incident this to my boss.

  746. Mope says:

    Seems like Wiskey, not me 🙂

  747. Mope says:

    Oh, I’m a monster! Shame, shame on me!

  748. JippiJaYeah says:

    Might be Mope fell in love. 😉

  749. JippiJaYeah says:

    See my knife close to Sarah. 😉

  752. ZaPaTa says:

  753. Wiskey says:

    Now I understand why Sarah kill me immediately. I only stay on place. But it is still hard to shoot moving player.

  756. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thank you SAPE.
    I will try to take a video of one or two players from our Thursday Deathmatch . I have four videos from the last Deathmatch, but two of them have lags, so i couldn’t use them.
    I will hope we have a little memory open.

    Hehe, that would be nice to have a own flag to set it.
    Then everybody could fight for it.

  762. ZaPaTa says:

    But everyone forgot to plant a flag! where’s the *LAME*flag on top of it!? You forgot to sadle your horses with it, didn’t you!

  763. ZaPaTa says:

    No chance in lake, that’s right!

    Hehe tnx Descon, what was it increddible today, we tried it with Papa, Az, Jack. Everyone was jumping and crouching without shooting on us. 🙂
    Very nice and funny. And i’am happy that i’am on of they only who can do the trick. 🙂

  779. Desconhecido says:

    yeah… my ping, try to do my best .depend of map of course

  780. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hey Gringos,

    is there any funny tricks you know, please leave a message here. I make a short video of it.

    Jippi

  781. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thank you Desconhecido to stay with us in our clan war.
    For your bad ping you made good ranking.

    I’m glad to found Shape on BallerBude, so that i could give him a remember to come to clan war. He made a marvelous game in the 4th game.

  782. Biondo says:

    @Jippi: you probably know it, there is also another way to go over the roof of that house: through the small window in the attic.

  783. Desconhecido says:

    WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW that place to stay . free kills every time 🙂
    Very Nice

  784. Desconhecido says:

    It was a pleasure jessejames to have this fun games with *LAME* clan .it was very nic . i expect to go next weak … see u in game Lame .

    Very nice work Jippi.

  786. Desconhecido says:

    ty jippi 🙂

  787. Desconhecido says:

    very nice too see nice places to stay to kill some players 🙂

  788. ZaPaTa says:

    Well I bow! A deep bow full of respect, what a great collection of tricks there. I love the way of using a gatling as a stepladder. (is this right english?) I’ll try it, I’m sure in this way there must be even more tricks. Well, first collect the money for a gatlin. Anyone funding me? XD

    I even love the looks of the gifs. It’s a great style. Thanks Jippie!

  789. ZaPaTa says:

    I’ll try it! it’s such a great spot. How many times did I shot you off that roof Jippie!?

  790. ZaPaTa says:

    hehe and after a couple of times we started to shoot each other because we were so desperate cause we didn’t manage to get on the roof. Epic funny!

  791. ZaPaTa says:

    That must be a very nice spot there.

  792. Slowly John says:

    so funny!!! thx 😀

  793. JesseJames says:

    Hahah this is EPIC!

  794. Biondo says:

    LOL. Wonderful!

  795. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hm…, i’m wondering about AwesomePossum shadow.
    Never seen shadows from other players in gameplay.

  796. JippiJaYeah says:

    Don’t jump exactly on the doorknob, more a little bit left of it. After second jump from doorknob to wall, you have quickly to crunch before you reach on the wall under the roof corner.
    For first try use local gameplay.

  797. JesseJames says:

    Good that you are still alive, and you follow us. 🙂
    It’s a pity that you don’t find the time to play with us but real life is more important than a game, keep that in mind.
    And yes we will keep BB keep running, and I think there is a better time now than 3 monts ago. More new players, if you play you will always find a player in Baller Bude and that is a good sign.

  798. Mope says:

    Santa Claus passage!

    sry that i am not a part of the sg gaming crowd past months, but i am to much binded in privat and working issues so i rarely find time to calm down to enjoy a good old western masacre 😉

    be sure guys, i follow your actions and keep BB running as long as possible !

    lovely regards
    @spi

  800. JesseJames says:

    Oh yes, but Fuzzy shot me and I had not the time to try it again 🙂

  801. JesseJames says:

    WOw again a new trick. 🙂

  802. JesseJames says:

    Ah OK now I see it 🙂
    WHy not make it Public, it’s nothing cheating or so, just jusing the faults? in the maps. 🙂

  803. JippiJaYeah says:

    I was surprised to find you on the roof in my last Tillian game. 🙂

  804. JippiJaYeah says:

    You find HOW TO… in the menu? 😉

    This menu is private, only accessible for lame members.
    Maybe we will open it to the public.

  805. JesseJames says:

    Huh what is the context of this page? 🙂 Than I will vote. 🙂

  806. JesseJames says:

    Haha thank you Jipp! I tried it a few days ago and it was the first time that i could jump on the roof. After a year of 2 🙂

  807. JippiJaYeah says:

    Please vote!

  808. Biondo says:

    Absolutely I can’t get to go over the roof from that tree. Tried hundreds of times! 🙂

  809. Biondo says:

    Absolutely I can’t get to go over the roof from that tree. Tried hundreds of times! 🙂

  810. JesseJames says:

    Indeed it looks very western. Tnx

  811. JesseJames says:

    hehe I remember me a Weekly deadmatch in the begin where Biondo, Zapa and I and maybe other players did this trick and don’t shoot eachoter. Really funny. 🙂

  812. JesseJames says:

    Oh i love your tricks Jippi 🙂 The trick on the wall I never succeeded too 🙂
    Gatlings are so usefull for all kind of things :).

    The next video the trick with the tree in Tillian? 🙂

  813. Biondo says:

    There’s also another way to get to the roofs: turn left, instead of right and jump over the open door of the window. Not easy anyhow.

  814. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thank you Biondo, didn’t find this ‘easy’ solution.
    The little bullet looks great.

  815. JippiJaYeah says:

    @Biondo:

    I reduce the gifs to minimum of colors and less dither. The result is a minimum of megabyte.

  816. JippiJaYeah says:

    Maybe it’s important to you set in the config.cfg com_maxfps=62, otherwise, if you reach the wall you fall down.

  817. Biondo says:

    I never succeeded too …
    BTW, I love these 3 movies, Jippi. Those little ants in the second are really funny, and the third has something of 8 bit games. Well done.

  818. Mope says:

    The first picture… even after you’ve showed me this trick I’ve never succeeded in this. True ninja style.

  819. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys I will share this video with you. It’s a clip of a number of Gigi D’Agostino but with cowboys. It’s very funny and so you will forget the bad song. 🙂

    Enjoy it 🙂

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4Uj96RBprE&feature=relmfu

  820. Biondo says:

    Added pagination to comments.
    It appears when more than 15 comments are present, but you can change the number in WP settings (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/options-discussion.php?settings-updated=true).

    I tried to apply the same style of posts’ pagination, with the side effect that the Colt bullet is displayed also in pages without 15 comments (=without pagination). I think it doesn’t matter, though.

    Bye,

    Biondo

  821. JesseJames says:

    Hey Desconhecido, the ugly his favourite job in SG is to irritate other people I think. 🙂
    But he have a mutate so he can’t irritate other people with his words. 🙂

  822. Desconhecido says:

    Theugly – The Dynamite man .
    why he dont use other guns ? why he have just use dynamite ? then i call him that. 🙂
    i think is the perfect name for him.

  823. Desconhecido says:

    very intersting biography of geronimo`s.
    Well done Grey. and thx

  824. Desconhecido says:

    very gatling guns there . i like gatling but if had more municion . everyone would use it

  825. Desconhecido says:

    very good!sape

  826. Desconhecido says:

    i like it very much . and with another one . stay much powerfull

  827. Slowly John says:

    really, so true Mope. i hope, that all who want to make war and action, go for this to virtual games. i mean, virtual games are very important in our times, because she can compensate the wish to kill in life. let us kill the bits and bytes 🙂

    greetings & nice evening

  828. JippiJaYeah says:

    Personal interests has no page numbers anymore…
    Only @Biondo can make page number to the theme, i can´t.
    Maybe he will think about it.

  829. Slowly John says:

    hey Vince,

    please say us something about your life. i know the town königsberg from stories, because my half family come from there. my grandpa lived befor the 2 world war in gumbinnen and his father was an mayor there. my family had a farm and grand trakehner breeding, but many lost at the first world war (the best, the competition horses was recruited from army) and then all of the the rest, a new breeding from the little rest (allow from “first war army”, because there work on own farm for food), recruited in the second world war… hard times for all people everywhere. my grandma told me, enthused from the “land of dark forests and crystal lakes”… until her death befor a few years. what for a beautiful landscape and so lovely people.

    best regards & a nice evening

    • Mope says:

      Very interesting story, John. It’s a pity, we see those noble animals less and less. Once domesticated, they’ve tied their destiny with the human kind, but now there’s less need of them, and the horse is following the steps of the disappearing Iberian bull.

  830. SAPE says:

    Hi!

    Good matches, GG all.
    After the first map, I had net connection problems, so I couldn’t play in the secound and the third…. 🙁

  831. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: it runs 🙂

    nice weekend @all

  832. Slowly John says:

    hello friends,
    sorry for my late answer, i am to busy with a lot of heavy stuff at the moment… (but something is good stuff, a tablet :-))

    @Biondo: thank you, i will test it at weekend! thx also for the good fight yesterday. are the bots become better? i suspect that PeaceMaker a personal score to settle with me, and he use my lag.
    @JesseJames: yes, yesterday i has a short time to play… and then… annoying technology…
    @Vincent: Добро пожаловать!
    @PeaceMaker: Ну, погоди!!! 😀

    greetings
    john

  833. JesseJames says:

    Hey John I saw that you were trying to join us, thanks for that.
    Vince also nice that you joined us, Welcome!
    Biondo also nice to meet you in our Weekly Clan match.
    Desconhecido your last game was very good, keep practising

    Tiny desert was like always a real hell, 3 minutes for 30 kills,… Well played Sarah!
    Second game was very close to Sarah and Biondo.

    The first map was a nice map never played before there and I was happy with my score.

    Thanks all for a very nice game evening.

    NOw it’s time for songcontest :).

  834. Slowly John says:

    hello & good evening
    it is a little bit pity, i miss the “dm_aquacaliente.bsp” in my sg for playing on terra nova. it is not on ftp server. where is the file please?
    best regards
    john

  835. JesseJames says:

    Oh I see the last new thing about the recents comments, that is very handy.
    And yes I hope you can work with pagenumbers, like personal interests,..

  836. JippiJaYeah says:

    @Biondo:
    Some pages are very long.
    It is possible to set page numbers?

  837. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yes, i edit this member page, and yes, the pics are coffins, one for REM and two for Biondo, because he has left us twice.

    Scusa, for mess writing, i have a new keyboard.

    @Mope: If you will, you can edit or find a new better pic for a coffin.

  838. JesseJames says:

    Ah ok now I see it 🙂
    Tnx stranger to edit our page! 🙂

    • Mope says:

      As I said, I didn’t edit this page. Probably Jippi did.But I’ll fix the icon if he permits.

  839. Desconhecido says:

    will do my best . because my computer dont let me play more then i do now my graphics card is bad.

  840. Mope says:

    These are coffins, scaled down, try to look at them in full size. Whoever did this, please consider, that pixel-art graphics cannot be scaled – they become blurry.

  841. JesseJames says:

    Nice Biondo? That you made a list with the old members. But what means the stones next to your name? 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      No, I didn’t. And they don’t look like stones in my monitor, but like turds. :/
      BTW, his name wasn’t Remsletraud, but REMSLETRUAND, and “Fromer” is better written “Former” 😀
      Thank you anyway, to the *LAME* member that have added this memory. <3

    • Biondo says:

      Don’t take me seriously, unknown editor … I appreciated your intentions. And moreover you made me laugh, so I’m grateful 2 times. I love you.

  842. JesseJames says:

    Hope you will take your chance. 🙂

  843. Desconhecido says:

    why not . challenge accepted
    :). and thanks

  844. JesseJames says:

    Hey Desconhecido, we decided that we will watch you for a month or two and see who your skills evolve in the future, and see if you like SG and BallerBude. And that you play often,etf.
    Are you in?

  845. JesseJames says:

    Heeh 2 weeks after the match the screens are here 🙂
    It were the most incredible games ever!

  846. ZaPaTa says:

    That must be the moment you really don’t like people amongst you who are that cold.

    Anyway, back on topic, Jesse asked me to upload the scores of our Pink Tribute night.
    Here they are, for a full BB-server. What a games!

    1

    2

    3

  847. JesseJames says:

    OK I agree also, because he need time to improve his skills (I learned him some tricks,etc.) So if anyone see him in game you can tell him that we will wait a bit and watch him. OK?

  848. Mope says:

    Desconhecido’s a very fresh player. It’s hard to be sure, if he suits us. We can tell him, that the clan needs a couple of months to observe him. If he still wishes to join, at least it could mean he really likes our clan and his intention is not just to add a colorful prefix to his nickname. I vote no, at least, for now.

  849. JesseJames says:

    I saw it also, don’t know what the meaning is of his new name.

    edit: the meaning of his name is unknown” or “stranger” in Portugese.

  850. JippiJaYeah says:

    He is also to me very friendly.
    But he use an alias “ASSHOLE”.
    Not a big thing, but not lame style.
    Better watch him and give him some advice.

  851. JesseJames says:

    Ok everyone what will we do with Desconhecido? He is a friendly player from Portugal but he plays for 1,2 weeks now and that is not much. So I think we can wait a bit and watch him.

  852. Desconhecido says:

    ok no problem . im going to the game right now 😀 meet you there.i do what i can do . and if that isnt enought i will go do more then that .

  853. JesseJames says:

    Hey Desconhecido, nice to see you here on our site.
    I will discuss first with the other clanmembers if we accept you, because you are pretty new and we want loyal players.
    I will say in game or here if we take you, OK?

    Greetz
    Jesse James

  854. Desconhecido says:

    hello . jesse james i came to your site to see this . and i would like to go in the clan . i always enter in ballerbude server . i will talk to you when i find you in the game .
    Pleasure to put in site in my favorites.

  855. JesseJames says:

    @Zapata jep maybe your english is better to write a nice text for on the homepage?

  856. JippiJaYeah says:

    My first experience with an earthquake i had in Afghanistan 2006.
    My office was on the third floor of an Russian building (build in 1980). The earthquake had a magnitude of 5-6 and it was so real that I immediately thought the building will drop down.
    My companion was meanwhile cool. He said, he knows that already, and besides, just someone working with the hammer on a pillar. Arrghhh….

  857. ZaPaTa says:

    Welcome to the clan! Does Vinc know it already? Time for a major post/announcement, no?

  858. ZaPaTa says:

    I believe you when you say it’s scary. Never felt an earthquake, must be a very strange & freeky feeling. Good to hear everything is alright.

  859. Biondo says:

    I’m glad to see that *LAME*s have 10 members again 😉
    Vincent, have fun with your new mates!

  860. dansh says:

    PS: Google-translate translates very funny.

  861. dansh says:

    Hi guys. I know Vincent. We are living on one street. Good friend.
    I congratulate you clan with the addition of Russian friend.

  862. JesseJames says:

    Hehe yep that is what i would to say 🙂 We love google translate!

  863. Slowly John says:

    привет Винсента,
    клан пытался связаться с вами.
    Напишите письмо по адресу:
    wardschoutteten [at] hotmail [dot] com
    Тогда вы узнаете все.
    Привет из Германии 🙂

  864. Biondo says:

    Yes, that earthquake (L’Aquila) was a true disaster, with many victims and an historical town half destroyed.
    That happened in a high density inhabited area, with a soil of rock, and was also stronger. Earthquakes of these days (yesterday, today, …) happen in an area with less inhabitants, a deep soil of clay (that absorbs the shakes) and was less strong.
    In any case it’s still scary.

  865. JesseJames says:

    ah oef! I saw the images a few days ago from L’Aquila (they are busy with make all new buildings or restore them. That was I think a very strong earthquake,..

  866. Biondo says:

    No problem, thank you.

    Here in my town it has been perceived very well. At 4:00 in the night we were abruptly woken by the strong shakes. It lasted less than 1 minute, with smaller shakes at later times. No damage in my town, but not so far from here some buildings collapsed killing people.
    Fortunately it has been way less disastrous than L’Aquila’s earthquake , in year 2009.

  867. JesseJames says:

    I heard it also,(pff again Italy )was a great earthquake,please give a sign.
    There was 1 minute silence in the giro d’italia.

  868. JippiJaYeah says:

    @Biondo:

    Hope everything is alright after earthquake with you?

  869. ZaPaTa says:

    Sorry i wasnt there, these are holidays here in Belgium so i ended up with a busy schedule.

  870. ZaPaTa says:

    You can tell him ingame too. Im ok with vinc joining the clan. He’s funny too XD

  871. JesseJames says:

    Hey vincent

    I write you this mail because you are one of the LAME members now. 🙂
    Hoorayyyy!!!!
    About your english you can use Googletranslate and mope will translate, if you have questions, or an opinion.
    I hope we see you every thursday in our clanmatches, and on our blog.
    If you have questions just ask. Hope you enjoy it, and improve your skills.

    We find you a very good player always behaved,etc so a good LAME member 🙂

    See you in game
    Jesse James

    BTW: give me your real mailadress, because the two you used here are not real 🙂

  872. JesseJames says:

    HMm the 2 emailadresses he used here are not real,… So I can’t write him a mail. 🙁
    SO I will left here a message on our blog.

  873. JesseJames says:

    Ok i will write him a mail that he can join our clan. 🙂

    Hooray another member in our club, and a new country. 🙂

  874. Sarah says:

    Yeah I don’t mind if Vincent joins the clan.

  875. Mope says:

    I’m OK with Vincent apply to join the clan, he really wants to join us and told us so several times. Also he has participated in some of our clan matches, he’s friendly and well-skilled player.

    The only thing I’m concerned about is his contribution to the clan life, even on the basis of writing comments. We must encourage him to participate anyway, even if he’s got some language barriers.

    Of course Vincent can and must use the Google translator to communicate with the clan, if he joins us. I will assist to translate form Russian and to Russian if anybody needs my assistance.

  876. JesseJames says:

    Oh I taught that you know Russian. 🙂

  877. JippiJaYeah says:

    I told him he should wait until all members have advice final.
    I use google translator and hope it will be correct or something like that.

  878. JesseJames says:

    OK only mope ,Sarah and Zapa did not answered yet, but I think they don’t have a problem with him.

    And yes mope can help him with english.
    So i think we can conclude that we take Vincent? But he can’t make pages here in our blog?

    Btw: Jippi what did you said to Vincent? 🙂

  879. JippiJaYeah says:

    Привет Винсент, который советует Lamclan почти все члены вашей поступления в клан. Пожалуйста, будьте терпеливы. Мы сообщим вам, как только мы, наконец, решена.

  880. Wiskey says:

    I vote also for Vincent. He is silent but he is friendy.

  881. SAPE says:

    I vote for Vinc. And maybe Mope can help in language. I think he can speak him on his mother language, if it necessary, because he can’t understand something.

  882. JippiJaYeah says:

    Well, i think, the language is not a main problem – we do have hand & feets for communication too. 😉

    Pro for Vincent is that he stay with us in the last thursdays deathmatches.

    If he meets us, then it’s not a good thing to give him admin rights here.

    SO 3 players are PRO Vince, 0 against.

  883. JesseJames says:

    I have also not many problems with players. 🙂 But good to see your opinion. 🙂
    SO 2 players are PRO Vince, 0 against. 🙂

  884. Slowly John says:

    hm, i remember me on Vincent as a good, friendly and
    fair player. and it is no secret, that my english is also
    not so bombastic 😉 .
    i like vince, but my own view is not important, because
    i have so less problems with the most players and i can
    therefore also difficult to differentiate. what think the
    team? greetings from john @all

  885. JesseJames says:

    Ok hey guys, Vincent would join our clan but his english is bad said he. What will we do?
    Pro:
    He is a good player
    He don’t insult other players
    he plays frequently

    Negative
    you can communicate very difficult with him, because his English is bad.
    So if we make posts maybe he don’t understand the posts, events, new pages.

    Ok shoot what do you think about him.

  886. Vincent says:

    Guys, i want to enter your clan, but my english bad.

  887. JesseJames says:

    Heheh our almighty god is back 🙂

  888. Biondo says:

    @Jippi: If you set \cg_forcemodel 1 (default value is 0), during non-team-based gametypes, you will see all player models look like yours.

  889. JesseJames says:

    I don’t have a femalecostume, I think. 🙂

  890. JesseJames says:

    Good games guys, in game 1 Jippy was outstaning (and that in his female costume). For the second place it was clost with me,Sarah and mope.
    Wisey i’am happy that your ping is finally good!

    Game 2 and 3 Sarah is outstanding like always, I find it a pity that my score is not good in Lake because i had a good start.

    Thanks all!

  891. Mope says:

    Results:

    1



    2



    3

  892. JesseJames says:

    Ok i will give them to ZAPA he will look for it. Grr why i have such a bad knowledge about PC’s. 🙂

  893. JesseJames says:

    Yep it’s in the beta, tiny desert is the name of the map. Very nice map BTW. If you play with many players it’s awesome!

  894. |RP|SERBIA says:

    What is name of this map? It’s in the 1.1b5 right?

  895. SAPE says:

    Very nice Brother! 🙂

  896. JesseJames says:

    Haha Nice Mope! 🙂

  897. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yeaha, fire in the air. 🙂

  898. Sarah says:

    Thanks very much Biondo 🙂

  899. Biondo says:

    @Sarah: .tga files can be opened/edited/converted with photo editors (one for all, TheGimp).

    If you want to save screenshots as .jpeg instead, you can add this bind in your q3config.cfg:

    bind F12 “screenshotjpeg”

    This way, F11 will save a .tga, while F12 will save a .jpeg.

  900. JesseJames says:

    @Sarah ok you can send them to me, or you can post them.

    • Sarah says:

      Ok I don’t know how to post them so I will email them to you. Also how do you open a screen shot file?

  901. Wiskey says:

    One button and everything is instantly confused. Funny.

  902. Wiskey says:

    Thursday Baller in the Bude was completely crazy day. Many times the server was nearly full when the people came to play, Boat and Train were completely go crazy. At the same time we saw a few new players. Thank you for Biondo about what you did for the clan.

  903. JesseJames says:

    Ok send it, so i can make it history. 🙂

  904. JesseJames says:

    Guys/girl it was insane in Ballerbude. Games with 13 players (and they are all good). It was running shooting and don’t think too much. I hope the BR players will have the taste for DM and play more DM in Baller Bude.

    Thanks all, for the many great games!

    Biondo I hope you liked it? And yes you are still one of us.

  905. SAPE says:

    We love you Biondo. It was the minimum, we could do for you.
    Thanks everything.

  906. Biondo says:

    But I know the idea of this B day originated from Sape. So, ty Sape!!

  907. Biondo says:

    No, Zapa designed it! Sorry I couldn’t concentrate in the fight. Nice, Zapa!

  908. Biondo says:

    Wow nice surprise! So many players in baller. I was astonished, and also muted by myself 🙂

    Who designed the banner? Sape? Nice banner, and thank you.

    I lost 2 against 30. Maybe it had been a good idea to leave you 😉

    Thanks mates. <3

  909. Mope says:

    Zapata, adorable illustration! Cool the blue dots (the bullet holes)! Biondo, please be there, so we could kill you as much times as we miss you ))

  910. JesseJames says:

    Very nice Graphic Zapa, everything is true on the banner.

    BTW: in 11 days the site is 1 year old,…

  911. ZaPaTa says:

    Howdy Kids,
    Biondo once asked me why I didn’t post a graphic.
    I believe this is an appropriate time to do so. You’ll find my tribute banner in the original post above.
    Do you recognize the evil santa Biondo made in his caLAMEdar 2012? Biondo said once he looked a bit like him so I used it as his portrait.

    Hope to see a lot of you online tonight. Remember. No TN today, we make a stand in BB!

    Cheers,
    Zapa

    • SAPE says:

      Very good. Great work Zap.
      I hope you will make lots of nice picture in the future.
      I like your style Bro.

  912. Wiskey says:

    Maybe I come there at 19.00

    I am sorry I have not been very active in the game. I installed Windows again, and I made a small mistake which means that I lost my data from an external hard drive. I am now trying to restore them.

  913. JesseJames says:

    GRENAAAAAAAADEEEEEEE! YEK YEK YEK!!

  914. ZaPaTa says:

    What your up to Jippie? you know that bank robbery in real-life isn’t tolerated 😀

    It’s a good tribute SAPE, I’ll join of course. TO AAAAAAARMS!

  915. ZaPaTa says:

    One final shot, one last very nice poster. I see you used the lake-background. We had a good laugh there. I will treasure the good times we had. Indeed Barto, Lame is a good word, but the end is the beginning, so I’m happy to see you, Biondo, made up your mind and I’m curious what things are next on your to-do list, and with what project you’ll take care of now. I’m sure we see each other in game, maybe on Jabber.

    And thanks for anything, helping lifting up this clan, this site, SG…to much, really, to mention. As Sarah already said, the clan won’t be the same.

    thank you.

  916. Slowly John says:

    bb my friend, see you soon in the game

  917. Biondo says:

    Thanks to all of you. See you in game for more fun.

  918. JippiJaYeah says:

    Gringos, sorry, in the next week i can’t stay with my lame members – have to join real weapons. 😉

  919. JesseJames says:

    It’s a good statement SAPE, I will join you in BB.
    And indeed Biondo is even good like in the good old days. 🙂

  920. SAPE says:

    Yep. I hope he will join us too. 🙂

  921. Mope says:

    Hey, Biondo has left the clan, not the Smokin’Guns. He still runs fast with his shotgun and throws pretty sharp knives all around.

  922. SAPE says:

    Hm… I can’t find the word… I wish you will come back sooner or later… This is your home my friend. We love you.

  923. JesseJames says:

    That makes me a bit emotional Biondo, such a nice poster. But if this is you decision I respect that. I hope that we meet eachoter in game and our Weekly DM ,on Jabber,…

    But Biondo I will have that you are staying with our members that we love, a bit a medal of honour for you, if you agree. Without you was LAME not the clan it is nowadays.

    Gringo, CIAOOOOO. And thanks for everything.

  924. Wiskey says:

    All good come to an end, so also Biondo * LAME * membership.

  925. Mope says:

    The Beginning is the End is the Beginning ))

  926. Barto says:

    I am really surprised and shocked about this. I thought that it was Your Clan.

    Hard to find the words but this is so… lame… 🙁

    I know that you are a typical lonesome cowboy into this community but lame clan was just fitting you.

    Take your horse, have a ride and see you soon Biondo.

  927. JesseJames says:

    Hehe I heard that is hot in Hungary this days more than 30 degrees,.. Than it’ s normal that sometimes there is a summerstorm. No problem SAPE.

  928. SAPE says:

    Sorry Brothers. There was a big storm yesterday night in my homeplace. My net connection was out of order. 🙁

  929. JesseJames says:

    Hehe so I feel me in Jeuxlinux often, running shooting but no kills. 🙂


    This is one of the best commercials ever, and it’s Belgian. 😀 Look how many people watched the video in 1 month,…

  930. JesseJames says:

    Thanks for the screens mope. I had a good night I think. 🙂
    And I’am curious of the movie of Jippi 🙂

    The first game wasn’t very close. 🙂 But the second was very hard, every time I crossed the street I was dead.

    Thanks for the games, and hope we see eachother in Special Bude.

  931. Mope says:

    Ha-ha! Let’s fight! Just wanted to share this clip with you.
    So funny.

  932. Mope says:

    GG all, here are the results (very nice, Jesse!):


    shot0033


    shot0036


    shot0037

  933. JesseJames says:

    Good to hear you Slowly John! 🙂

  934. Slowly John says:

    sorry friends, i am at work tonight 🙁
    have fun & see you soon

  935. ZaPaTa says:

    ehe right, it’s a different server, forgot about that =)

  936. JesseJames says:

    Ok no problem Sarah! 🙂

    Why next week zapa, because it’s time enough for everyone to know it :). Because now if you don’t read it today and you connect to TN and don’t see anybody,…

  937. Sarah says:

    I cant play tonight but have fun 🙂

  938. SAPE says:

    OK, next week a special clan DM in Special Bude.
    Today I am in. Maps: Lake and Tijuana
    cu

  939. ZaPaTa says:

    I’m in tonight!
    Sounds like fun JJ, so why next week?
    It has been a while since we played the fun ‘Lake’ map with winnies.
    I call a vote for that map!

  940. Sarah says:

    Biondo I am sad to hear of your decision, it wont be the same without you.

    Hope to play with you soon 🙂

  941. Biondo says:

    Don’t fear, I’m reading what you are saying. But I need time to thank each one of you personally for the nice time we have spent together.
    I would also post something public, so there will be no doubt about the fact that it has been my decision, and not something bad.

    Give me time.

  942. Wiskey says:

    Biondo, hope I see you in BB. Thanks for your help in my game problems.

  943. ZaPaTa says:

    I stand aside for a while so I had the time to read incoming posts.
    Biondo, at least you can tell us why ‘our’ interest are no longer the same.
    Where is this dark landscape? Take your time to work and finish the SG-sitebuilding. It’s not because you don’t have the time to update it here, that you have to quit. Just go on, and come back later…
    I give you what I could think, from my point of view: this period seems to be the first crisis for SG since the existence of *LAME*. And right now, now that the boat is sinking, you quit our boat. What help is that to *LAME* or even SG? If there is a time to stay and work toward a more stable clan-environment it’s now.
    You seem to forget we were kids who played the game, not developing.
    Our part so far hasn’t been in contributions of modelling, developing, building SG. We’re a clan, we play – with commitment- yet, for fun. I feel like you blame us for doing so, like we didn’t play our part so far, being lazy, to watch from the sideline…
    Please, reconsider. Think what a clan is for. Think if you blame us for some reason. Think of the interest as a clan, its grow and its survival.
    Hope to hear of you,
    the best,

    Zapa

  944. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: thank you for everything my dear Friend!
    see you soon

  945. JesseJames says:

    You are here with us for 1 great year. We started the clan but you took it over, and now we are here with 10 great guys/girl. We have a good reputation in BB, I have also to say that i will be an admin in Circus Novus the new server op XOP. Every great clan in SG will have some admins.
    Hope we see eachother often on Thursday and in BallerBude. You are always welcome and hope you see we will miss you.
    And when i’am online in trillian we can talk, or we see you here in Lame-clan. If you have time you can post things because you are a legend in Smokinguns!!

  946. JippiJaYeah says:

    I can’t stay for too long in the same place.

    Don’t let that hear your wife! 😉

    cu, friend.

  947. Biondo says:

    OK, ok, don’t take it personal. I have been impulsive, as sometimes I am (I also left BallerBude yesterday night, after another discussion with TheDoctor) … But for me it’s time I go. I can’t stay for too long in the same place.

    See you around. I hope you don’t forget we are friends.

  948. JippiJaYeah says:

    But why they haven’t published a private post?

    I turn the thread into private.

    There is no big deal to play also other games, but to make it as a public proposal it’s not good way.

  949. JesseJames says:

    Indeed Biondo it’s not our intention to let SG go. It taught it was a good idea to let other new people play in SG because it’s the best game ever.
    You are the weels of our (LAME) car. Without you it will not the same. We appreciate all your work with the forum , and all other things. I find that it’s better than before.

    Think twice before you leave. 🙁 I think that the communication is a bit weak because maybe we can’t explain our feeling about this.
    Hope you will change your mind,please.

  950. SAPE says:

    Biondo, don’t do that! You are very important, essential part of the LAME clan. Stop it please!

  951. Mope says:

    Hi all. I’ve tried UT in the past, but it’s not my game. It lacks the RPG features SG has. Biondo, please, don’t rush, let the time show the tendencies. Playing other games is not a crime, every gamer checks games from time to time, like sommelier is checking new sorts of wine, but he sure has his favorite. And sorry, you can’t leave the clan, you’re the clan.

    There’s a joke:
    Wife shouts at her husband:
    – You’re always cheating on me!
    Husband:
    – I’m not cheating, I’m comparing, to be sure, you’re the best woman in the world!

  952. Wiskey says:

    No Jesse, I don’t leave SG, I only want to play also other games. Biondo, that is sad to listen.

  953. Biondo says:

    Sorry. While working at new SG forum and its companion site I always say to myself “When will I finish? When will I have time to meet my friends in *LAME* clan? When will I have time to post something in “my” site.

    When I saw your proposal, I just felt sad. Nothing more. I thought “*LAME* clan was born for SG. It contributed, a little bit, to make the game well known and to explain its difficult parts”. I thought “Everyone is free to play what he wants. But why they haven’t published a private post? While I’m spitting blood (like Téquila, like Joe Kari, like TheDoctor, like torhu, like few others) to keep this game alive for the posterity, sacrificing my private life?” I thought “I always said that I’m here for 3 reasons, in this order of importance, SG, BallerBude, the clan”.

    I was just sad, reading the post. But your replies show a different, darker, landscape.

    I’m out of the clan. My interests are not the same of clan’s interests. It was fun, thank you, but now our paths are diverging. I will help you with updates and technical problems (if you want), but I don’t feel the clan any more.

  954. JesseJames says:

    It’s much faster than SG, more players. If you play in my ancient homeserver (something with angels) you play with 30 guys/girls,… That is 5 times more than in. It’s more than 3 years ago that i played it for the last time.
    But don’t let fall SG!! Keep playing and spread to the world what a nice game SG is. 🙂

  955. Wiskey says:

    I download maybe tonight urban terror and try it. It might be of interest to join the play urban terror in with other * LAME * with members, but to study it.

  956. JesseJames says:

    And when we play a bit in UT (again), we can ask people to play SG. And hopefully the new players find their way to BB and SG. Because like SAPE said when i join to BB I see only 1-2 well known players the rest are bots. So maybe to explore the world we can find new players for SG. Or am i naive?

  957. ZaPaTa says:

    That’s why I called it a proposal and why I said I was open for discussion.
    It’s NOT the point of leaving SG and not even plaing less SG.
    BTW I don’t have a clue if anyone is playing UT, it even might be the same situation.
    But it’s sad to find only bots in BB, and never meet new people.
    Also, *LAME* is something we got to keep alive too! if the interest globally (I’m not saying amongst players) is fading out for SG, this got an effect on ¨LAME* too, I’m sure of that. So we got to be active and involved, both clanwise and SG-wise.
    I’m very happy to see *LAME* players find their way to our weekly matches, this is an important clan-time. I know you’re not the type to jon us weekly then, but it’s our way to keep activily involved in SG and keep SG alive. The clan I try to keep ‘alive’ by proposing new and fun stuff. you see, there are different things that need our attention.

    I’m sure *LAME* will evolve and thus survive. So will (and has to) SG. It’s not because new players don’t find their way to SG WE got to stop evolving and have fun. If we deny good and new ideas, the clan will fall apart I guess.

  958. SAPE says:

    @Biondo: Do you know why I am active UT player? The reason is simple: I like to play FPS games against HUMANS.
    One year ago there were 200-250 registered player in BB. There are 85 nowadays. An average day I check in BB server 10-15 times randomly. There are 2-3 times I find human players.
    I think the LAMEs play for fun. I think the SG isn’t immortal, the LAME spirit is immortal.
    There was an old MOHAA clan, named Royal. It was Mercurius’s clan. He stopped the game, and gave up the clan, when the MOHAA died. But the Royal is still alive, it is one of the best COD clan with lots of veteran player…

  959. JesseJames says:

    @Biondo No it’s not our point to leave SG, but it’s something extra with the clan. Just to have fun, I learnd in that game where it’s necessary to be fast, it improve your skills.

    BTW thanks for yesterday. The first game was incredible fast, Sarah won 2 games. Yep she was the killerqueen of the Weekly deadmatch.

  960. Biondo says:

    It was really sad to have read such a proposal here in *LAME* site, while SG is dying and everybody is doing his best to revive it 🙁

  961. SAPE says:

    The interest isn’t too significant. 🙁

  962. SAPE says:

    Anyway, UT is Q3 game too, so easy to use for SG players. There are some differences, but if you will be in, I try to write a fast “UT instructions for SG palyers” 🙂

  963. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    I will be there today.

    About UT: Of course! I am active UT player too. 🙂

    *LAME*SAPE (aka Rattlesnake in UT 🙂 )

  964. Wiskey says:

    http://www.magnuslonden.net/fi/reportaasit/matkareportaasit/suursaari

    There is one page from Suursaari. If you want, you can use Google translate to translate text for english, but it is only short text.

  965. Wiskey says:

    Zapata, I live far from coast, in middle of Finland, so I can’t see that from my home town.

    Hmm, Mope you are still right from independence.

  966. JesseJames says:

    wow mope your grandfather was a lucky man.

    Btw zapa I read Robinson Crusoë many times also, great story the men VS the elements. A kind of primal instincts.

  967. ZaPaTa says:

    Hehe nice story Wiskey. Did i get it right, can you see the isle from where you live? So it used to be a place like Vegas or Venice, special place for tourists but now Russia ownes it and it’s hard for foreigners to travel there? Interesting. Reminds me of the falkland Isles…I like I stories about islands a lot, don’t know why. As a kid I like the Robinson Crusoe novel very much 🙂

    Strange I can’t find much pics of Gogland, only ones taken from the lighthouse in Kotka.

    Gogland

  968. Wiskey says:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gogland

    It’s Gogland for english, Google Translate translated it for High Island.

    It can see from Kotka in Finland’s coast.

    In second world war Finland lost many town for Russia, Viipuri, Karjala, Petsamo…

    Mope, That is odd song for me.

    Mope, did you know that Molotov is a Finnish invention, it got its name from Vyacheslav Molotov.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyacheslav_Molotov

    Molotov cocktail means fuel bottles. If you look at game molotov cocktail label, it says Whiskey’s, here I found a nickname.

    • Mope says:

      I look at this story in other way, Wiskey. Even if, sadly, Finland lost some of it’s territories and many brave men died, Finland has won it’s independence and wasn’t occupied by Soviet Union, like the Baltic countries, for 50 years.

      BTW, my grandfather has been sent to this Winter War, luckily, he’s been sent to deliver some documents to the HQ, so when he’s got to catch up with his battalion, it was all totally destroyed, so he had to return for redistribution. That’s how he stayed alive.

  969. Mope says:

    Wiksey, do you know this song? “Njet Molotoff “?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pWcVxl9v6Y
    It’s from the days of Soviet-Finnish war. I recall it because we were throwing molotovs today, and you’ve reminded the WW2 history.

  970. SAPE says:

    GG all. I wasn’t at home. Sorry cowboys. 🙁

  971. ZaPaTa says:

    I suppose High Island is a translation for a former Finish territory? I don’t know it, please tell more, maybe ad a wikipedia page to it? Cheers

  972. ZaPaTa says:

    GG all, really enjoyed it. (well, I enjoy it always…but it’s more fun when you’re a bit ‘competitive’.)
    BTW, JJY is not dancing on the vinyl. Look closer; he’s scratching with his foot!

  973. JesseJames says:

    Zapata you was incredible today, i’am happy that i’am proud to be your brother 🙂

    Jippi I tried to defend you but everyone was looking for you. 🙂

  974. JesseJames says:

    This was one of the best games ever with the clan! Thanks all, it was a pity that I was bad in the first game. 🙂

  975. Biondo says:

    @jippi, sometimes you have to explain to us how to produce those GIFs (so we don’t have to loose time searching for the technical details in Internet) 😉

  976. JippiJaYeah says:

    Funny game all.
    Congratulation to Zapata, good game.

    @Mope:
    Sorry, i delete the third picture, my mistake.
    Could you please insert it again.

  977. ZaPaTa says:

    Well, Jess knows Dutch, but if anyone wonders:
    “We are here, one for each other”
    “Wij zijn er voor elkaar.”

  978. Wiskey says:

    The Italians are working so hard to keep sea water out of Venice, as to threaten bury the whole town. Biondo, how Venetians live, Is the stores on the mainlandor is it there own shops?

    It would be nice sometimes to get High Island due to its history. Before the Second World War, it still belonged to Finland, but now it is a Russian-owned. It was before like in Las Vegas, hotels, casinos, etc

  979. Wiskey says:

    Yep Jesse, I have lot’s of learning, in BR. Now I am learned that try to shoot head, but it requires lot’s of practise.

  980. JesseJames says:

    That is one of the best films ever from Monty Python :). John Cleese is epic here.

  981. Biondo says:

    🙂 Fishes called Wanda.

  982. JesseJames says:

    @JippiJaYeah indeed I hope the same, i’am translate a bit with some dictionary’s. 🙂

  983. Mope says:

    Hebrew –
    “We are here, one for each other” אנחנו כאן אחד בשביל השני

  984. JippiJaYeah says:

    LOL

  985. JippiJaYeah says:

    In German: “Wir sind füreinander da.”
    But, i hope that nobody is writing “Jesse is nasty”!? 😉

  986. SAPE says:

    In Hungarian:

    “Mi itt vagyunk egymásnak.”

  987. JesseJames says:

    I heard that Venice will be flooding by the global warming, is that true? That will be a great disaster if that will happen.

    But it looks a beautiful city, a bit romantic but cool with the little streets, the gondolas…
    Also Tuscany will be great to visit, the hills and the great landscape in the fog when the sun is rising. All that little villages.

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, it’s possible that ice melting will flood Venice 🙁
      Tuscany is also a nice region.

  988. JesseJames says:

    Thanks Dansh, Barto.
    Damn everyone here is a polyglot 🙂

  989. Barto says:

    Oh damn, i typed too fast and forgot a “s” to “somme”, it’s “sommes”.

    (I hate to entirely retype my message because i just forgot to enter the captcha, and then I do it too quick… whatever…)

  990. Barto says:

    “We are here, one for each other” is in french, “Nous somme ici, l’un pour l’autre”.
    Just to let you know, here = “ici” and there = “là”. You used “there” in your first sentence. This is why I point it out.

  991. dansh says:

    In Ukrainian: “Ми тут один для одного”;
    In Belarusian:”Мы тут адзін для аднаго”.

    Not sure that each computer displays the Cyrillic alphabet )))

  992. dansh says:

    In Russian is correct: “Мы здесь друг для друга”.

  993. Biondo says:

    “We are here, one for each other” = “Siamo qui, l’uno per l’altro”.

  994. Biondo says:

    “We are here, one for each other” makes more sense, yes! Definitely 🙂

  995. JesseJames says:

    Haha JJY you taught just the same 😉

    But this problem is solved 🙂

  996. JesseJames says:

    @Wiskey yep that was for me also in the past, but they know me in Jeuxlinux now and they don’t do it anymore 🙂

    I play in my vacation a lot BR games in Jeuxlinux, and I learned a few tricks, (like don’t run like a chicken without a head, and wait,wait,wait 🙂 ). I robbed a few time the bank and it’s nice. But you have some experts in a game that kill you only with headshots 🙂

  997. Mope says:

    If you’re going to put that slogan in the place itself, maybe better to say “We are here, one for each other”… Sarah, your English is natural, maybe you’ll advise Jesse a better formulation?

  998. JesseJames says:

    Ok guys/girls thanks for everything!

    I will explain my ‘party’ a bit. In Belgium there lives 191 nationalities, but we don’t know each other very well and that is a pity. So we organise something in a little pub for all the nationalities, were people make all little dishes from their country, or play typical music.

    After that we will make a poster with the sentence :we are there for each other, but I think that the sentence from mope is better in English. And with that poster we will show that it is possible to live with each other on a good way. (so we will change a bit some me

    What is fantastic if you know people from other country’s because Googletranslate is very bad for translates! 🙂

    PS: I have always problems with their/there 🙂

    If you know other languages: just shoot 🙂

    Hebrew
    Russian
    Finnish
    English
    French
    Deutsh
    Nederlands (Dutch) 🙂
    Italian
    Thanks for quick response. I’am happy and my mates also. 🙂 (hope my teachers also,…)

  999. Mope says:

    Jesse, listen, you have to provide context of this sentece, or explain it better. I don’t know the context, so it’s a bit hard to understand the full meaning.

    “We are there for each other”

    in Russian it is Мы – там, один ради другого.

    in Hebrew (literally) אנחנו שם אחד בשביל השני

    But להיות שם אחד בשביל השני
    “To be there, one for another” – sounds probably better.

  1000. Biondo says:

    I understand what it means (literally), but I can’t think of a situation where its use would be appropriate … “We are there for each other” = “Siamo lì l’uno per l’altro”.
    ??

  1001. Wiskey says:

    For Finnish it is Me olemme olemassa toisillemme.

  1002. Wiskey says:

    Sometimes I play a bank robber games, I like it that I can protect the other, or rob a bank when teammate protects from enemies. But bank robbery is, unfortunately, is also normal that if you’re a bad player, or you fail at something, others probably kick you out, some players will not tolerate failure.

  1003. Wiskey says:

    I’d like to visit in Venice sometimes, it feels an interesting location. Not the streets, and cars, just canals and gondolas. It would be probably interesting to live in Venice.
    Biondo, have you ever been there?

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, of course I’ve been there many times 🙂 It’s a unique town in the world. Really crowded by tourists nowadays, but still something wonderful to visit.
      If you’ll come to Italy, tell me, maybe we can meet together in Venice 🙂
      It’s not far from here.

  1004. Barto says:

    I’ll do my best for that,. Sadly, I’m not so good in languages but I’ll try it anyway. In french, it would be: “Nous sommes là les uns pour les autres.” .

  1005. JippiJaYeah says:

    In german we will say: Wir sind füreinander da.

  1006. JippiJaYeah says:

    Well, “google translate” will translate 65 languages. 😉

  1007. Sarah says:

    I wish I could speak more than one language 🙁

    Its we are there for each other I think

  1008. JippiJaYeah says:

    “Invasion of someones private space” sounds like sex! 😉

  1009. Biondo says:

    “We are their for each other” ?? Or “We are there for each other”?
    🙂

  1010. Biondo says:

    A doctor told me that 14 is drowning, 18 is telefrag.
    telefrag is sometimes called “Invasion of someones private space”.
    bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=weapon&weaponid=18
    It has something to do with when you respawn “inside” another player, for what I understand.

  1011. JesseJames says:

    Oh it’s a 14 🙂

  1012. JesseJames says:

    But does anyone know what 18 is? 🙂

  1013. JesseJames says:

    Nice animation btw :).

    My worst enemies are=
    1)*LAME*JesseJames 861 (15.31%) 889 (13.82%) 1.03

    What the hell, how can i kill myself? 🙂

  1014. ricochet says:

    Terry Gilliam would be proud of you 🙂

  1015. Biondo says:

    Very interesting!

  1016. JippiJaYeah says:

    I think “Teamswitch Suicide Penalty” is in DM when you switch to the spectator.

    The static is sometimes very strange:

    Jippi: Sucicide by Sawed-Off Shotgun

    Frank: Sucicide by Remington 1858

  1017. JesseJames says:

    Hmm strange 🙂

  1018. JippiJaYeah says:

    @JJ:
    Yes, they can do – if they want. 😉

  1019. JesseJames says:

    But they can’t shoot, it’s a pity.

  1020. JippiJaYeah says:

    Ok, we (JJ & i) found that the bots only deploy the gatling gun.

  1021. JesseJames says:

    awesome sarah your skills grow every week, if I see that you win of Jippi. 🙂
    Also good to see that Xop and AK47 will play with us.
    It was a pity that I couldn’t play in our weekly game. 🙁

  1022. JippiJaYeah says:

    I thought the same JJ.
    On server side you can set the bots skill level.

  1023. JesseJames says:

    WTh indeed never see this before, but I have the feeling that the bots are stronger than a year before, is this true? Or I’am worse skills than one year ago 🙂

  1024. Biondo says:

    Hehe, nice GIF! It happened to me to see bots deploying Gatlings. It makes them seem more humans 🙂

  1025. Wiskey says:

    Really first time when bot use gatling.

  1026. Wiskey says:

    Second game started lag for me, it made impossible to play. But first game was fun.

  1027. JippiJaYeah says:

    Good game all, but we lost more and more players in second game.
    In the first game, sarah wins with here shadow.

  1028. Mope says:

    Here are the ClanDM screnshots. And Sarah leads again!


    shot0028


    shot0029

    • Biondo says:

      Hmm… In the first match Sarah is the winner and the looser at the same time. Sarah: a couple of brackets embracing the game.

    Hehe GL JJ at the party!
    Nice to see you all around, Mope, JJY, Biondo, even Dike…Nice pic as usual.
    I’m not sure if I’ll make it though 🙁
    Got a tight schedule this evening, I’m working on a silkscreen instalation in my ‘studio’, got to finish it this evening if I want to stay scheduled. We’ll see!

    Cheers & Have fun. Make sure you try the ‘new’ small map in the desert…dono the name 🙂

  1030. JesseJames says:

    Well you know the squares, it’s always very busy but now their is nobody on such a big square. 🙂 And then my fantasy takes over 🙂

    Yes it will be a dream that come true, walking in Paris, NY if their is nobody.

  1031. JesseJames says:

    Haha great great picture Biondo. I loved the new maps last week so probably we can practise again on the maps?

    But one thing I can’t be with you today, I have to play dj on a party. 😀
    But have fun, and I see who will win and if you have fun.

    @DIKE: monty python is very good. Especially the movies (knights of the holy grail,…) and fawlty towers. 🙂

    Good to see you here JIppy do you play with us today? It’s a long time ago that we met eachother

  1032. Mope says:

    Cool pic!
    I’ll be there today, but please let’s ensure we’re talking about the same timing?
    So when do we meet?

  1033. Biondo says:

    Dike, well, I had to make a little search around (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Foot_of_Cupid) because I have never seen Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Too bad! I’m a fan of them.

    Thanks 😀

    If only GIFs supported sound … 😉

    • hehe, yeah, would be neat. anyway, your creation already is great enough 🙂

      still admiring and watching her (wooh, really hard to tell man from woman apart in this androgynous composition :-p) stomping ;D

      out of curiosity – how many single images/layers does your GIF contain?

  1034. wait, … what’s the fun in only talking about MP (although it’s off-topic):

    (chosen a random sketch)

  1035. Biondo says:

    Why scary? It would be my dream 🙂

    Nice photos, Jesse. Thanks for sharing.

  1036. JesseJames says:

    http://www.lucieandsimon.com/works/silent_world#/4/

    I will share this site with you guys, who loves photos. It are pictures from famous squares all over the word (so it is normally very busy) but he filtered everything that moves. So it’s every photo an empty square with one person (who din’t moved on the moment he took the picture. Very nice, but a bit scary 🙂

  1037. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Sape!

  1038. SAPE says:

    The design is perfect, and it works correctly… WOW, nice work Biondo.
    I want to say thanxs. It is a hard and long work, a big sacrifice, a gift from you to every SG player.
    GG Biondo.

  1039. Biondo says:

    Yes, finally new style is up. I’m sorry I kept you waiting so long.

    There are still some minor works to be done, some elements to be styled … some optimizations … but I hope you like it.

    Should you notice anything broken, please tell me (with a screenshot of the problem).

    🙂

  1040. SAPE says:

    Sorry, I was too tired. GG all!

  1041. Bart says:

    Next week I try to be with you if you wish so 🙂

  1042. jesse james says:

    Very nice Sarah you was outstanding, much better than me and the other LAME’s and the strange Da Patey. WHo is he? Maybe El Barto, DIke?,…

    The new maps are very good, only a few details to make them more realistic. The little desert have a real cowboyfeeling, but is a bit for the campers.
    The great house in the wood have also a few faults in it. But it’s nice that their are new maps, it’s good because nobody knows the camping places,…
    Good work TN!!

  1043. Mope says:

    I’ve got the screen of the second game


    shot0025

  1044. Wiskey says:

    I can’t play today, when I start game and try connect to TN game crashes ”vm_create on UI failed” . I do tomorrow re-installation.

  1045. SAPE says:

    OK, done it.

  1046. ZaPaTa says:

    Done, thanks for reminding 🙂

  1047. Slowly John says:

    @JesseJames: thank you 🙂 … i hope, next week is better

  1048. JesseJames says:

    @slowly John no problem, healthy is much important than playing a game. 🙂 So rest a lot and everything comes all right. 🙂

  1049. Slowly John says:

    …here are a lot of birthdays, much work, some family-meetings and the last eleven days also a little bit sick (very much headache). i have testet for a short time sg (it is a while ago), at the day, but it is no good for headache. specifically at late evening is this not good for me… there i drink my warm milk and go early sleep. i am looking forward to the future, if i healty again, i will go be back to the team-evening. so long i will maybe short look at the game, only for a short possible while, to test the new version and the options…
    best greetings @all
    john

  1050. JesseJames says:

    @ZaPaTa Mope is playing normally every week, just like me.
    But Slowly and JJY is a long time ago. From the dyna game.

  1051. ZaPaTa says:

    Wiskey, Sarah, SAPE and me. We decided to play for fun, so we tested two new(er) maps. The small one I liked very much, will make a nice one for future clanwars (hope more folks will join in the future…what’s happening Clan. Were was JJY, slowly, mope…? 🙁 )
    the 1.5 did its job very good!

  1052. JesseJames says:

    Who played yesterday? And did it work?

  1053. Biondo says:

    As I told you I cannot play, sorry.
    Maybe next week.

  1054. Wiskey says:

    I did a complete reinstall, and now my graphics look good. Annoyance that it is not corrected the ping

  1055. TheDoctor says:

    @Jippy, @Whisky: JHoff10 posted some screenshots of missing textures in the SG forum and I was able to identify the problem: joekarimat1.pk3 wasn’t referenced and therefore downloaded, but many maps seem to depend on it. I always thought, joekarimat2.pk3 superceded joekarimat1.pk3, hence my mistake. Should be fixed now, but remember to \cl_allowdownload 1 and to \reconnect, if you miss something :-p

  1056. JesseJames says:

    @jippi indeed nice to see you again, hope we will see you this evening.

    It’s a pity but can’t play today, my friends were asking why i don’t go out on thursday. 🙂 So i do it once. Hope everything go al right with the 1.5, and the new maps. Make screens and have fun.

  1057. SAPE says:

    I am in. I test the beta5, it work correctly. Cu at night.

    @ Jippi: Nice to see you again.

  1058. JippiJaYeah says:

    @Sape:
    Have you ever been shoting the Winchester model in real life?

  1059. JippiJaYeah says:

    I install SG 1.1b5 on a clean system and there a missing textures, also after \cl_allowdownload 1 and \reconnect.

    referencedPakNames” is:”smokinguns/sg_textures1 smokinguns/sg_textures0
    smokinguns/sg_sounds1 smokinguns/sg_sounds smokinguns/sg_pak1
    smokinguns/sg_pak0 smokinguns/sanjuanicotextures1 smokinguns/mangascoloradas
    smokinguns/joekarimat2 smokinguns/civil_war_soldiers smokinguns/alamo2
    baseq3/pak0″

    console say also:
    Client: Loading tex-file… maps/dm_alamo_tiny.tex
    WARNING: R_FindImageFile could not find
    ‘textures/joekari_plant/plant_palm1.tga’ in shader
    ‘textures/joekari_plant/plant_palm1’
    Shader textures/joekari_plant/plant_palm1 has a stage with no image

    Update:
    After copying all *.pk3 from C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns to C:\Program Files (x86)\smokin guns\smokinguns find the missing textures.

    It seems that SG 1.1b5 need also some *.pk3 files in C:\Program Files (x86)\smokin guns\smokinguns.

  1060. JesseJames says:

    I like the winnie, he is beautiful made as weapon with the wood, etc. Much better than the schofield (for me 🙂 )

    Very good page again, a lot of information. It’s wonderful that the winchester 1894 is produced until 2006.

  1061. Slowly John says:

    nice page ZaPaTa!!!
    for a image-recherche can maybe help the follow service:
    http://www.tineye.com/ …firefox has also an add on
    best greetings

  1062. Slowly John says:

    great work and interesting information!! big thx to you!

  1063. Slowly John says:

    @TheDoctor & Biondo: aaah, ok, thanks. sorry for my late answear, i have bad headache, over a week.
    by install yesterday, i have mixed old and new files (and i had also on few maps the some grey screen like wiskey 🙂 …i will test it today with new separate folders… thx!!

  1064. Biondo says:

    As TheDoctor writes (http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&p=23547#p23547), use the following commands to solve particular problems connected to Beta 5 in BB/SB/TN:

    – If you don’t see the right textures, \cl_allowdownload 1 and \reconnect
    – If you don’t hear the right sounds, \cl_allowdownload 1 and \reconnect
    – If it claims “Invalid .PK3 referenced”, \cl_allowdownload 1 and \reconnect

  1065. Biondo says:

    Probably you made a mistake. Yes.

    I wrote it, but maybe I wasn’t clear enough: “it’s a full SG release, not only an update as it was for SG 1.1b4. Just download it, unzip it and run the right executable (in Windows it’s smokinguns.exe)”.
    Don’t mix old and new files. Unzip the Beta in your desktop and run it from there.

    No problem, Wiskey. You can reinstall the old SG 1.0, and SG 1.1b4 in usual place, and re-unzip SG 1.1b5 in your desktop.

  1066. Wiskey says:

    Biondo, I replaced the newer files with the same name, did I mistake it?

    \sv_referencedpaknames is smokinguns/sg_pak0 smokinguns sg_maps0 baseq 3 pak0.

    Fdir *. pk3 : 0 files listed

    condump no anything.

    I am tired, so say if this is wrong.

  1067. GREYMAN says:

    GG Sape!!! Thank you! 🙂

  1068. ZaPaTa says:

    Note* The photo you see here of John Escapule was often mistaken for Tombstone’s “Doc Holliday”.

    indeed! thanks for mentioning Joe!

  1069. ZaPaTa says:

    Awesome idea. Three new maps! Three!
    That’s so NOT lame! I’m in!
    (still, I have to try the 1.5, hope it runs stable, also on Linux (@Biondo: I’m able to run SG on Ubuntu, works good so far, just have to import my settings again and I’m online with the broken laptop again!).

    • Biondo says:

      Well, they are 3 new maps, but they are old maps… don’t expect too much from them 🙂

  1070. Joe Stewart says:

    I just wanted to let you know that the photo you have of Doc Holliday is truly that of John Escapule 1857-1926.

    See: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=17743165

  1071. Wiskey says:

    I can connect finely, but my screen is grey, and graphics are strange. Like picmic 9 but only grey. I can’t get screenshot, i don’t know why, but it seems that I have to play with 1.1b4. Can anyone help?

    • TheDoctor says:

      @Whisky: grey, strange graphics is an indicator for missing textures (the server misses some pk3 file). This was possible earlier, because the server didn’t tell the client all the necessary files to download. This behavior however should be corrected since monday.

      Just in case, it is still a problem for you, open console and type

      \sv_referencedPakNames
      \fdir *.pk3
      \condump

      and post the dump.

    • Biondo says:

      Wiskey, I don’t really understand the origin of your problem.
      Are you sure you haven’t mixed together you old installation with new files?

  1072. TheDoctor says:

    If your SG1.1b5 installation quits when you join a server, it can’t find all the necessary files to join the server.

    You need to connect to a server that provides downloads (BB, SB, TN) and you need to \cl_allowdownload 1 beforehand!

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, you can’t connect to all servers with Beta 5, but only to those that are compatible with it. It’s still a beta release and not all servers are ready for it. But you can keep 2 different versions of SG, one to play in SG 1.0 servers and one to play in SG 1.1b5 ready servers.

      You can allow downloading in console (as TheDoctor suggested) or in game settings, as I said in post.

      BTW, thank you Doc! (I’m sorry that your comment was marked as spam, I hadn’t time to check).

      The fact that BallerBude and SpecialBude are now SG 1.1b5 compatible is of the greatest importance. It probably means that an official SG 1.1 is coming. Also we all know that SG 1.1b4 had many crashes, maybe SG 1.1b5 solved the problem, so I invite you all to use it.

      [Updated http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/faq/my-server-list-is-empty-how-can-i-connect-to-a-server-now/%5D

  1073. Slowly John says:

    hm, on my system run the new version only offline. if i want, to go to a online-server (with monster-browser or direct with sg), i become an error and sg close… but, my old version run perfect…

  1074. Slowly John says:

    big thx!! today i will short test the update on my system, … and the new maps 🙂
    best greetings & nice wednesday @all

  1075. Biondo says:

    Yes, it works well. I hadn’t crashes, but I need to use it much more to say that it doesn’t crash.

    I can’t promise I will play, the time is too early for me.

  1076. JesseJames says:

    Ok I installed a few weeks ago, works perfect. But didn’t tried TN, will do that.
    Maybe we can play on the 3 new maps?

  1077. Wiskey says:

    Wow Biondo. Very nice image.

  1078. Slowly John says:

    great work, big thx Grey!!! i remember me to a nice song, in the near of this theme:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-1VtYVJULo

  1079. Biondo says:

    @Zapa: I thank you in place of my son, the banner is a creation by him. He will be very glad to know that you like it so much 🙂 . But the contest is still open (http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3064) and it will last some days more, until the 1st of April. There is also a nice submission by TheDoctor!

    But probably we’ll use banners rotating every week/month (after a ReD’s proposal), so the contest could possibly last forever. You’ll have time to submit your creation!

    About the style: I didn’t want to design something too grunge and Western, I wanted to put in it also some contemporary style. I didn’t want something like LAME’s site. A forum is already complex and crowded by it’s own, so I’d like to obtain a style as clean as possible.

    I have an headache to make it work in Internet Explorer. There are many pages still broken, but step after step I’m starting to see a light.

    Thanks!

  1080. ZaPaTa says:

    Thanks Grey, great to see you find the site again (even with hyphen now :D) I’ll read it this evening with more attention. I’m very interested in great persons of the Indian tribes; feel free to add more 😀
    Thank you so much!

  1081. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice Nice Nice! I Luvvvvve it…That’s one sweet banner!
    The light in is so damn hot. It almost gives me a sunburn. Great job on it, I love the saturation too, and the angle. It pulls you straight into the town, and so the action, the tension.
    The style is indeed a nice twist between real western and a revival. I believe the players will love that (I like traditional stuff too, but you knew that already). It’s up to date, yet it comes with nice touch, smaller details;
    amazing job and hard work indeed!

    I feel almost obliged to contribute in the banner contest but I’m afraid I have to say ‘no’ once again 🙁
    This will be a very busy week for me, I’m already attending another poster contest. But maybe the contest takes longer than one week?
    In that case I’m in next week!

    Cheers
    ZaPa

  1082. GREYMAN says:

    Thanks Guys!:)
    It was for you “Indianfuns” ! 😀

  1083. Biondo says:

    Thank, Slowly, your comments are really encouraging 😉

  1084. Mope says:

    Nice to see you’re connected with the clan, Greyman, and great to read your posts again.

    That’s interesting how the American mythology absorbs those, who once were enemies of the state, to become National heroes. And if the case of Geronimo is controversal, because he fought for the rights of his tribe, creating Heroes from bandits and gangsters amasingly surprises me again and again.

  1085. Slowly John says:

    this is a hard work, i can imagine. big thanks to you!! you write: “you’ll probably see some weird/ugly/strange things happening”. i ask, which artists are so free, to give a look at his unfinished work? i think only very few, this is very very brave 😉 ! i’m looking forward to the results, but I know, it will very please me, because you’re, with the soul at the matter.
    a clean design is for sg my favorite, because so can a lot of new visitors find her way in that beautiful game – …and because… the social life is complicated enough 🙂 . also therefore, very good!! best greetings & a nice and not so stressful! sunday

  1086. JesseJames says:

    Wow Greyman another nice page.

    BTW: Geronimo is also drawn in a comic of Geraud (Bluebery) he is a mythic figure in the history of the wild west. if you need 5000 man for 30 indians, then are you very smart. 🙂

  1087. Biondo says:

    ty

    Since I’m actively working on the style, trying to solve the buttons problem, you’ll probably see some weird/ugly/strange things happening 😀

  1088. JesseJames says:

    Very nice Biondo, the western feeling is back but it has something modern.

    I will look for a nice screenshot, but will ask ZaPa for details about saving and type,…
    Maybe will zapa make also a nice banner?

  1089. Biondo says:

    Damn, I shut down the PC. The address of my home server will be back in few minutes. Sorry. It’s online now.

  1090. Biondo says:

    Thank you Greyman! I want to read it with attention and time. I think Geronimo’s biography has to be very interesting. I’ll comment after.

  1091. Slowly John says:

    …what for a work, so nice, – the lights, the atmosphere, the style… i love it!!!

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you John!

      I want to share more with you: http://everything.no-ip.org/phpBB-forum/index.php

      This is my test server. When you connect to that URL you enter my home, it’s my home server.
      It’s very slow, so you’ll feel that page refresh takes a long time…
      The banner is just a temporary one, I expect to see who will win the contest (http://everything.no-ip.org/phpBB-forum/index.php).
      The server will not be online 24h/24h (and probably I’ll put it offline in next days). And the logo has still to be designed. I worked on icons, but haven’t finished them yet. And buttons are still missing. Internal pages have to be adjusted. It’s a huge work, be patient.

      At the moment I’m busy solving coding problems, not layout.

      And I’m waiting for contest submissions.

  1092. SAPE says:

    Nice work Biondo. Good, original Wild West feeling. Better, and clearer than the old site.

  1093. JesseJames says:

    No problem SAPE!
    Sarah, Mope, and I played only in Baller Bude,…

  1094. SAPE says:

    I had no time. Sorry cowboys, cowgirl.

  1095. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    Brother you know, you are NOT ALONE!

  1096. ZaPaTa says:

    seemed like a peaceful evening. Sorry I couldn’t make it!
    bad timing, to many things to do!
    Great to see you find your way to the DM’s Sarah! Cheers

  1097. Sarah says:

    I’ll be there and I would like to play lake and tijuana

  1098. Biondo says:

    Update: the contest changed URL 🙁

    Here it is the new link: http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3064

  1099. Biondo says:

    I opened a public contest for an image to use in new SG forum’s banner. Would you like to participate? Read the rules here:
    http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?p=23400#p23400

    😉

  1100. Biondo says:

    Tomorrow it will be Thursday. I can’t post a reminder, and I’ll probably will not play (also because I’m so lame that Zapata won against me tonight :D)

    Nice Zapa, keep on growing garlic!

  1101. Biondo says:

    Thanks all … it’s a work in progress … Icons had already change …
    and the wood, yes there’ll be some wood somewhere, but possibly not in the banner. I’ll keep you updated. Thanks for patience.

  1102. Wiskey says:

    It is clearer than older layout. Hope you can keep that layout.

  1103. JesseJames says:

    Nice preview Biondo, it’s more serene than before. I would like more the wood than a picture I think.
    But it looks solid.
    Good work!

  1104. Mope says:

    Wow, Biondo, great work, that’s especially interesting to see the transformation, after you’ve showed us the screens of how it has looked before.

  1105. Biondo says:

    Thank you very much for your support! I need it.

    @Slowly: yes it’s hard. I’m glad you like the “modern” style.

    @Zapa: I don’t remember of a similar logo, but in any case it’s not definitive. And yes I know losttype and I love their fonts, but I haven’t found a there a free webfont with good legibility on screen, so for title I used BebasNeue (condensed, as you said, free, with a licence that allows the use as webfont, with good legibilty).

    Have fun with garlic, Zapa! 😉

  1106. ZaPaTa says:

    Solid. The soft noise as a texture in the background, the condensed type.
    Very ‘Hot’ for the moment, I like it.
    Logo reminds me of a logo for SG you made on one of your designs…Was it the calendar? You made a similar series for the SG logo, the BallerBude logo and the LAME-logo.

    btw, you know this site, some nice free retro fonts there:
    http://www.losttype.com

    Have fun!

  1107. Slowly John says:

    thx for your nice preview. i can imagine, that is a lot of hard work, but… it looks good 🙂 !! i like the modern flat-style.

  1108. ZaPaTa says:

    Seems like we’re all busy then, good to hear there comes a theme made by Biondo! Have fun in designing it, we’re a patient clan 🙂
    Cheers

  1109. JesseJames says:

    No Problem Biondo, it’s good that you will make the new site for SG. Great, I am a bit curious for it!

  1110. Biondo says:

    Oops! Thank you, Tequila … corrected now.

  1111. Tequila says:

    Hey, it seems you have a link to update there 😉

  1112. ZaPaTa says:

    A Ping of only 12 is indeed problematic. Almost a bot, Sarah! 😀
    Ghosttown, niiiiice!
    Don’t get me wrong about the quiz, I’m not on tele so far. It was just a general test to see if you’re fitted to participate. A first selection, so not sure if i’ll actualy make the screen.
    (The test had some stuff I’m not good at, like sports, Belgian politicians, anagrams 🙂

  1113. Biondo says:

    Thank you dansh.

  1114. dansh says:

    The new address a web browser: webfront for master.q3alive.net: http://master.q3alive.net

  1115. Sarah says:

    I’m sad to hear that Sape, I hope things start to look up for you quickly x

  1116. Sarah says:

    Ha ha don’t you believe me! I spoke to her about it but it wouldn’t surprise me if it continued.

    Good game all

  1117. JesseJames says:

    No problem Slowly. 🙂

    @sarah didn’t see anything of a ping of 600 :p
    Good game all. Also thanks to AK 47

  1119. Slowly John says:

    good evening friends, … i am to tired now 🙁 , because much hard work today… headache and so on… see you soon

  1120. Sarah says:

    I will try and join. I am having a problem with one of the girls I live with using all the bandwidth, which makes me have a ping of like 600 🙁 so sg is unplayable.

    I would like Tijuana and Lake too 🙂

  1121. SAPE says:

    OK.
    1. Tijuana
    2. Just you and your lolchester. LAKE 🙂

  1122. Biondo says:

    A TV quiz? LOL 😀 Too bad I don’t receive Belgian TVs.

  1123. JesseJames says:

    @ZaPaTa wish you good luck for tonight, I will see you on television 🙂
    But the program is now on the commercial television 😉

  1124. ZaPaTa says:

    I hope a lot of you will join. I’ll won’t make it, have to fill in a test to participate in a quiz on national TV :p
    verrrrry important 😀

    Have fun! Put on your dancing shoes and forget your troubles for a while!

  1125. ZaPaTa says:

    Hi *LAME*Brother. Again bad news strikes us, but this doesn’t matter.
    Private live is more important of course. I’m thankful you shared your news with us. This isn’t the best time to lose a job, we all feel I believe over whole europe. I’ll hope it’s of any support that no matter where you live, other people are going trough the same. I hope you find some faith in your nature-walks and lovely countryside. I’m sure that didn’t changed! I also hope Grey is with you now. Better will come!
    (And silent I also hope the *LAME*brotherhood is of any support!)
    Wishing you all the best in your new life, but I hope it’s another life as a cowboy too.

  1126. JesseJames says:

    Tnx AK47 for playing with us. 🙂

  1127. JesseJames says:

    Oh yeah Lago and Alamo. Maybe after that we can play the dynagame? 😀

  1128. Wiskey says:

    Lago and Ghost Town. I try to play if my ping is enough small

  1129. Biondo says:

    You are well welcomed!
    No strange rule, until now 🙂

  1130. a.k47 says:

    Hey guys over there. I hope, that i’m allowed to play todays deathmatch again:) It’s always funny with you.

    So see you in game todays evening.

    best regards
    a.k47

    P.S. Any rules that i have to know before playing? 😛

  1131. Mope says:

    Sape, man, I’m full of appreciation of your brave overcome of the life difficulties. I’m confident you’ll get over those troubles soon, and this will make you only stronger.

  1132. JesseJames says:

    OK, not nice news that the financial crisis isn’t over. Hopefully you find a job that you like. Follow your heart, and your dreams.
    their will be always a day that everything comes all right. Have some confidence in the future.
    I’am with you.

  1133. Biondo says:

    There is no justice in the world, but we have to behave like the world had some justice.

  1134. Biondo says:

    You are still unbroken, Sape. We are witnessing that bad times had already come, before we could even say something.
    Follow a path that has a heart, bad times will not last forever.

    If I could be with you…

  1135. Slowly John says:

    i’m sorry my friend, but i hope you feel better again soon!!!

  1136. Wiskey says:

    I’m sorry that you lost your job, hopefully you get a new job soon.

  1137. ZaPaTa says:

    The Incal, yeah…must read indeed!

  1138. Slowly John says:

    @Wiskey: i know not your system, but maybe can the follow link a little bit help:
    http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

    “SG TCP Optimizer” have an export-function to backup/restore (export/import) from your current config.

  1139. @spi says:

    hmmm .. a real great man is gone !

    i remember reading Schwermetall and U-Comix,
    published by volksverlag in germany, realy underground, for adults only, non commercial ….
    the publisher died, but brained in me were artist like
    corben, moebius, shelton and bilal !

    some works lile arzach are scurrile, out of space, somewhere in the universe … but the incal is a space cowboy story, never reached …. must read !

  1140. ZaPaTa says:

    I got a copy of the article in today’s newspaper next to me on the desk, i picked it up this morning. Only half a page article!

    Very very sad loss, you know Jesse and I are very big fans.
    Also, Giraud is known as Moebius, make sure to check out the great works there. (in the article it is said he uses a different part if his ‘being’ to make Moebius or Giraud work. So for a more mystic Sci-Fi in which he explored his more ‘strange’ self, he became Moebius. For a more realistic, personal introspection – it is said Blueberry speaks a lot about Giraud himself – he became Giraud.

    Thx Tequila for the respect, much apreciated! Indeed he made us dreaming, and how! Great storys, great images. I started two hobbys by him, drawing and comics 🙂 And a love for western of course!
    Tnx Biondo for your fast post.

    RIP mate, you gave us so much and more.

  1141. Wiskey says:

    I am partly fixed that, my ping dropped now to 200, but i watch what i can do more.

  1142. SAPE says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2XaHgvwSTE

    For every poker player, whom love and hate poker the same time. 😉

  1143. SAPE says:

    R.I.P. 🙁

  1144. JesseJames says:

    Damn, Giraud I will miss you! Fantastic comics did you made, and indeed dreaming to be a cowboy in the Far West. This is one of the reasons why we play SG.

  1145. Tequila says:

    Ho yes, have a nice time. You made dreaming so many guys, you deserve your rest.
    I wish some artist in our loved game will pay homage to you in a near future.
    8)

  1146. Biondo says:

    Hehe, fun!

  1147. JesseJames says:

    Hehe tnx.
    It was a cool text. Put your hands in the air and give me all your money. 🙂 You know the song?

  1148. Biondo says:

    LOL 😀
    bind r “+button5”

    In this case you could also have reconfigured “R” key via SG graphical interface: Settings –> Controls… Reload.

  1149. JesseJames says:

    I have a problim with my q3config, I would introduce a new bind with a text, but put him in my folder on the button that I used for reloading. So can’t reload my colts. 🙁
    What is the text for reloading in q3config?

  1150. JesseJames says:

    So I did it Biondo 🙂

  1151. dansh says:

    Due to the fact that written a complaint, my server was doing DDOS-attack program qstat, SGMONITOR:http://q3alive.net/sgmonitor temporarily unavailable. 🙁

  1152. Biondo says:

    Thank you, dansh!

  1153. Biondo says:

    Please, Lames, update your signature in SG forum to make it point to lame-clan.tk.

  1154. dansh says:

    To compile is better to use the stable distribution debian (ubuntu 10.04, debian squeeze). I would recommend Ubuntu 10.04.
    Open a terminal and type the following commands(for Ubuntu):

    cd /tmp

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install subversion build-essential bison byacc libsdl1.2-dev libopenal-dev

    svn co https://smokinguns.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/smokinguns/branches/1.1-release/ smokinguns

    cd smokinguns

    make

    This will create a folder “build”, which will be your compiled files.

  1155. Biondo says:

    Zapata, another thing: Are you able to launch smokinguns.i386 from a terminal? When you open a program via a terminal, you get a feedback about what’s not working.

    1– Open a terminal
    2– Go to the directory where smokinguns.i386 is (using the command cd)
    3– Type “./smokinguns.i386”

    But if you’ve never used the terminal, probably better if you forget what I said 😉

  1156. JippiJaYeah says:

    Maybe there is in the background antivirus files checking or windows is making a update download.

  1157. Wiskey says:

    Pingtest.net told that I have only 62 ping, so problem is in my computer. I try Zapata’s tip.

  1158. ZaPaTa says:

    I’ll try it and come back to you. Tnx dansh, but so far I have no clue what you talk about 🙂

  1159. Biondo says:

    @Zapata: you asked “I think I have to open the .x86[or .i386] file, but with what?”.

    Answer: as long as the file is executable (= has execute permissions), just double click on it and this will open SG.

  1160. Biondo says:

    dansh, Zapata, I have to say that compiling SG is not so easy (I wasn’t able to do it).

  1161. dansh says:

    I noticed that at different dist. Linux game runs differently. Try to compile the files you in his system.

  1162. Biondo says:

    1000?? So high!

    In this case or “Make sure you’re not performing a download or upload by other software” as Zapata says (if you weren’t downloading, check your PC for viruses), or it was a problem of your Internet provider.

  1163. Wiskey says:

    Biondo, Yesterday, my ping ranged from 60 of about 1000, it was much larger than normal. While the ping temporarily fell out of 60 were still playing a very jerky way.

    Zapata, I no longer work for the next week, then a 2 week holiday. End of March, probably my contract runs out.

    I try Biondo’s help later.

  1164. Biondo says:

    You should have another file called smokinguns.i386 (“i” not “x”). This is the file that works for me (in Linux). Be sure that whichever file you open (.x86 or .i386) it has execution permission
    Don’t know which desktop environment you are using, but probably you have to right click on it and adjust its “properties”. Alternatively change file permissions typing in terminal: “chmod 755 smokinguns.i386” [without quotes].

  1165. Biondo says:

    To download all new maps at a time follow the link “Upgrade to SG 1.1b4.” (right column, here).

    It will open BallerBude page “Upgrade to Smokin’Guns version 1.1b4”, scroll down and click “each .pk3” (ftp://ftp.loop8.net/smokinguns/smokinguns/).

    Put downloaded maps in the folder where your q3config.cfg is (see: “Where can I find my configuration file?” http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/faq/configuration-file/).

  1166. ZaPaTa says:

    Oh! I’m too late, I was still working on it, but i didn’t want to fill in stuff I had to do research for (so just answering stuff I really know! great fun to realise what you know and what you don’t know, like “Condump’)
    Fun fact; ‘BB stats are based on them. I had the ‘K’, ‘L’ and ‘S’…So I was thinking ‘Kills’, but I had one blank space…could imagine ‘Skills’ . LOL. Must have been a heavy day yesterday 🙂

  1167. ZaPaTa says:

    Make sure you’re not performing a download or upload by other software; that was of a great help for me.
    Biondo, isn’t there a place to download all maps in once, and then copy them to a mapfolder? Could save Wiskey some time. Too bad you didn’t make it Wiskey! How’s the job going?

  1168. Biondo says:

    And the winner is … JippiJaYeah! Congrats, Jippi! 🙂
    There’s a minor mistake at position 20 Across (clearly it’s not “SMOKEN” but “SMOKIN”), but it’s clear that it has been an unwanted typo, so I’m happy to declare the winner.

    Thanks to all who have accepted the challenge.

    I attach Jippi’s solution here:

  1169. Wiskey says:

    As Jesse knows, i have very high ping that made impossible to play SG. Also i have to download every map that I can play on TN. Anyone know, what help me? Should i remove all internet applications expect antivirus and browser? Do i complete re-installation for SG?

    • Biondo says:

      It’s impossible to know why you are having high ping, but I would not recommend to uninstall all Internet applications.
      BTW, yesterday I had high ping too (in BalleBude), around 170.

  1170. SCeese says:

    lol a not *LAME* ghost… she shot me, here I am BOO! 😀

  1171. SCeese says:

    lol, I was wondering why my post didn’t show up 😀

    • Biondo says:

      This post is non existent 😀
      Your previous comment was copied to an existing post.
      Go away ghost !!

      🙂

  1172. Biondo says:

    You created a Media, not a post. I can’t imagine how SCeese managed to comment it 🙂

    Mysteries of WordPress.

    The comment has been migrated to its right place.

  1173. Sceese says:

    It was great fun playing with you *LAME* people. There was a storm nearby, and I think it made my lag go up really bad… I really couldn’t use the pistols this time, as Sarah knows, it took me all 12 shots from both pistols to kill her at point blank range.. lol Great fun playing, see you soon!

  1174. Sarah says:

    Thanks :), good game all.

  1175. Mope says:

    oh…. what have I done???? I’ve created a post (2 posts!) that
    even don’t exist! How do you move the comments from the posts that don’t exist?

    • Biondo says:

      I don’t remember … “I can’t remember” 😉
      I’ll try to do it, Mope. You haven’t made anything wrong, BTW.
      🙂

  1176. Biondo says:

    WTF, how did you manage to comment a post that doesn’t actually exists, SCeese?? 😀

    BTW, sorry I couldn’t play with you tonight 🙁

  1177. JesseJames says:

    Indeed great game from you Sarah, I was not in a good mood.
    ALso you mope played a few great matches, a lot of headshots 🙂 and that with a higher ping than we.

    Thanks all, but we missed Biondo, Jippi, Grey, Wiskey, John.

  1178. SCeese says:

    It was great fun playing with you *LAME* people. There was a storm nearby, and I think it made my lag go up really bad… I really couldn’t use the pistols this time, as Sarah knows, it took me all 12 shots from both pistols to kill her at point blank range.. lol Great fun playing, see you soon!

  1179. Mope says:

    Congratulations, Sarah, this week Champion!

  1180. JesseJames says:

    Yeah great map, we played it once, it was terrible chaos. 🙂

  1181. @spi says:

    good news mate !

    i am not interested in the style, important is functionality, performance and access to the informations !

    …. and BB (not BallerBude i mean bulletin board) on this host seems to be faster 🙂

    well done

    regards @spi

  1182. SCeese says:

    There is a map called “knive fun” that I am dying to play with somebody… maybe when you guys warm up?

  1183. Mope says:

    Whatever maps you decide to play is fine with me. Biondo, you’re the Ideas Generator!

  1184. JesseJames says:

    Haha great Biondo, I have now 25 solutions 🙂

    sure not a pro, zapa maybe this is one for you 😀

    Yes Alamo is good for me, and Lago

  1185. SAPE says:

    Clan match: Tijuana and Alamo.

  1186. JippiJaYeah says:

    …but where is Mope?

  1187. ZaPaTa says:

    Depressed and LAME…Hmm…could be Zapa.
    Slowest LAME’er…Hmm…could be Zapa too!

  1188. Slowly John says:

    nice idea & great work Biondo!!! …but to heavy for my english… i am looking forward to the solution from the team 😉

  1189. Biondo says:

    Thanks Sape!

    First little help (of course not addressed to *LAME*s): start inserting the names of *LAME* clan members (see here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/members/). Be advised that one name has been shortened.

  1190. SAPE says:

    Hm… It is difficult, but sooooooooooo fun!
    Thanx Biondo! 🙂

  1191. Biondo says:

    After another test with another player, I have to say that it’s really difficult 🙂
    Stay tuned, in next days some clues will follow. But don’t wait too much if you want to be the winner.

  1192. Biondo says:

    Well, I have tested the crossword with a real player, and I have to say that it’s not so easy. *LAME*rs have an advantage, because they know this blog, for others some hints are in the 2 links I have put as a help.

  1193. SAPE says:

    Great! 😀

  1194. Biondo says:

    I had a second look at the new forum. Actually it runs inside a frame.

    It’s address is not http://www.smokin-guns.net/ but http://forum.smokin-guns.org
    Of course internal links don’t work because they always point to the old address. I hope this is just a temporary solution, to be corrected soon.
    If you have bookmarks pointing to http://www.smokin-guns.net/ just make them point to http://forum.smokin-guns.org and they should work.

    Before correcting all links pointing to http://www.smokin-guns.net that are present in our blog, I’ll wait some days to be sure the situation is steady.

  1195. JesseJames says:

    Ribaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Great great!

  1196. Slowly John says:

    thx, nice news!! my old login is successfully 🙂

  1197. ZaPaTa says:

    OMG! look at that beauty 🙂
    Great news!

  1198. Wiskey says:

    So much bad is happened in short time

  1199. @spi says:

    lol, the pic looks like pokemon fight, my kids love this on their nintendo ds 😉

    next horror message could be :
    doc and @spi have a dispute, and split BB Team.
    @spi quit his job an shutdown the gameserver …

    no … just a joke 😉

    lg

  1200. JesseJames says:

    Thanks Sceese 🙂

  1201. SCeese says:

    It stinks that I start playing in November and now everything has pretty much failed into crap… I love to play though when I can. You *LAME* people are pretty fun to shoot…lol; see you in the game sometime

  1202. ;03 says:

    No problem, I understood that the end of your article was plain lulz ^^

  1203. ZaPaTa says:

    Ah OK, well…It did look a bit apocalyptic by putting all those events in a big list. Seeing them all combined is a bit much…

  1204. Biondo says:

    BTW, maybe some you have misinterpreted my post … my fault, I have to explain. The first part of the post was meant as a summary of what happened lately, just to give some directions to confused players until SG site will be back. Secondarily it’s a memorandum of a chain of facts so peculiar that they are able to capture the attention of any observer.

    The second part of the post was only meant to be fun, evocative, nonsensical. No drama.

  1205. ZaPaTa says:

    YES!
    (but wait and see. And Biondo, did you know of a small club of players who have some nice traditions and inspire new and old players to keep the love and interest for SG in the game too? They might be more influential then you see.)
    Tnx for your update btw ;03

    • Biondo says:

      Good traditions, indeed. Hehe.
      But ;03 and his courageous friends don’t necessary need us. Who need us are new players, ATM… at least while SG site is offline.

  1206. ;03 says:

    Hi Lamers 😉

    The website template is lost (the copyright owner doesn’t want to give it to us), but the phpBB database is ok.
    Tequila should provide a new forum soon (I hope tonight, but “wait & see”).

    For the name of the game, we will be able to use “Smokin’ Guns”. But we don’t own the trademark. Actually, I don’t know if there is really a trademark, or if this is just a bluff. I can’t find a proof on the internet that the name is REALLY trademarked, so I tend to think that we can use it.

    The rumor of SG maps dropped due to licence issue is totally false. In fact I said on IRC that I will ask to mapper to re-licence their work into Creative Common. The licence in this game is a mess, while the engine is under GPL, there is no explicit licence for the content. I want to simplify things.

    Someone may have misunderstood what I said : I NEVER said that everything else will be dropped! lol

    Some map could be dropped IF the copyright owner demand us to remove it. (that’s why I want that futur map should be at least licenced as CC – or a more open licence – before going into mainline).

    That’s all folks 😉

    • Biondo says:

      Hi “mysterious” ;03 😉

      You are optimistic as always, and this is good news by its own.

      If the website template is lost, no problem at all. We can live without it, it was so dated that we’ll never miss it.

      Good news also that it’s totally false that some SG maps will be dropped (I correctly reported the fact as rumors. You know I have to do my job, that sometimes means provoking some feedback 😉 We are all hungry of verified news).

      No, you “NEVER said that everything else will be dropped”, but you talked only about a database, nice to know that we’ll have back also multimedia files.

      Total mess about licenses: yes, I know. And I think it’s too late to get some certainty. But go on trying to make some order, it will be useful.

      Thank you very much!

  1207. Mope says:

    Let’s stay optimistic, friends. Once the SG did survive, when it was abandoned by the developers of the Iron Claw Interactive. It has survived once, it can do it now. Please, stop panic, and come to play ;).

  1208. SAPE says:

    Hm… I feel that you fell Biondo. Perspectives are tragic…
    What can we do?
    i have a feeling somebody or somebodies want to kill our game.
    Too much bad incident. Would it be randomly events?
    Whose interesting in it?

    • Biondo says:

      No Sape, not all facts are connected together, and they couldn’t be in any way. What’s true is that at least one persons, that had the responsibility of SG site, has shown his limits and we all are paying the consequences.

  1209. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: thx for the great text and the so very funny and creative grafics, i love it!! back to the roots, 8bit is coming 😀 . good and funny writing, but about sad news. i hope the future comes better again for SG 😉

  1210. Slowly John says:

    ooooh, sorry Biondo, yesterday was a long party for my and i recive again my lame-info-mail`s with the header from Jippi. i was to quick with my entry, to quick for a slowly 🙂

    yes, i hate chat too, but i must use a irc-chanel for the fli4l-project and i do this with the nettalk freeware. it is an comfortable programm: http://portableapps.com/node/29054

  1211. JesseJames says:

    Ok tnx

  1212. JesseJames says:

    pff looks very difficult :), is trillian a chat client?

    I taugh already something like that, a protest picture. 🙂

  1213. JesseJames says:

    HMm the link of the IRC does not work for me, am I the only one with the problem?

    BTW nice picture for the Ballerbude stats 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      It doesn’t work for me too… you have to open your chat client and connect to channel #smokinguns in irc.freenode.net net.
      Don’t ask me more, it’s difficult for me too 😉 I hate chat.

      About the picture in BB: it’s a Doc’s creation. It represents a Non-Smokinguns 🙂

  1214. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys I will ask it on Facebook ;). I heard about the IRC but didn’t know what the meaning was of the IRC.
    edit: oh you found it. 🙂

    It’s very handy to have all the links on one tablelist.

  1215. Slowly John says:

    good morning Jippi,
    thank you for the Survival Kit!!! it would be a pleasure for me to help, if i can, with my “strong” english 🙂
    what do you mean with SG-chat? is that a special-chat? or so like this:
    http://www.afterworkchat.de/index.php?id=2
    do you want the chat build, include in a website, private or public, or is maybe an irc-chat the right thing?

    • Biondo says:

      Hi Slowly, I’m not Jippi, in fact I’m Biondo 😉
      It’s the IRC chat where players, administrators and developers usually meet. To connect you need an IRC client.

      It would be useful if any clan members are willing to monitor IRC and forward any new information here in blog. We all are really hungry to know how the things will evolve.

  1216. Slowly John says:

    @JesseJames:
    ok, facebook is not bad for some things, maybe family, school, old study friends and so on… i use also facebook with my real name, but today pure, only as “email-relay-station” without private things like fotos, “like it`s”, videos and without a open friend-list.
    on my fb-info side is only an link to my real googlePlus private profile and to my email-adress.
    on g+ are my fotos (with picasa) and other unimportant things. sometimes i do a easy “video-hangout” on g+ …
    i do not use Facebook deeper because, there are give so many options, to many software from foreign-programmer, dangerous invisible stuff, and so on… it is a bog data-jungle with to many visitors, and i mean nothing for “anonym” actions…
    look on my “anonym” google+ profil, you can it not find without the link. security and disable from all options on g+ is total easy… i need 3 minutes there to make me total invisible on g+ (only the “google team” can see some of my “anonym” data like ip and so on)
    … is this so easy on fb? fb must make money with all compromises… and google have the money about all the other business services.
    i think (i am here a little bit naive 🙂 ) only the data-security is a big thing for google, because
    if the user lose the trust in google, then is end for google. it is her heart. i know nothing (to date) about a data-hole on google. …but i am very carefully with fb and g+ and so on… 🙂

  1217. JesseJames says:

    @biondo i’am not the only one on facebook ;). also Sarah is in the group ;).

  1218. JesseJames says:

    SO i said it on Facebook, where all the clans can read it. Hopefully they do it. 🙂

  1219. JesseJames says:

    OK guys as you know i’am on facebook, and there are a few groups of SG players, all the good players are in the groups. SO it’s easy to give a link to them with our new site.

  1220. Biondo says:

    Ok, I see. The little dash is called Hyphen, I think.

    I found 3 sites in Google referencing to our old URL:

    http://sg-wars.forumotion.net/t3-sg-clan-list (SG-wars’ clan list)
    http://sg-bb.jimdo.com/other-clans/ (BB clan)
    http://ninja-clan.jimdo.com/clans/ (Ninja clan)

    Who wants to contact their webmasters in order to correct the link?

  1221. Slowly John says:

    😀

  1222. ZaPaTa says:

    lameclan has a greater value. LOL.
    anyway, lame-clan.tk works as well, Biondo (without the www).
    I just added the little dash inbetween (whats the word for it in English?) that’s all that changed.
    But we lose the people anyway who type in their browser lameclan.tk. They get this type of scam-sites, without a reference to our new adress. I’m very unhappy about it.

  1223. Slowly John says:

    the dyna-trick was very funny! i fight for a short while together with Gunny from a roof. it was unplanned and it was so when i saw his cigarette next to me… 🙂 teams to build are very easy here because “close combats” are almost impossible. the quick “take of” from dynamite before you can shot on, it is so funny. about a short while receive sahra a lot of dynamite from me, she caught this like a professional football player 😀
    and somebody, i know not who, ignite my thrown dynamite in the air… FUN FUN FUN

  1224. Slowly John says:

    ok, i know, use google carefully, but here is a my test-profil:
    https://plus.google.com/111998285801962540210/posts
    (you find me only with the link, not about google search)
    i not trust facebook & googleplus, but googleplus allowed very easy (at this time) an “anonym” identity. maybe can it help, for a while to organized the user to exchanged informations and relieve some the lame-side … i know not… maybe is google to dangerous and maybe are other variations better…

    but, i not like facebook, she doing to much and quick changing the options, without inquiry, behint the back of the user, – and her options are very difficult and mostly first invisible… and then the full advertisement…

    • Biondo says:

      JesseJames is the only one among us that trusts Facebook 😛
      This is the reason why Zapata sends him scouting those territories 😀

  1225. Slowly John says:

    first: i am very glad to see that so many good people here are engaged, BIG BIG THX!!!
    *****
    …perhaps would not be bad a voting, but after a short (but important) pre-selection from the administrators, – and after the criteria such as search-engines-usability, brand recognition, recollection and so on….

    …as a funny bird i find now “Smoking Fun” very nice 🙂
    …but it can come to misinterpretations, because concerned,
    not smoking parents… …maybe adjust to: “Deadly Smoking Fun” 😀

    @Jippi: so funny Picture, i love it 🙂

  1226. Biondo says:

    So in which of 2 cases are we?

    – The word “lameclan” “falls into a range of words or terms that have been identified as having greater value” LOL

    – Or, the word “www” is “a small number of characters”?

    http://www.lame-clan.tk is OK, but I’d liked more lameclan.tk (without the www. prefix), and maybe without “www” we aren’t in the condition for a “Special domain”. np

    “… Anyone who has the time and the english to help me writing an e-mail to change their mind …” I have time, but Sarah has English 😉 What do you think Sarah? Anyway i don’t think we’ll make them change their mind, honestly.

  1227. ZaPaTa says:

    Pure darkness ahead of us 🙁
    Lameblog has to be the new place to be, just for a while.
    JJ, can you connect and spread out the lameblog as much as possible on the Facebook groups, tnx!

  1228. JippiJaYeah says:

    Two more: Smokin’ Gunz and Smoky Guns.

  1229. ZaPaTa says:

    So, yeah you get me, it’s not about being creative. This is old skool pure marketing & branding strategy.

  1230. ZaPaTa says:

    Holy Smoke! So much ideas!
    Just for a joke: LAME guns 😀

    Just a piece of boring advice here.
    2 things to keep in mind:
    – Stay as close to the original name as you can (exception: if you have a new game coming out, like a new version, and your willing to promote it on the WWW. Takes a lot of time, a lot of energy and is almost not rewarding since SG is infact a game with a small public, especialy new public. My opinion: don’t do it; so no ‘ PengPeng, Yankee Bayonet, LethalLethal, HighNoon, just to name a few)

    -second: make that the name reflects where it’s all about: guns, western, maybe! some history. So the name could be (keeping the first rule in mind): Western Guns, Western Shooter, Wild West Guns, Cowboy Guns, Smoking Colts, Saloon Guns and so on. Why?
    Any kid looking for a new game will google it with some word to describe it, like “Free game shooter western”. That’s the crucial point where this game has to be the number one in the list of google results. So the game has to be something like ‘Free Western Shooter”…And more sexy ofcourse. Drop the Free. Find a way around the ‘Shooter…’

    I like Gunsmoke too. Cheers

    • Biondo says:

      @zapa: I’m not sure you are right when you say “Stay as close to the original name as you can”, there’s the risk that searching Google with a misspelled name, you get a lot of pages-not-found linked to old site. But I have to trust your experience, talking about games, and games’ promotion 😉

      BTW: Lethal Lethal, was not a proposal, but just a joke (not intended to be published here) about the owner of the now defunct site.

      Another thought: to get a good position in Google searches like “Free game Western shooter” , is not necessary to name the game like that. Also when the game were named “Spaketti”, it’s enough if the phrase “Free game Western shooter” is made explicit in the site, so that everyone that publishes a review/post/screenshot/video about the game cites it as “Spaketti, the free game Western shooter”.

      A last thing: introducing an intentional typo in the name could easier a Google search. If I have to search “Spaghetti” (121.000.000 findings) it’s unlikely I get to the game site at the first try, but if I have to search “Spaketti” (22.200 findings) I’ll probably get it.

  1231. JesseJames says:

    Haha Jippi nice picture. :p

    Also thanks Sceese and ;03 to think about the “new” name and visiting our site.

    Indeed I also like gunsmoke, but it will never be the same like smoking guns,…

  1232. JippiJaYeah says:

    Bad days for smoking guns, but good days for our site.
    Wednesday, 29.02, we got the Highest Visits of 84 for the day.

  1233. SCeese says:

    I hope we can keep the original name, or we could rename it

    “Slash Bang!”

    yet another idea… someone should set up a poll…

  1234. ;03 says:

    Maybe we will be “allowed” to keep the name…
    I don’t find it confortable to use a trademarked name we don’t own, but it still give us the chance to have SG 1.1 out in few days/weeks.
    We will probably use sourceforge to host the website.

    SG1.1beta5a is still available at tmp.soulserv.net for testing.

    I definitively love your humor 😀

    • Biondo says:

      There’s a group of developers working hard in taking back the site and determined to make SG grow. We have to be optimist.

  1239. Barto says:

    Let me get into this debate. It’s really sad to hear that and I think I would be never able to remove the current name from my memory.

    Just few ideas:
    – Six bullets
    – Smokinguns (let’s just remove the ‘)
    – Lawmens (in reference of the well known western shooter created by LucasArt named Outlaws)
    – Winnie the gun 😀
    – Gringo
    – Guns’ Trilogy: Colt, Shotgun and Dynamite

    I really like the ideas of Smokin’ Spaghetti, it really fits with the game. Anyhow, I still prefer the original title of the game, there’s no way to take it back? Is this just a temporary problem?

  1240. JesseJames says:

    Biondo,SAPE it’s a pity that you don’t play the dyna game :). It was so funny, Gunny and AK47, Stone did it the best in the games, the liked very much I think. much LOL 🙂

    After that match we played a classic Tiujana game.

  1241. Biondo says:

    OK, my fault. Sorry. Total fail. Sorry, again.

  1242. SAPE says:

    Sorry, it is too complicated for me.
    I don’t like the complicated games. This is the reason I play SG, not COD or other FPS games.
    And there is a friend, AK-47…. I think if there is a guest in clan match, we must play normal DM with normal rules.
    I don’t like it too.

    • Biondo says:

      @Sape, I asked to a.k47 if he agreed to change map/game, and he said “OK”. Maybe I’m wrong, but knowing him a bit, I think he had already read this post about yesterday’s strange rules.

      @all: I see that I was misunderstood, when playing in Station, there was no intent to protest by my side. I was only too tired to read all the strings appearing in chat, so I missed some important info.
      I was unprepared for a TDM, I always imagined the game as an usual DM, only played in team … I hadn’t been clear enough about this, my fault. I tried to follow the rules, but when I started to see people protesting and people randomly running all over the map, I realized that the project had failed (as Zapa had predicted ;)). Next I said “free game for all”, and started following this last rule. No intent to boycott, or protest.
      Too bad that I missed the dyna game, I’ve heard that it was big fun, but my mind was elsewhere yesterday night.
      Next week I propose to you, a simple game, in the traditional style of Smokin’ Guns (or should I say Gunsmoke?).

  1243. SAPE says:

    Maybe the most simple version:

    “Smokin’ Guns” is a trademark registered, but SMOKING GUNS not.

    Opinions?

  1244. JesseJames says:

    It’s a pity that the owner of the game left the game/site without saying one word.

    Indeed I also like like deadly guns.
    Tnx Sunrise for your comments.

  1245. Slowly John says:

    yes, good

  1246. Slowly John says:

    …but… i think, Biondos Smokin’ Spaghetti is the funniest idea and so catchy 🙂

  1247. Slowly John says:

    @Sunrise: wow, nice ideas, my favorite from you is:
    Deadly Guns

  1248. Slowly John says:

    @Sape: i like:
    Wild Wild West

    … maybe can we adjust it to:
    Wild World Of West (WWOW)

    …here comes another stuff

    un colpo uno colpire (UC) 🙂
    guns and drinks (GAD)
    western history shooter (WHS)

    😀

  1249. Sunrise says:

    Names:
    Smokin’Colts
    Deadly Guns (or Colts)
    High Noon
    Colts&Cowboys
    Western Brothers

  1250. Slowly John says:

    not roofs is good here. where is the start position from team 1? left side from the railway engine (in drive view) or the right side?

  1251. Biondo says:

    Not because I’m Italian, but I think that the name should not only suggest the idea of Old/Wild West, but also recall Spaghetti Westerns, that were the original source of inspirations for the early mappers/modelers and for SG musics.

    So, IMO, in the first we have to keep in mind Sergio Leone’s movies.

    Smokin’ Spaghetti 😀

  1252. JesseJames says:

    Very nice picture, like every week.
    OK we have Jippi vs all the other members. 😀

    Team 1: Jippi, SAPE, slowly john, mope

    Team 2: Biondo, Jesse James, Sarah, Wiskey, ZaPaTa?

    are this balanced teams?

  1253. JesseJames says:

    Good idea of brainstorming.Maybe we can take something of filmtitles? or expressions in films.

    But I don’t understand why we will change of name?

    • Biondo says:

      I don’t know all details, but seems that “the owner” of the old site gave up. He will not contribute any more to the site and to the game.
      And since “Smokin’ Guns” is a trademark registered by him, it’s likely that he won’t let the group of developers that are trying to save the game use it.
      I can’t be more explicit, also because I’ve only second hand news.

  1254. SAPE says:

    I think we could make some brain storming. Lets write all of our idea.

    I start it:

    Lord of Six-shooters
    Wild-Wild West
    Six-shooters: the essence of the West

    Maybe these ideas help to you make a better name.

  1255. Biondo says:

    Yep 😉

  1256. SAPE says:

    Very nice graphic Biondo. I see you use the original bowie knife.

  1257. Biondo says:

    This is what you find connecting to Smokin’ Guns site today.

    Looks sadly ironic: “What you need, when you need it”.

  1258. SAPE says:

    Great ideas. I will be there.

  1259. ZaPaTa says:

    Owkay! I’ll be prepared for countless restarts, countless teamkilling, folks who didn’t read the rules and the obvious chaos. Sounds like fun to me!
    Hehe, can’t wait for the fireworks 🙂
    In the meantime, I’ve to visit station so I’ll be at the right side of the railroad. A bit like everyday life (without the knifes, obviously) for me.

  1260. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: great work, super grafic!!! i will use the formel and i am happy to the matches! 🙂

    the station is realy good for knife-throwing and i think also for minesweeper. hm, build balanced teams… have someone an idea? i am a knife-throwing-rookie 🙂

  1261. Slowly John says:

    yeah, i’m with you and the station. let’s do it! and if it not so cool, then we have the winnie-map, the dyna-trick and much more… but the best is we have fun together 🙂

  1262. JippiJaYeah says:

    thereaperthrees

    I hope i can be there.

  1263. JesseJames says:

    OK station is maybe the best map. 🙂
    Hehe I’am happy whit the knives, but Jippi will be outstanding 😉

  1264. JesseJames says:

    This made it not easier for all SG players. No communication what will come,…

  1265. Biondo says:

    I think we should try Station, as I said above.
    Do everyone agree?
    If not we can play a dyna-trick game and classic game, or … something else 🙂 It’s not easy to get everybody happy.

  1266. JesseJames says:

    Ok you have a point about that, but for the rest I don’t know a map that is balanced enough for the crazy plan 🙂

  1267. Biondo says:

    No, I think that in Lago you don’t have a balanced situation. one side has more roofs available, an on higher height. Also the gap between the 2 sides id too large. It shouldn’t work, IMO.

  1268. JesseJames says:

    Hmm I was thinking about Lago, One team on the roofs and an other team on the other side of the street?

  1269. JesseJames says:

    Damn it’s not good news to hear that the site is down 🙁

    On Friday I will check the new update and give feedback!

  1270. Biondo says:

    Who else loves ‘low-poly’?? I love it, I, I , I 🙂
    Hehe, thanks for citing my “Lake carnage”, you know that I love low-poly since I play with picmip 9 🙂 Such a poetry!
    Lovely illustrations yes, and they resemble SG’s scenes, yes. Good choice, thanks for sharing, I didn’t know of this illustrator.

    Just one thing, Zapa, [shouting] next time scale down the images so they fit 500-520 px (450 px in comments) … linking them to a full size resolution, don’t cut them! Damn, I have to teach you everything! Hehe 👿

    Good post 🙂

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      I feel free and edit images – take me 30 seconds. 😉

    • ZaPaTa says:

      Oops yeah, when just linking to a full resolution you get some strange scaling or cutting. True, sorry for beiing lazy 😀

      • Biondo says:

        You aren’t lazy, it’s just the system that’s not so easy. I’ll try to post some guidelines about it, as soon as possible.

        Again: nice post, great illustrations. And thanks Jippi, I didn’t take the freedom to resize them.

  1271. Biondo says:

    Wait a day or two. Too bad that SG site is down now and we don’t don’t know when it will be up and running again 🙁

  1272. Biondo says:

    Yes I know that Mine and Dry Gulch should work, but we can’t play in BallerBude (too many players), we have to play in Terra Nova and these maps are not available in TN.

  1273. ZaPaTa says:

    Hehe, glad the design *LAME*wing likes it 😀

  1274. JippiJaYeah says:

    Maybe it was inspirit first of SG Lake!?

    Big thank you ZaPaTa, it’s a great site. 🙂

  1275. Mope says:

    I love the style, and the colors , especially the first drawing.
    Thanks for the link to the dribble community.

  1276. Slowly John says:

    …ok, dynamite to ignite with throwing-knife is not possible
    🙁

  1277. Slowly John says:

    ok, maybe two from the classic maps are interesting

    1.
    “Dry Gulch”:
    – Team One: the inner range of standing buildings (little L)
    – Team Two: the outer range of standing buildings (big L)
    …from top it looks like two “L”
    🙂

    2.
    “Mine”
    – Team One: the “inner side” of buildings (near the rails)
    – Team Two: the “outer side” of buildings (near the map-periphery)

    maybe one rule more: fighting is only enabled from own team-side. if a player stand to beginn in game by the enemy side, he must (like Biondo says) run, or better sneak to the own team-side to beginn his fighting. i think that is not a problem, because the teams stand on the roofs.

  1278. Biondo says:

    I can’t find a TN map that has the necessary requisites. Harbor is full of walkable roofs, but no easy way to delimit 2 different zones. Maybe we could try in Station, not using the roofs, but using the middle train rail as confines between the 2 teams. Rail Volley, Jippi?

    For me is OK also trying the dyna-trap, although I understand that it could easily become boring. Just, we can try.

  1279. Slowly John says:

    aaaah, very interessting idea Biondo, crazy enough and very good possible. your rules are good! i like your lokal divide on place. maybe we can recruit the teams (because the DM), by sharing the teams about the overview-list in an upper-team and down-team, fifty/fifty, …and if we have a odd value, then the last player goes to the down-team. is this ok?
    incidentally, i remember the great throwing-knife-scene from James Coburn in “The Magnificent Seven”…
    i think throwing-knife-teams can make much fun. two teams on roofs, beautiful! you have right, we must find the best map for this… advantage, money is no need for. i will later look at terra nova and write here my proposal…
    and if it is possible (i would be test this later on another computer) and the team vote yes to the funny trap, to ignite dynamite ONLY with a throwing-knife, …maybe we can take this “corners-scare” with in the mission 🙂
    …and maybe we can take follow theme-name : “Coburn`s Cutter Convention” 😀

  1280. Biondo says:

    Hehe, thanks Slowly.

    I was starting to think at a knives-only fight between 2 teams of players. But not a usual knife fight: the 2 teams should be physically separated (for example on the roofs of 2 groups of houses divided by a street).
    Each player should stay only into his team’s area and can be killed only when he is into that area (if he respawns elsewhere, he should reach his team’s area).
    So it would be a pure knives throwing battle, and from distance.

    Any idea about which TN map could be the best choice for such a knives crossfire? Any idea about how to improve the game rules?

  1281. Biondo says:

    Yes, I noticed it. If you go to http://www.smokin-guns.net/ you are redirected to http://www.networksolutions.com/RV19.jsp?siteid=8. Seems like they have forgotten to pay the annual fee for the registered domain. Too bad that this happens in the exact moment when something new was happening, and “our boys” were actively testing the new beta 🙁

    • ZaPaTa says:

      Bad timing!
      With P bind I mean the sentence we use to say ‘welcome to the wild west’ etc. for me, it happens when I push ‘p’ and you can edit it in the q3config, right?
      If we publish the IP’s of the servers somewhere visible here, we could add it to the bind and publish it from time to time in-game. It’s not the best way since players are already in-game,
      but they can spread the word too.

  1282. Slowly John says:

    …ok, right, i understand, it must be possible and good for all players. but i am looking forward to another crazy ideas from our team… you know, i am a little bit crazy and very open for funny ideas… and whatever it is, i’m going with you 🙂 .
    for example, i remember me to the first winnie fight, that was so funny, because all players going without attack, to find her money, that was so sweet & friendly to see the other desperate players at the map… – i laughing so much.
    it is so nice that we have the winnie-world now! i am a big fan from the Biondo-theme-days!!

  1283. JippiJaYeah says:

    http://www.smokin-guns.net/ is gone/down.

  1284. JippiJaYeah says:

    Meanwhile you can edit your MonsterBrowser Settings:

    1. Go to Settings
    2. Got to Game configuration
    3. This will open then mods.ini
    4. Find this entry:
    [Smokin’ Guns]
    mod=smokinguns
    regKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Smokin’ Guns Productions\Smokin’ Guns\InstallPath
    exeName=smokinguns.exe
    exePath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns.exe

    5. Add this line
    masterServer=parttimegeeks.net:27950
    6. Save & close
    7. Go to check for new.

  1285. JesseJames says:

    Hmm uhu but you see it’s possible that you can have a one-weapon map. Maybe is that possible for one time?

    • Biondo says:

      Sorry Jesse, no it isn’t. I can’t do it, and I won’t do it. As I said last week, Lake is Winchester1866-only, and that is the only TN map where a single weapon is allowed. I can’t ask TheDoctor to modify the maps every week for *LAME* clan desire 🙂

      No, definitely, not. If we want to play a single-weapon map, or we play in SpecialBude, or we play in TN (Winchester) or we have to choose a cheap weapon (that means: knives, dynamite, pistols).

      Your request is legitimate, but it’s not that easy.

  1286. Slowly John says:

    @Jesse: ok, why not, but we need much money at start

  1287. ZaPaTa says:

    I always tried to ignore a bit the fact SG was getting slowly and slowly more like a fossil. Some call it boring or bad graphics, I called it back-to-basics and essentials. Picmip only made that effect bigger 🙂
    But with the crash of the monsterserver…SG could get really in danger. The changes to do in the Q3config are a heavy task for newbies and only improve their first impression of a crappy game.
    We should make this new version as soon as possible a new standard version and indeed bury the ‘damaged’ versions.

    Very good to see a player like Joe taking the lead. I can only fully support him.
    In the meantime, can we publish the IP’s somewhere ‘sticky’ or at least very visible, like in the FAQ?
    We could make a reference to this topic in our p-bind…

    Hoping the best,
    Zap

    • Biondo says:

      Zap, as I said, there is a problem with BallerBude, SpecialBude and Terra Nova not showing up in the official master server. Joe Kari is trying to find where the problem is, but probably we have to wait until Tequila (the owner of the master server) come back to see the problem solved.

      I published this post because I was really really really tired of SG 1.0, and tired of SG 1.1b4 crashes, and tired of no servers-in-game, but I understand that we need some time before everything is well tested.

      The “boys” are working hard, really hard, but give them the time 🙂

      • ZaPaTa says:

        no worries, I won’t run away if it takes some time. I’m just scared that no new players will find their way…

    • Biondo says:

      @Zapa, again.

      1– We can put a sticky link to “official” master server somewhere, just wait few hours when at least the major problems get solved.
      2– What do you mean by “our p-bind”? I feel stupid, but I don’t understand what you mean, sorry 🙂
      3– The most useful thing we can do at the moment is to download the new beta (this is a faster link added by /dev/random ftp://mirror.loop8.net/smokinguns/sg_1.1b5a-unofficial.zip), test it in Single Player mode, and report our experience in SG forum (here: http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?p=23094#23094 and here: http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?t=3035 ). They really need users feedback!

    Second, good that someone take the lead so SG will not die in the future. I saw it a bit bad the last days, because nobody was looking for a solution for the Monsterbrowser,Etc. And that is important for the youngsters, they are our future.

    Tnx Joe!!! Hope the new version will be a good one, also I hope that the new TN maps will be available in Ballerbude and the other servers. Because there are very nice maps (see our thursday CW). A bit new things will be good for the game.

  1290. Slowly John says:

    @ Biondo: yes, a card with many roofs would be good.
    @ Jippi: ok, the first player to lose the nerves is running…
    😀
    but you can, if you’re quick, pick up the dynamite of the other players.
    perhaps we have a flopp, but I like those ideas with crazy rules, maybe someone has a better idea for a big other battle, like the super-winnie-map 🙂

  1291. JesseJames says:

    Hmm I don’t so much dyna, but jippi have a point when he said that everybody is waiting, than there are no kills. 🙂

  1292. ZaPaTa says:

    Yeah! Awesome! I’m on Youtube too…With my worst skills. Look at that, twice last one 😀

    • Biondo says:

      Sorry, Zapa, didn’t noticed 😀
      I wasn’t there, don’t know when it was filmed.

  1293. Slowly John says:

    hello friends

    my idea for the next clan-fighting-theme is a dyna-
    revival with follow strong rules:

    – all players use only dynamite to kill other players
    (it is good and inexpensive)
    – but! (and this is the best 🙂 ) all can ignite the dynamite ONLY with a gun (not with another dynamite from hand)
    – a name proposal for this version, maybe “Minesweeper”
    😀

    …what are you thinking about this crazy stuff? i can
    imagine a lot of fun with all of this traps. have you a
    idea for a good map to do this?

    a good night for all now, because i will go online
    first tomorrow again…

    your john

    • Biondo says:

      You mean shooting at dyna, lying on the ground. For me it’s OK, probably not a fast game as the last we played with dyna, but let’s try.

      Which map? I suppose a map with many roofs (Tijuana, Lago, Deadwood, Harbor…). If I remember well somebody lag in Harbor, and Tijuana starts to get boring (IMHO). Deadwood?

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Hmm…, when everybody is waiting for his laying trap, who is then running? 😉

  1294. Slowly John says:

    very nice 🙂

  1295. Mope says:

    Cool, I’m on the internet! Mom, look I’m on Youtube!

  1296. JesseJames says:

    Haha very funny video Biondo, it’s strange to see the game from another side. And it’s funny to hear his reaction on our kills.

  1297. JesseJames says:

    Nice page bro, didn’t know that their was a connection between reggae and western-movies. Very nice.

  1298. JippiJaYeah says:

    I’m not really reggae fan, but “Up The Creek on Steve Lamacq” in western style was very funny.

  1299. ZaPaTa says:

    I knew you would like it 🙂 That’s one thing I like, you also seems to have a large interest in ‘things’. I hope other members will like it too.
    It’s true, it’s ‘happy’ music, but you might find ‘dub’ (it’s in fact not a genre, more a way of dealing with music) a bit harder then. All reggae is music from and for the people so it also contains a certain toughness. Dub is harder and more difficult (a bit like Jazz versus Pop), and mostly needs some background information 🙂
    have fun!

  1300. Biondo says:

    Great post, Zapa. Informative about a music that always fascinated me (also if I don’t listen to it regularly), and the interesting contaminations with other genres and trends you talk of. Now I understand what “dub” is.
    Nice covers too.
    I’ll keep the time to listen to all the samples you linked in your post, but just listening to the last one is fun.
    Why reggae has always the power to make my lips smile?
    Reggae =Auto-smile ON.

  1301. ZaPaTa says:

    Toryr, yes

    Vincent. I don’t know…He’s friendly but he often start to say strange things. Is he playing drunk? He often make references to it…
    Roli. No for me. Why? Can’t tell. I don’t feel it with him. He’s not a good player. He doesn’t say a thing. Why link the LAME name with such a player? We can learn him some if he’s willing. How is his english? Can we communicate?
    I think we often have to be aware of our reputation of skilled-or learning to get skilled (like myself)- players. Why taking the risk of changing our reputation?

    • Biondo says:

      Hmm… you surprise me, Zapa. I didn’t know you were so concerned about clan skills…

      But you have some points when you talk about communication. In fact, also looking to logs, the only word roli said in 2 years is gg. Only with SAPE he says something in Hungarian. This could be a problem, particularly in this blog.

      Vincent: You made me remember something. As I said, looking at logs, he is not an insulting player, but I also associate him to an uncomfortable sensation. I can’t remember why and when, but sure sometimes he wasn’t so a friendly player with me and others.

      So, to summarize my thought: I think we should reconsider if accepting Roli and Vincent in the clan. No problem with Toryr.

      [And now back to read Zapa’s last post “A little post on small facts”, yum seems tasty ;)]

  1302. Slowly John says:

    uauu, i wrote too slow, i think like Jippi and Wiskey! i saw Wiskey`s entry after my hard work to translation 😀

  1303. Slowly John says:

    i have the feeling, that Vincent, Roli and Toryr are friendly player. i have played today with Vincent and Roli… they play good – sometimes too good for me 😉 . i am a fan (from time to time) from a quiet fight 🙂 and i think like Jippi; it would a pleasure to play with all of them in clan.

  1304. Wiskey says:

    I fully agree with your proposal clan. I’ve been playing a lot with them and I do not have any problems with them.

  1305. JippiJaYeah says:

    Vincent, the almost playing player.
    Toryr, the good player
    Roli, the surprise bag – the only player that stands still, when you shot him.

    Very quiet players, but i’m glad to see all three in the clan.

  1306. JesseJames says:

    Indeed Roli is a silent player, someone that don’t talk a lot, and he play SG for a long time. But sometimes it seems that 2 guys play on his account. Because sometimes he is ‘good’ and sometimes he has 6 kills in 1 round. (like yesterday). Very strange. But maybe this is his chance to improve his skills.

  1307. Biondo says:

    Roli is pure as white lily. I had no doubt, it wouldn’t have been necessary to consult Echelon. He is a long time player, that unfortunately never found a way to improve his skills.

    I agree with accepting Roli in clan.

  1308. SAPE says:

    Ok. I suggest somebody too: Roli from Romamia.
    He lives in Romania, but he is a Hungarian boy.
    What is your opinion?
    I think you know him. He is good player, I have no problem with him.
    @Biondo: What’s about his warnings?

  1309. SAPE says:

    Toryr and Vince are OK too. Good, kind players.

  1310. ZaPaTa says:

    Great news! “nice skillz but just for fun”, i love it, very true!
    Thanks Joe for the very kind words.

  1311. Slowly John says:

    big thx @spi!!

  1312. Mope says:

    Toryr is a good player, I’ll be glad if he joins us.

  1313. JippiJaYeah says:

    @Bindo: Thought so too, but the iBOT stats were correct.

    @Jesse: Yes, i played as your Nightmare.

  1314. JesseJames says:

    Hmm indeed Toryr is a good guy, always a good behavior,… It’s OK for me.

    I would also recruit Vincent, he is from Russia and would also like to join our clan, but he didn’t wrote anything on our site. He is always friendly, one negative point is that his english is not so good?

    Colt peacemaker : 5991
    smith&wesson schofield : 2387
    remington1858: 1874
    Bowie knife: 515
    Sawed of shotgun: 190
    colt lightning: 115
    sharps rifle: 95
    winchester 1866: 61
    remington gauge: 43
    dynamite: 25
    gatling gun: 9

    What do you think guys and girl?

  1315. Biondo says:

    I’d like to recruit Toryr, because:

    1– He asked me to join the clan some time ago, and I completely forgot his request until today (was written in a piece of paper)
    2– He is a long registered BB player
    3– He always behaved well. The only warnings he got were wrong auto-warnings (like when he said “gg i am noob”)
    4– He is a good player, though there is space for improvements
    5– He doesn’t use too much dynamite. Look at his stats:
    Remington 1858 7409
    Smith & Wesson Schofield 6093
    Colt Peacemaker 3872
    Bowie Knife 2145
    Sawed-Off Shotgun 504
    Dynamite 278
    6– Now that Greyman has taken a pause from game, a new member will be good
    7– He is from Poland, and we don’t have a member from that country

    What do you think?

  1316. SAPE says:

    Yep. I think the same Jesse. We are on a good way.
    Thanx Joe.

  1317. JesseJames says:

    Thanks @spi!! Zapa,Sarah,Jippi and me played in the last seconds of the “previous” BB. It was fun, too know that the future is coming. 🙂

  1318. JesseJames says:

    Joe thanks for this words, I appreciate that very much. It’s important for me that the clan is on a good way.
    And yes alamo is one of the best maps ever.

  1319. SAPE says:

    Thanx @spi!

  1320. @spi says:

    arrggg … it works !

    a hard day behinde me, enoght 4 me !

    prost ! cheers, skol …
    i have to drink more 😉

    lg @spi

  1321. JesseJames says:

    Haha Slowly nice masterpiece 🙂

    Indeed Sape, it’s a pity that you can’t play yesterday, than we were all online @the same moment. Great guys, and girl. 🙂

  1322. Slowly John says:

    thank you very much 🙂

  1323. SAPE says:

    Great Johnny-boy! 😀

  1324. Biondo says:

    LOL, nice Slowly 🙂

  1325. Slowly John says:

    what for a game
    with the players from lame
    what for a fun
    with the smoking-gun
    what for a joke
    if my friends poke
    it is so nice and free
    here can i happy die (several times)
    😀
    your winnietou

  1326. Slowly John says:

    yes, a nice work

  1327. Biondo says:

    I agree, Mope’s oneliners are always masterpieces of humour.

  1328. ZaPaTa says:

    Hehe we missed you SAPE in our allmost full LAME evening.
    I got my system to work again, luckily, so I played some good games. First game Sarah took the lead, followed by a overheated Jesse. Second game started fine to, but I couldn’t compete against JJY camping dyna style. Brutal!
    (But I would like a dyna round once in a while too).

    I love Mope’s oneliners…Door is so closed…hehe.
    Scary moment too in, I believe the second game: I killed Mope, His body was laying in front of me; Next moment I got shot by the same mope who is standing… behind me! Alive! freaking scary!
    It was fun, thanks all!

  1329. SAPE says:

    Sorry borthers, I wasn’t at home.
    GG all!

    @Biondo: Who is the father of AwesomPossum’s child? Hm, I know somebody who love Awesompossum-type. Lets see Awesom’s tattoo, maybe it help. 😀

  1330. JesseJames says:

    Second game was a hell! So much dyna,gatlings, firework,etc. So much Chaos, it was even worse than WW2 :).

    First game i had luck in the last minutes to make much kills with the winnie. 🙂

    Tnx all for the beautiful game, so much lame!

    If awesome get kids, what for kids would it be with such a mother. 🙂 They get their milk with a gun I think.

  1331. SCeese says:

    It was fun playing with you *LAME* people. Gotta love bad ping…

  1332. Biondo says:

    I can’t even think of the problems that should arise if AwesomePossum gets pregnant. Hmm… Who’s the father? Will she behave as a good mother or will she abandon his baby in carriage of Fort? Will the baby kill me when I’ll give him his milk bottle? How should I name him? And where shoul I register his birth? Too many worries for an old man like me… 🙂

  1333. JippiJaYeah says:

    Sorry, this was from myself the lamest game forever.
    But i think, we need some special sounds of dynamite and gatling gun.

    • Biondo says:

      No problem, Jippi. Dyna and Gatlings are legitimate weapons. Just don’t abuse of them 😉
      You are still the top player in BB stats, 10 times more ratio than the second one 🙂

      • JippiJaYeah says:

        It’s not me, it’s my iBot (the leader of the bot-clan). 😉

        • Biondo says:

          I don’t own an iPad or an iPhone or an iBiondo, but I’d like to own an iBot as you. 🙂

          • JippiJaYeah says:

            If AwesomePossum get pregnant, then you can adopt a little iBot. 🙂

          • JippiJaYeah says:

            My iBOT is dead!!! 🙁

          • Biondo says:

            Hehe, sorry Jippi. I suppose that Doc couldn’t find another way to repair stats without destroying your iBOT.

          • JesseJames says:

            Jippi did you played with Jesse’snightmare 🙂
            Pff my stats are worse pfff, even ZaPaTa is better than me 🙂

  1334. Biondo says:

    Here are the screenshots:

    Maps: Lake & Lago.

    Totally mad game. I particularly loved the prequel ( the game played waiting for the right hour), played in Lake but only in the swimming pool. Not bad.

    Quotes:

    *LAME*Mope: water is cold?

    *LAME*Slowly John: i am winnietoo

    *LAME*jesse jame: killerqueen 🙂

    *LAME*jesse jame: you are f…… good biondo :p

    *LAME*jesse jame: sharp moep
    *LAME*ZaPaTa: who’s moep?

    *LAME*Mope: pool party!

    *LAME*ZaPaTa: burglar!!!

    *LAME*jesse jame: ribaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    *LAME*jesse jame: the long street with the houses

    *LAME*jesse jame: chaooooossssss

    *LAME*jesse jame: woot woot

    *LAME*Mope: door is so closed

    *LAME*Biondo: jippi ugly 🙂

    *LAME*jesse jame: ok you ask dyna you earn dyna 🙂

    *LAME*Slowly John: i will hug you 🙂

    *LAME*ZaPaTa: full LAME power!

  1335. Biondo says:

    Very nice.

  1336. JesseJames says:

    I saw just this video about communication, and yes the last hundred years is our way of communicate totally changed. If you think that we communicate in all different parts of the world, it’s incredible.

    http://www.humo.be/filmpjes/87881/evolutie-van-communicatie

  1337. JesseJames says:

    @Biondo, yes it’s my fault :). Normally with a poll their is a notification that you already voted. 🙂 But this time I didn’t saw it, and taught hmmm my vote is not counted. 🙂

  1338. JippiJaYeah says:

    Eheh, we have 10 members and 11 votes – the poll is private!? 😉

    • Biondo says:

      Yes it is, but seems that Jesse voted 3 times (football is sooo important 😉 ) and Grey haven’t voted.

  1339. Biondo says:

    @Zapa: for me is OK a first match in Greenhill Lake, but I propose an underwater match … hehe … a fight in the swimmingpool 🙂

    @Jesse: no I wasn’t talking about covers, just wanted to say that he doesn’t seem too original (but it’s a personal opinion).

  1340. JesseJames says:

    Didn’t know that he makes covers,( do you mean that Baila Morena isn’t his song?). But it feels like summer. 🙂

  1341. Wiskey says:

    Dynamite and Lake.

    • Biondo says:

      Wiskey, the problem with Sawed-Off shotgun is that it’s really expensive.
      There is only one map that is limited to a single weapon: Lake/Winchester1866. If you want to use a different weapon in another map and use only that weapon, it has to be a cheap one (knives, dynamite, pistols, …)

      • ZaPaTa says:

        I’m in for another round of Lake/winnie. I love it to warm up.
        On the other hand, I can’t promise if I can make it, i recently reinstalled Win7 and I got some probs running my q3config. I’m looking for a solution, so I hope i’ll find one for tonight!

  1342. Mope says:

    Wow, cool. You’re improving your video editing skills, Biondo, that’s great. How did you mange to gather all the bots together in one spot? Some script tweaks of caused damage?

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you, very much, Mope!
      No, no script… simply when you put 10 bots in Dry Gulch they are irresistibly attracted by streets cross.

  1343. Biondo says:

    Hehe :), thanks to all… another stupid video by Biondo.
    And thanks to Jippi from SNH too.

  1344. Biondo says:

    @Slowly: a double check is always good. Don’t trust Google 100%, you still have to know a bit of English. Celentano is very famous here, but too old (also for me) 🙂

    @Jesse: I also like Paolo Conte more. Zucchero? Hmm… not so bad, but the best of his work is just a copy of others’ work.

  1345. JesseJames says:

    Oh I like this Italian guys, but I like this singersongwriter too: Paolo Conte: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W-fhTTJAD4

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmdnCjBDTeA&feature=related

  1346. Wiskey says:

    Station, and Ghosttown. Can we play another game that we use only one weapon?

    • Biondo says:

      For me it’s OK, Wiskey. Propose a weapon and a map. I publish the post about our weekly deathmatch 1-2 days before it, just to let all members the time to comment and propose… so please…

  1347. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: made with google-translator with a check in both directions, over german and english to minimize the errors 🙂

    it is pity, i can not italy language speech, read or understand, but i love the beautiful sound of italy spoken language (spoken and singing)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1VGoKBKR3I

    …specifically the operettas and operas from fantastic italian composers:

  1348. Slowly John says:

    …very nice video 😀

  1349. JesseJames says:

    This is so epic Biondo! Haha great battle everything is better than the Dutch guys. 🙂

    I’am ready for it, just stretched my muscles :).
    my maps: lago, Station

  1350. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hehe, it looks like all vs all at european football championship 2012. Damm, i couldn’t see who wins.

    Btw, you son makes a very nice 3D intro – i like it.

  1351. SAPE says:

    Thanx for the information.

  1352. Wiskey says:

    I think that I can now close that poll, but I have to watch how I do it.

  1353. Slowly John says:

    thanks, good to know 🙂

    @Biondo: una bella foto così adatto per tema, meraviglioso!!!

    • Biondo says:

      😀 Your Italian is perfect! Hehe…
      [Of course, the source is Leone’s “For a Few Dollars More “]

  1354. JesseJames says:

    Oh good that I know it, so I can drink something or upgrade my skills in Bank Robbery in Jeuxlinux 🙂

  1355. SAPE says:

    I vote yes.

  1356. Biondo says:

    I have voted YES, but as I said before, I cannot guarantee I will be on time.

  1357. Wiskey says:

    Thank you to those who have so far voted in favor. It seems that the new time is now 20.30 in Central Europe and 21.30 in Finland and Israel. Suits me better.

  1358. ZaPaTa says:

    yep, better for me too, but it’s to all of us to decide

  1359. Slowly John says:

    thx for the voting, earlier is ever better for me 🙂

  1360. JesseJames says:

    I voted for yes, so I can see football that starts @9 o’clock . 🙂

  1361. Biondo says:

    It was at 21:00 (in Germany and Italy).

  1362. JippiJaYeah says:

    What time was usual? I didn’t remember.

  1363. Biondo says:

    I’ve added an explanation about publishing polls at the end of the page Secrets: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/

  1364. JesseJames says:

    WTH a winstreak of 275 is incredible 🙂

  1365. Biondo says:

    BTW, seems like BB stats are broken and iBOT (alias Jippi) ratio is ten times more the ratio of Nautica 😀 [Click on image to see it].

  1366. JesseJames says:

    Ok great work Biondo, hope it also. 🙂

  1367. Biondo says:

    Talked to **T, and he/she said “if it’s a problem, we’ll not do it again”.
    I hope so.

  1369. Sarah says:

    They were ruining the game for me and also playing in a team explains why they are both the same women character 🙂

  1370. JesseJames says:

    Oh I taught so Sarah that you spectated them 🙂

  1371. Sarah says:

    I played with them yesterday too, I had a feeling they were playing in a team so I spectated.

    They clearly were doing so but to cover it up they occasionally shot at each other and purposely missed.

  1372. JesseJames says:

    Indeed I played yesterday against him and they played also a bit in teams, when i shot the first the second killed me. 🙂 But I found it a challenge to kill them both.

    And yes ZaPa and I did it a long time ago 🙂

  1373. Biondo says:

    Every time I played against **T and **M they were fair, friendly and never played in team. Hmm… strange. I will ask them.

  1374. SAPE says:

    OK.
    They are the “two yellow star and one blue letter” team. 🙂
    I think **T and **M.
    They have a third team mate, I don’t know his name. Some days ago I played against them in Alamo. They were teaming with 3 persons.

  1375. **M** says:

    Thank you! That’s indeed helpful, I didn’t even know there is a Paladin BR server 🙂

  1376. Biondo says:

    No, from you second demo they are not [NUS] clan…
    Since JeeuxLinux was down for few days, it was predictable to have seen players playing in team in Baller.

    Now that Jeux is up again I think they will go back to the place hence they came from.

  1377. Biondo says:

    Haha! I suppose you are talking about [NUS] clan…

    I told them that playing in team is not fair. They just changed their names and played in team as always. I suppose they also play in live voice contact (like Jesse and Zapa in good old times 😉 )

    There’s not a written rule in Baller about players playing in team, but I don’t know how long I will be able to tolerate this behaviour.
    Maybe one day I’ll kick them.

  1378. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Biondo, could you do something against players who play in team in Baller server.
    I tried to fight, but I had no chance.

    The demo:

    bb.game-host.org/demos/741684c9_dm_fort_0001.dm_68

    bb.game-host.org/demos/1f8217a0_dm_fort_0171.dm_68

    The first is one of the teamplayer’s view, the secound is my view.

  1379. ZaPaTa says:

    For me it’s good, even better too. I believe I asked it before to the clan Wiskey, and then we didn’t changed it (or me made it a bit later…Something like that…)

  1380. Slowly John says:

    sorry friends, i was total busy and also a little bit sick… maybe next week… (i think earlier playing is better for me too) best greetings @All

    @Jesse: i miss you too 😉

    @Biondo: haha, ugly-thursday… what for a great & funny idea to remember! 😀 😀 😀

  1381. Mope says:

    Let’s make it half an hour earlier. BTW, in these cases, when we must assure that’s the whole clang decision, the poll can be published.

  1382. SAPE says:

    A half hour, or a hour earlier is good for me too.

  1383. JesseJames says:

    For me it’s also a bit better that is a bit earlier, so i can watch football 😀

  1384. Biondo says:

    Hi Wiskey! For me 1/2 an hour earlier is possible, though not so easy.
    Hope you can join the games.

  1385. SAPE says:

    Hm…. wasn’t my day. There are many reasons:

    I never use dyna, so I haven’t got experience with it.
    I don’t like/I don’t know the map Deadwood.
    And my ping was outstanding bad. ( you can see my ping values in the screenshots. It is not really bad, but I used timenudge -50, so my real ping was very-very bad.)

    GG all.

  1386. JesseJames says:

    Indeed very funny first game with the dyna. But we were very bad with it 🙂 Much suicides,…
    Second game I was long time on the lead but then I don’t made kills anymore.

    It was a pity that Jippi,SlowlyJohn, ZaPaTa, Wiskey,and Grey don’t find the time to play with us.
    Also thanks Sun!

  1387. Biondo says:

    Strange deathmatch.
    It was partially kidnapped to obtain a client crash for debugging purposes. But no crash happened 🙁
    Few players, I have to say. Not the best condition to get a crash.

    The first game was Tijuana, dyna-only. The second Deadwood, all weapons.
    In the second game Sunrise showed us what playing SG means. Nice Sun.

    Mope had to download the map. Sape wasn’t really playing, IMO.

    Here are the screenshots:

  1388. @spi says:

    sry folks, that i am not present in SG gaming past months …

    your clan spirit is realy greate ! nice team, nice members, realy well done !

    real live involved me to much to find time for sg gaming, but be sure me and doc, always support the LAME BB Clan,
    and follow your activities 😉

    feel free to contact me about … what ever

    cheers
    markus

  1389. JesseJames says:

    Indeed nice video 🙂
    I’am ready to blow up your speakers 😉

    BTW: zapata can not play this evening because he has a congress with his work.

  1390. SAPE says:

    Very fun video 😀 😀

  1391. SAPE says:

    OK. I am in. 🙂

  1392. Mope says:

    Prepare to see the world from high above. I’ll give you a quck course of levitation lessons.

  1393. Slowly John says:

    😀 funny 😀

  1394. SAPE says:

    😀 😀 😀

  1395. Mope says:

    too weird!

  1396. JesseJames says:

    Oh yes the gravity server that i could not tested,… 🙁

  1397. Biondo says:

    Hehe, do you remember when I was playing with a low gravity server?
    One time, I filled the server with bots, gravity = 0, map Lake. After few minutes some bots where running or crouching in the sky, while a couple of them were swimming! 🙂

    The audio is broken, but I’m too lazy to fix it.

  1398. JesseJames says:

    Hahah great video how did you do that?
    very nice story 🙂

  1399. JesseJames says:

    Oh yes too early in the morning 😉

  1400. Biondo says:

    Yes, of course you are right! It’s Lago. Lake (aka Greenhill Lake) is the fourth from left.

    I’ll correct it as soon as possible.

  1401. JesseJames says:

    Haha Tiujana is the best map ever in Terra Nova :). But indeed it’s the print of Lago and not lake, i think we played more than 2 times in lake, not?

  1402. SAPE says:

    Nice work Biondo!
    But the third from the right side…I think it isn’t lake, it is lago

  1403. JesseJames says:

    Hehe their is also a facebookgroup (circus maximus) so you can talk to other guys of the SG scene.

  1404. Barto says:

    Yes, Tijuana is definitely a small map made for some quick fight. I’m not a really fast player or a shotgun user, this is why I did not made the exploit of lake.
    Winnies and lake are fitting nicely together. Sure, the fastest way to knock out your enemy was to make an headshot. But as I also saw there, with winnies, the players are doing some more movements to avoid being shot and this is a little harder to aim.
    I was also there at the station, but well, I kinda forgot my harmonica and I had some lags (see the r620 post on sg’s website). Anyway, this was again a tons of fun to play 🙂

    Now just a little nooby question, is there a way, like for IRC, for being able to use some instant messaging system. I’m sure you’re some nice guys and, well, that won’t be bad to know a little more your personality 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Thanks Barto!

      Instant messaging: some of us have a Jabber account, and mainly in the late evening we chat there. If you want you can find me there. To avoid to be spammed, I’ll send you my ID via a private message in SG forum.

  1405. ZaPaTa says:

    Great evening, very fun games. I like the fact LAKE is now a winnie-territoy. Thanks Doc & Biondo. It’s a disastrous weapon, and I didn’t know it could make headshots. Ofcourse I was distracted by Horatio, and unprepared with this winnie (It’s not my kind of winnie 😉 ) so 7 to 30 for a score isn’t a real score…But I had good times, very fun.
    Also, we played an aftermatch with Mope and Sarah in Station, we had a lot of fun moving the trains and getting under the rails 😀

    thanx for the evening, I like the matches with a theme (like LAKE is now, stricktly Winnie…)CU next time

  1406. Slowly John says:

    …too bad, i had no time yesterday, but i hope to our next meeting.

    @Biondo: great story, nice picture!!!

  1407. SAPE says:

    It was great and fun. GG all!

  1408. JesseJames says:

    HEhe great game with you Barto 🙂 And yes i was the first who knew his mystery :).
    And i won in Tiujana so it was a very funny evening. Also with the winnie. Thanks Doc!

  1409. Biondo says:

    hey, Dike, still here?? Read my answer to your comment above: TN autodownload is not disabled. I just made a try. Sure it’s disabled in your client. Check i

  1410. Horatio Caine says:

    Wow, that was tense in all sense of terms 🙂
    Let’s start to tell who I am. This was “the mistery” of the game. No, i’m not Dike, I wasn’t jippy, nor Sarah. I admit that I know how to use the /rcon power because I kinda suggested you to scan my ip. Unfortunately, I wasn’t knowing that you did not have power there, my apologize.
    Well, maybe the murderer at dm_lake was just… |RP|ElBarto .
    I already revealed my identity to jesse james, maybe it already spreaded out. Anyway, that was a really nice moment to pass with you. Cu maybe next time.

    -Barto

  1411. Biondo says:

    Ok, it finished.
    Don’t know who played well (sure not me) and who don’t. I hadn’t time to look at scores, my attention was captured by Horatio Caine. Who is he? Of course he wasn’t spam, and he is somebody used to \rcon commands, he is admin somewhere. I don’t have access to \rcon commands in TN. Who are you Horatio?? 🙂

  1412. JippiJaYeah says:

    Horatio Caine is the investigator of CSI: Miami.;)

    10 lame member in a shooting.
    9 men dead.
    1 alive.
    —————————————–
    = sarah

    • Biondo says:

      I thought he was you, Jippi-Ya-YEAAAAHHHHH, but I see I was wrong.
      Maybe he is Dike (aka XOP-Magician) or it’s just spam.

      Your proposed solution, playing with words men/women was very smart, anyhow. Congrats!

      • it’s not me. my writing style is bad, thus distinguishable from others 😀

        anyway, it’s at least the second week i am trying to connect (forgot to tell ya), but the autodownload function was disabled. i am too tired (have to sleep soon) to explain why it’s not a good idea imho. maybe i didn’t consider every aspect of that issue, maybe it’s not even disabled on purpose – anyway, – asking politely and curious for reasons – why it isn’t enabled? 🙂

        • Biondo says:

          Your writing style is better, we know 🙂

          OMG, autodownload is disabled in TN?? I have no power in TN, but I’ll write to TheDoctor about it. Sure it was a mistake, not a choice.

        • Biondo says:

          Dike, in TN autodownload is not disabled. I just made a try. Sure it’s disabled in your client. Check it.

  1413. Mope says:

    Detective Mope comes to solve the mystery.

  1414. JesseJames says:

    BTWHoratio Caine who are you in game? 🙂
    TNx to visiting our little clan.

    Biondo, also a nice new innovation with the coming events.GREAT work.

    • Biondo says:

      Hmm… Horatio Caine. A mystery in the mystery. Is he the missing man of Greenhill Lake? Is he the one who survived the carnage, now living in disguise? And if he is, what is his real name?
      Let’s see how he closed his comment: “YEAAAAHHHHH”. Hmm… this reminds me of someone 😉

  1415. JesseJames says:

    Nice story Biondo, love it (also the figure with the police line do not cross is very nice 🙂 )

    Wow what do you think of LAKE? 🙂 and Tiujana?

  1416. SAPE says:

    😀 😀 😀

    I will be there. CU.

  1417. Horatio Caine says:

    Sounds like,
    The winnies,
    cut their cigars.

    /me puts his dark glasses.

    YEAAAAHHHHH

  1418. Biondo says:

    🙂

  1419. ZaPaTa says:

    Great to see how the basic, hard, shapes of the ‘real’ map works very graphically on the poster. Nice one!

  1420. Slowly John says:

    a very beautiful work Biondo!!

  1421. GREYMAN says:

    @Jesse: She is the godmother of my daughter. 🙂

    @Mope: Thanks! 🙂 Beautiful legends… 😀

  1422. SAPE says:

    Very nice poster Biondo!

  1423. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Mope, and thanks to all! I love it too. This time I haven’t tried to emulate anybody, just tried to express an atmosphere about Lake+Winchester. I haven’t tried to emulate the 60s years, nor the 19th century (though I have both in my veins, I suppose). I have to say that I’m quite satisfied with it, and this doesn’t happen frequently to me. I wish I had a print of it 🙂

  1424. Mope says:

    Wow, great poster. One of my favorites, from now. So clean, so smart use of textures.

  1425. Mope says:

    Very interesting person, this Davy Crockett, thank you, Greyman. Though, the episode with 16 Mexicans and a knife seems hmm… mythological. But that’s what happens with legends 🙂

  1426. JesseJames says:

    NICE new image 🙂

  1427. JesseJames says:

    Grey you took SAPE’s women? :p

  1428. Wiskey says:

    I am watched that Alamo movie. Nice work Grey

  1429. GREYMAN says:

    Thanks Guys! 😀
    Even if it is appropriate to thank someone without whom these articles were not published on the website.

    THANK YOU CORNELIA!
    /She is my translator/

  1430. JesseJames says:

    Again nice page GREY and Sape. Again very interesting person that I didn’t know before reading the page.

  1431. SAPE says:

    I updated it: Page by GREYMAN.
    @Grey: Nice page. 🙂

  1432. GREYMAN says:

    Thanx Biondo. 🙂

  1433. Biondo says:

    Nice, Sape. Long time since your (and Greyman’s) last page about Old West.

    You made me remember when I was child and my brother had a typical Davy Crockett hat, that almost made me dye of envy 🙂

  1434. Biondo says:

    Thanks to all 🙂

    @Zapa: I’m glad you took the time to “explore” Padua. But as I said, I’ve only few photos of my town. You know, when you travel you take a lot of photos, while your town is every day in front of your eyes, you memorize it in your brain and don’t immortalize it in photos.
    I particularly love “Prato della Valle” (do you remember? the biggest square in Italy). There, you can see the sky –not so easy in a town– and it’s an ever changing show! Fog, sun, sunrise, sunset, clouds, stars … every day, every single hour of the day a different scenery. Plus the market. And in the background, the immense mass of the basilica of Santa Giustina, with its oriental influences, like a pirates’ ship incumbency.

    Sad enough, Padua is not all roses. It’s a provincial town. Lot of history and mean inhabitants, more interested in money than in art, history and nature.

    I’d like to have been a man from the times of Humanism: many interests in all fields of human knowledge. Something that is every day more difficult to attain. Thanks for appreciation.

    I don’t know Belgium, just crossed it while travelling to Germany or Holland, but my *superficial* impression was similar to yours: a little bit grey. I’m sure that it’s not all grey. Anyway, when one is young generally he hates the place where he lives. You have to learn to love it, also when it seems an impossible mission. Have to find the “genius loci”. You have to dig “the town under the town”, and find all its layers. Only when you’ll find them you’ll love it, and you’ll be able to be useful to your local community.

    A special reason for playing SG? Its theme, yes, its slow pace, my love for Leone and Morricone, but most of all its community. A small community, where we know each others and we can interact.

    This theme: Just to make my work easier I based the theme of this blog on an existing one, the Retromania theme by Jay Hafling (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/retromania). 90% of the images had been changed to fit a Western theme. Originally I designed it for BalleBude, but since Baller’s blog had never seen the light, I recycled it, with minor modifications and improvements, for the clan.

    Ecoline: great invention! When I was young I couldn’t afford to fill a 100×70 piece of paper just with china inks. Too expensive. And Ecoline also have a more vibrant colour. Nice matter to handle.

    Good luck with your vegetables! I’m sure you’ll love them 🙂

    • ZaPaTa says:

      Yep, I’m constantly looking to make produce work in a ‘cheap’ way. I can’t stand the idea one has to buy expensive material to ‘do art’…I like the fact ecoline is cheap, and cheaper than inks. Some reason why I work with acrylics. Cheapest colors for sale I believe.

  1435. GREYMAN says:

    GG!!! Nice work Guys! Thank you!
    Very well done! 😀

  1436. SAPE says:

    😀
    Big discovery Biondo!
    I am sorry about Mercurius.

    • Biondo says:

      Mercurius? Thank him. I know that he has lost some time for us, but this way it’s impossible to migrate. Absolutely, not your fault, Sape!

  1437. Biondo says:

    OMG, I’ve just made a big discovery!

    Now that I have the site backup on my desktop, I was curious to see which files were so big to fill our available space.
    And the culprit was a WordPress plugin: wp-mail-log.

    It’s a plugin to debug mail problems. I think it was the plugin that Jippi used when he was trying to solve Sarah’s mail problem, but it’s also possible that I installed it and I forgot about it. The bad is that it wrote a huge file of log: 438 MB.

    Of course, I removed it and deleted the log file.

    As you can see from the following screenshots (taken in Altervista control panel), removing wp-mail-log the available space jumped from 63,9% to 18,7%!

    I wrongly accused Altervista of being a money-sucker.
    Now, I think that for at least 2-3 years since now on, we shouldn’t have space problems anymore 😀

    • ZaPaTa says:

      Hilarious!

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Yes, i think it was my fault. I have used the plugin wp-mail-log to debug the mail problems. After successfully solution, i forgot it to deactivating. I didn’t realize that the file is growing in such way.
      Anyway, good job with investigation.

      • Biondo says:

        @Jippi: now I have uninstalled the plugin. Is it OK or was it in use for Sarah’s and John’s email notifications?
        If it’s needed, it can be reinstalled and configured to work without updating a log file.
        OK?

  1438. Biondo says:

    BTW, today I’m doing a backup of the site, downloading the database and all the files in our space. The backup started in the morning at 8:00 and will end at 17:15 (more than 9 hours!).

  1439. Biondo says:

    I know that a colleague of mine (actually he is system administrator) hosts his private sites on Aruba (an Italian service) for few money and he is quite happy with it. I’ll ask more infos to him tomorrow.

    Looking at their basic offer (http://hosting.aruba.it/hosting_con_spazio.asp?Lang=EN&offerta=2), with only €20,66 + taxes / year, you get unlimited space and traffic.

    After experiencing Altervista, I would feel more comfortable paying around €24,00/year, than with a free space that is never enough and you need to upgrade every few months.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Right, it’s more comfortable. So, Aruba is a good offer.
      24,00€ with including mySQL (opt) i see.
      To support the site with some Euro is fine for me.

      • Biondo says:

        Hmm… no. Actually MySQL is an “opt”, that means an extra (€7,00 + tax /year), but it’s still a reasonable price.

        Thanks for your offer of contributing, but I’m the oldest member here 😉 so for the first year I would be glad to pay.

  1440. JesseJames says:

    Is it not possible to remove the oldest things? Like our first clanwars, and other things.

    • Biondo says:

      I wouldn’t like to remove old things, since they are part of our “history”.
      Moreover it’s not so easy, you should remove the graphic files, since they occupy much more space than text. And the risk is that, after hours of time spent carefully choosing which images to remove (and updating consequently posts and comments), you end up with only a 10% more space. This wouldn’t solve anything, as you see.

  1441. Biondo says:

    At the moment we are occupying around 700 MB of space. The Free offer of 000webhost.com includes 1500 MB.

    This means that, if they are saying the truth and we want to continue to have many graphics in our posts, we should be OK for 6 months.
    And next… ?

  1442. ZaPaTa says:

    Red it, very interesting stories. I took the liberty of walking around in Padua with google streetview. Then I looked to the photo’s you took, Biondo and I already recognized a lot of the places. I love that view on the canal and the basilica. Must be very exciting for a person loving history to live there; my impression was right too, you’re a man with many many interests, that spice up you’re interests. (one of the things i love about Italian cooking; simple but fair and fresh ingredients; Making with simple things exciting stuff). In comparison the ‘normal’ Belgian man looks Booooring and our towns grey. I always feels a little bit alienated here, it’s good to know there are so many other colorful people out there.
    Extra question; is there a special reason for playing SG, concerning it’s theme…A love for Western, Far west? Where did you picked up this theme?

    FYI, I do a lot of ecolines too, (but I don’t like pastels) and soon, in spring I start growing my vegetables :D.
    Anyway, time for my ‘moka’…

  1443. ZaPaTa says:

    Take a look here:
    http://www.000webhost.com/

    I host some smaller sites there, it had been sometimes unreliable (sites down for a couple of hours, nothing very serious) but they made it work as fast as possible after each time I’ve mailed them.

    Only thing is, I think the hosting for free might be too small?

  1444. JippiJaYeah says:

    Normally i can host the site, but i really don’t know if i could do it over 24/7 h over 2 years continuously.

    So, in the past, i got a paid hosting service (http://www.homepage-hoster.de/) 2,99e for 5Gb or 4,59€ for 25GB.

  1445. JesseJames says:

    I don’t know a lot about servers, but paid server is no option!
    So for me it’s the same, which server we choose.

  1446. Biondo says:

    At this point, better a slow server than no server at all. If Jippi thinks he can host the site (at least for 2 years, I suppose) I vote for this solution. He has shown that he keeps care of the site: when he found a way to forward new posts/comments to Sarah and Slowly, when he solved the problem with Captcha during my absence, with Google stats, and so on.

    Jippi, what do you think?

  1447. Biondo says:

    Hi, update about server migration.

    Mercurius doesn’t answer to my emails since weeks (months maybe). Sape talked to him but this didn’t help.

    We have to choose a different solution:

    1– Jippi’s slow server (if Jippi is still of the idea of hosting the site)

    2– another free hosting service (I think Zapata has something to suggest)

    3– go to a paid hosting service

    As I don’t want to pay all life long, we have to choose between 1 and 2.

    Thank you Sape, I know that you made all your best, but Mercurius is totally unaffordable. I wouldn’t migrate to his server also when he’d answer tomorrow.

  1448. Biondo says:

    Yes, thanks Jippi.
    The forum is talking about the matter since days: http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?t=3009

    But we had already predicted the problem, including server addresses in our FAQ: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/faq/my-server-list-is-empty-how-can-i-connect-to-a-server-now/ (though maybe it’s not up to date. Tomorrow I’ll update it and add a link to SG Forum thread).

    🙂

  1449. Slowly John says:

    thx jippi!

  1450. Slowly John says:

    hello friends, what for a fun!!! i have with frank and a player named “corrupto” (or so?) played at lake, it is realy nice to start with the lovely winni! big thx to thedoctor for the fine option!

  1451. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: wow, thx for your quick & good help!!!!! it run 🙂

  1452. Biondo says:

    there are some problems lately with master servers (those that update your client list).

    212.65.13.87:27962 [SG1.1b4, cl_allowdownload 1] Terra Nova

  1453. Slowly John says:

    very good! but where is the terra-nova-server? i can not find him in my monster browser. is he online, has he a new adress?

  1454. JesseJames says:

    Great news, good lobbywork Biondo :).

    Indeed it is Jezus in Lake (maybe he is born their? :).

  1455. JippiJaYeah says:

    So, we don’t need to buy a winchester?

  1456. Mope says:

    Poor Indian! Looks like he’s trying to surrender.

  1457. ZaPaTa says:

    Thanks guys, loving the series!!! Great you all picked up the line of interview with such an enthusiasm (sorry I start to sound whole father-ish 😀 ) Will read it soon, promise! Very intriguing.

    Anyone ever thought about it: Biondo might be two persons!? …Kidding

  1458. JesseJames says:

    Indeed very nice interview how did you do that with 2 interviewers?

    Very interesting also, and what is more italian than pasta? :p
    Btw very nice city is Padua, lovely houses.
    Good Job guys!

    • Biondo says:

      2 interviewers? When SAPE told me we wanted interview me, I already had 1/2 promised it to Mope. So I told him, they could do it together.

      Thank you, Jesse!

  1459. Slowly John says:

    thank you both for this really really nice interview and for the recipe!

  1460. Biondo says:

    Thanks to you Mope! And thanks Sape! It has been a difficult birth, but in the end here is the baby.

  1461. Mope says:

    Yooohooo! It’s finally completed! Thanks, Biondo! Thanx, Sape! I admit, I’ve learned lot of new facts about your life, Biondo, it’s very important and intriguing as well!

  1462. Slowly John says:

    haha, that was a funny playing!! no money, but a
    good sound like real life, with very comic situations.
    but i think, strong rules, make sometimes fun.

    ok, i was hoping that there is some kind of sniper game,
    calm, focused, with me and my winnie in the lonely
    wide landscape and dear enemies, far at horizon…
    …but dear friends, that was a royal rumble in the square.
    😀 😀 😀

    it was a little bit pitty, that later the server was down.
    later i have little problems to connect and much later
    i was to tired to come back.

    BUT: “THAT WAS FUN”!!!!
    big thx at all players for the fantastic “indish” pooh-day!!!
    😀 😀 😀
    greetings from tigger

  1463. JesseJames says:

    Hehe also my picmic 0 was very strange (normally I play with 5 or 6)

  1464. SAPE says:

    It was very good and fun game.
    I played with normal settings (without my specific) without headphone. (I played on one of my friend’s PC)
    Thanx the games. GG all.

  1465. ZaPaTa says:

    Yep, I mend ‘Winnie’ 1897, that’s why my original comment was about the cost of the gun 🙂
    I don’t like the 1866, I like the ‘pumpgun’ (great sound…too…) Anyway, had tones of fun today, nice quotes too 😀
    Hilarious games; I love the one ‘Pigeons ruins the world’…That’s why they’re LAME, buddies! Cheers & thanks for the evening. Missed Wiskey though…

  1466. Biondo says:

    Zapa, what did you mean when you said “these are the wrong winnies”. Do you like Winchester 1866 or Winchester 1897?

    Anyway Winchester 1897 costs too much, $33.00.

    Ior is the slowly donkey, always depressed,etc. 🙂 (in dutch they called him ior don’t know in the other languages.
    I liked the games, totally chaos everyone was running jumping without winnies. And one guy with a winnie was hunting on the rest. Very nice game!

    But i’am so bad with that winnie 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      “totally chaos everyone was running jumping without winnies” … OMG, I still can’t stop laughing, I have tears in my eyes reading the comments 🙂

      Ok, now I know what Ior is, in Italy he is IhOh (or something like that) and in English he was Eeyore.

  1468. Biondo says:

    *LAME*The quick green f: was funny with winnie

  1469. JippiJaYeah says:

    >>but consider that I donated as present 3 (I say 3) Winchesters to the players.
    One of theme wasn’t reloaded -not a nice present. 😉

  1470. Biondo says:

    It was a totally mad game.
    We had some problems, in the beginning: I had no “Lake” in my callvote menu, but Jippi had it and he was able to change map. But I couldn’t see your actual model so no chance to say if you were an indian or a Union soldier. Ok, we abandoned TDM and switched to DM.

    TheQuick green = Jippie
    ThePooh = Biondo
    Tigger = Slowly John
    Pidgeon = Zapata
    Speedy ior (hmm… Speedy ior?? What is a speedy ior?) = Jesse James
    sape = sape
    mope = mope
    a.k47 = a.k47 (thanks for joining!)

    First game: Jippi was outstanding, as always.
    Second game: surprise! a.k47 won (nice a.kl!). I had one of my worst performances, but consider that I donated as present 3 (I say 3) Winchesters to the players. 🙂

    Here are the screenshots:

    Overall, fun game, but totally crazy. Not sure if I liked it, but maybe another try… with more experience, in Lake, could give us more fun.

  1471. Biondo says:

    OK, meet there at 21:00 (22:00 for Israel and Finland, I suppose).

  1472. Sarah says:

    I don’t think I will be able to join you in time, I have to work on an assignment. I might play later on tonight, have fun 🙂

  1473. SAPE says:

    I am in. Cu brothers. Very good idea Biondo.

  1474. JesseJames says:

    My name Speedy Gonzales 😉

  1475. Biondo says:

    For one time, everybody should play with r_picmip 0 (me included), so nobody gets an “illegal” advantage among the trees.

    And I propose also to change your name to something more suitable for the theme, like rabbit, boar, elk, Duffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, …
    I’ll keep ThePooh for me, and SAPE could use his well-known TheBeast 🙂

  1476. JesseJames says:

    Lovely game, I had the costumes of AC Milan, and Inter 🙂

  1477. JesseJames says:

    I’am present 🙂 Great idea!

  1478. ZaPaTa says:

    Love the idea too! I’m in. Only one problem: what if all weapons except winnie are forbidden? If one gets respawned you have no money…so you just walk around then in search of money, like a young rabbit in spring? until A. you get shot or B. you got enough money for a winnie…?

    • Biondo says:

      Yes exactly! It’s a new kind of game: being hunted 😀

      As I said, if we play a TDM, your team can cover you until you find the money or an abandoned winnie of dead player.
      Moreover, when a player has enough money to buy another winnie, he can present the old one to a pardner.

      Don’t forget that in Lake there are many small amounts of money along its periphery, there is money on the bottom of the lake, there are big amounts of money in the underground fort, and maybe in the house.

      • ZaPaTa says:

        Yeah, you’re right, it’s a TDM…so you got a team covering you up. Strange 😀

  1479. Slowly John says:

    ohhh yesss, what for a realy nice idea Biondo!!! the lake-map have a lovely little wood-lodge like in yukon… 🙂

  1480. Biondo says:

    Ah ah, Subuteo 🙂 It was quite popular in Italy long time ago 🙂

  1481. JesseJames says:

    Hmm don’t forget that we made our own games ZaPa in the past. 🙂
    We play a lot of games, we have also games with the theme of th Middle Ages (Borgia, …).
    I loke also sport games, I played a lot cyclinggames (the tour the france,Nordern classics,…) Also Subuteo a vintage football game with players. Lovely game but not a boardgame.

  1482. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: thx, nice link 🙂

  1483. SAPE says:

    R.I.P. RAWHIDE

  1484. JesseJames says:

    Indeed thanks for running this server for years (7 years is a very long period for a server) and yes, I didn’t play a lot on the server because bad ping.

  1485. Slowly John says:

    …it is pitty, but the run of things

    ::: R.I.P RAWHIDE :::

    @Biondo: nice grafic, – like a movie outro

  1486. Mope says:

    Great interview. Thank you Biondo and Zapata, both. Much to learn, very interesting sides revealed and themes touched here. Classic.

    Zapata, I want an expansion on the board games theme: can you tell about your favorite ones?

    As to the possible Ark’s fate at Ethiopia, I’ve seen some nice film at TopDocumentaryFilms: Queen Of Sheba: Behind the Myth . Suggest it for you, very interesting.

    • ZaPaTa says:

      Looks like a nice docu, Mope! A bit controversial, I notice in the comments, but that’s always a good thing. Kicking up some dust 🙂

      Allright Boardgames. Well, There is this very usefull site BoardGameGeek with every single boardgame I own in its catalogue.
      I’m a fan of all sorts of boardgames, but I prefer some with a basic, yet solid mechanic and a nice storyline, preferable a historical setting. I’m not a diehard Wargamer, yet I’m a fan of the GMT publisher.
      I got some boxes of themn I consider them my favourites: Hellenes, Wilderness War (heavy one: Canadian indians alongside the Frech fighting an ambush war against the British!), Command & Colors: ‘Ancients’ (just bought my 2nd expansion). But I also play and collect others, recently played ‘Tournay’ and liked it very much.

      A friend of my has a game with a western-theme, Carson City, but we didn’t played it so far.

      Have fun exploring that site if you didn’t know ’em. You like boardgames Mope?

      • Mope says:

        Nice to see that field of board games is thriving and developing, in spite of PC-gaming. No, recently I’m not playing boardgames, but I remember it was a great pleasure in my childhood. I was also making myself complex and weird versions of Monopoly, and different fantasy and strategy games to play with my friends.

        • ZaPaTa says:

          OK, well, give it a try again! There are a lot of challenging games out there for adults. It’s a common mistake playing is something for kids 😉
          Yeah, monopoly…That’s the reason why JJ and I invented our own games. Monopoly was just hopeless. Still is, I believe

  1487. JesseJames says:

    Hehe but very nice interview, nice questions Biondo.

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you, Jesse. But nice answers, I have to say! 🙂
      And the recipe seems tasty, I will try it some day.

  1488. ZaPaTa says:

    Hey, Thanks all
    @Jesse; it’s peanuts buta damn nice recipe!
    @Biondo; I noticed the coffee gets better and better by using it more. First time I tought ‘Yek! bad coffee :)’. I’ll mix it with a spoon first now, good advice!

    Yeah, nice interview too. Glad we have another one into the collection.

  1489. Biondo says:

    Hey, Zapa, about your new Italian coffee maker (here it’s called moka) I have some advices for best use:

    – You’ll have to use it for some weeks before you can get a good coffee. When just bought, it gives a flavour of aluminum to the infusion. The more you use it, the best the flavour becomes.
    – Never wash it with detergent, use just running water. And never ever put it in a dishwasher. Clean the filter with great care to leave no residue and deposits.
    – It should be used with finely ground coffee. This way the infusion you get is more flavoured and stronger than a typical central Europe coffee (so don’t abuse drinking Italian coffee!)
    – The correct doses: fill the boiler without exceeding the level of the valve and fill the filter completely avoiding tamped coffee.
    – Keep the flame low. The slower the boil, the better the coffee and without risk of burning the seal.
    – Before serving the coffee, mix it with a spoon in the coffee maker for a uniform density.

  1490. GREYMAN says:

    Very nice work Zap and Biondo! Thank you. 🙂

  1491. JesseJames says:

    Hah I learn things from my brother :p
    Btw zapa can you don’t find a better typical recipe? :p

    • Biondo says:

      @Jesse: Hehe, you have an opportunity here, you can post more questions to your brother, so you’ll know him better 😉

      Besides jokes, it was a nice interview! Zapata answered honestly and we got the time to talk together in Google Documents, e-mails, Jabber.

      But this was not only an interview about him, it was also an interview about our clan. I could had never joined a clan different from *LAME*.

      So if you have any more questions to ask Zapata, post them here.

  1492. SAPE says:

    Very good work Cowboys. Congratulations!
    ….”go on a walk in the forest together”…… It is not impossible in the future I think. Maybe we would make a clan meeting, when our clan will be five years old. 🙂

  1493. Slowly John says:

    thank you for this very nice & interesting interview!!

  1494. ZaPaTa says:

    Right, demos, good enough 🙂 Hope you to had a nice time, and I believe this is a nice list of ‘invites’, since it all had to go pretty fast. Hope you too had a great time.

    But boy, what a stupid story. I’m moving heaven and earth, since i couldn’t play in the evening, to keep 2 hours free in the late afternoon (5pm-7pm) so I can at least play a bit on our birthday.
    Naturally, Murphy, right then comes a mate by to help me replacing some of my lights in my house. Well, we try hanging them as fast as possible, but LOOK, more Murphy! By trying to fast we made a mistake, my mate slips out, I fall with him, breaking the glass in the lamp, a piece straight in my hand. So there I am, no lamp at all and no serious birthdaygame :(.

    Damn You Murphy

  1496. JesseJames says:

    Thanks all for this great day, sometimes we played with 6 at the same time. I had great moments in the bar in hang em high :p
    Hope you had also a great time. 🙂 It’s a pity that i could not play this late evening.

  1497. JesseJames says:

    Thanks V and @spi

  1498. JesseJames says:

    Hmm how long can this story continue, every month you donate that’s not the intention. Thanks for this, but have anyone something heard from mercurius?

    Happy Bday, sorry that i can’t play this evening, social network,etc. But it was fun this morning, evening, afternoon and maybe after 11 pm.

    • Biondo says:

      It’s not my intention too. I want to give a last chance to Mercurius, as it seems now he is ready to help.

  1499. @spi says:

    coooool ……. nothing more to say than :

    GO ON LAME ! MAKE YOUR WAY !

    best regards
    @spi

  1500. Biondo says:

    Thanks to you and all ~V~ clan!

  1501. ~V~sqn says:

    Heppy BirthDay LAME !!!

    Best Regards From ~V~ Clan

    Good Luck In Future

  1502. Biondo says:

    Another small present for clan’s birthday.
    Altervista continues sucking euros.
    Mysteriously we had filled 92,2% of available space. With € 10,00 now we fill 46,1%. We should have more than 500MB free (available) now.
    How long will they last??? 🙁

    Happy BDay mates!

  1503. JesseJames says:

    Nice it’s very cool to see us all over the world (only central africa and asia are a bit less).

  1504. Slowly John says:

    wow, very interesting, thx jippi!

  1505. SAPE says:

    And there are much visitors from Texas. I think it is great! 🙂

  1506. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice post. Look, were getting big in Alaska!
    Mope’s pretty much isolated in the middle-East 🙂

  1507. Biondo says:

    Eh eh, nice shot!

  1508. JippiJaYeah says:

    The *LAME* World becomes green.

  1509. JippiJaYeah says:

    SAPE you are right with your intention. Sarah asking him yesterday directly why he use the name Frank. He said, he want to become attention.

  1510. JesseJames says:

    tnx a.k47 and @spi and Barto for the congratulations.

  1511. Biondo says:

    I’m going to sleep but I want to share with you the last thing I see on my monitor before halting the PC: a long series of BDAY*LAME*.

    Happy B-day lames!

    Click image for full size 🙂

  1512. a.k47 says:

    Happy Birthday *Lame* clan…nice to see, that some clans are on the right way to become history(meanwhile you became history==>one year, more than most of other clans exist together;)

    Hope to see you in game soon.

    best regards from a.k47:)

  1513. Biondo says:

    Speaking as a clan member: Thanks @spi, your presence here was awaited and really well welcomed! I think that without BB (its rules, its administrators, its anti-cheat system, and of course without the one who put his face to let it exist), our clan couldn’t exist.

    Speaking for myself: I’m really moved by your words (though I know that I’m nothing without a teacher like Doc).

    I’d need a beer too, but I’ve just wine at home 🙂

  1514. Biondo says:

    At first I thought that Frank changed his name, but next I realized he wasn’t Frank.

    Looking at BB database there is no way to be sure that he is Stone. He changed all his data, and his provider is shared with a lot of other players, so it’s not a proof. In my opinion he probably is Stone (nice intuition Sape!), but there is no proof. That’s all 🙂

    Have fun, and don’t think about Stone.

  1515. @spi says:

    congratulations to Jesse James/ZaPaTa and to all other LAMERS

    one year with honest and fair playing, realy sympatic guys !
    you build up a project, and its like always, start up is hard, but now
    LAME is in my honest opinion the LEADING CLAN in the SG scene !
    (not cause of the special relation between BB Team and LAME, caused of realy trustfull members !)

    Well done !

    i remember if i start with BB, just for fun and i was alone in the dark.
    then i meet doc and every thing changes. any time doc tells me about
    a guy from italy, named biondo, and we go the next step forward.

    today i see our enviroment, and i thought … omg i do not expect
    such a history and grown project if i setup a simple SG Server called

    BALLER BUDE 🙂

    kind regards, and cheers …. i need a beer 🙂

    @spi

  1516. Barto says:

    Let’s find a good event to send my first comment in this awesome website.

    Happy birthday guys, one year is a lot bigger than the small 1-2 months clans. It shows that you are some serious guys there. One year is also, in my opinion, just a start. 🙂

    Maybe you were lame on year ago (we all were lame when we started to play), but now you are some really competitive players. It’s always a tons of fun to play against you. You are not like a load of players here that are upset to get killed. Your politeness is like your skill: perfect!

    I have only one advice for you guys: See you in one year 🙂

    -Barto

    • Biondo says:

      We are still Lame, Barto 🙂
      Hehe, thanks for your comment, really well welcomed. See you here next year, same day, same hour 😉

  1517. Slowly John says:

    Thanx Biondo!

  1518. Slowly John says:

    Happy Birthday LAME Clan!

    @Biondo: very nice graphic!!!
    @Jesse James and ZaPaTa: THX for founding and the entry!!!

  1519. JippiJaYeah says:

    I ask him if frank alias stone alias star, right.
    He denied. But he has the same telcom as stone.

    This is stone, his answers are the same as always.

    His last as stoner ip: 92.24.176.216 AS13285 opal Tel
    New as frank ip: 2.101.13.177 AS13285 opal Tel

  1520. SAPE says:

    I played against him in the afternoon. I said him after maybe ten minutes: “Welcome back Stone.”
    He said: “Stone? Who is he? And is Stone a good player?”
    😀
    @Biondo: I don’t know your possibility. Can you check his IP?

  1521. Sarah says:

    Ha Ha.

    Yes I was speaking to my Dad after the game and he put all the things together and said it is probably stone.

    I actually thought Frank had changed his name at first 🙂

  1522. Sarah says:

    Happy Birthday LAME Clan 🙂

    Thank you for wanting me to join the clan. In the beginning I was not interested in joining a clan and I think I declined your offer the first time. Now I am really pleased I’m a LAME member and enjoy playing with you all on Thursday’s. I also like reading on the website which looks very good.

    I’m looking forward to this year with the clan

    Thanks 🙂

  1523. SAPE says:

    Bingo!!!!!!!! 😀

  1524. JesseJames says:

    @sape and he was very friendly to Sarah 😉

  1525. JesseJames says:

    Hmmm loner alias stone alias,… :p

  1526. SAPE says:

    Happy B-day LAME clan. Thanx Zap and Jesse. 🙂

  1527. Biondo says:

    I tried to change my name while playing, but it was too long and it had been cut “BDAY*LAME*Bion” 🙂

    Changing it directly in q3config.cfg it worked.

    @Jesse: I think you experienced the same limit/problem.

  1528. Wiskey says:

    Lame clan was one of the few clans which may involve even without being a very good player. In addition, many of the other clans that I would need to play every day. This clan does not matter if you both do not even have a game every day, or is not a very good player, it is based on the ability to grow.

  1529. JesseJames says:

    Jep it looks pretty without the red B it’s too blue (that was the meaning of Jippi and sape this morning)

  1530. JesseJames says:

    I used the red B and blue DAY*LAME*
    Is that good or did you find anything betters?

  1531. SAPE says:

    Jesse, I see you made the “birthday prefix”. What are the colors finally?

  1532. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Biondo 🙂
    and btw very nice graphic

  1533. Biondo says:

    Thanks to you mates! No matter who joined the clan and when, it’s your merit (of you, JesseJames and ZaPaTa) if our clan has grown along such an original way.

    Happy Birthday, *LAME* and long live!

  1534. JesseJames says:

    Indeed great work Biondo. 🙂

  1535. JesseJames says:

    Haha biondo don’t forget our first rules 😉

  1536. Biondo says:

    I talked to TheDoctor about making Lake a Winchester1866-only map. He seems interested in the proposal. And I was sure of this, since the first idea to use Lake as a rifle-only map was expressed by him long time ago.

    Maybe next week we’ll have a Winchester1866-only Lake or rifles-only Lake, where we can play our clan deathmatch.

    Nice.

    Hmm… I remember one clan member that loves Winchester… But I don’t want to anticipate what will be published soon 😉

  1537. Wiskey says:

    Zapata, are you invited also Styx-clan?

  1538. JesseJames says:

    Very nice guys, on facebook I can post something in the Circus Maximusforum.
    Their are clanmembers of a few clans and other good players.

    I’am ready to goooooo!!!!!

  1539. Slowly John says:

    yeah this is it, …i am looking forward on pure winchester
    hunting, arround the trees like in yukon 😀

  1540. Biondo says:

    I know the ideal map in Terra Nova for playing with Winchester: Lake! Full of money, and it will seem like a hunting the woods 🙂

  1541. Slowly John says:

    ah, thx Biondo, no problem, the winchester is not so expensive 🙂 . “dry gulch” is one of my favorite maps

  1542. Biondo says:

    It seems that our FAQ are appreciated by NuB clan 🙂

    Read here:
    “I just found a very professional made FAQ on the *LAME* Clan’s website.
    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/test-for-a-faq-page/
    Check it out, it could be very helpful for newbies as well as for older players.”
    [A nice FAQ: http://sg-nub-clan.de.tl/A-nice-FAQ.htm ]

    Wow! … “very professional”, said by a NuB is a big compliment!

    • ZaPaTa says:

      Hell Yeah! Nice to see, indeed. I also appreciate the FAQ and I think it’s valuable for the clan and our site (It brings visitors 😉

    • SAPE says:

      Nice. This is your merit Biondo. Thanx.

  1543. SAPE says:

    I will be there maybe all day long with pauses.

  1544. Wiskey says:

    Sorry guys, I can come to play until after seven, and I can play with up to 9.

  1545. ZaPaTa says:

    http://sg-clan-sti.blogspot.com/
    here’s a nice list of clans to invite;
    XOP
    Bacon
    RP
    Nub
    Fail
    =BB=?
    LG?

    others?

    • Biondo says:

      Hmm… considering that STI and BB clans have cheaters inside, I wouldn’t invite them, but of course you decide.

      I would like to invite RUS clan, but I don’t know if they have a site.
      NoX also is a great clan, though they rarely play nowadays.

    OK lets think again. I seem to be one of the only lame’ers that can join so early. And a lot of us are not sure if they can play for a long time. You know what would be lame? : announcing our Birthday party and no one of the LAME’s playing at that time in BB. So, Pitfall.
    We should avoid this. I can’t send out an invite if no one can effectively join of us.

    So maybe I should announce something like:
    Lameclan excist one year, we would like to celebrate it by uniting a lot of clans in BB, to play with us and against each other. We hope to welcome you (other clans) all. Some LAME’ers will be there kicking off at 6pm but LAME will play frequently during the whole evening. Hope to meet a lot of … (Here comes name of the clan) there!

    What do you think, does this enlarge the concept a bit and avoid the pitfall of us being absent from time to time in the evening?

    • Biondo says:

      It’s OK.
      Maybe I was misunderstood when I said I couldn’t play more that 3 games… I was meaning “3 games in a row”.
      But sure I’ll be there at 6 PM or before and I’ll play (with pauses) until about 11 PM.

      If real life is against us, and some Lames will not be there, no problem for me. It’s real life, ZaPaTa!

      • ZaPaTa says:

        Yep didn’t get you there Biondo, and thanks for understanding. No STI of course, and no =BB=, OK!

  1547. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: oooh yessss it is very funny, i would follow you
    with my winchester and the loud reverb noice 😀

    …and i love your new Banner and Trinity 🙂
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vzmdkPf3-0

    @ZaPaTa: we can take the map with more and easier
    money…
    or maybe much better, the server enabled the option:
    “weapon winchester first” like on steamboat (the sawed-off).
    maybe activated only on a good wide open special-map
    “dry-gulch” or “fort” or so…

    • Biondo says:

      It’s not possible to have a modified server (respawn with Winchester) just for us. I also think that in Baller Fort and Dry Gulch have enough money. But I can’t really say which map has enough money points in Terra Nova.

  1548. Sarah says:

    Biondo the birthday banner is very good 🙂

    I wont be able to play that early on Friday. I’m an hour behind most of you so I wont be home until half 6.

    I will try my best to leave a bit early, sorry.

  1549. Biondo says:

    So we don’t have to miss the party!
    Trying to summarize what we have to do:

    1 — Publish a post in SG Forum
    2 — Publish a post here (I can add a graphic if you want. The same graphic displayed now in our banner, “1 year and counting…”)
    3 — Leave a comment about the anniversary on friends’ sites (at least in XOP clan site)
    4 — Change our prefix to BDAY*LAME* (I suppose that “BDAY” and “LAME” should be blue coloured, the asterisks -the stars- red coloured)
    5 — Play the more that we can in BallerBude, in the evening since afternoon (5 PM)
    6 — Be friendly with all. Don’t look for a good score, just look for fun.

    Points 1, 2 and 3 should be done by Zapata and Jesse, as they are the founders. I can’t do them.

    Am I right?

  1550. ZaPaTa says:

    OK, but just a prefix and us assembled in BB on a certain hour? I meant 5pm. But is this enough to celebrate? (And of course a post here and the SG forum)

  1551. SAPE says:

    Biondo, I see you banned a cheater, “Bigboy”. What type of cheat did he use?

    • Biondo says:

      Aimbot. He was able to connect again using a different provider.
      Aimbot. And he was exposed by another aimbotter 🙂 Strange the life!
      Of course he didn’t use aimbot in Baller, where it’s impossible.

  1552. JesseJames says:

    WOW 200 000 in 1 year, incredible,…
    respect!

    Indeed nice prefix ZaPa, and yes also for me early in the evening I can play a lot 🙂

  1553. ZaPaTa says:

    Doesn’t matter when but indeed, you have to have a little money. So that’s a problem when you respawn. But it would be an honor to play with *LAME* and Winnies 😀

    • Biondo says:

      It’s not a problem, you look for money around or if you have luck you find a Winchester on your way. 🙂

  1554. ZaPaTa says:

    Some of us can make it on friday? If so, and we are with enough members we can maybe play a little marathon? I was thinking on five DM in BB? A public *LAME* raid on BB…Who’s in? It can be in the early eveing (around 5o’clock perhaps?)
    BDAY*LAME*, would that make a nice prefix?

    cheers,
    Zap

    Nice SAPE as the Harmonica…A Hungarian Harmonica 🙂

  1555. GREYMAN says:

    Very GOOD!!! Thanks Biondo!!! 😀 😀 😀

  1556. Wiskey says:

    Maybe I will be in there in Friday. Good banner Biondo. Do you know why Rawhide is shutting? I remember when I played sometimes BR in Rawhide, I have good memories from it.

    • Biondo says:

      ReDNeckerson, after 7 years running Rawhide, decided he was tired to pay a lot of money (more than $ 200,00/year for what I know) for the server. Last year was paid by The Hoss, but now the contract expires. I understand them very well.

  1557. JesseJames says:

    haah indeed a special birthday game 🙂

  1558. SAPE says:

    Good idea. I am in. 🙂

  1559. Biondo says:

    Hehe, about 2 weeks ago I proposed a game only-Winchester-1866 in BallerBude, but almost nobody followed me when they realized that after a respawn they needed money to buy a Winchester. I continued with my Winnie until the end of the game, but getting a bad score, as you can imagine. 🙂

    It would be fun, one of the next Thursdays, to play a Wichester1866-only clan deathmatch!

  1560. Slowly John says:

    hm, for me is that easy, because i am to slow for changing
    my weapons often today. so i use the first time the
    Remington 12 together with the schofield. and if i have
    more Money and a little bit time to change, then two
    schofields, because i love the quick loading of the schofields.

    with three little exceptions:
    1. is the map like the train, i use (if i can) the sawed-
    off, she is quicker loading as the gauge. but i am a real
    fan from the gauge, i like her erotic shape and beautiful
    thriller-noise… KNICK KNACK 😀
    2. if i am confuse, because to many good players are here
    and the map is branches, cluttered and small, then i
    use the dynamite, – maybe without a low winning chance,
    but with a lot of fun 🙂 . especially when the players
    after a detonation fly to me… 😀
    3. i test other weapons, alone with the bots

    …a few months ago (maybe a year), i played on paladin-
    server with other players. the rule, all players only with
    the winchester 1866. that was very funny, a realy good
    play-balance between all players and a crazy noise
    atmosphere on the place… the reverb and so on, realy
    funny like the movie-duell from the magnific seven.
    (i remember, sometimes we has the high-jump-option
    enabled on this server, very funny)

    @Biondo: thx for the very nice picture 🙂

  1561. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: cooool 😀

  1562. Biondo says:

    Thank to all for comments about birthday banner!

    [Click on image for full size].

  1563. Slowly John says:

    Happy Birthday Lame-Clan!

    …maybe i can not come at friday, because i go on evening to a bowling-party. but if i go earlier at home, then i go online for the game. i wish many fun for all!!

    @biondo: beautiful banner, very nice composition!

  1564. SAPE says:

    Nice new design Biondo. 🙂

    R.I.P. Rawhide 🙁

  1565. JesseJames says:

    That is a pity ,again a server is gone 🙁

  1566. Biondo says:

    Of course also a post in this blog will be necessary.

    On the 27th of January there is also the opportunity to play with RedNeckerson in Rawhide, for his last game in that server (time 6:00 PM EST, that means … hmm… 24:00 CET?? …I will be asleep for that time): http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?p=22866#22866

    The Rawhide game server will be shutting down 1/29/2012. R.I.P.

  1567. JesseJames says:

    I will look in my free day thursday to post something on the forum, maybe with ZaPa.

  1568. GREYMAN says:

    Good idea! I be there Friday.
    Happy Birthday LAME CLAN!!!! 🙂 😀

  1569. Biondo says:

    BTW, Jippi, why do you play with a white prefix?

    Our prefix is like a logo, and it’ made of UPPERCASE/lowercase characters, of asterisks, of recognizable colours (blue and red), it’s our Trademark, it’s our Copyright.

    Playing with a different logo, you are encouraging every player to fake a *LAME* clan membership. And I’ve already seen another member of the clan playing with a differently formatted logo/prefix.
    We know that you are an outsider, but I don’t like this new fashion. You had time to change your colours (I asked you about your new pale colours many times during last week, at the risk of being annoying).
    Do what you want, but I think you haven’t understood the importance of our *LAME* prefix.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      @Biondo: Ok, thanks for the hints, i will take more time to edit my name, when my config file is next time crashing again.

      • Biondo says:

        Hmm… Do you think that our prefix could be the cause of the crashes? Why?

        • JippiJaYeah says:

          No, the prefix isn’t the problem. But when SG crashed my config is gone or i got the setup config. I think, i have to copy my config for that problem, so i don’t have to write every time my config settings.

          • Biondo says:

            @Jippi: this is the reason why I take all important settings in a separate file. You can do it too:

            – create a file jippi.cfg in the same directory of your q3config.cfg
            – launch SG with a command like “smokinguns.i386 +exec jippi” (this time, without file extension).

            Alternatively you can exec the file from SG console when you open the game; just issue the command “\exec jippi”.

          • JippiJaYeah says:

            Thank you Biondo, that is what i need. 🙂

  1570. Biondo says:

    @Zapa: the idea of a custom prefix is good. We have a limited number of characters. Maybe, we can try: *LAME-4-1-YEAR* (Lame for one year), hehe.

    A post published in SG forum would be great. But I leave it to you (Zapata) and to Jesse, the founders.

    @Jesse: “famous guys and girls”… thanks to Sape and Greyman that opened our eyes on the “Heroes of the Wild West”.

  1571. JesseJames says:

    Wow i see for the first time the banner, great 🙂 With all the “famous” guys and girls.

  1572. ZaPaTa says:

    Friday is OK, as long as it’s in the day. In the evening it might be harder to join for me.
    I too have been thinking on a good way to celebrate. I like the idea of a public Clan-fight 🙂 But will it be different enough of us, just playing in BB? Maybe we can change our *LAME* prefix and p bind for fun to something funny ? Just thinking out loud.

    Nice artwork Biondo, great banner too. I’ll keep on thinking.
    And yeah, A year goes fast 🙂

  1573. SAPE says:

    I suggest 2 matches in BB, and 1 (or 2) bonus matches in SB. It would be fun. 🙂

  1574. JesseJames says:

    Indeed I think that it’s a good idea to play it in our homeserver BallerBude. Friday is my second day of vacation after the examens, so i can play a lot 😀

    First year, what goes the time fast,…

  1575. JesseJames says:

    hah my father/mother are a great fan of Allisan Krauss. Didn’t know that George Clooney could sing so good. 🙂

    I’am just discover tons of great cd’s of the 70’s, 80’s (for zapa and my party 🙂 )

    (O brother, where art thou? (2000))

    • Biondo says:

      Really pleasurable piece. Good orchestration, with those surprising violin’s and banjo’s inserts.

  1577. Sarah says:

    Yeah I can imagine it being fun, I’m a woman so I am a bit nosy 🙂

  1578. Sarah says:

    @Biondo: Oh yeah I remember now, thanks.

    It’s so good how you can see what everyone writes on BB 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Yes it’s good, and also fun for me. 🙂 As an admin, I can read everything is said in Baller in real time (also when I’m not in game), or read it the day after (or when I want).

      Keep me informed if Desperado-Mexicano has learned how to behave himself or not.

  1579. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hi Biondo,

    can you please banned *LG*Daber for always insulting me.
    This was not first time. It’s german insulting, but you can believe me.

      I wouldn’t like to mix too much my public role (BB’s admin) with my private role (*LAME* member and SG player), but sometimes this is inevitable…

      Daber is a well known offensive player, that hurts BallerBude fame, temporary banned from Baller (and other servers) many many times, so no problem to ban him again.

      I’ve banned him from Baller for 2 months.

      BTW, my wife is a teacher of German language, and she was so kind to translate the dump from German language for me 😉

      Thanks for the alert, Jippi.

      @Sarah: looking at logs, I’ve seen that Desperado-Mexicano used a brutal sexist language while you were playing. I’ve muted him for 3 days, but if he’ll insist insulting I’ll take more drastic measures.

  1580. GREYMAN says:

    Ok Wiskey! I wish you good job.
    My work is too time consuming. I understand you.
    I see you in the game, if possible. 🙂

  1581. ZaPaTa says:

    Okway, I’ll look forward to have you with us of course, but in the meantime, have fun with your job! Thanks for letting us know.

  1582. GREYMAN says:

    Yep! His good with dynamite! i think this is usefull later in the clan.
    I played with him yesterday night. Hi talked not about his joining-application. 🙂

  1583. JesseJames says:

    Ok if he play more in BB in the future and plays with guns and he is friendly, maybe that we look again if he can join us, but on this moment i think not.

    It’s good of you biondo that you will have new members, if anyone has other players, just say it. 🙂

  1584. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    Piff-Paff: not so good player, but it is not so important. But if you see the BB stat, you can see his favorite weapon is dynamite (155 kill of 567 total kill)….
    I vote against Piff-Paff.

  1585. Wiskey says:

    Piff-Paff play more Jeux Linux, he is not the best but he is friendly.

  1586. Biondo says:

    OK, at risk of contradicting myself: I see that he is not a well known player. So I retire my vote. I vote against him.

    I had been too impulsive, sorry. I like him, but this is not enough.

  1587. Sarah says:

    Yeah i thought he would post on the site, I should have mentioned it to you.

    This was the only time I remember him playing and he did not play with me for very long so I do not know him.

  1588. JesseJames says:

    Ah ok it’s a fault in the stats or something?

    I will check him in the future OK, and yes we choose the guys.

    • Biondo says:

      I don’t think it’s a fault in stats. It’s possible that he tried to get Pitbull name in past times. I also tried to fake a different player when I was a newbie, just to see how the game works.

    • Biondo says:

      BTW, I’d never had proposed Pitbull as a clan member. He occupies the second place (after the_ugly) in the stats of more offensive players in BB 😉

  1589. Biondo says:

    He has nothing to do with Guns Pitbull.

  1590. JesseJames says:

    edit: see just that his nickname is Guns Pitbull I think this is a mistake?
    I see also that he don’t play much in BB maybe other servers, last month he played for an hour, that is not so much but if he played in other servers is it an other thing.

    I see that I played one time with him. 9 kills for me and 6 for him.

  1591. JesseJames says:

    Hmm you said that he started a clan today?
    I don’t know him, don’t think I ever played with him (or he was a bit “invisible” maybe it”s because he is clean and don’t say a wrong word.

    First I will play with him in game, than I can say yes or no. Did you said he must be write a mail to me? For his email adress and a few things about him. Or was it in game?

    • Biondo says:

      Piff-Paff plays since log time, Jesse. But he doesn’t play frequently.
      Still it’s strange that you haven’t met him.

      I didn’t answered to him personally, because I wasn’t playing. He talked to Sarah, I just know it from BB logs (this is part of my work as a BB administrator).

      About writing emails: I thought we had abandoned that practice. I thought we had decided that WE choose clan members, and not hat THEY choose us.

      I’d like to see Piff-Paff in clan because I like him, not because he asked. Just I forgot him until I saw his request in BB logs.

  1592. Biondo says:

    Piff-Paff asked to join the clan. He is now known as !Mexico!Piff-Paff because he founded a clan together with another player (that I don’t like, he is an offensive player). Of course, in this case, it doesn’t matter if he belongs to another clan, because the clan is born today (or in the days before today), and the founder wants to terminate the clan he founded.

    But Piff-Paff, always behaved well. Also looking at Echelon and at BB log he is so clean, that I’ve never seen a player more clean than him. He is not a good player, his place in BB stats is around 60, now. But I vote for him.

    Please, say what you think: should Piff-Paff join the clan or not?

  1593. JesseJames says:

    Lol I was playing with him and Sape and Zapata, en he had mutate for 4 minutes reason: insulting other players.,…

  1594. Biondo says:

    SpayLin wants to join the clan, as you have seen.
    For your info: he is an insulting player (also Banned by Bodie for this reason).

  1595. Biondo says:

    Sorry SpayLin, but we are not accepting new clan members.
    In any case, if we had to choose among new candidates we’d chose those who respect clan rules.

  1596. SpayLin says:

    Hello * LAME * Clan,

    My real name: Justin

    SmokinGuns Name: SpayLin

    Greeting SpayLin

  1597. JesseJames says:

    No problem Wiskey it’s a pity but it’s good to see that you have a job. 🙂 Good luck with your job and see you in game.

    • Wiskey says:

      Thank you Jesse. My work ends at the end of February so I’m pretty sure that in March I’m back playing.

  1598. Slowly John says:

    for my absence i am sorry
    🙁
    yesterday evening was my “real life” too
    much and suddenly must i early go offline
    for other doings. but i hope to the next
    meeting…

  1599. GREYMAN says:

    Sorry i worked. 🙁

  1600. Wiskey says:

    I was too tired to play anymore in the evening. Too bad to hear that only 2 played at this time.

  1601. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys no screenshots because it was only Sarah and me, we played 1 game vs the bots and then 2 games in BB. 🙂
    Hope next week is better 🙂

  1602. Biondo says:

    Just now I was informed that I can’t be with you tonight (you know, real life). I hope some of you will take screenshots and publish them (or e-mail them to me for a later publishing).

    Have fun.

  1603. Sarah says:

    I vote for Tiujana, it is my favorite 🙂 and I enjoyed TDM last week so again would be good.

    Hope you feel better soon Sape

  1604. ZaPaTa says:

    Hehe, we have to arrange some early holidays! important business 😀 But have fun Gringo’s! I wish you good exercises in TDM too!

  1605. JesseJames says:

    Indeed sape hope you will be with us soon, but stay in bed and listen to music. That is the best recipe 🙂

    Hmm sport can be dangerous JJY? 🙂

    Oh BTW ZaPaTa can’t play this evening, he had a meeting with some friends (and he didn’t knew it before yesterday 🙂 )

  1606. JippiJaYeah says:

    @Sape: I wish you all the best for recovering from your illness.

    My left little finger was dislocated, so i will try to be there.

  1607. SAPE says:

    Howdy Cowboys!

    Nice videos Biondo, Thanx! 🙂

    I am ill, I won’t be there. Sorry. 🙁

    Grey phoned, he said he will work at night, he won’t arrive on time.

    I wish you great matches!

  1608. Slowly John says:

    Hey Biondo, that is very pretty!! you know, i love this time, her artists and the so great and crazy spaghetti western!!!
    many italo-western were synchronized for germany by
    “Rainer Brandt” (synchron-script-producer). this was so so
    funny. he is a good friend from Carlo Pedersoli and Mario
    Girotti and he was the german standard-voice from Tony
    Curtis…
    for me has the italo-western his own great special charme!
    do you know: “Oggi a me… domani a te!” ?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuWEKSPbfxs
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9Yz3_G8UVM
    i love the movi and his sound-track from Angelo Francesco Lavagnino!

  1609. JesseJames says:

    Haha I love 9GAG. 🙂

  1610. JesseJames says:

    Haha the last one is very funny 🙂
    It”s a pity that I don’t understand the first and second one, 🙂 They are well made.

    Ontopic : DM and TDM for me :), the maps of last week were good for me.

  1611. @spi says:

    hahaha … lol … omg …
    i love this open source buggy software products 😉
    lg

  1612. Biondo says:

    Spaghetti Western? Spaghetti mathematics! The top 20 list is made of 185 titles (no they aren’t 179 since some numbers are repeated and some other missing) 🙂

    Nice to see that The Good (named Biondo in Italian version) is at the first place.

    I think I’ve seen all Sergio Leone movies more than once, and few other titles in this list.

  1613. ZaPaTa says:

    Yep Indeed, great movie!
    Maybe it got something to do with the fact that the director wasn’t Italian, so it’s not an Spaghetti Western?

  1614. JippiJaYeah says:

    What a list, but were are the “The Magnificent Seven”.

    Yeah! It’s a conspiracy!
    here it is folks, have fun!

    http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Essential_Top_20_Films

    Some nice trailer-archieve of the same folks on YouTube:
    http://www.youtube.com/user/SWDBTrailer?feature=watch

  1617. JippiJaYeah says:

    It’s a secret link -after he gave us the link, we have to shoot him. 😉

  1618. Biondo says:

    Show us the link! … Show us the link! … Show us the link! … Show us the link! … Show us the link! … Show us the link! … hehe

  1619. JesseJames says:

    show me the link 🙂

  1620. ZaPaTa says:

    Would like to share this link with you all, it’s a nice top 20 of our dear Western films! Check it out, it got some nice surprises for me 🙂

  1621. SAPE says:

    Hm, very interesting. Thanx Biondo. Maybe I made some statistic in this case, but with all LAME member’s values.

  1622. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you Biondo! 🙂

  1623. ZaPaTa says:

    Thank you Biondo!

  1624. Slowly John says:

    thank you Biondo!

  1625. JesseJames says:

    Ok tnx biondo

  1626. SAPE says:

    Yep. It is all English now.

  1627. JesseJames says:

    THis pages are so interesting. 🙂

  1628. JesseJames says:

    heheh 🙂

  1629. JesseJames says:

    Indeed for me it’s the same my Italian is not so good. 🙂

  1630. Sarah says:

    Thanks Biondo.

    Some of the website is in another language and I don’t know how to change it, do you know how?

    I don’t want to click around in case I mess it up 🙂

  1631. Wiskey says:

    I hate the fact that when you die, then will meet in one place, and someone shows up and shoots at the same time. Discuss player killing is, however, very general, as well as to set the charging player’s shooting. In fact I expect that someone has been called out about and then I’ll shoot, and then I expect that he or she has downloaded aseeensa and then I’ll shoot.

  1632. JesseJames says:

    HMm it’s seems that altervista will extort us. But it’s fantastic that you did it again biondo. Tnx a lot (but it is not possible to remove the oldest pages, to have a bit space?

    Also tnx to you SAPE.

    • Biondo says:

      Rather than removing old pages, I’d remove your brain from your skull, Jesse. Hehe 😉

  1633. JesseJames says:

    Hmm interesting, I don’t think he behave himself in the future, so it’s seems bye bye ugly. 🙂
    And yes it’s so quiet. 🙂

  1634. Wiskey says:

    I would have preferred that he should be banned even 6 months. Now it is a nice quiet without him.

  1635. Biondo says:

    Update about the_ugly: TheDoctor commuted my 6 months temp-ban to a 2 months temp-ban, but said that if the_ugly will continue to behave the same when he’ll come back, he will be permanently banned from Baller.

  1636. SAPE says:

    Biondo, I think it is the time I must talk with Mercurius face to face as soon as possible. I’m sorry about it. I try to accelerate the process.

    Yesterday I got a surprise from Altervista (our hosting service): when I logged in I was welcomed with the message that we had run out of space!

    😯 What?? For 6 months we had no problem and now, after less than one month since my upgrade, we’ve run out of space? For me this makes no sense. In any case, to avoid a possible database corruption, I bought some more space (€10.89).

    Now this is the situation:

    Used space: 60.9%

    I trust Altervista less and less.

    In the meanwhile I’m still waiting from Mercurius an answer to a question I asked him before Christmas, and without his answer I can’t migrate the site. 🙁

  1638. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    Certainly a beautiful place. I have an idea: We’re going to hike there, if the LAME clan over the past 15 years.
    How about that?
    🙂

  1639. JippiJaYeah says:

    The first Fort (Fort Bliss) was build in El Paso.
    Something magic? Hmm, this town has one of the highest murder rate by shooting in USA. And sometime you can feel the old Western with ranches, cowboy hats, cows, old trains, square dance. The town has the longest beach, 2000 miles of sand to next coast.;) Anyway i like this town with the mountains, the dry air, the sand, and the cactuses.

  1640. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I vote for a good steak. Medium roasted of course. And a good Tennessee Whiskey (Jack Daniels) 🙂

  1641. ZaPaTa says:

    Hmm barbecue in the winter sounds nice. 🙂
    Btw is their a difference between Italian, or German barbecue (other meat,…)
    Jesse James 🙂

    Ooops zapata account was open. 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      OMG, Jesse 🙂 you speak/play as Zapa too often. Hehe.

      Yes there is a difference: the best barbecues I’ve ever eaten in my life were German barbecues (near Bremen). Yum, deliciuos! The meat was spiced with some herbs directly arrived from paradise.
      In Italy we don’t use spices for bbq.

  1642. JesseJames says:

    Oh yes you told that once. :), but living in an old western town it’s something magic?

  1643. JesseJames says:

    Oh I missed of date :), I knew that we started on a Friday our clan and taught that it was today :). And I remembered that I gave the date 14 of January to you, but indeed he is wrong. My memory is a bit strange today 🙂

    Indeed I had also the same idea. It’s a very special birthday.
    – Maybe a great clanwar or something like that? A little competition between clanmembers only? Or we can celebrate it with other clans/guys like @spi,…
    – Or a duel so we can see who is the fastest man on earth?
    – Or a great BB evening,with a lot of lame?
    – OR a teamdeadmatch game,…
    (drinking a good glass)
    shoot what do you will for celebrating our first year!

    I will thank you all to make this year so great!

    • Biondo says:

      Zapa wrote to me:

      “We founded LAME by setting up the site. Before that, we didn’t use that prefix. The site was founded: January 27, 2011 11:01:22 PM according to my registration mail. So January 27 is our birthday!”

      He seems well documented 🙂
      So, it’s January 27.

      About what to do to celebrate, let’s hear what other members like more, for me it’s the same.

  1644. JesseJames says:

    wow you went to EL Paso with your class?

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      No, i stay with my parents for on year El Plaso. It was the second time, after three years from ’72 to ’75.

  1645. Biondo says:

    @Jesse: Following our discussion in game, Lame’s birthday is the 27th of January. Not the 14th.

    We have time to organize something.

  1646. JesseJames says:

    Indeed JJY I had too much deads in a short time, 3 times a spawnkill and then you took the lead. 🙂 And I saw also that you camp a bit and it works. My tactic was the same like always shooting and running. 🙂

    I missed also you John, Sape, Mope.

  1647. JesseJames says:

    Hhaah great picture biondo and Jippi :). Look the boy his face with the blue sweater and his blue/ white ‘hood’. What a smile was that? 😀

    BTW jippi what was your costume here? He don’t look like a cowboy 🙂

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Well, i didn’t really remember anymore what my costume was.
      I was been surprising by my sister a few month ago, when she send me the picture. The picture was taken in ’78 when i was 9 years old and it shows my third degree german class in El Paso/Tx/USA.

  1648. ZaPaTa says:

    Has anyone noticed The Joker in the background!?
    “Why so serious?”

    😀

  1649. Biondo says:

    Hmm… I remember I’ve seen a photo of you in past times, but I can’t reveal the secret here 😉

  1650. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hehe, looks like gasolin robbing.

    Maybe you find me here:

    jippi as child..

  1651. Slowly John says:

    sorry, unfortunately, at later evening yesterday i had no time 🙁
    but i am looking forward to the next meeting. …and the ping-values on this server are looking good! 🙂

  1652. GREYMAN says:

    JJJ have right. Everyone is very good. Depends on the moment. More closely… 🙂

  1653. JesseJames says:

    I updated also the scoretable.

  1654. JesseJames says:

    Pfff indeed epic game, it was running and shooting like hell. 🙂 Look the scores in the second game even Greyman had 16 kills. It was completely insane. 🙂

    Everyone played more than well, but jippi you did it under stress. GG all

    Also the TDM was really fun, man vs female 0-2 🙂

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      @JJ:
      First i was running & shooting, like in the intro game, with too many dies by myself, so i decided at the end of the game to camp a little bit. I think you was always two or more point better then me, but a row of five dead shots in 2 second give me the advantage to beat you. 😉

      The TDM was almost funny two, but i don’t like to be female. 😉

      I missed Sape, Mope and Slowly too. 🙁
      With you gringos the score table didn’t looks in the first game so clear.

  1655. JippiJaYeah says:

    The intro game was fantastic – great massaker all.
    I think, i need color. 😉

    GG ALL!!! 🙂

  1656. GREYMAN says:

    GG all! 🙂

  1657. Biondo says:

    They were 2 epic battles! Tijuana and Lago. Too bad that Sape, Mope and Slowly weren’t with us.

    Jippi (with his brand new pale name) had a GREEEAT performance in the first match, but also Jesse had his satisfactions in both rounds. Overall impression: everyone played well.

    Screenshots:

  1658. Sarah says:

    I’ll be there but I don’t know the name of the map I like. It was the first one we played last week.

  1659. Mope says:

    Unfortunately, I can’t make it today. I’ll be missing you at work. Sorry.

  1660. GREYMAN says:

    Really CRAZY!!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀

  1661. GREYMAN says:

    On television, and internet. 🙂
    Jackson is better( technikal!). This is a my subjective opinion.

  1662. JesseJames says:

    Wow it’s nice to see that our boxers are famous in whole Europe :). Do you see them on television or in real life?

  1663. JesseJames says:

    The same to you @spi Happy and cheers full year.

  1664. @spi says:

    hey ho folks,
    hope you will not go foreign playing 😉
    cause thursday massacre belongs to …. TN !
    thats culture …… !

    if i find time and a system to join, be sure i will !

    kind regards and …
    btw……… best for 2012 to all of you !

    @spi

  1665. JesseJames says:

    @Greyman boxing is a bit a strange sport, you hit someone for pleasure and that in the 21century. I love all the other sports but not boxing (or golf) :), it’s not good for the brain I think.
    But I love Judo it’s more tactic and less punching .

    Ok in Belgium you have good boxers like Sugar Jackson and Jean-pierre Bauwens, in europe.

    • GREYMAN says:

      A bit simple JJ 😀
      I think its kind of hard for all sports. I like Judo too, but boxing more.
      The boxing is like SG. You can anytime win up to you. You need a strategy, change tactic and not a moment to decide.

      A Hungarian boxer said: ” Boxing is a gentlemanly sport, because people touch each other only when wearing gloves.”
      /László Papp, 1926-2003/

      BTW: Jackson and Bauwens are very good boxer, I’ve seen them boxing. 🙂

  1666. Wiskey says:

    Nice picture. Tijuana and Ghost Town.

  1667. GREYMAN says:

    Someone like boxing?
    It was my favorite hobby.

    • Biondo says:

      Grey, if I send you a photograph of me, you’d understand why I don’t like boxing 😀

      BTW, thanks for your comment to my last creation (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/thursdays-fiesta/): “This picture I like the best so far from you Biondo!”. Probably not my my merit, but I particularly appreciated your comment.

      • GREYMAN says:

        Ok I understand. You are not a type. 🙂
        BTW: Thanks. This is the truth, I think so.

    • Mope says:

      Oh, Greyman. Just have noticed your comment here, about boxing. I have a history with this sport. I own it so much, it helped me in many ways to overcome life obstacles when I was a teenager, gave me self-confidence, and helped a lot before the army service. I completely agree with you, it’s so much like SG. A true gentleman sport, and a beautiful one too. I’m so thankful to my boxing coach, Eli Luxemburg for spending his time and effort to teach me some basics of boxing!

      • GREYMAN says:

        Howdy!
        I fully agree with you Mope! 🙂 I have not seen a better sport, but it is a subjective opinion.
        It was very usefull for me in real life too.
        Are you right or left handed boxer? What is the weight?
        I am right handed, but i boxing as a left handed boxer. Sorry i do not know the correct term. / spent basic position ? / 🙂
        I was heavy weight.

        • Mope says:

          Greyman, just for the record, I’ve left boxing a year before the army, and it means a lot, lot time ago, that means my current weight is irrelevant… but I naturally was in some middle-weight group. As to your question, I’m right-handed.

  1668. GREYMAN says:

    Thanks!
    This picture I like the best so far from you Biondo!
    I will be there.
    @Biondo: between two rounds i am with you /cigarette pause/
    🙂

  1669. GREYMAN says:

    GG Sarah!
    ” easy with Colts ” 😀
    I shot him from Roofs a few times, but I could not win against him. His Dyna technique is very effective.
    Hi picks up frags quickly.

    @John: We were both slow together against him! 😀

  1670. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: thank you, nice freeware! i will look. i know gimp a little bit, but inkscape is new for me…

  1671. Slowly John says:

    very nice work Sarah! i think, he need a good break 🙂 … i was to slow.

  1672. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: wow, very nice picture!!! sorry for my nosiness please, wich software do you use?

  1673. SAPE says:

    Very nice poster Biondo! Grat!

    I will be there. I vote for Tijuana and Mexico town.

    Update: Sorry, I won’t be there 🙁

  1674. Biondo says:

    Thanks, all!

    For those of you interested in illustration/graphics:
    — inspiration (for lights/atmosphere): Mads Berg (http://www.madsberg.dk/), a wonderful Danish illustrator
    — some of the fighters are redesigned from Gir/Moebius’s “Blueberry” (I found the comics, ZaPaTa 😉 Very nice comics, I have to say).

    For maps, you choose … everything’s OK for me. But after 2 rounds I’ll sure make a pause.

  1675. ZaPaTa says:

    Love the graphic 🙂 awesome.
    The shots from the gun, shaped by the LAMEstar * (asterisk?) are looking a bit like magic wants. Makes us the wizards of Lame 😀

    “SAPE what’s that spell again to become a beast?”
    “Zapa, it’s called Shotgun!”

    I vote for Tijuana and Mexico town, if possible. Very long time since I played it (must be one of my first SG-memories) so would be great to take the DM or TDM up there.
    I propose=
    2 games DM @ TerraNova
    Afterparty TDM (but where?)

    Cheers
    Zap

  1676. JesseJames says:

    Nice graphic Biondo, I see Tiujana and I like that map, like you already know :). So I vote for Tiujana and (damn I can’t remember the name of the map :D).

  1677. Mope says:

    Wow, I love the graphics. TN was soooooo laggy last month. It would be nice to play some TDM.

  1678. Sarah says:

    Thanks, he’s hard to beat. I was almost shaking when I was near the frag limit 🙂

  1679. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Jippi! 😉

  1680. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hehe, fantastic poster. 🙂

  1681. Slowly John says:

    thx 🙂

  1682. JesseJames says:

    good work Sarah 🙂

  1683. JippiJaYeah says:

    With the lags at BB he is anyway not able to throw his dyna stick. 😉

  1684. Wiskey says:

    Always the same words ….

  1685. Sarah says:

    Ha, I just played with the ugly on Paladin, I don’t think he will ever learn. He was especially angry when I won twice 🙂

  1686. ZaPaTa says:

    Hilarious!….Didn’t know he was banned. As you see the proof here, a good thing.

    • Biondo says:

      I’ve banned him for 6 months as soon as I became admin in Baller again. Of course, not because of his dynamite (dyna is a legal weapon) but because of his offensive tongue.

  1687. Mope says:

    Biondo, please remind me how to create the comments log of the game?

    • Biondo says:

      Sorry, Mope, I don’t know a way to log the game client-side. I don’t think this is possible.
      I got the log from the server.
      🙁

    • Biondo says:

      @Mope, I found the answer to your question in this comment by moRtem: http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?p=22812#22812

      To summarize, put the following lines in your q3config.cfg:

      seta g_logSync "1"
      seta g_log "game.log"
      g_logfilesync "2"

      This way the log of every game is saved into a file called game.log in the same directory of your q3config.cfg

      I’m not sure if the last line is useful… I see that it disappeared after a game play.

  1688. @spi says:

    hahaha …..

    old gringos like us don´t want or need such modern sh … like FB, Twitter etc … 🙂

  1689. JesseJames says:

    gaap geeuwww! 🙂 It’s always the same with that guy, now it’s so quiet in BB. 🙂

  1690. SAPE says:

    “Stupid shotgun!” 😀

  1691. Wiskey says:

    I was hoping that @spi, or The Doctor can do something beyond the delay unit, but their hands are tied. Thank you, however, Biondo. Hopefully do not need to start looking for a new server for dm games.

  1692. JesseJames says:

    virtual dj do I use for mixing, and then a program to take the faults out of the mixes.

    Lol that’s a grumpy old man. Great first video. 🙂

  1693. JesseJames says:

    Indeed thanks, it’s a pity that they can’t do something to solve the problem.

  1694. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: thx for your information

  1695. Slowly John says:

    @JesseJames: i understand 🙂 , then maybe Johnny Horton?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsRK3DNoa_Q
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fofa_BkIeg0
    wich software do you use to mix the music?

  1696. JesseJames says:

    hehe tnx Slowly John, but my father is a great fan of Johnny Cash but for me sometimes he sounds like an old man. 🙂 And that’s the reason I “killed” him. 🙂 But he made also good songs, like the ring of fire,etc.

    It’s difficult to mix countrymusic, once i will make a new better one. 🙂

  1697. Slowly John says:

    @JesseJames & ZaPaTa: THX, i have listen “http://soundcloud.com/kartje/jesse-james-mix” and
    “soundcloud.com/kartje/lamemix” and i must say,
    they are realy good!! in one of them was at the end
    johnny cash shot … and that was pitty, …because
    i love him…
    🙂 🙂 🙂
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfqe-3jxItk#t=2m44s

  1698. JesseJames says:

    Lol, and you win Jippi? 🙂

    5:37 I was laying in my bed i think 🙂

  1699. SAPE says:

    Hmm. I played in Paladin in the past. My ping was 200-220. It wasn’t so funny.

  1700. JippiJaYeah says:

    Timestamp:
    It’s 05:37 o’clock in the morning.
    Kanada vs China is playing.
    That means, 260 ping vs 237 ping.
    Does this make funny? 🙁

  1701. :-p

    understandable and no problem at all. just utter some suggestions here or on IRC so we can keep an overview about the votes, in some way. we’d welcome new ways of thinking (of a server’s usage) and will do our best to make them happen 🙂

    @ jesse, done.

  1702. JesseJames says:

    @Dike I checked 😉

  1703. Wiskey says:

    Yes, I know that Hirvonen and Sohlberg are good drivers, they are often among the top six. I have not played Richard Burns, but I’ve heard its realism.

  1704. SAPE says:

    Sorry, I don’t have too. We are old-fashioned cowboys. 🙂

  1705. http://www.facebook.com/groups/217545861664536/

    belongs to CM; we started some polls … vote guys, the fate of the server is in your hands, to some extent 🙂

  1706. JesseJames says:

    Also the brothers Solberg and Hirvonen are very good drivers. Norwegian and Finnish riders are always good if you look in the scoretables.

    Also a very good game is Richard Burns, very realistic gameplay, but if you crash is your car too much damaged to continue driving. 🙂 And that frustrates me 🙂

  1707. Slowly John says:

    @biondo: i understand you good! for “tdm” (i like “tdm” on “urban terror”, “ut” and “dfx”), i miss the option “enable friendly fire protection” and a better color-difference of the teams (perhaps colored hats 🙂 )… but i have not so a big problem with “tdm”. but by “br” i am very bored if i killed. that is the same problem, like with “counter strike” and so on… . but sometimes i can imagine even play along this game-type, but also not regularly.

  1708. Wiskey says:

    Mini-competition in the previous period, and was doing well as a new car. Yes, I know, Colin Mc Rae games, but I have not played them. Sometimes I think those racing videos on YouTube, there are both new and old rally. I also have a few rally games, RalliSport Challenge Rally Trophy. I’m surprised that you’ve been a fan of Grönholm. I thought that the Finnish rally drivers are poorly understood abroad. Yep, Marcus was good, but does not drive anymore. I remember when some active career after discontinuation of Mc Rae drove one more competition in the British Rally, there remained no longer master of the old with the younger.

    The Finnish language seems to be difficult to Translate.

  1709. Biondo says:

    This is my opinion about BR (and partially about TDM) …

    First of all, let me say something you already know: I hate dates, particularly recurring dates. I try to be present in our weekly DM, but it’s not the best gaming experience for me.

    That said, I love BR:

    – it is surely the most complex gameplay in SG
    – it requires individual AND collective strategy
    – it requires collaboration among team/clan members
    – it is a slow game
    – it let’s you experience other servers, apart from Baller

    I hate BR:

    – there is the risk of team killing (this occurred to me every time I played BR, because I’m used to DM’s fast reactions, or because I don’t see the red cross), which usually ends in getting insulted, when not even kicked
    – it limits individual strategy for the benefit of community (this sometimes means a boring game)
    – it requires training and experience
    – it requires dates, if you want to play with your best friends
    – if you get killed at the beginning of a round you can better go and smoke an Havana cigar, or point your telescope outside the window to take photographs of Orion Nebula
    – it requires that you play outside Baller 😉

    So, I can’t say that I’ll never play BR with you, but probably not so often.

  1710. JesseJames says:

    Or the mini is also a cool car.
    I like also the game Collin Mcrae you know that game? He was a long time ago world champion but he crashed with a helicopter and he died :(.

  1711. Wiskey says:

    @ Jesse You are right. Loeb wins almost all the rallies, and no one else can do nothing. Rally is a bit boring now anyway when the winners of the same car and same characters, I would hope there would be other cars. Like the VW.

  1712. Wiskey says:

    When I first started to play I SG I first br servers. But now that I’ve played only dm games I no longer know how to play br games. Not Greyman, I do not give up. I just have to keep playing, and dm servers that Br. Tuesday is enough even for the right day to play TDM. I have enough time on the server Circus.

    I wrote this using Google Translate, I hope this is clearer than before.

  1713. JesseJames says:

    I’am happy to see your post Wiskey. 🙂
    For me it’s the same when we play TDM or BR, i’am happy with every decision, but sometimes on Tuesday it’s football (champions League) 🙂

  1714. GREYMAN says:

    No no no!
    Whiskey nobody started playing SG as a pro. Everyone should exercise more. New to us BR and TDM. TDM is the first step.
    Who will find something. The enemy has just two hand and is not immortal…..
    Can you do not give up!
    You know WE ARE LAME! 😀 😀

    Btw: Congratulations to your first post! 🙂

  1715. sounds great. your interest in TDM that is. x0p vs. lame – it’d only be some sort of friendly competition, if competition at all.

    server now has its own gametracker page btw; you can quickly (and in a convenient way already known to ya) access it here:

    http://thecircusisintown.jimdo.com/circus-maximus-x0p-s-server/

    cya folks,
    take care,

    Magician

  1716. SAPE says:

    Biondo, I know you prefer the DM, but I hope you will join us some TDM.
    I think just you and I play with high picmip. You know, in picmip 9, you can’t identify your teammate (the “red cross” out of order). I have tested different picmip settings:
    The best setting is picmip 3 with high brightness. There is a well seen red square in the middle of your crosshair. It is the highest picmip that work in team game.

  1717. SAPE says:

    I think the TDM day is a courtesy. It sounds to the LAME Clan. I think it is Tuesday, but I think we could be there.

  1718. SAPE says:

    Good idea. There is one problem: Dike said every Tuesday are TDM day in Circus Maximus, other days it is a BR server.

    • Wiskey says:

      Well, if there is only BR it is suitable for me. Thought I am only burden for my team.

  1719. JesseJames says:

    I think ZaPaTa will like EEK a mouse he loves very much Reggae .

    @Wiskey i was always a fan of Markus Grönholm when he was world champion Rally, now with Loeb it’s a bit boring. 🙂

    Btw: Paris-Dakar started a week ago.

  1720. Wiskey says:

    I have 3 adult cat and 4 little cat and 1 rabbit. I like much of motorsport, rally is my favourite. I listened 2 Eek a mouse song, nice singer.

  1721. Biondo says:

    Thank you Wiskey for posting. It’s nice that you found your way to let us listen to your voice here. I know that English is a problem for you (as it is French for me, or Finnish, or Urdu, or Chinese), so welcome! Keep on posting!

    About TDM, BR and so on (I see that in this week the blog was an explosion of ideas! Nice, my friends… I’ve read all of your comments and posts… and thank you, Jippi, for having solved the Captcha bug) I’ll comment at a later time.

  1722. SAPE says:

    @Sarah: My favorite is Pittsburgh Steelers, and you know, I am agriculture engineer, so I like animals too. In the past I had some aquariums. We have some common interest. 🙂

    • Sarah says:

      Yay 🙂 after reading everyone’s interests mine was completely different. I can only have fish because I am renting so I’m not really allowed animals, my landlord does not know about my two aquariums :). My favorite team is the New England Patriots but it’s hard to find time to watch games because they go on for so long and the time difference too.

      Thanks Slowly, hope you do too.

  1723. Slowly John says:

    hi Sarah,

    thx for your nice information and your good links. i
    like reggae sometimes for a sunny relaxing, in a pool
    together with a good batida de coco or an cuba libre
    🙂
    and i like also much different arts of dancing. one for
    example, this follow dancer (from 1:25):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey8Ui63VgHs#t=1m25s

    have nice sunday

  1724. Sarah says:

    Hi all. I am 21 years old and at university studying business. I also have a part time admin job.

    My interests include American Football and animals, especially fish. I like lots of different types of music but mostly dance.

    If you like reggae you should listen to Eek A Mouse, which Frank introduced me to. Here are links to my favorites 🙂

      Hi Sarah. What do you mean by “admin job”? Administrator, OK, but in which field?

      • Sarah says:

        I work in an office for a mobile phone recycling company so I do basic tasks like print out and pack letters, it’s very boring 🙁

        • Biondo says:

          OK, I see… admin = administrative, not “administrator”. I hoped that you could have helped in administrating the server 🙂 No problem.

    • ZaPaTa says:

      @ Sarah. What’s the chance of meeting someone that likes both Reggae and SG!? Maybe you haven’t red it yet above your post somewhere, but I’m a very big reggae fan.
      I love Eek-A-mouse, i got a tune called “Peeni-Walli” on vinyl, 7inch repress. Anyway if you live in England you are lucky concerning reggae and especially soundsystem culture (more my kind of subculture, I’m also heavily inspired by ‘The Message’, RastafarI, in reggae music).
      I’ve seen this summer Channel One sound system in Belgium. Heavy! But I’m a big fan of Aba Shanti, and I also like the bristolian scene, also Jah Shaka…etc. I could go on and on 😀
      Anyway, nice to see some Eek a Mouse here 😀

      Cheers!

      • Sarah says:

        @ZaPaTa. Oh you already know about him :), I haven’t heard any of the ones you mention but I will give them a try later 🙂

  1725. Slowly John says:

    @JesseJames: thx, i will do that this week. 🙂
    have a nice sunday & see u soon

  1726. JesseJames says:

    Maybe you can listen to my Countrymixes that I posted a few months ago :), hope you enjoy it.

  1727. Slowly John says:

    thx for the nice and interesting online forum! older
    games are also my taste.
    from time to time listen i us-country-musik in car,
    mostly older songs. i am also a fan of dolly parton
    🙂 ,
    kenny rogers, johnny horton, floyd red crow westermen,
    johnny cash… and so much more musicans and
    music-styles.

    – my birthyear-line 🙂 :

    many of the 70er car-types i like also much. but i
    have no car-technical knowledge. i look after the
    shape, the sound, the color, the character, the nostalgic
    value…

  1728. Slowly John says:

    @ZaPaTa: thx, i will a little bit play on this server and i am looking forward to a match with the team 🙂

  1729. ZaPaTa says:

    Wow, great. Thanks for your interest and trust in our clan. Your offer is very kind. Great news! I’m not sure of the necessity of a password right now. But TDM is indeed in our interest. We’re planning to exercise a bit more on the teamplay so TDM would be really nice, especialy on your server. XOP against LAME? We could learn a lot, for sure. But we would make no competition agains XOP I fear…I hope I can join very frequently on the TDM Tuesdays.

  1730. Wiskey says:

    Yes, John first link is right. Thought Outlaws is old, it has still many friends that make new maps and even multiplayer client.

    http://outlawsgame.50.forumer.com/general-discussion-f55625.html

    I like nearly everything that belong to USA. Country music, western movies and games, cars.

  1731. ZaPaTa says:

    Yes Off course Mope, It’s the responsibility of us all. But I can’t remember all the games I did or didn’t play, it just seems a little, only 5. But no complains about your work 😉 !

  1732. SAPE says:

    Thanx the invitation. It is great!! 🙂
    I think we will join on Tuesday evening. I will be there.

    SAPE

  1733. We decided to push the TDM mode more and hereby announce the ‘TDM Tuesday’. Maybe we even find the time to play some XOP vs. *LAME* on tuesdays from now on.
    BR still will be the default mode, so you could celebrate thursday’s DM’s aftermath with robbing some banks on Circus Maximus for instance.
    Of course it’s not obligatory to e.g. play TDM the entire tuesday – exceptions to the schedule could be arranged via IRC.

    All LAMEs are cordially invited to join this weekly occasion 🙂

    Kind regards,

    Magician

  1734. Mope says:

    Friends, I must admit, that I could have mistaken in the scores, and especially in number of games played by each player. The score keeping is everyone responsibility, please check that the data is correct. You’re welcome to fix the errors.

  1735. ZaPaTa says:

    Tnx Mope for keeping up with the score table & screens! very much appreciated. I only played 5 times ? 🙁 I’m a bad *LAME*er, sorry chaps. Lame!

  1736. JesseJames says:

    Tnx a lot Dike to have so much confidence in our clan. We will have in the future a BR or TDMwar. 🙂
    We played yesterday on your server and it was fun.

  1737. JesseJames says:

    It’s fantastic news that we can play on a private server with a nice ping and without lags. Great!

  1738. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Mope.

  1739. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    Sape know my opinion, hi told all.
    We need practice guys and of course Lady Killer Queen! 😀 😀

    @sape: Yep! This is very good news!

  1740. Mope says:

    I forgot to mention, that the scoring table has been updated. Sarah is now on the list, as a new rising star. Sape is leading with 6,5 points. Hope everything is right.

  1741. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    Dike invited us to the XOP server playing some BR or TDM. And he offered we could play there in closed with password.
    So there is a place we can practice privately. 🙂
    It is great news!

  1742. SAPE says:

    Hi Dike!

    Thanx the invitation. we planing some team playing (TDM or BR), and I hope we will go to your server often.

    SAPE

  1743. (originally this message was supposed to be posted yesterday, but if the captchas now work again i’d be glad anyway – thanks to jesse for caring about that problem, thanks to jippi for solving it so fast :-p
    now here’s yesterday’s content, still valid today:)

    @ all: XOP would love to see you on our server. We truly appreciate you guys doing some advertisement. Thanks from all acrobats and clowns:))

    There are several (major) options we can offer you:

    1) game type: by default it’s BR, but it’s pretty easy to change it; TDM might be of some interest for you.

    2) password protection: if you want to play amongst your fellas or with some other chosen guys, that’d be no problem either. Server is available for clan wars and similar stuff. Just get a password from us and spread it among your dudes.

    ## –> in both cases you should contact one of us (Ricochet or Dike at the moment) via IRC: http://thecircusisintown.jimdo.com/spectators/irc/

    Meet ya there some day ;),

    Best Regards,

    Magician

  1744. SAPE says:

    Zap, I think you all right. We must measure the possibility of the TDM. Maybe the BR is a too big step now, and the TDM is better choice, maybe the members who don’t like BR wants to join to a good TDM party.
    So it is an easier way to playing in team.

  1745. ZaPaTa says:

    Yes, thanks for joining all.
    If my score is a bit week, a friend played half a part of my game. No one noticed!? hehe.
    Very nice scores by Sarah, good to have some competition for champions like SAPE and Jippie, who didn’t join us (NP mate!). Already a name for Sarah, Killer Queen. Love it 🙂
    Well done all.
    John, hope you work out your Beta bugs so you’ll be with us next week! Hope to unite the clan and convince Biondo to join 😀 Anyway, have a nice day!
    (Mope: Nice pic!)

  1746. ZaPaTa says:

    Heya!
    Yesterday…It was fun! Let me resume: I love the fact all members join in the evening on this weekly basis, we play a short game, really feels good for me and give some meaning to a clan. The Afterparty, like I call it, is often fun too. But I experienced a lot of member just quit after the second game. This is OK off course, we’re all short in time, but by doing something extra, we could extend the evening on a free-to-join basis. So I really supported the extra game BR in CM (Circus Maximus XOP server). But then came the disaster. I rarely play BR, I don’t know it very well, I’m more of a runner, crossing the street…not a sniper. I don’t have a strategy…etc. But it’s actually pretty complex and detailed playing. This makes me always curious to learn it, and on the other hand it’s frustrating.
    So I (and I guess we were all?) was bad yesteday. And like Jesse said, we have a certain reputation, at least in BallerBude, but elsewhere, we’re just peanuts i believe.
    On the other hand it’s a good way to meet other clans and learn from eachother.

    So mixed feelings…Can I join the Special LAME forces for a while, check it out and see if I start to like it (I like taking challenges to learn something new you know…) If I don’t, I quit again?
    Would you suggest learning it by playing public? Or only against a clan like XOP, who can learn us? (I prefer second).
    Would it be on a fixed time/date?

    Also, I had a quick chat with Sarah yesterday. she don’t like BR, and I think other LAME’ers feel the same about it. We have to focus still on the DM-stuff, and maybe think a while to run into the TDM again??? Isn’t this another way, in between the possibilities, even just for a while to learn playing in teams?

  1747. JesseJames says:

    Ok we need 1 or 2 guys/girls who will play BR. 🙂

    • Sarah says:

      I’m not too keen on BR 🙁 sorry. I like to run around and shoot everyone and also don’t like the waiting after Ive been shot. I don’t want to let the team down :), I was thinking when I have more time I can practice with other people, maybe become a BR killer queen too 🙂 and then I might join you.

  1748. SAPE says:

    There are different BR styles I think, and there are different tasks (cover, sniper etc.) I have lots of idea 🙂
    So the *LAME Special Force* has good chance to founded 🙂
    We have 4 joiner to BR now.

  1749. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Jippi I will send him a mail back 🙂

  1750. Jippi says:

    Solution found, it’s now working.

  1751. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yes, there is a problem with Captcha. I work for a solution.

  1752. SAPE says:

    Ok Jesse. It is a good news. 🙂 Grey said he want to play BR too. Mope the same. Zapata?

    • JesseJames says:

      I think that ZapaTa don’ t love BR, it’s too much waiting said he yesterday. It’s running BAM BAM dead, and waiting,… He is not the type that loves camping, he is like me impulsive running and shooting. In BR it’s just the opposite, waiting, crouching and make that nobody can see you.

  1753. JesseJames says:

    Yesterday Dike send this mail to me. Have anyone a solution to his problem?

    hey guys,

    i was about to post some stuff and tried to send the comment. i got a ‘captcha is wrong’ message 10 times at least. highsteric was trying to do the same and did not have any success either. it seems to be not browser related since we both use different ones (FF & chrome) – if this even COULD be the reason.

    quite a pity cos i had a message supposed to be sent before the daily DM commences :/

    hopefully you get this fixed somehow,

    best regards,

    Dike/Magician

  1754. JesseJames says:

    Jep I vote for BR. 🙂
    In Urban terror was I good in capture the flag, so it’s a bit simmular.

  1755. JippiJaYeah says:

    Well, indeed BR is a new huge challenge for the *lame* clan.
    But for me it’s to time-consuming.

    • SAPE says:

      No problem Jippi. You are the best LAME player, and if you sometime wants to play some BR, you will be a very valuable part of the team.
      But if we wnt to reach an assessable skill, result, we need a “basic” team (min. 4-6 player), who can play in a team and know each other very much.

  1756. SAPE says:

    @Jesse: So do you vote for BR?

    Yes we have name in SG, so we can’t afford ourself similar fall like yesterday.

    Where is the bank? I linked an SG wallpaper in the DM topic (yesterday clan DM). It is very usefull. And if enough member vote for BR I make maps, and it will be clear.

  1757. JesseJames says:

    Indeed the last days I played a few hours in jeuxlinux and xop server because their was no folk in BB. And I liked, but yesterday it was terrible for us. We had 4 kills in 10 minutes or something. 🙂 (like I said in DM page)
    But It’s good to have new plans with the clan, something different. And yes it will cost a few hours to have a good strategy and a different way of playing.

    One negative point is we have a name in SG, but if we play like yesterday they laughing with us.
    A different point is I don’t know the bank in every map. 🙂 Like yesterday I was the last man in jeuxlinux but didn’t know where the bank was. 🙂

  1758. JesseJames says:

    Indeed it was fun yesterday, and nice to see so much lame.
    Sarah in her first matches she took 1 point and SAPE 2. For me it was to times a third place. Not bad but could be better.

    BR in the Xop server was a bit terrible for us, I think,… In 10 minutes we had all togheter maybe 4 kills. 🙂 It’s very different than DM, not so impulsive running and shooting, but slow down. For us it was running, dead and waiting,etc. 🙂

  1759. SAPE says:

    I vote for BR.
    If you support it, I start to develop the details. I like to cross-check every step with you, like a brain-storming, if you intrested in BR. I think we need 5-6 player to make a team.

    The SG the first game I play DM. The past I always play FPS in team, so I am not exert, but I have some experiences. I try to make plans, tactics, if you agree and don’t mind.
    I waiting for your comments.

    SAPE

  1760. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    So we done our first BR party.
    I try to summarize my viewpoint about BR:

    Pro:
    + Give a completelly new and fun experience
    + The most complex SG mode
    + We meet other clans better
    + We play in team, and is develope the “Lame spirit”

    Contra:
    – We need straregy in every maps as lawmen and as outlaw too, becouse the BR is fun, if you have teamwork and strategy.
    – Consequently we need some practice in team, and it is time-consuming.
    – Some clan (forexample the BB) is wait for us to eat us alive. Some (ex)cheater playing BR nowadays, and they don’t like our clan I think.

    Summary:

    I think we have two possibility:
    1. We want to try some BR. But if you want this, we must work on it. (I think lost matches with very bad rate not so fun)
    2. We stay in DM and sometimes play some TDM (it is less difficult I think)

    I think we needn’t be the best BR clan, but if we want to play BR, we must grow up in BR-skill up to that level, we can stand in the gap.

  1761. SAPE says:

    GG all. Thanx the games. Sarah, you are a Killer Queen 🙂 Congratulation.

  1762. Slowly John says:

    …terra nova runs 🙂 , but it is very lagging (i tested two maps). maybe run it next week better for me… thx & nice evening @all! john

  1763. Slowly John says:

    @Mope: thank you! …i load the files… and test it 🙂

  1764. GREYMAN says:

    GG all! It was hard game and FUN!!! 😀 😀
    All members are getting better. GG!

  1765. Mope says:

    here’s ghosttown, I also had to re-download this file for some reason, so I entered in the middle of the game.


    shot0001

  1766. Slowly John says:

    @SAPE: thx for the ip, i found the terra nova server with my monster-browser… but if i start says the next screen to me: “dissable map download” in the game-settings. ok, i do this… but, it is pitty, the game miss now the map “dm_ghosttown” (and i imagine even more maps). i am back now from my work and i want to play today for a half hour (1/2h, because i am a little bit tired). ok, maybe (i hope) i can play the next thursday… 🙂 . please, can you say me, where i can download the missing maps? have a nice evening, john

  1767. Mope says:

    Jesse, I’m sorry if I’ve duplicated the DM post, but your post is unseen on the homepage, not in the wordpress manager. It can be only achieved from the mail, I’ve got when I came home from work. Sorry again.

  1768. SAPE says:

    IP of the XOP server: 213.239.206.110

    Just open the consol and type:

    \connect 213.239.206.110

    (Terra Nova: \connect 212.65.13.87:27962)

  1769. Wiskey says:

    I Will be there. Nice that we play something team match now when Nargajuna’s is down. I suggest Station and Ghost Town.

  1770. JippiJaYeah says:

    I can’t be with you, i’m playing volleyball.

  1771. Mope says:

    Jesse, I haven’t seen your topic, did you publish it?

  1772. SAPE says:

    I will be there too. Grey work, but he said he will arrive on time. We will come to the BR afterparty too. Is the BR on XOP server? I think so.

    There is some help:

    Where is the bank? 🙂

    http://www.smokin-guns.net/pics/wallpapers/sg_br.jpg

  1773. JesseJames says:

    I will be there 🙂 also for the BR game.
    I made a topic for this evening also 😉

  1774. JesseJames says:

    If you have good names shoot! and we see. 🙂

  1775. SAPE says:

    Yep. I think the same. 10 member is enough, max 12. So we stop recruiting.

  1776. GREYMAN says:

    Yep Sape! You have right. I join too! 😀
    I think we can also learn BR, or TDM. Just we need practice.
    I am sure will be fun! 🙂

  1777. JippiJaYeah says:

    I agree with you JJ, one or two slots should be free for nice players to get a maximum of twelve players.

  1778. Slowly John says:

    …i know it not, you mean the follow game here ?:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifbB_nM05lE
    it looks realy nice! i like the old “dos-shooter”. there was many good and very big games. for example, i remember me good on Redneck Rampage (1997)? :
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jcMCoBs7nM
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1owxVI3m_I&feature=related

  1779. JesseJames says:

    I think it’s not a priority to recruit new members, but if their is one very good player that is friendly etc then their is space for him/her. If not than it’s not a problem.
    12 it’s the maximum to keep it under control i think.

  1780. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    We have ten members now. Would we continue the recruting or it is enough? What is your opinion?

  1781. SAPE says:

    I think so. The XOP server is sounds good, and there is good relationship between the two clan. Maybe Grey join too. I think we could wait till every clanmember will comment, after it we will discuss the details.
    We will play for fun, but the BR would be fun if you have some strategy and teamwork.
    I think all of us have enough experience in SG. So I think if we talk about the strategy, the maps (maybe we could make a new BR menu), it is enough.

  1782. Wiskey says:

    I have old Lucasarts Outlaws game where music sounds like Morricone in Leone’s movies. Good game.

  1783. ZaPaTa says:

    Count me in too. I don’t like playing in JeuxLinux. I start, got shot and can’t play for the next 10 minutes. Boring.
    But with LAME it will be different. Less players and always someone nice to talk too. True, we are larger now and it can boost our weekly date…Great idea, tnx! Could we use the XOP server?

  1784. Slowly John says:

    @Wiskey: thx for your nice information. i think also like you, here are realy good friends with many same interests 🙂
    i like also sergio leone and many songs of his composer ennio morricone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwzZBoAYX74&feature=related

  1785. Mope says:

    I’d like to try too. I’ve played a few BR games in the past, I am really bad at BR, but I don’t mind to participate and ruin your game.

  1786. Wiskey says:

    I haven’t tell anything from itself, so here it is. I am born 1989, and I live in little state in Finland. I don’t know is state right word for my home place but anyway. I like western games and western movies. I have maybe all Sergio Leone’s movies in dvd. Like Sape, I am also nature human, I like to walk in nature and take some photos.

    It’s nice to play SG with my clan member, I feel that we are nearly like family, thought, we live in different countries.

    I forget to say that I am agricultural engineer, but in next autumn I maybe go to school and try get another job for me. Maybe something graphical like Zapata?

  1787. JesseJames says:

    Hehe finally a person that asked it :p. Zapata and I asked a few months ago but it didn’t work. Now we are with more players it is possible to play BR.
    The last days I play more BR (because their was nobody in BB) in jeuxlinux and XOp server and I liked. It was with nice players (that isn’t always the same in jeuxlinux) and I robbed a few times the bank. :p

    I vote yes for sometimes play a BR game. Hopefully their are more players who agree with us.

    greetz
    Jesse James

  1788. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    Some days ago some of us played BR in XOP new game server. I think we were LAME, but it was funny. 🙂
    Some weeks, monts ago we played TDM matches in Nargajunas server, but we gave up it several reasons (the NargaJunas is broke down inter alia).
    I know we are DM clan and we will be DM clan troo, (I prefer the DM too) but I want to ask you: Who wants to play some TDM or BR in the future?
    We tried it in the past, but now we have 10 members, so we could create a team even if some of us don’t want to play TDM or BR. (I think it would work with 4-5 player.)
    It isn’t obligation, it is just a possibility.
    I wait for your comments.

    SAPE

  1789. JesseJames says:

    I played UT also a few years ago with ZaPaTa, a very nice game but always too busy and a too fast game.
    But I hope that we see you in SG as well.

    Greets
    Jesse James

  1790. Stone says:

    Dear Sarah
    I have Deleted SG from my computer and will no longer be playing this game.
    Just want to thank you for being kind and caring to me.
    hope you have a great time with Lame clan, they are very nice players.
    For the future i will be playing UT, and hope one day to meet you there!!!
    Kind regards
    Stone

  1791. Slowly John says:

    …yes, a nice vacation Biondo with a lot of relax, joy and so on… …and a happy-new-year!!!

  1792. JesseJames says:

    @DIKE very good server, it was fun, but I was bad yesterday (newyearseve :D)
    Good ping and no lag, and good that you also can play BR and DM very nice.

  1793. ZaPaTa says:

    Some amazing news hits us in this start of 2012. Congrats on that server XOP. Hope we will play a lot on it together.
    Wishing all XOP members a very nice and playfull 2012.

    To all *LAME*members. Thanks for staying with us the past year. I didn’t expect to see the clan growing and getting a serious grip on BB and new SG-players in just one year. But we can almost celebrate our first year, and I believe we can say, with much succes. Thanks all for joining, for playing BB regularly, for taking the clan rules seriously, and for being so massively online, taking this site to the next level.
    My wishes for the next year:
    First, I wish you and you family and friends a good health and prosperity and happiness. For the clan I hope we find ways to promote the site to all SG players, since recently we know only our LAME’ers are visiting it. I also hope we will all be able to pick up signals of frustrated or tired players earlier, so we can avoid people quieting the clan very fast. I also hope we find a way to make our clan-membership inspiring and interesting, by organizing our weekly DM, or by organizing similar events. You can always shoot your new ideas here!

    I hope the clan can offer you all very much pleasure the coming year in SG and I hope to see you all posting and writing here on this site. Cheers!

    An extra thanks to:
    Amike: for learning us why we don’t have to accept all players in our clans and for proving why clan rules should be important 😀

    • JesseJames says:

      Haha Amike, I forgot him already. 🙂 But you are right were are the times with our first clanwar vs WR. :p
      We and amike vs 10 good players of WR.

  1794. Thanks to Jesse, Sape, Jippi and Whisky 🙂

    Feel free to connect another time again,
    contact us if you’re willing to play TDM or whatnot (#wr.clan @ Qnet),
    we surely can arrange something for ya.

    And yeah, we gotta play another game w i t h Biondo then who unfortunately was missing out on us yesterday 🙂

  1795. SAPE says:

    Thanx Dike. I usually use consol. I will be there.

  1796. there’ll be no pass. just /connect 213.239.206.110
    you can already add it to monsterbrowser 😉

  1797. SAPE says:

    Have a nice vacation Biondo. 🙂 Happy new Year!

  1798. SAPE says:

    Today I try to connect. 7:00 pm. Thanx the inviting Magician. Are there any password or just connect the IP?

  1799. Biondo says:

    @Jesse: “Further information here: http://thecircusisintown.jimdo.com/circus-maximus-x0p-s-server/ ” 🙂

  1800. JesseJames says:

    If I’am not too tired this evening I will play, yesterday it was a bit too late :).
    But nice to see you have an own server.
    Can you give the IP adress?

  1801. Biondo says:

    Dear friends, I’ll be away from town and from Internet until the 8th of January. Take care of the site, and of BallerBude 😉
    I wish you a happy 2012 and a lot of fun games!

  1802. GREYMAN says:

    Thanx @spi! 🙂
    Thanx for all!

  1803. Biondo says:

    I was waiting for you, Dike! Thank you!
    Nice to see a new XoP server around, “Circus Maximus”, hehe 🙂
    I’ll be not at home for some days, so I’ll be not with you tomorrow, but I’m sure some *LAME*s will take part in the party.
    Happy New Year to XoP clan.

  1804. First of all: nice header on the stats page, Biondo, as always.

    X0P is wishing all *LAME* members a scrappy New Year ;-p

    How about celebrating it with the launch of a new server: Circus Maximus?!
    All of your members are invited to join our inauguration party tomororrow @ 7 pm CET. We’d be glad to see some of you folks around 🙂

    Further information here: http://thecircusisintown.jimdo.com/circus-maximus-x0p-s-server/

    Game modes likely to be played tomorrow: DM, TDM, DUEL, BR. Since we chiefly invited a bunch of BR players, it’s most probable the game mode of the day, but we’ll play some rounds of DM as well so we can satisfy your taste, too. 🙂

    Cya,

    Magician

  1805. JesseJames says:

    HEhe like I said already.
    I wish you all the best in 2012, (it seems that after this year the world will dissapear 🙂 ) a good healty, a lot of fun and good food and drinks,…

  1806. JesseJames says:

    I see that I missed something in the last DM :).
    Yes also for me it was a good year, when I started with ZaPaTa the clan we don’t have an idea that our clan will become so big like now. With such a good site and so much views.

    So thank you all guys and Sarah. 🙂
    Without you no LAMEclan.

    Enjoy this evening and tommorow.
    Happy N-Y

  1807. JippiJaYeah says:

    Happy New Year !

  1808. GREYMAN says:

    Happy New Year! 🙂

  1809. Slowly John says:

    …i like banjo-music so like on bb-server… also some good sad title like this:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNtftzGqrmY&feature

  1810. Slowly John says:

    …so cool sound on bb-server!!! big thx to admin!!!

  1811. Slowly John says:

    Happy New Year @All!!!
    @Biondo: a nice picture, thx.

  1812. Wiskey says:

    I said that already, Happy New Year.

  1813. Wiskey says:

    Thank @spi. Happy New Year to all

  1814. SAPE says:

    Happy New Year all! 🙂

  1815. Mope says:

    Biondo, great work at BallerBude header! Happy New Year all!

  1816. SAPE says:

    Thanx @spi. Thanx everything. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🙂

  1817. Biondo says:

    Yes, it was an exciting and contrasted year, for fragging and for all of us.
    Thanks @spi for your appreciation, happy new year to you and long live fragging!

  1818. Mope says:

    Thanx, @spi! Your and Doc’s work is incredible, thanks to you BB is the best SG server in the universe! Wish you a happy New Year!

  1819. @spi says:

    hey folks, i have to say something resumed 2011, cause its near to the new year !

    *LAME* clan grow up, and all members are proved, realy honest and trustable ! thanx to you guys, mope/beast/zap/whisky/grey/jesse/JJY/slow and sarah … (only one girl in the crowd ?)

    …….thanx for playing on BB !!!

    for me it was a contrast bath of feelings about the projekt … internal called “fragging game server”

    system runs stable after portation early past year, but without the guys on my side (DOC/BIONDO) it was not possible for me to keep this service runnig with such a high quality !

    so … thanx to DOC and BIONDO ! i love you mates !

    i wish all of you the best for 2012, and please ….
    think of me, while drinking the last nip of your glass and fall down in coma !

    regards @spi

  1820. Sarah says:

    Oh dear!! There is no love in the air between me and Stone 🙂

    He is a very strange and offensive player. After a while of playing sg we started talking as he is also from England. At first he is nice and then he turns nasty, constantly giving insults. Stone is very obsessive with me when he believes I am a girl and very horrible when he thinks I am a man.

    I try not to talk to him now, just to clear that up 🙂

    • GREYMAN says:

      ” Love is in the air….” 😀 😀
      Nice wording Sarah! I like it very well! 🙂

  1821. GREYMAN says:

    I agree wich you guys in theme STONE.
    The names I do not know. I played with him a few times. After the first game (map fort, he win wich 2 or 3 frag) i congratulated , and he told me : “Eat that Lame” It was very very friendly….. This is not Lame spirit!
    But since then, it was not offensive to me. I was surprised at his application.
    I vote: NO! in every second. 🙂

  1822. SAPE says:

    Very good games. Thanx.
    Nice to see you here Sarah. 🙂

  1823. JippiJaYeah says:

    Great match with very good enemies.

  1824. Biondo says:

    What a pity, Sarah. It was fun.
    GG, Grey, you started very well.

    GG all of course.

  1825. Sarah says:

    I’m not at home tonight so unfortunately I cant play 🙁 sorry.

    Hope you have a good game and happy new year to all of the *LAME* Clan 🙂

  1826. GREYMAN says:

    This was very fun! Nice Game! GG all! 🙂
    @John: Happy New Year for you too! Am naachtsten mal wirst du da sein. 🙂

  1827. JippiJaYeah says:

    Don’t be fooled by star. The player star (not registered ) was first seen at 28.12. 00:55 directly after the player star/loner (registered ) has his last game.

    • Biondo says:

      There are many Star players. I don’t want to loose my time on Stone, but be sure he is JadeRunner, *AmoureuX, and also played with the alias STAR and many many others, changing his installation frequently.

      Stop loosing time with him, he is not interesting, IMO.

  1828. Slowly John says:

    nice photo 🙂 …sorry, i cannot go online at the next few
    hours… there is a little family-meeting.
    … i wish all a good fight today and a happy new year for
    any premature year-changer here!!!

  1829. Wiskey says:

    Happy new year Zapa and Jesse

  1830. JippiJaYeah says:

    I don’t know if i could be there.
    @Mope: Hehe, now i know what you look like. 🙂

  1831. JesseJames says:

    Also thanks Greyman I will give you a bit feedback if I play a bit.
    And very nice picture mope! very funny 🙂

  1832. Biondo says:

    @SlowlyJohn and @Sarah: as you know, to play in Terra Nova you have to use Smokin’ Guns version 1.1b4. If you need it, you can find files and instructions here: http://bb.game-host.org/update/

    You can also download all new maps (ftp://ftp.loop8.net/smokinguns/smokinguns/) to avoid of having to wait for map downloading in game.

  1833. GREYMAN says:

    Happy New Year Jesse and Zap!
    / remember whiskey, champagne, wine….. 🙂 /
    @jesse: i wish you good practice with your bow!

  1834. Biondo says:

    Thanks for reminder, Sape (and Mope, haha, nice photo 😀 ).

  1835. SAPE says:

    Of course. Thanx Mope. 🙂

  1836. Mope says:

    Sape, I’ve made a little funny pic addition to your post… Do you approve it?

  1837. SAPE says:

    Happy New Year Zap and Jesse.

  1838. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo, JippiJaYeah: BIG THX!!

    i can receive mails from your server. here are my result:

    https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aoPM3k4b3lM/Tvx5FrxQNoI/AAAAAAAAACY/zLwTtpv5FPU/s912/newmails.gif

    thx, greetings & see u soon
    john

  1839. ZaPaTa says:

    Yeah, hopefully Slowly and Sarah join. We’re on a trip but we will be back in 2012 to show some skills 🙂

    Cheers and a happy NY!!!

  1840. JesseJames says:

    ZaPaTa and I can’t play today because we go on a little vacation :). And testing my bow ;).
    But have fun and have a nice score everyone!.
    And I hope that Sarah and John find the way to terra nova.

  1841. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Sape it looks an interesting site.

  1842. SAPE says:

    @Jesse, I suggest a homepage:

    http://belgianarchery.free-boards.net/

    I think there are lots useful informations. There is a Hungarian Archery Forum, and I learned and learn a lot to oldest/experienced archers.

  1843. SAPE says:

    Hmm….
    I talked with Biondo about Stone some weeks ago. I hade a feeling that Stone = Jaderunner… Same game style, same offensive language, same tricks.

    AND

    JadeRunner = *AmoureuX = .::.JaKe::. = :.:BRI:.: = STAR
    It is interesting.

    • JesseJames says:

      Oh is their love in the air, between STone alias JadeRunner = *AmoureuX = .::.JaKe::. = :.:BRI:.: = STAR and Sarah 😀

      Oh i didn’t know that he was the same person like JadeRunner he asked also to join our clan?

  1844. JippiJaYeah says:

    Ok, i have tried everything with wordpress and plugins without any results. So the last one simple solution for a while is to use the email forwarding from my email provider. For John and Sarah a forwarding is now activate. This must work!

  1845. Stone says:

    Dear Lame Clan
    I have to tell you i have struggled with the turn down of being in your clan. But i think rules are rules. i just hope when you brake them that your conscience is strong enough to make you full fill your rules and resign.
    when asked on an exam how many people brake the highway code rules on the road some said 20- 40 -70, but in fact 100% of people brake the highway code.
    you have a code lets hope you never ever brake that code!!
    thank you for putting up with me.
    kind regards
    Stone
    ps.
    Sarah you are and always will be my friendXX

  1846. Biondo says:

    Again @Jippi: You have spent hours trying to solve this problem (more than me) and I really appreciate your efforts. Thank you <3

    I've searched in Internet, I made my tries too, but now I'm too tired to follow you, at least tonight. Maybe tomorrow one of us will have a flash of inspiration.

    Thank you.

  1847. Biondo says:

    @Jippi:

    No I can’t clone it. All permission I have you have too. We are all peers, all administrators with the same privileges.

    I can’t clone a member, because user’s email has to be unique.

    Also this won’t solve any problem.

    No. Maybe we’ll find a solution, but today I’m skeptic. Or it is an Altervista problem or it is a WordPress problem. WordPress was born as simple blog system, it was not intended as system with 10 administrators (and this is the reason why we need a plugin for email notifications). I suppose there is a structural problem.

    I have to add that the plugin we are/were using in not updated since more than 1 year, and that the developers haven’t answered to requests of help since months. I don’t see it easy.

    Advice to webdevelopers: if you have to use a CMS for a site, use Drupal (not WordPress).

    I chose WP because I loved it, but now I’m starting to see all its limits.

  1848. JippiJaYeah says:

    This means that we have to watch for old cheaters again.

    • Biondo says:

      Not exactly. Old cheaters, will not cheat again in Baller, because there is anti-cheat system. And, after 2 years they are probably still playing again with different names and under new identities.

      No system is perfect.

  1849. JippiJaYeah says:

    I saw today that mope can’t connect to ballerbude, because he was banned of backlist ip.

    Is there any solution for him?

    @edit: mope told me, you unbanned him.

    • Biondo says:

      I already unbanned him, since he contacted me in Jabber 🙂 Thank you, Jippi.

      It was an auto-ban based on IP address. It means that somebody with the same (or similar) address –that is banned for severe reasons– tried to connect to BallerBude again and again.
      In this case a whole range of IP addresses get banned, and sometimes also innocent players. It’s an extreme situation, that it’s no desirable.

      The last time I’ve meet TheDoctor online he told me he wants to unban all bad players (cheaters mainly) that were banned 2 years ago, because their ban penalizes innocent players. I agreed.

      It’s not a perfect world.

      Sorry Mope for this “collateral damage” that I haven’t designed.

      • Mope says:

        Thank you, Biondo, my savior! You’ve solved this problem so quickly, that I even haven’t missed a day without SG.

  1850. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: you are a lucky man!!! very nice area!!! yes i see, if i drive, i drive about austria, down to italy, and under austria is padua, …but ca. 350km from genua… a “little”, but a very nice detour 🙂
    goooooood night my friends

  1851. Slowly John says:

    @JippiJaYeah: aaah ok, i understand and i am very glad
    that you and Biondo help me!!
    …now it is time to sleep for me, – tomorrow i will go online
    again. best greetings & a good night, your john

  1852. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: yes me too! ok paris is a nice travel target, but italy also! it is pitty, i was not in both countrys, …but in greece 7x and i can say, i am a realy fan of mediteran area. my dream is (far in future) a long time car-travel along the cost from genua to barcelona and back:
    maybe this route, but near to sea: http://goo.gl/TD2TS

    …i have 3 new (same) mails from jippijayeah_testaccount (21:15, 21:24, 21:30):

    BIG THX!!! i think it works now!!!

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      thx, John

      Sorry, but this works not really, because i used you email address with my account. It seems that this work!

    • Biondo says:

      @Slowly: your programmed route is far away from my town (Padua = Padova) 🙁
      hehe, we’ll meet together in your next route 😉

      @Jippi: maybe it works. I also got the same 3 notifications in that period of time (21:15, 21:24, 21:30) 🙂

  1853. Biondo says:

    @Jippi, I blocked search engines:

    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/options-privacy.php?settings-updated=true

    So you have all the time to to try disabling WordPress Access Control.

  1854. Biondo says:

    @Slowly: in Italy we don’t eat duck so frequently, but I love it. I cooked it also last week. I’d like to live in Paris to eat duck every single day of my life 🙂

  1855. Biondo says:

    @Jippi, @John: he got 3 mails… looking at accounts that posted and at hours/times, I can’t find a rule… they seem random email notifications. I can’t find a solution, all I can suppose is that this has something to do with Altervista. I hope that when we’ll migrate to Mercurius’s server the problem will disappear.

    • jippijayeah_testaccount says:

      It’s curious!!!

      I add another user, generate a new email account – didn’t work.
      I use the new email account with my old user account jippijayeah – this works.
      I use my old user email jippijayeah with the new user account – didn’t work.

      This all makes no sense. Maybe there is something wrong with the user access control.

      • Biondo says:

        This is possible, Jippi. It is possible that another plugin causes the problem. You can try disabling it, it’s called “WordPress Access Control”. Of course, when it is disabled all private posts/pages/comments are visible to the world (Google and Google Cache included). But I think you can try, just for 5-10 minutes.

  1856. Slowly John says:

    …addendum: “Heinz Meyer” has changed his name on google-account to “Slowly John”, and also on his google+ profil and picasa… and so on 🙂

  1857. Slowly John says:

    i look… here are only the 3 mails on foto again…

  1858. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: the duck was nice & crispy 🙂

  1859. Slowly John says:

    to first – thx for your help!!!!
    ok, i have only 3 mails receive, here my mailfolder:
    https://picasaweb.google.com/111998285801962540210/28Dezember2011?authkey=Gv1sRgCN31wtXdh6WmFQ#5691259698412176578

    john

    ps: “heinz meyer” on picasa is not my real name,
    it is my pseudonym for uac9999 [at] googlemail [dot] com.
    google want a name 😉

  1860. JippiJaYeah says:

    Today he ask me with new name “star” again.

  1861. Biondo says:

    I wrote to Sarah and she confirms that she haven’t had any notifications since her account was created.

    Waiting for a solution, I sent to her the links:
    Posts: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/edit.php
    Pages: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
    Comments: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/edit-comments.php

  1862. Biondo says:

    Jippi, are you sure you opened the Settings menu (clicking the small arrow on the right of the title “Settings”)? Yes, of course you have… but maybe you haven’t reload the page.

    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Schermata-2.png

  1863. Biondo says:

    I can’t understand why it doesn’t work for new users automatically 🙁

    You CAN edit WP Mail Options settings, but don’t follow the link “Settings” in the plugin list (it is broken). Follow the link on the left column: Settings –> WP Mail Options (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-mail-options).

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Possible that there are two different methods for sending the first email for new users and automatically emails.

  1864. Biondo says:

    I’ve just created a new user with a tin.it address (and all notifications’ checkboxes checked). When I post a comment I receive the notification in my old gmail box, but not in this new tin.it. So it doesn’t work.

    I see you have installed WP Mail Options… but you haven’t configured its settings.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      So, you get your message over your gmail account.
      But why doesn’t worked it for new users automatically?

      I can’t edit WP Mail Options, because i got this message ”
      You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

  1865. Biondo says:

    For me it works 🙂 Don’t know for Slowly, maybe send him a email to ask (or wait).

    What have you done Jippi?

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Did you get your messages via gmail or tin.it email account?

      I think, it didn’t work. I add a new user with a gmail account. I receive the welcome message, but after that, i don’t get any messages. That’s strange!!

  1866. JippiJaYeah says:

    It is working for everyone now?

  1867. Biondo says:

    Sorry, I can’t find a way to make “WP Mail SMTP” work with our site. Now I deactivated it. Jippi, if you want to try it you have to reactivate it.

  1868. JippiJaYeah says:

    Maybe there is a problem with the plugin “Email Alerts”.

    @Biondo: Alternative you can try the plugin “WP Mail SMTP”?

    • Biondo says:

      Nice Jippi, really useful help, this is what I planned to do!

      I can make 2 hypothesis:

      1– Altervista blocks outgoing emails, when their number exceeds a given preset (but until now I wasn’t able to find anything about this)

      2– “Email alerts” is broken. So I wanted to try “WP Mail SMTP”.

      When you registered in Google to get stats, did you get an email account that we can use for this purpose (I’m too lazy for search now, and also few time available)?

  1869. ZaPaTa says:

    Ignoring request by comments on our pages from (most) other players in the future, i suggest (speaking like Yoda now :D).
    Completely agree with you on the No off course.
    We recruit, we don’t do requests no more.

    • Biondo says:

      Yoda’s talk ignores phrase syntax, it seems 🙂

      In any case, I think I’ve understood what you said. I trashed players’ requests from our Contact page comments.

  1870. Biondo says:

    @Slowly: until now, no success 🙁
    It seems that new administrators don’t get email notifications (I’ve tested this creating a new administrator “Slowly John Jr.).

    I’ll look at the problem later, now I have to go.

  1871. Slowly John says:

    —no mail-respond again—
    (…ignore is not easy for me)
    🙂 🙂 🙂
    dear Biondo, i will go eating (a crispy duck on a later
    xmas-lunch), near my hometown, for the next few hours…
    and maybe i come later at home and online. my answer-
    email/text can be need a little time. greetings, john

  1872. Slowly John says:

    Welcome Sarah!

  1873. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: yes, that is a good idea and we can write us a mail (uac9999 [at] googlemail [dot] com), if my account are down. big thx for your nice help, john

  1874. GREYMAN says:

    Big welcome Sarah! 🙂

  1875. JesseJames says:

    On this moment I’am a 0 in shooting 🙂 so I would learn everything in the next months, years. 🙂

  1876. GREYMAN says:

    Good choice Jesse! The bow is great weapon!
    Archery Cancellations: almost anyone can shoot firearms, but with bow only a few. 🙂
    Welcome to archery sites! 😀

    @Zapata: It’s my fault. I did it for the first archer clip from Lajos Kassai 🙂

  1877. Biondo says:

    I answered to Stone in the most politely way I could.
    Don’t be moved by his tone, every bad-behaving player uses that tone when he has to ask for something after he was discovered.

    I haven’t answered to the question regarding his muted condition. I can’t answer as BB’s admin in this blog. Anyway, tomorrow (or the day after tomorrow) he will be able to talk.

  1878. JesseJames says:

    that is clear :p
    This evening he have also a mutate,…

  1879. SAPE says:

    I agree. NO.

  1880. Biondo says:

    No, let’s think another second… NO!

    He is an offensive player, and he had always been also under previous aliases. Nothing personal against him, but he doesn’t fit our rules.

  1881. Slowly John says:

    @All: …it is pitty, i have none email notification,
    even with my new mail-adress… . i have check,
    the spam-folder on my googlemail is empty and ok.
    is there any another idea for that little technical
    mistake? best greetings, john

    • Biondo says:

      Hmm… the problem is worst than what I thought. Let me think… We have to find a solution.
      Eventually I’ll delete your account and make a new account for you.

  1882. JippiJaYeah says:

    Lets think a second: NO! 😉

  1883. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo, thx for your great help and
    your good answer. i understand, it was
    only such a idea
    🙂
    best greetings & a nice evening, john

  1884. JesseJames says:

    Hehe SAPE you have a six sense? 🙂 HMM what will we say to him?

  1885. SAPE says:

    BINGO! He wants to be Lame clan member. eheh

  1886. Stone says:

    Great theme to the clan, interview members and making this more that just a game. we are at the end of the day real people with real lives. but i think as would most of the clan, that we are brought together through the game into a world of virtual lives. i think Lame clan are the most positive, dedicated people on sg that ive meet. thank you for you interviews and sharing your lives with the outside world.
    kind regards
    Stone

  1887. SAPE says:

    Zap, Biondo, I absolutely agree. I just try to give some information. The way, that XOP clan decide is false.

  1888. ZaPaTa says:

    Just a small piece of advice, stay friendly. If you don’t you will be the one who makes mistakes. For example the XOP blog…I think it is not done to publish comments/talks just to make a player look like a fool. Keep it discreet.

    • Biondo says:

      OK, Zapa (our wise man) 🙂

      I want to stay friendly and keep calm, but looking at logs he insisted insulting about 10 times in a row. I had to mute him for 2-3 days. But if he insists, I’ll ban him for 1 week or more.

      There is also the problem that I am a *LAME* but also BB’s admin (this is just one of the reasons why I’d like to remove old comments from “Contact” page).

      About XOP blog: I don’t appreciate the way they publish private discussions that took place in game. It looks like a sort of mobbing. Privacy is a value, and they don’t respect it. I never thought of copying&pasting STONE’s insults here.

      Good advice.

  1889. SAPE says:

    XOP is exist. Stone was excluded from the XOP clan, because he was unfair and offensive.

  1890. JesseJames says:

    Wow this guy is really good. 🙂

  1891. JesseJames says:

    Hehe indeed ZaPaTa and I played a few times this week against him and he asked how he can become a friendly and good player. 🙂
    And yes he was friendly, but I think he is an offensive player if I read all this posts.
    I didn’t know that Xop doesn’t exist anymore.

  1892. SAPE says:

    Archery: practice, practice and practice. 😉

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQiiGyayP1s

  1893. SAPE says:

    Yep, all right. I agree of course.
    Stone is a fallen XOP member (XOPl[LIONTAMER]). He have never forgotten it.
    I think LONER not just mean lonely.
    LONER= xop LiONtamER.

  1894. Biondo says:

    Of course there is no place for STONE in our clan.

    I think we should also delete old comments from the page Contact http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/contact to make it more clean.

  1895. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I played against Stone yesterday. He is tried to be so kind… He is an offensive player so I think he has some reason to make it: Jesse, I think he will send a mail in the future, he wants to join.

  1896. SAPE says:

    Welcome Sarah! 🙂

  1897. JesseJames says:

    Hehe ZaPaTa it’s the most wonderfull gift ever, and we will test it this vacation. 🙂

    Also Tnx to SAPE with your massive movies and so.

  1898. ZaPaTa says:

    A girl in our clan! Damn, I have to shave and clean up the mess in my house and put on a new jacket 😀

    Cheers, and welcome Sarah!

    • GREYMAN says:

      @Zap: Not a big deal I live with three women. Gladly give you advice! 😀 😀
      But, i think you need it not. 🙂

  1899. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you Biondo! I do not know what to say ….
    I am very happy for our development. Again, thank you.
    🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Thanks to you Grey, Mope, Jesse, all… but they were just 3-4 miserable Euros 🙂
      Have fun!

  1900. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yeaha, what a list, we got all the nice members. 🙂

  1901. Wiskey says:

    Welcome Sarah. Nice to see some female member.

  1902. Slowly John says:

    Thank you Biondo!!!

    i read the question from ZaPaTa. i do not know,
    are you a friend from google-systems? i have
    not a problem with google and for a while i lead
    a privat group on google groups:
    https://groups.google.com/
    and i think also the google-site-system can be
    very useful for web-communications like a easy
    content-management-system.
    https://sites.google.com/
    or both systems embedded for one private clan-
    project. i dont know your clan-requirements to a
    webspace. but google is maybe a idea for a
    free, easy and stable system with a lot of options… ?
    have a nice evening, john

    • Biondo says:

      Slowly, I have nothing against Google (or almost nothing), that is not the problem. We can also choose to be hosted by WordPress.com (since our site is built upon WordPress.org, they have a good service, maybe better than Google. Otherwise they won’t be the 1.st in this field) but with that kind of hosting you have no power on your hands (until you decide to pay). One for all, you can’t use your custom theme (=style, = template). They decide for you.

      They (Google Sites, WordPress.com) are the first level among the hosting services that one can choose. The second level is free hosting services where you can ALMOST do what you want (like this… Altervista, until you have to pay for space or bandwith). The third level is a paid hosting (we can’t afford this). The fourth level is a “personal” hosting, like that on Mercurius’s server.
      We are waiting for this. 🙂

      Note: WordPress.ORG is a Free software to build sites (the software we are using now). WordPress.COM is a hosting service (free or not, depending on your needs).

  1903. Biondo says:

    OK, at 19:25, the 26th of December 2011, Sarah officially joins the clan.

    Thank you Sarah, and welcome!

  1904. ZaPaTa says:

    Biondo, that was pure luck! Amazing! Giotto is just a very great influence in my own way of thinking on illustration (the way he puts different scenes together, or the way he works with the inside and the outside of his settings – very much linked with medieval mysticism.) He’s also an influence for video-artist Bill Viola, who is also working on the medieval mystics.

    If you’re from Padua Giotto must be something of a local/national hero? Also, I once read a book on the struggle/competition between cities, measured by it’s artists. Padua has a very rich and competitive history in Italian Renaissance if I remember that book fine enough?
    Must be great to be surrounded with such great art, especially Giotto. If I got it right, you just walk around the corner, enters a chapel and sees a free Giotto on the wall? Insane, all art here hangs in museums, after World War 2 no original art staid on its original place…

    • Biondo says:

      Yes Giotto is a sort of local hero here, but it’s not so simple to see his frescos, you know there are conservation problems that require limiting the number of tourists entering the Scrovegni Chapel. But it ‘s true Giotto, Mantegna, Donatello … Padua (Padova in Italian) had a rich artistic life in past times. I’m not an expert of ancient art, but in some way I lived with it since my infantry.
      Bill Viola, when I saw his installations at Venice’s Biennale around 20 years ago, I was totally fascinated. But next I haven’t followed his work since then.

      Come an visit Padua … and next continue to Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, Messina 🙂

  1905. ZaPaTa says:

    Great, now Jesse knows how much I have spend for his gift 😀
    Thanks to SAPE off course, the idea came out of these crazy youtubeclips you’ve posted here.

  1906. ZaPaTa says:

    Awesome Biondo! You were sure there were no other options for larger, free hosting?

    • Biondo says:

      @Zapa, no I’m not sure. Free hosting offer is confusing, but for what I can see you can’t find anything better of Altervista for free.
      So I want to migrate to Mercurius’s server, but it seems we weren’t able to have a fast communication between us, until now…
      Question … (1 week) … answer … (1 week) … another question … (1 week) … another answer … (1 week) … LOL

      In any case, I spent just 3-4 Euros, not my whole savings 😉

      @Sape, don’t make pressure on him, I already wrote to him…

  1907. SAPE says:

    Thanx Biondo. Great.
    I will make some pressure on Mercurius. But just gentle… 🙂 You know my personality. 😉

  1908. JesseJames says:

    Wow Biondo thanks! A great christmaspresent. 🙂

  1909. Mope says:

    Thanks a lot, Biondo! A present for all of the members! It’s really makes me happy to see how’s the blog thriving and developing!

  1910. Mope says:

    Welcome to the clan, Sarah! Happy you’ve joined us!

  1911. SAPE says:

    GREAT NEWS!
    🙂

  1912. JesseJames says:

    You can buy it in Belgium so it’s not illegal :), it’s for in your garden. I think it’s illegal to walk with your bow in the street. 🙂

  1913. JippiJaYeah says:

    It is allowed to use it in public?
    Looks interesting but i don’t know it possible in Germany?

  1914. JesseJames says:

    Hooraay nice christmas present :),
    OK now we do a bit a feminist, not so rude anymore 🙂

    • SAPE says:

      Yep. Good choice. If you become better, I will help you buying a faster bow. (One of my friend is make the best traditional bows in Europe).

  1915. JippiJaYeah says:

    Nice!!! We need some flowers now. 😉

  1916. Biondo says:

    Good news! Sarah will join the clan. Frank is not sure.

    I’m waiting for an email that Sarah will send to me tomorrow, so be ready to give her a BIG welcome in clan!

    The clan is growing giant. Hehe.

  1917. Biondo says:

    I’ve been away all day, and when I came back I had to go with one of my cats to the veterinary (at 18:00 of Christmas day!). Fortunately nothing bad.

    So, again … Merry Christmas to you all! And thanks to all, Jesse, Zapa, Sape, Mope, Wiskey, Jippi, Grey!!, Slowly … Santa said it: “Let’s make some noise” and we did it with “Dueling banjos”. But we also added a little bit of snow 😉

  1918. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: ahh, realy, i be happy, here are wonderful artists, musicians, designer and art lover… realy good, and all it
    with a good piece heart and fun, my taste!

    @SAPE: “Dueling Banjos” so niiiice!!!! thx for your good song & movie tipp!! i dont know not this film and not hear this song befor your entry

  1919. GREYMAN says:

    Great! It is snow! 😀
    Biondo the magician!!!!
    I very like it. Winter is my favorite season. If you do not have the snow fall on our web site at least it is snowing.

    Thank you Biondo, the Christmas is complete for me!
    😀 😀 😀
    Nice pictures Biondo and Zapata!
    Sape have the Hungarian Christmas customs nicely demonstrated. I can not do more. 🙂

  1920. SAPE says:

    🙂
    Indeed great gift.
    What type?

  1921. JesseJames says:

    Haha the present of ZaPaTa for me was a bow and an arrow. 🙂
    Great gift Zapa !

    Sape maybe you have a few tricks to learn archery? You are the man for such things, you know 🙂

  1922. Wiskey says:

    Interesting. 2 city from Finland. Before I joined to LAME clan I think that that clan is odd for people, because we play only in BB. I am surprised that we are still so famous. Good work Jippi.

  1923. SAPE says:

    @Biondo: If you like that, I think you like it too:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APl9fRFmdC0

    🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Nice Sape, you won again!
      And nice banjo video linked…

      What I love of the “Dueling Banjos” is that they start soo slow, they are stressing for the first minute, so slow and so many “errors”, they never decide to really start the music, but then something happens and the miracle is there. Wow.

      If you have also seen the movie, you know that the image (in the movie) totally corresponds to the music, with that “lame” boy, so sad, inexpressive and hesitant at the beginning of the playing duel, and so happy, so genius, so confident in the end.

      This is how an SG player should feel: sad, inexpressive and hesitant at the beginning of his gaming career, and happy, genius, confident in the end.

      🙂

  1924. SAPE says:

    I just see the quiz. Yep: Deliverance (1972)

  1925. SAPE says:

    Great!

  1926. Biondo says:

    Well, I hate animations and background musics in sites (it’s sooo lame), but just for a couple of days…

    Have fun: you can link to a different mp3 here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/widgets.php

    – Open the widget “Simple music” on the right
    – Paste your mp3 URL
    – Save

    Please do not upload mp3 to this site (we have few space left), just link to an external mp3.

  1927. JesseJames says:

    And now there is music :). Wonderful!

  1928. Biondo says:

    hehe, magic!

  1929. JesseJames says:

    Wow it’s snowing on the lameclan site. 🙂
    How did you do that?

  1930. Biondo says:

    Slowly, I don’t really know where Doc found that music, he made it all alone. Hehe, fun music, he never misses a shot!

  1931. Slowly John says:

    thank you to all to all strong & friendly fighters here!
    and mery xmassssssssss

    @SAPE: that is great to hear!!!!

  1932. Slowly John says:

    thank you Biondo & merry merry xmas @all!!! very beautiful pictures!!! who make the sound on http://bb.game-host.org/ ? …that is also realy nice!

  1933. JesseJames says:

    nice nativity scene Biondo, we know this also in Belgium, but we don’t make him self but buy him 🙂
    And we have also large nativity scene in the city’s with real sheep, donkey,….

  1934. ZaPaTa says:

    Beautiful nativity scene, real masterpiece. Enough reason for me to come over to Naples and buy myself a DIY kit 🙂
    Speaking of nativity scenes, personally I find the paitings out of the Italian Renaissance the most beautiful pieces in this theme.
    This one is from Giotto.
    Giotto Nativity

    • Biondo says:

      Giotto, Scenes from the Life of Christ: Nativity: Birth of Jesus 1304-06, at Cappella Scrovegni (Arena Chapel) in Padua.

      It’s in my town! Hehe, did you know, Zapa?

  1935. @spi says:

    merry christmas also from me to all,
    don´t drink tomuch tonight 😉

    @spi

  1936. Biondo says:

    @Jesse: yes there is the tradition of the Christmas Tree, but also the more ancient tradition to build nativity scenes (those made in Naples are real masterpieces).

    This my nativity scene, all built with my hands (apart from men/women figures):

    @Mope: Santa has no money this year because of economic crisis; see how sad skinny emaciated he is. Just a dynamite to explode in the face of someone I know 😉

    • SAPE says:

      @Biondo: We called the “native scene”: “Betlehem”.
      There is a little village in Hungary called Vörs. In this village there is the biggest Betlehem I’ve ever seen. It is 50 square-meter.

      Here is a video:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUCuqTqf3gs&feature=related

      It is Hungarian tradition too: there are Betlehems in every village and town.

      • Biondo says:

        @Sape: nice! In Italy is called “presepe” or “presepio”. Search “presepe napoletano” in Google images or youtube.

  1937. Mope says:

    Merry Christmas to all you guys from Holy Land. We’re celebrating Hanukkah here, but I totally feel the Christmas atmosphere in the air! If you see Santa, tell him I’ve been a good boy this year, please.

  1938. SAPE says:

    Yep, there is a tree in the house in Hungary too. The process of the celebration and the background are the same as in Italy or in Belgium.

  1939. JesseJames says:

    In Belgium we celebrate also the birth of Jesus Christ, and that with the family.
    This evening we celebrate it also with the closest family , like ZaPaTa 😉 and that with a dinner, a lot of gifts (BTW zapa I have a nice gift for you 😉 ) and music.
    BTW is their also a tradition in Italy, and other LAME countries that you put a tree in your house?

  1940. GREYMAN says:

    WOW nice work! Thank you Jippi! 🙂

  1941. ZaPaTa says:

    Merry Christmas all. What exactly are you celebrating tonight. Just a questions because or faith is different amongst some of us…?

    • Biondo says:

      In Italy, tomorrow, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, of course. But the celebrations start tonight in many families with a rich dinner and, for somebody, with a religious celebration that starts at 24:00.

  1942. ZaPaTa says:

    A Merry Christmas to you all and nice to see you made up your mind SAPE. Thanks for staying with us (this counts for all) during the year, up to next and even better LAME year…

    Amazing about the interview. I had the same idea yesterday-evening, but I was not planning of proposing it, since it could put some pressure back on…

    Nice to see you picked up the tread of the interviews. Go!

  1943. Wiskey says:

    Merry Christmas and happy new year to all

  1944. ZaPaTa says:

    I took me some time before I noticed the Comments button in top of the screen once you are logged-in. It’s a very usefull way of exploring the latest comments or new pages by all members.

    Also, a very usefull tool of working with a Jabber account is the free software called Trillian. It combines your Jabber account together with other services. Just a humble tip.

    And Welcome in our clan.

  1945. SAPE says:

    Perfect. Great work Biondo.

  1946. SAPE says:

    Nice. 🙂
    Ty Jippi. Great work.

  1947. JesseJames says:

    Wow indeed very interesting 🙂 if you look at the top city it is Padova! 🙂
    also a Wow if you look who is looking for our site in which part of the world. Europe, US, China, India a little part of Africa, Australia,… Very nice. We are well know in the whole world! :p
    and 50000 pageviews is incredible. Just like the stats for the weapons of SAPE and Grey.
    It’s also good that 50% returns to the site, it will say that we have a good balance of interesting pages.

  1948. JesseJames says:

    Indeed Welcome back SAPE ;).
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb2YSAVHmIE (War is over John Lennon 😀 )

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhkX2mjl9Qk

  1949. JesseJames says:

    Ok I have read the page, I’am totally agree with you BIondo and I didn’t deleted anything.

  1950. JesseJames says:

    Hahah BOOOM!
    Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! pssst boom (firework)

  1951. GREYMAN says:

    LOL! Thank you Biondo! Merry Christmas! 🙂

  1952. Biondo says:

    😀 I see myself mirrored in your eyes, Sape!

    Welcome back and Merry Christmas!

  1953. SAPE says:

    My brothers, I made a mistake. Now I try to remedy it.
    I stay with you boys.
    Jippi, I made the trouble, I can correct it, but I need your help.
    I have an idea. The stress between us is dissolved, if we work together I think. So I like to make an interview with you if you agree with it. What is your opinion?

    Merry Christmas!

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Hey, this make us and me happy. 🙂
      So, let’s forget it!
      Of course, a interview is welcome. Would be interesting now.

      @Greyman: Thanks for you explanation about the Hungarians feelings. This will help me to understand your country.

      @All: It’s bad that we can sit together in a comfortable round with some wine, whiskey, beer.

  1954. Mope says:

    Wow, very interesting information, Jippi. And.. I must admit that you’re very patient person. How did you manage not to tell about this from September?

  1955. Wiskey says:

    Merry Christmas to all

  1956. JippiJaYeah says:

    Your last word are true.

    I don’t have a overview of the hole statics from Google analytics.
    I leave the site four month alone.

  1957. Biondo says:

    Ty, Jippi.

    If you click on Locations: Italy is at the 1st place (together with Hungary: Sape + Greyman). LOL. It’s me 😀

    Nobody sees our site, apart from us, search engines bots, @spi and Dike.

    And all new visitors are looking for “Old West” weapons (Greyman’s and Sape’s pages: https://www.google.com/analytics/web/#report/trafficsources-overview/a25610606w49740595p50277353/). This is the truth.

    Also in this case… stats are evil. Never let them the power to decide what you have to do.

  1958. Biondo says:

    Maybe a good idea. But I see it in German language, don’t know where to change date range, and how to read it.

    Anyway, this is a more realistic stat than WP stats and Altervista stats.
    Maybe it slows our site site speed, but it is more realistic.

  1959. Biondo says:

    Have you noticed it?
    We all are debating about war/peace, religious celebrations, affects… important themes.. and we are all around Sape’s deathbed.
    Sape, this means that we love you. Not only in game, but in someway in real life. You represent one of the multiple Lame’s souls.
    Stay with us.

  1960. GREYMAN says:

    @Jippi: The Hungarians are coming soon rage, stubborn, tough and resourceful, not smart! But faithful to the end to which they want and also cool down quickly.
    A famous saying of the national hero: Szalmaláng a magyar!
    this present: The Hungarians are easily fast furious enthusiasm, but soon it is dormant and lose their enthusiasm.

    You said, you worked with the Hungarians together, but did not know them too well in the spiritual world. This might help us understand. 🙂
    Biondo have right!
    Tomorrow on Christmas Eve! Sleep on it a couple guys, celebrate with family, drinking a whiskey ect. Let’s get back to this after the holidays.
    I wish everyone a PEACEFUL merry Christmas! 😀

    • Biondo says:

      Merry Christmas to you Grey, to SlowlyJohn and to all players that can’t be with us tomorrow. Have a nice time with your parents/serpents and see you here after this big (consumerist) feast. 🙂
      OMG, Biondo, you are so cynical.

  1961. ZaPaTa says:

    SAPE! Incredible poem, i love it! beautiful.

  1962. Wiskey says:

    What I can say? I hope that you cancel your decision, but I don’t understand you. It seems that Jippi is reason for your behave. Can you explain why? Hope you still think accurately your decision.

  1963. Slowly John says:

    ok, i have a fresh mail-adress integrated: uac9999 [at] googlemail [dot] com and i hope i become now all mail notifications… thx again! & best regards, john

  1964. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: many thanks to you, i will done this
    and open a new email adress, maybe on google
    but in the next days. i think gmx is to sensitive
    🙂

    @JippiJaYeah: hm, i become no email-notification
    again. i have the gmx whitelist activate with
    lameclan, but nothing. i think i make what Biondo
    says, a new mailaccount. magdeburg is my hometown
    and yes i like also the sixties 🙂 …i am also proud.
    all early original cultur and art is my favorite and
    less the copies and coverversions. (ok, there are
    exceptions) … that is the reason that it is not easy
    for me, to understand the newest art, also if i
    want.

    @JesseJames: yeah, doom, i know every room
    like my home 😀 i lived in the dark world of
    doom with computer and without, many years. i
    have in real life training hard like doom and
    so… in 1995, i wanted a upper arm “UAC” Tattoo!
    luckily!! – i did not do it. but ok, i was young.
    the first letterst in my mailadress uac9999 [at] gmx [dot] de
    are a relict from the old doom-days (UAC Labs).
    🙂 🙂 🙂
    the crazy times (i hope realy) are behind me.
    🙂 🙂 🙂
    and now, is here stillness. that is the reason
    because i like more the phrase: “Qui desiderat
    pacem, bellum praeparat” as “Si vis pacem,
    para bellum”

    @all: i wish all friends a nice christmas!!!! maybe
    is it tomorrow impossible for me to answer, because
    my hard christmas-family-round-journey will
    starting 8:00
    🙂
    your john

    YOu never walk alone

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      In Germany we have the GEMA organization for music right. They don’t like music with special music rights on youtube. So i can’t watch it, but i know the song.

  1966. SAPE says:

    “Si vis pacem para bellum!

    Wherever I walk,
    everyone is a little bit safer because I am there.
    Wherever I am,
    anyone in need has a friend.
    Whenever I return home,
    everyone is happy I am there.”

    Warrior Creed, Robert R. Humprey

    Hey, a common point! I am not soldier but I am interesting in it. It would be the first step, wouldn’t it Jippi?

    • Biondo says:

      “Si vis pacem para pacem!” 😉

      • JippiJaYeah says:

        That’s true, but i’m sad that the world need military.

        >>Hey, a common point! I am not soldier but I am

    Open a Gmail account, change your email address with the new one in WordPress (edit your account here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/users.php), and see if you get notifications or not. If you get them in your Gmail account, then it’s probably a problem related to your provider. If not… ???

  1968. JesseJames says:

    hehe indeed :p

  1969. JippiJaYeah says:

    As a soldier. I’m a reserve officer in the army.

  1970. JesseJames says:

    I’am born in 1993 that sounds young 😉

  1971. JesseJames says:

    As a soldier, or another rank, or function?

  1972. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yep, the third time.

  1973. JippiJaYeah says:

    @John: I’m also born in 69 and I’m proud to say it, and not in the 70’s, because this sounds like young. 😉
    May i ask you in which town do you live? I’m form Münster.

  1974. JesseJames says:

    Wow you fight in Afghanistan?

  1975. JesseJames says:

    @John also a good movie is 3:10 to Yuma, a movie from that I know from this forum.

  1976. JippiJaYeah says:

    After google search there is a problem with parsing hotmail accounts and wordpress.

    • Biondo says:

      Jippi, I’m not able to find anything about it, apart from missing Confirmation e-mails (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-post-notification-does-not-parse-in-hotmail-e-mails). But this is not the case, since here is not the confirmation email that is missing, but the new-post/comment notifications.
      If you found more, please give me the link.

      Moreover, we can’t say that notifications don’t work at all for John, because he got them for a while.

      I still think that the problem resides on the provider. Providers have some stupid spam filters sometimes, that are not able to block more than 1% of spam, but are excellent in blocking good emails.

  1977. JippiJaYeah says:

    They were my comrades in Afghanistan this year.

  1978. JesseJames says:

    The mails notification don’t work also for me, but I look every day to the site so I see everything. It’s very strange sometimes I have mails and other days I don’t have mails.

  1979. SAPE says:

    Fight together? Where?

  1980. Slowly John says:

    @JippiJaYeah: thank you, i have done this and now i am tense. good afternoon and see u soon, john

  1981. JippiJaYeah says:

    @John: You use the same email provider. Try to add the whitelist of your provider: wordpress [at] lameclan [dot] altervista [dot] org.
    This helps for me.

  1982. JippiJaYeah says:

    Ok, i couldn’t look deep inside there hearts, but we fight together (very honestly).

  1983. SAPE says:

    They are not native Hungarians I think. 🙂

  1984. Slowly John says:

    @JesseJames: aaah i understand, good, i like
    also more the light and funny view about the
    world and her “significant” things 🙂
    (but of course i respect all views!)

    @GREYMAN: sorry, i know not this movie, but
    i like tom, because he plays very good
    and he has here a very nice german synchron-
    voice. thanks for the tip, if the film is running
    in tv, i would watch. i saw interesting trailer
    on youtube.
    i like also much older movies. some of my my
    favorite timespace are between 1965-1979.
    b-movies, easy rider and so on… but also other
    newer, for example, you know: “Harley Davidson
    and the Marlboro Man”?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fjtOuRRbLk
    …or the old ham “red river”? … i saw the movie last
    week and i think… john wayne is timeless:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00bbRbEN0sg

    best greetings from
    john

    @all: sorry, i become not email-notification. i must
    check manualy the site from time to time and i hope
    (by the much entrys), that i not forget a information
    for me. if i forget anything, please give me a impulse
    on sg or so. 🙂

  1985. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hey, i worked with Hungarians together and they were very comfortable. 😉

  1986. SAPE says:

    I think I need some archery.
    Cu later boys, cu later friends.
    I deliberate my decision. The life is not to easy in a team with Hungarians. 😉

  1987. Slowly John says:

    dear Sape,
    we are friends! so or so, with lame or without! the
    points/status on server are interesting, win or lost
    are interesting, …but, … it is a heartless machine
    & lifeless software and we are human. sg is a great game
    with a very very nice balance between grafic, gameplay
    and story. the most games today (sorry, for me, it think
    so) are high-end-grafic-trash. no story, no essence,
    a short pleasure, more stick on head… 🙂
    i know, you are a very friendly player with heart on
    right place! …and for me is that is all what we need.
    if you come back to lame, i will ever vote for you, if
    not, then we are the same good friends like befor lame.
    …only… , i will miss your nice entrys and your
    beautiful fotos here!
    …my unsolicited advice (i am old, i may):
    1. forget the anger (he is a insignificant energy)
    2. centering yourself (that’s all there is)
    3. drink a wiskey (the best you’ve)
    4. do a good headshot (I’ll keep quiet)
    5. and stay here (with us) !!!
    your german friend john

  1988. ZaPaTa says:

    As far as I see it, you quit because you don’t agree with another players way of playing.
    This is a clan with certain rules but we all play for the fun and love of it. We can’t demand of all member to behave in exactly the same way. No one violated the rules so far…The problem you have with JJY doen’st seem to be insurmountable (is this the right word for “This is a problem you can overcome”). If you just drop it, cool your temper, and let each other play as you do now…? I don’t see a reason to stop.
    I feel you Mope, about reasons to quit. Completely agree.

  1989. JippiJaYeah says:

    Works with a good ping!

  1990. JesseJames says:

    Tnx sape I will check it out.

  1991. JesseJames says:

    Oh dear SAPE it’s a pity that you leave us because a misunderstanding with Jippi. You are always welcome in the clan.
    Can you not ignore Jippi and leave each other and play just for fun? Jippi is a good player but like he said he has no knowledge about settings,etc; (my knowledge is also poor about settings,config,…)

    You have always great ideas for the whole clan, and weapons,etc. We will miss you.
    Think about the good moments that we had!
    But we see eachother in game.

  1992. SAPE says:

    I find a German DM server with good ping. (like BB if it has good day)
    IP: 89.19.236.162:27960.

  1993. Mope says:

    I’m sorry to hear this, Sape. But please, if you have misunderstanding with a clan member, don’t make decisions affecting the whole clan. I can understand if someone leaves because the interest in the game has been lost, family reasons, work etc. Just think of other clan members that can be hurt with your decision.

  1994. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hmm.., what can i say. First, i don’t have a problem with Sape.
    But i think he overestimate myself. Playing SG is not important for me as for him, so i don’t play SG the hole day like he do. The ranking is not important for me as for him. And i don’t thing that i’m in the position to helped the members to became better, because i don’t know the settings, config and modifications. I’m not a FPS gamer, SG is the only game that i play.

    To clear things and then go away – sounds not like a sportsmen as he called to me. Maybe his ego block him, i don’t know!

    BTW: “I like to leave him the role of the poor victim” stand for itself!

    But anyway, you are always welcome.

  1995. GREYMAN says:

    HUH it was fast. I am not surprised too. We talking about live Brother.

  1996. Biondo says:

    To be honest I’m not surprised by your post, Sape. I’m disappointed, but not surprised.
    It’s not news that you feel uncomfortable in the clan… IMO, this last fight against Jippi is only the last piece of a puzzle that started some weeks ago.

    I won’t delete your account for now, in the hope that you’ll change your mind.

    Let me say, that you are wrong about Jippi. We all know that he interacts with the clan not so frequently, and has a sort of “double life”, public and private, but his presence had been always perceivable. Also, he was the one who first tried to host this blog.

    Please, don’t make the same error that I did. Calm down, keep your time and stay with us.

  1997. JippiJaYeah says:

    No, he don’t. And i didn’t ask for reason.

  1998. JesseJames says:

    It’s a pity of Hogo Fogo. Told he a reason?

  1999. JesseJames says:

    @zapata’s comment, that was my post, but I see that ZaPaTa was online on my pc . 🙂

  2000. SAPE says:

    Zap, could you tell with Frank yesterday?

  2001. SAPE says:

    Nice games. Ty all!

  2002. Wiskey says:

    Thanks Mope. I have to added maps manually to sg folder, I don’t know why it can’t download them automatically. When I finally get to game, my ping was terrible.

  2003. ZaPaTa says:

    Ok very nice Mope. It was laggy but we played and have fun, also after the game in BB.
    Sape was outstanding and that’s make me a bit happy :), also i’am happy with my 2 second places.

  2004. Mope says:

    And Sape is getting 2 points, JesseJames with 1 point. I’ve updated the scores.

  2005. Mope says:

    ty you all. It was very, but very LAGGY today. Sometime it looked like oldschool stop-motion movie. But we were there, in spite of the troubles, and that’s what’s really important. Wiskey, I must admit, your struggle with the connection made me proud. Sape was outstanding, as always. Jesse played very nice too. Biondo, JJ, and John, we missed you!

  2006. JesseJames says:

    very nice graphic Mope! Very funny with the bears,etc

    I will be there with ZaPaTa.
    I’am oiling my colts and sawed :)-

  2007. GREYMAN says:

    Nice picture Mpoe!
    I be there, but it is not my day.

  2008. ZaPaTa says:

    I’ll be there! That’s right!
    (I did read the ‘Are we really so Lame topic, but I won’t react there. Too much chit-chat and small talk).
    See you tonight, hopefully all in a better mood.
    Giddiejup!

  2009. GREYMAN says:

    Thanx John!
    You write, you klike old movies. Have you ee this: Quigley down under
    It is a Tom Seleck movie from 1990 one of my favorites.
    Ich weiss nicht was war das deutsche Titel. Bei uns in Ungarn war : Der Meister des Winchester. 🙂
    If you think see it.
    Sorry but my english is poor, my germany is better. 🙂

  2010. JesseJames says:

    Thanks for appreciation, John 🙂
    The last song was forbidden in Belgium because it is a song against the Christians. In the song he tell us the history of the Christmas story about Jesus. But it’s very funny, for example he says that god and Jozef have a fight because they think they are both the father of Jezus. 🙂

  2011. Slowly John says:

    @JesseJames: yes yes yes!!! thank you for the good music, i like them all!! the last song i understand the words no, but i can hear his nice voice! great! for example, from dean martin i have last week buy the follow cd (with winter wonderland):
    http://www.amazon.de/My-Christmas-Album-Dean-Martin/dp/B000IOMX0I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1324562091&sr=8-5

    i hope we meet us between the holidays on sg! i wish you also a very goood christmas time and happy new year!

  2012. JesseJames says:

    @Slowly John I remembered the Christmassong of the Muppets 🙂 see my last post :p

  2013. JesseJames says:

    Haha nice to know a few things about you.

    It’s nearby Christmas so I listen a few christmas songs.
    Here are a few of the best Christmassongs (my opinon)

  2014. Slowly John says:

    @GREYMAN: i will test it 🙂

    @JesseJames: me tooooooo 🙂

  2015. Slowly John says:

    @SAPE: thank you… i will look after the server… (i use SG1.1.b4)

  2016. Slowly John says:

    with pleasure my friend! i need a little bit longer time to translate my thoughts to english. best greetings, john

    ps: nice to fight with you!

  2017. JesseJames says:

    Haha the muppet show very nice 🙂

  2018. GREYMAN says:

    LOL! I relax wich a glass wine or whiskey. 🙂
    Try it John! Es funkzioniert bei mir immer! 😀 😀

  2019. SAPE says:

    John. do you use SG 1.0 or SG 1.1b4?
    You can paly just SG 1.1b4 on Terra Nova.
    If you have 1.1b4:
    You can find the Terra nova server in the list.
    If you can’t find it, you can connect using console. You can find it (and the IP adress of the Terra Nova server too) in tha FAQ menu.

  2020. GREYMAN says:

    Welcome Doc! I am very happy! 😀

  2021. Slowly John says:

    dear friends, i think, it is time to be relax:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z1WW70R88w
    your john

  2022. Slowly John says:

    @JesseJames: no, that i know no, big thx! … i try to be there 🙂
    is “Terra Nova” a special-server?

  2023. GREYMAN says:

    hi!
    @biondo: I agree wich your post, but i remember we talked about this once. 🙂
    @mope: Thank you! I now understand why you write Lame! 🙂
    It is not understood for me. LOL! 😀

  2024. SAPE says:

    Jippi, I see the BB stat. You are totally crazy. (like I am maybe.)
    Do you go to your workplace just crash your skill? Or can you connect this alias at home after all?

  2025. JesseJames says:

    I don’t understand the whole thing about unregistered players and your value.
    I often look at the ranking, and I see that with my best pc I’am number 88… If I see which players are before me (I think I’am better than those players) and with my bad pc I stand on the 34 place. 🙂
    Very strange thing that value. 🙂

  2026. Slowly John says:

    thank you Biondo,
    i saw, that the spamfilter is correct. i check my provider. there is nothing from lame-mail in spam-folder. my email-adress is correct. i have dissabled, updated and then enabled again the crosses in my profil… but, the same… i become no email-notice.
    ok, i look between online now, per hand after new comments. if you have an other idea, please let me hear… big thx, john

  2027. Biondo says:

    OK, I’m on strike. I won’t follow this blog until Christmas.
    Can’t stand this chat chat chat.

  2028. SAPE says:

    Could you send me a faster net connection Biondo? 😉

  2029. Biondo says:

    Hey, idea! @Sape and @Jippi: why don’t you resolve the thing with a fight in DuellBude? 😛

  2030. SAPE says:

    @Biondo: If you play against a very good, but not registered player, if you shoot him, your skill just grow a little. If an unregistered player kill you, you skill is reduced lot.

    “Skill, compared with ratio, is a much more dynamic value. Each player has a skill value (default 1000) and killing an opponent adds skill points while dying reduces skill points, both relative to the skill relationship between the player and it’s opponent. If you kill a more skilled player, you earn more points, while you lose more points if you are killed by a nobody. Similarly to the ratio, it helps if you don’t die often. But if you are really hell-bent on optimizing your skill points, you first have to check the skills of the other players before you would join a game. If you play against overrated (=”overskilled”) players, you will quickly earn points while you can lose many points if a good player decided to create a new account, starting with skill 1000. The skill value will react very quickly to your current level of playing, so one shouldn’t play if one is not a hundred percent focused.”

    • Biondo says:

      1– This has nothing to do with the name/alias
      2– If he played unregistered (as you said), his skills in BB stats don’t change at all.

      But please, stop here.

      • SAPE says:

        But my skill value is crashed, if an unregistered player kill me.

        Duel: Jippi is better, I know it and I have never said the opposite.

        Ok,ok, I finished it.

  2031. Biondo says:

    Calm down, you both…

    @Sape: I do not “know the method of the skill”, I think…
    And we all love to see our scores in the first page of BB stats (don’t you Sape?).
    Yes, I know that Jippi has so many aliases, and that he often plays without *Lame* prefix (I already pointed this in this blog), but it is his way … must be tolerated 🙂

    @Jippi: No I won’t delete your account … i don’t know how to do it 😛

  2032. SAPE says:

    Thanx John! 🙂

  2033. Biondo says:

    Hmm… 3 check boxes are correctly checked…
    Is your email address correctly written? I suppose it is.

    Please check if it’s your provider that blocks blog’s emails as spam. To do this don’t check your e-mail client, but connect via web (browser) to your email account on the site of your provider and check the spam directory there.
    This is all I can suggest.

  2034. JippiJaYeah says:

    @Biondo:
    Please do my a favor and delete my *Lame*JippiJaYeah Account on BallerBude.

  2035. JippiJaYeah says:

    @Sape:
    You even already – now 2nd time – implied that a good value is important for me. No, it is not. The registered account is on my PC at work. In the past week’s i’m working often at home.
    So i don’t want to registrar another account. But if you have a problem with it, then may i ask Biondo to delete my account.

    • SAPE says:

      @Jippi: I just ask something. Don’t offended!
      1. You can use the same alias in two different PC.
      2. Just see your activity as *Lame*JippiJaYeah. It is a typical “skillhunter” activity. Short sections. If you play with this alias I think you choose the maps and your opponents too. It is very similar like Nautica or Sunrise activity. BUT IT IS OK!!! Just don’t say the skill value is not so important to you.
      Do you see any green in my eye?

      • JippiJaYeah says:

        I’m not offended, but you are already implied.

        to 1. I don’t think so, because you got another gid. But i dont’t really now it, maybe Bindo can tell something about it.

        to 2. It’s not a “skillhunter” account, as you implied. I already have played without any registration in good skill condition.

        to “Just don’t say the skill value is not so important to you.”:
        One more time, …no it isn’t, and don’t implied something that you don’t know.

        Anyway, the account will hopefully delete from Biondo, so you can sleep with nice dreams. 😉

  2036. Slowly John says:

    …spam-filter i have checked, he is correctly

  2037. SAPE says:

    Jippi, I want to ask something:

    Don’t play unregistered alias, at least don’t play against LAME clan-members this mode.
    I know you have the highest skill in BB stat, and I know it is important to you. But if you play in unregistered mode, you crashed the others skill value. You know the method of the skill I think.
    It is unsportsmanlike. You are a sportsman, aren’t you?

  2038. Slowly John says:

    i am glad, because i see, that here are very
    friendly and hard Player with a lot of same
    interests like me!

    @SAPE: we had the same thoughts, the last
    time i was writing here 🙂

    here are some data to my person:
    my name is daniel, born 1969 in germany
    and i work today as freelancer in the new
    media. a lot of interests i had in my life
    and i think (hope) i am a computer-gamer
    of the first years… big pixel jump & run 🙂
    my first own computer (1983) was an
    atari 800 xl, then a 130 xe, later different
    commodore and then much ibm.
    the last few years use i even a psion 3a,
    built 1993, as second brain… i need that 🙂
    also i like walking, photographing, painting,
    old movies, playing, reading, music and
    more…
    but the last few years more stillness, advaita,
    zen and so on… this is for me a good balance.
    oh, and of course my wife! first my wife!
    (she look about my shoulder)
    🙂 🙂 🙂
    your john

  2039. Slowly John says:

    @SAPE yes, i do 🙂

  2040. SAPE says:

    Anyway, John, could you write some personal information? (“personal interest” menu). 🙂

  2041. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    There are some “clear” approach from The Beast. 🙂

    I have never said “Lame” in the game, because if somebody kill me when I chatting or reloading, it is my fault.

    Chatkill: If somebody want to chatting, search some shelter. If want to talking, go to spec. So I shooting.

    Respawn killing: If somebody respawning next to me, I think he start shooting or try to kill me with knife. So I shooting.
    (BUT I hate the “base-camping”, when a player camping next to a spawnpoint, and kill the respawned players.)

    Reloading player killing: Are you kidding? I shoot of course.

    Backshoot: same approach like the previous (reloading).

    This is the Wild West in FPS game. And if you read Greyman’s post, you could see, the lawmen of the west weren’t angels.

    You know, I have a bind, when somebody disapprove something: *Welcome to the Wild West*. 😉

  2042. Biondo says:

    The post is about “old rules” like those written in old site: “just say Lame when getting shot while buying or getting shot in your back” (http://sg-lame.yolasite.com/clan-rules.php). Do you remember?

    New rules (those written in this blog) are different.
    I just wanted to understand if you still considered old rules to be current.

    @Mope: I never understood that you were saying “Lame” to yourself. This is why I often asked to you in game “Why are you saying Lame to me? What have I made wrong?”
    In past times, this happened to me too, when I used to say “noob” to myself… 🙂

    @Jesse: I don’t like dyna and Gatlings too, but they are legal weapons, and no weapon is lame in absolute terms. Also being a dyna expert (like TheUgly) need strategy and training. Some players consider lame also knives and shotguns (when I used only Sawed-Off I was frequently insulted for this), but I think that, as long as a weapon exists in SG’s realm, it can be used.

    @Jippi: LOL, I don’t think you can apply the rules of real life to a game. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night after having killed 82,000 humans 🙂

  2043. JesseJames says:

    Their you have a point, you can’t say lame after dying. 🙂
    And kill people in the back that isn’t lame for me, like Jippi said than you have a problem.

  2044. JippiJaYeah says:

    After short close military consideration: In real life, you don’t wonna die!!!

    – Don’t kill a chatting player
    * Normally in real life you don’t give a sign for speeching.
    * The sign for chatting is unique in game.
    * If somebody need to chat, then he could do it as an spectator.
    * But i’m friendly and let him chatting.

    – Don’t kill a newly re-spawned player
    * Sometime you don’t see that a player re-spawned, then he kills you.
    * If you don’t shot him, then he will shot you!

    – Don’t kill a reloading player
    * If you killed by a player during reloading then you have tactical problem!

    – Don’t shoot at a player in the back
    * If you killed by a player in the back then you have tactical problem!

    – Every time somebody kills you in one of the previous listed situations, say “Lame”.
    * I never said it, because in real life you don’t could say it after dying.

  2045. ZaPaTa says:

    Now I do so JJY. There seems to be some problem in switching between SG fullscreen and a regular windows screen. So I start to play fullscreen now, I only have a problem to switch to my Trillian screen now….

    • Biondo says:

      When you need a fast switch from full-screen to windowed mode (and viceversa) use the keyboard: Alt+Enter.

  2046. JesseJames says:

    I say always LAME when I’am killed by Dyna or gatling. That are weapons I don’t like.
    But also chattingkills, I know it’s my fault that i’am chatting but I never kill people when they are chatting. Or my reflexes are good and I’am too fast, It’s respect for the others, and their is a chance that they kill me but so what. I think I”am too good for the world 😀

    But I understand that it’s hard to follow those rules, and I respect your opinion,
    but LAME it’s my way of outing my frustrations. 🙂
    just to say, that his/her way of playing isn’t good.

  2047. Mope says:

    I say “Lame!” when it refers to my stupidity, when it’s totally my fault, like running open in the middle of the street, catching bullets from every corner. If someone gets different impression, I’m sorry to hear that.

    Agreed with Biondo. Those rules cannot be followed like orders, but as a suggestion to the self-confident intelligent and skilled player, that can give a chance to other players to die honorably.

  2048. Wiskey says:

    Nice to heard that Doc is back.

  2049. Slowly John says:

    @Biondo: thank you, i understand. i will work carefully
    step by step and i think it is better, i ask before i doing
    anything. the wordpress-system ist new for me and my english is very very basic 🙂 … but “searching comments”
    is perfect for me 🙂
    your picture in “Welcome back, Doc!” is fantastic, beautiful
    harmonic lights and shadows!!!

    • Biondo says:

      I know you are new in WordPress, but it seems you feel perfectly at your ease! 😉

      Thanks for your appreciation about the picture. hehe

  2050. JippiJaYeah says:

    Banned theUgly will be a nice Christmas present for him. 🙂

  2051. JesseJames says:

    Very good Biondo! I like your action.
    I will look around 😉

  2052. Biondo says:

    I’m not at my PC now, so I can’t confirm this definitely, but it seems that I’ve been promoted from “Full admin” to “Senior admin” in Baller (thanks Doc). This means that now I can ban a player for more than 3 hours.

    As promised, my first act as a senior admin has been banning TheUgly for six months (via Echelon). Reason: repeated insults and profanity.

    Of course he will try in every way to circumvent the ban. If you see him around again, please inform me.

  2053. Slowly John says:

    it is great to hear, i remember his fights: short, quick and hard. welcome back Doc!

  2054. JesseJames says:

    Indeed nice graphic, and good to see that the Doctor is back!
    Everything comes all right with this cold and dark days before christmas. 🙂

  2055. Biondo says:

    @John: “Show in search results?” … OK, now I understand.

    Quick answer: that check-box is only useful when you post a private (=secret, =that-only-clan-members-can-see) Post/Page.

    When you want your page private, check “Only accessible by members?” AND “Administrator”. OK, you already knew it, I suppose.

    If you want your private page appearing in search results –when a simple visitor searches the blog — check “Show in search results?”. In this case I suppose that only the title is shown.

    But generally, I can’t imagine a situation where you would like to publish a private page and make it’s title public 🙂

    As you see, searching among comments has nothing to do with this option.

  2056. SAPE says:

    Very good picture Biondo.
    “I involved a way more in BB’s administration”. I think it is a good approach.
    If I see you as a BB admin, it is reassuring to me.

  2057. Slowly John says:

    hello dear Friends,

    sorry for my late response, yesterday-evening
    was i am to down and today i am back now from
    work. many many thanks for your quick and
    good answers!!!

    @biondo: your entry calms me down! yesterday
    it really does not make fun, it was like slide-
    show 🙂
    …and with “Show in search results?” i mean
    the option at the right field, on right side
    from editor, if i write a posting. now i let
    it free, i am better carefully, because i do
    not know which cross is ok, …because there
    are two crosses 🙂 . now i will use your search-
    comments-funktion. big thank you!

    @JesseJames & GREYMAN: thank you! it is
    very calming to know! i have testet many
    options in the q3config.cfg , but now i let she
    so it, like the “paste-version” and i will wait
    on better server times.

    even if I’m repeating myself: i feel me realy
    good here and i love our good friendship &
    the nice SG!

    all the best & a nice day
    john

  2058. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hogo Fogo don’t wan to join our clan.

  2059. SAPE says:

    Nice to see it. Welcome Doc! 🙂

  2060. JippiJaYeah says:

    Great to hear that he is still alive.
    Maybe he can say something about the server lags?

  2061. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    Yep. Thats right. I lagging few days ago too. I think it is server problem. My net is ok, I tested it. My settings are remain.

  2062. JesseJames says:

    Indeed today was it also lagging, but yesterday it was more laggy.

  2063. Biondo says:

    Hi John,
    I haven’t examined your q3config, but I know that in last few days Baller was really really lagging. So much lagging that I couldn’t stand playing. Not for all players, it seems that some connections were OK.
    Today it seems better. Answer: it’s a server/net problem.

    About “can i enable the option Show in search
    results?” … hmm, what is it?

    An advice: when you use the search form in the site, it searches only in posts and pages. If you want to search comments go to http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/edit-comments.php and use the field “Search in comments”. Anyway, we haven’t talked about lag, I think, so you probably will find nothing.

  2064. Biondo says:

    My original thought of inviting a new member each week, and every time at the same time (on Sunday), could have been more fun: something like a lottery … “who will be nominated *LAME* member this week?” Also, giving it a public visibility, could have made the nomination more official (possibly reducing the number of refusals by nominees).

    But I see that things have taken a different pathway, so let’s continue with private calls.

  2065. Slowly John says:

    very nice my Friend, i oil my schofield 🙂

  2066. JesseJames says:

    That is a pity, but you tried it. I understand him, and respect it.

    Have anyone saw Sarah, Hogo Fogo, and Frank? If you see one of this guys/girls ask him/her to join us. 🙂
    Or let them read our site.

  2067. Wiskey says:

    When I get configurate my SG again I try give challenge for you. If it is even possible.

    Nice that you made comeback

  2068. JesseJames says:

    Yes you are very important to the clan!

  2069. SAPE says:

    Thanx all my friends! I feel good, because I think I important to you. 🙂

  2070. Biondo says:

    I wrote to @spi, but he refuses to join the clan (more for personal reasons than for his role in BB server). No hope to make him change his mind. 🙁

  2071. JesseJames says:

    Btw nice graphic, I see fire in his eyes and the typically cigarette 🙂

  2072. GREYMAN says:

    Wait Mope and Jippi! First trap him with a little whiskey. After you can him killed with silver buillets or Bowie knife!
    😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
    Welcome back my friend! Nice picture!

  2073. JesseJames says:

    Great news! You are welcome.

    You are better than before I think. But I will fight against you 😉

  2074. JippiJaYeah says:

    Great to hear !!!

    I sharpening the knives. 😉

  2075. ZaPaTa says:

    That’s very very good news for you and for us, the clan.
    Offcourse take all the tilme you need.
    I was thinking of a similarity today. Maybe you know this feeling; it’s a bit with playing SG.
    You like a certain song very much, so ypu play it often. But because you play it so much you get bored and start to dislike this song. Which is off course a pity because in essence it was a good song, but you wasted it. I do this often with good song. Put them away for a while, like a good old wine that has to lay for a while 😀 With SG it’s the same, if you play it too dedicated you might dislike it, i think, so make sure you don’t waste it. CHeers

  2076. Mope says:

    I’m preparing my silver bullets especially for you, Dear Beast.

  2077. Biondo says:

    LOL Fun return. Welcome back Beast! 🙂

  2078. JesseJames says:

    Indeed I see players lik Nub!Boss, Nub!Donut, TheMercenarY, seykool,… It would be strange if all this people are banned for cheating. 🙂

  2079. Biondo says:

    Hey, it must be clear that not all those players/names are cheaters or banned players. In large part they are in the list WITHOUT having done anything bad.

  2080. Wiskey says:

    Lots of known aliases. And thanks Biondo, now I know why some players get kicked when they connect to BB.

  2081. Slowly John says:

    realy nice photos Sape, thank you. beautiful motives and natural colors, very nice deep-sharpness, i like them all!

  2082. JippiJaYeah says:

    And i thought he has a strange personalty. 😉
    Thank you for the secret information.

  2083. GREYMAN says:

    WOW!I never see so much Name in SG/BB!
    This player i know as Cowboyfromhell.

  2084. Biondo says:

    LOL 😀 You’ve found the infamous user @666 (since the identity number it owns in BigBrotherBot database)!

    1234 aliases, 5047 connections, but only 37 rounds played and 39 kills: http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=374

    It’s a fake player, (thanks to Doc for all the magic he did in BallerBudeBot). It is the account every player without an identity number gets mapped to, in order to supply the explanation (ban message) to re-install SG.

    Let me explain more: every player is identifiable by BallerBudeBot (the BB customization of BigBrotherBot) by its unique identity number.
    A player without that number is not identifiable, so there is no way to trace him, no way to ban him. In Baller TheDoctor made so that a player without identity is not allowed to play in BB; as soon as he connects he gets autobanned with an error message that invites him to reinstall SG.

    How can it happen that a player doesn’t have an ID? There are 2 possible reasons:

    – an incomplete/wrong install of SG
    – the player deliberately deleted the identity number, because he doesn’t want to be recognized (for example: he is a cheater banned from BB that wants to circumvent BB controls).

    All this identity number matter is a weak point of SG, so I propose to keep this post private, Jippi, so that we don’t increase the number of cheaters playing without identity in other servers (but if you don’t agree make it public again).

  2085. JippiJaYeah says:

    I have the same problem when i play only not in fullscreen on Windows 7.

    Why you don’t play in fullscreen?

  2086. JesseJames says:

    Thank you Slowly John, I’m also going to sleep.

  2087. Slowly John says:

    good evening dear Friends,
    i feel me very very good here and i am looking forward
    to our friendship and to reading this site!!
    current i am a little bit tired, because i had a “little”
    family-advent-meeting… – but tomorrow i will go back
    on screen 🙂
    i wish all a very nice sunday-evening. your john

  2088. Biondo says:

    Just for your information: today I discovered that I have limited powers as BB admin. I’m not “Senior admin” as I was in past times, I’m “Full admin” and Full admins have limited powers, despite of their qualification.
    I can’t ban a player for more than 3 hours, I don’t have access to logs, I don’t have access to BB’s filesystem. I can do almost nothing.
    That’s all.

  2089. JesseJames says:

    @wiskey indeed with John it’s difficult to take points. 🙂

  2090. Biondo says:

    @Sape: I’ll send it later … he doesn’t read emails during weekends.

  2091. GREYMAN says:

    Hi John!
    Big Welcome in our clan.
    I remember you are not SLOW! 😀 😀
    Btw: Du wirst dieses homepage sehr schnell kennenlernen.
    Ich wünsche dir auch einen sehr gutes Sonntag. 😀

  2092. Wiskey says:

    Hi John. It is nice to see you in our weekly dm. I think that Jippi and Jesse have now difficult to win.

  2093. ZaPaTa says:

    Hello John,
    great to see you so soon on our site. Thanks for joining our clan, and hopefully see you soon Ingame. A very big welcome!
    Cheers

  2094. SAPE says:

    Welcome John. 🙂
    @Biondo: @spi? Is he all right? Did you send a mail to him?

  2095. SAPE says:

    Hi John! 🙂
    BIG WELCOME! 🙂
    I think we were friend in the past too, before you joined the Lame clan. I am very happy.
    It is honor to fight your side.

  2096. Slowly John says:

    Dankeschön & einen schönen Sonntag

  2097. Slowly John says:

    good morning dear friends,

    i am very happy about your friendly welcome and your great work here – thanks!!! now i will first more learn to use this site and more reading the instructions. i wish all a good sunday! your john

  2098. Mope says:

    Great News. It’s also great that you’re feeling comfortable, and started posting so soon. Take your time to explore the site, you’ll find a lot of interesting facts and valuable information about the clan members and other stuff.

  2099. JesseJames says:

    Haha great John to see you on our clansite. 🙂
    I’am so proud to see you in our clan.
    You are welcome. 🙂

    If you have questions just ask. 🙂

  2100. JippiJaYeah says:

    Herzlich Willkommen John. Man sieht sich. 😉

  2101. GREYMAN says:

    Welcome John! 🙂
    Another Schofield fun!

  2102. Biondo says:

    Don’t know him… yes I’ve seen him playing, but I can’t say who he is.
    JunakM07-PL or JunakM07, he has the name of a well known cheater (but I’m sure this is just a coincidence). In Echelon I can see he got 8 warnings for offensive language (not so bad).
    We’ll keep an eye on him, thank you Wiskey.

  2103. Wiskey says:

    If we continue yet, so I suggest to watch player named Junakm. He is friendly and good player, I am played with him many times, and he is also polite.

  2104. Biondo says:

    😀 😀 😀
    First of all, never ever (never ever!) use copy and paste from another program. 😀 😀 :D. Your post is included in a “pre” tag (for those who understand what I mean) so it has a weird font.

    But what makes me so happy is not that “pre” tag, it’s the fact that you was so brave to write a new post in this blog, just a few minutes after you joined. Very nice, Slow.

    About name prefix and colours, see: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/clan-rules/ and http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/?qa_faqs=does-it-work

    Thanks to you for joining.

  2105. ZaPaTa says:

    Yes Biondo, I’ve posted on the SG forum,
    but i’ve run some tests this afternoon. Apparently it’s a display problem. I’ve added a setting called ‘Display: enlarge icons 150%’ (this is to easy view my screen from a distance). I’ve canceled this setting, and SG seemed to run perfect. No mouse problem anymore! To enlarge my icons I’ve used a lower resolution. A bit a pity since this new monitor is larger 🙁

  2106. JesseJames says:

    So sended you a mail Biondo 🙂
    and yes it was fast 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      OK, Jesse I answered to SJ, with his credentials and details about *LAME* site. I’ve sent a copy to you too, but because of network problems your mail couldn’t be delivered (maybe you’ll receive it at a later time).

  2107. Wiskey says:

    Welcome Slowly John

  2108. Biondo says:

    OMG! This happened so fast, not the way I imagined… 🙂

    A big welcome to Slowly John.

    Jesse, can you send me his email (via email) so that I can add him to administrators of this blog?

    BTW, he thanks us also in SG Forum: http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?p=22615&sid=8eb6c2428daf7fab24fc3fc851fdb487#22615

  2109. ZaPaTa says:

    Good to know Windows 7 isn’t the problem!

    • Biondo says:

      I’ve searched in Internet bud I wasn’t able to find anything useful for you.

      At this point I think the best thing you can do is writing in SG Forum explaining your problem in details.
      Add infos about SG version you use, and mouse and PC specs (operating system, graphic card, processor, …).

      Sorry.

  2110. SAPE says:

    Grey use windows 7 too. He hasn’t any problem. Hm…

  2111. SAPE says:

    Great news 🙂
    Welcome Slowly John.

  2112. ZaPaTa says:

    So Slowly is a new member!? Great news.
    I agree with all candidates, let’s see what a weekly Sunday Post will do…

  2113. ZaPaTa says:

    Yep, didn’t work. I’ll try re-installing today.
    cheers

  2114. JippiJaYeah says:

    Fast notice: Jesse ask SlowlyJohn today and he agree.
    John will send him a email.

    @jj: same time!!!

  2115. JesseJames says:

    Slowly John is very enthusiastic 🙂 Very nice to see him in the clan. :p
    Jippi!!

  2116. Wiskey says:

    I don’t know Mercurius, but if they said that he is OK then I can agree him for clan. For @spi vote yes, and that list is OK for me.

  2117. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hopefully they agree. 🙂

  2118. SAPE says:

    Perfect list. OK.

  2119. GREYMAN says:

    Ok Biondo! I agree.

  2120. JesseJames says:

    I don’t think that you forgot anybody. Hopefully are they enthousiastic. 🙂

  2121. Biondo says:

    So, until now, we have these candidates:

    @spi
    Mercurius

    And, in BB registration order:

    Sarah (registered on 9 November 2009)
    Hogo Fogo (registered on 13 November 2009)
    Slowly John (registered on 14 November 2009)
    Frank (registered on 11 December 2009)

    Have I forgotten anybody?

    I think that @spi and Mercurius should be recruited with a direct call (via e-mail), because of their particular status (one is BB administrator, and one is the admin of our future web server). The others could be recruited with a weekly Sunday’s post.

    OK?

  2122. Wiskey says:

    Sarah, Hogo, Frank and Slowly are OK for me.

  2123. Bart says:

    Hey, very nice work! You are very good in designing!

    Greets

  2124. GREYMAN says:

    I vote YES for @spi too.
    He knows us, i think we like him, maybe he is us. 😀
    We have played with him and pass us.
    This is very good idea Biondo!
    If he want to join: Welcome!

  2125. Mope says:

    Unfortunately I still have some problems (you can see my awful ping on screenshots). I’ve upgraded my connection , but it’s still low, so I’m waiting for technician on Sunday to fix it.

  2126. Biondo says:

    Have you already tried seta in_mouse “-1″?

  2127. JesseJames says:

    BTW it’s a pity that Doc disappeared without saying that he is gone. Hopefully BB,TN don’t disappeared in the future.

  2128. JesseJames says:

    I vote YES for @spi, it’s heavy to run a server. And he love our clan and we love BB.

    About your plan for recruiting each Sunday, what do you see concrete? We send them a mail to discuss on our blog each Sunday, or we discuss every Sunday with them,…
    It’s a good idea, and indeed we choose the players and not the players choose us. I think that is our strong point.

    • Biondo says:

      My idea was to publish a post in this blog inviting one of them to join the clan (one of them every week). And to contact that one, via email or in game, inviting him to read the post and comment on it.

  2129. JesseJames says:

    GG all, you are all fantastic, the first game was close just like the second game. Second game my start was terrible on a moment it was 10-2 for Wiskey.
    Also mope once no problems with connection played very good. WIskey second game what a start of you. 🙂

    Also SAPE tnx for join us in spectating.

    TNX all!

  2131. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I think @spi need a stable background now. If everybody vote for @spi (I think yes), Biondo, you would write a mail to him.
    You would write our standpoint about this situation, the advanteges his joining. I think he will join us.
    About the “invite post”: it is good idea, I support it.

  2132. Mope says:

    Will Doctor return some day? Is someone in touch with him?

    • Biondo says:

      He disappeared the day after the second BB birthday (that was also the last time he played in Baller). After that date he haven’t answered to my emails and to @spi’s emails.
      No news about him also in Smokin’Guns private forum for administrators (I asked to rane/donnie).

      The only thing he did after that date was to ban for 1 week a stupid player using *LAME* prefix (I don’t remember his name). Sape wrote to him about this players and Doc banned it.

      I don’t think that he’ll come back, and now I interpret his last post in SG forum (Never forget 11/9!), with the image he asked me to draw (http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/6204/bbbday2memory.jpg) as a way to say that he is dead for SG.

      That’s all.

  2133. Biondo says:

    Oops, I forgot it was a proposal by Mope (that I probably rejected when he told me, don’t exactly remember). Sorry Mope, I changed my idea as you’ve seen.

    Yes @spi already refused an informal proposal long time ago, but now he is alone, maybe he could accept.

    He is stressed because he’s lost the mind behind BB, the one who innovated and experimented new pathways. I’m absolutely not able to do what Doc did, his technical competences and his knowledge of all aspects of SG/Quake were far superior to mine.

  2134. Mope says:

    > Biondo,

    Great idea to invite @spi. Though he might refuse, if he wants to stay neutral to all players, who play on BB.

    Why is he so stressed? Is something wrong with the servers?

    I’m happy that you’ve agreed to the idea of inviting posts, and developed it further. I don’t expect too much pressure from unwanted players.

  2135. Biondo says:

    As I told I think it will not be easy to convince players used to play as lone wolves to join the clan.

    Mi proposal is to publicly invite them with a post in this blog.
    We could institute a “Weekly Recruiting Day”, say on Sunday, and each Sunday –until we decide we have enough players– invite a new member, Slowly John, Hogo Fogo, …

    When we’ll meet them in game we’ll point them to the post.

    Of course we will see a flourish of comments from unknown/bad players wishing to join too, but this is not a problem since we have clear our recruiting method: we aren’t chosen, WE choose.

    What do you think?

  2136. Biondo says:

    I’d like to recruit @spi!

    Yes, I know that some of you could say that in this way our clan would be too strictly bound to BallerBude, but look at the facts: we are already bound to BB, we play in BB (and TN), our blog links to BB and BB links back to our blog, you are all Moderators and I am Full admin…

    I think that @spi need to be supported now that TheDoctor has left. He is really depressed about the situation, so depressed that yesterday, in an email to me, he threatened to close Baller, Special and TerraNova. Maybe involving him in this blog, could make him feel better.

    In any case, this would not be the first case of an administrator (a real one, not one like me) is also a clan member, think for instance of rane (aka mS // Donnie aka bodie) from JeuxLinux.

  2137. SAPE says:

    The Baller need you as Admin Biondo now.

  2138. GREYMAN says:

    GG all! It was fun!
    I switched weapons and techniques, with time, maybe it works.
    I am satisfied.
    Thanks! 😀 😀

  2139. SAPE says:

    Nice game. GG all.

  2140. Biondo says:

    The weekly sacrifice is completed. *LAME*’s blood flowed in streams.

    Unequivocally, JesseJames is the champion! GG Jesse.

      OK 20:30.

      Station, and GhostTown or Tijuana.

      And thanks to all for appreciations to Occupy TerraNova 🙂

    I’m now using windows 7, but I used to work in XP.
    Concerning the graphic card, will ask this this evening.
    I’ll tryp updating the Q3config

  2143. Biondo says:

    Hmm…

    First of all are you using Windows or Linux?

    If you have tried different mice, it doesn’t seem a problem related to mouse driver, it seems more a thing related to the graphic driver in dialogue with SG engine. Probably you can’t update your graphic card driver, because I suppose it is already in its last version. BTW, which graphic card do you have, Nvidia, ATI, Intel, … ?
    Or it is a problem related to the way SG engine handles mouse input.

    Try this, in your q3config.cfg replace:

    seta in_mouse “1”

    with:

    seta in_mouse “-1”

    And let me know if it works.

  2144. SAPE says:

    Try to download a new mouse driver. Maybe it can help. Find a mouse-type specific software.
    I am not expert.

  2145. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice graphic…free the doc…LOL

  2146. ZaPaTa says:

    Still not there, sorry folks!!!
    See my last post, got some mouse-issues,
    but soon fully reinstalled, hope to be next week with you all.

    Have fun!

  2147. GREYMAN says:

    I be there, if nothing is interrupted. 🙂

  2148. SAPE says:

    I join Spec. mode. Cu.

  2149. GREYMAN says:

    Yep! Hogo Fogo is friendly and never offensive.
    I vote yes too.

  2150. Jippi says:

    Wow, another cool picture. 🙂 I don’t know, if i can play.

  2151. Wiskey says:

    20:30 or 21:00 all times are suitable for me. I vote Station Ghost Town

  2152. JesseJames says:

    Hey guys is it possible to play today at 20u30? Because 9 o’clock is a bit too late today.

  2153. JippiJaYeah says:

    Another nice knife guy 😉
    Yes for Hogo Fogo.

  2154. SAPE says:

    I vote for Hogo Fogo too.

  2155. JesseJames says:

    Yes he plays a long time but I don’t know him very well, always a Hey or something but no more than that.

    But he is good.

  2156. Biondo says:

    I’d like to recruit Hogo Fogo!
    Another long time player. Always friendly, never offensive.

    I vote for HF.

  2157. JesseJames says:

    Good to see so much reaction of the clanmembers, very nice discussion.
    About Mercurius I don’ t know him very well, but to remove our site,etc he is loyal, he deserves a place in our clan.
    For me it’s 100% YES!

  2158. SAPE says:

    Biondo, I agree.

  2159. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Mercurius is alive. 🙂 I can’t speak him since some days.
    He build his house. He will finish it in this year. After it he want to play more and practice more.
    He said: ” I join the clan after I can win a TDM against the whole clan on my own.” 🙂
    I know him and I know his FPS gamer past. I think he can do it in the future. 🙂

    About Slowly John: Yes
    About Sarah/Frank: Yes

  2160. SAPE says:

    Oh, I forgot: I still don’t consider myself a gentleman. 😀

  2161. SAPE says:

    Jesse, Zap, I didn’t want to offend. you are my friends, you know it.
    In the future don’t ask politely, just ask! I am not a touchy person. 😉
    I didn’t want to be rough, just straight.

  2162. GREYMAN says:

    I vote Slowly John YES.Mercurius YES.Sarah YES.Frank YES
    I talk Sape from Mercurius.
    Donkilla: i do not know him.

    @Zapata: Mercurius is a old experinced Medal of Honor warriror. His friendly. I play with him in greengasadio server.

  2163. ZaPaTa says:

    “he just asked politely for more informations.”
    True Biondo.
    I’m wasn’t offended by SAPE’s straight forward way of speaking,
    nor I’m I that easily offended. But thanks for defending both of us.
    Funny situation.

    SAPE, the gentleman thing, Biondo explained a bit already, started more of a running gag, just BECAUSE it did fit ill with the western DM theme.
    But now it stands for mutual respect and fairplay (no cheating, be a sport, you know these rules) and I think you always agreed with them and find them more or less important…

    Cheers

  2164. ZaPaTa says:

    I think reverse thinking is a good idea. Let se what players we want, instead of avoiding requests by bad players.
    What about Mercurius?
    I remembered having fun with AK37 too, but he’s BB now?
    I’m OK with RUS players,
    Slowly is a very good idea.
    A no for Donkilla plz.

    • Biondo says:

      Mercurius is in the toplist of our wishes! I think we already talked about this, he deserves a place in clan, also if I have seen him in game only once. BTW, I’m still waiting for a couple of answers by him, about server migration. @Sape: any news from him?

      a.k47: I don’t love him particularly. Yes, he is a nice player, but sometimes offensive. And I think he is in -=BB=- clan too.

      [RUS] players: already a clan, as said previously. Of course, if they drop their clan, I think there is no problem to accept them.

      Donkilla: OK OK, don’t talk about him any more 🙂

      Slowly John: most voted new *LAME* until now. Good.

  2165. Biondo says:

    @Jesse: [RUS] = Fast_Romko and Jaba_Aviator. Both good players and nice company. In past times they played as a team, but when I asked them to stop, they stopped.

  2166. Biondo says:

    I’d like to see Sarah in clan. I think I already asked to her, and she refused.

  2167. JesseJames says:

    Hmm I like the style of Fast Romko and Frank. They are always friendly and play nice and good.

  2168. Biondo says:

    OK, it works. Lets continue to propose new Lamers.

    But don’t invite anybody to join for now. Probably most of the players we’d like in clan, will refuse to join. If we really want them, there must be an effort from all clan members to convince them to join.

  2169. JesseJames says:

    @biondo I often talk whit him in game, very friendly.

    And you have a point that everybody knows that you are admin and they behave themselves.
    So maybe no Donkilla for me.

    edit: indeed a lot of lames here 🙂

  2170. Biondo says:

    Nice you commented immediately, Jesse 🙂 Very nice.
    The reason of this page is to let all members to talk about their own experience about single players. For instance: many players know that I was admin in Baller, so they behave well when I’m online and bad when I’m not.

    I know that donkilla is not pure. But it’s good that you like Slowly too.

  2171. Mope says:

    donkilla is offensive, it’s against clan rules. I vote against.

  2172. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yes for Slowly John : Like him too, he is an old & nice SG Player

    Yes for donkilla: He insult me sometime, but that was ok. He is good, sometimes a dyna “noob”, but he will improve our skills.

  2173. JesseJames says:

    Hmm donkilla plays a lot with dynamite and is not so friendly,
    Slowly John is indeed always behaved and he is good, look at his statics place 17. Not bad at all. My place 65,…

  2174. Biondo says:

    I’d like to recruit donkilla alias msciciel. A very good player, sometimes offensive, but just when provoked.

  2175. Biondo says:

    I’d like to recruit Slowly John.

    I love him and I know him since long time. He is not the best player (though he won against me today in Steamboat) but that always behaved well.

  2176. Biondo says:

    OMG, can’t we just say we are not recruiting, and that if we accept new players WE will ask them to join?

    We have to decide what to do. Or we accept new requests, or we look for new members.
    New requests come from newcomers, bad players that most of the times are not even registered (or by cheaters as $oldas). About Zenior, I think we talked enough … SCeese is another perfect unknown.

    My opinion is:

    1– WE recruit. WE only. It doesn’t count if somebody asked to join clan, WE choose.

    2– As soon as possible I want to create a page where everyone of us can say who he’d like to recruit … in the long period.

    This is what I think 🙂

  2177. JesseJames says:

    Ok their is a new request, busy last days :).

    If your offer is still good, I would like to join the clan. I am SCeese when playing.

    Thanks, Seth

    What about Zenior, I don’t send him a mail back, or we spectate him for a month or 2?

  2178. JesseJames says:

    @SAPE indeed It was not nice to leave the game, I thought that the game don’t need so much time, and I had on that moment a second place. But on that large map it was possible that the game still going on for 10 minutes and that was too late for me. Sorry SAPE and the rest for my behaviour last Thursday.

    Tnx also to have your heart on your tongue.
    And good to see that you don’t want to leave the clan.

  2179. Wiskey says:

    I am happy that Sape don’t want to leave clan. I understand if you are tired for playing and I give you to keep break. For anyone of us, compulsive playing is not fun.

  2180. SAPE says:

    An wise(not cold-blooded, but wise) man said it: “I can’t live without you”. I feel something very similar. 🙂
    I don’t want to leave the clan. If I start to play SG again in the future, JUST as a member of the LAME CLAN.

  2181. Biondo says:

    All this debate makes me think about the flaws that online communication has, in any situation: a blog, a chat, a game. I’ve already been an easy prey of this flaws in past, you know (remember when I left the clan?), and probably will be again in future. Sape and me are not cold blooded 🙂

    Blasting misunderstandings easily born. This is due to our limited knowledge of English, to the lack of a facial expressions and voice tone (emoticons can supply to this only in a very limited way). The worst our English knowledge is and the more prone we are to misunderstand or to be misunderstood.

    For what I can read Zapata wasn’t teasing Sape with that “this is a shy way of saying ‘no more’ to the clan”, nor he was questioning the truth of his words, he just asked politely for more informations. And this is a gentle (probably Sape will hate this adjective 😉 ) way to show how much he is interested in other clan members.

    Leaving a game just because one is losing, is not a sports behaviour, but you never can judge what really happened. I left the game so many times just because of a SG crash, or because I had to answer the telephone, or my wife or son needed my attention. Yes, sometimes I left only because I was losing bad, getting so angry against myself that was impossible to continue the game. We are humans, after all.

    In the context of FPS games, we are gentlemen I think, though of a wild kind, killer gentlemen. IMO, it’s OK to back-shoot a player, it’s OK to shoot at him while he is reloading, we talked a lot about these topics… It’s NOT OK to be disrespectful.

    @Sape: I’m happy to see that your last comment/position is much moderate and, in my opinion, more objective. I was fearing that you wanted to leave the clan … Thanks.

  2182. SAPE says:

    I have hot-haded personality you know it. I didn’t be so offensive I think. I admit I have special sense of humor. You know. the Hungarians are strange peoples, I am particularly strange 🙂 Sometimes I am incompatible and detestable, but always fight my right.
    I don’t like the “Gentlemen club” phrase. It is sounds snobbish to me. “welcome to the wild west” you know. There aren’t gentlemens in a FPS game I think. I get some backshot in the clan DM. If you know the “respect” and the “good manners”, you don’t be gentleman.
    I don’t like, when a player, particularly a Lamer leave the game (a clan DM) just because his playing is not the best. It is not respect. (Jippi, this is for you). And Jesse, I know you had to go because Zap need a PC, but there was just 4 minutes before timelimit. (It happend last clanDM)
    I love Zap, and I love all clan member. We are an internacional clan, we are so different, but equally too.
    @grandpa: Thanx the recognition, but you are the engine of the clan. 🙂

    SOLDAS email is dhafer113 [at] live [dot] fr.

    There is also the same email address on facebook and located Gabès, Tunisia.

    wS!!Soldas also located Tunisia.

    Nice Jippi!
    Yes, there is a Soldas banned for aimbot (not necessarily the same):

  2185. JesseJames says:

    OK that says enough I think. An ugly player 🙂

  2186. JesseJames says:

    Wow Biondo what a stats, i’am a little bit shocked by seeing such a views.

    @SAPE, I respect your choice, and you know that I love you very much as player/human. And yes I think everybody loves the nature.
    And I think their is a misunderstanding between Zapa and you.

  2187. Biondo says:

    no no no.

    Let’s talk grandpa…

    Sape, you took Zapa’s words in a wrong way, I think.

    no no no.

    In this clan there is space for artists and for “natural men” (apart from the fact that we are all “natural men”, we all love nature. You don’t know my history in details, Sape… I’m such a “natural men” as you, maybe more because I had to fight, when I was young, to go back to nature).

    no no no.

    Sape, you probably don’t know it, but looking at statistics we have visitors only because of pages published by you and Greyman. Yes, look at stats in the morning (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats).

    Zapa is innocent, you can’t accuse him. He is doing of his best, in this period when he is changing his life.

    I love you, but don’t be so injust.

    As I told you, I think you are born for BR, and DM is just a training for you. But don’t be so hard, there is no reason for that.

  2188. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thank you for your explain.

    “I am tired. I spent too much time playing SG.”
    Just was i thought!

    Bushcraft, a nice contrast program. 😉

  2189. JippiJaYeah says:

    There’s a player with name SOLDAS (maybe = ‘SOLDA$’) on others servers. This player was banned for cheating.

    Maybe it’s the same player?

    • Biondo says:

      Jippi, I remember a player named $oldas or Solda$, I remember that he is in some way a ugly player, but I can’t find anything in Baller database. In any case, this Soldas will not be a future *LAME* member.
      Thanks for suggestion.

  2190. JesseJames says:

    Indeed I was searching for SOLDAS but don’t find him in BB, and I don’t know him very well.

  2191. SAPE says:

    I continue:

    So I like to go to the forest know. I don’t want to play PC games. Everybody is talented in something. Zap, you are artist, you have skill and you will be famous, I now.
    I am a “natural man”, I like to improve my “bushcraft” knowledge. It is important to me.
    You are a gentleman. I am not. So if you say such a thing again (“this a shy way of saying ‘no more’ to the clan”) or you questioning the truth of my words or my “straight nature”, I will go to your “residence” and I will kick your ass. 🙂

    Cheers

    The Beast

  2192. SAPE says:

    Hi!

    At first I would like to say thank to you. I thought I am a n important part of the clan, now I know.

    So I think I must explain:

    I am tired. I spent too much time playing SG. I can’t play just for fun, I play, because I want to better and better player. I am perfectionist I think.
    I think I don’t want to give up my work on the site, I like to continue the Western firearms pages, and I have some new idea too.
    Something about myself:
    Zap, you don’t know me. I have never say: cu later, if I don’t want to come back. If you are online in Jabber more often, perhaps you know me better. I am straight and honest, sometimes rude, but I think the “clear conversation” is much more important.
    I haven’t got enough time now, I continue it latter.

  2193. Biondo says:

    Sorry Soldas,

    we don’t accept players that are not BallerBude’s registered players since months. We are not recruiting (we already are a big clan), but if we had to decide to recruit somebody, we’d accept only well known players that respect all rules listed here:
    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/recruitment/

    Sorry, maybe in the future…

  2194. JippiJaYeah says:

    Indeed, he’s growing up in the last past weeks to a very good professional SG Player. But this has taken a lot of his time, so it will now necessary to take a short (hopefully) break for while.

    Wishing also the best for you.

  2195. Soldas says:

    Please accepte me

  2196. Soldas says:

    I Want to join Lame Clan And i want to test accepte me if you want

  2197. ZaPaTa says:

    SAPE, it’s good you stand up for yourself. A lot of people don’t dare to take a break, ending up with frustrations and eventually a burn-out. Enjoy good company, your dog and that beautiful nature around you. Take some rest, off course.

    Sincerely, I hope you find us back and link up with us after your break.
    You are a very fast learner, skilled very well and perfectly fitting our gentlemen club.

    I’m just a little confused. Are you tired of the clan-life? Or SG? or just in general? Is this a period of reflection (sounding serious :D) conserning the clan or SG. Or is this a shy way of saying ‘no more’ to the clan…
    Can you explain a little, I don’t have to know your reasons, but just your attitude towards clan life now and in the future.

    Wishing you all the best, hope to catch up with you soon on jabber…
    cheers

  2198. Mope says:

    Get a rest and come back as soon as possible! This clan needs you, Sape!

  2199. GREYMAN says:

    Good relaxation SAPE! ( TEMPORARY ) 🙁
    We welcome back! ( CONTINUOUSLY ) 🙂

  2200. Wiskey says:

    Keep good vacation, I hope that you still write on our page sometimes.

  2201. JesseJames says:

    🙁 damn SAPE that is hard for the clan, but I (we) respect your decision. And real life is more important than a game.
    But like biondo said you know to find us on the clansite, BB, and so on.
    We will miss you, hopely it’s not forever, you was one of the strongest persons in the clan (playing and vision on the site). Your progression the last months was amazing.
    tnx for all and we see each other later maybe in game.

  2202. Biondo says:

    🙁
    Playing hard, trying to be a pro, for many hours a day, while contributing to clan life (site pages, comments and Jabber) is stressing for everyone. Particularly for good players.
    A good vacation is sometimes necessary. We take your promise that you’ll come back (when you’ll feel to).

    Beast, you know where to find us, from time to time give us a “Hi”.

  2203. ZaPaTa says:

    Makes us once more a privileged clan, but don’t feel obliged to take up the role if you don’t want it 😉

    • Biondo says:

      🙂 No, seriuosly… I take it because of the esteem I have for @spi, and because TheDoctor is missing. But I’m a zero as administrator without Doc.

      I don’t know if something bad happened to him (I really hope nothing bad happened) or if this marks the end of an era.

  2204. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice addition in the menu, thanks

  2205. JesseJames says:

    Haha epic BIondo 🙂
    everything has his advantages 😉

  2206. GREYMAN says:

    Beware Ugly!
    😀 😀 😀
    GG Biondo, it is a great recognition!

  2207. JesseJames says:

    It was a pity that I must go to ZaPaTa, but first game SAPE was too good, and second match also,… 🙂
    Tnx for playing guys
    and no problem MOPE, BIONDO

  2208. JesseJames says:

    Wowwowowo very very nice work Biondo, I love this caLAMEdar, a massive piece.

  2209. @spi says:

    cool ….

    i have to print the calendar out at work, on a professional color laser, with hight quality paper.

    then i bind it, and place it on the wall in my office 🙂

    thanx mate

  2210. GREYMAN says:

    GG Biondo very nice work thank you!
    😀

  2211. Biondo says:

    @Mope and Zapa, about Santa Klaus: it was something autobiographic in some ways… you see, Santa has big nose and his moustache are yellow of nicotine … like in real Biondo 😀

    And the phrase “Fight for your present!” is a joke about Xmas presents, but also a reference to the fact that we can’t say anymore “Fight for your future!”. The future had been robbed.

  2212. ZaPaTa says:

    Wow wow wow! I think your most impressive piece of work here Sir!
    Some very nice details too in it. I love the way the three logos beneath works really well together and look very professional. Yep, I do love Santa too. Nice to see you’ve added Zapata’s birth and death in it too.

    Wouldn’t we make a ‘download’ page or just a ‘CaLAMEdar’ page in top of the menu, somewhere under Old West, I would say. So people might find it during the whole new year?

    Cheers.

    • Biondo says:

      🙂 Sir, I’m Sir now 🙂

      Thank Zapa for big congratulations. I couldn’t publish a calendar without Zapata’s anniversaries!

      I added the page under “Old West” as you requested.

      Thanks again.

  2213. Mope says:

    Great work, it’s hard for me to estimate, but looks like hard work of many hours, you’re so committed, Biondo!

    I especially love the cowboy Santa with a gun.

    • Biondo says:

      Thanks Wiskey, thanks Mope!

      @Mope: I told you it’s a “recycling” work. No original art, and as base for calendar I used some previous work I made in my daily job.
      Still there are hours of work, stressing checks about dates, numbers alignment, and so on. I hope I haven’t made mistakes.

  2214. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you SAPE!
    First mach : i come too late. 🙁
    Second: You are too good. 🙂
    Sorry i was tired and no opponent for you guys.
    GG!

  2215. Wiskey says:

    Thank you Biondo, you made nice work when you made calendar from your graphics.

  2216. Wiskey says:

    Thanks Sape, it was interesting to test my new settings. I think that Station is good map for me but Sape and Jesse were too good.

  2217. SAPE says:

    Wiskey, Grey: You stayed to the end of the second match. Thanx the game cowboys.

    Oh, I almost forget Geronimow: he joined in the second match. Thank you Geri!

  2218. SAPE says:

    Very nice work Biondo! 🙂
    Your works are invaluable. Thank you.

  2219. Biondo says:

    RADIOHEAD – Open Pick. Nice 🙂

    Thanks Magician for visiting our blog and commenting. Always nice to meet you.

    (and … every Lame member is informed when a new comment is posted).

  2220. Dike aka Magician says:

    hu, really off-topic (feel free to erase this comment later), just stumbled upon this ‘old’ stuff; anyway, let’s share some music here:

    spot the song (not western based) according to the lyrics below, check it out on YT, enjoy 🙂

    “I never really got there
    I just pretended that I had
    What’s the point of instruments
    Words are a sawed off shotgun”

    (the last line actually is the only link between this blog and the song ;D)

    (P.S.: dunno who will get informed of a new post HERE)

  2221. SAPE says:

    I think we don’t scoring these matches.

  2222. Mope says:

    I was too sick to play today. Sorry.

  2223. Biondo says:

    Sorry, real life has interfered.

  2224. Wiskey says:

    Station and Lake

  2225. Biondo says:

    I’ll play. For me, Station and Harbor.

  2226. JesseJames says:

    Oh that’s a pity SAPE, outpost hmm I don’t know that map.

  2227. SAPE says:

    I will be there, but maybe just in spec.
    Maps: Outpost and Darkfort

  2228. ZaPaTa says:

    Well, SOME of us are graphic nerds. But in any case, we’re all LAME for sure 😀

    Your right Biondo about the Site palette. But if it works for a site, it might also work for an image. Sorry about forgetting the categories.
    The SG-theme needs some highlights too. I think I make some Western theme one day, it will have more brightness, more heat in it.

  2229. JippiJaYeah says:

    Ok, thank you for the information.

  2230. GREYMAN says:

    @Biondo: Good question! Hmm I hink O.K. Corral was in october. In March was a stage coach attak. This is only the cause was, but it is my subjective opinion.
    Accurate information was not found. 🙁
    Just this:
    http://clantongang.com/oldwest/gunfight.html

    • Biondo says:

      OK, thank you. I misinterpreted your description of facts. Yes, you said that in March there was a stage coach attack, not the fight at O.K. Corral.

  2231. Biondo says:

    Yes. Update: Mercurius worked hard to prepare the server (in this period they changed hardware and operating system, so they had much work to do, not related to us of course).

    He told me that the server is OK, but he forgot to tell me how can I access MySQL, so I’m waiting for his answer. It looks that he also has a lot of work to do in private real life.

  2232. JippiJaYeah says:

    Is there any update about server migration?

  2233. Biondo says:

    This page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_American_Old_West and this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunfight_at_the_O.K._Corral
    say that the gunfight at O.K. Corral took place on 26th October 1881, not on 15th March 1881. Who is right?

  2234. JesseJames says:

    Hooray @spi is back 🙂

  2235. @spi says:

    lame seems to be a clan of grafic design nerds 😉

  2236. JippiJaYeah says:

    Since weeks, you could see on BB XLRstats that i play with our prefix. I play with the prefix on my fastest PC with Windows. I have another PC with Linux, that is the JJY name. This account was a long time not activated. I don’t know why its now active. In the last days i try some new Linux distribution. For testing the gl driver i used the smokin guns game. But i dont want to take the prefix for the testing.

  2237. GREYMAN says:

    The online world is interesting. The distance is not a problem in no time can People who meet people who come from other countries and cultures.
    Twenty years ago if someone had told me: in 2011 you play together once a week wich YOU GUYS (from Belgium, Italy, Germany, Finland, Israel), just laughed at him.
    😀

  2238. Wiskey says:

    Good story Greyman. You and Sape do interesting stories from wild west heroes, how did you get idea to this?

    • GREYMAN says:

      @Wiskey:
      We are wich SAPE together wild West fun and like play SG.
      It is therefore thought to be of interest to others, who used these weapons and what they were in real life (weapons, heroes).

  2239. GREYMAN says:

    Thanks Guys! 🙂

  2240. JesseJames says:

    Another great story of you Greyman, very nice. You become better and better.
    And yes this person is a legend.

  2241. Biondo says:

    Very nice, Greyman. Thank you.

  2242. Biondo says:

    Wow, nice to see that you found the time to post, Zapa! I’m greed of reading other members’ contributions.

    Good idea to feed Kuler with SG menu, and *LAME* site. No bad palettes at all, though SG’s one is a little bit depressive.

    About our palette: it’s marked by some colours that pertain more to web functionality than to aesthetics: I mean the colours of links, that have to be something in evidence inside a page.
    Still it is quite usable in *LAME* pictures.

    P.S.: I added a category “Graphics” to your post. I hope you aren’t angry.

  2243. ZaPaTa says:

    always nice to have some comment from the heart, I like this tone of voice.
    I mentioned it before in the interview with Mope. Internet is about a certain swiftness, making an online live almost superfluous. People shift sites, games, accounts…all the time so it’s easy to behave irresponsible and childish. That’s why I only want dedicated LAME members, who care for the game, site…
    Cheers

  2244. Biondo says:

    I have to add a comment that comes from my heart: be sensible to kids, be sensible to women. Don’t absorb current culture that wants that online lives have no value. Our online lives have the same value as our true lives. And deserve the same respect!

    [Accept an advice from grandfather ;)]

  2245. Biondo says:

    @Sape: yes, Sarah is a girl. When she played in Baller, she was a minor (like Jesse 🙂 ), and she was object of offensive/sexiest comments. So I proposed to TheDoctor to give her some admin privileges (like to be able to kick an offensive player). TheDoctor agreed, but he wanted to ask the permission to have Sarah email to Frank (her father).

    This looked strange to me at that time, but now I think he was right.

    I don’t know if Doc will come back, I hope so. Since 09/11/2011 (the date of second BB birthday) nobody has seen him. @spi haven’t seen him, he didn’t answered to my emails. All I learned about online gaming comes from Doc, I hope he will be at the guide of Baller soon.

  2246. JesseJames says:

    OK I see it so, I was 17 when I started the clan, a member must be friendly I think their are players who are 20 and play and talk like a child,… So that is not a point for me.
    Second: I think it’s a good idea to look for him for a month or 2, see if he has no warnings, is friendly, plays often,…
    I gave him a bit of lessons last week, like ZaPaTa said. Maybe one thing he can learn is his language :).

    I said to him that I would write him a mail.

  2247. ZaPaTa says:

    How is asking about a mail a problem Biondo?
    Thanks the understanding.

    • Biondo says:

      For what I know, at least in Italy you can’t ask private data (email, address, and so on) to a minor. You should ask to his/her parents.
      But I think that for kind of site we run, we can totally ignore the problem.

  2248. ZaPaTa says:

    Hi All.
    I’m against. Despite the low warnings, there is no reason to add another member. As stated before, we’re not really in need of a new player,
    so if recruit it has to be with a very solid reason (like skills, long-time player)…If we recruit just because we like somebody we appear to have opened up recruitment again.

    About lessons: Jesse often spectate new players and give them advice on binds, keys, small tricks;..I’m sure we could do so in private with one player too. It might be a good help for new players – if we start recruiting once again ofcourse 🙂

    About being 18: I feel and understand you. It’s an old and good value.
    But on the other hand, why? Because we are adults, we make it an adult club? A bit of young blood wouldn’t be so bad, and it restricts our recruiting criteria very hard. So I wouldn’t make it a written clan rule.
    I think ‘being adult’ or ‘responsible and dedicated’ is good enough.
    There is almost no way to proof one is 18 btw. Personally I wouldn’t scan my ID and send it to ‘strangers’ just to join a game….

    • Biondo says:

      About being 18: I also don’t like an “adult club” 🙂
      The problem just arises when you ask for emails. But you are right about the fact that we have no way to proof the age of a player … in the case of Sarah it was simple because we knew her father, in all other cases this could be impossible.

      Conclusion: I agree with you, no written rule about age.

  2249. JippiJaYeah says:

    >>I suppose he is very young (to ask him for an email address,
    >>should we ask to his parents? Maybe, yes).

    So, we need one more point for our clan rules: Must be over 18 years.

    • Biondo says:

      You are right, Jippi. Since we ask for an e-mail address, we have to be assured that members are at least 18 years old.

      BTW, this is what happened when TheDoctor and me accepted Sarah as BB moderator. We asked to her father (Frank) if he agreed (because we needed her email address).

      I understand that in a shit-Facebook world this seems odd, but privacy is still a value in real world and in courts too.

  2250. Biondo says:

    OK. This is a funny guy. Don’t know if I love him or hate him, but sure he is fun. He called me “a legend” 😀 and every time I met him he talked talked talked. Almost spamming.

    BTW, what is a “Short Fuse”?

    I suppose he is very young (to ask him for an email address, should we ask to his parents? Maybe, yes).

    Looking at Echelon, he has only 1 warning (only 1! Very nice) for having said “I Thought I Was Sh*T” 🙂 (OMG, THAT only-first-letter-uppercase key 😉 )

    Apart from email, the problems are 2:

    1– He is a registered player since 22/11/2011. Not enough, let’s wait 1-2 months.

    2– He asks for lessons. Hmm, we never had clan lessons (a thing that I asked since I joined the clan, without a single answer. I taught all I was able to teach in this blog, not only to you, but to the whole world. But we never played to teach each others, we played just to compete).

  2251. JippiJaYeah says:

    Just for ‘ ubojica_djecijeg_lica’ to talk to theWall. 😉

  2252. JesseJames says:

    hehe why you changed of name Jippi?

  2253. JesseJames says:

    hey guys I have just an email of *the quick* Zenior who wants to join our clan. I asked him to send me a mail. this is his mail, not in very good English but I understand him. 🙂

    “Hello My Name Is Ali

    Before I Explain Why I Want To Join I Have Agreed with The Rule, And Only One thing About Me Is I Do Have a Short Fuse…But I tend Not To Take It Out On Players On SG. Or If Anything Will Stop My anger Against Dynamite 🙂

    I Want To Join The Clan As I Feel It Is Official, Not Just A Kiddy Thing, And You Members re Really Friendly. Also You Guys Are Regularly On SG.
    And I Think Its Time For Me To Join a clan, And I Would Love To Have Lessons From Teh Pros :)”

    Thanks For Your Time

    -Ali

    I like his style, and he is friendly. He is new, but is rather good. And he will become better.

    Biondo maybe you can check his warnings and so,…?
    thanks Jesse James

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      “I Do Have a Short Fuse”

      Hehe, sounds like Biondo’s fuse. 😉

      TheWall (Jippi)

  2254. JesseJames says:

    HMmm I missed in the score, I think I counted your points twice or something. I will recount the score.

  2255. GREYMAN says:

    Thanx all. 🙂

  2256. Mope says:

    Very interesting person that James Bowie, thanx Grey!

  2257. JippiJaYeah says:

    “He used the knife very well, and it was necessary for him because firearms then were slowly loadable and imprecise”

    Yeah, exactly my mind.

  2258. JippiJaYeah says:

    I like this neologism BB “lamerick” style very much.
    Great job, Biondo! 🙂

  2259. JippiJaYeah says:

    We played 3 times on Thursday à 2 games, together 6 games.
    I win 5 games. One games i was 2nd. Summarized 5.5 points and
    Sape, you are absolutely right.

    BTW: I think we need some fairer DM rules.

  2260. SAPE says:

    It wouldn’t be correct, because we started the new score table in the end of October. There wasn’t 8 match since then, if every Tuesday is one match.

  2261. SAPE says:

    I have a question: I know that Jippi is by far the best, but if the winner gains 1 point, how can he make 7,5 points in 6 matches?
    Maybe I am wrong, but if you play 6 matches, and win all of them, you have 6 point. This is the maximum.

  2262. @spi says:

    i love and hate this girl !
    first time i saw her in real life, my first thought was :

    she looks more sexy in game !

  2263. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you Jesse! Your jumping style worked. GG! It was a nice game!

  2264. JesseJames says:

    Indeed very wicked game. Never thought that I could win the second game, I thought that Wiskey would win the game. You played fantastic with knifes, long distance, short distance, many headshots. And jumps 😉 I love your style.
    Greyman you played also like a pro, very nice to see you both play so good.
    Tnx you all for the great evening!

  2265. JesseJames says:

    Lol ;@greyman
    very nice page btw (like always ) 🙂

  2266. Wiskey says:

    I only use simple items and picmic 9. And we’ve played in Tijuana and the Station so much that I begin to know them fairly well. And I’ve learned some tricks to play.

  2267. @spi says:

    hehe, i remember when i start online gaming with the release of rtcw 2001, i was totally confused about that chat and expressions like lol or rofl 😉

  2268. ZaPaTa says:

    Ah! didn’t see this page before. Very intressting story about the origin of the word Bowie Knife.
    But thins that strikes me: that wild ruthless knife-street-fighter was able to marry the daughter of a governor! How did he managed!?
    Well I don’t like his haircut, so I wasn’t for his looks I think she married him. Can’t be because he was rich neither 😀 So maybe because she liked danger? 😀

  2269. ZaPaTa says:

    I’m a bit familiar with Urban Dictionary. Listening a lot to Jamaican music, one pics up some ‘strange’ patois (Jamaican Dialect) in song texts. Often Urban Dictionary brings in the answer…
    Very nice addition, this Lamerick…You submitted it in Biondo?

  2270. ZaPaTa says:

    Very nice, too bad it was such a small crowd.
    Jesse indeed has a wicked score…but what really surprises me a lot is the score of Wiskey! Well done!
    Wiskey, tell us, what happened last game? You changed settings? You trained on these maps or you just praticed a lot? You use binds…?
    Very nice performance, good to see you rising!

  2271. Biondo says:

    Never knew about the origin of the name of “Bowie knife”. Interesting history.
    Do you think that because I hate this guy for having been involved in slave-trade, I should also hate our Bowie maniac member, Jippi?

    • GREYMAN says:

      No no no Biondo! 🙂
      I hate slave trading too. Even if the old Wild West, even in the beginning it was accepted.

      I think this knife is a very effective weapon in SG and in real life too. Regardless of who invented.
      I think you/we respect all clan members, and do not hate each other.
      Sorry for the misunderstanding.

      If your question is a joke, my reply is: 😀
      Thanks the visit. 🙂

    • GREYMAN says:

      Over the weekend, when I have time I go up Jabber.
      Seems to be better known to you.
      Dictionary and then those will be SLOW. 😀 😀 😀

    • GREYMAN says:

      Ok Biondo! 🙂

  2272. SAPE says:

    Thanx the game. Very nice Jesse. Congratulation. GG all!

  2273. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you Biondo.
    GG all! 🙂

  2274. Biondo says:

    The scores (Tijuana & Station):

    Small group tonight.
    I spectated, Greyman in the 1.st game and Wiskey in the 2.nd.

    First game: Greyman had a very good start, but next he was overcome by more active players. Jesse — with his new PC — had great results. Sape was slow, and Wiskey at the door.

    Second game: Wiskey had a great performance. Jumping like Jesse :), fast reactions, wow nice player to spectate. All players were very close until the end (Greyman included, nice) but in the end Jesse won again.

    Conclusion: a new Jesse (the same Jesse we saw last week), a tired Sape (but still second in both games), and emerging Wiskey and Greyman. Nice game all.

  2275. Biondo says:

    Tijuana and Station. OK

  2276. SAPE says:

    Great news. Nice graphic Biondo! Thanx

  2277. JesseJames says:

    Haha genious our words in a big dictionary very nice . 🙂
    It’s very fascinating that abbreviations are known in the rest of the world. Very strange.
    Btw nice mindmap BIondo

  2278. Mope says:

    Really sorry folks, can’t make it tonight. See you at the next week DM.

  2279. ZaPaTa says:

    I won’t be there this week again, possible also coming weeks…But I look forward for the scores! Remember, I’m just not there because I left my computer at home while I’m moving out. I think I have a new one within two weeks. Parts will be ordered this weekend 😉
    Just to keep you informed 🙂

  2280. Wiskey says:

    I wil be there. Station and Lake

  2281. SAPE says:

    I will be there. Maps: Tijuana and Station

  2282. JesseJames says:

    Btw my maps, tijuna (because less players), and ghosttown

  2283. JesseJames says:

    I will also come 🙂
    Why you don’t play biondo, it’s much more fun with you

  2284. JippiJaYeah says:

    I’m out too, i’m in hospital. Nothing to be worried about.

    Have fun gringos. 🙂

  2285. GREYMAN says:

    I’ll be there when I get home by then. 🙂
    We miss you Biondo. 🙁

  2286. JesseJames says:

    Scoretable is ready! Jippy is very good, and after him it’s close for the second place 🙂

  2287. GREYMAN says:

    Very nice work SAPE&Mope!
    A perfect summary of Hungary and of course SAPE.
    GG! 🙂
    The dishes I recommend it to everyone. ( hungarian drinks too!)
    😀

  2288. SAPE says:

    OK,OK Zap. Lots of questons. 🙂
    – MOHAA: Medal of Honor Allied Assault.
    – My work is consumer protection now, but my education is agricultural engineer.
    – Archery: Yep, it bring back to wild life, it is a meditative activity for me.
    – Yep, the paprika came from America. It appeared in Hungarian foods in the XIX. century, and became one of the most important spice.

    • Biondo says:

      About meditation: you surely have read the book “Zen in the Art of Archery” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_in_the_Art_of_Archery [I haven’t].

      About foods: also Italian cooking was totally changed by the introduction of American plants, think of tomato (pizza, pasta), potato, beans, corn (polenta) …

      • SAPE says:

        @Biondo: No, I haven’t read this book, but I know this type of archery.
        The difference between this style and my style: the “zen-archers” deepens themselves, I deepens the nature, I become part of the nature.
        The archery evolved 20.000 years ago.

        In this topic I suggest a very intresting book:

        Hunting with the Bow and Arrow by Saxton Pope

        You can find it here:

        http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/8084

        It is a very intresting reading.

  2289. Biondo says:

    In his comment to Mope/Sape interview (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/members/sapes-interview/#comment-1834), Zapata said: “I didn’t know people where losing their interest”, hmm, I suppose that with that “some of clan members”, Mope was talking about me 🙂 Yes, I have a problem with Thursdays’ deathmatches. Call it “performance anxiety” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_fright) :), I usually try to play the first match and just wait for the end of the second one as liberation. I need a temporary vacation from Thursdays’ deathmatches.

  2290. ZaPaTa says:

    SAPE, why is paprika and chilis so common in Hungarian food? I thought they came from America?

  2291. ZaPaTa says:

    Wow! Nice work Mope & SAPE! But this just feels like this interview is just revealing the tips of the SAPE worlds and is raising more questions than answers 😀 first comment. I find the abbreviations a bit difficult. What’s MOHAA?

    Some straight forward questions there Mope, well done. But I feel the need to react a bit. Concerning other clans. I like people, sometimes they belong to a clan and sometimes they play alone. I don’t feel the need to compete against a group or a clan. I don’t like competition that much. Or as Biondo once said, this clan is not about rolling our muscles and show of our ‘power’.
    Concerning our weekly DM; I didn’t know people where losing their interest, but if so, that explains why most people leave after 2 matches. Maybe it’s a good idea to think about something we add. Like Special Bude. Or a TDM against another clan, if you like to meet other clans?
    Concerning the teamplay in BR, nice argument SAPE about the average age of the LAME’ers, I think it’s true but I never thought about it in that way.

    I also envy your environment. I believe you when you say you can’t imagine otherwise. But agricultural engineer? I thought you protected customers rights?
    Nice bow…Hmm arching sounds very very tempting. I believe I’ll try it some day too. Indeed, it bringt you back to wild life, isn’t?

    Cheers SAPE & Mope, hope to catch up with you soon on Jabber, once my personal internet and computer have arrived.

    • Biondo says:

      Zapata said: “… this interview is just revealing the tips of the SAPE worlds …”. I thought it was only my impression, I thought “it’s because I already talked with Sape in jabber about most part of his answers”, but no, you are right. In some ways this interview is not as revealing as Zapata/Mope one.

  2292. Wiskey says:

    Hungary sounds exotic country.

  2293. JesseJames says:

    Wow nice interview.
    BTW: your dog is cool, just like the landscape:),
    Ah goulash, my mother makes it a lot in the winter, but it’s not really the same of your recipe but it’s also very delicious.

  2294. Mope says:

    I just wanted to say, that I’m buying today ingredients for the goulash.

    • SAPE says:

      Nice Mope! 🙂

      @Biondo: Indeed it is a fatty recipe. It is the reason of I like it. 😉

  2295. Biondo says:

    The fascinating world of Sape! I feel some envy for your living environment and your style of life, Sape. Nice interview, Mope.

    • SAPE says:

      Thanx Biondo! Will you try to prepare some of the recipes?

      • Biondo says:

        Well, I know Goulash, and I had prepared it in past times (with original Hungarian paprika), it’s delicious.
        About your noodle recipe, hmm, I’m skeptical… It’s a sort of nonsense, too much fats; I think I know better noodle recipes in the domain of Mediterranean diet 🙂

  2296. SAPE says:

    Thanx Mope 🙂

  2297. ZaPaTa says:

    Interesting to see some ‘hole’s’ between 4 and 5 pm…there is a dark side!

  2298. JesseJames says:

    Oops I will put the scores in the table this evening or tomorrow.

  2299. JesseJames says:

    very interesting page, a lot of information. Very good work SAPE. But it’s not my weapon 🙂

  2300. SAPE says:

    Thanx all!

  2301. Biondo says:

    A rifle as long as I’m tall? Hmm, maybe it’s good for you Sape, but not for me 🙂
    Nice page, Sape!

  2302. GREYMAN says:

    Nice page Sape!
    I’ve heard this somewhere. 😀

  2303. GREYMAN says:

    Hard game, good player, GG Sape!
    You used Peacemakers, i use Schofields. Not my style not my weapon. I think Biondo’s advice is very good. I used in single game, it works.
    Sometimes it also depends on luck.

  2304. Wiskey says:

    Sape, your weapon introduces are very accurate. It is interesting to read your weapon introduces.

  2305. Wiskey says:

    I played in BB yesterday and it worked fine.

  2306. Mope says:

    Poor thing, she works around the clock, the only hours she has a little rest are few evening hours. Who am I to complain about worker’s rights and overdue working hours!

    Bots must have rights too!

  2307. GREYMAN says:

    LOL Biondo! 🙂

  2308. Biondo says:

    Hehe, you are close, Jesse. No, Fuzzy is this: http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=12
    It is AwesomePossum. I thought it was fun to share this view of the “other side” of Baller, it clearly shows you the time of the day when more/less players are joining the server.

  2309. JesseJames says:

    Hmmm buy another colt instead of reloading, I will check it out. 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Check it! Of course it’s no so frequent case that you are healthy, you have 2 Colts and still money to buy another. But in that case, buying you have a bonus: a new fill of bullets. If you buy bullets you loose money and still have to reload the Colt.

  2310. JesseJames says:

    It’s FuzzyQJones? :p

  2311. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    http://bb.game-host.org/demos/1f8217a0_dm_fort_0128.dm_68

    Please see it critically and give some advice. What can I do better?
    I choose this demo, because my skill evaluate better against good/top player. Biondo? Jippi? Mope?

    • Biondo says:

      I watched the whole demo, and I didn’t find anything wrong. Nice game Sape!

      Of course when you watch a demo you see many little “mistakes” that you don’t see when you are playing:

      1:40: you didn’t see the player on the roof (probably I hadn’t see him also, but maybe you can try to change your video settings: brightness, picmip, and os on).

      2:16: you also didn’t notice another player, that probably had just respawned. But about this last “mistake” I have to add one important thing: the demo is recorded serverside, so it doesn’t correspond exactly to what you saw in your client. It’s possible that your client hadn’t drawn the player in time.

      9:30: Probably better buying immediately a second Colt… (you are on the roof of building — alone and healthy — with sounds of enemies approaching you).

      12:13: The game is close to the end, you have money… don’t waste time reloading the Colt, buy immediately another one.

      Overall impression is of an almost perfect game, with good strategy and fast reactions.

  2312. JesseJames says:

    Wow, never seen this before that the server is full, yesterday and today no time to play. 🙁
    Good to know that BB is online.

  2313. Biondo says:

    I see only now that nobody updated the score table.
    As I asked other times in past, please, is there anyone who wants to do it regularly?

    I already publish a weekly post asking for map vote, and put screenshots online at the end of deathmatch. I don’t want to do this work too.

  2314. Biondo says:

    Ok, thanks Grey and Sape for infos.

  2315. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I checked, it works correctly now. Maybe Doctor solved the problem.
    Anyway, yesterday afternoon, early evening, there was invasion on BB. There server was absolutely full, there were 5 player joined spec., because he couldn’t join, there wasn’t any empty capacity.
    I went to Special Bude that time, there were 8 or 10 players. It was surprising.
    And the other surprising thing: the players who played both servers are unknown for me. I haven’t seen the 70 percent of them.
    Maybe some other server crashed, and lots of player came to BB and SB.
    So the server was overloaded strongly yesterday.

  2316. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    I just checked BB, I could go without any hassles. Try it. If you can’t connect, than see TN. 🙂

  2317. Wiskey says:

    Thanks Sape. It was good game. Mope, you are good player still.

  2318. SAPE says:

    Nice games, thanx all.
    Great work Jippi and Jesse.
    Biondo, everybody has some bad day. Next Thursday you will win, I know.
    Wiskey, you become better and better.
    Mope, I know, if your connection was better, you could fight for the wining position.

  2319. JesseJames says:

    I found it a real nice game, my pc works for the full 100 %, my new settings works good and so i’am happy with my scores. It was a pity that I don’t win the second game, but Jippi was too good :).
    Jippi you were very good. Mope had again problems with provider and again no points for he.
    And biondo was very good in game one, but in game 2 he needed a cigarette? 🙂

    Tnx all!

  2320. GREYMAN says:

    GG all!
    Sorry, but i worked. I now get back home. 🙁
    Next time!

  2321. Biondo says:

    Scores. Station, Ghosttown:

    Jippi, very good (as always). Jesse, a revelation, and more in his second match. Nice game. Sape, nice. Mope, fighting with his provider. Zapata and Greyman busy in real life. Wiskey improved is skills. Trolol (thanks Sape for this word) elsewhere. Biondo, tired 🙂

  2322. JesseJames says:

    The santa fé express? :p

  2323. SAPE says:

    It is a Long Black Train Biondo. 😉
    Thanx.

  2324. Biondo says:

    OK. Station & GhostTown.

    Found here: http://weheartit.com/entry/11465860

  2325. SAPE says:

    Ok.
    Alamo is out. I am laggy in Deadwood. Ghosttown is good choice, maybe Station would be a good one.

  2326. JesseJames says:

    @biondo indeed Alamo lags on my pc…
    Maybe a new map like : station and an old like Ghosttown.

  2327. *TheQuick* Zenior says:

    Lol It A Habit I Have And It Not he PC it me.

    And How About A Custom Map Somebody madE?

    • Biondo says:

      We Can Only Choose Maps That Are Already In Terra Nova Map Cycle. Also Nobody Of Us Is A Mapper.
      You’Ll Find New Maps In Any Case, But Be Sure To Play With SG 1.1b4 (The Beta Version) And To Allow Downloading (See: http://bb.game-host.org/update/).

      And…You Bet It! I’Ve Found The Key 🙂

  2328. JippiJaYeah says:

    Ok Sape, then i take the Jupiter map, where no bullets will arrive me. 😉

    Your weight on other worlds: http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/

  2329. Biondo says:

    The problem with Alamo is that JesseJames’s PC lags in that map. So, no Alamo, please.

  2330. Smokin Guns FTW 😀

    • Biondo says:

      FTW? Which one??

      1. Fuck the world
      2. For the win
      3. What the fuck [backwards]
      4. Free the whales
      5. Forever two wheels

      [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ftw]

    • SAPE says:

      😀

  2331. I Think That Smallish Map, The Alamo I Think The First One On The Map List It Nice And Small And Lots Of Kill 😀

    TheQuick!

    • Biondo says:

      TheQuick, in my keyboard I have just a “Caps lock” key, where did you find that “Only-The-First-Letter-Of-Each-Word-Capitalized” key? 🙂

      • SAPE says:

        Maybe He Have A “QuickLock” Key…. 😀
        I suggest Alamo and Ghostown, if Jippi won’t be there. If Jippi will be there, I suggest Tijuana and Tijuana….. 😉

  2332. ZaPaTa says:

    Have fun all! Nice graphic as usual Biondo

  2333. ZaPaTa says:

    That’s a nice thought @spi. Heavy too.
    But no need to be worried, I’ll be back.

  2334. Mope says:

    I’ll come in romantic mood, with roses, candies and bottle of Molotov. Than I’ll show you how hot is my passion to Lameclan.

    Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire

    Ghost Town and Deadwood

    • Biondo says:

      May I suggest a pair of appropriate Roses Cowboy Boots for the event, Mope?

      Or maybe these:

  2335. Wiskey says:

    Deadwood and Alamo

  2336. @spi says:

    sounds like a project ! is there a live without my pc ? without SG/BB internet shit, facebook, xing and the daily communication/information overflow feeded by ? i dont know… and i dont care … some times i am bored about it, sometimes i am drunk/fascinated/drugged by … but often i thought … remember the times where :

    – your fone was cable based with a dial plate
    – twix was called raider
    – for an undergound/independent concert you pay less than 10 $
    -biondo was admin@bb (i wish him back !)
    – my hairs where more black than grey

    … however

    stay together friends, i thought we are on the same stream !

  2337. JesseJames says:

    Zapata, why you don’t play, with me now Thursday,with the laptop?

  2338. Biondo says:

    You are going to migrate before this site. You win!
    Good luck with your new life, Zapa. See you and thanks for info.

    [Zapa is moving, with the help of his friends.]

  2339. Biondo says:

    This is my definitive conclusion about negative timenudge.

    I switched back to cl_timenudge “0”, around 10 days ago.

    With negative timenudge my ratio didn’t improve, all I got was a smoother game, but at a price: I was an easier target (or at least this is what I felt), and every player, looking at my ping, thought that I had a real advantage (and I had not. It was just a virtual low ping).

    Negative timenudge gives you a virtual low ping, not a real one. Your client extrapolates your opponents’ position, sometimes mistakenly. A good ping is a good ping, negative timenudge doesn’t change your ping. It’s just an illusion.

  2340. Wiskey says:

    Good photos Sape, You are good photographer, better than me

  2341. ZaPaTa says:

    Excellent! very nice graphic Biondo…Picking up the theme I mentioned before in the Mope Interview: Nostalgia! We didn’t had those dresses, but we invented a lot of weapons with all kind of sticks 🙂 Memories…

  2342. SAPE says:

    Thanx all.
    @Mope: Yep, there are frozen spider webs.

  2343. GREYMAN says:

    Nice pics Sape. Let your dog take photos? 😀

  2344. JesseJames says:

    Normally in Belgium it’s also ‘cold’ in this months. But now it’s very warm and dry. It’s not normal,… climatechange?

    Ontopic: Nice pictures SAPE; ZaPaTa makes also pictures, so he will like your pics too.

  2345. Biondo says:

    Nice photos, Sape! Thanks for sharing.
    It’s cold here too (under 0°C, in the morning) but I suppose that where you live is colder.

  2346. Mope says:

    Very nice pics of a true nature admirer. Well done, Sape. Makes me nostalgic to Europe. What are these beautiful strings – are those frozen spider webs?

  2347. SAPE says:

    😀
    Excellent Biondo! Thanx!

  2348. GREYMAN says:

    I saw your post Zap. In Hungary, there were no more such cartoons when I was a kid./unfortunately/ I knew Blueberry only movies. /With Vincent Cassel, Michael Madsen it is one of my favorites./ But i also know that Belgium and France are the homelands of the comics. 🙂

  2349. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you guys.
    @Mope: I also think the same way.

    @Zapata: 😀 I have two person during translation, and more two during drafting.

    @Jippi: You have right it is a interesting contradiction.

  2350. Biondo says:

    😀 I’m happy you like it, Jesse. When I saw it, I saw 2 well known brothers in front of my eyes. Hehe.

  2351. JesseJames says:

    Haha epic picture Biondo. I know the time that we were recruiting in our first months. 🙂 2 months before you came to our clan. 🙂

  2352. JesseJames says:

    @Biondo, we have two pc’s one with white asteriks, and one with red asteriks. 🙂
    But ZaPaTa and I have always problems to see my name in red colour, you see always grey . And I see that you have the same problem. Don’t know why.

  2353. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Yesterday there were great games. Thanx all.
    @Biondo: My choices are Peacemaker and sawed-off. I uses sawed-off yesterday in Tijuana. The reason is simple: small map, lot of player. And one more reason: I promised to Jippi I try to catch him. My best chance is Tijuana-sawed-off shotgun combo, considering Jippi’s style, skill, accuracy and speed.
    I focused the first match, I tried to do my best.
    Jippi, thanx the game. You play great but yesterday the chicken-Beast caught you. 😀

  2354. Biondo says:

    Did you notice that in score screenshots, Jippi and Greyman have a white name while Jesse has a grey one? 🙂
    Why?
    And why Jesse doesn’t have red asterisks?

    • GREYMAN says:

      When I started playing my name in this color was only the first letter was great. I went back to the beginning. 🙂

  2355. GREYMAN says:

    GG all!
    I have ping problem in the first match. 🙁
    It is not my day too.
    Let’s establish a club Mope! 😀

  2356. JesseJames says:

    First game was like always in Tijuana, shooting shooting, pure anarchic situations. Molotovs, smoke, and lots of bullets. Best map ever in Terra Nova 🙂 And I like my score, pure adrenaline. It”s a pity that I have no points. Nice score SAPE

    second map: it’s more difficult map, more skills, less luck. And my score was not bad, but also not good. Well played Zapa and ofcourse Jippi.

    I think it’s the first time that everyone played, and I like it.

    Tnx the game.
    You are all fantastic.

  2357. Wiskey says:

    I made something configuration and it help. My score in Tijuana is better than normal. Or I has only good luck…. Mope has now bad day.

  2358. Biondo says:

    Here are the scores:

    Jippi is always “our Jippi”. No doubt. Maybe not in his better day, but great as always.

    But SAPE won the first round. Very nice, SAPE! But I have to add that shotgun doesn’t fit all maps and situations. I hope you don’t want to follow the example of TheUgly (or the example of the “first” Biondo). Use all weapons … no, use the best weapon in each situation. Don’t get stuck to shotguns, they are like a drug.

    Jesse, nice performance in the first round. Very nice. So nice as Zapata’s performance in the second one.

    Mope had a crash. Too bad, sorry for you.

    Biondo…

    Quotes.

    *LAME* Jesse James: let the beast go

    *LAME* Jesse James: buajak in my face

    *LAME*ZaPaTa: his was badddd

    *LAME*Mope: mine crashed ((

    *LAME*ZaPaTa: i cant aim today 🙁

  2359. Wiskey says:

    How I can use these binds? When I put to console example something weapon bing I don’t get it? How these works?

  2360. ZaPaTa says:

    CommancheCanyon is second biondo, I just mentioned Lake, but just for a warm up.
    So this makes CommancheCanyon and Tijuana…if CommancheCanyon is DM off course.

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you Zapa. You are right ComancheCanyon is only for Bank Robbery in TN.

      So: Tijuana and Greenhill Lake.

  2361. Biondo says:

    Looking at comments, Tijuana is a must! So we’ll start from there. Sure a good map for fireworks and fun.

    I think Lake is the second more requested map. I don’t like it so much, but OK.

    Tijuana and Lake. Next TDM in Nargajunas for those who are still alive.

  2362. GREYMAN says:

    I’ll be there!

  2363. GREYMAN says:

    GG! It was really interesting Mope and Zap.
    I look forward to the next. 🙂

  2364. JesseJames says:

    Wow interesting page Mope and Zapa , nice style of interviewing. I look forward to the next interview!

  2365. @spi says:

    😉

    where to mate ? cu,kind regards
    markus

  2366. ZaPaTa says:

    Smoked tuna…? 😀
    Words and Pictures are my interest Biondo…no mather the ‘shape’. I often write a bit, or some translations, etc..An Antropology and other ‘human’ science is a major interest yes. (Hey! this article is not about me!)
    Work situation would make a fine question, and also history of Europe, although a tough one indeed.
    Concerning the italic, it’s up to the next editor…I noticed my code often failed, especially breaks 🙁 I’m no good lay-outer for website texts.

    • Biondo says:

      There is no interview without an interviewer, Zapa! There are 2 thinking brains in the dance. 🙂

  2367. Biondo says:

    Wow! That’s great! I’m saying it sincerely. Yep 🙂

    First of all my congratulations to Zapa.
    You have an experienced style in interviewing people (did you frequent anthropologist associations/groups, Zapa?). I love your style, you could be a good journalist. A masterpiece.
    [Only one observation (this is my nature: to criticize about details also when I’m enthusiastic about the whole, please tolerate it): the use of italic fonts is not enough to discern what you say from what Mope says. IMO, better to add your comments at the end of interview, or join your comment to your next question.]

    Mope, I “know” you because we talked together so many times, but you impressed me with your answers, you are so professional. I feel envy. Your personal history is so interesting that made me think more than once about our story (our = of us, sons of Europe, intended in a wide meaning). But I don’t want to charge you with the weight of a whole century and a whole continent. Correctly, Zapa’s interview is modest enough about this.
    What I’d also had liked to read here is something about your work situation in Israel.
    And about smoked tuna in extreme conditions.

  2368. Wiskey says:

    Interesting interview Mope and Zapata. I am always wonder where Mope nick is from.

  2369. Wiskey says:

    Deadwood and Lake

  2370. SAPE says:

    Great work Zap and Mope. Congratulation.

  2371. ZaPaTa says:

    I could do so but it will limits the sorts of questions and so result. Different people makes different results; but you’re idea of a chain sounds great. As long as one is willing to continue the series off course, no pressure.
    Glad I was also of any help. But I really love to analyze and systematize, it’s a bit my nature.

  2372. Mope says:

    But of course, If Zapata wants to continue interviewing, he has a credit here, do you think you can handle more, Zap?

  2373. ZaPaTa says:

    I posted once some shots out of a Belgium comic called Blueberry. Doc is taking part as a character in some of them, a couple of tales centered around the shooting at the OK coral.

  2374. Mope says:

    I believe, it’s my turn now, that’s can be interesting to turn the interviewed person into interviewer. But if we want this process to make a chain reaction the interviewed must be someone else, and the last one will close the circle. What do you think? I’m going ask people on jabber if they want to give an interview, because I don’t want to cause any pressure here.

  2375. Mope says:

    Thanx a lot for patience and all that diligent work done on this interview, thnx a lot, it was very interesting for me too. Sometimes it’s hard to analyze, systematize and generalize processes, but this interview helped me to make order in some basic questions.

  2376. JippiJaYeah says:

    Which map? Hmm…, i find you everywhere. 😉

  2377. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice artwork! I’ve seen some of his works in museums, really spectacular.
    I like Lake too, maybe to warm up…Def. Tijuana…weekly hilarious fun there.
    Rest is same for me, so CommancheCanyon sounds fun

  2378. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    I will be there.
    Tijuana is a bestseller, I vote it. I very laggy on Deadwood, but the ComancheCanyon would be a good choice, but I think this map just work in BR mode, isn’t it?

  2379. JesseJames says:

    I don’t know the map COmancheCanyon, if the map is voted by the other players, I will play tomorrow once.
    And Tiujana was the map that I won last week 😉 a good sign? 🙂

  2380. Biondo says:

    Tiujana is great, but maybe too small for around 10 players (well, not too small for shotgunners 😉 ).
    I vote for ComancheCanyon and Deadwood.

  2381. JesseJames says:

    Haha great artwork Biondo, and that is an Belgium painter 😉

    I’am ready for it! My maps: station, Tiujana (no Alamo tiny 2 for me, my pc is lagging all the time if I play on that map)

  2382. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thank you for the history.

    Btw: Is the name Oakley involed in glasses?

  2383. Mope says:

    Really fascinating character. Thanx a lot, Grey.

  2384. SAPE says:

    Nice page Grey. 🙂

  2385. ZaPaTa says:

    Damn Grey, if we would look for a nickname, you would be ‘The Man Who Writes Faster than I Can Read”.
    Nice page, but I have to admit I have to read them all again properly once I find the time! GJ!

  2386. GREYMAN says:

    @biondo: Thank you. 🙂

    @Jesse: Talk maybe with Sarah she shoot excellent, but she like Peacemakers akimbo not rifles. 🙂 😀 🙂

    Thanks all visitors.

  2387. JesseJames says:

    @JippiJaYeah I have sometimes also that feeling, but not frequently.

  2388. JesseJames says:

    Wow nice page about this fantastic women. She looks very special, you know one women who can shoot like she? 🙂
    Very Nice page!

  2389. JippiJaYeah says:

    It seems that the server get more & more slowly. 🙁

  2390. Biondo says:

    She robbed my heart! You know I’m romantic. Bye bye, AwesomePossum.

    Nice, Grey.

  2391. SAPE says:

    Thanx Mope, Jesse.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuP6rh4THQ4

    I found a good video about loading sequences of the percussion revolvers.

  2392. JesseJames says:

    Hehe the love for the colt is bigger than before :). Great work SAPE!

  2393. Mope says:

    Great and very informative post, Sape!
    Those guns are so big! I have some associations with dinosaurs, who had to become smaller and more effective, or simply got extinct.

  2394. SAPE says:

    It is new for me too. Thanx Biondo.

  2395. Biondo says:

    Good work, Sape. Well documented and illustrated also with some of my favourite western movies. So many Colts, such a long page. Thank you.

  2396. GREYMAN says:

    Nice work Sape! Accurate information.
    I have a question.
    I read that the Colt Dragon revolver during the American Civil War made of bronze because the southerns have bad matrial conditions. It is true or just a legend?

    • SAPE says:

      At first I think it is true, because somewhere I read it too. I made some research, but I can’t find anything about it. Probably it is a legend.

      • David says:

        Perhaps you’re thinking of the Confederate copies of the 1851 Navy made at Griswoldville. They were made with brass frames because the south was running out of materials for manufacturing. Some of them even (I’ve heard) have a red orange tint to the frame because they added copper when they were running short on everything else. Apparently they were pretty expensive (about $40 as compared to the Colt which was about $15). I looked this up after watching the first episode of Hell on Wheels. A major plot point is that the protagonist is known to be carrying a Griswold, which is easy to pick out because of the yellow frame.

    Hehe. Great. I saved it. 🙂 Biondo, did you make this picture?

  2398. Biondo says:

    The names of those who died in this epic battle will forever remain etched in stone: http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?p=22293#22293

    i agree, condump can be useful sometimes. i managed to fix some stupid conversations i had with some other guys and posted them online later, cos it was all a nuisance and had to be brought to the people >:-p

  2400. @spi says:

    you are realy an enthusiastic, fanatic/crazy q3 based engine gamer ….

    cool 😉

  2401. Mope says:

    Thanks, Biondo (The Guru)! Very useful tool!

  2402. JesseJames says:

    Indeed that is something new for me, I will try it.

  2403. Jippi says:

    Sorry for yesterday, i fallen asleep.

    GG Jesse & Sape.
    It looks Zap is a always 2nd constant player.

  2404. @spi says:

    iam always loosing against such skilled lame guys.
    next time i try to drink much more beers, maybe it helps 😉

    thanx 4 the good game

  2405. JesseJames says:

    Nice song SAPE

  2406. JesseJames says:

    Tnx SAPE,
    What a game was the second map. I taught that I was out for victory but I had a big wave. 🙂 The adrenaline was high yesterdaynight.
    And yes ZaPa was very good, he never played so good.
    Tnx for such a good game!

  2407. SAPE says:

    One of my friend has some bison. He lives near to my hometown.
    They are fantastic animals. 🙂

  2408. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    It was great game. Thanx all. GG all.
    The first map is my map, the sawed-off tactics work there well.
    The second map is a less-known map for me. It isn’t a sawed off map. There were some snipers on the roofs. I can’t find good positions there. Nice Jesse and Zap. 🙂

  2409. Mope says:

    Indeed, one of the best lameclan deathmatches ever!

  2410. GREYMAN says:

    GG all! 🙂

  2411. Biondo says:

    OK, the scores.

    Big news tonight! Sape has been very good in the first round (this is not news) … but “original” *LAME* brothers are back!

    Zapa discovered headphones (I told you 4 months ago Zapa when I saw your demo, “Use headphones, Zapa”, hehe).

    Jippi wasn’t here, and this was an advantage for all of us.

    @spi wasn’t in his best night, distracted by sons. And Biondo, with his low virtual ping, proved that negative timenudge doesn’t help 🙁

    Quotes from the game dialogues:

    “*LAME*ZaPaTa: why I cant fininish anybody :(”

    “*LAME*Mope: you’re all so punctual… Europeans, what can I say!”

    “*LAME*Mope: some Indian runs here with a knife!”

    “*LAME*ZaPaTa: wait I’m winning :D”

    “*LAME*Biondo: zAPA IS A BEAST”

    “@spi: horrible to play with idiots like you :)”

    *LAME*Mope: evil”

    “*LAME*Biondo: i cultivated snakes in my heart”

    “*LAME*ZaPaTa: its a thing called headphones … so its headphoneism”

    “*LAME*ZaPaTa: brothers work it out”

    “*LAME*Mope: Jesse and Zap …what a comeback!”

  2412. GREYMAN says:

    Nice poster Biondo!
    Sorry , but i skip this game.
    I have tendonitis. My right hand is two or three days useless. 🙁
    Come on everyone!

    • Biondo says:

      Bad news Grey. Go to see a doc as soon as possible.

      • GREYMAN says:

        Thank you Biondo, I’ve been. Rest, Fastum gel, etc…
        If the situation does not improve on Monday, I’m going back.

  2413. Biondo says:

    Thank you Zapa. To be honest, it’s so heavily inspired by some posters I saw (http://jasonmunn.com/out_of_print_posters.php), that it’s almost plagiarism. Maybe I’ll remove it tomorrow.

  2414. ZaPaTa says:

    Can’t promise anything – again –
    but I love that graphic Biondo.
    Well done and thx for the invite yesterday. But I was ruined, so 🙁

  2415. SAPE says:

    I am ready. Cu. 🙂

  2416. JesseJames says:

    Indeed great fun yesterday!

  2417. JesseJames says:

    I’am ready after a great birthday yesterday 😉

  2418. Wiskey says:

    I don’t know if I can come to clan war, my cousin has birthday today.

  2419. SAPE says:

    Yesterday evening was great and fun. 🙂
    Thanx the game. GG all. Cu tonight evening.

  2420. Biondo says:

    Really fun day in Baller. Nice to play again against BB admins (@spi, TheDoctor, but I haven’t seen Doppelkuplungsgetriebe), nice also to meet long time players (-nox-floppy, XOP clan members) and new players together.
    Some games knives-only, some others just for shotguns, fluctuating scores, one crash, a beasty Sape …

    And tonight Thursday clan deathmatch is waiting.

  2421. ZaPaTa says:

    Mope, I hope you read this. I’ve sended you a little document with some questions, basics for my interview. Just let me know if you got it and what you think of it. Cheers!

  2422. ZaPaTa says:

    Ah true, That’s El Paso. I remember watching a Sergio Leone movie and noticing ‘Eh! that place is a map in SG’ but I never remember the exact name of that map. Mystery solved, it’s El Paso.
    Any other settings you know? Cheers!

  2423. ZaPaTa says:

    Yep, a round of Whiskey in the Bar at El Paso 🙂
    Two years have gone fast. Happy Birthday BB,
    and hopefully we can enjoy our favourite server for a very loooong time 🙂

  2424. JesseJames says:

    Happy Birthday Ballerbude! 1,2,3 psssss (firework)
    Pff 2 years gonna fast 🙂

    Tnx to all to play with me 🙂 It was/is fun with all of you.
    Let’s celebrate this with a good glass 😉

  2425. GREYMAN says:

    Happy Birthday BB!

  2426. JippiJaYeah says:

    BANG BANG BANG!!! Happy Birthday Ballerbude!!!

  2427. lolol, Round Rock ;D

    yeah, happy birthday to Baller Bude, not necessary to mention all dudes that appreciate that server much – amongst the best servers out there, and imho the best DM server. thx a lot 🙂

    cya folks @ the party

  2428. @spi says:

    unbeliveable, our baby is 2 years old 🙂

    thanx for the gratulations, and also from me :

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY BB !

  2429. Wiskey says:

    Happy Birthday Baller! “You are always on my mind, you are always on my mind”

  2430. JippiJaYeah says:

    Love El Paso – i grew up from 1972 to 1975.

  2431. Biondo says:

    Yees … it’s true, it’s ElPaso. And ElPaso map was inspired by Sergio Leone movies (filmed in Tabernas). The circle is closed.

    Nice composition/photo anywhow.

  2432. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thats the map El Paso.

  2433. SAPE says:

    Happy Birthday BB!
    I think we could give a gift: this evening we play as much as we can, or much more. 🙂

  2434. JesseJames says:

    Nice picture ZaPaTa 😉

  2435. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I saw the pictures of Tabernas. Wow, It has a very-very good mood. Thanx Zap. 🙂

  2436. Sunrise says:

    Hi,
    Its me ;D.
    First of all i have compliment your blog, i really like reading it, your informations are interesting and pretty helpful for beginners as well as for advanced players.
    I will just drop a few words on the timenudge topic.
    In the past a spend a lot time in optimizing my q3config, so i read a lot in quake 3 forums. Timenudge is one of the most discussed topics there.
    Here is my resume:
    -the command is cl_timenudge, cl is the short form of client
    =>its only clientside
    => it doesnt affect the server in any way, it only changes how you see your enemies on your screen, but not how they see you.
    In my view complaining about a negative timenudge value that “makes you hard to hit ” is only an excuse by bad uninformed players.
    However there is one reasons why i dont like timenudge:
    Timenudge isnt some magic stuff which knows what will happen in the future, it caluclates (predicts) the positions of your enemies.
    The point is timenudge cant calculate when they change their direction => the postion of your enimies on your screen and their real postion are completly different
    => then when you get the true informations form the server, they will beam.
    So its harder for you to hit them.
    For example you are playing with timenudge -50.
    Your enemy is moving left, then he changes his direction and moves to the right, on your screen he will still move left for 50 ms while he moves right in real.
    But if you have high ping (like 100 or higher) its almost impossible to aim accurate and you can profit of a negative timenudge.

    Maxpackets are much more important, if you find the right value depending on your fps and maxfps your game will run smoother and its easier to aim. For more information look here:
    http://www.funender.com/quake/console/q3connection.html

    Greetings and best wishes,
    Sunrise

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you very much for your contribution, Sunrise.
      When I published this post, I wished to hear comments also from players outside our clan, players that better than me are able to understand and explain the matter.

      Your comment is very clear and confirms totally what I thought.

      Thanks also for the link to F3quake, a site that I didn’t know. Though SG and Quake3 are not exactly the same thing, I think that their guide can be applied to SG too (or not?).

      • Sunrise says:

        Im 99% sure that it works (sg is based on q3), i experimented a lot with those commands i can feel the differnce.
        Take some time and give it a try.

  2437. SAPE says:

    My connection is crashed too, Biondo. Cu this evening. 🙂

  2438. Biondo says:

    Damn, lately the server at Jabber.org seems to have some problems. I often get disconnected.

    This is a server problem, not dependent from the client.
    Sorry Sape, sorry Mope… I didn’t disconnect. Just to let you know.

  2439. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    My experiences are the same as your Biondo. The negative TimeNudge make more continuous gameplay, less lag, more fun.

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you Sape for your contribution. You are the one that opened my eyes about negative timenudge when you said that the main (and maybe only) advantage of negative timenudge is a smooth gameplay.

  2440. Biondo says:

    OK… “This is a good day to die” could sound too strong, and it has to, because its use is limited to exceptional challenges.

    Maybe for your quite everyday feeling, this poetical Indian song sounds better:
    “A bush is sitting under a tree and singing”.

  2441. ZaPaTa says:

    I like it if you would add a link on the recruitment page to the Clan Rules page. Think that is needed when you speek of ‘agree with the clan rules’. Just drop the link after that piece and I’ll agree with all changes made. Thx Matey!

  2442. ZaPaTa says:

    Voting is a massive destructive power, or at least, it can be.
    I hope it will be harder to drop future LAME’ers and harder to decide.
    I hope none of us will feel have to feel that power in the future, but for now, this decision was needed, I mentioned it a couple of times before too, and I’m still convinced it was the right decision. Thanks for backing me up here, all, but as I said, I hope this was the only time we had to do this ugly job.
    Last thing, Sorry to REMS for dropping you but we couldn’t try any harder to help or warn you. Sorry.

    Other thing. Indian wisdom often shows some similarities with eastern meditation (here we go :D). In Buddhism time and events are seen as equal things. So no matter what you doing, every time or action is of an equal importance as any other. So every time can be the best time of your life, or is as good to die or lose as another. This is a good time too. Cheers!

  2443. SAPE says:

    Biondo, you met Hannibal yesterday. He is nice player, and correct fighter I think. You asked why his ping is zero. I don’t know, maybe timenudge, because he played on Paladin server before he come to play on the BB. The Paladin is an amrican server, isn’t it?

  2444. Wiskey says:

    Current recruiting page is now better than former. If somebody want to join he see immediately what we respect and can think if he is suitable.

  2445. JesseJames says:

    @everyone the mail is sended to Rems

  2446. Biondo says:

    Thanks to all who commented here. I’m a little bit amazed that all of you agreed to my proposal. This probably means that we are starting to think in the same way… this means that we are a clan 🙂

  2447. JippiJaYeah says:

    Great Biondo, your formulation make it clear want we want.

  2448. Mope says:

    Yep, I think also it’s good to leave the page with our clan terms, just the way you’ve pointed them up, Biondo. Much more organized and clear this way.

  2449. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Biondo

  2450. JesseJames says:

    Ok I’am thinking how I can formulate the mail to Rems, so I don’t hurt him very much. Anyone an idea? So I can write a “friendly” mail to him.

    • Biondo says:

      I think he already knows the reasons why he had been expelled.
      You can only repeat them to him. You have just say the truth, without anger.

      And say also that ALL members agreed with the fact that his behaviour hadn’t changed enough in these last weeks to make us change our mind about his permanence in clan.

      Overall, his behaviour hadn’t been so bad — this must be clear — but he never really joined the clan, nor here in blog, nor in game, nor in weekly deatmatch.
      Friends as always, but separated…

  2451. SAPE says:

    Great.

  2452. Biondo says:

    Thanks 🙂

    OK, done.

  2453. GREYMAN says:

    Perfectly formulated Biondo, clear and precise.
    I understand too with my poor English. 🙂

  2454. GREYMAN says:

    I agree with you Jippi! 🙂

  2455. JesseJames says:

    Yes that is a good idea. Indeed our recruitment page is not optimal. But if we have a few rules, it’s easier to recruit the right people.
    For me it’s OK to write it on that way on our page.

  2456. JesseJames says:

    Indeed a nice sentence to wake up. The native american’s have a lot of wisdom in their language.

  2457. JesseJames says:

    For me personal it’s better that the page recruitment stays. Because if they will write a comment in a topic that is not something with recruitment is a bit strange, no? Maybe they think that we are not recruiting and don’t leave a message.

    • Biondo says:

      OK, Jesse. But we should probably change the informations in that page. Something like:

      “At the moment we aren’t recruiting, but:

      – if you are registered BallerBude player since at least 1-2 month
      – if you always respected BallerBude rules (“No racism of any kind”, “No profanity or offensive language/names”, “Be a sport”)
      – if you aren’t already a member of another clan
      – if you play mainly in BallerBude server
      – if you agree to take part in the weekly *LAME* clan deathmatch (mostly played in Terra Nova server — requires that you play with SG 1.1b4)
      – if you think you can contribute, with posts and comments, to this blog
      – if you feel you can share *LAME* clan’s spirit

      post here a request to join the clan. Your request will be taken in serious consideration”

  2458. JippiJaYeah says:

    Hmm…, i say to myself, this is a good day to live, and tommorow we can die. And when i say it every day…. 😉

  2459. SAPE says:

    Biondo, this is a good approach. You know that I also have problems. Thank you.

  2460. SAPE says:

    Correct and clear. I agree Biondo.

  2461. GREYMAN says:

    I played with him a few times even Paladdin. A very good player, I had no problem with it. I think no insult. He was freindly. Few were able to catch him.
    That’s all I can say about it. 🙂

  2462. Biondo says:

    Sape, I wrote that Hannibal (Czech R.) had 1 warning, but not to say that this is bad. The opposite, it’s good he has only 1 warning.

    Actually I have accumulated around 30 warnings in 1 and half year in Baller 😀
    Ok, when you look at any single warning you can see that they were tests made as administrator, or BigBrotherBot “mistakes”.
    Only a couple of them were real insults (it happens… hehe).

  2463. SAPE says:

    It is almost Mission Impossible. 🙂
    Jippi, your playing this evening is N1. You kick my ass absolutely. GG Jippi. 🙂

  2464. JippiJaYeah says:

    It might very well be possible that Bindo finds a player without penalty in the BB echolon. 😉

  2465. JippiJaYeah says:

    I played with Hannibal and his ping was Zero (0).
    The only information that i got from him.

  2466. JesseJames says:

    Wow also 10 warnings,…

  2467. Wiskey says:

    I also can suggest Hannibal. I am played with him few times, and he is friendly player.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Wiskey, our clan together is deciding who is coming.

    • JesseJames says:

      Indeed we decides in group who is coming. With a voting, and if everyone vote YES we take a new member.
      But for me it’s OK that we open the recruitment page for two nice players.
      I don’t have an eye on someone on this moment.

  2468. SAPE says:

    I like to suggest a player if you interested in it. He has never occurred the clan. He is my old friend, we played on Paladin server, and I suggested him to come and play on he Baller. His user name is Hannibal. I think you know him.
    Update: He is an older player if I remember correctly. (30 or 35 maybe.)
    I think the recruiting doesn’t be required. We have eight member. We had eight member virtually, Rems didn’t participate in the life of the clan.

    • Biondo says:

      Echelon’s infos:

      Hannibal from Germany (alias -=BB=-a.k47) is a good player with a lot of warnings and muted several times. And also a member of a clan used to cheating.

      Hannibal from Czech Republic… I don’t know him, he played only few times in Baller (123) and has only 1 warning.

      • SAPE says:

        Hannibal from Czech Republic who I suggest. I played a lot with him on Paladin. He has a warning…..hm, I didn’t know it. I didn’t know him enough good to make surety for him. He is a new player on BB. it possible to invite him in the future, but we haven’t got enough information about him.

  2469. JippiJaYeah says:

    Done!

    I think we open the recruitment to get ten players.

  2470. Wiskey says:

    Do we open recruitment again to replace Rems or is in our clan only 8 members in future?

  2471. JesseJames says:

    OK I will send him a mail, with the information.

  2472. Biondo says:

    OK. At the moment 5 on 8(9) members voted for Rems expulsion.
    We cab declare Rems officially out of the clan.

    I think that Jesse (that had always been Rems’ interlocutor) should send him an e-mail to inform him of his new life.

    I remove his name from “Members” page.

  2473. SAPE says:

    We will speak it after the vote is finish.

  2474. ZaPaTa says:

    You know my point of view too already. But question is if we agree, how to make it real?

  2475. Wiskey says:

    I am played with Rems few times and I have only good things from him. But if it is true what Sape told, then I think that I am not played enough with him.

  2476. Wiskey says:

    Done

  2477. Biondo says:

    Just for your info, .–PiStoLeRo0–. , who asked to join the clan, has about 10 warnings and had been muted 5 times (though not because of terrible insults).

  2478. Biondo says:

    Just for those that don’t know, the vote is not secret in WordPress polls because we all have administrative privileges.
    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp-polls/polls-manager.php&mode=logs&id=11

    I also add that I think in this case 50% +1 of votes for “Yes” or “No” decide the result.

  2479. JesseJames says:

    I voted also

  2480. SAPE says:

    You know my standpoint.

  2481. Biondo says:

    I opened a poll about Rems in homepage. Please vote.

  2482. Biondo says:

    I think Rems should be expelled from the clan. We gave him a second (if not third, fourth, …) opportunity and he burned it.

  2483. JesseJames says:

    @SAPE indeed I played with him a few days ago (with you?) and than he irritates me also. He never write on our site, he never played with us on the DM on Thursday. So indeed I think we talk about him now. So everyone say what you think about him and what is the solution that we can find on this problem?

  2484. SAPE says:

    Ok, you said you don’t believe in players changing attitudes… Rems? What’s about him?
    Ok. Some clear discusson from SAPE.
    I don’t like him, because he don’t respect me. He think he the best player, and if you shot him or win a DM, you are a cheater or you just have luck. He irritate me.
    And if I see the antecedents (we warn him about his attitudes and we offer helping about the SG updateing, but he don’t intrested in it), I can say he don’t respect the Clan too.
    I know I offense a little bit. I initiate the discusson about Rems again. So if we have some decission in the future, I will talk him about it, if you agree.

  2485. Mope says:

    I use Trillian

  2486. SAPE says:

    I use GAIM.

  2487. Eskizofrenia says:

    wow , nice 2 games , seems was a hard game! hehe, congratz yippi , i think i never win you a game when you play the same minutes than me XD, and GG for all of you hehe.

  2488. SAPE says:

    Anyway, Jesse, are you made an answer about that?

    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/contact/#comment-1133

  2489. SAPE says:

    Eski is nerve-racking, but he make more comment than Rems. It is Fact. 🙂

  2490. Eskizofrenia says:

    ok its done!! i do it!! need a medal XDDD, was a problem with keyboard leanguaje, it changes when i open a game , but now its ok , thanks all for your help! u can delete conversation XD.

    Thanks!

  2491. JippiJaYeah says:

    Better you edit the q3config. file.

  2492. Eskizofrenia says:

    ye i got it fist time , mi problem is i cant do this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^on game XD

  2493. Eskizofrenia says:

    i cant do ^ this on smoking guns :C can u help me? maybe some specific comand to do or something

    • Biondo says:

      OMG, open SG settings … go to “Player”… enter a caret (^) followed by a number (for pink colour, the number is 6) … type “Eskizofrenia ” … DONE!

      Example: open SG settings … go to “Player”… delete your name … write exactly: “^6Eskizofrenia” but without quotes.

      For white colour the code to enter is “^7”.

      Hope you got it.

  2494. Eskizofrenia says:

    thanks! im sorry for didnt look first on FAQ XD, ill try to change then i come to say its done and u can delete.

  2495. JesseJames says:

    you can find it under: commands en config and then FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions. Their is a question how can I change my name in a coloured name.

  2496. Eskizofrenia says:

    answer no , i mean question* lol

  2497. Eskizofrenia says:

    Hello, (when you read the message you can delete i have a question)

    I want to make mi name with pink colour and white , i dont know where i have to answer that, XD but i know u can delete message so, if u can help me then delete will be great!

    Thanks!

  2498. hehe, that was nice although i had some issues with lags and my fps (alamo is one of the worst maps in this case). anyway, i hope that i could connect again next week if you don’t mind 🙂

    btw, it’s lovely to see how your little community grew together. i appreciate and enjoy both your contributions to the blog and the witty dialogues between y’all.

    have a nice day,
    best regards,

    Magician

    • Biondo says:

      Thank to you for playing and for appreciation, Dike!
      Yesterday I didn’t realize that you were Magician.

  2499. JesseJames says:

    What a nice was this, first map my pc was lagging and so I had a bad score, second map I was ready to took revenge, but I missed one time Biondo and so I lost the game. 🙂 Everyone was running and shooting, it was harder than in WW II 🙂 Very nice Jippi!
    Grey, Wiskey also nice. SAPE was very good in the first game. 🙂 In 20 minutes we played 2 matches, nice average :). My heart was pounding 🙂
    TNX all !

  2500. GREYMAN says:

    I agree Zap.

  2501. GREYMAN says:

    It was fun and very good! GG all!
    Thanks Biondo.
    Pretty good little gun is the sawed-off shotgun! 🙂

  2502. SAPE says:

    GG all. Nice matches.

  2503. Wiskey says:

    For me negative timenudge is useless thing. My ping is still 120-130 and my aiming is bad as always.

  2504. Wiskey says:

    I am suprised that I won Jesse in first match, but I don’t understand why my score is so bad in another match. Hard match. Thanks Biondo

  2505. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice to see some Ping’s too. Both Mope and Wiskey played with a pretty high ping.
    Was a fun game, both of them. We’re all been running around like chicken indeed JYY. Hilarious, I often could aim because I was laughing 😀
    Congrats again Jippie.

  2506. JippiJaYeah says:

    Great to see that all running like chicken around. 😉

  2507. Biondo says:

    Alamo and Tijuana. Here are the scores:

    As always, Jippi is a the big winner! Nice Jippi.
    Sape had a good performance in the first map, and Biondo in the second.
    Greyman and Zapa are growing old, they play much better nowadays. Jesse had good chances to win in the second match. Mope wasn’t in his best day, but not bad at all in the 1st match.
    Wiskey, you played the first match very well… congratulations!

    Probably some lag in the server and a bad ping penalized Mope and Wiskey more than others.

  2508. JippiJaYeah says:

    21:00 o’clock, right?

  2509. JesseJames says:

    yep i’am also agree

  2510. JesseJames says:

    Jesse James is ready, to win (or to die) 🙂

  2511. @spi says:

    sry, cant join tonight … have fun guys, and dont forget mext wednesday, 11/09 a good friends birthday 🙂

  2512. JippiJaYeah says:

    Jippi is ready!

  2513. JippiJaYeah says:

    You are right, Zap!

  2514. SAPE says:

    Agree Zap.

  2515. SAPE says:

    The Beast is ready! 🙂

  2516. ZaPaTa says:

    I don’t believe in players changing attitudes. Once insulting people, always insulting i think. Sorry but I don’t think we have to risk anything because we just would like a 10th LAME’er…We should keep up our reputation and only recruit when we are a fully 100% sure (if that possible these days offcourse. Make it a 90%).

  2517. Biondo says:

    To close all this story about Eskizofrenia, I trashed all comments in the page “Recruitment”.

  2518. JesseJames says:

    Of course everyone must be agree with the new recruit, like we did with Wiskey.
    But I also think if their is a good player/ and he has not a bad behaviour we can do a recruitment, but for 90% of the SGplayers is the recruitment closed.

    @SAPE ZaPaTa and I played urban terror and their it was also with automatic guns and a lot of players. It is totally different than SG.

    @Biondo can you not see what are the previous names of Eskizofrenia?

  2519. SAPE says:

    Anyway, I think he make a slip in speaking. The SG is a special FPS game. I played a lot MOHAA and Battlefield series (Wolfeinstein too), but when a started it, I was a very LAME player. 🙂
    In the other FPS game you can use automatic weapons, it is absolutly different tactic and moving…. And I see he has good map knowledge… I think he played SG under a different name before. Biondo, you all right.

  2520. SAPE says:

    Yes, he is offensive. I read the conversation on the “Recruitment” topic, and I see that he recognize his fault…. I think we keep an eye on him. We could give him one more chance may be if he change his bad habbits….
    And a nother bad news: I played with Rems some day ago. He insulted Ugly again despite of we warned him….. 🙁

  2521. JippiJaYeah says:

    The only good thing is, he is honest to us.
    And its a must, that he don’t insult other players anymore.

  2522. JesseJames says:

    I played now 3 times with him and he was always friendly against me and won of me :). And he asked if he could join our clan. I said write a mail on our site, and we will see, like I always say to new people. He said to me he played a few years wolf(and I forgot the rest of the game 🙂 ) on a very high level.
    He could a nice player for our clan, I thought.
    But if he really insults players, and … It’s bad for our clanname. Sorry for this trouble, I was too enthusiast about this player.

    Good Work Biondo, to visit his insultpage :)!

    • Biondo says:

      Probably “wolfenstein enemy territory”, Jesse.

      Thanks for your appreciation.

      I think that we can accept a 10th player, but we have to choose it among the more respected players around (not necessarily a very good one) and all members have to vote for him.

      What do you think?

  2523. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    I played with him a few times but I do not know the guy.
    All I know is that smart player.
    This “statistic” speak itself.
    Thank you for your concistency Biondo. 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, he is a good player. And it’s strange that it appeared from nothing just 1 week ago, sure he played SG under a different name before.

  2524. JesseJames says:

    Ah ok I knew that their was a topic about demo’s but don’t know where it stands :). Ok I will ask Zapa to open the demo’s if it don’t work. 🙂 Tnx Biondo

  2525. Biondo says:

    I have to add: with some versions of SG I had to change the name of file to all UPPERCASE letters (only the name, not the extension). With some other versions I had to change the names to lowercase! Otherwise I couldn’t watch them! Strange as is it, but true.

  2526. JesseJames says:

    How can I open the video? I will watch the different demo’s on the site but I can’t watch them.

    • Biondo says:

      Jesse, follow instructions at the end of this page: http://bb.game-host.org/demos/

      put the file in your game’s demo directory (you may have to create this directory). The location depends on the operating system you are using:

      Windows: either %APPDATA%\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\demos\ (use “Run” and copy it in) or C:\Program Files\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\demos\ (installation directory)
      Under Windows XP the former expands to \Documents and settings\username\Application data\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\demos\
      under Windows Vista or Windows 7, the former expands to \Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\demos\)

      Finally start Smokin’ Guns, open the console and type \demo FILENAME where FILENAME is the name of the downloaded demo you want to review. Alternatively, you can choose Demos from the main game menu to get graphical listing of all available files.

      If you still have problems, let me know (or ask to Zapa… he started this thread, so he knows 😉 )

  2527. SAPE says:

    I made an epic win against Ugly. The circumstances are perfect: my favorite map (Fort), not too much player and I have an “assistant”, Wiskey.
    Wiskey, thanx the game, I can’t win it without you.
    Here is the demo:

    http://bb.game-host.org/demos/1f8217a0_dm_fort_0107.dm_68

    I preserved my cold-blood, I just changed my name at the last moments, because I wanted to say to Ugly: “I am the Beast” 🙂

    It is a god day! 🙂

    • JesseJames says:

      ah very nice SAPE, and what said Ugly to you?
      It’s always cool to win of the Ugly 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      “I’ll f…k you!”
      Nice Sape, nice Wiskey… The Good, The Beast and The Ugly.
      I feel that lately Ugly has lost his enthusiasm … what a pity 🙂
      Also his dyna’s strategy works only when the server is crowded, not with a half empty server.

      I watched half of the demo, and around time 6:55, I’ve seen a possible mistake:

      Sape has a Colt and a Remington used in akimbo mode, he sees another Colt that lies abandoned on the ground. To gather the new Colt, he switches from akimbo pistols to Remington only, then he let the Remington fall and collects the Colt.
      Sape, it’s not necessary to switch from akimbo mode to Remington-only. When you are in akimbo mode, if you drop one pistol, it’s always the cheaper one that drops (and you still hold the Colt). Or am I wrong?

      • SAPE says:

        You all right Biondo. I choose the more difficult way. Thanx the advice.
        Anyway, he has a new crap. After I shot him many time, he said: “easy with colt.” I suggested him to use colt. He tried it…. well, it isn’t work 😉

      • JesseJames says:

        Haha nice new phrase ugly ;). I see it for me, Ugly that uses guns is like the sun in the night 🙂
        Good job SAPE 🙂

  2528. Mope says:

    Oh, Zap, you really flatter me with your interest in my humble personality. It would be a pleasure to give you an interview when you’ll have a time.

    • ZaPaTa says:

      I’ll mail you somewhere this or next week with a sketch of questions and we will link up later on jabber to talk in real. Fine for you?

  2529. ZaPaTa says:

    Owkay, I start with it and I hope someone else will follow with his version. I’ll have to think about who I would like to start with…This week will be a bit strange for me (work, holiday, moving out…lots of things going on) So i will make it work in the weekend. In the meantime, I’ll ask a bit patience 🙂

  2530. ZaPaTa says:

    I’ll bump this one again. I’ve got some problems with my Jabber Client,
    what do you all use? Any advice? I’ll need it when I wan’t to start an interview 😉

  2531. SAPE says:

    Zap. I suggest to start it. Send a mail to somebody.

  2532. JesseJames says:

    Harbor is indeed a bit tricky, not the best map ever. A bit a map for campers, but it’s OK for me.

  2533. SAPE says:

    It wasn’t my day. Deadwood is better for me.
    I didn’t feel comfortable the Harbor. It is a tricky map, this was the second time I play on it. It is big map with lots roof. It isn’t a shotgunner map.
    I have a request: next Thursday we would play these two map? I practice…. 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      🙂 Shotgun makes a beast of you, but it’s not for all occasions! I’m an expert on this.
      We can change map, callvote since now!

      • SAPE says:

        Yep. I go mad+sawed-off shotgun = The Beast
        But beware, simetimes the Beast use akimbo pistols too 😉

  2534. JesseJames says:

    It was a very good game for me personnel .:) JJY was indeed outstanding (like always). It was a pity that ZaPaTa/GREY could not play today. We missed you 🙂

    Indeed tnx to Donut, @Spi, MsH,

  2535. Biondo says:

    Here are the screenshots:

     

    New maps: Deadwood and Harbor. Nice game, and also crowded! Jippi was outstanding with his knives… no chance against him.

    But the best thing was that we had mappers and server admins joining the game: MsH (Deadwood), Donut (Harbor) and @spi (BallerBude). We have to thank them all once more for all the time they spend to give us this big/little fun.

  2536. ZaPaTa says:

    Nope, sorry, can’t make it. I was planning to play on a buggy PC that is running Linux, but we disabled the driver for the graphic card lately because it seems that it was’nt compatibly anymore with our former Windows. So now we try linux but without graphic driver.
    It’s seems that SG is laggy in this environment, almost impossible to run (I know Biondo is playing in Linux but I’m just a newbie without a graphic driver.). Too bad, I was longing the whole day for playing with you guys tonight! tough.

    Cheers

  2537. @spi says:

    rofl, the good the bed the ugly …..

  2538. SAPE says:

    Grey phoned. He still work. He can’t join tonight.

  2539. ZaPaTa says:

    New scoretable, great.
    I will try to enter too, but I’ll play tonight in a Linux enviroment, so i will have to set up all things proper. Not sure if i will manage that so i might be pretty bad tonight.

    GL all

  2540. JesseJames says:

    21:00 is also OK for me! New scoretable, wish you all the best! Let’s play like a beast 😉

  2541. JippiJaYeah says:

    21:00 ok

  2542. SAPE says:

    Yep, in Hungary change the time similar. Anyway, what time we meet today? 21:00?

  2543. JippiJaYeah says:

    We have in europe the same Daylight Saving Time.

  2544. Wiskey says:

    I will be there. Next time I play in same time as others players.

    • Biondo says:

      During the week-end, also in Italy there will be the change to “solar time”. This means that next Thursday when in Finland it will be 21:00 in Italy it will be 20:00 (hmm… too early for me). Will the time also change in Germany, Belgium, Israel, Hungary?

  2545. SAPE says:

    Nice maps, I agree. I will be there.

  2546. ZaPaTa says:

    I’ll change client soon. What do you use? I know have something called AQQ, but it comes in a strange language and isn’t really helpful in solving the prob (the unreachable thing :D).

    Cheers

  2547. ZaPaTa says:

    Owkay, quick example.
    I would like to interview Mope. Why? Not particular because he plays SG, we all do so that interview wouldn’t really make sense, but because he’s a designer in Israel. I have lots of questions about Israel, and I think it’s nice to know, for us all, to learn about more about life there. I believe he’s emigrated there so he might have a nice storie about it. Since I love stories, it would be a nice theme i think.
    You see?
    Another example. Is there a link between SAPE and the Devil, aka 666 aka The Beast 😀

    you catch my drift a bit?
    By preparing your questions in a mail you have time for reacting, but after reading that first sketch i think it would be nice to join in our Jabber-room, because you can interfere in answers and adding additional questions. Hope this don’t start to sound too boring 😀

  2548. SAPE says:

    I can talk with Mope yesterday evening. It works correctly.

  2549. Mope says:

    Sape, please confirm my authorisation.
    Mope [at] jabber [dot] org

  2550. JesseJames says:

    Nice I will add you the next time. Finally a new person on jabber 🙂

  2551. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I made a Jabber account. I try it now. Everybody are offline. I wish it works correctly.
    sape [at] jabber [dot] org

  2552. JesseJames says:

    HI all, I know Nautica good, he is also from Belgium and time to time we talk a bit in BB. I asked him how he can so play well. He said to me that he played with very high brightness and picmic, a good mouse but for the rest it’s pure talent and reflexes. And I trust him.

  2553. JesseJames says:

    Ah,very nice plan ZaPata. What will I know of you,… 😉 I think it’s good to know a few basic things but not very details or very personnel things (like which colour of underwear you dress in the weekend or something 😀 )

  2554. Biondo says:

    /bind f4 name ^1*^4LAME^1*^6BEAST
    type it in console. Of course, instead of F4, you can bind whatever key you like. 🙂

  2555. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I need some help. I don’t know how can I change name in-game. What is the bind of it ?

  2556. GREYMAN says:

    An intersting idea Zap. I really like it. 🙂
    I am sure, but discuss the details.

  2557. SAPE says:

    I interest in it. Just one thing, the implementing isn’t totally clear. Zap, please explain it a little more: for example I like to make an interview you, I send a mail with questions and you answer the questions and send back to me. After it I make a post?

  2558. Biondo says:

    Hmm… I don’t know who wins: my desire for privacy or my desire to communicate? It probably depends on the alcoholic level in my blood 🙂

  2559. SAPE says:

    I try it, if you help me a littlebit Biondo. I start to find the best moments. This is the first step. Biondo, could you suggest a software? I remember your great video.

    • Biondo says:

      Sape, I used Cinelerra (a free software that works in Linux) but it is sooo difficult to use that if had to teach you I’d have to spend 10 more time than making the video by myself 😀

      No, you live in a Windows world, where probably you can find a wider choice of simple video-editing software. I suggest you to ask to Mope (I think he is an expert in video production).

  2560. SAPE says:

    Very nice demo. It was a fun game.
    Anyway, I have an Idea: Could we make a promotion video. It would based on our demos. A best of LAMEs, maybe. 🙂
    I can’t make a video. But I can watch the demo. and select the best moments of all lames. What is your opinion?
    I see a good video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jlr3-x0_Dw

    • Biondo says:

      The idea is good, though I feel that there are still so many SG videos around, that it would be difficult to create something new and not boring.

      Talking about me, I have to say that making a good video is time consuming, and I don’t have so much time in this period.
      Of course, if someone else would like to produce such a video, he is welcome, just he should avoid scenes from low-g server, because of the many well known problems it has and because it’s quite rarely online.

  2561. SAPE says:

    About Nautica.
    We know him, and id you see the BB stat, can you see, his results are autstanding. We know his style, his is a camper. I think it is OK. This is a playing style.
    Rems wrote in his mail that Nautica is a cheater. I don’t think so. But after I read it, I found some Nautica demo, and I watched it again and again.
    I find these:
    – His accuracy is very good in long distance.
    – His accuracy is bad in short distance.
    – Hi notice players that I can’t see. I just see them, if I watch again and again the demo.
    Soon I paste some demo link about him (the link, and the time of the relevant moments). I don’t think so he cheating. We know the anti-cheating system of the BB. Maybe he use special graphic settings.

    • Biondo says:

      I suspected Nautica was a cheater long time ago (before BB had anti-cheat system). I spent hours watching his demos and never found anything against him.

      That said… his style is simple: camp and use pistols. The same style of Muffin. Moreover he doesn’t play all day, but just in rare occasions and for a short time, this way his concentration is at its best. Also he has a “real” good ping.

      He probably has a VERY good monitor, and he possibly uses special graphic settings (something like Xtreme graphics ones, but better — see http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/extreme-tweaking-of-graphics/). Watching demos, I often had the perception that the best players can see much more details than those I can; it’s sure they use a good monitor and deeply fine-tuned graphic settings.

      That’s all I can say.

  2562. Biondo says:

    Hehe, nice house cleaning, Sape! 😀
    Yes, Biondo’s old style, with a difference: I always shoot both barrels with Sawed-Off.

  2563. Biondo says:

    Well, this is the demo: low-g.dm_68 (Right click and –> “Save file as …”).

    Of course I had a great advantage: ping. Fun game, sorry that not all Lames could join 🙁

    ——————————-

    TO PLAY THE DEMO:

    put the file in your game’s demo directory. The location depends on the operating system you are using:

    Linux: the file should go into ~/.smokinguns/smokinguns/demos/
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/SmokinGuns/smokinguns/demos/
    Windows: either %APPDATA%\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\demos\ (use “Run” and copy it in) or C:\Program Files\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\demos\ (installation directory)
    Under Windows XP the former expands to \Documents and settings\username\Application data\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\demos\
    under Windows Vista or Windows 7, the former expands to \Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\demos\)

    WARNING: If you are using Smokin’Guns v1.0 on Linux, ensure the filename is all lower-case or the client may not be able to open the file!
    Finally start Smokin’ Guns, open the console and type \demo FILENAME where FILENAME is the name of the downloaded demo you want to review. Alternatively, you can choose Demos from the main game menu to get graphical listing of all available files.

    [Thanks Doc for clear explanations: http://bb.game-host.org/demos/ ]

  2564. JesseJames says:

    Sape you was outstanding this evening 30-19,pfff. 🙂

  2565. SAPE says:

    Maybe I late, but I will be there at least 21:15.

  2566. SAPE says:

    Beware the Beast! 🙂
    Sometimes I go mad, my adrenalin shoot up, and I play very different style like my average style.

    This is the Beast:

    http://bb.game-host.org/demos/1f8217a0_dm_tillian_0023.dm_68

    • Biondo says:

      Haven’t seen the demo yet, but this is probably what I called a “Big Wave”, Beast.

  2567. JesseJames says:

    Yes yes he is dancing with his girlfriend :). But he is not a pro 😉

    • ZaPaTa says:

      Couldn’t make it,
      sorry guys. Next time. But i’ll watch the movie for sure :D.
      Yes, recently took some dance lessons to please my girlfriend, somehow i think that was a Lame idea 🙂 (especially when I can’t test the low G server for once :D)

      • Biondo says:

        Zapata, tell your girlfriend that you’ll make practice in Tijuana. There’s a nice gramophone there, airing danceable music! 😛

        • ZaPaTa says:

          Line dancing isn’t really her thing 😀
          But true, I loooove that song on the vinyl 🙂

  2568. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I want to share a movie trailer with you.
    Purgatory.
    I think it a good movie, a western-fantasy.
    There is a Sheriff in the film, an older man with grey hair… I think if Biondo lived in the age of the Wild West, he would be a very similar character. 🙂

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8lCp8BSJh4&feature=related

  2569. JesseJames says:

    Ok have fun, I will try it again, and ZaPaTa will try it at 21:30 after his dance lessons. 🙂 Cross your fingers!

  2570. GREYMAN says:

    Ok 21:00! I will be there.

  2571. SAPE says:

    I will be there cowboys. Biondo, will you record it?

  2572. Mope says:

    No problem, your lab rat will be ready at 21:00 for your evil experiments.

  2573. Mope says:

    Challenge accepted. Prepare your coffins.

    • Biondo says:

      Mope, can you join Jabber 10 minutes before (say around 21:00), I have to test a different way of starting the server and I’d like to have realtime feedback. Ty.

  2574. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    About the demo. We would make a good, fun demo. We would match a time, when play all together, who can connect. Biondo, Mope, Grey and I. What is your opinion?

  2575. JesseJames says:

    No problem BIondo, take your time for it. It’s better that 5 players can play than nobody.

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you Jesse. I’m working on it, but I have no idea about how to solve the problem 🙁

  2576. JesseJames says:

    Indeed can’t connect @11: 20. It’ s pity, I would try it. It looks so nice. Maybe anyone can post here screenshots, so I can see how it is to play with low gravity?

    • Biondo says:

      Sorry Jesse, I am working on it, but cannot guarantee anything.
      When I’ll have time, I’ll post a demo.

  2577. JesseJames says:

    Greyman, the page of Jesse James will be very nice I think 🙂

  2578. Biondo says:

    Total fail. I can’t find a way to change settings so that all clan members can connect to low-g “server”. Whenever Sape, Greyman, Mope (the only ones who were able to connect) want to play in low-g, you can ask and I’ll put it online for you. 🙁

  2579. GREYMAN says:

    I think too Jesse!
    He is always overlooked was the shadow of Wyatt Earp. It is hard to find information about Holliday.
    I think Doc was the fastest, but it’s an subjective opinion.
    The following will be Jesse James!
    Thanks all visitors!

  2580. JesseJames says:

    Indeed interesting man, never heard it. Very nice.

  2581. JippiJaYeah says:

    19:10: Doesn’t work for me – can’t connect!

  2582. Biondo says:

    It’s possible that the connection problems that some of you experienced were caused by a wrong configuration of my router (thanks, TheDoctor).
    Those who weren’t able to connect, can now try again. Let me know.

  2583. Biondo says:

    I’ll never look at my dentist in the same way 🙂
    Interesting story, Grey.

  2584. GREYMAN says:

    Thanks, and for your help too 🙂

  2585. SAPE says:

    Nice page Grey. Congratulation.

  2586. Biondo says:

    By popular demand, also today low-g server will be up and running (for those who are able to connect) at the same address. I changed map rotation: tijuana, station, harbor, lake, lago, ghosttown, deadwood, fort, nonamecity, hangemhigh, newtown, alamo_tiny, outpost, steamboat, train.
    Hope everything works.

  2587. SAPE says:

    Thanx Biondo.These games were a nice and fun experience. You are the best. Good Night.

  2588. Biondo says:

    This server was just an experiment, something just for fun. Never thought of putting online a new server, 24 hours/7 days, also because my connection is a “home connection”. But now I’m curious to know where the problem originates from. I’ll investigate, maybe I’ll ask to Doc. Sorry for all who tried to connect without success, and thanks to all.

  2589. SAPE says:

    We can play with Grey. It works.

  2590. JesseJames says:

    I tested again, and again waited 30 seconds before closing the game. It’s very frustrating that it doesn’t work on my pc.

  2591. JippiJaYeah says:

    Do you tried it now?

  2592. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    We (Grey and I) tested it, It work great. We use “\connect everything.no-ip.org”.

  2593. JippiJaYeah says:

    17:03: I tried “\connect everything.no-ip.org”, but can’t connected.

  2594. SAPE says:

    I played a match against bots, The server work correctly. Everything is ok Biondo. I use “\connect everything.no-ip.org”

  2595. SAPE says:

    Biondo, I will visit Grey on 17:00. I try to help him about the connection.

    • Biondo says:

      OK, thank you, Sape.
      Also Mope had some problems, because he started downloading some SG .pk3 that he doesn’t have in his installation. I’ll try to remove unnecessary packets.

  2596. Biondo says:

    Sorry, I can’t explain this strange thing that some are able to connect and some others not. I’ll investigate.

  2597. ZaPaTa says:

    I tried it when I was in BB. I get a screen connecting and than I waited 40 seconds but I couldn’t connect.
    Then I tried it one more time and when I typed it in the console he closed ballerbude and I get the mainmenu. Very strange.
    oops it’s Jesse here with ZaPaTa’s account 🙂

  2598. Wiskey says:

    I get new list and I can’t see your server in list. I do it many times without success. I also tried to open console and type \connect everything.no-ip.org but it only count numbers and nothing happend.

  2599. Biondo says:

    I don’t really understand why some players can’t connect (Jesse for example).

    The server is up, if I update (update, not refresh!) servers list in SG I see it (at the end of the list), I see it in XQF (equivalent of Monster Browser, but for Linux), SNH connects (via Internet, not via LAN), Sape connects, Mope connects.

    Very strange!

    For the last time, here are the instructions:

    Name: “You click, you fly!
    Address: everything.no-ip.org (be careful, don’t confuse dots and hyphens).

    Open SG console and type: “\connect everything.no-ip.org” (without quotes).

    Use SG 1.1b4 (not SG 1.0).

  2600. Wiskey says:

    Biondo, can you tell when you push your server to online? That I can try connecting

  2601. Biondo says:

    Strange I see it in the list, but you have to scroll down till the end of the list.

    Use this address: everything.no-ip.org
    So in console you have to type “\connect everything.no-ip.org”.

    This address doesn’t change (of course it works only when the server is up).
    I’ll try to keep it up and running this morning, and probably part of the afternoon (also when I don’t play).

  2602. SAPE says:

    Biondo, I get a new list, but I can’t find it. Could ou give me an IP adress?

    • SAPE says:

      Thanx Biondo. It was a very very good experience and a very fun game. I thankful to you. 🙂

  2603. GREYMAN says:

    I have crashes too, but it is rarely easy to throw out the game. I use the beta only in TN. Some matches are okay.
    On the other server will crash much earlier, on others i use the 1.0.
    In my PC crashes present: throw out the game.

  2604. JesseJames says:

    Also for me a good idea! Nice Jippi, also SAPE great score for the last weeks.

  2605. SAPE says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tohUNmhqtlo&feature=related

    MOHAA multiplayer. The mood of the map is very similar I think. Outpost is work as a MOHAA map.

  2606. SAPE says:

    Ok.

  2607. SAPE says:

    Thanx the recognition.
    Outpost… It is a very nice map, and IMO it is a good map. It is a special map, like lake. When I played on it, I had a nostalgic feeling. I feel like play MOHAA. This map remind me to the game I started to play FPS game. I enjoyed it.
    Alamo… Not my favourite map, but it was a great and fun game.
    Thanx the game. GG all.
    YEHAAAAAAAAA! 🙂

  2608. Mope says:

    Score updated… and Jippi has gained 10 points!
    What makes him the leader, Biondo on the 2nd place… and our quickly rising star is SAPE (3rd place!)

    So now, I propose to start the new score. And this one will stay in our Hall of Fame. That way it will be more competitive.

  2609. Biondo says:

    Here are the screenshots:

    First map was Outpost. You know that I’m a fan of Outpost (see SG forum), it has the best graphic rendering of all SG maps, this is sure. Steve should open a school for SG mappers. But I wasn’t sure that it was fun to play … it seems that it is, it’s playable, also when you feel lost in a labirinth, you can identify some “aggregation points”.

    The second map is in absolute the best SG map (IMO): Alamo, in its second reincarnation Alamo2. Nothing better exists, a complex map that still is simple in its component parts. I know that it’s CPU consuming, I know that your ping is not at its best, but there is nothing better than Alamo.

    Nice scores for Jippi (but this is not news). Nice scores for Mope and Zapata (Zapa, you are playing much better lately). But particularly nice scores for Sape! [I told you that Sape had a great future as an SG player].

  2610. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    I just recently returned home boys. It was a very long day. Sorry, i pass this game. I’m tired.
    Come on everyone!
    /Beware from the BEAST!/
    Thanks for the message transfer SAPE. 🙂

  2611. SAPE says:

    I will be there.

  2612. Wiskey says:

    I come to clan wars. Every map is suitable.

  2613. JesseJames says:

    It’s a pity that no one couldn’t join on the server of Biondo. Also my fault. But tnx to make the server, Biondo. Was it fun with SNH?

    It’s also a pity that I can’t play today (the dj-contest). Zap is my biggest fan and will watching me this evening. So also no ZaPaTa this evening. But have fun, and let me know the score so I can calculate the new score.

  2614. Mope says:

    Count me in!

  2615. Biondo says:

    Ah yes, because today it’s Thursday.

    Same DM in TN, at 21:00. OK? And next TDM in Nargajunas.
    For me every map is OK.

  2616. SAPE says:

    Grey work in evening shift every second weeks. He works to 21:00-22:00 this week.

  2617. Wiskey says:

    Biondo, I try 22.04 in Finland’s time and I have no lucky.

    • Biondo says:

      Strange. Thank you, Wiskey.
      I’ll make some more tests with members that use Jabber, so we can communicate in real time.

  2618. Biondo says:

    In the end I got nervous for nothing (sorry):

    – Zapata, already said he wasn’t interested
    – Jesse, was wrong about the date (and also he didn’t have time)
    – Mope told me in jabber he couldn’t join
    – Sape tried and tried but with wrong IP address and maybe too early or too late
    – Wiskey tried without success (maybe a misunderstanding about Italian/Finnish times?)
    – Greyman… don’t know, maybe the baby needed his attentions 🙂
    – Jippi, well … you know, Jippi is somehow unpredictable
    – Rems, I never counted on him

    At least I was able to play with SNH 🙂

  2619. Anonymous says:

    The SG server list need at least 24 hours for refreshing, so you don’t see biondo’s server.
    jippi

    • Biondo says:

      I don’t think so, Jippi, or at least not in this case. In all my tries during these days, the server got listed after a couple of minutes.

  2620. Biondo says:

    Hi Wiskey. The server was up and running since 20:50 till 22:00 (Italian time, that means 21:50–23:00 Finnish time).
    Did you tried during that time interval?

  2621. Wiskey says:

    I tried to come server, I refresh SG server list but I didn’t see your server. Maybe I come too late.

  2622. SAPE says:

    And I mad a Jabber urgently.

  2623. Biondo says:

    😉

  2624. SAPE says:

    Take it easy my friend.
    Anyway, there was a first class fight on Special Bude. The Italian-Blood against Hungarian derring-do. 😉
    Biondo, gli amici restano amici.

  2625. SAPE says:

    Ok. I used the IP adress that You gave me… 🙁 Sorry. I had to write it here. It is my fault.
    Hence I get a new list one or twice, but I didn’t remember what time I did it. Maybe you didn’t activate the server that time a got new list.

  2626. Biondo says:

    Thank you for talking clear, Sape. I appreciate this. Of course I’m sorry to hear that you have private problems. I hope everything will be OK soon.

    I think I explained my problem in the comment I published 30 seconds ago (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/you-click-you-fly/#comment-1352).

    About activating the low-g server tonight… hmm, no. First I have to be sure that everybody can connect, next we can also try one game all together (but I’m not sure that the server can manage many players at the same time).

    To summarize: I was depressed/angry and the low-g server need more tests.

  2627. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Sape. At least you tried…
    It was a depressive experience waiting for more than an hour and seeing no Lame. I constantly checked my e-mail, this blog and Jabber to see if somebody encountered some problems connecting. But I only found a tomb silence.

    How did you try to connect?

    1) You used the numeric IP address that I gave you the day before yesterday
    2) You tried to connect to “everything.no-ip.org:27960”
    3) You used SG server browser to get a new list (not only refreshing the list!)

    My IP address is not static, it changes every single day (sometimes more than once a day), so the number I gave to you was only valid for that evening.
    Options 2 and 3 should work, if not there is still some problem in my “server”.

    Let me know.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Just ping everything.no-ip.org and you got the ip.

      • Biondo says:

        It’s not necessary to get the numeric IP. Just open console and write “\connect everything.no-ip.org” (without quotes. The port is unnecessary since I use the standard SG port). Alternatively use SG visual interface: click “Join”, then “Specify” and write “everything.no-ip.org” (without quotes. And of course without “http://…”). Also be careful to hyphens and dots, don’t confuse them.

  2628. SAPE says:

    I tried to connect roughly at 19:30, 20:00, 20:30, 21:05, and some minutes before it. I can’t.
    What was the problem?
    Biondo, I see you play now (BB stat) without *LAME* prefix….

  2629. JesseJames says:

    Was he online today? Had no time to shoot, because a dj-contest tommorow evening, so I can’t play our weekly clanfight 🙁

  2630. Biondo says:

    lost a day and lost a night 🙁

  2631. JesseJames says:

    Pff just watched my skills on the ballerbude stats, pff with the laptop I stand on the 80 place and with my pc (bad pc) I stand on the 120 place. I don’t know that I was so bad. 🙂

  2632. Wiskey says:

    Biondo, where I wrote that timenudge and maxpacket? Do I open console and write them in console?

    • Biondo says:

      You can write them in console, or you can edit your q3config.cfg (see the FAQ for finding q3config.cfg location in your PC).

  2633. Wiskey says:

    I try this server tonight.

  2634. JesseJames says:

    @Mope indeed maybe they have their inspiration from this video? 🙂

  2635. JesseJames says:

    I have also crashes with the beta but only with the laptop (pc of ZaPaTa) not with my PC. Like you said Biondo some days you haven’t crashes and another day the game crashed 3/4 times in an hour. It’s mostly when I typed something that the game crashed, I remember me Alamo Tiny, Santa Fé express,… But I don’t use the q3config.cfg (because my knowledge of the console, and settings is very basic)

    Hopefully the bug is gone in a while.

  2636. JesseJames says:

    Hehe indeed the memories of Urban Terror came back when I see this plan. It was fun for one game. But I will see what it gives in SG. Can you play with a gatling in the sky? 🙂
    I will check the server this evening if I have time.
    Great work Biondo!

  2637. Biondo says:

    For those who want to try, I’ll put the server online tonight around 21:00 and for about 1 hour. You have to reload server list in SG and search for a server with the pink name “You click, You fly!” (a tribute to the now dead “You click, You die!” server). Alternatively also connecting to “everything.no-ip.org:27960” should work. Use SG 1.1.b4.
    At the moment, maps cycle doesn’t work, so you can’t change map and you get disconnected at the end of the game.
    Expect a high ping.

  2638. SAPE says:

    Thanx Biondo. It was a nice experience. Yesterday evening I waited an important phone call. It was the reason I had to go.

  2639. Wiskey says:

    My game crashes in BB and SB when there is many players. Last Thursday, when I was playing in TN in Tijuana my game crashes all the time. It was impossible to play. Beta work badly, crashes is even more than 1.0

  2640. ZaPaTa says:

    JJ and I used to play another online shooter game for a short time. There was also a ‘jump’ server, it was fun for a while or as you say every now and then. But what i love about SG is the reality in guns, reloading, noise, etc…So I’m more a fan of a very high reality in-game. So if we would play our weekly game there, I would be nice if we could switch settings for one game or so.
    Priority to me seems to have or own server, a regular nice own spot without specials like low-gravity. Once we get there we can check for variables in-game ( i’m sure gravity is just one of them).

    • Biondo says:

      To have a *LAME* server would be cool, but until now we haven’t found a viable solution. Jippi’s server had high ping, and mine is also worst.
      Also I never thought of putting online a 24/7 server, but a server for just half an hour a week to have some “unconventional” fun.

      Jippi, in the meanwhile I solved my problem with “dedicated server”: when I wanted to join the game, I mistakenly tried to connect to the public IP address instead of the private one (or instead of using Local in game browser).

  2641. ZaPaTa says:

    I always plays the Beta now. But I have theses crashes too… Hard to tell in what map or on what server (always on BB, but I always play on BB, so is a bit hard to take that as a fact, you know). I recognize that fact it seems to happen more in a crowded server (or at least when games are real fun :s)
    Hope I can provide more clues if it will happen again. I will try to think to post it here, but is has been a while now since the last time it happened.

  2642. SAPE says:

    I had some crash, but the cause of it is my net connection. I use 1.1b4 in TN, on the other servers I use the 1.0.

  2643. SAPE says:

    Good idea. I support it. It help to improve your accuracy I think.

  2644. Mope says:

    Yeah, Sape, you’ve got the hint. That was the idea 😀

  2645. SAPE says:

    Ok. If we shoot !NuB!muffin, after it we would call him !NuB!Donut? 😉

  2646. ZaPaTa says:

    That insane Grey! never seen such a play with four hands before.

    @SAPE, nice reggae! But since I don’t understand a word, it’s music that is more suited when I don’t have anything on my mind. I like a certain critical message that keeps me reflecting.

    In Belgium we have some nice reggae too. (yet, rare to find something in Dutch):
    Brand new albym by Asham:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xth7GnHD6xQ&feature=related

    And highly acclaimed new LP by belgium group Pura Vida ls. jamaican band The Congos (Must be one of the last living big reggae groups out of the Golden Age of Jamaica)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF2XCCs4sx8

  2647. SAPE says:

    Thanx Jesse.

  2648. GREYMAN says:

    Fun! 😀

  2649. JesseJames says:

    Haah great. Muppetshow is always great fun 🙂

  2650. SAPE says:

    Great! 😀

  2651. Wiskey says:

    Funny video Mope

  2652. Biondo says:

    😀 Really fun!

  2654. ZaPaTa says:

    Missed this a bit, nice to see some folkmusic here,
    I’m attending every year a couple of folk-fesitvals, and during the year I try to keep up a bit with folkreleases.
    I like that Edda song Grey (not the little clip :D) ! But I remark a difference with the folk music I listen to, that always refers to a certain celtic heritage. (yes I know, Celts and Hungary aren’t two different things). But there is a remarkeble similarity between the music from the ‘celtic nations’ (France, Galicia, Wales, Ireland, Scotland). For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYFWyQggIa0

    What is great is that there is a link between this family and the country music in the Far West.
    To explain a little:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG9hf_vZdic
    a beautful song by Christy Moore, an Irishman, singing about the Irish nation in chigago, who moved in because they fled from the potato famine. (‘In the City of Chicago there are people dreaming of the hills of donigal’) Also his brother made a version of this song: (form a Dutch television show) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzMre3yNFaA&

    But! Irishman in US, there is a lot to tell about them, but what about Irishman in Mexico!? Ry Cooder made an album together with The Chieftains (big Irish folk band, seen them live already) about a battalion of Irishman in Mexico, album is called San Patricio. The story about them you can find here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54PDlicm_94 and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick%27s_Battalion. Beautiful story.

    Resulting in beautiful music, something in between Irish and Mexican. Excellent Western soundtrack! (highly recommending the album) .

  2655. JippiJaYeah says:

    Sorry Gringos, i was too tired, but i think you had great fun.

  2656. JesseJames says:

    Ok the scores are updated. 🙂 If their are mistakes just say it and I will correct them.

  2657. Biondo says:

    A general consideration: I always took the screenshots, but the update of this page is not my duty. Who is in charge for it? There must be only 1 member in charge for this, otherwise there is the risk of scores added more than 1 time, or scores not added.

  2658. JesseJames says:

    HMm why I can’t edit the page?

  2659. JesseJames says:

    It was a great night for me yesterday :). But everyone played on a high level. It was a pity that JippiYaYeah and ZaPaTa could’n play yesterday.
    I will look for the standings.

  2660. ZaPaTa says:

    Looked like a nice game. I was late home and just watched Jesse’s screen while eating. I went to a graphic design conference today. Tomorrow comes Matthew Carter (big typo designer, designed Georgia, Tahoma and Verdana amongst PC-fonts and some nice other fonts too) but I won’t be there. Anyway, catched some nice speakers today too 🙂
    Have fun all

  2661. Biondo says:

    Is somebody updating general scores http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/clan-deathmatch-scoring/ ?
    I never did it, and I don’t know who is doing this (Mope?).

  2662. Biondo says:

    What happened to Sape?

    • SAPE says:

      I had terrible night. I was tired, and I had continuous connection problem. My net is sometimes very unstable. (It is a wireless mobile net.)
      Sorry boys. 🙁

  2663. Biondo says:

    Here are the screenshots:

     

  2664. Biondo says:

    I have to know, which map did you play first?

  2665. Biondo says:

    No, I can’t. Also deleting all maps from my PC. 🙁
    Have fun.

  2666. Biondo says:

    I can’t connect to terranova now… I get an error (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0xa2 0xd9
    . See /home/luca/.smokinguns/smokinguns/crashlog.txt for details) … Not sure I’ll be with you tonight

  2667. Mope says:

    21:oo Central Europe? Finland 22:00.
    You can assure your time according to other players here:
    http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

    I must inform you, that Israel time moved to it’s winter session, so Jerusalem time now is the same time, as Central Europe (Rome, Berlin, etc).

  2668. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    My participation is uncertain. Maybe I will join later.

  2669. Biondo says:

    @Wiskey:

    Doc didn’t say he is always against the use of negative timenudge. He said that he is against it just for players that already have a good ping.

    If, using negative timenudge, you have a ping of 60, 70, 80, 100, 150, … (a ping over 59) you can use negative timenudge with the blessing of Doc.

  2670. Wiskey says:

    I will be there. Lake and Ghost Town. 22.00 is suitable.

  2671. Mope says:

    Original as always, Biondo!
    I’m flexible in schedule, no work this Thursday. I suggest the Port and the Lake on TN. We’re still playing 2 DM’s and 2 TDM’s?

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you, Mope!
      Harbor and Lake are OK, for me and next Nargajunas.
      At 21:00 Italian Time?

  2672. Biondo says:

    It’s so impressive to see the slow motion scenes. You clearly see that the matter of these arrows is so flexible, is so unpredictable, you can see that they irregularly move as dying lizards. And still he centers the targets. Very nice.

  2673. GREYMAN says:

    @jippi
    The arrows at the end is the nok, which is why it should be snapped to the nerve to shoot a two-step.

    An der ende des Pfeil ist das NOK, es musst man for dem schiessen an den Nerven geschnapt, deshalb macht er zwei Schritt. Entschuldige mir, aber ich kann mich besser ausdrücken in deiner muttersprache als english. 🙂

  2674. GREYMAN says:

    I write a will, order a coffin and PRAY! 😀
    I’ll be there, unless there is no intervening.

  2675. JippiJaYeah says:

    But why he makes two steps: First draw arrow and then strech the bow? Could he not drawing and streching as one step?

  2676. JesseJames says:

    WTH he can shoot faster than JippiYaYeah 🙂

  2677. JesseJames says:

    I will be there and shoot you down in the face 😉

  2678. JippiJaYeah says:

    Watch out for infiltrate spies! 😉

  2681. JippiJaYeah says:

    Today blizzard plays as |Styx|Hypnos in JeuxLinux.

  2682. JesseJames says:

    OK that are a lot of names, I don’t know that he was also a Nub! member once.
    It is lame that he used the *LAME* prefix.

  2683. Biondo says:

    If Blizzard is wR”Hypnos, he is a good player. But as you said, he changed a lot of clans and names (83!). He also used a *LAME* name:

  2684. Biondo says:

    No it’s not, but doesn’t matter Sape, I’m sure I’ll find it. Thanks for help.

  2685. SAPE says:

    I agree with you.

  2686. SAPE says:

    Somebody told me that Ugly is 13 years old. I want to test, it is true or not. I conclude that it is true, because he was unusually quiet, and played bad.

  2687. Biondo says:

    Didn’t know that Ugly is so young, and also so impolite for his age 🙁

    Generally speaking (and in particular talking about JadeRunner aka STAR), I don’t think that’s a good tactic to answer to his provocations with more provocations. This is what all these trolling players like more: to have a reason for an escalation of flames.

    If he uses racist phrases, I just tell him one time “This isn’t fun. It’s racist” and next I completely stop talking to him, no matter what he replies.

  2688. JesseJames says:

    @JippiJaYeah indeed it’s not good if they change a lot of clan.

  2689. JippiJaYeah says:

    Great, now we know what to do! 😉

  2690. JippiJaYeah says:

    Blizzard is a to much clan changer, and i don’t like that.
    It will not good for the lame clan spirit!

  2691. JesseJames says:

    Haha you touched him, great work Sape 🙂

  2692. JesseJames says:

    Indeed he talked to me in game that he wants to join the clan. I said to him that he must send me a mail, but I don’t receive anything at this moment. And every time I see him he ask me can I join the clan, etc. But if he don’t send me a mail with motivation, if he agree with our rules, we can’t let him in to the clan.
    I don’t think he is now a member of a clan. NO WR/Styx

  2693. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Blizzard said want to join the clan. Is he still a Styx clan member, or he out?
    @Jesse, did he send a mail to you, or just speaking about it?
    I think he is a divisive personality.

  2694. SAPE says:

    Hehe. Do that Jesse!

    I played with Ugly some day ago, last week I think. He has a week point too. His age. He played late, after 22:00 o’clock. He said the usual: I will f… you Sape. “I said: Big words from a 13 years old boy. Anyway, your mother know that you play this time?” He played bad after it, and some times later disconected…. 🙂

  2695. JesseJames says:

    Hehe I remember that you asked to him where he came from, and I said he was a British player.
    If he is really a camper than I don’t like his style. If I play next time with him I will let on him and shoot him down in his face 🙂
    But the times I played with him he was good but not great.

  2696. SAPE says:

    Yes, he is racist. It was the reason what I said him yesterday: “wow, there is an original British camper.” 😉
    He didn’t want to fight face to face.

  2697. JesseJames says:

    Indeed we lose :s, Bye bye European championship. Germany was too good for us 🙂 10 match-> 30 points amazing!

  2698. JesseJames says:

    Hehee did you win? 🙂 Damn why I didn’t play 😀
    I was watching our national footballteam.

  2699. SAPE says:

    We kicked his ass yesterday. And, You know, if I go mad, I play better. “The Beast effect.” 🙂

  2700. JesseJames says:

    I played a lot the last weeks with JadeRunner alias :BRI… and indeed he joked with our clan. I had never problems with that guy he is a bit talkative. And we have the same history (we played also Urban Terror). And yes I was their too when he ‘insulted’ our clan. So long he never say things that we can’t accept is their no problem.

  2701. JippiJaYeah says:

    Same to me, dont worry about him, he just do bash talks.
    Shoot him down so he will be quit. 😉

  2702. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    @Biondo: Yesterday, we played with JadeRunner. We (JR and I) had some conflict in the past. I went mad a little bit. I didn’t want to offensive. I didn’t like his style, and some days ago he disparaged me and our clan. Of corse he tried to show it something else: “I just joke. I like your clan”…. I am not stupid.
    Anyway, what do you know about JadeRunner?

    • Biondo says:

      I don’t know enough about him, apart from the fact that he likes to challenge other players with insults and a little bit of racism, just to say “I was joking” when you react.

      JadeRunner = *AmoureuX = .::.JaKe::. = :.:BRI:.: = STAR

  2703. Biondo says:

    I want to tell you this, Sape and Greyman…
    When I was 18 I had a vinyl of “The Budapest Sring Quartet” playing Beethoven’s string quartets. I loved it so much, probably the classical music I loved more in my life (after Stravinskij’s Rite of Spring). It happened that someone robbed it from the house of my parents. 🙁
    I searched for it on Internet recently, and I found it. It’s sold for $150 or more (I don’t exactly remember).

    • SAPE says:

      And did you buy it for $150? If you didn’t, I try to looking for it.

      • Biondo says:

        No I didn’t 🙂

        Well you can find many different editions of Beethoven’s quartets by the Budapest String Quartet, but I was looking for _that_ particular edition (it was Columbia Records, by I don’t remember which quartets were included).

        Now… searching again… I discovered that the cost of my previous find was so high because it wasn’t a single LP, but a collection of 5 LPs. Stupid me! I think I’ll go to music store in my town and I’ll ask.

        Thank you very much, anyhow, Sape!

  2704. JesseJames says:

    Not bad, they are little bit genius with the violin, but it’s a little bit soft.
    Are their famous bands in Hungary that we know in Belgium? I know a big festival SZIGET. Once I will go to that festival it look great.

  2705. SAPE says:

    I like to share something with you: Hungarian folk music. I wish you enjoy it.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_-n7x8EIe0&feature=related

    • Biondo says:

      This is not folk music, Sape! This is a great piece of a great virtuosism in the best tradition of Hungarians, famous all over the world for their use of strings. Applause! Very very nice.

  2706. JesseJames says:

    Indeed it’s nice if everyone have an equal ping. ZaPaTa and I have normally a ping of 50-60 that is low I think, so it’s not necessary to have a ping of 15, but for players like SAPE and GREYMAN is it good. SO I give my blessing to use it.

  2707. JesseJames says:

    @GREYMAN indeed great music of Lord of the dance. I saw their for the first time with the european Songcontest, great how they can dance!
    great coverband of typical Irish music
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0SpwEdU5ak

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K71UbC1EaSE

    this is also great music: the bagpipes with the most famous song amazing grace
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQlzITtxAMA

    This the ultimate soundtrack for the autumn. And with the autumn I like Van Morrisson
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrsq1werkfs

  2708. GREYMAN says:

    Jesse!

    We have almost a same favorites celtic/rock music, but to the last three music i am a bit old. 🙂

    Know the origins of Irish dance?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0rrLdWLu_0
    🙂

  2709. GREYMAN says:

    I vote to use it. The game is much more enjoyable and maybe more balanced against low ping fighter.

  2710. Wiskey says:

    I use Win 7 and play with 1.0 + 1.1b4. MSN is my instant message software. Others are None

  2711. JippiJaYeah says:

    I think, our clan should used it for us in TD and TDM to get a equal ping. That means for me i have to set up my TN to 30.

  2712. Biondo says:

    Wow, you registered a whole range of stats, Jippi.
    But the question is still here: should we use it or not?

  2713. JippiJaYeah says:

    Toda, some overview of my statics with a timenudge range from 50 up to -50.
    TN=50; P=75ms
    TN=40; P=75ms
    TN=30; P=75ms
    TN=20; P=58ms
    TN=10; P=50ms
    TN= 0; P=44ms
    TN=-10 P=37ms
    TN=-20 P=28ms
    TN=-30 P=17ms
    TN=-40 P=17ms
    TN=-50 P=17ms
    You can see, there is no more effect with TN > 30 and <-30.

  2714. Biondo says:

    I have to add: the words of Doc are clear, he says: “I would probably penalize it’s use [the use of negative timenudge] for pings below 60ms”. The translation is: “If I could I’d kick everyone that plays with a ping under 60 and uses negative timenudge. No matter which ping he had with Timenudge = 0″

    He is Robin Hood in this case: if you have a bad ping, use negative timenudge to have a better ping, BUT if you already have a low ping you don’t need negative timenudge and I kick you (or ban you).

    That is clear and a good move towards online justice, IMO. The only problem is that he didn’t already find a technical way to do it without banning all German players (and maybe also Belgian ones).

    • SAPE says:

      Ok. It is clear. Thanx the answer.

    • SAPE says:

      This issue can be solved I think. If the doctor isolate the ping limits from 40 till 80 forexample. In this case the players who have got higher ping can use negative TimeNudge, the low ping fighters can use positive TimeNudge, If want to play in BB server. Perhaps the game would be more ballanced. Thats it I think, but I am layman in this, I think it would be more difficult.

  2715. Biondo says:

    Sape said: Ping lower than 60 with TimeNudge, or whom ping is lower 60 without timeNudge, and use timeNudge?

    Doc said “I would probably penalize it’s use for pings below 60ms” and he tried to do so 😀 For a time, @spi — server admin — wasn’t able to play in Baller because of his ping (without negative timenudge). So I interpret Doc’s words as: “Who plays with a ping lower than 60, no matter if with negative TN or not, is auto-kicked off the server”.

  2716. Biondo says:

    😀 nice suggestions, Sape and Jesse, from a large range of different genres. Not my music (I’m travelling in time from a different age/generation), but good music anyhow.

  2717. ZaPaTa says:

    I tried it. My ping is lower than 60 but that actually pretty normal. My ping is often lower than 60. I enjoyed the games, maybe it was the timenudge. But I believe if one LAME uses it, we all have to use it. Only to make us equal to oneanother, but also to act similar so no one only can be blamed. Taking the decision as a group/clan, you see.

    • Biondo says:

      Zapata, no one has to be blamed. I was the first against negative timenudge (and maybe in future I’ll go back to a normal timenudge). But Jippi has a ping of 30-40 (do I remember well?? And he also tried to get a higher ping. Great Jippi! Very nice towards us. BTW, where are you Jippi? Why no answer to my question?), and you and Jesse had an enviable ping.
      I don’t blame Sape for having tried that. I test it, if I feel comfortable with it I’ll keep it, otherwise I’ll switch back.

      Who wants to use it… who don’t…

      This is the real WildWest, this is what I’ll never like in online games: someone has a big advantage (big monitor, good connection, close server) while others have to gain their daily bread with blood.

      Maybe I feel better paying with my blood.

  2718. SAPE says:

    Jesse, if you want to make your hardest, strongest, most crushing mix, you make a Dropkick Murphys mix 😀

    They are totally mad! I like this music!

  2719. SAPE says:

    Nice story Zap. Thanx. It is food for thought.

  2720. JesseJames says:

    I don’t play with negative TimeNudge it’s something strange and I will fight with normal settings, but if your ping is too high it’s good to play with a lower ping.But a ping of 0 is LAME.
    Tnx to interview the Doctor.

    • Biondo says:

      Jesse, with normal timenudge I have ping around 100, with negative one it’s around 60. I think it’s not too low. Also TheDoctor said he would like to penalize negative timenudge, but only for players with ping lower than 60.

      • SAPE says:

        Ping lower than 60 with TimeNudge, or whom ping is lower 60 without timeNudge, and use timeNudge?

  2721. SAPE says:

    Anyway, what’s about some “snaps” modification?

    • Biondo says:

      Sape, I tried changing snaps, but didn’t find a good setting so I switched back to default value.

  2722. JesseJames says:

    Damn I become a philosopher with this point of views, I’am also very interested in the native Americans. When I was a little child I read a lot of comics about an indian named JAKARI. Very interesting comics for children. And we played also Cowboy and Indians,… Very good years! 🙂

  2723. SAPE says:

    Grey use it too. Hiss ping doesn’t so horrific, so he use just -20 TimeNudge, and 125 maxpakets.
    I played 30-40 game with it. It isn’t placebo. It works. Your accuracy is better, because your ping is lower, but most there are less lag. You hit the target easier. (the maxpackets is help too in it.) But if you use it, you wouldn’t become harder target. This is my experience.

  2724. SAPE says:

    Biondo, I can’t write it in your new post about timenudge. Grey use it too. Hiss ping doesn’t so horrific, so he use just -20 TimeNudge, and 125 maxpakets.
    I played 30-40 game with it. It isn’t placebo. It works. Your accuracy is better, because your ping is lower, but most there are less lag. You hit the target easier. (the maxpackets is help too in it.) But if you use it, you wouldn’t become harder target. This is my experience.

    • Biondo says:

      Now it works Sape. I saved the page without a title, in the beginning. And this caused the error.
      Now you can comment in the right place.

  2725. Biondo says:

    Very nice find, Zapata. I’m also fascinated by native Americans’ view of the things.

    And I have to add that this John (Fire) Lame Deer joined our clan much before it even existed.

  2726. Wiskey says:

    I’ve also been playing in the BB with * LAME * Loco Germany, and I do not like him. He said something bad from * LAME * clan, but unfortunately I do not remember what. I do not want to cause problems so I don’t told him that he should remove the lame tag.

  2727. JesseJames says:

    Hehe it looks very strange if you play with this settings. 🙂 And if you tired of the night before, and you play with this settings your score is very low 🙂

  2728. SAPE says:

    Yep. I tried it. The maps look like a ghost town. 🙂

  2729. Biondo says:

    After having played 2 hours with settings, I have to say that I wouldn’t recommend them if you want a good score: sometimes players far away from you are almost invisible. 🙂

  2730. ZaPaTa says:

    Don’t worry Wiskey! as long as it’s fun…for, remember, it’s still a game.

  2731. SAPE says:

    Can’t we suggest some penality, like muted, or something. This is offensive.

    • Biondo says:

      If I know TheDoctor and other baller’s admin, they don’t use pemalties against this kind of behaviour. But you can try to write to oa.doctor [at] gmail [dot] com and explain him the problem.

      • SAPE says:

        Howdy!
        I played against him yesterday. He still use our prefix. I sent a mail to The Doctor yesterday evening about it.

      • JesseJames says:

        I played also this morning with this guy and Jippi, and he has 3 penalty’s and than he was gone. It’s not good for our name that he uses our prefix.

  2732. Biondo says:

    There is nothing we can do against this. Sooner or later, he’ll get tired of this and will change his name 🙁

  2733. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    There is a player who stole our clan name.

    http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=813&config=0

    He use the same color as we. Jippi and I warned him to change his name, because he isn’t lame clan member. He said, he don’t want to change his name.

    What can we do?

  2734. Wiskey says:

    I was the first third, but when the connection is disconnected, I lose even for bot.

  2735. Mope says:

    We played 2 games: 1st by Wiskey, Zapata and me, and at the second Jippi has joined us.

    I’ve got the screen of the first, the second round Jippi has won, of course, but I’ve forgot to take a screen :(.

    shot0164

    I don’t think we’ll add this to overall score, because few clan members have participated. I think, that further we must announce the match smth like 2 days in advance, so if people can’t make it, we could rearrange the time.

  2736. Biondo says:

    Did you play? Where are the scores?
    I told that probably I didn’t play (because of the degree of one of my nephews). Sorry.

  2737. ZaPaTa says:

    I will be there but I can’t make it that late as last time…Nice to see Biondo pict the Good one for his pic. funny 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Zapa, I had to choose the Good for me … Biondo is the name of Clint Eastwood in “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (Italian version). 😛 I think he is named Blondie in English version. For you I chose Marlon Brando in “Viva Zapata!”
      For Jesse, the real Jesse James.
      For Wiskey, the alcoholic Fuzzy Q. Jones (aka Al St. John, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_St._John).
      For Rems, the dynamite man and Gatlinger James Coburn of “Duck, You Sucker!”.
      The others are almost casual choices.

      • GREYMAN says:

        Biondo hungarian version is also included. The films were accurately translated in Hungary. It is a great western film. Biondo hungarian report: SZÖSZI 😀

  2738. GREYMAN says:

    I do not know whether I’ll be there. If not, go for it guys!
    Nice picture Biondo i like it really!

  2739. JesseJames says:

    It’s a pity but I can’t play tonight :s because their is a great party in our city. 🙂 Play hard but fair! 🙂

    Nice picture Biondo, it’s very interesting to see who are your worst enemies 🙂

  2740. SAPE says:

    I will be there.

    Update: Biondo said sometimes the real life is harder then the SG. Biondo, you all right. I won’t be there tonight. 🙁

  2741. GREYMAN says:

    WOW! I dare not shoot anymore, even at the end of the Mope to get revenge! 😀
    Oakley does not like you? Only one eye on you to listen!

  2742. Mope says:

    Wow, Great vector, Biondo!

  2743. JesseJames says:

    Lol @picture great picture Biondo

    @Sape ZZtop is very great ,the mans with long beards.

    My favorites are ofcourse in the weekends partytracks.
    But I like also the old classics:(the rolling stones, the kinks,…)

    rock: like the foo fighters, … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBjQ9tuuTJQ

    Also (rock)Folk can interest me: Flogging Molly :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSwaVvF7rdU

    The Pogues: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVUZuVZWHkk

    but what I also like is Mestizo, it’s very sunny music like Manu Chao http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCb0qfJUZ2w&feature=related

    Also the sunny reggae music like Inner circle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kfTuNdku3A

    or Laid Back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPjIC0TRstY

    I love a lot of music! 🙂

  2744. Biondo says:

    Judging by the tattoo, I’d say you have a hope with AwesomPossum, Mope.

  2745. SAPE says:

    😀
    😀

    @Biondo. South rock?

  2746. Mope says:

    haha, Biondo! You knew it!

  2747. Mope says:

    Hmm, very hard question, for me it’s maybe harder than “what types of women you like” 😉 But in general I can summarize those favorite genres: indie rock, synth-pop, dream pop, psychedelic rock, nu-gaze, industrial.

    As to bands, I can mention some of my favorites: The Legendary Pink Dots, The Knife, Blonde Redhead.

  2748. SAPE says:

    Ok.
    So you knowledge of genres is limited. I sure you know country music, we were talking about it.
    The south rock is a lesser known genre.
    I don’t know you know it or not, like it or not, but I give it a try:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va0PAMNWSis

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Du-CWASm20

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn2-b_opVTo

    Frank Zappa’s art is outstanding, I aggre with you. And of corse, Morricone. 🙂

  2749. Biondo says:

    I’m very eclectic and changing in my musical tastes. I can’t summarize them in genres, also because my knowledge of genres is very limited.

    In recent years, it happens that I fall in love with something I’ve casually heard and for the following weeks I listen obsessively to that. Examples: Björk, CocoRosie, Gorillaz, Little Dragon, …

    Apart from that, I’m a fan of Frank Zappa, in all his different aspects, while I often listen to classic music (from Mozart to Stravinskij, to contemporary music).
    And of course, Morricone 😉

  2750. SAPE says:

    Anyway, what type of music do you like?
    Jesse a DJ, we know. Zap like reggae, I prefer country and south rock. The others?

  2751. JesseJames says:

    @Greyman the baby is well at this moment, he laid a few days in the hospital with an infection but now he is well, our sister is also well. He is so cute 🙂
    Hooray! Tnx for the intrest.

  2752. GREYMAN says:

    Hi Zapata!
    How’s the baby and the mother/your sister? Both are doing well?
    A word of advice: sleep yourselves before in the hospital until they are, though as I reckon it is too late. 🙂

  2753. @spi says:

    hmmm … never heard about this movies/series/comix you blog about, but looks intrested
    i dont realy like mangas, i know they are realy popular in japan and more and more in europe
    and around the world, but i dont like this drawing style. i am a fan of classic belgo/french comix,
    or amerikan artists like corben/shelton or bagge.
    the only german subculture artists i remember is peter puck or gerhard seyfried, i dont know if some strips are translated in other languages
    or if they are known outside germany. comic kultur for the most people her is limited to mickeymous/donaldduck/asterix and lucky luke
    things for children not for adults.
    parents (like me) are confroted with pokemon or beyblade my children love that, and the roots are manga/animes but totally
    merchandised/commercialized.
    i saw some adult anime series accidentally and was facinated by the story and the tecnology, i have to say some are really good
    produced, but the most are commercial easy to consume bulk goods.

    btw. if you are a conic fan have look on wop http://worldofpadman.com
    i play this game befor i find my way to sg 😉

    i know my comment has noting to do with western,, sorry i cant resist

    cheers @spi

  2754. Biondo says:

    Ahh … OK, Sape, now I understand what you wanted to say yesterday in game 😀

    No, I didn’t notice anything strange in your movements. I just noted that you played worst than ever and all that you got was a severe punishment :mrgreen:

  2755. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Yesterday I tested some confiq modification:
    \cl_timeNudge “-50”
    \cl_maxpakets “125”
    \cg_simpleItems “1″

    Results:
    \cg_simpleItems “1″
    I like it. It give some advantage. You can see the items (guns, ammo, money) much more bigger the field.

    \cl_maxpakets “125”
    Advantage: the playing become continuous, maybe less lag. I will test it, I try to find the optimum.

    \cl_timeNudge “-50”
    It is a difficult question. At the begining, it was terrible. I can’t hit the target, I fail continuously. But the last game I caught the rhythm. My accuracy became better, especially moving target. Mope was there this time at night.
    It would be good, but I don’t know the disadvantage.
    Biondo, Mope, you played against me when I used it. Could you see any differencess (incorrect movement, continuous lagging, teleporting etc.)?
    I think I wasn’t a harder target. I watched my demo. I didn’t see anything special.

    Here is the demo:

    Yep, Wiskey, sure, Back to the Future 3 is a perfect example of western and scifi combination, even wikipedia recommends it :).

    My previous comment refers to Serenity, surely it’s not a western, it’s mentioned here only as a sequel of Firefly series, that have more western motives. I see my mistake now – the picture I’ve placed drives attention to the movie from the series…

  2758. Wiskey says:

    Biondo Thank you for this, I believe that I have always wondered how some people know who is cheating and who is not. How can I watch those videos that VLC does not open them?

    • Biondo says:

      Wiskey, you can’t open demos as if they were normal videos, you have to watch them inside SG program. .dm_68 files are typical Quake3 recordings, and are richer than a common video format in that they include chat talks and other data of the game. In BB demos you don’t see chat only because TheDoctor removed it for respect of privacy.

      Save the demo in your game’s demo directory, start Smokin’ Guns, open the console and type \demo FILENAME (where FILENAME is the name of the downloaded demo you want to review). Alternatively, you can choose Demos from the main game menu (click on the book) to get graphical listing of all available files.

      More extensive instructions to replay demos is given at the end of this page: http://bb.game-host.org/demos/

  2759. Wiskey says:

    I do not know, Mope understood what I said at that end but then called again. So, this could also be connected to the movie Back to the Future. The film, Marty and the Professor of travelers from 1985 until 1885 which was the Wild West period of time. In that film, western and science fiction combine well, and it is my favorite part of me Back to the Future series.

  2760. ZaPaTa says:

    I have to skip parts of that video ’cause it looks so boring.
    Funny to read about muff. I always consider him of one of the most boring players…Skilled, yes. Creative, no way.
    And very ‘intuitive’…

    • Biondo says:

      Zapa, Muffin and Nautica, both camp a lot. Still they rules.
      If you want my opinion, a better and creative player, never boring, was TheDoctor (but he doesn’t play any more).

  2761. Biondo says:

    Yes it was. I told him that also if he’s not a good player now, he is welcome. I think he will teach something to us all, in the long time.

  2762. Biondo says:

    A last comment, next I’ll shut up.

    You don’t have to think that cheats are common in SG.
    Cheating involves some work… you have to find cheats, know how to use them (this is not so easy), avoid being banned.

    I think that the percentage of cheaters is very very low.
    It was higher in summer 2010 because SG servers’ admins were not prepared to this. Nowadays, only less than 1 cheater in a month is seen in all well administered SG servers.

    In Ballerbude (& Co.) you can play as if they never existed.

  2763. SAPE says:

    You met Mercurius in game, Biondo. I think it was the first met.

  2764. Biondo says:

    Update. Tonight TheDoctor confirmed it to me: SpecialBude and TerraNova have anti-cheat system as BallerBude.

  2765. GREYMAN says:

    Thanks Biondo, accurate informations.
    Some players are very inventive I’m impressed. 🙂
    Wels i knew wallhack and aimbot the other two have not. I see demos.
    As a layman, I think that Bright skins can be a huge advantage for a better and faster player. If you would like infrared glasses.

    • Biondo says:

      Grey (and all), don’t try to modify SG files. I mean, don’t try to change players’ model in your SG installation, just for trying. Every change you make to those files is recognized by servers and you can’t connect any more.

      I’ve tried once, long time before I knew of cheating, just because I was curious to see what could happen, and I wasn’t able to connect any more.

      Cheats don’t work this way… they don’t change SG’s original files, they intercepts server-clients communication.

  2766. SAPE says:

    Ugly is irritating. Yep. I don’t like him. I don’t like dyna-cowboys. But there is one much more irritating thing: when a *LAME* clan member use dyna during the full time of the game.
    The Doctor said Ugly don’t cheating. We MUST accept it, I think. If we don’t trust his words, the game would become chaotic.
    Nautica is one of the best player. I saw 2 or 3 of Nautica’s demo. I can’t see any suspicious things.
    I often “call vote” too, but just one time, and just the bigining of the game, when nobody has frag, and I never repeat it, if it failed.

  2767. Biondo says:

    Sape, I wrote to Mercurius…

    As the steps I have to do for migrating the site are not totally clear to me, I’d like to wait for JippiYaYeah’s help.

    Jippi, you already tested the migration in your own server, could you summarize for me the exact process, step by step?

    • SAPE says:

      Ok. He probably read it in the evening, and he answer. Mercurius always keep his promise. I trust him.

  2768. SAPE says:

    Yep. Good Idea. I work on the maps. The screenshots are the first step. I will drave the tunnels and caves. And I try to guess appellations that we can remember.

  2769. JesseJames says:

    Tnx SAPE

  2770. JesseJames says:

    If he want to join the clan he can, I think after all his work for the clan, not?

  2771. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you Zapata

  2772. ZaPaTa says:

    curious about how this will evolve. Thanks so far, Mercurius seems nice enough 😀

  2773. ZaPaTa says:

    Wouldn’t it be nice to add all current maps that we play in BB from this point of view here. We could make a page with all these ‘plans’ of the maps and use them to study and give them names?

  2774. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I talked with Mercurius. His offer is still avaliable. He welcomes the clan. 🙂
    Biondo, contact with him, he waiting for your mail.

    • Biondo says:

      Thanks Sape, I’ll do as soon as possible. I think that Mercurius deserves a place in *LAME* Clan, now!

  2775. Mope says:

    Wiskey, I think the series have more from western, even the stories of some episodes can be recongnised as western motives.

  2776. Wiskey says:

    I watched Serenity today and I can say that it is worth a look, if possible. Except that I think Serenity is more sci-fi movie, I do not remember that it had anything to western types of things. This could also be added to Back to the Future 3, in which people travel by 1885 and eventually back to 1985 and back again.

  2777. SAPE says:

    Nice mix Jesse. Great work.

  2778. Mope says:

    Sure, Greyman, I saw the Vampire Hunter D – The Bloodlust, and the prequel move too, one of my favorites… not western, but it has some western motives, however.

    Thanx all, I’d like to write another separate post about the steampunk genre and weapons as well, but not completely sure, because the steampunk style and look is influenced by Victorian, not Western. But maybe I’ll find enough resemblance…

  2779. GREYMAN says:

    Good taste Mope!
    We have those comic books were not (at least 20 years ago, only Superman, Batman btw.), now maybe they are.
    The Dark Tower had the pleasure to read I really liked, Serenitiy introductory movie I saw I can only recommend. The anime movie I’ve ever seen, but as soon as I can make up. Thanks Mope looks interesting.
    Did you ever see anime D the vampire hunter movie (a real fantasy not western)? I like anime movies for me this is one of my favorites.

  2780. JesseJames says:

    Lol western vs Scienefiction is genius I think. I will check it out if I have time

  2781. Alex says:

    Hi *Lame* clan!
    In Smokin’Guns my name is : .I. PiStoLeRo0 .I.
    I want to join *Lame* clan!

    Wright me an E-mail(PanathinaikosCrete13 [at] gmail [dot] com) to know further information about me!
    Alex

  2782. Biondo says:

    1– He can’t play often: OK, no problem.
    2– Insults: I never heard him insulting. But again, in BallerBude there is no way for a cheater to know the position of players that are not in your field of vision (or better that are not visible to you). So no wallhack is possible and a radar would be of few help because it could only show already visible players.
    3– Voting is a right of course, but when you abuse of it (calling vote 10 times in 2 minutes) your behaviour is annoying and irritating to others (in the same way of that of ubojica).
    4– SG beta: I offered him my help but I got no answer

    Rems’s lack of presence in clan’s life, is the main problem for me.
    I can live with him in clan, but I’ll be happy if sometimes he could comment in this blog.
    Rems, why don’t you reply to my comment?

  2783. ZaPaTa says:

    Great! Tnx a lot Grey, Sape and Biondo!

  2784. JesseJames says:

    Rems mailed me today and said this:

    hi Ward

    Sorry, but I can’t often connected in the game now, because I’m in high scool and I can playing only week ends.

    Then, only people I insult (I just say that they cheats, so it’s not insulting) are “nautica” and “ubojica”. I am 99% sure that they are cheating, maybe using radar. And others players are right with me, I’m never alone to say that.
    Please, don’t think I’m a unfair player, I just hate cheaters.

    -Voting is my right, is not a wrong. I often vote because there are some maps that doesn’t work fine with my computer.

    And i said you that I can download 1.1b4 version, but I can’t launch it. I saw in the forum the same problem but I still failed. So I can’t play in clan DM unless you change the map in a 1.0 version map.

    thanks for your understanding

    What’s your opinion about this?

  2785. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Mope. All 3 suggestions seems interesting. I’ve never read or seen anyone of these books/TV-series/mangas but I’ll keep them in mind.
    BTW, I added to the blog a category for Books and Comics, that was missing.

  2786. Biondo says:

    I know and I told you. I don’t know how to remove the legs, Sape.
    But if you go high enough you cant take the photo and next cut out the legs with a photo-editing software (this is what I’ve done).

    • SAPE says:

      It works perfectly Biondo. Thanx. My first idea was a quake3 map editor, but your solution is much more better.

  2787. SAPE says:

    I tried it. It works. Only one thing, If I look down, my legs are visible. The picture is look like a parachute cowboy made it. 😀

  2788. JesseJames says:

    Indeed thank you SAPE that you will ask it to Mercurius.

  2789. Mope says:

    Great, thank you, Sape!

  2790. Biondo says:

    Ok. 🙂

  2791. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Yep, the better choice is Mercurius’s server. In fact this is the only one possibility. I will talk him about the migration on Monday. If he say OK, I will write it to you, Biondo, and after it you will speak the technical stuff with Mercurius.
    Ok Biondo?

  2792. JesseJames says:

    @biondo that is We are all wounded at wounded knee of redbone. An indian group who made a song about the battle in wounded knee. Maybe not a countrymusicsong, but he have something with Cowboys and Indians. 🙂

    And the Morricone song was an idea of SAPE. 🙂

    Tnx for appreciation, I heard now a few mistakes in the mix I will correct them. 🙂

  2793. JesseJames says:

    Wow very spectacular!
    Nice video SAPE!

  2794. JesseJames says:

    http://soundcloud.com/kartje/jesse-james-mix
    the new Country/Indian music 🙂 Enjoy it!

    • Biondo says:

      Hehe, wonderful work Jesse. I’m not a disco man (I’ve been in discoteque only one time, more than 20 years ago… ouch), but every mix starting with a track by Morricone is well welcome 😀

      … and I love American natives, I have a lot of books about/by them (though modern “American Indian” music has probably no link to their real music).

      At time 7:50 there’s a track I don’t like and that I think has nothing to do with the rest of the music (I’m writing as I’m listening).

      Really enjoyable! Nice, thank you.

  2795. SAPE says:

    Excellent pictures! Nice Biondo.

    Anyway, Don’t believe your eyes… 🙂

  2796. Biondo says:

    Sape, copy the text below to a file named sape_maps.cfg and put the file in the same directory where q3config.cfg is.

    After you started the map (\devmap dm_dry), type in console “\exec sape_maps.cfg” … and you are done.

    Hehe last night the game was very hard, the game that SAPE won was epic, and TDM was also fun. We talk more and that saw we in the score. Our mum was very angry to play so long 🙂 Tnx all 🙂

  2798. GREYMAN says:

    Last night I played a likable LAME. It is also included in the deck. 🙂
    For me, then life was harder than SG. It is also a very good game and had fun.
    Congratulations guys, you were very good at all.

    @biondo: “Sape is a Beast”: Think I was locked up for eight hours a BEAST in the attic of the barn at some time in a very long time ago.
    It was hard but I survived! 🙂 🙂 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      😀 Sape locked you?

      Anyway you had a very good score at least in one of 2 TDM, I remember!

      • GREYMAN says:

        No 🙂 It was a practice was in university, we cared animals, worked together. It was hard physical work. We became friends there.

  2799. Biondo says:

    Eh eh, nice your childish discover of stereo-fence! I know stereograms, I have first seen them in Barcelona about 20 years ago, in books sold in libraries (they were very popular there in that period).

    If the image is too large, stay at a higher distance from monitor, and try also the 2nd way to get 3D view (some images are easier with the first way and others with the second). I have to say than OLD sterographs are not easy matter, because often the two photographs are too much different because of spots of dirt or because one of them has faded colors.

    About the image … yes I have cut apart the 2 photos and superimposed one on top of the other, exporting them to an animated GIF (not my invention, though).

    I don’t have 3D glasses (I only have X-Ray ones 😉 ) but sure with these stereographs it’s also be possible to compose a static 3D photo to be seen with them.

  2800. ZaPaTa says:

    Excellent post. I learned the skills of freeviewing when I was younger, by accident, by staring trough a fence. The different lines of that pattern came together and BAM! there it is! I still loves it when that happens with patterns or images. I looked up every Stereogram (o boy! Joy! look up ‘stereogram’ in Google images and test it. There are tuns of those pics on the net) on the net.
    But i find it hard with these ‘Stereographs’. The image is too large for me, or the distance between them. I don’t succeed in blending them on top of one another.

    Nice Gif…you just add both images on top of each other and than activating/deactivating layers? Briliant effect. Loving it, making the picture come alive.

  2801. ZaPaTa says:

    Haha nice all, I had a very very nice evening yesterday. Weekly practice seems to pay of, not only for my skills but also for LAME spirit. Was good to link up with all there. Too bad for those who missed it.

  2802. SAPE says:

    The Beast. 🙂
    Yesterday I caught the rythm. If you see the results of the clan DM, you can see that sometimes I play good, sometimes I play very-very bad. I am a “mood man”, my mood strongly impact my playing.
    When I play good, there are two possible moods: I feel good or I go mad. ( the second case is more dangerous) 😉
    The “Beast” name is apt in this case I think. Maybe, I make a bind, and I change my name, if I go mad. 🙂

  2803. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I have a plan. I try to make the “maps of the maps”.
    I think I make a 2D, plan view map. And when it was finished, we would give a name, or a mark to every buildings.
    I think it would be easier to say your teammate:
    I am on the roof of the No. 2. house, or the enemys are the “b” house upstars.
    What is your opinion?

    • Biondo says:

      Hi, Sape. I’m not sure we need these maps as I’d never been able to remember all those numbers 🙂

      Anyway, if you want to take screenshots of a whole map from the sky you have to go very high in the sky. Simply spectating, you can’t do this because there is a sort of invisible roof in all maps.
      But there is a workaround to take photos like the one below:

      – open SG and go in console
      – type: \devmap dm_dry (or the name of another map, but you have to know it’s SG name). This starts a singleplayer map where you can use ‘cheats’
      – type: \cg_drawGun 0 (this hides the gun)
      – type: \cg_draw2D 0 (this hides the hud)
      – type \noclip (this lets you move across all walls, also that invisible one on top of map)
      – then don’t spectate, just go high in the sky (space key)
      – F11 for screenshot

      This is done with r_picmip 9 as you can see. I didn’t find a way to hide my legs (I just cut the image in Gimp), but there should be one.

      To switch back to default values, re-type the commands with value “1” instead of “0”.

      • SAPE says:

        You all right Biondo.
        The numbers are bad idea. But I think if I make a map, it would be useful. We don’t have to use number, we could use names. If everybody know, which is the “big house” for example in a map, it would be useful.
        Thanx the technical tips, I will try it.

  2804. Biondo says:

    The scores:

    Well it was a nice and fun game. Not every Lame was present, but OK.

    Mope had a nice score in the first match, but Sape (The Beast) and ZaPaTa took the scene. Congrats!

    Biondo… well … better not talk about him (he is crying and smoking in the balcony, so sad 😥 ).

  2805. GREYMAN says:

    ok 21:00

  2806. JesseJames says:

    OK for me too 21

  2807. ZaPaTa says:

    Perfect, 21:00. I will be late, so is perfect for me too.
    Thanks!

  2808. Anonymous says:

    okidoki! 2100

  2809. SAPE says:

    21:00 is better to me too. I have some work in the evening.

    • Biondo says:

      OK. I think we have to start at 21:00, so we have Mope and Sape with us. I correct the post.

  2810. Biondo says:

    For me it’s better 1/2 hour later.

    About Lake… this the only map where playing with picmip 9 gives you a real advantage because the trees look like defoliated poles! For me it’s OK 😀

  2811. Mope says:

    Howdy folks, I’ll try to get on time, but there are some traffic complications here (there are holidays) and I must manage to get to TA from Jerusalem. So it will be helpful of you to move the match half an hour later, pleeeeeease.

    Sape, I also like the LAKE, it’s quiet and meditative place.

  2812. JippiJaYeah says:

    I take every map! 😉

  2813. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I suggest just one map, something new, almost natural environment, with few buildings. It is an unique map for me:
    LAKE

  2814. GREYMAN says:

    Thanks the honor Biondo, and @spi! 🙂

  2815. @spi says:

    to early for me tomorrow, i am clamped in family cases by my wife and mother …..

    in my mind i stay beside you lamers, and please celebrate a knife kill to me (best biondo or jjy from behind 😉
    cu friends, and we will stay in toutch

    cheers markus

  2816. JesseJames says:

    I vote for Alamo Tiny, and Tijuana

  2817. Wiskey says:

    I vote Station and Ghost Town.

  2818. Biondo says:

    There’s an update.
    Greyman has been promoted to the role of moderator. Congrats, Grey!
    I have been downgraded to moderator too. That’s better for me, as I don’t want to be an admin anymore 🙂

    • ZaPaTa says:

      Congrats to Greyman, and in fact also to you Biondo, I thinks it’s good to be all on the same level with LAME and if you feel it will be better this way, than it’s good for me (and all of us) too.

  2819. GREYMAN says:

    Nice photos Biondo. Picture of the Old West i like this.

    @ jesse: a wise idea, would have missed the clan. 🙂
    I agree with you.

  2820. Biondo says:

    To say it honestly… I think that a moderator can do almost nothing today in Baller. There is an anti-cheat system that every day gives us proofs of being working. So spectating and documenting good players is stupid 🙂 (At least until somebody finds a workaround to bypass antti-cheat).

    I don’t really know what a moderator can do to be useful.

    About cheats (that are still possible in other servers), in Jabber, Mope asked me more than one time “How can I say that player X is cheating?” and I promised him a post on this, and soon, I’ll post something on this.

  2821. JesseJames says:

    @BIondo pffffiw, I was a little bit scared of this role. It’s better that we can’t kick people of give warnings, everyone had once that bad day that you do stupid things and with that role it was possible that we did some stupid things. It’s better to do it on this way, give some information of cheating people. I’d like this moere :).
    @biondo I will write the email, tnx for the help.

  2822. JesseJames says:

    Nice page Biondo, I’am always a little bit nostalgic if I see such a photo’s, I would lived in that period (of course not for my whole life).

  2823. Biondo says:

    I got a Jabber message from @spi: you can’t mute/warn/kick players, you can only collect informations about them. I hope you aren’t too much disappointed by this lack of admin’s powers.

    May one day, some of you will be promoted to a real admin role.

  2824. Biondo says:

    Sape, Greyman, talking about dogs, did you know of Bummer and Lazarus?

    Rats mourning on altar of dead dog; another dog in heaven.

    [Image source: http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/tf8n39p5k3/?order=1 ]

    Bummer and Lazarus were two stray dogs that roamed the streets of San Francisco in the early 1860s.

    Recognized for their unique bond and their prodigious rat-killing ability, they became a fixture of city newspapers, were exempted from local ordinances, and immortalized in cartoons.

    Bummer was a black-and-white Newfoundland who established himself outside the saloon of Frederick Martin in 1860. In 1861 he was joined by another dog—after rescuing him from a fight. This dog was in a bad way, with a deep wound on his leg, and was not expected to live. Bummer coaxed him to eat, brought back scraps from his scavenging missions and huddled next to him to keep him warm during the night. The injured dog quickly recovered and within days was following Bummer as he made his begging rounds in the streets. This remarkable recovery earned him the name Lazarus, and he proved to be an even more prodigious ratter than Bummer.

    As a team they turned out to be exceptional, once finishing off 85 rats in 20 minutes. Referred to as the Damon and Pythias of San Francisco, they remained inseparable friends until Lazarus was killed in October 1863. Bummer continued alone, although Mark Twain reported a year later in the Daily Morning Call that he had taken a small black puppy under his wing. In November 1865, Bummer died a lingering death after being kicked by a drunk named Henry Rippey. He was still popular enough that, to avoid violence, the city immediately arrested Rippey. But he did not escape popular justice. On learning of his crime, his cellmate, David Popley, promptly “popped him in the smeller.”

    thanks Jesse

  2826. SAPE says:

    It is nice and interesting homepage. Thanx Biondo.

  2827. SAPE says:

    I talked with Mercurius about timenudge.
    He said it is possible to reach zero ping using timenudge, because probable the server don’t count negative ping, if your ping is 45, and you use -50 timenudge for example. Your ping is negative, but the server register zero ping.

  2828. Biondo says:

    More about timenudge.

    Sape, of course you are free to try it. As long as the game let a player use a negative timenudge, timenudge “-50” is not cheating.

    I never mentioned it before in this blog because I know it’s a controversial matter. You can be criticized by someone who knows that you use it, and in Baller you got kicked in past times (an maybe also in future times, listening to TheDoctor).

    But it’s legal, in the same way as it is legal to use r_picmip “9” (thing that I never hide … I also published a post/video in this blog!) or cg_simpleItems “1”.

    About !NuB suggestion to use “/cl_maxpackets 125”, try it. I tried it and didn’t find a difference in my ping.

    • SAPE says:

      What is the advantage of the cg_simpleItems “1″? Is the default is cg_simpleItems “0”?
      Anyway, I tried the picmip “9”. Huh. It was very strange, and the tunnel was horrific. The picmic “9” is the maximum, or are there bigger picmip values?

      • Biondo says:

        @Sape:

        Planetquake (http://www.planetquake3.net/tweak/glossary_commands.html) explains Simpleitems in these words: “With this on, all items and pickups will be displayed in 2D rather than 3D. This is especially helpful for people with slower machines as it can give noticeable framerate [FPS] increase.”
        There is also the advantage that money, abandoned weapons, boiler plates, … are more visible in the map. The only disadvantage is that simple items are ugly.
        Yes default is cg_simpleItems “0″.

        Simpleitems are buggy in SG. Using cg_simpleItems “1″ sometimes you can see dropped items through doors (it’s typical in dm_train to see dropped boiler-plates through doors where players died).

        picmic “9″ is the maximum, default is “1”.

  2829. SAPE says:

    BB magnum is playing now. His ping is zero. I ask him about timenudge.
    He said, yep it is timnudge.

  2830. JesseJames says:

    Ok i will mail him, but what would I write in that mail so that I’am not insult him or whatever. Because with my english it’s easy to have misunderstandings.

    • Biondo says:

      I think you can almost copy my comment here:

      His behaviour is often irritating:
      – insults (though I’m not witness of this)
      – spamming with votes to change map, insistently, until he gets to the 2-3 maps where he can make a better use of Gatling
      – no interaction with other members in this blog (not even a comment with just a 🙂 in it). This is the only time when he wrote: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/clan-deathmatches/ and we were happy to hear him, but he didn’t even answered to our comments.

      And you propose him to watch him for 2 weeks and see if he changes his behaviour.

      You can also ask him directly: “Rems, are you sure you share the spirit of *LAME* Clan? Or you changed your mind and you think you could be happier playing alone?”

      I don’t want to through him out of the clan, but I’d like to see a sign that he loves this clan.

  2831. JesseJames says:

    Wow sape , nice languageknowledge:)
    Nice page Greyman,and Sape, and now Biondo . I don’t know very good the story of this ‘strange’ man.

  2832. SAPE says:

    I tried to find some information about timenudge.
    I read the SG forum, and I sought in google, and I saw some SG clan homepage.
    I didn’t find anything about timenudge in BB homepage. But… I found this in the Nub homepage:

    http://sg-nub-clan.de.tl/improve-ping.htm

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, I know. Nice work, Sape.
      But I don’t consider timenudge -50 a fair game. At least there are many doubts if it is fair.

  2833. Biondo says:

    Sape, you speak Latin better than me! 🙂

  2834. GREYMAN says:

    Language assistants: SAPE and Biondo
    Thank you very much guys, was a great help to me. 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      I didn’t correct the text, Greyman, and to be honest I found it a little bit difficult to understand in some sentences (don’t trust Google Translate 100% … you still have to do the dirty work) 😉

      After reading your comment, I corrected some words/sentences of your page. I hope I haven’t betrayed the intended sense. Still there are a couple of phrases that are mysterious to me; Hungarian and Italian languages are so distant from each, that’s hard to imagine the original thinking.

      • SAPE says:

        Biondo, I studied Latin language for four years in the High School. Quia sic et non sum oblitus used 🙂

  2835. ZaPaTa says:

    I agree, but remember we will have to tell it to REMS, and that might be a problem? JJ can you mail him our proposal?

  2836. Biondo says:

    Nice chronicle, Greyman.
    This Wild Bill, in JeuxLinux would have been banned for Team Killing …

    BTW, at the end of the day, I also shoot and refill my Colts, to avoid any possible technical problem (but it doesn’t seem to help) 😉

  2837. JesseJames says:

    Like we did for Wiskey, that is a good solution.
    I hope he change his behaviour.

  2838. Biondo says:

    I suppose we can give him a last chance to be a *LAME*.

    His behaviour is often irritating:
    — insults (though I’m not witness of this)
    — spamming with votes to change map, insistently, until he gets to the 2-3 maps where he can make a better use of Gatling
    — no interaction with other members in this blog (not even a comment with just a 🙂 in it). This is the only time when he wrote: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/clan-deathmatches/ and we were happy to hear him, but he didn’t even answered to our comments.

    I propose you to wait 2 weeks to see if he changes his behaviour. After that we can vote.

    And for the future, I think that every new recruitment should be voted and accepted by every clan member.

  2839. JesseJames says:

    I agree also, he was in the begin (when we started the clan and we had no members :)) a good player,and friendly but now he is not so often online and he insulted players, and he is sometimes a bit lame.

  2840. Biondo says:

    Timenudge is a value you can declare in your q3config.cfg (cl_timeNudge).
    Some players use a negative timenudge (usually, -50) to make more difficult to others to aim at them. You should see that they move skipping in the map and not with a smooth movement (but this is controversial).

    There is a big debate in SG forum about negative timenudge:
    [see for instance: http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?t=2431&highlight=timenudge and http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?t=2117&highlight=timenudge ]

    — Some say that it gives you an advantage, some others (a minority) say that it doesn’t give you an advantage.

    — Some say that it should be considered unfair (almost like cheating), some others (a minority) say that it’s legal.

    In BallerBude, for a short period of time, players with negative timenudge got auto-kicked when they connected. Nowadays it’s not so anymore (don’t know why).

    That said, I know that it’s not uncommon to see players with negative timenudge, but this is the first time I see a player with ping=0. Also TheDoctor says “probably”.

  2841. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    The Doctor sent a mail to me. A paste it, because I don’t understand.

    He probably uses timenudge. For the time being, I cannot prevent him from using it.

    Biondo? Jippi? What does it mean?

  2842. ZaPaTa says:

    Yes, I definitely will wait until you have some more news. But first a question. With more options comes more responsibility. Being a mod now, what duty or task is demand of us? I just like the game and I like a little the console, I didn’t ask for anything and definitely not the maintenance of BB…Hope this does not demands great responsibilities of me/us that I/we can not do good enough…Just making that clear, but so far: Thx a lot @SPi for the confidence in the LAMEclan!

    • Biondo says:

      Zapata, this is a private post, @spi can’t read what you said. I’ll forward your question to him.

  2843. ZaPaTa says:

    I strongly agree with you both. Rems is not taking part in the LAME story at all, nor does he agree with the clan rules (I already made it clear from time to time. LAME is about tolerance and fair-play). All things in the opposite direction, like insulting or cheating (all the same degree of not following clan-rules, for me) are not compatible with LAME clan. It’s up to us all to decide what’s up next with Rems…But I made my point clear here I think.

  2844. JippiJaYeah says:

    It seems to be a trick with the UDP-Ping.

  2845. Biondo says:

    I watched the demo. No clue of cheating in his behaviour (anti-cheat system works!). Still this ping = 0 is very strange!

  2846. SAPE says:

    Here is the demo:

    http://bb.game-host.org/demos/c84ddb1a_dm_coyotebluff_0003.dm_68

    2:09 and 4:09. You must see it.

  2847. SAPE says:

    I made a screen shot. I send a mail to you at first

  2848. Biondo says:

    Are you sure? I’ve never seen this happening before. You should write an email to oa.doctor [at] gmail [dot] com (also, BB clan is known for cheating).

  2849. Wiskey says:

    A good story to Sape. At that modern man no longer able to.

  2850. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I have a question.

    I played against a BB clan member in BB server. His ping is continuously 0, like the bot’s ping value.
    How is this possible?

  2851. SAPE says:

    Anyway, I think we must talk about Rems. Yes, he doesn’t take apart in the clan life. This is a minor problem.
    But He often use offensive language. This contradicts the rule of our clan. This has not been lucky up to now, but now we get higher law in BB: Biondo is admin, and the others are investigators.
    This increase the importance of the problem I think…..

  2852. Biondo says:

    If I know @spi, we’ll have to wait a couple of days before he’ll answer to my questions about what you can do in the role of moderators.

    I want to add something… in my style, honestly clear ad loud, so to avoid misunderstandings.

    I asked him to include Greyman in moderators group, because I know him and I trust him.

    I did not ask him to include Rems. Rems, I’ve never felt you as a member of this clan. The only thing you wrote here was a request for help about SG beta. I answered quickly (hours) that I could help you, but I needed more data. You never answered (weeks) to my offer of help.

    I didn’t ask him to include Wiskey, just because he isn’t a registered Baller player (what are you waiting for, Wiskey?)

  2853. Biondo says:

    Ok, thank you Sape!

  2854. SAPE says:

    Biondo, here is the available commends (investigator):
    admins, aliases, baninfo, clientinfo, demos, find, greeting, help, iptoasn, list, lookup, maps, nextmap, penalty, register, regtest, rules, seen, spamins, spree, time, warninfo, xlrstats, xlrtopstats.

  2855. Mope says:

    Lame! But we can send him a screen of this page! With a rose!

    • Biondo says:

      Eh eh…
      I just wrote to @spi in this moment to give him our thanks and to ask for more infos.
      I’m not really sure you can kick or mute a bad behaving player, so I don’t say anything more until I get a detailed list of commands you can use (and for which purposes).

      For now you can see which commands you have typing “!!help” in SG console (only while playing in BallerBude of course).

      But don’t use them, because you don’t know how to use them.

      If somebody has time to list them here this will help me to understand what you can do (I can’t do this because I belong to a different level, with different commands available).

  2856. Biondo says:

    [Just to let you know: @spi can’t read your thanks, this is a private message.]

  2857. ZaPaTa says:

    This reminds me of something, I’m a big fan of stories of adventurers and pioneering. Make sure you check out the documentaries by Ray Mears, where he mixes history, re-enactment and survival tips. Also Bruce Perry makes some very fine docu’s. I know he made a series on surviving on the North Pole, but I haven’t seen the them yet.

    • SAPE says:

      Thanx Zap. Pioneers…Good idea. OK. I start to write the new page about the pioneers rifles: the Kentucky Rifle, and the Hawken Rifle. 🙂

  2858. ZaPaTa says:

    Wow, this is so great to read. Wonderfull story SAPE, thank you. Also Greyman for your expert comment.
    I love this, it’s so good to see these post about the West, making this site and the clan more than just a group of SG-fans.
    Very educationally, and personally never heard the story before.

  2859. Mope says:

    Great news! Thanks a lot, @spi! It will be really nice to know what are our new rights and duties, and where can we get more info about it.

  2860. ZaPaTa says:

    Yes, some great news but I have to hear a bit more about it to have an idea of the scale of this news. But so far, thanks to ALL again for making this such a fast and successful journey so far!

  2861. ZaPaTa says:

    True Biondo. I also think photographing is just another way of making behavior visible and transparent. Sometimes behavior is so natural and ordinary we look over the big picture. The face of this gamer tells a bit more than just the fact that he’s gaming (this is the fact, ordinary behavior). By photographing it, the artist makes a proof of the deep concentration. It learns us that gaming is more than just something to pass the time away. Proof: the face of someone in deep concentration and analyses. It even might be a document for showing a person who experience time in a different way. (very strange feeling that, playing for an hour and truly believing it was only a quarter…Couple of year back, a Belgian gamer died because of this “time-wrap”. He hadn’t eat, sleep nor did he drunk anything over a period of several days.) Nice project.

  2862. SAPE says:

    Thanks for the appreciative words. 🙂

    @Grey: I know you are a big dog fun, But I think you’re wrong about Balto. I have not found any reliable information about his “wolf blood”. I think it is just Hollywood-trick. The wolf-hybrids aren’t suitable any works. His temperament are very scary and distrustful. Balto was an full blood mail Husky, or a mix-breed husky (actually the Alaska husky is not a breed, it is an mixed-blood north dog type).
    Anyway, I think Balto was a good leader dog, but Togo (Leonhard Seppala’s leader dog) was the best.

  2863. SAPE says:

    Yes, it is a big honor. Thanks @spi, thanks BB.

  2864. JesseJames says:

    Wow what a surprise, what a honour that we are moderators and that for a clan. It will say that we have a good name, so thank you all guys!

    • Biondo says:

      Yes Jesse, *LAME* clan has a good name (your clan rules were clear). This is the only reason why I joined your clan!

  2865. JesseJames says:

    Wow very nice piece Sape, respect.
    Damn i’am happy that I don’t live in Alaska too cold for me :), ok in Belgium is the weather also bad, but not cold.

  2866. GREYMAN says:

    VERY NICE!
    Accurate information SAPE. Balto-quarters wolf was not a pure Siberian Husky in statue can be seen as a tail on her back out.
    Today it is held every year in the dog sled race (Iditarod) is the memory of the brave.

    @ Biondo: This post SAPE merit, although many of the university under the head stuffed dog story than the story he was riding in the mine. 🙂 🙂 🙂

  2867. JippiJaYeah says:

    Ehm, srry, i mean low fps on windows.

  2868. JippiJaYeah says:

    Did somebody have problems like freezing and low ping with the map sancuchillo?

  2869. Biondo says:

    Ah ah, nice comment, Mope! I see that you are really pissed off, and I can partially understand what’s behind your feelings.

    I don’t blindly embrace the thesis of McGonigal, I don’t think that “gaming can make a better world”, still I find the talk interesting as it stresses some peculiarities of gamers’ behaviour.
    It’s reassuring having someone saying to you that you can change the world instead of saying “you are a game addict” 😉

  2870. Mope says:

    Really nice photographer’s project… I wanna make an experiment once, and record myself while playing, just for self-criticism purposes. As to this lecture… it pisses me off… like every time I listen to designers speaking “on stuff”. We’ve learned to justify logically our positions… just part of the profession, every designers college has those “crits” in classes. That thing, very useful professionally, turned great part of designers crowd to become obnoxious demagogues. Can’t stand it. Myself, I’m not so proud to work in a “gambling games” industry. I won’t justify this matter, and even want to warn you guys never to put your money on forex or binary, even if that’s seems clear and fair, it’s always the “casino wins”. Just for the record: the player money-back overall withdrawals are less than 30%! As for computer gaming, everyone knows how dangerous it is, and most of us are addicts.

  2871. Biondo says:

    Wow! Very interesting chronicle Sape (and I suppose also Greyman, or not?). You took me back to my infancy books (sled dogs, ice, the last American frontier, poor people, native Americans … in 2 words, Jack London) with this dramatic story from old times.
    Moreover my father was a doctor, a pediatrician (and an hero in his field) so I’m sensible to the matter.

  2872. JesseJames says:

    Hehe epic face :). If I have also such a face I will stop with gaming 😀
    Interesting project Biondo.

  2873. Wiskey says:

    Congratulations Zapata

    Thanks Biondo

  2874. SAPE says:

    The game is still purchasable:

    http://www.amazon.com/GUN-Pc/dp/B000ARJXW4

    It worth the price, not so expensive.

  2875. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Sape

  2876. JesseJames says:

    It seems a very good game, I will play it once, I will search for a torrent, if I find him I will post him.

  2877. JesseJames says:

    Tnx@biondo and the rest!
    @Greyman cheers! no Jack Daniëls? 😉

  2878. GREYMAN says:

    @Biondo: Very good game! SAPE has right.
    Try to download a certain torrent site that has any of the above. I’m from there I used to download games.
    Unfortunately, I do not know where can download free.

  2879. GREYMAN says:

    Congratulations Zapata! We drink with Sape tomorrow one or two or … Jim Beam of the little fighter’s health. 🙂

  2880. SAPE says:

    congratulations Zap!
    🙂

  2881. Biondo says:

    Hurray! Congrats Zapa! Congrats Jesse! (To Say Nothing of the Sister).

  2882. Mope says:

    Good News, uncle Zap!

  2883. ZaPaTa says:

    Some nice moves you made last night!
    Well, I already said, I couldn’t make it (well JJ seems to have played on my account!!!)

    I’m for the first time Uncle now, my sis gave birth to a healthy and strong boy in the evening!

  2884. Biondo says:

    This is the video… but where is the game? Can you download it or you have to pay?

    • SAPE says:

      It isn’t freeware game, but it is an old game. I think you could download it somewere. 😉
      I will search some possibility.

  2885. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Do you know the “gun” PC game?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWJ8pnBFdB0

    It is just a single player game.
    I recommend it to you. Try it! The story is good, real western feeling, fascinating game.

    I hope you enjoy it!

  2886. SAPE says:

    Anyway, I think the mouse issue, as well as the config and other Options, totally dependent person.

  2887. SAPE says:

    Biondo, you can win with a home made mouse too. Your skill, your experience, your strategic sense, etc. 🙂

  2888. Biondo says:

    Here are DM screenshots.

    Jippi’s molotov tactic didn’t work in Tijuana. It seems better my colt/knife/shotgun/luck one 😉

    And TDM screenshot.

    I have to say that Wiskey is born for TDM (or for Hang’em High, or for Nargajunas)! Nice score there, Wiskey!

  2889. JesseJames says:

    OK see you there, I think that I can play this evening.

  2890. JesseJames says:

    @SAPE what is the difference about a daily mouse and a gaming mouse?

    • SAPE says:

      Hi Jesse!
      The differences:
      1. Higher dpi (dot per inch) value.
      A daily mouse’s dpi value is generally 800 dpi, a gaming mouse dpi value is minimum 2400 dpi.
      Result: higher accuracy under the same mouse speed (I think you don’t need better accuracy), or the same accuracy under higher mouse speed.
      2. You can adjust the speed of the mouse finer.
      3. The buttons is much more precise, therefore the reaction time is shorter, there are “click” and the shoot in nearly the same moment. There is smaller delay.
      4.There are minimum 5, programmable mouse button.

      • Biondo says:

        Hmm…
        IMO, probably the best mouse is a PS2 mouse with a ball (not infrared, nor laser) but they don’t sell them anymore 🙁

  2891. JesseJames says:

    Like ZaPaTa said we have family reasons (our sister get a child hooray!! ) :). So I can’t promise anything. I will see you @Terra Nova or BB?

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, I think we’ll try TN first. If it’s busy in BR, we can go to Baller.
      2 rounds (with score shots) and next 2 rounds in Nargajunas. I don’t think I’ll stay for 2 round in Nargajunas because they last so long time.

  2892. SAPE says:

    Let’s go LAME cowboys. I will be there. 🙂

  2893. ZaPaTa says:

    Can’t promise anything due to family reasons…But hope to make it. Official DM’s and some TDM, just for fun without points? How will our scoring track evolve?

  2894. Mope says:

    I pick up the thrown glove! Met me at Terra Nova, don’t forget to arrange your funeral preparations before.

  2895. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I know one more western comic: Jonah Hex.
    It is a western-fantasy story. Some years ago a movie hes made based on the story.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l0zSd_DQQ4

  2896. SAPE says:

    Zap! I suggest that try a gamer mouse. I have played a low price gamer mouse since few week. 😉 It works.

    For example:

    http://www.trust.com/products/productpictures.aspx?artnr=16344

  2897. @spi says:

    the fly looks like …. hmm … doc, @spi or brain ? biondo ?
    … ooops … i kill this bug on the wall beside me, and get a awful bloody rest of it …what a mess, i have to clean it up 😉

    kind regarsd
    @spi

  2898. JippiJaYeah says:

    Witch bloody fingerprint is that?

  2899. Mope says:

    wow, neat work you’ve done here, Biondo

  2900. Wiskey says:

    Yes Zapata, Blueberry has also been translated into Finnish, I have read the Lucky Luke comics smaller. I also have some Tex Willer a western themed comics are also familiar in Finland.

  2901. Biondo says:

    ty, Sape and Zapa! … and Grey!

  2902. GREYMAN says:

    Nice Biondo, great work thank you. 🙂

  2903. Biondo says:

    Zapa, I wanted to go to a bookshop today, watching for Italian versions of Moebius’s Blueberry, but couldn’t find the time. Maybe tomorrow.

  2904. ZaPaTa says:

    Wiskey, you read them in Suomi? If so, they also might be translated in Italian and Biondo can look for them. I don’t know of any translation except Dutch

  2905. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice to see someone else posted demo’s. I’ll watch them as soon as possible to see your progress. I def. will learn from it, since I also play with a very cheap mouse. I always thought that would matter 😀

  2906. ZaPaTa says:

    very funny. Mind the ‘diner-time’ (aka time for a smoke?) gap between 19 and 20…

  2907. SAPE says:

    🙂 🙂 🙂

    http://bb.game-host.org/demos/1f8217a0_br_santacruz_0011.dm_68

    I think I find a good compromise…

    Thanx Biondo!

  2908. SAPE says:

    Nice Biondo! Excellent idea and execution. GREAT! 🙂

  2909. Biondo says:

    Thank you both (@spi and Jesse). It’s not easy to get data from images (and not from numbers), you have to use all your imagination. Once I got it, I could also switch back from image to numbers (not published here) … but with the right software you can plot image colours to numbers and get back a numerical graph.

  2910. JesseJames says:

    Very nice work Biondo. Indeed for me it’s also the time that i’am online. :).

  2911. @spi says:

    LOL … nice and funny grafical work, like always 😉

  2912. Wiskey says:

    I will do that for registration as soon as possible, before I could do it when I did not know how to do it but maybe now succeeds

  2913. Biondo says:

    Your accuracy is better, good. Your agility is reduced, of course. You need time to get used to new settings.
    But you can also try (without changing sensibility) to use Quake-online acceleration:

    – backup your q3config
    – open SG and go to settings (search there)

    You should experiment until you find the best compromise without loosing accuracy.

    I watched your demos and I think that your aim is accurate (can’t say if in average or not). When you get nervous things change, but this is normal… 😉

  2914. GREYMAN says:

    The weekend will be ready when the first piece from me on all okay. Our armorer (SAPE 🙂 ) still go through the spelling of English. I begin with Wild Bill Hickok.

  2915. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I have on question more:
    I hate some maps, for example Durango. (I like lots maps: Dry, Fort Cobber, Hang ’em High, Canyon) In Durango I often “callwote”, but just one time, I don’t repeate it, if it false, and I just make “callvote”, when the game just start, and nobody has frag, and just once, If it false, I rather log out.
    Whais your opinion? Jippi?

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      The only map i hate is the ship map, all others map are ok for me, so i didn’t often vote. I don’t have bind the vote keys “yes”,”no”.
      What i do not like is that somebody vote when i have circa 27 points, before i want to finished the map. So, esp. FA-Seby yesterday, and it’s no his first time. When you start voting at the beginning, that’s ok and fair for everyone.

  2916. SAPE says:

    I tried a slower mouse setting. My accuracy is became better, but my reaction time is became worse. I can’t turn fast enough. 🙁
    I must choose between accuracy and speed. Or I find a mean.
    Biondo, you have seen a lot of SG demo. What is your opinion of my accuracy? It is enough, or average, or good?

  2917. Biondo says:

    It’s too much sensitive. Yep.

  2918. SAPE says:

    Ok. I try my mouse sensitivity. 360 degree turn, 4 cm mouse movement. 🙂
    Do you think If I reduced the speed, I would become much more accurate? What is your opinion? My accuracy is enough? I think Jippi’s mouse is faster than mine.

  2919. Biondo says:

    🙂 I’m glad I helped you, Wiskey.

    Don’t forget to register in BallerBude: when you are playing type “\register” in console. This a rule Lame clan has. Its players have to register in BB.

  2920. Wiskey says:

    I also read a witch Blueberry comics when I was a young boy. Of interest, I got the western movies and games.

    Thank you for your tip Biondo, my English is much better.

  2921. Biondo says:

    I watched the 1st demo.

    Sape. are you kidding me? 🙂
    You won, you reacted promptly in every situation. I couldn’t have done a better game (yes, I know that somebody else could)…

    Nice game, nice player. Nice, Sape.

  2922. Biondo says:

    Yes! It’s a good idea.

  2923. Biondo says:

    I also think that dyna is legal and ethical, Jesse. We don’t like dyna’s abuse (that’s different), because sometimes it ruins the game, but dyna is the best way to get cheap money without loosing anything. Sometimes I use it in the beginning of a game to get enough money to buy a Colt.
    This is the reason why I think that dyna should be more expensive.
    Just my opinion.

  2924. JesseJames says:

    There are a lot of cowboy comics in Belgium/Europe. Maybe we can write a page of it with the most common Cowboy comics? ZaPaTa and I are in a great comiclibrary with more than 10000 comics.

  2925. JesseJames says:

    Sape your trick is great and ethical. You don’t use the dyna but your weapon, but if you play the trick a few times than become a bit lame for the person who is killed whole the time 😉 but for one time it’s a funny trick :). Great that you showed me yesterday. 🙂

    • SAPE says:

      Thanx Jesse.
      Anyway, I try it against one of the dyna maniac. (Not against Ugly). If you have big area (I try it Dry), and you are on a roof, it would be effective. 😉

      • Biondo says:

        Try it. But be aware that you always will find somebody saying that you are lame. Dyna is not so loved amongst SG players.

  2926. Biondo says:

    Sape, one of your photos had been stolen and displayed here: http://east-blue.forumieren.de/t2970-revolver-johnny-uf
    (Google transalte: http://translate.google.it/translate?hl=it&sl=de&tl=hu&u=http%3A%2F%2Feast-blue.forumieren.de%2Ft2970-revolver-johnny-uf).

    To see the photo you have to click the second “Spoiler” (a blue line).

    Actually they didn’t steal the photo, they made a link to the one displayed in our blog.

  2927. Biondo says:

    Ah ok, Sape… I didn’t realize that Oslo and Arzon were the same player.
    I’ll watch the first demo as soon as possible.

    In the meanwhile, for those who are interested in a better way to watch demos, here are some lines you can put in your q3config.cfg file (for q3config’s location read the FAQ).
    These configuration lines may be used to bind different speeds (stop the demo, low motion, fast forward, and so on…) to the numeric pad keys (thanks to ms//mLy!).

    Hi! Yesterday was the official birthday of smiley, so I can’t refrain from posting this.

    [Source: SMILEY: 29 YEARS OLD AND NEVER LOOKED HAPPIER! ]

    This is the original post where Scott Fahlman asserted the need for a humor-marker, back in 1982.

  2929. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Ok, next time I find the exact time and write it. You all right.
    And could you tell me some advice about my playing? Maybe the fort map is better for this purpose. The train is a very special map.
    I thought that Oslo and Arzon are the same player.

    http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=566&config=0

    He wasn’t so irritated. Just after it he was so angry, he wasn’t say anything, he wanted to kill me again and again, and he was killed by bots several times, because he wanted me everywhere.

  2930. Biondo says:

    At the moment I’ve seen only the second demo.

    1st — It’s very strange because in the demo I don’t see crates, money, other objects… but only walls. A strange bug, probably a different version of train map.

    2nd — I haven’t seen all demo, just about 7 minutes. If Oslo (he wasn’t Arzon, but Oslo) got irritated because you shot at a dyna left in the ground, he is stupid. Sape, the more your skills grow, the more you’ll get insults. That’s all. Nothing unethical here, just normal tactics.

    3rd — Next time, tell us the exact time to watch so we don’t watch the whole demo. Tomorrow I’ll say more on this.

  2931. Biondo says:

    Eh eh this is the famous scene. The only fun scene of Indiana Jones 🙂

  2933. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    A few days ago I fell back heavily. My performance is very vacillating. Biondo, and other LAMEs, if you have some free-time, please watch my demos and tell me your opinion.

    1f8217a0_dm_fort_0072.dm_68
    (It wasn’t bad, but I think my game was snippy.)

    And I have a question about this:

    1f8217a0_dm_train_0021.dm_68

    I killed Arzon in this game onve using dyna. It is a dyna-trick. He went mad because of it. 😉 This trick was ethical, or wasn’t? What is your opinion?

    Thanx the help!

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      I can’t see the demo, because there is no link.
      But i can say, that there are some dyn-tricks, especially throwing through walls.

  2934. Biondo says:

    OK Sape, you want to know what is “Good” and what is “Bad”, by the point of view of clan members.
    This is a big question that deserves a wide answer.

    Do you want a general debate about clan’s ethics (or better: fair play), or a “Decalogue” to be followed literally?
    I don’t think we need to enchain us in a rigorous “Table of Commandments”. First of all, because it’s difficult to follow rigid rules in all situations, and secondly because no Decalogue could include all the things that make of a player a “Good” player or a “Bad” one (oh yes, I should also add an “Ugly” one).

    Being a “good” player is not only a matter of following some behavioural rules, it’s more an overall inclination towards the aim of the game and the respect of opponents. It means being collaborative with newcomers, helpful to those who ask for informations, to be fun in comments but without overdoing, to be a good looser (“gg SG Player!”) and a gentle winner (“gg all”, “nice you too”), to praise nice players (“n1”) while encouraging the not-so-bad ones (“you’re a nice player now”)

    Being a “good” player probably extends outside matches. It means being collaborative with administrators so that they can correct server’s flaws or they can penalize players sistematically ruining the game to all others. It means helping mappers in testing their work and suggesting improvements. It means commenting/posting in SG forum to give back to the community your little contribution for game growth. If one has this possibility, it means to host a game server, to map and to model, or to write in a blog for the benefit of all (as we are doing here).

    But, since you asked, this is what I think about some particular behaviours (see also Biondo’s Inferno).

    Spawnkill
    I think spawnkill is bad when you camp near a spawn point just to kill every respawning player, or you place Molotov cocktails in every spawn points (as correctly Mope said). In BallerBude this is not frequent nowadays nor so productive, since spawn points work in a different way here. Occasional spawnkills are acceptable I think. I’m not able to find it now, but I remember to have read in SG forum a developer explaining that when you respawn you are not so vulnerable, there’s a short period of time when you can’t be hurt.

    Chatkill
    I consider chatkill an unkind, ungracious, impolite behaviour (even bots don’t shoot you when you are chatting). If someone chats, more of times is to add fun/humaneness to the game, he knows that it’s a risky action and still he chats. So he deserve respect. That said, I know that sometimes I chatkill… sometimes my bullets are faster than my brain 😉 Sorry, I have to be more careful in avoiding this.
    For my partial defense, I add that I agree with Greyman and with SmokeyBacon: The main problem is that the chat bubble and the buy bubble are the same [or not? I’m not totally sure of this … but playing with picmip 9 I only see a semi-transparent white square in any case]. If the bubbles were distinguishable, I’d know if I’m going to shoot someone who is buying a shotgun to frag me, or to someone who is chatting.
    And… When you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.

    Backshoot
    I think this is normal in every FPS. I consider it fair play. It’s up to you to develop tactics that protect your back!

    Monopolizing a server
    We should have the greater respect to individual players. They already have a sort of disadvantage just because of playing alone. Monopolizing a server just taking advantage of the number is a sort of bullying.

    Team play in DM server
    I don’t like this behaviour, and I always react reminding the “team” that we aren’t in TDM. Sometimes I get irritated and leave the game. Sure we *LAME*s don’t have to react working in team too.

    Cheaters and ex-cheaters
    You know what I think about them. Maybe they started cheating just to experiment, but next they continued cheating (90% of the times, also if they say the opposite). Cheaters can drive this game to death and it’s a good thing that administrators cooperate against them.
    I try to have the lowest possible contact with them, also because I don’t enjoy the game if one of them is playing.

    Really offensive/insulting people
    As I said “I don’t tolerate intolerance”. They ruin my game.

    Fun but a little offensive language
    Quite acceptable, if not desirable 🙂 A note for Sape: whenever I said “Aren’t you banned any more?” it wasn’t a way to offend, but a request of informations (with a dose of anger).

    Racists, sexists, fundamentalists
    It’s so strong in me the blame towards them, that when I meet them, I let my real life to enter the game. And I not always react with elegance 😉

    People calling vote insistently
    With “insistently” I mean 3, 4, …, 10 times in 2 minutes, or until they get the only map where they are sure to win. This is really annoying, I ask them to stop, but sometimes I leave the game irritated.

    Dyna maniacs
    Totally legal weapon, too cheap IMO but legal. Sometimes they ruin others game, but these are SG rules. Also, lucky enough, not all dynamitards are as insulting as TheUgly.

    Campers
    I agree with ReD here and here: “Occasional camping is an inevitable part of every FPS game” and “Camping is an individual player’s decision/strategy/advantage for surviving a given situation”“If I am camping & someone complains I say this: ‘You know where I am so it’s easy to get me now, right? Come & get me.’ Only noobs complain about strategy in deathmatch”, and with Lucky Bro too: “But still I like to play with them. Why? Because they make me think of new tactics of advance”.
    Camping near spawn points just to kill every respawning player is a different thing IMO, this is bad! (as i said above).

    That said… remember, this is a game, we can just “play to hate people”, not really hate them. <3<3<3

    • SAPE says:

      Thank you for your exhaustive answer Biondo. I don’t want a general debate about clan’s ethics, I just wonder your ideology. You wrote a lot of your opinion before it(Biondo’s inferno forexample), but I want to know the opinions of the others too.
      My other purpose with this was the “brainstorming”. I think we can learn lot thinks from eachother.

  2935. SAPE says:

    Thanx the comments.
    I wrote this post yesterday night, and it was so chaotic, because I drank one more whiskey than necessary (or two, or three more, I don’t remind 😉 )This explains the first few comments.

    I corrected it this morning.

    I think the chat kill problematic issue:
    1. You can’t distinguish between the chat and buying.
    2. In many cases, when no shot this time, the opponent had been shot when I turned away from him.
    3. I think, if somebody want to chating, search for shelter, or go spec., and don’t writing in the middle of an open area, or in a roof.

  2936. Mope says:

    lol, Jesse, ugly’s second nick is in Croatian, it’s ubojicadjecijeglica and it means “children-killer in the face” or smth like this 😮

  2937. Mope says:

    Chatkill is problematic, because sometimes you must answer urgently. Sometimes players killed in a fight ask you about your hp, so there’s no use in looking for a hideout, it’s not useful, if you’re not giving an immediate answer. So when I see a bubble, I try to keep myself from shooting.

    Spawnkill is not so problematic, cause the spawned player has a chance to react, he has one gun, and he’s respawned unexpectedly. You can respawn behind someone’s back, so you have an advance of a surprise effect. So, it’s both-way equal, so I don’t see a problem in killing spawned player, though I wouldn’t be proud about the fact. But! Throwing molotovs at spawn-points is rude and unethical, and cannot be tolerated.

  2938. JesseJames says:

    Hehe nice post, I taught last week about such a topic. I don’t like spawnkills and chatkills and if they do that I say LAME or chatkill and that’s it. Also I don’t like campers, if their is a person camping I will follow him and shoot him down. I don’t think I ever used rude language.
    I don’t like also Dynaplayers like The Ugly (alias obioafaiofjao or something 🙂 ) Argh if he is playing he frustrates me, with his language and his dyna :).

  2939. Mope says:

    I learned about those series even at academy! They are really classic and famous! Belgium has a great history of comics-art.

  2940. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    I understand you Sape, I’m gray too :).
    I am tolerant of others as long as they are with me.
    Biondo is one of the most tolerant player. That is why we are so fond of, among others.
    I “hate” cheaters. I do not know what is good in it.
    I think someone better, then it must be recognized, congratulations and move on. Fraud is not to win glory, but rather a weakness.

    My opinion:
    Chatkill: When you chat, hide. The bubble, I can not quickly decide whether to buy or just talk.
    Backshoot: Even Peacemaker / Awsome / Fuzzy is shot from behind. I’ll take care of my back but do not be offended if the back shot because I was not careful enough.

    p.s.: nice picture from Yin and Yang
    One question more: Jim Beam? 🙂

    • SAPE says:

      I totally agree with your opinion Biondo, and Greyman’s opinion too.
      Yep, the Jim Beam is my second favourite, my favourite is the Jack Daniel’s. 😉

  2941. Biondo says:

    I felt the presence of some alcohol in your post (I’m an expert) 😉

    Of course black and white don’t belong to this world.

    But I’ve been an administrator, and this influences my behaviour and feelings. I still think that we have no right to monopolize a server with the force of numbers. And that I “hate” cheaters.

  2942. SAPE says:

    OK. You all right. I read my post again… Huh… I drink much more Whiskey I think.
    So….
    I think, I don’t want to be “white, just “light gray”. We can monopolize a server. It is just 2 DM match with 30 fraglimit. it is up to half an hour maybe. I think it isn’t the wrong way. It isn’t the “dark side”.

    For example, BB Bart play BR in TN. Would we going to, or would we displaced him.

    Maybe the Whiskey is what brought me to the revolutionaries. 🙂

  2943. Biondo says:

    Sape, I don’t understand your question, really.
    Can you rephrase? Can you explain in other words?

    I can’t remember this incident (maybe I wasn’t playing), but if you mean that in the “Wild West” we should tolerate everything… I say I don’t tolerate:

    – cheaters
    – really offensive/insulting people
    – racists, sexists, religion fundamentalists

    These are also the rules of BB:

    Rule #1: No racism of any kind!
    Rule #2: No profanity or offensive language/names (in any language)
    Rule #3: Be a sport! (no insults, no taunts, no cheats, no exploits)

    In one sentence “I don’t tolerate intolerance”.

    I can tolerate dyna-men, chat-killers, an so on. Still I must have the freedom to criticize them and to leave the game if I don’t enjoy it.

    If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

    [Karl Popper]

    But this is irrelevant, since we are not administrators, we can’t ban anybody.

    [Sorry for many edits to this comment]

  2944. JesseJames says:

    Haha great that so many people knows the Belgians comics, great.
    Tomorrow I will write some responses. 🙂

  2945. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Zapa!

  2946. ZaPaTa says:

    Keep it up Biondo, it will come eventually 😀

  2947. ZaPaTa says:

    Ha, nice to find some reaction here, lots of things to answer.
    Biondo, the font you find here: http://www.dafont.com/masked-marvel.font
    I searched a long time, way back, for nice comic fonts, I often have to use. the masked marvel comes in a nice variety and has a nice spacing between characters (rare!) :D.
    Yes, Giraud and Moebius are the same, see wiki here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Giraud
    probably one of my favorite artists… his work changed a lot, I realy liked his rough and brutal way of almost sketching things.

    Yes @Spi, it influenced me off course too, reading a lot of comics made me draw more and imitate them. Finally I did studies for illustration. You name some great comics there.
    I always find it curious how these things are so well known in the world, while in Belgium most people don’t know them 😀

    • ZaPaTa says:

      @spi, tuniques bleus is indeed a nice series too. They tell the adventure of two soldiers in civil war (though the series was originally settled in the war against Indians). Fun thing about this series is, that the editors always ad an historical sketch by from different collection (so not drawn by the illustrator of the series).
      I uploaded a very nice one. copy paste the URL to get it in its real size…

      stromannen

      @Biondo, strangely enough, for comics about the Far West you should take a look in French and Dutch comics, not american…I don’t know about translated editions of these works, but maybe they do exist.

  2948. @spi says:

    i love comix, i grow up with this culture !
    belgium/french comic artists influenze my live, and they are the best … never reached ! i laught so much about franquins gaston lagaffe (my persononal favorite, i also love masu, sipro and fantasio) i was fascinated by herges tintin or this anti heroe john difool designed by giroud.
    Les Tuniques Bleues german title is “die blauen boys” is also a funny series located in the old western world

  2949. Biondo says:

    I’ve been away for the whole day, and it’s a nice surprise to see that this site is so productive (Rems asking for help in his first post … I need time and more informations to try an answer, Zapata posting comics, Mope with his scary story about the poor girl at Barcelona Aquarium).

    Zapata, I know that you’re a comics expert (probably you scanned the images by yourself??), unfortunately I’m not.

    I bought some Tex albums — http://www.sergiobonellieditore.it/auto/cpers_index?pers=tex — one month ago just to see if I could like them. Tex is a western classic in Italy, but I don’t like it (though the graphics are drawn from different artists and some of them are good).
    Giraud, also known as Moebius, right?, seems to have drawn much better and more modern western, I’ll search if I can find them here.

    Just the cover for “Dust” is remarkable enough (sort of a masterpiece).

    Nice your joke, and your idea to ask us to insert some text. Very nice! I’m too tired tonight but maybe tomorrow…

    Just a curiosity: which font did you use for text?

  2950. Biondo says:

    Fun fact, initials of Blueberry are BB…recognize them? 😉

  2952. SAPE says:

    Nice page Zap!! 😀
    I hope You will make much more writing on the site. Your style give new color for the side.

    Some text to the BBex4 picture:
    Teacher: SG 1.1b4 does not work?? This is not an excuse! Have you asked anybody?? Have you asked anyone to help??
    The cowboy in brown suit : Non. Non madame. Je suis désolé.

  2953. ZaPaTa says:

    depends on the ping of us all I think, we could give it a try in advance

  2954. SAPE says:

    Or Lanukka? What do you think? It is also an option.

  2955. ZaPaTa says:

    Tnx Biondo. I use Google Chrome after being tired of some down-time with Firefox (updates of my add-ons made my PC very slow for surfing). I’m very happy with chrome, although it don’t come with that much add-ons.

    accidentally, I was thinking of making the same topic, but to give a little hint for those who use Chrome.
    If you are filling in a field, like this, and writing English, Chrome underlines words that are wrong spelled. While pushing Right Mouse button on an underlined word, choosing ‘Language: English’, you get a check by Chrome to see if that word is right spelled in English. If the word is still underlined, click again right, and see correct English options. In a few seconds, you clear a text from typing errors like you would use Word or any other text-editor.

  2956. Mope says:

    We all exist in a multilingual world, so using online translators must be easy as possible. I recommend using translating addons for firefox, like QuickTranslator or babelfish, which enable translation from any language just in one or 2 clicks. Myself, as mainly using and switching equally between English, Hebrew and Russian I always have one of those addons installed on my browser. If I need more deep and detailed dictionary, than that one, provided by Google, I always have some installed as search engines in upper right corner, where’s google search field situated.

    I’ll never forget the epic scene I witnessed at Barcelona Aquarium cashier desk, where was a big Catalonian family, and they asked me something, I answered them, that I only speak English, so they all looked at young girl, who was supposed to know English, but suddenly she couldn’t speak a word, so her mother got really angry, shouted and slapped her! At this point I was really disappointed, that I don’t know Spanish, so I could avoid this conflict. And I told you this story just to explain, how important the language knowledge is!

  2957. JesseJames says:

    Indeed a great help for each of us 🙂

  2958. SAPE says:

    Biondo, these can help a lot. Thanx.

  2959. ZaPaTa says:

    I agree, we just play with all the maps that comes up with, when there are others. Don’t like showing off my muscles since I have none (None!).

  2960. JesseJames says:

    Ok tnx to all that joined today. Sorry that i couldn’t joined this evening.
    Nice score Sape and Jippi :). How was it with the TDM?

    Oh indeed their is a problem with the voting in a public server. Have nobody react on Nones ‘why’? Indeed not in lamestyle.
    If their is nobody in TN you can vote for the map, and otherwise we play in BB like everyone said here. That is probably the best solution.

  2961. Biondo says:

    Mope we posted together (in the same moment, and I didn’t read your post) 😀

    OK. Plan A: TN. Plan B: BB.

  2962. Biondo says:

    What I forgot to say is that Tijuana was mapped by SDE-Lon (I suppose mainly for BR) and we voted repeatedly against SDE-Nones. I don’t want to show my muscles, just because I have 8 other players by my side. That’s the face of clans I’ve always hated.

    TN will be used more and more (and for a small part this is also our merit, because we talked of it), for DM, BR and duel.

    Sape, DM in Baller is OK I think. At 20:30/21:30 there are not so many players there.

    TDM in Nargajunas is also good. Nothing against it (apart form being a lone wolf 😉 ).

  2963. Mope says:

    After discussing this case with Biondo on Jabber, I want to propose the following: We can play whatever map comes randomly, just map after map, no matter the gametype.
    Or we can switch back to BallerBude, playing regular maps there. Oh, I see, Sape already proposed it. I think it can be plan B, if there are players at TN.

  2964. Biondo says:

    I think we met something that we didn’t expect to meet, tonight. A player in TN that was there before us, that didn’t know anything about our Thursdays, that was playing BR, and that wasn’t happy at all to change map/gametype 🙂

    Very unusual, and we hadn’t a fast reaction, we didn’t know what to do and we went on with our program (well, I left the game). But sure it’s a problem… TN will be more and more used, for DM, but also for BR and duel.

    Not easy to have a private server that is also fast (low ping).

    I have nothing to suggest.

  2965. Mope says:

    Nice post, Sape, you are the true clan’s armorer!

  2966. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    The best solution is a password protected private game server. Or we would play a server where the DM is only possible. And just “Call vote” when the current game is finished. Any other idea?

  2967. Biondo says:

    DM and TDM scores:

  2968. Biondo says:

    Sorry, I feel there is something wrong in the overall design of these clan deathmatches. We have no right to monopolize a server for our purposes. I don’t want to be the one that calls a vote to change from BR to TD, and from one map to a different one just because *LAME* clan has to play his weekly DM.

    The poor Nones asked “Why?” and nobody answered. Not fair, not in Lame style. Yes, I know that I called vote (while trying to explain to Nones what was happening), this is what you asked me to do, to manage these Thursdays… but I feel this as a total injustice.

    No more clan’s Thursdays for me.

    Otherwise, we can decide that if nobody is playing when we join TN, we play… if there is somebody we don’t. I think that a clan should be something different, a place where nobody loose and everybody wins something, also whose that don’t belong to that clan.

  2969. Biondo says:

    I vote for Tijuana and Station.

  2970. JesseJames says:

    Have fun. ZaPaTa and I will not make it tonight, have to celebrate a birthday…I’m sorry, it’s not a good time not to join the weekly DM, but we have to. Next time!
    @ Mope: GL with the damn capitalists. Make some money!!!

  2971. SAPE says:

    Moped if you are afraid of the little cat, I borrowed a shotgun from my grandfather’s heritage. 😉

    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/old-west/western-firearms/the-shotguns/

    You just need to come with it to Hungary. We would drink some Unicum or Whiskey. 🙂

  2972. Wiskey says:

    Also here Tijuana and Ghost Town.

  2973. JesseJames says:

    @Wiskey their is a NOW a new topic about it 😉

  2974. JesseJames says:

    Tijuana, and station is also good for me 🙂

  2975. SAPE says:

    Thanx Biondo! It would be great! 🙂
    I have no iPhone, but wallpapers are fit to my phone. (iPhone3 wallpapers. 320×480). Vertical, the width is 320.
    You can make great pictures, you decide about the design 🙂

  2976. SAPE says:

    Howdy! I will be there. Maps: Tijuana, Station

  2977. Mope says:

    Sorry, can’t make it today again, stuck at work. Damn capitalists. 😡

  2978. ZaPaTa says:

    Yep, those days 🙂

  2979. Wiskey says:

    I ask quickly when we have next clan war? Here is no anything from it. And what clock time?

  2980. Mope says:

    I know this trick, Biondo. What I discovered lately is that you can get on top of the cabin (that with the dynamite inside, and fire underneath the floor 😆 ).

    • Biondo says:

      Eh eh. I recently discovered that “you can get there”… but you have few seconds of life there, because you are too exposed. That “you can fire underneath the floor” is nothing strange, because the floor is a wooden one.

  2981. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Biondo, could you make a LAME Clan mobile wallpaper? You can find the necessary information on the size and proportions easily, if you look at an iPhone wallpaper.
    It could follow the design of the website with “LAME Clan” logo, the boarding backgrounds, and with a peacemaker, for example.

    • Biondo says:

      Yes Sape, of course I can. Not today though. I don’t have an iPhone, but searching Internet i found these display specs:

      – iPhone 3: 320×480 px @ 163 ppi
      – iPhone 4: 640×480 px @ 326 ppi

      Is this correct? Do you want iPhone 3 or iPhone 4 wallpaper?. Vertical or horizontal? With your name too? 😉

  2982. Mope says:

    Get killed and respawn on the opposite side?

  2983. JippiJaYeah says:

    Jump over the advance stone in the near of the train rails.

  2984. JesseJames says:

    Wow very nice smileys that you made. Great work it’s more western than before.
    Can it be that I yesterday can’t react on this page?

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, Jesse, there was a problem. Mope told me that he wasn’t able to comment. Now it’s OK.

  2985. JesseJames says:

    Haha great post mope! 🙂 I’am not afraid of anything, i’am Jesse James :D, but you have a point this map is so scarry. I have on this map more than 25 suicides because i jumped of the trainrails 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      There’s no need to follow the train rails to reach the opposite side of the canyon (exposing yourself to opponent fire). No, I’m not talking about the tree trunk, there is one more, much faster. Who of you knows which one?

  2986. ZaPaTa says:

    Hehe, I will try it Biondo, lets see with what I will come up with soon!

  2987. Mope says:

    8) 😛 love those smilies, although I use them seldomly, got used to ( and ), sometimes )) and ((.
    You say they are redesigned icons. So who’s responsible for their western look? You are?

  2988. Biondo says:

    😀 This is so fun Mope! I’m hypnotized and I can’t stop watching it (not sure I’ll manage to go to work today). Too bad there is no sound.

    Indeed Coyote is full of scary places. The canyon where bots love to commit suicide, the rope in the abyss where you are always tempted to collect the moneys and invariably fall down, the broken coach with rattlesnake…

    But the scariest place in SG is the tunnel in San Cuchillo: playing with picmip 9, when you respawn there you can’t see anything 😯

  2989. ZaPaTa says:

    Ah, that big one fits nice on my other screen. I was thinking, would it make sense to make an info-graphic, starting from your situation in – in stead of, like here, starting from the gun. Example: my situation: My enemy is moving very hard, he’s on a close range. What weapon to use? Answer:
    Shotgun, knife, maybe molotov.

    Might be a nice expansion

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, the main defect about my drawing is it’s coldness … just data without a context. But this is exactly what you need to make a data-rich infographic: data and numbers. I think it would be impossible to draw an infographic with all usage situations for the different weapons. For this purpose is better to write more conversational pages, as those we have here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/smokinguns/weapons/

      Nevertheless, I’ll keep in mind your idea and your example, maybe some day I can draw something …

  2990. ZaPaTa says:

    I updated the pages ‘about us’ and others. I deleted the page Allied, since I think it has no use. we’re not really allied, that page dates back from a funwar we did when LAME just started. Off course we can make friends and allies, but I think LAME should just be a nice clan to all other clans…We can discuss this, np.

    • Biondo says:

      Ah OK, Zapa. I suppose you did it in the days of “my protest”. Only, you forgot to remove the voice from menu.
      For the future: better to inform all members of the change (via a private post).

      So I delete “Members” page again. It’s good to know that nobody deleted it inadvertently.

  2991. JesseJames says:

    I saw it, they have a new site?

  2992. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Biondo the site of the last one was wrong I think, they gave us the wrong site.

  2993. JesseJames says:

    And I will help with the page of Jesse James,… I have now a bit of knowledge about the Wild West.

    • ZaPaTa says:

      Concerning personal interest, this is not about SG, but since you all grow servers in your backyard…anyone having an experience with distant servers who drops out?
      I used to be a member of a forum for years now. The forum was hosted on a Suddenlaunch server (they had three servers…) but the site is down since a couple of weeks. Together with the mods, I learned that two of the three servers are not anymore online. One of them hosted the forum.
      The mods are desperate since they can’t acces any file that was on the server (the forum was a great resource for students, we also hosted several papers made by students, is had a lot of information that was unique on the WWW.) now we fear this might be all gone.
      Anyone has an idea if it is possible to regain acces to our files, or get the old site up and running again on another server? I fear not, but I promised I would ask some pro’s 🙂
      thanks in advance

      • Biondo says:

        Sorry, I have no idea Zapa (apart from writing to Suddenlaunch administrators).
        Probably, you can still find some pages in Google (if you are searching for something in particular), clicking the link “Cached” in results (if the pages were public). But this is of little help I suppose.

  2994. Biondo says:

    I remade it, but I’m not sure it is as in it’s last version. I got it from the old site http://sg-lame.yolasite.com/ (and updated clan names).

  2995. Biondo says:

    You have a monster monitor, Jippi! 😀

    Thank you. I’ll see what I can do.

  2996. JippiJaYeah says:

    I loved that design. Big great job! 🙂

  2997. wuhu 🙂

    although i am still wondering what went wrong(?).

    nice to hear good news,
    cya all ingame,

    best regards,

    Magician

    • Biondo says:

      🙂 Magician, read my comment, it says all.
      Thanks to you, but there is nothing to be investigated.

  2998. Biondo says:

    This is a private page so I can write this without offence …
    if I can help in English translations, count of me (though my English is so bad!).

  2999. Biondo says:

    OldWest characters lives…

    I think it’s a good idea, it could make the site more visible also to visitors that don’t already play Smokin’Guns (and that in this way can start playing SG) and make the site more rich and informative for all.
    Already Sape’s pages about weapons attract many visitors from Google and other search engines (you can see this in the site statistics: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats).

    And moreover, they’ll be interesting 🙂

    Nice Greyman, go on!

  3000. Mope says:

    Very nice infographics, Biondo, especially I like the icons.
    One comment: you’ve decided to partly ignore the range factor, which is very useful, IMHO.

    • Biondo says:

      thank you all, thanks Mope.

      There has been some work on icons (and many changes). But the difficult part of the work is getting a lot of information in a not-so-big space and make it readable. The spacing among text and icons still need some work, but I’m tired of this. Actually I’ve drawn this graphic some months ago, but it was so bad that you couldn’t decipher what is written [just for graphic designers here, the first version of this is here (10MB, be advised): http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/wallpaper1440x900-2.png].

      No, I didn’t ignore range… I’ve just put in a graphic display the informations you find in SG manual. The only thing I changed is that I assigned a FAST reload to Sawed-Off, while SG manual declares a SLOW one (obviously a mistake).

      But for some weapons you do have range factor. Not for all, and I’m not able to determine it. I just re-designed an information written by someone else.

      My intent was also to design a usable wallpaper. If you have a 1440×900 desktop, and if you find it usable …

      • JippiJaYeah says:

        >> if you have a 1440×900 desktop, and if you find it usable …
        Pls. for 2560 x 1600 too. :=)

  3001. ZaPaTa says:

    Excellent to add on the Old-West pages.
    But, small remark, does Zapata count as an Old-West story?

  3002. Mope says:

    Very good idea, Greyman! I must admit mine complete lack of education at this matter.

  3003. ZaPaTa says:

    Added, I also used a *LAME* avatar. Bit basic but works well I think with it’s distinctive colors. Although I din’t post that much so far on the SG.net board…Red did make a post about LAME-clan recruiting, so thanks very much RedNeckerson!

    Lame signature Zapata

  3004. JesseJames says:

    Great idea, go for it. The story of Jesse James is a great story :). I’am sure that it will be a nice piece.

  3005. JesseJames says:

    Nice page biondo, so the new players can see what weapon is good for witch map.

    • Biondo says:

      This was my intent, Jesse. I’m always trying to promote Smokin’ Guns, BallerBude and *LAME* clan, doesn’t matter in which order. And I think the whole clan has my same feelings.

      The infographic is not enough for a newcomer probably, it’s just numbers. But we have some other pages about how to use SG weapons that can help them.

  3006. GREYMAN says:

    Hi guys!
    How about it, if I would write a few articles such as characters old wild west.( Wild Bill Hickok, Jesse James, Doc H., etc.)
    I’ve been thinking about it, I collected material is added.
    We make with SAPE together. What do you think? Are you sure?

  3007. Biondo says:

    I’m thinking and thinking, but I can’t find an answer 😡
    I suppose you have to use more strategy than usual with them, but you are lucky if this works.

    Generally speaking, a good ping is only one of the factors determining a good player. I don’t think we should give to it too much importance.

  3008. SAPE says:

    Cool assembly!
    There is a question: what can we do against “low ping warriors” ?
    What is your experience, what weapon should be used against them. (Or should open a separate page on this issue?)

  3009. JesseJames says:

    hmmm I will test it out Biondo.

  3010. Biondo says:

    😀 eh eh, Sape, nice find.

  3011. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I see your avatar, and I think I found your belt buckle:

    http://www.cavenders.com/product.asp?cat=1&dept_id=5003&pf_id=37072B

    🙂

  3012. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice to read you again, Biondo. And nice to see you still like LAMEmembers 🙂
    About Rems…yeah…euh…about that…it’s probably not the right page but I got the impression we all feel the same about him…

  3013. Biondo says:

    This means Tux server won.

    Thanks to all voters.
    I’ll coordinate with @spi for migration.

  3014. ZaPaTa says:

    True wiskey, I do believe it is good for the spirit too.

    @SAPE, I’m also in favor for the straight talk. I’ll try harder keeping up with the posts. the best.

  3015. Biondo says:

    OK, I feel that I have to say something now.

    No, we will not wait for Rems, because he never wrote a single word here. I already feel as I re-joined the clan, so don’t wait for Rems.

    Still I call Rems for the last time: Rems, please vote… vote agaist, but vote. Use Google Translate, ask a friend to translate for you, but please REMSLETRUAND vote!

    @Zapata, I love you, I know you are not and never was against Biondo. I never doubt of this. I just acted under an impulse (I already admitted that this is my bad character, and “one glass more”. Nobody is perfect 😉 ).

    @Jesse, it was written that you are responsible for recruitment. This makes a leader of you. And a leader should be present. I have nothing against you, but… I hope this incident (for which I still apologize) have made some things more clear.

    About clan deathmatches: I’ll be there, but sometimes it’s difficult to play for me in a defined moment, so when I’ll be absent please excuse me.

    About TDM: nice idea, but I don’t see them only as a way to get a better score (we already have BB stats, if we want to compare our skills). I’d like to play with you totally relaxed, as a way to have fun and exchange our experiences about SG.

    @Jippi, you’ll have Italian blood to drink again soon 🙂 You were right Jippi it was not fair to leave immediately.

    @sape and greyman, you are so important for this clan as I am.

    @Wiskey… please answer to my email 🙂

    And finally @Mope: never left you… we meet in Jabber daily, and it’s nice. Today I’m over you in BB stats, yesterday you was. It’s a close combat.

    To all of you: thank you for having given me a second chance. Really.

    [Translations here: http://translate.google.it/%5D

  3016. SAPE says:

    Do we have to wait for Rems? It will be long, very long….. 😉
    I think the clan vote solidly.

  3017. Wiskey says:

    Wait we that Rems vote or is polls now closed? Is Rems only who aren’t voted?

  3018. JesseJames says:

    Hehe now it works 🙂
    Tnx Biondo to change it 🙂 Only Rems did not vote I think.

  3019. Wiskey says:

    If we want keep clan alive, maybe our have to play sometimes on Nargajunas. I think that members keep in clan if we play sometimes also in teams, not all vs all, like bb. Like Sape or Jesse says, TDM is funny and it also give better spirit, when you can protect your teammate, or help he to kill opponent. What other members think for that?

  3020. ZaPaTa says:

    SAPE, be proud. This makes your posts way more interesting than any other…because is comes from the heart (makes me feel mellow :D) and because you live the Western.
    About you leaving the clan, I had that feeling and fear for the whole clan.That why I asked last days to almost anyone about their feeling on the LAME membership. When I read all comments I have a bit the feeling members seems to think I was against initiative by Biondo, because I would be the ‘leader’. Sorry if I make it sound a little bit childish here. But if this feeling is rooted in the fact I didn’t post comments on initiatives, it was because I simply agree, not because I was sitting being grumpy somewhere in the corner because Biondo was taking leadership…I’m not a leader, so plz, let none ever push me in that direction.

    BTW, I will try to make it a habbit to be online on Jabber while playing SG, so If one would like a chat, I’ll be there too.

    • SAPE says:

      Thanx Zap. I stay. And every member stay too. We must stay here, because this clan is our home in the world of SG.
      Perhaps you are not a leader, but you and Jesse found this clan. Nobody doubted it. Be proud of it. To protect and enhance our common interest, common tasks, all of us. Perhaps the critics were a bit hard, but the straight talk is always better. And I like to expect this from you too. Make criticism, if you don’t agree with something!
      Please, of you have some free-time, posting the pages. Do not think about big things, but at least paste a smiley, if you think, it is good page. Believe me, it is important for the creator.
      Feel the LAME SPIRIT! I feel it! 🙂

  3021. JesseJames says:

    Why I can’t click on Yes? That is strange 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Jesse, I suppose that Zapata voted from the same PC (or with the same IP), so it would be like voting 2 times.
      Doesn’t matter we take your vote as a “Yes” 🙂

      I changed the way that polls work. Try now, you should be able to vote now.

      Thank you all.

  3022. JesseJames says:

    Welcome back!!! Yehaaa lets go (I hear the sound of Enio Morrecone in my ears , the lonely comboy came back in town:) )

  3023. GREYMAN says:

    Welcome back!! 🙂

  3024. JippiJaYeah says:

    The (north) iatlien blood are excuse. 🙂

  3025. ZaPaTa says:

    SAPE, sorry for the delay. I’m planning of moving out so I wasn’t online last days. You’re going a bit fast. What mistake are we talking about. I’m willing to change things. Are we talking about my arguments concerning the need of posting new topics? Or about the TDM- training you propose.
    Concerning the site: I do believe for LAME-members that this is a crucial tool. For visitors it is always nice to read something new. But – for me, personal opinion, it isn’t required for a LAMEmember to add a new topic. But offcourse, you and all the rest who likes to, is free to post ALL his ideas. And I like the Old West-pages you wrote. Is your concern also about ‘not leaving’ comments like ‘nice article SAPE’ as a reaction on your articles, or are we just speaking about making new topics?

    Concerning the TDM-training after 22:00. Personaly, I try to avoid being online behind my computer after 22:00…(see, I try :D) because I don’t have a good sleep when I do so. So, no SG anyway after 22 for me. Personal, again. You’re all free to train. We need the training, no doubt. But here I did changed my mind. Not each TDM-game should be for competition since I’ve seen we all need practice. But , after practice comes competition so I still like the fact we add some TDM-games on our weekly clanwar!

    Hope you understand me here, if you like we can arrange a Jabber-meeting tomorrow evening to clear things out; Just let me know. All the best,
    Zap

    • SAPE says:

      Zap. I like to clear things out too.
      I try to going step by step.
      Pages:
      I think, if a clan member make a page, I get to know him better, I can look into the world of thought. In this context, I guess I made a mistake. I took myself off. I’m obsessed with westerns. In the real life, I wear western boots ,cowboy hats, and western belt with buckle. (I have a civil war cap too, I think you like it 🙂 (of course: confederation)) I know lots of things about wild west, so a can make same page.But not everyone is the same like me
      Comments:
      Yes, I like the comments. It is important to me, because this I know that you have read this at all. And I wait for suggestions too about new themes. (A smiley is enough.)
      TDM training:
      I think the free training would be the best choice. You all right.
      I try too clear things out. If you have any question, Please write to me.
      And finally, I didn’t mean to offend you, but I blame you and Jesse for Biondo’s going. Probably, if he didn’t decide to come back, I would have left the clan sooner or later… I’m pretty hot-headed, I did not want to be unfair to you. I am sorry.

      SAPE

  3026. ZaPaTa says:

    Off course. Enough said.

  3027. SAPE says:

    Welcome back, Biondo!
    🙂

  3028. JesseJames says:

    Wow what a collection, 30-40 knifes is impressive.

  3029. Mope says:

    Sape… wow! Planning your own mini-revolution? Surely, you’re well-prepared for post-nuclear war harsh world. Do you have also a faithful dog partner, and a motorcycle? Thanx for informative and interesting post.

  3030. SAPE says:

    Howdy. I think @spi other server would be the best choice.

  3031. SAPE says:

    Jesse, there’s a shotgun, two old single-shot pistol, my own revolver, two swords, a World War II bayonet and 30-40 types of knives.

  3032. JesseJames says:

    How many weapons you have in your home? Have you every gun of SG in real? 🙂 BTW:Nice colt 🙂

  3033. JesseJames says:

    @SAPE he said to me that he don’t understand what your point is. But he will write something if he have time :). Such a busy guy you know 😉

    • SAPE says:

      Howdy!
      I try to explain more clearly expressed.
      I do not agree with the Zap’s arguments. In fact, I think that there is a situation where no explanations to be constructed , should not be offended, but to admit that I made a mistake, so He would be said: I made mistake and I will change it.
      I don’t like the way Zap responded to the situation.

  3034. JesseJames says:

    wow, tnx to @spi for me it’s ok to imigrate the site to their.
    and great story 🙂

  3035. bah, i don’t think so. well, i don’t know you that well, but i know you’re always friendly + i always saw you’re doing a good job for the team and were a perfect match for them. maybe you like to give me an explanation a little more detailed – if you like to; i am curious all the time 🙂

  3036. SAPE says:

    Thanks for the appreciative words of praise. 🙂
    Zap, I do not plan to change the topic name.

  3037. SAPE says:

    Zap, why not react? Do not have time or you agree with what I wrote?

  3038. Biondo says:

    Just because of my bad character, Magician. I’m a lone wolf.

  3039. why did biondo leave 😕

    he was doing a great job and seemed to fit your team 🙁

  3040. Biondo says:

    Wiskey, in your settings (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/user-edit.php?user_id=9) you already have notifications ON (see at the end of page).

    Notifications for you are sent to this email address: jonihie [at] hotmail [dot] com

    If this address is wrong you can change it in that same page.

    cu

  3041. Wiskey says:

    I don’t know is this anymore important but I agree migration.

    Anyone knows how I can get email notification for new messages so I can read them for immediately?

  3042. Wiskey says:

    Biondo, I had funny to play with your. I am sorry that you left our clan.

  3043. JesseJames says:

    Ok Wiskey I see you their 🙂

  3044. Wiskey says:

    I am sorry but i forget that time. I put next clan war for my cellphone so it can tell me that

  3045. Biondo says:

    Yes, it is, Jesse.

    I want to tell you the whole story…

    I’ve tested the server (it’s called Tux. Tux is the mascot of Linux operating system). I’ve tested it because @spi desired a Ballerbude’s blog (I was still administrator, it was december 2010, I think) and asked me which CMS (= Content management System, the software to use to make a blog) we should use (he knows that this is my every day job). I told him literally:

    “I know Drupal, I hate Plone, I love WordPress”. WordPress was chosen by me and @spi. After 1 day I had a theme (= template, = skin) ready, the same WP theme you are using in Lame’s site.

    Next day, TheDoctor jumped in. He was really irritated because we had chosen a software without consulting him. He found that WordPress doesn’t respect the privacy because of “Gravatars” (In WordPress world, Gravatars are the icons of people who post comments. In Lame site they are disabled, for benefit of your privacy). He was right, Gravatars send your email to a central server without requesting your approval.

    The site never born. And this is one (just one! I don’t want to accuse TheDoctor, I was the main culprit, with my bad character — particularly when I drink one more glass of wine) of the reasons why I left baller.

    I still think WordPress is a great software, but it has some weak points, one is privacy respect. Drupal rules, it uses no trick. But it’s more difficult to use.

    This is the story.

    The site was fast as SG server in Ballerbude, or BallerBude XLRstats pages (fast).

  3046. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Biondo, and is his server fast?

  3047. JesseJames says:

    Nice picture, and yes all go to ballerbude 🙂

  3048. JesseJames says:

    I like new pages at the site, and I appreciate it very much , but I have not the skills to make a funny/ interesting page.
    But you have a point that visitors will see that the clan is living and that it is not a dead clan.
    How can we improve that
    – first much playing ( out of they eye is out of the heart(is a dutch expression)
    – second: a good looking site

  3049. JesseJames says:

    Indeed the wrong smiley :(.
    Sorry for the misunderstandings. Normally I typed this smiley 🙁 never on this server, it is the first I think and I hope the last.

  3050. JesseJames says:

    Indeed we are not a big clan, but I thought we are closer than other clans. But everything is going very fast, and we (ZaPaTa and I) never thought that. About responsibility, I never tought that running a clan take so much time, and knowledge. I need time to learn and take this responsibility.

    We started the clan to have fun, and we had a lot of fun in the clanwars or BB. Tnx to all.
    Next week we take a new start, a new clanwar…
    see you in game and on this site.

  3051. Biondo says:

    @spi made another offer: to host the site, but in a different server. Not the one that hosts BallerBude but another still in his working place.
    I had to report this to your attention.

  3052. ZaPaTa says:

    Ah, OK…I feel you there.
    Well, a smaller thing I like to ad. This site was originated just to promote the clan and the game. Now it is a medium you and I and other members take serious. Some of us. It is an important tool now to communicate. But! don’t take it too heavy upon you, if you write another nice piece. We, and the clan are in the first place a SG-clan, so our first purpose is to be IN-game. Not to have a site-contest, or a writing-contest. I believe posting comments and text are free here and are not required. It’s fun off course, but in the first place we need to PLAY the game, never lose that focus. (the only thing that is required, you see.)
    Hope that gives you some comfort here.

    • SAPE says:

      Zap, look at my activity, and number of kills in BB stat and the number of my posts and pages here. I have a work, a doughter, a family too. I haven’t got too many freetime. The difference is in approching. Your arguments are little bit weak.
      Yes, the sight is promote the clan, but I think the visitors want to read new pages. And if you want some newness, somebody will have to make it, I think.
      Anyway, I suggested that practice more TDM in freetime, and somebody said: But SAPE, you mean to use Nargajunas after 22 just to practice? I think we should practice together and score points and make it official, all the same time!

  3053. JippiJaYeah says:

    I understand Biondo irritation about our Lame clan, but it confused me his fast decision to leave, and i think that is not the right way.

    Anyway, we are not a such big lame clan, only (now) 8 members, so this clan need time to grow up.

  3054. ZaPaTa says:

    I propose we dedicated this page to Biondo, and leave the topic name as it is.

  3055. ZaPaTa says:

    Ok, I won’t stop you of leaving. So far we had fun and things got serious very fast. No doubt there’s always one person who carries most. In our case Biondo lifted the load and so the clan,
    with a very special site, his own education, his experience, his humor…You’re free to go off course, no hard feelings there.

    But no doubt this is news of the worst kind for the clan. Maybe not the founder (whatever that imply) , yet definitively the leader of the clan. I propose we take some time to discuss the dings we all like to rearrange now.
    Where is the rest of you LAME’s standing with LAME?

  3056. ZaPaTa says:

    @ SAPE: “my motivation is not on top”…How u mean? How can you tell, what signs did I made according to you…I’m not aware of that.

    With Biondo leaving, now seems the time to make some new decisions. I read things that need to change in order to keep us growing/moving; I’m not planning to give LAME up now, but where do you stand (you all, not SAPE) with LAME now Biondo left us?
    Also, some misunderstanding. I founded the clan, i already said that, more for fun. I never mend to be a leader and definitively not as a catalyst for change in the Clan. If I didn’t react on the boards, it was because I simply agree. I’m not that much of a chatter.
    But again: where to go. Do we make a board for things we would like to change? I propose we discuss a little how we, and why, we like changing things.
    Also, anyone sharing Biondo’s irritation and feeling to leave? (no offence Biondo, just a fact.)

    • SAPE says:

      Zap, it means that, you know, my english is not too good. I expend lots of time and energy to write a page. And if you public a page and there is just unconcern (except some members who post regularly), you motivation go lower and lower… 🙁

  3057. Biondo says:

    So, this is the situation.

    I got irritated –more and more– because Lame’s founders were totally absent lately. I called them to a greater sense of responsibility, but got no answer. Yes I know, you all have a real life, but maybe you could have played 10 minutes less, and commented here 10 minutes more.

    Sometimes it happens to me to make snap decisions prompted by irritation. It also happened when I was administrator in BallerBude, and it will happen again. This is one of my character defects. Probably I’m not an Old Fox, but a Lone Wolf.

    I’m sorry if I’ve personally hurt somebody… this wasn’t my intention.
    Now the game is over, and I won’t recede from my decision.

    Should somebody ask you why I left the clan, you can simply answer that I was tired.

    I’ll try to help you keeping this site administration in your hands. Maybe you’ll better choose one person among the clan that will have the role of site maintainer, so that I can instruct him (if needed) and he can help you when you’ll need help.

    For now, I won’t delete my administrative account here, so I can help you in site migration. I’ll try to not interfere with your activity in the site, writing only about technical problems. If you feel you can manage the site migration without me, you can delete my account immediately without asking.

    I will occasionally be in Jabber (probably talking with Mope after dinner), or you’ll find me in game and at my email address (sg.biondo [at] gmail [dot] com).

    Staying with you was a nice and fun experience. I’ll miss it and I’ll miss you!

  3058. JippiJaYeah says:

    Where’s the “I don’t like button”? 🙁

  3059. SAPE says:

    Jesse, I think you miss the type of smilei 🙁

  3060. JesseJames says:

    Ok biondo you left officialy our memberpage 🙁

  3061. JesseJames says:

    No problem @spi. we were only with 4 so not a clanwar 🙂

  3062. Biondo says:

    I think tomorrow I’ll able to write something more.
    For now I can say that I ended my work here. I have nothing more to say here. I’ll play as Biondo. See you in game, Jesse.

  3063. JesseJames says:

    OK Biondo I ‘am again shocked this evening. A little bit explanation is welcome Biondo :).
    We had a great time together, and I like your style (you know that), you are always ready for the clan, and I appreciate that. You was the leader of the clan, without you was their now no LAMEclan anymore I think.

    Maybe you change of mind in a few weeks/months
    you are always welcome in on the site/ BB/SG, Jabber,…
    Are you playing SG in the future or you stops for the full 100%?
    edit: Oh i see your post, I will see you their?

  3064. Biondo says:

    I got the mail and answered 😀

    I’ll be there as Biondo!

  3065. Biondo says:

    lol 😀

    Sape, I didn’t ask before, because it’s a delicate matter…

    Greyman, I here your voice. It’s nice and strong. Thank you. No, I will not change my decision.

    Nice to have met you, guys.

    • SAPE says:

      Get the mail Biondo?
      🙂

      And I hope you want to play SG in the future. Would we meet in BB? Will you be there?

  3066. SAPE says:

    Biondo, I sent a mail to you. I sent it your older E-mail address, not to the gmail.

  3067. GREYMAN says:

    Sape is a FEMALE MONSTER!? 🙂
    I don’t know this, and we are friends from 1998? WOW!
    🙂 🙂 🙂

  3068. GREYMAN says:

    That’s right Biondo he is great player, but a great friend too.
    You are Vén Róka Biondo, this present hungarian language Old Fox. We call so the veteran, experienced, wise man. I like your style and i would be very happy that you would change your decision.
    I remember: we are colleauge and a library is ever persevering and patient. 🙂
    I see you in the game!

  3069. @spi says:

    arrgg …. i was busy @work and @home ….. forget the time for TM LAME match party ! sry !

    …cu friends

    markus

  3070. Biondo says:

    @Mope, I replied to you in Jabber (dear friend), so no need to repeat myself here.

    Be careful of Sape… he/she is a great player!

    • SAPE says:

      He/she? 🙂 And Do you keep going SG? Do you?

      • Biondo says:

        I never understood if you are male or female, and your name doesn’t help.

        Sorry 🙂

      • SAPE says:

        🙂
        🙂
        I am a male. I am 188 cm tall, and my weight is 105 kg. My family name is Sara. My fathers name is Jozsef Sara. I hope i write it clear. 🙂
        Just call me Peter.
        Why don’t you ask it?

  3071. Biondo says:

    I decided yesterday and I deleted this decision. I slept, and I’m confirmed in my decision. Thank you Sape, you are a great player and will be greater.

  3072. SAPE says:

    Hey, Biondo. Don’t do that. You aren’t the founder, but you are the leader, everybody know that.
    I have just one request: sleep, and decide tomorrow. I hope you change your standpoint.

  3073. Mope says:

    Noooooooo! Please, Biondo! You’ve made so much for the clan, it wouldn’t get there without your help! Why not try to settle and solve problems together?

  3074. JesseJames says:

    Sape and I worked well together i find if you look at last week :). And it works not Sape? 🙂
    Next week if we are with more it gonna be the MAX!

  3075. SAPE says:

    Jesse, Zap, I like the clan too, I believe every member. You are my friend, and the others too. I just want to do my best, and improve the Clan, deepen the friendship. But, you know, when your work wasn’t appreciated, there wasn’t feedback, your motivation is not on the top…
    I wish I don’t slight anybody, but I like the straight takings.

  3076. Biondo says:

    Zapata, if hurted you I’m ready to leave. Just let me complete the site migration. This was not my intention.
    A real reply tomorrow.

  3077. Biondo says:

    I wanted to shock Jesse.
    But now it’s time to play. I’ll reply tomorrow.

    Nice to read you.

  3078. ZaPaTa says:

    I had a rough day and this just makes it rougher. I could make a reasonable post but I won’t.

    I’m just pissed.

    The clan was originally founded for fun, dedication to the SG-game and later for education too. Also to promote fairplay, what I still believe is the most important part. No mather your skill in LAME, we play FAIR. Things grow incredibly fast and I do believe it still does. Last week we celebrated the growth of the site. Today you all complain.

    If the clan was really so bad, really good players would have left very soon. They didn’t. We all went on holiday and when we returned things were even filled with more inspiration.
    Perhaps you all are right. Due to lack of respect or understanding, this isn’t a clan?

    For example, We could learn to understand the differences between us all. I love the clan. I do, even if I don’t post ‘enough’ or not ‘quick enough’ (I read it daily in my lunchbreak, in case you wonder). I like you all, no mather your imput. You made the game and the clan bigger than I hoped for in Januari 2011. A Big thanks.
    But I have a family, a girlfriend, a job. I’m a volunteer and a freelance artist. I love it all and I just don’t have the time to do all these things good enough. I might think no one mend to offence me in person, but I do take it personal…and it hurts.

  3079. JesseJames says:

    HI all, wow I was a little bit shocked when I read this.
    But Biondo you are right about some things, in the begin when we started the site, we don’t know if their are many Dutch players?, we played a lot with a Winnie but now I see that it is not the best weapon.
    The recruting page is indeed online, and yes we are closed at the moment, so nobody can in the clan. So if it is posssible to close the recrutingpage.

    But i’am online everyday on the site, but about some points I don’t know the words/ knowledge like serverproblems/config,…
    – I find Jabber a good programm and yes their is nobody online and that is a pity. Everytime i’am online nobody is online of the lamemembers. So why I log in if no of the lamemembers is online. Is it possible that if we are playing SG that we join Jabber so we can see who is online @SG? And we can talk a bit,etc,…

    It was indeed chaos last week because their was no crosshair, … But today i played BR @jeuxlinux and nobody talk their, I was the only player that give tips, and say Good Job Team if we win, and I think if we play TDM more in the future we talk more than now.
    I love really TDM, it is fun if the team works. I played this week Urban terror the game before SG, and their it’s only TDM and it was so nice, I believe in a better spirit, it don’t grow in one week but in a few months it is their, I believe in it.

    about Rems I just have news about him. MS Nautica said to me that Rems insulted MS more than once and he found it not so nice. Rems is a difficult boy I think, he is not so frequently online, he don’t visit the server (because he have problems he said (I don’t believe him) and he throws to much with dyna,… I think we go to talk with him about his behaviour and if he don’t listen, I think their is no other possibility than banned him, it is not nice if we do that but our reputation is now good and I will keep that.

    I think that I say everything 🙂
    and PS: I love you all, everyone do his best for the site (Biondo have nice pictures and forumtopics; Jippie the server, and Sape his weaponpages, tnx to all.

    greets
    Jesse James

  3080. SAPE says:

    Grey phoned, he is still in the Hospital. He can’t come today. 🙁

  3081. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    Grey phoned, he work in the hospital overtime. He will come if he can, but probably late.

  3082. JesseJames says:

    For me it’s even Jippi’s server was ok for me, but if Mercurius will help us and he is responsible than it’s also OK for me.
    I don’t have a lot of knowledge about those things, so I can’t say what is the best decision for our site. :s

  3083. JesseJames says:

    OK? I have choose my maps, I’am ready to play 🙂

  3084. Mope says:

    I’m sorry, can’t make it today – too much work… see you all next Thursday!

  3085. JippiJaYeah says:

    RemsLeTruand can play for me -i have to today Volleyball training.

  3086. SAPE says:

    I vote Mercurius’s server, if you tested it and it is fast enough. I understand your argument about Baller server, and I accept it. But I think it would be better choice.
    I met Mercurius for a long time. He very responsible and helpfull.

  3087. Biondo says:

    Hmm…
    He is very kind, but maybe it’s not that simple.

    I see that he is running a Linux server, and this is good because I don’t know Windows operating system.
    I will need to create a database (or he can create it for me) and possibly a SSH (secure FTP) access to the web directory.

    First we have to decide which server to adopt. If his server is chosen, I’ll write to him (Sape, it’s OK if you gave him my email address).

    At the moment we have 4 possible alternatives:

    – Altervista, until we can stay without paying, and next decide what to do
    – Jippi’s server
    – BallerBude server
    – Mercurius’s server

    Let’s talk about it a little more (and all members!) and next I’ll open a new poll for the last decision. OK?

  3088. SAPE says:

    Mercurius sent a mail to you Biondo. He wrote the details.

  3089. SAPE says:

    I talked with him. He said if we decide, he give an ftp acces, and you can download the stuff. If you want to test the server before it, it would be resolved. He speak english very good, and German too.
    Just call him Mercurius. 🙂
    I give him your mail adress if you don’t mind.

  3090. Biondo says:

    I’m not a real expert in this, but after a small search in Internet, I think it’s OK for a small site like us.

    Sape, if the clan will decide to migrate to your friend’s server, your friend will be asked to talk with me for technical details. Does he speak English? If not, does he speak German? In this last case he could arrange the migration together with Jippi (he is an expert now 😉 ).

  3091. SAPE says:

    It means 4,5 MB/sec for upload and 4,5 MB/sec for download.

  3092. Biondo says:

    “10 Mbit/sec, both upload and download” means 10 MB/sec for download and 10 MB/sec for upload? If it’s really so (but often ISPs lie), it’s more than enough.

  3093. SAPE says:

    Ok. Others? Jippi?
    Biondo, could you try the downloading speed?
    It is my friends server. He play SG too. I wrote somethings about him on the page of TDM. We work in same workplace, so if you have any question, I ask him.
    He said our side’s size is OK.

    The weak point is his internet connection maybe. It is 10 Mbit/sec, both upload and download.
    Is it enough?

  3094. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Sape. The sites are fast for me.

  3095. SAPE says:

    It is my friend’s server. There are 3 homepage in it. Please test it:

    http://www.aurel.hu/

    http://www.tutto.hu/

    http://www.braindamage.hu/

    If it is ok, we would migrate here.

  3096. Biondo says:

    At the moment the size of site is 121256 KB (we are using 62.6% of Altervista free space).

    I not sure what you mean by “home server”, but keep in mind that usually Internet Service Providers give a very limited bandwidth in uploading to home users. This means that also if you have a high speed connection, what you have is fast downloading and slow uploading (a server need a fast uploading).

  3097. Biondo says:

    I understand your concerns, Sape, but I’ll try to reassure you.

    Being hosted by BallerBude, doesn’t mean that the clan becomes part of it. It’s just a physical location (Baller hosts services also for others, for example for Rawhide and Juexlinux servers).

    And nobody will force us to play only in their servers or will censor our posts.

    On the other side, Altervista really limits our freedom, because we don’t control the server and sure we’ll need to pay something soon.

    Jippie’s server could be the best choice, but not when it is so slow.

    Well, let’s hear also other members’ opinion.

    • SAPE says:

      Biondo, what is the size of our homepage? I know an other home server, but I must know our size.

  3098. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I have just one apprehension: the independence. I think more interlocking between the Baller and the Lame clan is not fortunate. The externals, others’s (named just our enemy) opinion is not important to me. There were, are, and will be abuser person, player, but we wouldn’t give him a nother reason. I like the admins of the Baller, but keeping a distance is common interest of both the BB admins and the Lame clan too.
    I vote Jippi’s server ot the altervista. The reason: credibility of the clan. Sorry Biondo.
    About @spi: I like him very much, but if he loved our clan why wouldn’t join us? I know you invited him, Biondo, but he said “Sorry, I am an admin.”
    I just talk about this.

  3099. JippiJaYeah says:

    No problem biondo. It was just a try.

  3100. Biondo says:

    Congratulations Jippi! You managed to solve the login problem.

    I’m sorry for .htaccess that I forgot to copy (next time I’ll double check to copy also hidden files). My fault.

    The slowness problem is always there, though. I’m connecting from work now (where I have a very fast Internet connection), but your site is very very slow, IMO.

    Considering the fact that @spi loves our clan as if it was THE BalleBude clan, loves our blog as if it was BalleBude blog… considering how faster is BalleBude server, my advice is to migrate to Baller. I hope you’ll be admin there, so you can take care of Lame site.

    I’m sorry, because I know that you were happy to host it, and sorry for the time you wasted.

  3101. JippiJaYeah says:

    Biondo, if BallerBude will host this site, then it’s up to you – you don’t need to ask me.

  3102. JippiJaYeah says:

    The migration has got some workaround, because:

    – there was some problems with wordpress permalinks: Biondo, you forgot the . htaccess. It’s now solved.

    Biondo, can you test my server now.

  3103. GREYMAN says:

    Hi
    I agree with Sape. Sorry Biondo, but my english is shame. I practice. I visit the site every day. I speak much better germany, but the members (beyond Jippi, and a bit Jesse, maybe Zapata) can’t undrstand this language. In my opinion you have right in much thing (pumpgun, recruiting).
    We talk with Sape from SG, DM, TDM and the clan very often. Hi know my opinion and speak in my name many times.
    I respect all clan members and thanx all. 🙂

  3104. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Ithink you all right. I respect the founders, but I think our evolution is stuck. The clan members can improve his skill, but I think it not enogh.
    We are a clan, a TEAM. After the clan-TDM I thought a lot, And I suggest that we practice TDM on Nargajunas server, if we have some freetime everyday after 22.00 at night. It is not a big thing, if you not so tired and you have some freetime, just log in nargajunas, and wait few second as spectators. If there is other Lame, or Lames, lets play. I saw the activity of LAMES in BB stat, and It could be work.
    I think the DM at night in BB is fun and great, you can improve your skill there, BUT IT CAN ‘ T IMPROVE THE LAME SPIRIT. Our clan TDM was a simple DM, just we selected our target. there wasn’t any communication or solidarity.
    We played TDM with Grey in Nargayunas. If you can save the life of a LAME, or an other LAME save your life, or the teamwork is perfect, it is much more better than the DM can give to you….
    I just say that, because what I can see here, is the same. A teamplayer is a teamplayer in SG, and in the other parts of the clanlife too.

    I think our member have talent to become a real clan, a team. “Play just for fun” ? I think be member of a clan is not just for fun. If you are a clan memeber, you have some obligation. We must communicate each other. And if It isn’t work here, how would we expect it in a TDM.

  3105. GREYMAN says:

    Nice Sape! It is really Biondo’s gun, but it is your gun too. 🙂

  3106. Biondo says:

    I met @spi in game. He would be happy to host this site in BallerBude server.

    What do you think?

  3107. JesseJames says:

    Wow again very well explained, and very accurate. Great work sape

  3108. Biondo says:

    You are right, Serbia. Totally agree.

  3109. Biondo says:

    I want to be honest and I want to talk clear.

    I want to thank Jippie for his efforts. I already told this and I tell it here again: thank you, Jippie. But…

    I expected something more from Jippi’s site. I measured the loading times in actual server (Altervista) and in Jippi’s server and the loading time doubles in Jippi’s server.

    We already have a slow site because of its many images (that take time to load). Don’t expect to have many visitors if you double the page-loading times.

    Yesterday Altervista was very slow, so slow that some of us couldn’t login. But it was an exception. I’ve seen this happening only 2 times in 4 months.

    We should really reconsider if we want to migrate. Maybe Ballerbude will wish to host the site??

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      ,,

      • Biondo says:

        Jippi, I don’t understand your comment. What do you mean to say?

        In the meanwhile, as I wrote yesterday, @spi offered to host the site on BallerBude server (that sure is faster than this).
        What do you think Jippi?

  3110. SERBIA says:

    And I have same think. Sawed-Off Shotgun is best in Hang Em’ High and inside buildings in Tilian Farm. But, I prefer Remington 12 Gauge as my shotgun. Why? Deference between Remington 12 Gauge and Sawed Off Shotgun is like between Colt Peacemaker and Smith and Wesson Schofield. Remington 12 Gauge has a bigger range and do more damage, but Sawed Off Shotgun has a faster reload, so it’s better for games that most of players are in buildings.

  3111. JesseJames says:

    Wow very handy, great Sape. Tnx, because on the most downloadprogramms you don’t find everything.

  3112. JesseJames says:

    For me the site is even fast like always,…

  3113. Biondo says:

    Jippi, can this help: http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble?

    (And … yes, the site is very slow) 🙁

  3114. JippiJaYeah says:

    updating sql server…

    The site is running, but i can’t log in.

    Jippi, another thing…

    To substitute all occurrences of absolute URLs without issuing a SQL query, you can install the “Search & Replace” plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/) in your new WP install.

  3116. Biondo says:

    Jippi, you should problably try also the automatic Export/Import of WP.
    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/export.php

    As WP says:

    This is a WordPress eXtended RSS file generated by WordPress as an export of your site.
    It contains information about your site’s posts, pages, comments, categories, and other content.
    You may use this file to transfer that content from one site to another.
    This file is not intended to serve as a complete backup of your site.

    To import this information into a WordPress site follow these steps:
    1. Log in to that site as an administrator.
    2. Go to Tools: Import in the WordPress admin panel.
    3. Install the “WordPress” importer from the list.
    4. Activate & Run Importer.
    5. Upload this file using the form provided on that page.
    6. You will first be asked to map the authors in this export file to users on the site. For each author, you may choose to map to an existing user on the site or to create a new user.
    7. WordPress will then import each of the posts, pages, comments, categories, etc. contained in this file into your site.

    Before importing the XML file, you can perform a whole substitution of absolute URLs (lameclan.altervista.org).

  3117. Biondo says:

    Jippi, at the moment I get an “Error establishing a database connection”, but sure it’s a temporary problem due to your running work.

  3118. JippiJaYeah says:

    Howdy!

    The first migration is over and can be found here:
    http://lameclan.serveblog.net/blog

    Two things are lame and to be fixed:
    – sometimes very slowly
    – login don’t work

    please feedback, Jippi

    P.S.: Thx Biondo for advise.

  3119. Biondo says:

    Very fun, Sape! It’s definitely my gun 😉

    If it will be made available in SG, primary fire could shoot as a Colt and secondary one as a Sawed-Off shotgun. The price should be expensive though (maybe as a Colt + a Sawed-Off).

    Sure 2 Colts in akimbo mode + 1 Sawed-Off as secondary weapon, would still be more dangerous.

    It’s curious that someone else have had the same idea, modelling a Lemat revolver for 3D games: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85173

  3120. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    Sorry my late guys,but i am just home now. I agree to migrate the site. THANX everybody.

  3121. Mope says:

    Sure, agreed. Thank you a lot, guys (Biondo and Jippi in particular) for all your concern and involvement in this site improvement and support .

  3122. JesseJames says:

    Hi sorry for my late reaction,…
    I’am very happy that we are still growing, so (i’am not seach a ‘freak’ that knows everything about pc’s. SO i’am happy with JJY and Biondo and ZaPaTa that you are still helping with this kind of managing of the lameclan.TNX to all.

    For me it’s good to migrate the site.

  3123. Biondo says:

    You are right, Sape. I made this post sticky (it always shows in homepage). A feedback from all members is needed.
    JesseJames?? Mope?? REMSLETRUAND?? GREYMAN?? Wiskey??
    Please, leave your comment. If everyone agree, we can migrate next week-end (instructions will follow). I already backed-up the whole site (images included), so you have nothing to do. Another back-up will be made before migration. In that occasion I’ll close comments and posts, so we are sure that the new site is perfectly working.

  3124. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Where are the others?
    I think you would make a new private page call “IMPORTANT”, ore something like that to the important question, that every clanmember must read and comment. It would be possible?

  3125. Biondo says:

    Thank Sape! I spent a lot of time here, because I probably have it, but also because I like to play with this site, and to contribute to Lame clan and, generally, to SG community.
    Your feedback (as your contributions) is really valuable.

  3126. SAPE says:

    Thanx Biondo. It is good and very usefull. You expend lot time on this blog. The high standard, and the popularity is your merit.
    Thanx on behalf of all LAMEs.

  3127. @psi says:

    back to the roots 😉
    ily all

    chears @spi

  3128. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Sape! 🙂

  3129. SAPE says:

    Nice poster Biondo!
    Let’s go. We meet in BB at night. 🙂

  3130. SAPE says:

    I gained a consultant. 🙂
    One of my friend, some of you know him, is also play SG. He isn’t clan member, the SG just a freetime activity for him, he is average skill player.
    BUT:
    He is a veteran MOHAA warrior, he was member of the Royal clan. It was a top level clan in the past, and they played teaming always. I spoke with him for TDM strategy generally. He has got some good idea…

    P.s.: I forget something: his name is Mercurius. He use the same colors like me.

  3131. SAPE says:

    Howdy. I tested, my ping is 180-200, like Biondo. We have the same ping in BB too.
    It is a great thing. We have an own server. Thanx Jippi! 🙂
    Anyway, in my opinion, the ping is not so important. We can practice, try some TDM strategy by high ping too.

  3132. JesseJames says:

    That is a high ping, I have in BB normally a ping of 50-70.

  3133. Biondo says:

    I downloaded sg_maps1.pk3 from SG forum (Full archive for new beta testers: http://www.smokin-guns.net/viewtopic.php?t=2079&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=beta).

    Tested the server: my ping is 180-200 🙁 (in Baller I have 90-100).

  3134. JesseJames says:

    Wow that is fast JJY, I will tested now and give feedback. Really great a LAME server.

  3135. JippiJaYeah says:

    Thx for feedback.
    Hmm, i dont really know, sg_maps1.pk3 (198MB) is in installation from SmokinGuns-1.1b4-update.

  3136. Biondo says:

    Good, Jippi.

    The problem is that when I connect I have to download sg_maps1.pk3, and this means 2-3 hours of time.

    I have a sg_maps0.pk3 in my installation. Why this new packet?

  3137. JesseJames says:

    Indeed sape, I have the same vision like you, if my HP is low i buy nothing, the kind of maps make that I change of weapons. I prefer mostly the last time for Colts, in a duel have I most chance to win the battle. In open fields I prefer colt, in clause combat games I prefer also Colts, or a shotgun or the Winnie, In some maps I pick up a lot of money and then I buy a big weapon.

  3138. SAPE says:

    Thanx the fast answer Jesse. Others?

  3139. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Biondo, it is a complex question.
    If you HP is low, no buying. It would be a bad investment easily.
    When a spawned, the I buy a Schofield, unless there is some money near to me.
    If I have enough money, my decision depends on the texture of the map and the opponents:
    If it is a map with big open field, I prefer the weapon with big firepower and long range. If the map is little, or there are lots of building, I prefer the shotguns.
    If I play against top level player, I prefer sawed-off, or Remington 12, because I have no chance with pistols. if the player skills are balanced, I prefer Peacemaker.

    P.s: Nice picture Biondo. Awesome would wearing bikini, it would be cool with two Colts and holster. 🙂

  3140. JesseJames says:

    @sape a long time ago I and ZaPata played Urban Terror also a shooters game, and in that game we played a lot Capture the flag (a kind of BR) and so we created skills to play together (you see that @the scoretable of TDM 😉 )
    @Jippi great idea for having a Lame Server.

  3141. JesseJames says:

    Yesterday i was thinking about it, if I have enough money, I buy 2 colts or 2 times 1 colt? Or I buy a Winnie,… If I play with Shofields and I earn enough money buy i immediately a colt or not,… If anyone have a good solution for my problem say it. 🙂
    It is a dillemma, in belgium we say if you choose you lose.

    Nice picture Biondo.

  3142. SAPE says:

    Ok. Biondo. I hoped this answer. 🙂
    A new question: Who has got any experience in teaming? Not just in SG; in MOHAA, COD, Counter Strike etc.

  3143. Biondo says:

    Ty, Sape! I’m a DM man, but when I played TDM I enjoyed it. So I can say that I’m an occasional TDM player. And I suppose that BR is the top of fun in SG (apart from the bad environment).

    @Jippi, thank you for the server. Keep in touch with TheDoctor. He has limited time (he is very busy), but he is always generous in helping.

  3144. Biondo says:

    @Jippi: absolutely not! I like your skills with knives, and it’s always a nice/fun challenge trying to contrast your knife. Take it easy, I was only tired, today I feel better.

    @all: I really appreciate your interest in why I didn’t play, and I thank you, but please, keep in mind that I’m not so important (and that sometimes real life is stronger than a game).

  3145. JippiJaYeah says:

    I will try to setup a *lame* game sever for us.

  3146. JippiJaYeah says:

    Disappointed about knife war, i hope not.

  3147. ZaPaTa says:

    NP, but you left just after joking about your age. With such a timing one could easily make conclusions. tnx.

  3148. Biondo says:

    A joke?? I forgot about it. No, Zapa, it’s not your fault at all. I’m totally at my ease with you. It just happened that after 1-2 minutes I realized I was so tired and demotivated that I didn’t want to play. Sorry, and thanks for the nice words.

  3149. Biondo says:

    The cross is important, yes. Nargajunas has 13 slots (-1, for bot) = 12. The same as in TN.
    I should have known that anti-cheat system didn’t allow red cross in TN, but I forgot to check. Sorry.

    • SAPE says:

      No problem Biondo. I be concerned your opinion about TDM. Have you got any motivation on the score of TDM, or you expect yourself a DM player? You are the most seasoned player in SG. We need you, your experience and your strategic talent in 100 %.

  3150. ZaPaTa says:

    I talked about TDM with some LAMErs and most agree to continu TDM. Is nice, thanks all.

    I strongly agree on the ‘red cross’. A different server would be the best solution to get better and avoid chaos. I hated that we didn’t had enough slots last night. Nargajunas is big enough?
    But SAPE, you mean to use Nargajunas after 22 just to practice? I think we should practice together and score points and make it official, all the same time!

  3151. ZaPaTa says:

    Agreed JJ. Hey Biondo, what happened ingame? You started and you left. I remember I joked about a thing you’ve said few days ago. Hope I didn’t insult or offended you with it? You’re a strong foundation for LAME (remembering the chaos in the first TDM because Biondo wasn’t there to coordinate the teams. Yet, you were to only one who knew them well enough since you composed them 🙂 ). Sorry about it, hope you’re fine with it!

  3152. JesseJames says:

    Start we with a new score, or continue with this scores?

  3153. JesseJames says:

    @JippiJaYeah I think we played before the summer we ignore the non-lames. So in the first game JJY earns the most points and than its Zapata who have the second most points.

  3154. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    We made the first clan TDM. It was chaotic, but we had fun, I think. We can try it in Nargajunas server, I think. The red cross is very important, but it isn’t work in TN. And there are a nother thing: In Nargajunas server, your name is been above your head, like Paladin server. It is so important too, because there is a house and you are here and one of your teammate too. You can read, who is it, and call the others, who isn’t here. It is more important, when the team use the same model.
    So, I think we can decide about TDM. It has future or not. I think we can’t decide before we play a TDM in a special TDM server, like Nargajunas.
    I saw your activity in BB stat. In generality, we can say, every lame is play after 22:00 ones or twice a week. Is it possible we login Natgajunas, if we have some freetime after 22:00? It wouldn’t be an official clan TDM, but we could practice a little bit more. If there would be 2, 3, or 4 lame the same time, it would be work, I think.

  3155. Biondo says:

    no no, it’s not a screen calibration problem. It’s only in SG that he sees these colors.

  3156. ZaPaTa says:

    Hmm, nerver seen an inversion before SNH…But you might want to calibrate your screen. Find this one on wikipage: http://www.displaycalibration.com

  3157. Snh says:

    Hi everyone. If you look, you’ll notice that, in the last three score screens posted by Biondo, colours are wrong, the background is blue, also your names have inverted colours.
    This is because those screens were taken from my computer. Since today, I have a sort of colour-bug.

    If anyone experienced this or does know something (maybe read on SG Forum) about this, could you please let me know?

    Best thanks,

    – Snh

  3158. Biondo says:

    Scores:




    Sorry for haven’t played, real life sometimes is heavier than SG.
    I will not update the global scores. A voluntary?

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      How do we wan’t factor in non *lame* members to set *lame* members score points?
      For example for first match:

      1. Jippi
      2. Donout
      3. gaDost
      or
      1. Jippi
      2. ZaPaTa
      3. Sape

  3159. JesseJames says:

    Sape indeed very good opening, I was searching it but I don’t know the title so it was difficult to find it 🙂 tnx

  3160. JesseJames says:

    OK i will try it, I’am now on jabber.

  3161. GREYMAN says:

    English title “Quigley down under” with Tom Seleck in 1990 look it. We like great with Sape.

  3162. SAPE says:

    Howdy Jesse!

    Try this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHbizE2_Ngk

    It would be a good opening I think.

  3163. SAPE says:

    I played in TN few moments ago. Everything OK.

  3164. JesseJames says:

    SO every problem is solved for this evening and we play @ Terra Nova?

  3165. JesseJames says:

    @Greyman, no i don’t know the movie but I like it very much.

  3166. Biondo says:

    I can confirm that in TN the map cycle was stuck. No way to enter, no way to restart map or change map.

    So I voted for “Next Map” and this vote passed. But the game didn’t begin 🙁

    I had to exit to main menu and to re-enter in Terra Nova to able to play. Finally, solved. 🙂

    Wiskey, if you are still around and reading this comment… can you connect to TN now? I’ll be there.

  3167. GREYMAN says:

    Hi!
    Nice mix Jesse. I like it! 🙂
    Are you hear this music? It was a good movie.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUbqUULwSHQ

  3168. SAPE says:

    Nice Smilies. 🙂
    If there will be some problem the TN server, Could we meet on BB server, or some other?

  3169. Biondo says:

    Wiskey, I read your message now. It’s not your problem if you can’t join the game! 😮

    Probably there where only bots and the game ended and got stuck. Call vote to change map, or gametype, or to restart map.

    About the message ”server is not running” it mean exactly what it say: in that moment the server was unavailable. Again, not your fault!

    If you were able to connect and to see the score board, then you can play and everything is OK. 😆

    [By the way, we have new Smilies]
    😎

  3170. SAPE says:

    Hi Wiskey. Try to start the SG1.1b4 with an other .exe file. When I udated my SG, I tried to follow the intructions of the BB site. But – if I remember well – that .exe file didn’t work, but an other is worked.

  3171. SAPE says:

    Biondo, it depends on who comes. SNH, Donut, @spi etc. The players would sectioned out there.
    And if either team is (substantially) weaker, somebody from the other team would join to the weaker team during the game.

  3172. Wiskey says:

    Well, I solved my nickname problem, but now I have new problem. When i connect to TN, I see only score board but I can’ play on tn. Is somebody same problem, or is this only my problem? It seems that I can’t play on TN, maybe we can play in other server, if this problem didn’t solve. I am sorry that i tell that now.

    I also try restart server but I get message ”servers is not running”

  3173. JesseJames says:

    @Biondo normally plays Rems tonight.

    • Biondo says:

      Very well. So we are 9. Would someone suggest a well balanced combination, or do we leave it so (with Rems choosing which team to join)?

  3174. SAPE says:

    Thanx Biondo.

  3175. Biondo says:

    Alamo, Tijuana, GhostTown and Deadwood, all got 3 votes each.

    Tijuana is too small for TDM i suppose. Alamo is well known, so –as Sape asked– good for TDM. GhostTown also is known enough now IMO.

    So here are the maps:

    DM
    – Tijuana
    – Deadwood

    TDM
    – Alamo
    – GhostTown

    And here are the teams:

    Jippi, Wiskey, Greyman, Zapata with a CLINT model (or another male model)
    versus:
    Biondo, Mope, Sape, Jesse with JANE model (or another female model). And Rems will choose which team to follow.

  3176. SAPE says:

    Howdy. I want to practice a littlebit before the mach. What is the decision? Which maps will be performed?

  3177. JesseJames says:

    Nice song, maybe an idea for a next mix, more hiphopstyle with country roots.
    I like the song of Jesse James in my mix BTW 🙂 A song of my favourite outlaw is genius 🙂

  3178. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    Great work Jesse! I like your style! 🙂

    Hear this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX1xyxWkmw0

    This is my favorite remake. It isn’t a really country song, it is Mexican style. I hope you like it.

    P.s.: Turn the speaker to max!! 😉

  3179. JesseJames says:

    @Biondo it’s my mix 🙂 alias Dj Jesse James 🙂
    a poor lonsome cowboy is the theme of a Belgian animation movie named Lucky Luke. (a cowboy, really great movie/ and a comicbook ).
    If you have more countrynumbers, ideas say it and I can make a new mix.

    Lol i was sitting on ZaPaTa’s account, sorry brother 🙂

  3180. Biondo says:

    Hmm…
    You are right @spi, but I have had bad experiences with autoexec.cfg and other external config files. Actually I have 4 or 5 config files that I use for different functions (watching demos, recording movies, SG 1.0, SG 1.1b4, …), but for a newbie I think it’s easier to edit q3config.cfg (while always having a backup of it!).

    If you put video settings in your autoexec.cfg (for example: r_gamma) be sure that the last command issued is a video restart (vid_restart) or your settings will be ignored.

  3181. Biondo says:

    LOL, nice Jesse! (or Zapa?)
    We have an official music, now! 🙂
    A great start with E. Morricone (from S. Leone’s “Once upon a time in the West”).

  3182. ZaPaTa says:

    http://soundcloud.com/kartje/lamemix

    enjoy it, he is not perfect but it are all beautiful songs.
    Countrymusic is difficult to mix. 🙂

  3183. @spi says:

    cool … but do you know that its more smartly, to place your config customisations not directly in you q3config.cfg, it works in most q3 based games placing an autoexec.cfg beside your q3config.cfg with your specific settings.
    This file is executed while the game start up like the autoexec.bat under dos (in good old times 😉

    @spi

  3184. Biondo says:

    You are well welcomed, Donut!

  3185. Biondo says:

    Thank you very much Serbia! It’s nice to see that somebody appreciates our new FAQ.

    See you in game!

    • SERBIA says:

      New welcome Biondo. I really appreciate you guys. Also hello for you, @spi. I am also teaching some my friends from school to play Smokin’ Guns. I want to delete 100% Counter-Strike players. I really hate that game, I have played it only once and if you’re stuped in it everybody thinks you’re total noob in every game and they don’t let you even to look at school computers!
      Sorry for such long time to respond!

      Best wishes, your Darijan Mićić(in SG SERBIA)

  3186. SERBIA says:

    Hello, *LAME* clan! I’m SERBIA in the game, probably you noticed me on Baller Bude. Nice you placed all FAQ’s on your site, so new guys to this game can learn stuffs here also. I have seen’t you recruited Whisky in your clan. Good choise. Anyway, I hope you the best! You have nice players and you can do a nice yob in killing others!

    Cheers, SERBIA

  3187. Donuz says:

    I will look if i can find some time to connect to your “party” 😀

  3188. Biondo says:

    I think the only 1.0 map existing in Terra Nova is Alamo (though in it’s updated version).

  3189. SAPE says:

    I have a recommemdation. Because the TDM is a novelty, we haven’t got any experience in it, I suggest we play the TDM in a vell-known 1.0 maps, if it is possible.

  3190. Biondo says:

    Why not? I don’t see anything against this.

  3191. Biondo says:

    Searching for SPSS, I found a “Free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS, and appears very similar to it with a few exceptions” [quoted] named PSPP http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/. I’ll give it a try, but my knowledge of statistical methods is very basic.

    • SAPE says:

      Hi Biondo. I saw this PSPP. Yes, it was similar than SPSS. I suggest to try it. Don’t affraid of it. At first It would be scarry, but I know You can do it.
      Beyond that, I suggest find a good, basic statistics book, if it possible, It written on your native language.
      If you have a good statistic software, it isn’t so complicated: If you know what value is important to you (forexample: deviation), and you know how to define the result, you can reach your target. So you couldn’t know the equation; this is the software’s work.

  3192. Biondo says:

    Very kind Sape, thank you! But keep in mind that I live in Linux, not in Windows. Thanks again.

  3193. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    There is a question: Could we buy weapons to our teammate?
    If somebody out of money, the teammate could buy a peacemaker or a sawed-off to him? I think it is important to clear it. Opinions?

  3194. SAPE says:

    When I worked in the University of Kaposvar, I used SPSS statistic software. It is too expensive, but I try to find a free statistycal software to you, if you interested in it.

  3195. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I think this graph is better than the skill. I experience is the skill is very-very sensible. I see the graph of skill, and I can see a lots of extrem value, the measures of spread is big .

  3196. Biondo says:

    I don’t have a statistical software, I just drew the whole thing in a drawing software (always the same: Inkscape).

  3197. SAPE says:

    Biondo, what kind of statistical softwer do you use?

  3198. SAPE says:

    Do that Jesse! 🙂 562 is a very big number!! Yeehhaaaaaa!

  3199. JippiJaYeah says:

    Like your delightful inspiration of Mrs. Possum, Biondo. 🙂

  3200. JesseJames says:

    Indeed last model is better than the first one,more balanced I think if everyone shoot on his level.

  3201. Biondo says:

    Thank you Mope! Really.

    Vectors and textures. I use only Free software that work in Linux (but in this case also in Windows and Mac). 99% of the work is made in Inkscape (vectors with imported textures. Think of it as something similar to Adobe Illustrator) and 1% in The Gimp (just the lens reflections. The Gimp is like Photoshop, but worst). AwesomePossum is 100% vectors, yes.

    I’ll reopen Jabber tonight, i hope to find you there.

  3202. Mope says:

    Great art, Biondo, I really love it, is Awesome made in vectors only? What software do you use?

  3203. Biondo says:

    Good 🙂 It’s difficult to find a place for you, Sape, because you were a bad player but you increased your skills a lot in short times. Nice, Sape.

  3204. SAPE says:

    The last version is OK to me.

  3205. Biondo says:

    With picmip 9 is more difficult… you see a transparent white-pink square, but I can play with picmip 0.

    I don’t think we are ready for TMD. We can play it but without considering the scores.

    The best arrangement would be to have balanced teams, say:

    Jippi, Wiskey, Greyman, Rems
    against:
    Biondo, Mope, Zapata, Jesse

    … and Sape? Hmm…

    Moreover, more players will ,join (at least my son SNH)

    OK, let’s say, just to try:

    Jippi, Wiskey, Greyman, Rems, Sape (Maybe Rems will not play, because he didn’t in previous deathmatches) with a CLINT model (or another male model)
    against:
    Biondo, Mope, Zapata, Jesse with JANE model (or another female model).

    Or, better:

    Jippi
    against:
    Biondo, Mope, Zapata, Jesse, Sape, Wiskey, Greyman, Rems

    No, no. Let’s try this:

    Jippi, Wiskey, Greyman, Zapata with a CLINT model (or another male model)
    versus:
    Biondo, Mope, Sape, Jesse with JANE model (or another female model). And Rems will choose which team to follow.

    OK?

  3206. SAPE says:

    Howdy!
    I will be there. Maps: Tijuana and Deadwood to play DM. Dry and Alamo to TDM.
    Nice graphic Biondo! 🙂
    A question: Biondo, in TDM would we use the same caracters, or boys vs girls? How does it work in picmic 9?

  3207. Biondo says:

    Hi Wiskey, nice to see that you write here!

    If you managed to install SG Beta you are a pro! Congrats!

    Colors in SG Beta are a bit different, particularly in console.
    I think you see different colors in console, but in game they are the same.

    Also be sure that when you remove your old name you delete also invisible characters (press Backspace 3-4 times more).

    If you want to be sure that your colors in game are those that you wanted, follow the instructions in the FAQ: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/smokinguns/faq-frequently-asked-questions/

    If you’ll play with wrong colors… no problem, we’ll have time to correct them later.

  3208. Wiskey says:

    Hi all LAME members. If somebody don’t know me, I am Wiskey and i am new member in LAME. I have problem with 1.1 b4 update. I downloaded it from bb site and install it by following instructions. It remove my nickname and when I try write it again, colors are different than 1.0. Mope tell that I can copy paste my nickname from LAME site but how i do it? I need quickly help in this problem. Or can anyone tell how i write my nickname in right color in 1.1 b4. Thanks

    Ghost Town or Alamo is my answer

    Edit: I think that I am solved my nick problem. I will yet test that update.

  3209. Biondo says:

    I confirm TDM is available in TN.

  3210. Biondo says:

    Nargajunas has classic SG 1.0 maps, like in Baller. But I see that TDM is available also in TN, so there is no need to change server, it’s enough to call a vote for TDM.

    We can keep the scores of TDM too.

    Tijuana and GhostTown are OK for me. I’d also like to play in Deadwood, Donut redesigned it because he thinks it is a nice map to play. Moreover, I have a small responsibility with Deadwood, because I designed some of the house doors.

  3211. JesseJames says:

    Oh Good Lord! that is more than I ever dreamed.
    That is a good reason to drink a good glass of Italian, Hungarian wine 🙂

  3212. JesseJames says:

    @ZaPaTa not so impatient 😉

  3213. JesseJames says:

    @Biondo if that is possible that will be great. TDM is indeed very exiting if you have good teammates (no Nerman, or the ugly) so if we play only with LAME it will be great and funny.

    Zapata and I have played last week a few times DUEL, that is very good to improve your skills and it is also very exiting full of tension.

  3214. JesseJames says:

    Ok good idea to play also in Nargajunas. Is it also with points if you are in the winning team?
    I never played in Nargajunas wich maps can you play their? the BB maps or more like TN?

    maps: Tijana again for me, is a very good map.Deadwood, or Alamo Tiny, ghosttown.

    very nice pic, Awsome 🙂

  3215. Biondo says:

    Not so amazing as yesterday views count: 562!

  3216. ZaPaTa says:

    You forgot posting your link JJ 😉

  3217. JesseJames says:

    Indeed welcome Wiskey
    lol@the picture of JJY

  3218. JesseJames says:

    Just back of a short vacation @the sea :). So I missed the conversation a bit.
    No they don’t send a mail to me. But Desperado asked ones to me, and I say we are full. I say that because (what you have said BIondo,Mope) he use to much dyna.
    Bigboy he is a normal player, he don’t say to much, he is not the greatest player.
    conclusion: for me it’s a NO for both players.
    Indeed we are now with enough good players with the same opinion about the game = LAME spirit 🙂

  3219. JesseJames says:

    @sape Great idea, I will make the mix and post him if he is ready. I never made a mix with country music, it will be a challenge. 🙂 My dj name is dj squaw 🙂
    this song is not so country but it is a great song about the battle at wounded knee, were a lot of Indians found their dead.

    @greyman NIce to see that your daughter is well.

  3220. JesseJames says:

    Is this Thursday the first DM of the ‘new’ season?

  3221. JesseJames says:

    Wow 333 it’s amazing, I remember that Zapata and I started the server and we taught that we will have no views :). But now, it will say that we have a good site… Tnx to all to post funny, interesting posts. I know I never post a new page because my English, and knowledge about SG is not so great :).

  3222. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you Zapata. You have right , she is 1,5 month. Ask Bullblood from Eger it is good red wine.
    Hungarian language present Egri Bikavér. I like this wine. 🙂

  3223. ZaPaTa says:

    Hehe this is a nice topic, long time.
    I’ve been reading trough it and maybe, if we switch to a new host, we should also update the original ‘about us’ pages.

    And I’m not sure about this ‘comment’-page for personal chat. We have a lot in common and things to chat about. Maybe a real forum, just for personal stuff and progress of LAME (like the TDM topic, requests, etc) would fit in better. Would structure things easier.

    Congrats Greyman, how’s she doing now? Already 2 months aprox. now?
    And BTW, I like wine too. Can’t remember a Hungarian wine. But I know someone in Belguim with Hungarian roots; will ask him 😀

    About music, I can advice the album ‘Feast of Wire’ from Calexico. I don’t like their later work but this one is outstanding Tex-Mex.

    • Biondo says:

      Zapa, it’s not possible to migrate a blog into a forum. Moreover I wouldn’t like to start anew (new layout, new instructions, new posts, and so on).

      Splitting the things in 2 places it’s also a bad idea: I see you (and others) hardly find the time to check this single place 😛

      IMO, better stay with WordPress (and migrating from Altervista to Jippi’s server).

  3224. ZaPaTa says:

    Thanks Biondo. Some usefull tips again. Will watch some demos, sure it’s useful. Reminds me of my job 😀
    watching other work from designers always inspires too 🙂

  3225. Biondo says:

    I’d like to play in Terra Nova, to give more evidence to this brave server. I will investigate if TDM is possible in Terra Nova, so that we can keep the same server and play TDM at the same time.

  3226. ZaPaTa says:

    Agree with you SAPE, it’s fun. But I’m not sure about splitting things up and 2 evenings looks quiet intensive to me (too intensive, can’t make that much time free). So I would be disappointed to miss one of the two. Also, we will lose a bit the touch of playing together, since I think not all of us will join two evenings.
    Why not playing 2 DM (Tijuana, Ghosttown) and two TDM.
    We’ll have to look how we could score some point in a TDM anyway…

  3227. ZaPaTa says:

    I agree too, since we’re still growing. We should be prepared to grow a little more.

  3228. JippiJaYeah says:

    Love the idea, SAPE. 🙂
    theReaper is called in german = der Sensemann

    theReaper

  3229. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    I suugest a new nickname to Jippi. He is play very good with peacemakers, but he is the best with knifes: Jippi, the reaper. 🙂
    What is your opinion, Jippi?

  3230. SAPE says:

    Howdy!

    At the bigining I wrote I like the country music. I don’t know you are like it or not.
    There is a classic:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMko5LelBdA

    There are some nowadays country songs:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4s0nzsU1Wg

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a35eviHIEs

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEUCuX5cFRA (“…the DJ spinnin’ that country song…)

    Jesse, could you make a country DJ set? 🙂

  3231. SAPE says:

    Howdy.
    Yesterday night I played TDM on Nargajunas server. The game was in Dry. There were two guys, I think they have played TDM for a long, they teamwork is very good. Tuco was my team-meat, so I had no chance. I made a phone call. Some minutes later Grey was join. It was a very-very fun, exciting and nice fight. In the end we lost. The result: 50 vs. 49! (the fraglimit is 50.)
    I can’t wait for the clan TDM! 🙂

  3232. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    I agree to migrate the site.

  3233. JippiJaYeah says:

    This is because it calls SpecialBude.
    Be aware from other players that they call you now cheater. 😉

  3234. SAPE says:

    🙂
    🙂
    I played a lot there, but I have never try, because I didn’t know it.

  3235. SAPE says:

    Yep Biondo, the FAQ page is a good idea. Our clan is a friendly and helpfull one, I think. The pomposity is not my way. We could help the biginners, of corse just that case, If he has some respect. To make a FAQ page is befit our image.

  3236. Biondo says:

    Almost popular, yep 🙂

    If you really want to be popular, you have to publish something useful to noob players: “How can I get a coloured name?” … “How can I use a Gatling?” … “How do you use a scope?” … “How can I get money?” … and so on. Maybe we can add a FAQ page for this.

  3237. Biondo says:

    🙂
    Sape, in Special Bude all players can climb every vertical surface. It’s a fun feature that Doc introduced, no cheat, no particular configuration, it’s the norm. Try it yourself, just jump and climb, it’s fun.

    About anti-cheating system: I don’t think in Special Bude there is an anti-cheat system.

  3238. SAPE says:

    Could we say we are popular?
    🙂

  3239. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    What do you know about Special Bude? Is there an anti-cheating system? Today I saw a man climbing up a wall of a tower without ladder….

  3240. Biondo says:

    I think that for the last word we have to wait Jesse and Zapata.
    Jesse, Zapata: what do you think?

  3241. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yes, we have a already very smart clan members.
    I will make the recruitment page to closed.

  3242. Biondo says:

    Update: In the first version of the graph I mistakenly downgraded ZaPaTa using data from his old installation. Now corrected with the most up to date data.

    Sorry, ZaPaTa!

  3243. SAPE says:

    Thanks the advice, Biondo. It is a good approach of problems like this.

  3244. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    Recruiting is closed in my opinion. We must change the Recruitment page I think. If we want to keep alive the “LAME spirit”, we must stopped the accession of the number.
    Please, stop the recruiting.

  3245. Biondo says:

    Sorry, I made a mistake, so I updated my previous comment. When I wrote:

    I suppose that if you can turn of 180° moving the mouse 15cm

    I intended to write:

    I suppose that if you can turn of 360° moving the mouse 15cm

  3246. Biondo says:

    MexicanoDesperado is all-dyna player: I vote NO.
    BigBoy? There are 6 BigBoy in Baller (not in BB site, but I have access to a more extended database), and I don’t know any of them. I agree with Mope, we must slow down our acceptance of new members, otherwise the clan will explode.

    Please, can we say we are not recruiting now? We can always accept somebody that we like and esteem. But officially, can we say recruiting is closed for now?

  3247. Mope says:

    Yep, I confirm MexicanDesperado is too much into dyna.

  3248. JippiJaYeah says:

    I noticed Mexican Desperado as a further only dynamite man – oha.
    BigBoy is another player who want to change the clan – don’t like that.

  3249. Mope says:

    Don’t you think we’re pretty manned enough? I mean, the elite club is elite because it’s hard to get inside )). So maybe we’ll stop recruiting for a while and check, how the things are going on?

  3250. SAPE says:

    There are two player who want to join the clan.

    Mexican Desperado

    http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=250&config=0

    BigBoy

    http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=721&config=0

    I don’t know they have sent a mail to Jesse yet.

  3251. SAPE says:

    Nice Jippi. 🙂

  3252. Biondo says:

    😀 😀 😀

  3253. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yes, my server is fast enough.

    biondo wanted

  3254. Biondo says:

    He is a well know troll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29) that I warned more than once when I was admin.

    Follow these rules when you find somebody repeatedly accusing you of cheating:

    – remind him that you are playing in Ballerbude, where an anti-cheating system is active
    – remind him that all winners’ matches are recorded in BB site (http://bb.game-host.org/demos/) so that everyone can see you aren’t cheating (your game is recorded if you win, or if you get at least a score of 27 points)
    – after these communications, ignore his accusations completely
    – when he insists in his annoying behaviour, write to oa.doctor [at] gmail [dot] com

    @Jippi: As in past times, I’d like to see you in BB administrators’ group!

  3255. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    If Jippi’s server is fast enough, I agree.

    P.s.: I hope you never leave the clan Biondo.

  3256. JippiJaYeah says:

    I noticed Stranger and he insult me too, but don’t worry about him, his skill is very bad.

    I ask two days ago theDoctor to put me as admin on BB.
    He have to discuss it with @spi and give then the answer.

    I’m very sure that nobody is cheating in our clan.

    LOL *o*isacheater <- *o* was a synonym of mine

  3257. Mope says:

    This Stranger player is a nuisance. He often accuses (me as well). Today I played the most awful game in history – Stranger and ubojica insulting and annoying all the way. I was simply forced to leave the game. Sad.

  3258. Biondo says:

    “All the administrative interface is in Italian language (or at least this is what I can see), so if one day in the future I’ll leave the clan, you’ll have hard times administering the site. So i ask you: do you know of an ‘international’ hosting provider that supports WordPress installations?”

    (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/need-your-help/).

    This is a wonderful news. If you think your server is fast enough, and most important if you feel you can host *LAME* site for next years, I vote for a migration from Altervista to your home server.

    Jippi, are you sure you can host it?
    To other clan members: do you agree with this migration?

  3259. SAPE says:

    Hi all!
    I have some problem with a player named Stranger. He insult me every time we meet in BB. He insult me and other Lames too. He say we are cheater. At first I thought that I don’t take up him. He play a lot in BB, and I meet him very often. Some minutes ago I played in Coyot Bluff. He was there. He sad why don’t the LAME clan look for a nother server, because BB isn’t a cheater’s server.
    I said him If he think I a cheater, send a mail to the Doctor, and he banned me if I cheat. But he defame me and our clan again and again.
    What we can do?

    P.s.: There are 2 strangers in BB. He is alias: SGPlayer, smokin’snoob, smokinnOOb, stopcheatplz, ToManyCheatersHere, Tuco, *o*isacheater, lolrublind?, Beauregard, Stranger

    http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=229&config=0

  3260. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Jippi. I added an email notification for every new post and every new comment to his profile.

    Backup? No, I don’t have it and I tell you why: a whole backup is time consuming in this free Altervista hosting. Moreover, if I remember well, we should upgrade for a backup now (this means to pay something). When I’ll be inspired I’ll _try_ to backup all, but one thing is sure, if you want a good hosting service you have to pay (this is the reason why I asked in this blog if someone knew of a better free hosting service some times ago).

    I’m not really an admin here, Altervista is. 🙁

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      this is the reason why I asked in this blog if someone knew of a better free hosting service some times ago

      Didn’t see your request. I have a home server, so we can use it.

  3261. JippiJaYeah says:

    I set him as admin now.

    Biondo, don’t you have a backup?

  3262. Biondo says:

    OK, thanks. You can promote him to admin.

    Wiskey: please be careful, as an administrator you can damage the site if you play with the administrative interface of WordPress (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-admin/) without knowing what you are doing! But feel totally free to post and comment. I suggest that you try to read the most part of the site’s pages and posts before.

  3263. Biondo says:

    I watched the demo, Zapa. You made some very nice shots here! The overall impression is that you played well (sometimes it’s only a matter of luck).

    It’s good you started to “slalom”, practice with it and you’ll improve your skills a lot.
    Make a backup of your q3config.cfg and test your mouse sensitivity: change it if you feel your crosshair has random movements. To do this, open console and type “\sensitivity” to get your actual sensitivity. You can change its value via “\sensitivity #” (where “#” is the number you choose to test).
    My mouse sensitivity is 2, default is 5, but you have to test it with your mouse (sure, mine is different). I suppose that if you can turn of 360° moving the mouse 15cm on the table, you have enough sensitivity to move your model; a higher sensitivity limits your aim.
    You can also play with Quake-online style acceleration (via SG settings) but be careful to test and test and test or you can worsen your movements.

    Apart from that…

    – I still can see you don’t put enough attention in surrounding sounds, and you don’t hear close enemies (times: 2:01, 2:20, 7:25 f.i.)
    – crouch when you reload your pistols, an appearing enemy will damage you less
    – sometimes you are too hurried: if you hadn’t been seen, don’t shoot too early, just wait the right moment when you are sure you get the best damaging effect (I also always mistake here)
    – avoid Jippi’s knives 🙂

    Generally speaking, if you clan members do have time, watch good players’ demos (http://bb.game-host.org/demos/, click the table header “Last modified” to load all recorded demos since August 2010). I learned a lot while spectating good players when I was a cheaters’ hunter in Baller.

    Last but not least: motivation is the best skills’ improver. If you aren’t motivated enough, do something else and play only when you are fresh, charged and at your ease.

  3264. SAPE says:

    It is good expedient Biondo. Thanx.

  3265. JippiJaYeah says:

    @biondo: I gave Wiskey for the moment the lowest role with the access to the secret pages, before you agree to set him as an administrator.

  3266. Biondo says:

    Sape, it’s no so easy to move comments from one post/page to another (if you don’t want to move all post comments, but only some). So I’ll leave previous comments about TDM where they have been written:

    “In the front of this page Zap talked about TDM.
    Yesterday I talked about TDM with Jippi. He said it would be funny start to train TDM. I agree.
    What is your opinion about it?” …

    (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/where-to-go-with-lame/#comment-443)

  3267. Biondo says:

    Ah ah, really fun and nice photo manipulation, ZaPaTa!
    (I added two tags to it –graphics and Ballebude– I hope you forgive me for this).

    Yes, at night, BB is almost desert, just bots. Sometimes someone from USA (*M*, for instance… nice and kind player indeed) or from Brazil connect, though.

    Sarah is from UK. Sarah has limited administrative privileges in Baller, after a request I made to Doc.

  3268. Biondo says:

    Hi Wiskey! Have fun and don’t fear to write in this blog. Some directions for your life in *LAME*’s site here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/

    Meet you in game!

    B.

  3269. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    I agree with Zap, and Biondo. We could make two gathering a week. One DM and one TDM day. I think Thursday and Tuesday are good to me too.
    Yep, there is a bind to team-speak, the “Y” activated it. It is enough at the beginning.
    I played MOHAA (Medal of Honor Allied Assault) in the past. My experience is the team-chat is too slow. The team-speak is indispensable when we reach a higher level, and we want to progress.

    And there is an other thing: It would be funny to hear your voice. 🙂

  3270. Biondo says:

    Sorry, maybe I didn’t explain enough my posst: all text in grey color (after the double slash //) are comments I’ve put for your help.

    I now want to add some binds from one of the best players (maybe THE best, but I won’t name him here). I don’t even know what these binds mean, what I understood –when I talked with him– is that:

    1– he doesn’t use the “Q” bind to get the last used weapon (he said he never remembers which weapon he used before)
    2– with these binds he is able to use the numbers as a quick switch to a particular weapon (Colt, Shotgun, …)
    3– some binds hide the “hud” (dollars, bullets, weapon, … images) so to have a clean view of the battle field.

    If somebody (Jippi??) is brave enough to test them and to explain to other members how these binds really work, I’d be grateful to him.

    Here they are:

    bind 1 "weapon 1;cg_drawGun 1;set altweapon vstr altweapon2"
    bind 2 "cg_drawGun 0; weapon 1; weapon 2; weapon 2; weapon 2; weapon 2; weapon 2; weapon 2"
    bind 3 "weapon 3;cg_drawGun 0;set altweapon vstr altweapon3"
    bind 4 "weapon 4;cg_drawGun 1;set altweapon vstr altweapon4"

  3271. Biondo says:

    I’m OK for TerraNova Thursdays and Nargajunas Tuesdays (or which other weekly day you like more).

    About teamspeak software: it’s perfectly legal. You can find a voice software in SG site, though I never tried it.

    There’s a default bind for console teamspeak (I think it’s Y). Never tried it, but we can test if it works.

  3272. Biondo says:

    I’m back from vacation. OK for Wiskey.

    Jippi, thank you for creating the new user. Are you sure that as a “subscriber” he is able to access private area (I see you made some testing)? Otherwise we’ll give him administrative privileges.

  3273. Biondo says:

    OK, my mistake. I know some of us have 2 accounts and I tried to get only the most recent one, but with ZaPaTa I made a mistake. I’ll update the graph ASAP.

    @Sape: good you have statistics knowledge. I haven’t so you can suggest corrections to my excursions in stats realm.

  3274. JippiJaYeah says:

    Maybe the other side looks like that.

  3275. GREYMAN says:

    Hi
    I play changing on BB because of my job, thick late at night. The weather is colder. 🙂

  3276. SAPE says:

    Good idea Zap. Thanx.
    I have a request: Somebody, how better know the wordpress, please relocate the TDM post on this page.

    Thanx

  3277. ZaPaTa says:

    Ah, the mighty Force of the Ping. They all should turn to the Good Ping Side, and enjoy Baller Bude. Too bad there’s no one out there.

  3278. Mope says:

    Sometimes I enter the BallerBude late at night, 2-3 AM, just because I’m half-human half -owl. What can I say? It looks pretty crowded – AwesomePossum, FuzzyJones and PeaceMaker having a party there! It looks like desert at night… and sometimes there is some lonely guest from US, Argentina or Brazil. There is another kind of late-night players, like Sarah, I’ve seen her on server after twelve. There is no night clan, because the server is based at Germany, the ping of American players will be catastrophic, I think, but I like the mystery and the fiction-way of thought in your post, Zap.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Sarah, i think, she came from Brazil.
      Then we have RodyARG, he plays always lonely from 2am to 5am, against the bots, with a bad ping.

  3279. JesseJames says:

    Haha genius that you use Jesse James for the image:)
    Indeed I never play after 10 o’clock in the evening and not before 10 o’clock in the morning.

  3280. ZaPaTa says:

    I agree on some points here. I’m def. in for TDM, but I’m only OK if we train it in our weekly, upcomming clanwars. Maybe we add an extra TDM-game to our schedules?
    If not all players agree, we could do a day DM, and another day a TDM in the week. Not ideal I think, since we get two rankings and two styles of LAME-spirit. Not sure about splitting things up.

    SAPE, team speak would only be fair if everybody would use it. JJ and I don’t have mics, so I already see a problem. But is’nt there a bind to speak in-game only to your team-mates?

    I make a new topic now to discuss TDM any further, OK.?
    Cheers

  3281. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    I have two questions.
    If we play TDM or BR, using a team speak softwer is legal and/or possible?
    If it is legal and possible, is it important, useful in SG?

  3282. ZaPaTa says:

    Welcome Wiskey! Hope to catch up with you on our site too.
    Cheers

  3283. Mope says:

    WW!

  3284. GREYMAN says:

    Welcome Wiskey!

    Welcome Wiskey!

    Tested it, and I must admit it’s a very useful improvement!
    Thanks to Sape and Greyman!

  3287. ZaPaTa says:

    Will add this one too! (but help remembering it :D)

  3288. SAPE says:

    Ok Jesse. Please write your observations.

  3289. JesseJames says:

    sounds great SAPE i will try it.

  3290. JesseJames says:

    OK thank you, great work.

  3291. JippiJaYeah says:

    Wiskey is now a new member of *lame*.

    Welcome Wiskey!

  3292. JesseJames says:

    Biondo is on vacation for a week, oh and Mope is also not here.
    Hmm I sended an our or two ago a mail that he is a lamemember :s.

    Tnx JJJ 🙂

  3293. SAPE says:

    Jesse, could we wait Biondo? I think the vote of a new clan member must be unanimous.
    I don’t think so that Biondo have any problem with Wiskey…
    Where is Biondo? And Mope?

  3294. JesseJames says:

    @JippiJaYeah his email is jonihie [at] hotmail [dot] com . Can you make his account with password so he can on the private pages?

  3295. JippiJaYeah says:

    I agree with you guys – for Wiskey.

  3296. JesseJames says:

    OK tnx for your quick answer. ZaPaTa and I are also for Wiskey

  3297. SAPE says:

    Hi.
    Grey and I make a config modification, and it is work good. It is the modificition of Biondo’s config.

    bind MOUSE1 “+attack”
    bind MOUSE2 “+attack; +button6″

    The result:
    All function stay the same except one things. If you use pistol, there are some differences.
    One pistol: the mouse work the same: Left button= single shot, right button= quick draw.
    Dual pistol: Left button=left pistol shoot, right button=the two pistols shoot together.

    The dyna, rifle, knife, shotgun and whiskey bomb usage don’t change.

  3298. SAPE says:

    Hi. I and Grey said our opinion: we for Wiskey. Hi isn’t top level player, but it is not important. I think his personality is similar to the LAMEs.

  3299. JesseJames says:

    @JJJ i’m now 18 for 3weeks HOORAY, I respect now the other players! 🙂 But I’am agree, LAME Clan is a clan with players with the same opinion on the game I think. And I will keep that so, so if we take players it are players with the same view like we.
    And that is the reason why we observe new recrutes for a month or two (exemple Wiskey) He can improve his skills if he play with us. And he have I think the same view on the game like we. I told to him to contact him next week. SO who is for Wiskey and who is against Wiskey? you can say it here.

  3300. JesseJames says:

    @sape indeed it’s good for the spirit. 🙂 I remember our first clanwar against WR 🙂 Me and ZaPaTa against 4 Wr guys it was terrible of us. My nerves broke down :p

    Ok first practice a bit on the TDM. And after tat we can play a funwar. But not BB it’s not my favorite clan too much cheaters. I like the style of the dragons and FA

  3301. GREYMAN says:

    Hi
    I agree with Jippi, but i trust Sape, if he think Wiskey is ok.
    The choice is yours. You are old LAME clan members. 🙂

  3302. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    I talked and played with Wiskey, and I like his stance. I assist his joining. I talked about him with Grey, he has the same opinion.

  3303. ZaPaTa says:

    To make this topic a bit more popular 😀
    Another demo of a terrible game. Yet I used to be good on this map, I thought. Download it here:

    http://www.fileden.com/files/2010/1/27/2739987//demo0003.dm_68

    I noticed i often do some slaloming when I’m a very close combat. But then I don’t aim very well. You notice that too? Other things I do/still do?

    Greets, a learning ZaPaTa

  3304. JippiJaYeah says:

    In my opinion we should be sure that a new member is over 18 years. Many younger players don’t have the respect to other players.

  3305. ZaPaTa says:

    Got it, most of the time I play on one computer but I also play very rare on the other one. Jesse plays regular on both. explains it?

  3306. SAPE says:

    🙂 Thanx Jippi.

  3307. JippiJaYeah says:

    Whiskey != Wiskey 😉

  3308. SAPE says:

    Hi.
    I would like to play a clan TDM. What is your opinion the Nargajunas server? I played in it, not bad. Biondo said the same.
    On the other hand I think the TDM would bring up the clan members. It build the “team-spirit”, the “LAME-spirit”. 🙂
    And finally, I don’t want to any conflict of other clans, but we play a lot DM, practice, become better, and better.
    We got some challenge from other clans, like BB or FA. Sooner or later we must protect our aprroch, our aspect of this game.

  3309. SAPE says:

    Hi.
    I can’t find Whiskey in the BB stat. What are we know about him?

  3310. SAPE says:

    Big gun not bad idea, but if there is a big gun in the game, for example a cannon, we will need bigger map, like backwater, or more bigger.

  3311. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yes, the mentality of JeuxLinux to BB is very different.
    Further i don’t know about JeuxLinux anti cheating & hacking concept (is there on?). Some players have a very different (JeuxLinux/BB) skill level.

    BR/TDM: Why not, could be good for improve our skill level strategy.

  3312. JesseJames says:

    Hmm I like also BR of TDM, the concept is good but I don’t like Jeuxlinux the mentality of a lot of players is very different of the BB mentality.
    BR is very exiting but if you are dead you can’t play for minutes and that is a pity.
    Maybe we can try TDM once in a clanwar?

  3313. JesseJames says:

    @biondo, I see now this page, and I written Rosi an answer on another page here 🙂 indeed a lame player is all the time very lame. 🙂 and you can not in 2 clans at the same time.

    I have also a request of Wiskey. He is a new player in SG, he is polite and wrote me many emails what is a good signe. So if you see a white Wiskey observate him a little bit, I say to him that I will write him an answer next week if he is a lame member. Maybe he can change of name because Wiskey is a lame name.

  3314. JesseJames says:

    Wow I saw now this page, very interesting and nice pics 🙂
    Nice gun Sape, i love the sawed of shotgun.

  3315. GREYMAN says:

    I use windows 7 ultimate and play with 1.0 + 1.1B4. every other answeer is None. 🙂

  3316. JippiJaYeah says:

    Maybe i got the reason for ZaPaTa graph: He have two accounts (one active and one non active). Biondo’s graph was taken from the non active account. (see graph above)

  3317. SAPE says:

    Hi.
    Zap, I think I know the answer. The BB stat make “photo” in your skill twice a week. The graph can’t reflect your real skill. For example my best skill rate was 1518 (19th place), but I reached it the wrong time, so it doesn’t show the graph. (In my priviest workplace I make a lot statistic work. It was my tusk there).

  3318. ZaPaTa says:

    😀 😀
    But strongly agree with that strategy. A LAME-member is always and everywhere LAME. hence, the word LAME.

  3319. ZaPaTa says:

    I don’t know what it is, BUT. I might be at the bottom of the graph, I’m there at least with skills. Anyone ever tried making such a curve? I did and I’m the best in it.
    Kidding, I don’t have a clue why it’s like that. (And why I’m there so beneath everyone else…)

  3320. JesseJames says:

    Good idea to have a big gun,but we have a gatling . 😉

  3321. JesseJames says:

    Wow JippiJaYeah are you that guy? 🙂

  3322. JippiJaYeah says:

    The internet connection is very important, see my ping.
    So, please see my skill carefully.

    I have tried to uprise my ping to the average lame ping, but it didn’t work. I worked on it.

  3323. Mope says:

    Heh, Zap, your graph is weird. Good for you, it’s not a cardiogram, it could look alarming that way.

    My graph is upsetting. Have I reached my top? Can I rise above this level (without upgrading my internet connection)?

  3324. JesseJames says:

    Hi Rosi, I think you are in another clan named GUNS! and we don’t take players who have another clan then the lameclan.
    It’s a pity but we need players who are very ‘into’ lame. We need players we can trust.

  3325. JippiJaYeah says:

    WOW! I’m speechless. Where is he in BB?

  3326. SAPE says:

    Yep, you absolutely all right Jippi! 🙂

  3327. JippiJaYeah says:

    It’s not a shame to be a LAME. 😉 (TALK TALK)

  3328. SAPE says:

    I agree with Jippi too. I have some conflict with her. First she asked me she could join the clan, and the same game he call me Noob…. I don’t know why told it. I am not Noob, I am LAME…. 🙂
    A LAME is a LAME, everywhere, everytime.

  3329. SAPE says:

    If we would play clan TDM, we could use the same model, I think. Just remember the elevator mans. 🙂
    And it would be a good strategy too. The opponents don’t know who it is, Jippi, Biondo, or some other…. I think it would be advantageous.

  3330. Biondo says:

    Rosi is still waiting a reply to his/her comment (http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/about-us/members/#comment-438). JesseJames, I think that you should write him/her an answer.

  3331. Biondo says:

    Thank you Sape. About the models (poncho, girls, …): it’s not always true that the whole team uses the same model.
    About the red cross: with picmip 9 you see a transparent white/pink square.
    I think it’s only a matter of get used to wait before shooting.

  3332. SAPE says:

    And in TDM there are a lot of extra strategy. I like it, and I think you would like it too.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdGFJH4XR0s&feature=related

    P.s.: You would see the red X on the cross-hairs in the video.

  3333. SAPE says:

    Biondo, is it help if the friends use same player, for example one team use character with poncho, the other use character without poncho, or boys vs girls? 🙂
    I tried this server too. When I aimed one of my friend, my cross-hairs changed a red X. I don’t know how does it work in picmic 9.

  3334. Biondo says:

    I played TDM yesterday in Nargajunas. I like it, and the server has a good ping.

    The only problem is that I often shoot my friends 🙁
    I’m too used to DM and also picmip 9 doesn’t help in distinguishing allied from opponents.
    This is one of the reasons why I don’t play BR.

    Anyway we can try.

  3335. SAPE says:

    Hi All!

    In the front of this page Zap talked about TDM.
    Yesterday I talked about TDM with Jippi. He said it would be funny start to train TDM. I agree.
    What is your opinion about it?

  3336. Biondo says:

    Nice idea to create this page, Jippi.

    About Rosi I agree with you. Moreover GUNS clan is not one of my favourites, talking about good behaviour.

  3337. JippiJaYeah says:

    First of all we got a request from Rosi aka wR”Skylla, wR”Scylla, Rosi, >P!NK

  3338. JippiJaYeah says:

    Nice, thx! 😉

    Btw, did i told, that i saw John Wayne at Old Tucon/Arizona/USA,
    maybe 20 years ago. Ok, it was his brother, but he looks like the real John Wayne.

  3339. SAPE says:

    Jippi, I think, smokin’ guns has some big guns, LAME clan has a big gun. 😉
    This morning I heard an old western soundtrack. Is it tell of you? 🙂

    “He’s the guy who’s the talk of the town with the restless gun don’t shoot broad out to fool him around keeps the varmints on the run, boy keeps the varmints on the run You may think he’s a sleepy tired guy always takes his time sure I know you’ll be changing your mind when you’ve seen him use a gun, boy when you’ve seen him use a gun He’s the top of the West always cool, he’s the best he keeps alive with his colt 45.”

  3340. Rosi says:

    Hi Lame’s i want to join *LAME* just for Baller- and Specialbude i hope that i can join! 🙂

  3341. ZaPaTa says:

    Back from holidays too. Nice news to read. Welcome back all!

  3342. JesseJames says:

    Hah i’am back from 2 weeks on Holiday. And I missed the lameclan so 🙂 and BB. Nice graphics Biondo.
    HAha september is nearby 🙂 so now I will train a lot so I become good in the clanmatches :).
    And everybody is welcome!

  3343. -=BB=-Bart says:

    I wish to play with you also 😉 Maybe BB and Lame can play together sometimes.

  3344. Nargajuna says:

    Nice work 🙂 Nargajunas Island xD
    RTP was never played… hope to get the TDM Server up again :/

  3345. SAPE says:

    Thanx @spi! I hope you join every clan match in the future.

  3346. hehe, nice. if i’ve got time, i’ll connect, too 🙂

  3347. @spi says:

    np, you are welcome m8
    @spi

  3348. SAPE says:

    Hi Biondo!
    I have a question. If you don’t want to speak about it, don’t answer. I feel that there is some strees between you and Jame$.
    Was something happen between you and Jame$ in the past?

    • Biondo says:

      Well, nothing so important. One day he called me friend, and the next day he repeatedly called me hacker. So I don’t think he is entitled to ask to be friends again 🙂

  3349. @spi says:

    hehehe … i like details and textures in game, reducing is possible by the engine, some guys break it down to symbols, cause its fast and cut down shooting to the essential to hit your opponent ! hmmm ….. however …. i love the the game, how it is, and i want to see all ! while i shot YOU *LAME* guys, or throw my knife in your back …. hehehe 😉
    thnx friends and cu you 😀

    @spi

  3350. JippiJaYeah says:

    It looks like a nuclear armageddon.

    • Biondo says:

      Well, maybe the first half of the video, but sure not the bots’ dance 🙂

      • JippiJaYeah says:

        Thats really great – bots’ river dance?

        BTW: The link: be.electrobel.org is funtastic, great music there. Didn’t know about the link. Thank you!

  3351. SAPE says:

    Yes it is, Biondo. The most caracteristic part of this pistol is the loading lever. You can identify it easily.
    It is a rough replica. ( I am not see this film.)

  3352. JesseJames says:

    Haha funny, indeed I never heard of picmip 9

  3353. Biondo says:

    Thanks Greyman and Sape!
    @Sape, probably you haven’t seen it before because I’m one of the scarce players that use picmip 9. I’ve never met a SG player who likes it in my whole gaming experience.

  3354. SAPE says:

    I have never seen this before. Great video. FUN!!! 🙂

  3355. GREYMAN says:

    Nice video Biondo. I like it. 🙂
    Thank you! Greyman

  3356. Sorry for my late posts… wasn’t around lately. Biondo, you seem to be much younger and fitter at this photo than you say you are! :D:D:D Cooool stuff, as always!

  3357. This should become an official weapon of NuBs instead of those damn Peacemakers! 😀

  3358. SAPE says:

    Ok Biondo. Thanks the help. I admit Gunny knowledge.
    I guess who is the FA player, who insulted you. There is a Hungarian player in FA clan. His name is *>FA<* Ati I think. I had some problem with him too. I haven't got problem with Gunny, he is a frendly person. I don't want to make some conflict between LAME and FA clan. That was the reason, I wrote to you, Biondo. He is not my level. That's it. Thanks the help JJJ too. If you meet Gunny, catch him! 😉

  3359. Biondo says:

    For completeness, I have to say that FA clan is famous for having had well known cheaters among its members (*>FA< *'HypeR, *>FA< *'MarcO, *>FA< *'SataN) Also today, I met a >Fa< member (don't remember the name) that insulted me, without a reason, in a bad way 3 times in 2 minutes, until he got auto-muted by Baller (a Hungarian player 🙁 ). I have no proof against Gunny, and until then I consider him as a wonderful player.

  3360. Biondo says:

    I saw second demo, and I have to confirm what I said. No cheat.
    keep your eyes opened, anyhow.

    @Jippi: I’ve never been called cheater by Gunny, he is always kind with me. But you’re a better player than him, so I almost understand his behaviour 🙁

  3361. Biondo says:

    ok, I saw the first demo (just to be sure).

    Wow, what a great player! Really instructive demo. I’ll never be able to have his prompt reactions and his smart and fast decisions.

    No, no cheat at all. You can see he doesn’t use aimbot (no automatic way to shoot), and no wallhack too (he doesn’t see through walls). Also he made many mistakes, didn’t hear or see opponents, or expected opponents to appear where there was nobody.

    He has a good ping, but that’s not enough. He has prompt reaction times. He uses a lot the weapons that he finds in his way (and he always tests if shotguns are armed or not). He changes often from primary to secondary weapon (Q bind). He knows the map weak points and he knows the average player’s behaviour. He also tries to kill through wood walls when he is sure that a player is hiding there (but with no luck. And this is not wallhack, just a try to get 1 more point).

    I can add that he doesn’t camp and he is able to kill a lot also with cheap weapons.

    Nice player, I can’t say anything else.

  3362. SAPE says:

    Biondo, I have a request.
    Could you see these two demos?
    Fa Gunny… I know I am not the best, it is no problem. I don’t suspect him to cheat… But I play a lot against good fighter, like Doctor, James or you… If he play clear, I admit his knowledge, but I feel something… I talked Greyman, he has the same opinion. Mope played these game too. I like to hear his opinion too.
    You are the most practiced clan member. Your opinion is standard for me.
    Thanx.

    • Biondo says:

      OK, Sape I’ll watch the demos. But not now, I’m too tired.

      When I was admin I almost banned Gunny for cheating, but I was wrong. He doesn’t cheat. And moreover in Baller it’s impossible to cheat.

      Impossible, until someone find a new way of cheating. But Gunny is not interested in finding a new way of cheating, he is already in the top 10.

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      I saw the first demo, and i could’n find anything for cheating.

      Fa. Gunny called me always a cheater or hacker, beacuse i shot him. Strange guy!

  3363. GREYMAN says:

    I like Schofield. It is my favorit gun too, enough strong and fast reload.

  3364. GREYMAN says:

    Accurate information. Nice Sape i waiting a continuation.
    This picture is in this age terrible.

  3365. SAPE says:

    Thanks Biondo.
    I will write more information about bison hunting, when I will write a page about Sharps, because it was a legendary bison hunting rifle.
    Yes, this is a shocking picture nowadays, but I don’t know what we meant about it if we lived on the ages of Wild West. I think they couldn’t size up what they did.

  3366. Biondo says:

    Interesting page, Sape! (Though I’m totally ignorant about real weapons). Well written, and nice photos.
    I also appreciated your reference to “Western legends” 😉
    And talking about bison (or buffalo) hunting I can’t refrain from posting a link to this shocking photo found in Wikipedia

    My first smile is there for today 🙂

  3368. GREYMAN says:

    Thanks guys! We meet in Newtoxn in the pub. This pub is bigger and the whiskey is better there. 🙂

  3369. GREYMAN says:

    Thanks JJJ! Danke für das glückwunsch! 🙂

  3370. ZaPaTa says:

    Another round of dark rum, gringo! I’ll pay. Wait no! I shoot the bartender. Drinks for free!

    Congrats Greyman! Enjoy being father!

  3371. @spi says:

    hehe … if its available ingame, this weapon should improve my suicide stats … we need it in sg ! 😉

  3372. JesseJames says:

    Haha great graphics and idea 🙂
    lol;@zapata

  3373. JesseJames says:

    Congratulations Greyman!!!! (noise of a lot of firework) We can drink a drink in the bar in the map hang em high 😉

  3374. ZaPaTa says:

    Great!
    In fact, the Bot religion demands sacrifices, by casting the innocent body into the fire. Don’t believe me? Throw a molotov, and wait for the ritual to begin!

  3375. Mope says:

    I really don’t get why do you need a front sight on it. The cylinder can be useful for playing Russian Roulette.

  3376. SAPE says:

    🙂
    Nice weapon. Great work.

    Do you know where the best western firearm replicas are made nowadays?

    In Italy.

    http://www.uberti.com/

    http://www.davide-pedersoli.com/

    http://www.euroarms.net/

    The products of these manufacturers are high quality made, reliabe and affordable weapons.

  3377. Biondo says:

    No no, wait! This cannot work well. I can do it better. Tell me only the color you want.

  3378. JippiJaYeah says:

    Looks good, but i need a on a Beach T-Shirt (without arms).
    I will copy your picture and make my try.

  3379. Biondo says:

    Do you really want a T-shirt? If so, get it here:
    http://www.zazzle.co.uk/x_ray_glasses_tshirt-235248424495892067

    I suggest a black t-shirt, because with other colors the image is not OK.

  3380. Biondo says:

    😀 ah ah!

  3381. JippiJaYeah says:

    Heya Greyman, my very big congratulations, and best wishes for you all. How did you done it? 😉

  3382. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you Mope!

  3383. Mope says:

    Congratulations, Greyman! I’ll get a glass of wine too, in your honor!

  3384. GREYMAN says:

    Thank you! We are with Sape drunk. 🙂

  3385. Biondo says:

    Wow!!!
    Great news Greyman. I hope the best for you and your family!

  3386. Biondo says:

    @mope: thanks. Yes, you are right, but I didn’t find a way to express it in a fun way.

    @spi: I know you strongly desired a Baller blog. Now you have it 😉
    This is the *Lame* blog, but since it’s linked in BB page, it’ also a Baller blog.

  3387. GREYMAN says:

    Guys!
    My second daughter was borned today!
    She is 3400 g, and very loud. 🙂

  3388. @spi says:

    your idears for the *LAME* blog are never ending …. unbeliveable

    realy funny i love this site, and always check it for funny news, makes me rofl 🙂

    @spi

  3389. Mope says:

    Great graphics, as always!

    Some more:

    • Bots can’t climb ladders.
    • Bots never use molotovs/dynamites.

    It’s funny to see as sometimes new players try to talk/insult the bot.

  3390. JippiJaYeah says:

    OMG, i can’t stop laughing.

    Can i have it for my next Beachvolley-Shirt?

    • Biondo says:

      😀 Thank you Jippi!
      Yes, I had already in mind to design a T-shirt for SG (or for *Lame*) players.

      Not sure if this poster can fit a T-shirt design, but if you want…
      What do you need (size/resolution of the image)?

  3391. ZaPaTa says:

    I do agree with the fact we are with enough players right now,
    and that we, in the first place, play for fun. We also play as a counterweight against cheaters and new players on BB. I think we make a bit of the ambiance in BB, flavoring it with our challenging way of playing. We also make the atmosphere in BB friendly and fair, and skilled; instead of focusing on competition and being better than other clans.

    On the other hand, I don’t agree with changing recruitment policy. If people still like to join, they mail us and we check them out. Peanuts.
    Sooner or later people will quit *LAME* and we will need a crowd of people of who we know they like to join, so we can pick out a good fellow to replace a skilled friend, you see.

  3392. Mope says:

    cool poster, Biondo!

  3394. JesseJames says:

    Lol @ this page. Nice graphics just like Obama :).
    On topic: You have the right vision like Zapata and I. Our motivation is fun and good/ friendly players. We started with invite people like Biondo, Sape, Mope, Rems Leturand,… And I will keep that, and like the last weeks people ask me if they can join our clan, but they don’t send me a mail, or they are new, we can’t let them join our clan I think.
    Lets wait a bit and see if they are playing a lot, and then we can let them join our clan if we like them.

    But now we are with enough I think?

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, Jesse, half Obama and half AwesomePossum 😀

      About recruitment: probably Jippi is right when he says:

      Maybe we need a slogan “Don’t call us, we call you!”.

      But this means that in SG forum we have to declare that we aren’t recruiting any more, and probably we have to change also the page “Recruitment”.

  3395. SAPE says:

    🙂 Yes, you all rights. There are lames everywhere.

  3396. markus says:

    hehe ….. 😉

    ok, sry 4 my double post, i understand the problem with special cases in web based dnamic php apps, always the same

    best solution is : double peacemake bullets or dynamit 😉

  3399. Dike aka Magician says:

    Well, my comment is late (i am discovering your lovely site step by step), but hopefully it’s not too late to contribute, especially if the topic is dealing with one of my beloved arch-enemies 😀

    there’s so much to mention, regarding
    1. his questionable personality
    2. his choice to use dyna
    3. a way to get him down
    4. the suspicion he uses cheats

    1. shortest part: arrogant and insulting :-p don’t let it bother you. be better 😀
    doppelkupplungsgetriebe seems like the only one who can force him into showing some respect (by being quiet :P).

    2. + 3. as i first met some ‘only dyna’ players, they appeared quite as beyond any imagination of skill – they seemed like semi-gods 😉 here’s the explanation: i just started playing. if you have gathered some experience, it’ll be better.

    imho dynaing isn’t that lame. more online players allow a dynamiter to sometimes kill 2 or more at the same time; on the other hand there are more players to take him down over distances. that’s a good point biondo stated here: tiny, narrow maps give advantage to dynamiters, so they could even be a competition to experienced players. but, to repeat my opinion, it takes a lot of practice in my eyes. It involves some experience, sharpened instinct, a good overview, dodging abilities, and a good sense of hearing to estimate the enemy’s way.
    so, i once (but only once) used the opportunity to spec him. theugly is strong on middle and short distances (as far as his dyna reaches), so try to avoid him there or be sure to hit him :-p
    he is good in dodging your bullets and killin a target he once detected. as far as i can remember, these are his weaknesses: his sort of overview is chiefly bound to his eyes. he often lacks a good hearing, so a better trained dynamiter might knock him off. it maybe sounds pretentious but i always enjoyed tricking him and kicking his ass just by hearing. further on: if not being forced into a duel he moves a bit botlike, i.e. predictable and straight.

    @jessejames: well, he isn’t really used to ‘real’ guns, but has improved his style of playing.

    may i correct u, biondo? 🙂
    in my eyes those who use dyna traps aren’t pro, they are cowards waiting in a corner till someone comes around. then i reply something like ‘wow, so skillful’ etc. 😉
    idk if one of you is about to write a lamerick for it, but if there’s one some day, tell me :-p

    4. i guess it’s quite natural for theugly’s thrown dyna to hit the head. maybe thedoctor already helped out here, explaining the hitzones etc. – idk what he told you guys 🙂 but on middle distance it’s thrown on height of the head i assume.

    best regards,
    have a nice summer, guys,

    Dike/Magician

    PS: may i participate for fun in some of your next tournaments? it’d be some kind of honour for me. i am curious how you are playing at the moment 😉
    PPS: it’s just an idea that came to my mind while writing this comment, but: what about doing some fun TDM against wR” in autumn?! i guess it’s a neat opportunity to strengthen the friendship between our clans 😀

    • Biondo says:

      Hi Magician! First of all: can you tell me why your clan (nice!) site is devoted to circus world (just something I’m curious of)? What originated this passion?

      Now the answers to your extensive — and informative! — comment.

      “doppelkupplungsgetriebe seems like the only one who can force him into showing some respect”: maybe because Doppel is a Baller admin??

      “imho dynaing isn’t that lame”: you are right of course.

      Let apart the behaviours (like camping), there are 4 weapons considered “lame” in SG. 2 cheap and 2 expensive: knives, dyna, sawed-off shotguns and Gatling guns. No one among them is lame. All of them need some skill.
      Dyna gives you ‘cheap dollars’, so that, after having used dyna (even in the case that ‘you blew yourself’) you get some money to spend in colts or whatever. Sometimes I use it in the beginning of a match, when I enter the game in the middle (this happens 80% of the times) or near the end, when I’m tired. And I remember that some nice players began their career in SG as dyna specialists (Jippi??). Dyna is legal, and to learn how to use it well can be a real skill. [I never learnt]. Moreover, when you have a bad ping, dyna and shotgungs give you some more chances. Still, when combined with a bad behaviour, it’s really irritating. ‘Lon too use dyna a lot, but he is a fun player… and it’s an honour to be exploded by ‘Lon’s dynamites 🙂

      “so, i once (but only once) used the opportunity to spec him.”: I watched some TheUgly’s demos to find a proof he was cheating, and didn’t find anything. I scanned the whole web for a “new” cheat … but nothing. He is only a true experienced dyna specialist.

      “in my eyes those who use dyna traps aren’t pro, they are cowards”: sometimes they are “pros”, believe me. But it was just an example.

      “maybe thedoctor already helped out here”: yes he helped:

      there is a strong correspondence between use of dynamites and headshots, e.g. compare:
      http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=medal&fname=pro_medal_dynamite
      http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=medal&fname=pro_medal_head_hunter
      It seems, if you throw a dynamite and it hits multiple parts of your opponent’s body including the head, the kill is counted as a headshot

      “may i participate for fun in some of your next tournaments?”: You are welcome!! We’ll loose, but OK. It’s nice to play with you. And sometimes you’ll meet @spi, SNH, Donut, Smile, and other players too.

      “what about doing some fun TDM against wR” in autumn?”: maybe I’m not so masochist as you could think 😛

  3400. SAPE says:

    Hi.
    There is a player named (LAME)PROoO.

    He is new guy.

    http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=710&config=0

    What do you think? He use our clan name…..
    Can we do something, or do we want to do something?

    • Biondo says:

      It’s not exactly our clan-name, it’s written “(LAME)”. We should probably accept the fact that we aren’t the only Lames around 🙂

  3401. SAPE says:

    Biondo. It is great idea. 🙂
    AwesomePossum played a lot in BB, she played fair, not insult athors…. 🙂
    I like your style Biondo!
    About your question.
    I agree your opinion. Our clan played just for fun, not for the good stat, or for the medals, I think. I remembered that, when you invited me to join the clan.
    In my opinion, we should amend recruitment menu. We should write something like that:
    Play hard, and fair, and we will invite you, if your style is similar the clan rules.

  3402. @spi says:

    lol … i hate this b…h, maybe i love here,
    it´s like love and hate the *LAME* guys 😉

    as mentioned, it is not possible 4 a BB team member to join a sg clan, cause we are independent of that claning things ! …….. but our sympahties are ……. for ….. 🙂

    chears

    • Biondo says:

      Sorry @spi your comments are always thrown in the spam folder (maybe because of the @ in your name).

  3403. Biondo says:

    He got some warnings in Baller for bad language (but nothing serious). He is registered in Baller since the 15th of June…

    Nothing else. I suggest to wait.

  3404. Biondo says:

    Don’t know this guy. But let me search.

  3405. SAPE says:

    Hi all!
    Do you know something about -SX-BLACK?
    I played with him. He asked that: Can I join the clan?
    I said: Send a mail to Jesse.
    He: I haven’t got mail adress, please tell him. (?)
    I: Ok. Go to the Lameclan.tk. and write him.
    He: Please tell him. Please please…..

    It is strange..

  3406. SAPE says:

    I agree the September. More Lames, more fun. 🙂

  3407. SAPE says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fp3XEgDV0o

    This is a good video about the Remington model 1858.
    I hope you enjoy it.

  3408. JesseJames says:

    Wow SNH is realy good,.
    @biondo it’s a good idea that the next clanmatch at the end of the summer is.

  3409. Donut says:

    Really nice to see that you guys voted for my maps 😀 Maybe there will come another one by time ( I only have to finch my exams) but i don’t have any good ideas jet.

  3410. Biondo says:

    Scores:

     

     

    SNH was a surprise 🙂
    I updated the total scores, I hope I made it right (Biondo 3 points, Sape 1.5 points).
    I think this was the last clan deathmach we played before summer holidays, because too many Lames are away. If you all agree, see you in September for next clan deathmatch.

  3411. ZaPaTa says:

    We merge the pages now together? what do you think? ‘History of the Remington’ under SG Weapons?

  3412. ZaPaTa says:

    Well done!

  3413. ZaPaTa says:

    Ah, seems like I’m not the only one who can’t be there. I have a meeting within some minutes. But,
    Have fun mates, and score some point!
    Cheers

  3414. Mope says:

    Sorry, I can’t make it neither. See you next time!

  3415. SAPE says:

    Hi!
    I have some question. I think a lot before I ask it.
    Rems… I haven’t got any information about him. I didn’t see him in the blog, or the clan deathmeatch… I have not problem with him, but you know, he is a little bit stranger, I think.
    I don’t want to injure him.
    So Rems, if you read it, please write some information about yourself.

  3416. SAPE says:

    I will be there today, and Greyman will be there too.

  3417. JippiJaYeah says:

    Tomorrow i’m out too – playing Beachvolleyball.
    Have nice fun guys.

  3418. JesseJames says:

    Damn i can not play tomorrow 🙁 My first dj set :).
    Grrr no points for me tomorrow 🙁

  3419. @spi says:

    cu @ tijuana & station

  3420. Mope says:

    OK, no problem, good decision.

  3421. GenDago says:

    Nice work Biondo,
    can i use it for a texture?

  3422. @spi says:

    i love the lame blog site !!!!!

    chears @spi

  3423. SAPE says:

    Thanx all the good comment. 🙂 I am very glad. I think I can write a text every weekend.

  3424. Mope says:

    Agreed, Biondo. Nothing is secret in those “weapons” pages. Let’s make them public!

  3425. ZaPaTa says:

    Very nice SAPE. can’t wait for the rest.
    Just a thought, but we should link the pages with the how- to -use these weapons IN GAME with the pages with historical detailed information, no?

    • Biondo says:

      Zapata, the problem is that “Weapons” in private area are private pages. If you want I make them all public (comments included) and I change the menus so that they appear in public area (this is what I proposed some times ago).

      I think that a private area has sense for us only in few cases (for instance when we have to decide if accepting a new member). The more we make this site public, the more visitors we have. The more visitors we have, the more fun and useful is the site. There is no real secret we can post here 🙂

  3426. Mope says:

    SAPE, thanx for your comprehensive answer. Things become much more clear now. Even good weapons become obsolete, that’s sad.

  3427. SAPE says:

    Hi Mope.
    I answer your question.
    The Remington Model 1858 was an percussion revolver. It worked with powder and ball, or paper cartridge with conical bullet. The Schofield (manufactured since 1870) and the Peacemaker (manufactured since 1873) worked with metal cartridge.
    So in the ages of Peacemaker, and Schofield, the Remington model 1858 was an old-fashioned revolver.
    The advantages and disadvantages were correlated to other revolvers, that worked the same technical parameters, for example the Colt Dragoon.
    Remington model 1858 was one of the best revolver on the ages of the American Civil War, the other two were designed more than ten years later.

  3428. ZaPaTa says:

    Well done, very nice. I love the quotes 😀
    Making screenshots and edit them in Photoshop gives me some great ideas to work with. Hope to post something soon too. Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers!

  3429. GREYMAN says:

    Mope, maybe Remmington is a black powder gun, scofield and peacemaker not.

  3430. JesseJames says:

    Tnx I will look it up. such a movies are great in vacation with a little drink in the hand,… Great, I like vacation 🙂

  3431. Biondo says:

    Jesse, how was your exam? Good?

    Well, apart from Sergio Leone’s movies (always the best classic!) and True Grit, I liked these recent ones:

    – 3:10 to Yuma
    – Unforgiven

  3432. JesseJames says:

    Nice Biondo. Now it’s more clear and more structure than before.

  3433. JesseJames says:

    It is good that their is such a program that looks for cheaters in BB.

  3434. JesseJames says:

    Nice Sape, a lot of information.
    Oh BTW: yesterday they selled a colt.38 of AL CAPONE for 75000 Euro’s.

  3435. JesseJames says:

    @biondo Now i have vacation I will look a few westernmovies like the good the bad the ugly, this film,… Have you got suggestions for other good movies?

  3436. Mope says:

    Please, proceed.

    Sape, according to your description Remington was a nice piece, so why in SG it’s a worst weapon?

  3437. GREYMAN says:

    Nice Sape!

  3438. Biondo says:

    Nice page, Sape! Quite informative.
    I can’t wait for the next weapon!

  3439. JesseJames says:

    Hahah genius!!! The amount of blood between True and cheat is very nice 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      TY, Jesse. But I’m not the genius… geniuses are those who made the true “True Grit” movie (Coen brothers). Follow the links at the bottom of the post to see original billboards and movie infos.
      I strongly recommend this “True Grit” (Also to those who, like me, don’t like Coen brothers movies).

  3440. Mope says:

    Yeehaw! I love it! The models on the poster look very dramatic! Ms. Possum is beautiful and young as always.

    • Biondo says:

      Ms. Possum, beautiful?? 😀

      To take the photos of the gunsligers I had to force my son SNH to pose in different dresses in Canyon 🙂
      BTW: he contributed to image editing too.

  3441. JippiJaYeah says:

    Very good idea, ZaPaTa!

  3442. Biondo says:

    Eh eh, ty Zapata.

  3443. ZaPaTa says:

    Yep Biondo, that’s why *LAME* stands up for fair play.
    I ‘hate’ cheaters too, and the ban on them in BB is a very nice thing. No suprise this time.

    I added a ‘P bind’ in my config file, feel free to copy it, all *LAME* members:

    bind p “say ^1*^4LAME^1*^4clan is about fairplay. Visit ^1lameclan.tk ^4to improve your skills in a fair way!”

    Not sure if we can stay doing this on BB, since it’s a very easy way to promote the site too. Might start to look like spam. But in the meantime…;)

    Cheers.
    A dedicated Zap

  3444. SAPE says:

    Oh, I forget something. The map is Eboa Beta 1.0.

    • Biondo says:

      Eboa? Eh eh, to be honest, the worst map I’ve ever seen 😀 or at least tie with Tombstone.

  3445. SAPE says:

    Hi Biondo!
    I played Terra Nova some minutes ago on my own. I practice the new map, you know. I played two or three map, when BB Bart log in. Call vote a map, that he created. We played a track. He as good as I am. I think, he isn’t cheating now, but I think this was just tactics.
    I think you all right about him and Morgan.
    Anyway his map not bad. Very simple, and a little bit bright, and the graphics is not to good, but a very fast map.

  3446. JesseJames says:

    Indeed great game, and points for me :). Maybe we can play on a new map in a few weeks?
    btw:SNH is not bad at all, Biondo.

  3447. SAPE says:

    It was fun! 🙂
    Thanx the game.

  3448. Mope says:

    Who was -snh-?

  3449. ZaPaTa says:

    Damn I was behind again the whole time. I have to rethink my tactics I think. Maybe I record next match next week and post the demo here for some review?

  3450. Biondo says:

    Ok 🙂

  3451. Donut says:

    I tried to connect server times but the island was to small for there natives. 🙂

  3452. Biondo says:

    3.rd deathmatch was fun alot 🙂 with all these elevator men playing around. Zapata as a confederated 🙂 and Jippie on his own (of course).
    Thanks to @spi for joining (when will you join Lame clan, @spi? We are waiting for you).
    It’s a pity that Donut couldn’t play with us… next time.

    Screenshots:

  3453. JesseJames says:

    Wow nice union soldier :). I will let zapata look for the settings :).My knowledge of put things in the console is not so great :).
    He looks very nice.

    • Biondo says:

      Jesse, you don’t have to use the console. Put the file civil_war_soldiers.pk3 in \Documents and settings\USERNAME\Application data\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\ (where USERNAME is the name of your Windows user).

      In Smokin’Guns preferences you’ll find the new model.
      No console, Jesse.

  3454. Donut says:

    yes my models aren’t the best, but it the same like mapping my fist maps are also very very very very ugly 😀 Maybe I will make better looking new models (like the scarecrow) by time. But I think it’s the best for me is at the Gtk editor 😀

    If i find some time I will join in for a few rounds. I still haven’t tested Ghost Town with more than 3 players.

    Btw. Biondo nice panting skills ;D and nice website

    • Biondo says:

      Ah ah, Donut! We made some jokes with your Union soldier, but I’m sure that you know we all appreciate your maps very much (also because we play on them in our weekly clan deathmatch). I particularly love Ghost Town.

      Thanks for your compliments and congrats again!

  3455. @spi says:

    omg … if i would not forced to do other things, i decide to join the LAME party 🙂 …. just for fun !

    chears @spi

  3456. Mope says:

    Those funny models with their faces of horror are going to be so fun when there will be crowds of them tomorrow on TN !

    Biondo, thnx for being so helpful. You leave no excuse for players with technical problems, not to participate in our masquerade!

  3457. Biondo says:

    For those of you who don’t have a Civil War dress ready for the party, here is the link:
    ftp://ftp.loop8.net/smokinguns/smokinguns/

    Download civil_war_soldiers.pk3 and put it in your SG directory. This means:

    * Linux: ~/.smokinguns/smokinguns/
    * Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/SmokinGuns/smokinguns/
    * Windows: %APPDATA%\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\
    [- under Windows XP it expands to \Documents and settings\username\Application data\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\
    – under Windows Vista or Windows 7, it expands to \Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\]

    [I hope that Donut doesn’t take it bad… but his maps are wonderful, his player models are horrible 🙂 I understand where he got the idea of a Ghost Town :D]

  3458. ZaPaTa says:

    in the afternoon, yes. So I’ll be there in the evening, will be fun!

  3459. JesseJames says:

    If you will have a nickname you can say it here 🙂

  3460. JesseJames says:

    Ok nice idea for me 🙂 I will be there! My last examen is tomorrow so then it’s vacation 🙂
    BTW: ZaPaTa can not play tomorrow (he told me that yesterday, if his plans not change 🙂 ). He go to a restaurant with his work colleagues.

  3461. Biondo says:

    Sape, I understand your idea of individual albums (galleries).
    I think this could be done (for Posts, not for Pages) using the “categories” system. You see, when you create a new post, you can assign to it one or more categories, that will appear under the content of the post. For example, if you click the category “Graphics” you get all posts with that category, and only those.

    We can create as many categories we want (for example: “Sape”, “Biondo”, …) and we can cross the categories (for example “Sape + Graphics”) to filter the posts in whatever way we want. Maybe there is also some nice WordPress plugin ready for this.

    In future we can add a “widget” (a box like those of “Links”, “Who’s Online”,…) to the right column, so to make it very easy to navigate through categories.

  3462. SAPE says:

    I have some problem with my SG update, but probably I will be there intime.

  3463. SAPE says:

    Thany the advice Biondo. You all right. I don’t want to post private details. I know the risk of it. I think some album. There are very good graphics in the blog, and i wish it would be more and more. My idea: for example: Biondo’s album. And if you open it, you would be look that image, that Biondo uploaded, like Biondo’s inferno. Or Zapata’s album, and his works be in the some places. Or my album with firearms. It would be easy to use, I think.
    Sorry, I drew false.

    Thanx the interest in my idea, the western firearms. 🙂
    I am very glad of it. I start the writing in the weekend. The “Old West” is a cool name. 🙂

  3464. Biondo says:

    Thank you @spi!

    I see that in @spi’s list the commands are preceded by 2 exclamation marks. I thought this was a “secret” feature of BallerBude, used only by administrators, and so I didn’t mention it. Clearly it isn’t so. Explanation:

    – 1 Exclamation mark: the command you type is displayed in chat, visible to all other players
    – 2 Exclamation marks: the command you type is NOT displayed in chat.

    At least this is how the thing worked some months ago.

  3465. @spi says:

    an official list can be find here :

    http://bb.game-host.org/b3help.html

  3466. Biondo says:

    Nice nice nice graphics! 😀
    It’s OK, for me. to play as a Union soldier.

  3467. Biondo says:

    Sape, you have 3 possibilities:

    1) publish a regular Post, and make it private (it doesn’t appears in menu, it’s a normal post in homepage, only visible to clan members and invisible to others)
    2) publish a Comment here in “Personal interests”, upload the photo creating a fake post that you don’t save, then edit it so you can add the photo (it’s not simple, maybe some HTML knowledge is required)
    3) make a Page in the Secrets submenu

    Instructions here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/

    If you need help, please ask me.

    Let me add a general advice: for privacy reasons it’s better you don’t post too many real-life private details in Internet (not even in private areas) 😉 But of course you can ignore it.

  3468. SAPE says:

    I have an other idea, but I don’t know it would be possible, or what is your opinion.
    In the secret area, it would be a menu or something, where we would upload some personal photos. For example, i have an 60 years old shotgun (my grandfather hunted with it, it s look like Remington 12 in SG) and I would like to show it to you.
    It would make the blog more private.
    It’s just an idea.

  3469. Biondo says:

    Yep, it works 🙂
    What I use more is !alias (or !aliases, it’s the same) to know the real identity of a good player playing in disguise.
    I forgot to advice you… don’t try administrative commands in BallerBude (the complete list of B3 commands is in Internet) because you’d probably get a warn: “Don’t use commands that you don’t know!”.

  3470. Mope says:

    Biondo, you are real endless reservoir of information. I’ve tested some commands today and… it works!

  3471. JesseJames says:

    Ok it’s good to know that if you shoot at a person with dyna he explode when you shot him in his hands. I will never do that with the Ugly and Nerman.
    tnx to the Doctor to answer our question.

  3472. JesseJames says:

    Oh cool that you will do that, after you are ready with writing will you post your text on this forum?
    What I like in this game is that you use real firearms, so no problem at all. And it’s cool to know new things about the weapons .
    PS: @Greyman,congratulations with the new kid (when he is born 😉 ).

    @Sape Hungary looks a very nice country for nature and cities like Boedapest,…

    @biondo lol to your story 🙂
    Nice to see so much comments to our site. 🙂

    I have a question.
    One of my favorite free time activity is reading. My favorite theme is the Wild west, especially the western firearms.
    I don’t know your mark of knowledge in this topic. But I would write some more interesting information about that real firearms, that we use in SG, and if you interesting in this theme, I will write some entry about other legendary western firearms, like hawken, Kentucky rifle, Henry carbine, etc.
    I am new member, so I am concerned your opinion.

    • Biondo says:

      Nice Sape, when you’ll be ready we’ll create a new voice of menu. For example “Old West”. I’d like that this new section could be visible to everybody, and not only to clan members. Sure, it will be very interesting, and this blog will grow faster.
      Only be careful in the use of images protected by copyright (or at least cite the source).

  3474. SAPE says:

    Hey, Mope!
    Would you like to come back Hungary in the Future? I am good travel guide. 🙂
    And of corse, I invite all LAME clan members to my country, my hometown.

    • Mope says:

      Wow, thanks a lot, next time I come to Hungary, I’ll be glad to drink a couple of Unicum shots with you! It’s nice to have friends all around the globe.

  3475. Biondo says:

    Nice to hear from you Jippi!
    I want to be sentimental tonight… I remember the first time I met you. I was playing since one month or two, and in the middle of the game you started talking to Doc in German language. I didn’t understand what you were saying, so I spectated and abused of Google translate.
    I learnt you are a software engineer (in Windows environment, is it true?) and something else.
    When Doc saw I was spectating for such a long time, he kicked me (he thought that I was spying his moves and communicating them to his opponent).
    I protested and protested again, and again, and again. Then Doc asked me if wanted to become administrator in BallerBude.

    I am 10 years older than you, Jippi 🙂

    • JippiJaYeah says:

      Sorry Biondo, i didn’t saw your posting.
      I think we started playing SG at the same time and I know you as the sawed off dude – now you are good with the coltmaker. 😉
      I’m sorry, when i was talking to TheDoc in german language, but i was easier for me. TheDoc is living in my old home town – now 180km from my new home town away. He is a smart guy.
      Yes, i’m a software engineer (Windows, Linux and now Android).
      I was wondering that you become a admin in BB – but i think it was a good idea from doc. Yes, i know your no admin anymore.

      You are 10 years older – man, you are sooooooooo old. 😉

  3476. JippiJaYeah says:

    Well done, now its time to introduce me: My name is Matthias, 42 years old, from Germany, and i’m a software engineer.
    Most of times i do sports (Volleyball, Beachvolleyball, running, swimming, bicycling).

  3477. JippiJaYeah says:

    Strange are the theUgly Hitzones: About 16100 Headshots with Dyna.

  3478. Biondo says:

    Ah ah 😀 Really fun.
    Many players, still think that I’m administrator in BallerBude (and they probably think that also other *LAME* members are involved… we are also linked back from BB site, after all!).
    Tell them I’m not admin any more (since January).

    It’s true that when I see somebody insulting other players I ask him to behave well. But this has nothing to do with an admin role.

  3479. Biondo says:

    Well, if you shoot at the dyna he has in his hand, that dyna explodes. So it’s nothing strange. Some pro players use dyna in this way: as traps. They put dyna in the ground where they are sure somebody will step, and when you are near it they shoot at it.

    Sometimes I had the impression there is something strange in this guy… you shoot and shoot and he never dies. But there is no known cheat that could explain this. Probably just a smart way of moving and avoiding to be shoot and a boiler plate.

  3480. ZaPaTa says:

    I always focus on him!…It’s fun too from time to time. A strange relation between us…hehe. But it’s true he ruins the game for a lot of players, because his tactics works better once a game is full of players.

    A thing I wonder about…when he gets killed, sometimes he ‘explodes’…just like his dyna was just at the same second ready to explode. But it happens so often I wonder about that timing. You shoot him and the same second he BOOOMS.sometimes game after game…Is this ‘real’? Didn’t he mess with some code or something. You know I haven’t a clue about cheating but it smells sometime you see.

  3481. ZaPaTa says:

    wow, heavy talk.
    In case one wonders, I’m not an atheist, more of a humanist and an apophatic agnostic. Taking thinks partly from rastafarianism and buddhism. I’m dealing a lot with philosophy too.
    well Mope, I never really thought there were atheists in Israel. I didn’t asked you before because I was afraid to ask.
    I also didn’t know of the Bahai in Israel…Is it firm there? I’m interested in it, read a bit of it before.
    Cheers!

  3482. Mope says:

    Jesse, we could already tell it from your email. 😉

    Sape, I’m looking right now at the small round empty bottle of Unicum, remembering the wonderful trip to Hungary. But my favorite passion is for Tokaji wine. Really sad, that’s here in Israel it’s too expensive.

    And, oh we have something in common – Hungarian is also kind of secret language (like Hebrew), that nobody understands, except locals 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Yes, I remember Unicum!

      About Tokaji, do you know we had a wine called Tocai in Italy? Italy lost a trademark fight against Hungary for the use of the name, and now Italian Tocai is called Friulano 🙂
      But they are different wines, it was just a matter of names.

  3483. JesseJames says:

    Oh my real name is Ward , maybe that is interesting 🙂

  3484. JesseJames says:

    LOl, indeed it’s so frustrating to play with him. GRRR. We (Zapata and I) tried everything. But last Sunday he played with ‘real’ weapons and then he was not so good :). And he couldn’t say anything because he insulted an other player. SO it was so relaxed, and we won :). We tried to bully him a little bit whit phrases like: ‘lame’, go else,… but that didn’t help.
    So buy a shirpsrifle and blow him up with the gun. 🙂

  3485. JesseJames says:

    Oh I forgot that Bart, I will look for that so fast as possible.
    But I go on vacation that week so for me it’s impossible to play. But my teammates will maybe play. I will aske it to them

  3486. Biondo says:

    So Greyman and me have something in common: I’m a librarian too (though my work is now mostly webdesign).

  3487. -=BB=-Bart says:

    Hello *LAME* Clan.

    Now you have 8 members, isn’t it able that you will have a team with 4 guys?
    I can write in 1 team with all members you have also. No problem.
    And congratulation for the new guys. 🙂

    Bart

  3488. SAPE says:

    Grat work Biondo. And very insructive too. There are some typical SG players, like Dynamit Maniacs, like Ugly.
    But after I read it, I make some self-examination. I think, these fault are parts of our personality.
    I play straight, I think, and you, my clan mates are play straight too.
    But sometimes I have a bad day, or something, or somebody(in SG usually an mexican with some dyna in his hand 🙂 ) annoy me. I think you know this feeling. 9 times of 10, I log out this server, and go back later or find an other server to play. But when I go mad, I stay there, and play angry, and a shoot him when he reborn or writeing….
    What is your opinion about it?
    Is there good (white), bad (black) personality, or just lightgrey, and darkgrey?

    Nice work Biondo. Thanx.

    • Biondo says:

      Of course nobody is perfect! Talking about the “dynamite man” that everybody love 😉 … it happened to me to insult him. In the same way sometimes I killed somebody chatting or just respawned. This is normal, I think.

      What is depicted in graphics are abstract categories or players obsessively devoted to a particular kind of unfair/annoying game. I think that the most part of SG players (and particularly those in BallerBude) are nice players to meet.

  3489. SAPE says:

    Becouse Greyman english knowledge not the best, he ask me to write some information about him.
    It is not complicated, becouse since 1998 he is my friend. 🙂
    So, His name is Balazs Szabo. From Hungary, Kaposvar. (I live the same town too.)He is married. His qualification is librarian, but he works as a surgeon’s mate. He has a doughter, and his secound child will born soon. (likely this week.) 🙂
    He is an archer like i am. He like dogs very much, and he read very much in his freetime and of corse, play SG.

  3490. SAPE says:

    Some information about me.

    My name is Peter Sara. I am from Hungary. I am 31 years old. I am an agriculture engineer. I work in the Hungarian Civil Service.
    I divorced in 2010. I have a doughter.
    In my freetime, I archering, touring with my dog, and of corse, play SG. :).
    Beyond that, I read a lot, mainly historical books.
    I like everything in connection with western. (western firearms, clothes (I have western boots, cowboy hat, western belt, etc…) country music… 🙂

  3491. Mope says:

    Oh, Biondo, sorry. There were no intentions to make fun of religion. I live inside 3-religions society (not including Bahaism), where people are very vulnerable to every innocent comment about faith. So maybe, as an atheist, I’ve became too cynical in this matter. Please, forget this clumsy phrase, I promise to be more delicate next time (in all religion-related discussions).

    • Biondo says:

      No no 🙂 I’m atheist too (or at least agnostic) … no problem. This was not the point.

  3492. Biondo says:

    Eh eh, thanks for comments! OK, nobody is perfect, I know 😉
    From the point of view of an Italian, what I find strange in your comments is that all of you consider Dante’s Inferno as something related to religion/faith (“Forgive me father” … “I sin from time to time” … “Let’s pray for me”). Well, in some way it is of course (this is the plot), but it was more of a moral-and-political opera in Dante’s mind. Maybe it’s because we study “La Divina Commedia” at school, but no Italian (not even catholics) thinks of it as a sacred text.
    Sorry, don’t want to teach anything, just a talk among friends.

  3493. JesseJames says:

    Lol what a graphics like usual.
    @zapata our quest to reform the sinners will be a great success 🙂
    The dyna guys are so frustrated,and that makes me so….. :).
    Oh father lets pray for me so that I become a devout man. 🙂

  3494. ZaPaTa says:

    hé guys, no hard feelings about the match.
    It was great fun, felt a bit like going to classes anyway, but we’re always motivated and it’s great to play with you all. I love the spirit and I play really for fun. Points are fun too, but not essential for my play…I like the way *LAME* is going, like the growing site and comments, more nice players are joining…Thanks so far, we’ll link up very soon in BB!

  3495. ZaPaTa says:

    eheh very funny as usual. Loving it and I recognize every type of it. Although I sin from time to time too, mostly in a reaction to another sinner :D, especially the dynamite maniacs…Forgive me, but my flesh and skills are so weak father 🙂

  3496. Mope says:

    Forgive me father Biondo, for I have sinned. I thought, I’m an honest player, but now I doubt it a lot. I’m preparing to go deep, through all the circles of Hell you described here. Great infographics, and fun, as always.

  3497. Sape says:

    Thanx the welcoming. 🙂

    Your friends:

    Sape and Greyman

  3498. Mope says:

    Welcome, indeed! Happy to see you here and *LAME*!

  3499. Biondo says:

    A big welcome to SAPE and GREYMAN!

  3500. Mope says:

    Thnx for compliments, guys. Yep, JJ, you’re on the right ).
    Biondo, no problem, you have permanent permission to edit my posts, I know, you have only good intentions, for the site better appearance and usability!

  3501. JesseJames says:

    Oh I’am too tired today 🙂
    Sorry MOPE, GREAT job for the collage. 🙂

    @biondo tnx for activate the adresses.

  3502. Biondo says:

    “Haha nice collage Biondo”. It’s Mope’s work, Jesse! 🙂

  3503. JesseJames says:

    Haha nice collage Biondo. Lol am I the man with the Winchester on the right side? 😉
    Indeed the two guys that started the clan are bad in the clanwar :). But my revenge will be sweet next week :). (without problems or other things 🙂 )
    But yesterday JYY was outstanding!

  3504. Biondo says:

    Ah, OK. A well composed collage!
    Forgive me, Mope, I added a “Graphics” category to your post. Maybe some day (when the blog will be bigger) we’ll add a simple way to browse it through categories (or tags) and maybe some one will find it useful. Of course you are free to remove it or to add new categories.

  3505. Mope says:

    Nope, Biondo. That’s just a collage of Lego figures from 3 different sources.

  3506. Biondo says:

    Eh eh 🙂
    Of course, no problem duplicating infos here. It’s nice to have a public area too!

    Mope, maybe a stupid question, but… did you shoot the photo too (I mean that of Legos)??

  3507. Mope says:

    OK, all fixed, Biondo. I’ve completely forgot Zapata has created this nice and informative “Clan Deathmatch Scoring” page. My apologies for duplicating information. The only excuse I see, is that this post is published in public area, and it gives our guests some piece of information about thriving clan life. As to collage – you’ve guessed wrong. I think, you are the sheriff on the left. Two brothers on the right, I’m with Remington shtgun, right to you. JJY in the entrance, of course. And the two non-members, as barman and guy near the window are also represented here )).

  3508. Biondo says:

    Eh eh, fun work Mope! In the spirit of the blog. I suppose I’m the one on the right side of the photo (“Too young to die”) 🙂

    To Zapata and Jesse: I’m sure you didn’t take it bad, and one of the next times you’ll get your revenge.

    To JippieJaYeah: Congrats, Pro player as always!

    Mope, probably you should add a column to the score table, “Rounds played”, as I did here: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/clan-deathmatch-scoring/, because not all members played 2 matches.

  3509. JippiJaYeah says:

    Big thx for taken picture.
    I was a little bit confused about all the new maps for me.

  3510. Biondo says:

    No sure if they should be posted here or elsewhere, but here are the scores (of course with r_picmip 9):

  3511. JesseJames says:

    OK, hopely I win 1 game a kind of revenge by last week. And hopely that the girlfriend of ZaPaTa don’t come this evening. 🙂
    I wish you all a nice game guys.
    BTW: a nice cartoon!

  3512. JesseJames says:

    Hah YYY nice to see you here, can you play thursday with our deadmatch clanwar?

  3513. JippiJaYeah says:

    Yeaha!

    Good idea for the Jingeld Jackeroo with Joy Juice!

    Very funny

    Awesome work, Biondo.

  3514. @spi says:

    omg… i am realy falling from the chair and roling throught the room laughing ! amazing !

    thats why we (doc) link and trust you guys, go on BIG “B” we are hungry for such funny blogs and pics !

    lovely regards
    @spi

  3515. ZaPaTa says:

    Very nice, and funny to find comments of Doppel and SAPE.
    Biondo you – R stands for…- Rock it 🙂

  3516. Biondo, you are endlessly amusing! 🙂
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. It is nice to know that you sometimes think of double clutch gearbox, I mean Doppelkupplungsgetriebe. 😀

  3517. Biondo says:

    Thank you Sape! Thank you Mope, and Jesse!
    I was a little hesitant to post this. First, because I feel it as a bit personal, and second because I didn’t have enough ideas (and English language knowledge) to accomplish what I had in mind.
    I miss Doc’s imagination. Probably you can’t suspect it, knowing him as a “Tech savvy”, but Doc has great creative ideas… we were a sort of “Creative couple”, he had the ideas and I realized them. And @spi was a really encouraging manager in this (I told you … this is a nostalgic alphabet).

  3518. JesseJames says:

    Wow it’s nice biondo very great. 🙂
    And very funny 🙂

  3519. Mope says:

    Wow, Biondo! Incredible! I love it!

  3520. Sape says:

    :))))
    Great!!!!!!!!!

  3521. -=BB=-Bart says:

    Don’t forget it’s for fun. We give very much work in the cup and then we are happy when there are many teams.
    But speak over it, I am sure you will be there 🙂
    Bart

  3522. ZaPaTa says:

    Owkay, fair point. Jabber it is!

  3523. Biondo says:

    I’m not able to play and follow a chat 🙁
    But I have to say I tried to put a chat here (Mope remembers) it was sooo slow to be totally unuseful (this isn’t a fast host). Jabber is 100 times faster.

  3524. Biondo says:

    If you choose to stay still, crouch! Crouching saves a lot of lives. Also when you reload your weapons… crouch. Crouching you expose a smaller surface to opponents bullets, so that if they hurt you they hurt you less.

  3525. ZaPaTa says:

    Yes, that did it. Still, to find the scoring more easily I think it’s good to have it in a page…I’ve put it under ‘where to go’ because the DM-idea was a result of that topic, no?
    Feel free to edit ofcourse, just spitting my ideas.

    Speaking of Ideas, I thought it could be nice to have a chat on the site. So while playing SG, we could chat in the site instead of Jabber. Not sure if this is a good idea, but I started with a widget called Meebo. But I can’t find it how to bring it ‘alive’ on the side? any thoughts about it?

  3526. Biondo says:

    I see you solved the menu problem 🙂 Good.

  3527. ZaPaTa says:

    I do have sound…but I’ll put fx louder next.

    When moving left-right, not only my opponent has difficulties with aiming. I also have, so I can’t aim properly while moving all the way. I choose to stand still and aim, but true, it doesn’t help me a lot.

  3528. Biondo says:

    Zapa, I can’t see big errors in your game, anyway this is what I can say:

    – It seems that you can’t hear sounds well, so it happens that an opponent behind you is able to get very close to you before you can react. I use headphones, no SG music, and no music at all (neither Reggae 🙂 )

    – Move more: when you are duelling with a player move left-right-left-right, never rest and never run towards him along a straight line. This is very difficult to learn, but really useful

    – If you rest in a place, try to be hidden (and while hidden, listen to surrounding sounds)

    – When you have no ammo, and no time to reload, press “1” to use the knife

    – When you approach a place where you know there is a camping opponent (because you heard him) try to be silent (= crouch) to take him by surprise.

    Of course, when I play I don’t follow always all these rules!

  3529. Biondo says:

    I saw, Zapa 😛

    Read this: http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/ (the part about Menu). Try, and if you still aren’t able to create the menu voice tell me and I’ll do.

    But I think it’s better if we don’t create too may pages or in a short time the whole thing could become a mess. Probably the score table could have been a simple Post (as it was Clan Deathmach), or better the final score could have been added to Clan Deathmatch.

  3530. ZaPaTa says:

    I’m also not a big fan of BB…Neither of the current style by Rems…But we’ll see.

  3531. Biondo says:

    Good idea Zapa!
    I’m still waiting we meet together, in different maps, to talk about tricks and strategies that maybe other players don’t know. Probably we should make some school each other before organizing clan deathmatches.

    I watch at the demo and next I’ll post my observations (if any).

  3532. JesseJames says:

    @Biondo: oh is that so that they are cheaters, than my opinion is changed? I saw BB Joe today and I wun from him :). But I saw also that i’m on vacantion that day.

  3533. JesseJames says:

    Hi lameguys, we had an invitation of BB Bart to play on his tournament because BBclan exists 1 year, and he asked if we don’t have interest in a tournament. But it is Bankrobbery 🙁
    this is the site:
    http://bb-birthday.de.tl/How-to-register-my-team-f-.htm
    If you have interest,you just say it here or in mail.

    • Biondo says:

      I saw Jesse, but I’m not interested. Not only because I don’t know/like BR, but also because BB Bart is a cheater, BB Moe also (and I suspect that he plays under the name of BB Joe nowadays).

  3534. JesseJames says:

    Ok Bart, we will look for is it possible to come with a strong selection :). But i don’t know if the rest is happy with BR :). I will send you a mail to your site.
    Tnx for the invitation.

  3535. JesseJames says:

    Yes that is a little bit annoying.

  3536. Biondo says:

    @REMSLETRUAND, of course I hope you’ll loose your compulsive mania to enter in the middle of a game, calling vote to change map (1 time, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times…) and joining the spectators after pressing F1, just to trick the vote.

  3537. JesseJames says:

    I asked to him if he had a jabber account

  3538. Biondo says:

    Totally Unuseful Ways of using Gatlings.
    Sleeping in my PC I found these recordings that me and SNH made long time ago, when Baller was almost desert an you had all the time to collect money and buy Gatlings. I post them here just for your fun.

  3539. Biondo says:

    OK, activated as admin. He should have received the password via e-mail.
    Welcome Rems!
    If he has a Jabber account, somebody can invite him in conference.

  3540. ZaPaTa says:

    I love to read about the dedication of Doc…really wonderful to read about the efforts he put in it to keep BB clean…I love it.

  3541. JesseJames says:

    @biondo can you activate Rems Leturand emailadress so he can discuss with us? His emailadress is remguel [at] gmail [dot] com.
    Tnx.

  3542. JesseJames says:

    We have a new member in our clan it’s Rems Leturand !
    Hope you have much pleasure!

  3543. Biondo says:

    Yes 🙂 ty

  3544. Sunrise says:

    Th point is that the comparison ends with the sentence:
    “We can conclude that *Lame*Biondo ownes *LAME*Mope in 6 of 11 total comparison sections.”
    But Skill and Playerrank is basicly the same.
    If your skill is higher than Mopes skill, your rank will be higher too.
    S0 there are only 10 DIFFERENT comparison sections and you win 5 of them.
    Then there are these 2 sections Teamkills_p_round and
    Teamdeaths_p_round, which are kind of usless
    (In deathmatch there are no teams.).
    You lost in both sections. The reason is:
    you have remembered your stats and not the stats of Mope.
    If you choose Mopes stats to remember instead of yours, he will loose in these sections. So there should be only 8 sections (skill, connections, rounds, kill_p_round, death_p_round, winstreak and lo0streak)
    In five of these relevant sections you are better than Mope.
    So the final sentence should be:
    Th point is that the comparison ends with the sentence:
    “We can conclude that *Lame*Biondo ownes *LAME*Mope in 5 of 8 total comparison sections.”
    I hope you understand now.

  3545. -=BB=-Bart says:

    Hello team LAME!

    We want to invite you for our -=BB=- birthday cup. Our Clan exist now 1 year. We want to make a small BR-tournament.
    I know it isn’t your gametype but i hope you will come too 🙂
    There aren’t so much cups/tournaments this time 🙂

    All about the cup you can find there:
    http://bb-birthday.de.tl

    Hope to see you soon!

  3546. Biondo says:

    Thank you very much, Sun! Under the map thumbnail you find a link to download a 1680×1050 copy.

  3547. Biondo says:

    Hmm… not sure I completely understand what you said. The feature was introduced by Doc and it’s to him to fix everything that need to be fixed (if any).

  3548. Sunrise says:

    Ouh another great option to compare yourself with other dm players, but it seems like the system isn’t fully sophisticated.
    First like Mope already mentioned, skill is counted twice , inasmuch the rank is skill-based.
    By testing this feature, i noticed the second point, which concerns the team-kills and team-deaths per round.
    As you can see in your example, your name is written red in both cases, which means you lost there. While playing around with your new toy(;D), i detected that it depends on the player you choose to remember. If you remember yourself you will always present the other one with two free points.
    Consequently, there are only 8 different sections to compare.
    Maybe you or Doc (i don’t know, who introduced this feature) can fix this.
    Greetings,
    Sunrise

  3549. Sunrise says:

    Amazing work Biondo, just amazing!
    I always was looking for a nice Sg related desktop background, now i found one ;D.
    If it won’t cause too much trouble for you, i would beg you
    to use a higher resolution(1680×1050(which is mine) or even higher), so that i could enjoy your awesome map in full size.
    Greetings and best wishes,
    Sunrise

  3550. Mope says:

    What have you done, Biondo! I was so naive and innocent before I watched this… The game will never be the same again for me!

  3551. Mope says:

    Very useful comment, Biondo. Didn’t know about “/kil” command. Also attaching/detaching Gatling has it’s time penalty, you’re very vulnerable when you do that.
    Killing Gattling campers is a real pleasure! What’s that multiplication? Never heard about it. It has to do something with building Gatling towers?

    And, oh, do whatever you like with the Weapons posts… There is really nothing secret about them…

    The source of the picture is WikiMedia, unedited, I’m so lazy! The model in game has no external casing for barrels, and has tripod instead of wheels. But it looks pretty similar. Especially i love that hand crank, which gives the Gatling
    resemblance to meat grinder.

    -> Mope: 1
    -> JJ: 0,5 Points
    -> Zap: 0 points

  3553. Biondo says:

    OK for me too.

  3554. Biondo says:

    Ah ah, nice post Mope! I like your writing style, really professional and still fun. And congrats for the lamerick (I should institute a category ad hoc now).

    Please all, can I make this page and kives page public? I mean can I copy them in the blog (as public posts, together with all their comments, or without?) Please, I need an answer from all of you.

    Nice image too… not the same Gatling gun model depicted in SG, I think, but nice anyhow (maybe, Mope, it could be interesting to add a reference to the original source, if this doesn’t mean to reveal a Mope’s secret).

    About Gatlings, some additions to the post:

    – of course you’re not totally fixed with a Gatling, you can still detach it and re-assemble it elsewhere in the map, that is what most experienced players do when they find one.

    – it works when you have a lot of players in the map, or when you’re playing against bots. I saw players buying a Gatling in a match with few players and falling asleep.

    – when you get stuck, you can also kill yourself (type “/kill” in console). This way you loose one point, but don’t loose all your money (at least in SG 1.0 when you spectate you loose your money, not sure if SG 1.1 behaves the same way).

    – there are many known Gatling’s bugs if you search in Internet. Probably the worst is Gatlings’ multiplication (not sure, but I think this was corrected in Ballerbude).

    – I love Gatlings, not because I use them, but because I love to clear the map from Gatling’s campers killing them — from distance and unseen — with a 2-colts-headshot 🙂

  3555. ZaPaTa says:

    Hehe, thanks for the youtube post, I’ll see if I find a tree that is suitable…:D
    Scoring:
    -> Winner gains 1 point
    -> Tie: both winners gain 1/2 point
    -> other player on top: doesn’t matter, first LAME player gains the point.

    Scoring counts until 15 point before we start over again?
    I like the Idea. Make the scores public, indeed.
    Question, to avoid a great gap between players’ points, should the second player also gets 1/2 point? I’s easier, I know, but so everybody (read ‘me’ :D) can stay close to the lead?

    Scoring NOW:
    -> Bionde: 2,5 points
    -> Mope: 0,5 Points
    -> JJ & Zap: 0 points

    • Mope says:

      Sounds OK to me, I mean giving 1/2 point to the second place winner. Makes it more competitive.

  3556. JesseJames says:

    @Mope sorry i didn’t see that you and Biondo have the same points. I think when there is an other player that wins the game, and a lameplayer is second, than he has the points? And when there is a tie everybody has the points or nobody has the points? What do you think?
    The first player that gains 15 point is the winner of the lamedeadmatch?
    Please answer so I can make a new stand standing.

    • Mope says:

      Jesse, when there is a tie, we can give both players a half-point. Like they are sharing a winner place, but also sharing the prize, like in a lottery.

      I think we just continue keeping score, maybe prepare a nice-looking chart, to see the progress.

      • Biondo says:

        OK about 1/2 points.

        Nice looking chart: OK, I leave it to you Mope. I think you already have something in mind.

  3557. JesseJames says:

    Tnx Doc, it’s cool that we are now the Ballerbudeclan!It’s a real honour.

  3558. Mope says:

    Jesse, Zapata, how do you count the results? I think, something is wrong…
    From the results of the second round it’s clear, that me and Biondo are tied for the second place. Than why do I get a point for that match, and Biondo does not? That’s a tricky situation, when there is a non-clan player at the top. But completely *LAME*.

  3559. ZaPaTa says:

    Yeah, and sorry by the way for my average skills and quick leaving…My girlfriend came over unexpected so I was partly shooting, partly listening and partly thinking all together…next time better!

    • Mope says:

      Hey, Zapata, no worry. There’s a nice gadget for avoiding this kind of disturbing situations, helps to concentrate better:

  3560. ZaPaTa says:

    I changed the HTML for my image a little, like Mope did for his screenshots. By clicking on it, it will open like the screenshot does. Is is now public, I don’t see a private status in the edit-box?

    1st ROUND:

    shot0004

  3561. ZaPaTa says:

    Thanks Doc, very nice!

  3562. Mope says:

    Jesse, don’t you recall the results of the first round? I think you were leading… I was on the 3rd or 4th place… Maybe together we’ll recreate those results?

  3563. JesseJames says:

    tnx to mope to post the screenshots. It was I think a success? Only the third game was for me a fail with the pc etc.
    so the stand:
    Biondo: 2
    Mope: 1
    Jessje james: 0
    Zapata: 0

  3564. Mope says:

    That’s true honor to our clan. Thanks, Doc!

  3565. Biondo says:

    Thank You BoSS!

  3566. BoSS says:

    Nice clan and nice members.Hope you the Best. 🙂

  3567. Mope says:

    Results of the 3rd round:

    shot0004

  3568. Mope says:

    Results of the second round:

    shot0003

  3569. Mope says:

    Yeah, Zapata, publish it! That’s how I look on the move? Really?

  3570. Biondo says:

    Very nice, ZaPaTa!

    But… we’d also like to see one of your original drawings in the public area of the site, Zapa! Sure, it will be much appreciated by visitors, as their number will increase.

    (This is going to be the most graphically inspirational SG clans’ site in the world).

  3571. Mope says:

    haha… Zapata, have you got the screenshot of the first round? Or maybe someone remember results? I’ve got 2n and 3rd, I want to publish them.

    We’ll make another post for results? Or just publish them here?

  3572. ZaPaTa says:

    Before I die tonight, I would like to post this:

    shot0004

  3573. ZaPaTa says:

    Fine for me!

  3574. JesseJames says:

    lol@mope, I only make headshots today 🙂

  3575. Mope says:

    Challenge accepted. I promise to make your deaths painless and honorable.

  3576. JesseJames says:

    Ok it’s a good hour for me,, and I like the maps. :), but it’s the second time I will play on it so the first deadmatch my expectations are not so high.

  3577. @spi says:

    stats are strange, and i think they are a little bit buggy, or not realy correct.
    Have you read the help about calculation ratio etc

    http://xlrstatshelp.xlr8or.com/

    btw. i put up all needed files for terranova to
    ftp://87.106.142.22/

    so you do not need to autodownload it ingame

    chears @spi

    • Biondo says:

      Thanks @spi. In the meanwhile Doc gave an excellent explanation of BB stats (see next post).

  3578. Mope says:

    thnx for info about bots, agreed, but sometimes killing them is useful to get score against more skilled or hard-camping enemy, to win the round. We can discuss it in “Strategy” section, that should appear under “Secrets”.

    I’ve lost all my stats one day, when I’ve formatted my PC and had to download SG files 2nd time (had to backup them!!) So that’s why my number of connections is only smth like 800. And I think, I can share your status of “Nothing better to do” )). Not officially, of course.

    And I’m really proud to see you’ve achieved 1st place on BB stats. Hope to get there 1 day too… )) BTW, we must create here a Gallery of Honor, and store such screenshots there.

    And, yeah, I like to play for fun myself, getting crazy, throwing Molotovs and knives! Especially I love to get crazy on a train!

  3579. Mope says:

    I don’t think this comparison table is well organized. The player rank, for example is result of death/kill ratio, skill, etc. So it’s duplicates parameters, that are already included in comparison.

    The only thing I really care about is a death/kill ratio (which is always close for us, Biondo). That’s number that is most clear. Who cares of how much poor bots I’ve killed from gatling at one really boring night, and gained that nice winstreak? But I can’t deny, I always look on my position at overall BB stats.

    They really must remove the “number of connections” parameter from there… That has nothing to do with skill.

    • Biondo says:

      To be honest, Mope, I don’t believe 100% in BB stats. One day I’m at 25th position and next day I’m at 50th.

      Death/kill ratio: I don’t consider it too much, because I’m the (lame) one that goes with a single knife against a full weapons armoured opponent 🙂 (yes I know, I die too much frequently).

      If you want to get a better score in BB stats you have to die less (Doc told me this… right Doc?… This means: have a good strategy, have fast reactions, have good ping, know the maps and know the game, and… camp a lot, as Muffin and Nautica do, or … be TheDoctor), but I’m not that kind of player.

      Bots: this doesn’t count as much as you think. In Baller if you kill a bot you don’t gain so much. TheDoctor tweaked BigBrotherBot stats (BigBrotherBot, also known as B3, is the software that lets administrators to better administer and that generates stats) so that killing a bot you don’t get a better score, or not so much. Can I show you when I was at 1st place in BB stats? This is a screenshot I took before TheDoctor corrected the problem (I took it so I’ll be able to show it to the sons of my son 🙂 ). Please notice that:
      – TheDoctor is hidden in stats
      – At that time there weren’t many players in Baller (and surely not Pros as Muffin or Nautica).

      You can improve your scores killing real noobs, and avoiding Pros. But this is not totally fair. It can happens, but it shouldn’t be the rule.

      Update (August 2011)
      : In BallerBude the way skills are determined has changed: you get rewarded with skill points if you fight against pros and you don’t get points if you fight against bots or noobs.

      Number of connections: I think it’s correct to show this data. I connected 3013 times (I won 2 awards for that 😉 : “Bone collector = Highest number of kills”, of course, ah ah, and “Most rounds played = Nothing better to do”, ah ah again). This data gives an idea of the player real skills: a player registered since 1 week can have a very good score, but it doesn’t mean anything. A player registered since 2 years… OK, we have data about him. Moreover, if somebody is playing so much time (“Nothing better to do”) and he still appears on second page of scores… sure he is a lame!
      Mope, when you’ll have played 2,932 rounds, you’ll have a score much more better than mine!

      Just to be clear (I don’t want to be misunderstood): I published this (public) post just to let all players know of this Baller’s stats function, not to glorify myself. I know of other players that look at stats after every game… no, I play just for fun and I’m in *LAME* also because of it’s name, because I’m lame. Don’t look at stats and you’ll play better.

  3580. JesseJames says:

    Nice, You can everything. I like that you can see on wich map you are good. But it’s a pity that I have 2 statics, because I play on 2 pc’s.

  3581. @spi says:

    hi friends and fans of the sg services provided by the bb team !

    auto download of maps/skins
    were always a problem by the q3 ingame engine, not stable, realy slow, and with reduced downstream …. use a game slot … wth …. wtf 😉

    best practice is to download the whole sh … manual and connect to your desired server 🙂

    i am thinking about packing all neede files for terra to an archive, and up it to a location with a fast backend connection !

    i wonderd about your post biondo:

    “This has been fixed by Brain in the meantime: ftp://ftp.loop8.net/smokinguns/smokinguns/

    this guy is value for us … trust and belive me and him… plz mate.

    terra was set up and designed by doc, to give the mappers a opportunity to show their work to us ! i got request from users to add some custom maps in BB cycle, just to refresh
    BB default shooting 😉

    we have to discuss this change request, internal !

    ok, thanx for reading my post, and thanx to you lame guys for joining our server, playing sg, thanx to my mother for her delicious food, my boss sponsoring the server, biondo doc … brain … my kids … thanx to god … the whole world ………………… arrrggg … i shouldnt drink to much …. 😉

    chears @spi

  3582. JesseJames says:

    For me it’s OK, who will look for that, i’m not so handy with screenshots and such a things?

  3583. Mope says:

    Wow, Biondo, you solved that!

  3584. Biondo says:

    ok

  3585. Mope says:

    Since not everybody has played as it was a real official deathmatch, it’s results must be revoked. We must arrange the taem deathmatch officially, on the site. So everyone will be ready and prepared… This Thursday is OK with everyone? One more thing: we must decide on keeping score… saving screens with results is a good idea I think, we’ll publish them here after the match.

  3586. Biondo says:

    It seems that our tonight meeting in Terra Nova was an official team deathmatch. Sorry, I didn’t understand that it was, so I didn’t register the score.
    I can only testify that me and Zapata played bad. Jesse and Mope played well, particularly Mope in Tijuana. 🙂

    A proposal: why don’t we meet together to explore these new maps and talk freely, without a real tournament?

  3587. Mope says:

    If I only could help you, but my knowledge of WordPress is insignificant.

  3588. Biondo says:

    No, it isn’t a browser problem, and yes yesterday they worked (I think).
    But today I tested some new plugins to make this site better, and surely one of them caused the problem.
    No we can’t move all posts to pages, if we do it the site will be very static. I think that the good of a blog is that you can post frequently without having to manage a complex site hierarchy.

    But don’t despair, I’m confident I’ll find a solution, also if I had to change from WordPress to Drupal.

  3589. Mope says:

    Maybe that’s a browser incompatibility problem? I think I saw those bars yesterday, and they worked. Maybe I’m mistaken. That’s only the problem of the HomePage? Bacase we can turn it into Introduction page, and move all the posts to some other place in menu…

  3590. JesseJames says:

    Hmm that is strange,and can you see ZaPaTa?
    I sended you an invitation yesterday to become my friend.

  3591. JesseJames says:

    I love the sawed of shotgun, very hard weapon and you can kill people very fast, it is a good weapon when you are in a map with a lot of buildings. With one reflex and he dies 🙂

  3592. Biondo says:

    Here it is:

    http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=ayJrCqdn

    But I don’t think this could work. First of all I’m running Linux version of SG, then this config is made for my environment (my PC, my graphic card, my monitor). You can try, but make sure you have a backup of your true q3config.cfg, so you can restore it.

  3593. Biondo says:

    Thank you Mope, without your help I wouldn’t be able to create this conference!

  3594. Mope says:

    OK, guys. Biondo and me tested chat-conference on jabber, it works perfectly. I’ve created a conference room, it’s called lameclan. look for it at the bottom, because the rooms, which names start with smallcase come after uppercase ones.

    lameclan

    I’ve made it persistent, so you can find it if you browse chat rooms list, or even simpler (at least on trillian client) – choose “Join conference”

    lameclan conference

    and type lameclan at chat name field and a password: ********** (Biondo, I’ve changed it again, to smth more normal and easier to remember).
    I’m not sure at your clients the screens look the same as at trillian, but it has to be close to it.

  3595. Biondo says:

    Ok, I see all you in Jabber.

    Mope is connected. For Jesse and Zapa I see “service-unavailable”.

    No problem, maybe they aren’t connected.

    Mope, I’d like to wee when you are online and when you are not, but your icon is a question mark. Please, check you configuration so I can see when you are online and accepting messages.

  3596. JesseJames says:

    Yehaaa Terra Nova runs!!! Very nice maps but it is a pity that there are no other people only 2 silly bots 🙂

  3597. ZaPaTa says:

    Biondo, I agree that’s no fun and not fair to use it if you’re not a member, but what can you do against it? making a scene in-game would make things worse. I would propose each time you see one doing this, to make mention of the fact we are a clan en that this player, if he likes to join, first need to send us an email. I think this is a balanced approach?

  3598. ZaPaTa says:

    Biondo, quick question. Can you upload your file on internet, put is somewhere on this server or add it on Fileden.com or wetransfer.com? We could download it, backup our original file somewhere and replace it only in our SG-folder with your customized file…?
    you think this can work?

  3599. Mope says:

    Wow, Biondo, thanks a lot. As soon as I get home, I’ll fix mine.
    BTW, I’m testing my brand new binds of q3config. Very interesting. First time I’ve found application for all my mouse buttons!

  3600. JesseJames says:

    @biondo tnx, I will try it tomorrow

  3601. JesseJames says:

    Indeed nice work mope,
    For me it is also easy, Dutch, English, French, and a little bit of German.

  3602. JesseJames says:

    @Biondo
    Let me say, NO we don’t accept ex-cheaters it is not good for our name and reputation. You never know if they are cheating again.

  3603. Biondo says:

    I wrote to Doc about your problem with Terra Nova, and, thanks to Mope’s screenshot, I was able to explain the problem.

    His answer:
    “This has been fixed by Brain in the meantime: ftp://ftp.loop8.net/smokinguns/smokinguns/“.

    So it seems that the problem has been corrected.
    But you can download each packet separately following the link above (open it in browser), so to be sure you don’t have to download them in game.

    Put them in the right directory, the same of q3config.cfg:
    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/sg-configuration/comment-page-1/#comment-87.
    These .pk3 files are like .zip files. Don’t unzip them!

  3604. Biondo says:

    for me it’s simple: Italian and (partially) English 🙂

  3605. Biondo says:

    Let me disagree.

    I thought this clan was a clan about honesty, fair behaviour, fun playing.

    It’s not fun, not fair, not honest when a player rob your name, or the name of your clan.

    Yes I know that I used the *LAME* prefix ONE time, but I didn’t know it was a clan. I used it to say “I’m lame as Jesse (or it was Zapata?). He has this prefix, I should have the same prefix, because I’m lame”.

    It’s a different thing to use the clan name for weeks, when Biondo, Zapata and Jesse, all have asked you to enter the clan or not use it.

    Should we accept also ex cheaters?

  3606. Mope says:

    Long time ago Hebrew letters were exotic for me as well. My native language is Russian, my family moved to Jerusalem from Riga at 1991. BTW, we must prepare a diagram post of languages we know, it might develop to something interesting, as the clan grows.

  3607. ZaPaTa says:

    Mope, you’ve got some very nice work too sir!
    I like the hebrew signs, makes things looking pretty exotic here in Belgium!

  3608. Biondo says:

    I’d like more Terra Nova, because it’s almost always desert and because of good ping.

    Lannukka has nothing special, apart from being not too much frequented. The ping is bad though.

    IP? http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/where-to-go-with-lame/comment-page-1/#comment-88
    🙂

    • Mope says:

      Lanukka is not so good choice for me either, it’s too far away from me, so the ping is disaster. Not like on american servers, but still. But if there is no way for other clan members to download those maps, I agree to play there.

  3609. ZaPaTa says:

    I say tolerance is the key here. All official members are listed here and get acces to this secret part. People using this prefix are missing this part, as or planned official competition. So if they feel like they are missing something the still can join us in a regular way. As long as they play fair, we can seek contact with them as we did now.
    BUT, if they violate the rules (imaging you a LAME player insulting other clans!) we can not tolerate that, nor can we do so with or own members (remember Amike a while ago)…

  3610. ZaPaTa says:

    Same error here as JJ said and Mope posted.
    If this is a regular problem and we keep on missing each other for this reason I suggest another server.
    Is Lannukka a regular server, normaly online? Is it a special server for some reason?

    What about this, on thursdays and regular days we meet up in Baller Bude. If we are all, or enough of us, online to play a decent game, we should switch then to Lannukka?

  3611. Biondo says:

    About soSS: I don’t know him, and I can’t access Baller’s logs since I’m not admin. All we can know about him is here: http://bb.game-host.org/index.php?func=player&playerid=583&config=0
    You can see that he also played with name *LAME*.

    JoeRogan: he speaks English very well, I think. I also asked him to write to Jesse and remove prefix *LAME* from his name more than one time.

    My thought is: don’t accept JoeRogan in the clan, because he refused to follow the right way to be welcomed in clan.
    If he persists in using *LAME* prefix, I could also write to TheDoctor and ask him to change his name server-side.

    Generally speaking, I think we should accept only players we know enough, players that always behaved fair, players that play frequently in Baller (also if they aren’t well positioned in Baller’s stats).

  3612. Mope says:

    I saw JoeRogan with *Lame* as well. I asked him about that too, no response, maybe his English is not good enough. I don’t think we can or must do anything about that – that’s clan popularity growing. And as it growing, more people would like to join, or will put *Lame* before their name, that’s sign of appreciation. You can not avoid fan to wear his soccer club t-shirt, if he wants too. All the clan members are still listed on the site.

  3613. JesseJames says:

    Today I had a question of Soss if he can join the lameclan. I said to him that he check our site.
    Maybe biondo you can search if he is a good person (no insults or something)?

    Yesterday I saw *lame*joerogan but he is not a member of our clan. I said to him if he wants to join us that he send me a mail. But he don’t react. Can we do something so that he don’t use the lame name?

  3614. JesseJames says:

    That was also the error for me yesterday. 🙂
    If Lannukka is easier to connect it is good for me to play each thursday on that map.
    I didn’t read the blog yesterday after 18.30 🙂

  3615. Mope says:

    As I told before, I’ve experienced those problems as well, but only with maps that were not previously downloaded… Attaching screenshot here. Do you think I need to go to the Doctor? His medicine is always lethal for me )).

    screen not downloading

  3616. JesseJames says:

    Hilarious! It is just like a real westernmovie :). Nice

  3617. JesseJames says:

    Nice new hierarchy on the site; It is orderly and logical. Nice work.

  3618. JesseJames says:

    See my post in deadmatch result. Pff no luck yesterday.

  3619. JesseJames says:

    Hey Biondo and Mope, sorry there was a problem yesterday with Terra Nova we couldn’t download the maps. And there was a little meeting for us.
    But next week the competition starts! (if the server works). Tnx for waiting.
    Sorry about that.

    PS: nice picture 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Jesse, I wrote in blog that if you weren’t able connect to Terra Nova, we could have played in Lannukka. Did you read it? Damn… read the f..king blog!

      🙂 Just joking.

      Ok, if you can’t connect:
      – be sure you transcribe the error message in its entirety and report it to me
      – try re-downloading the whole server list
      – try to write “\reconnect” in console (without “)

      If nothing works: write an email to TheDoctor.

  3620. Biondo says:

    😀 Ah ah, Mope.
    The most disastrous clan deathmatch in history. Thanks for waiting with me.

    Nice photomontage (I suppose you took the originals at the Library of Congress: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2002716009/).
    And thanks for the link, there are some nice fonts I don’t have and for which I can think of some use.

  3621. Mope says:

    I’ve been thrown out from Terra Nova, when it came to downloading some files for the nest map (( No luck today

  3622. Biondo says:

    I think that me and Mope missed the date.

    We were in Terra Nova at 20:30 (Italy and Israel hour) but no other Lame was around. Next we went to lannukka, but nobody…

    ??

  3623. Biondo says:

    OK, let’s meet tonight in Terra Nova.

    If somebody still has problems we’ll go to Lannukka (212.149.237.100:27960).

  3624. Biondo says:

    Too many questions, too few time to answer 🙂

    Console: I use it mainly for in-game chat:
    1) to see what players said
    2) when I want to be sure I can automatically re-say what I say, without rewriting it (because I can use the UP arrow, to go back in my console history).
    In Ballerbude (but only there) sometimes I use it to see a player’s aliases: type “!!alias zapata” (without “) to get Zapata aliases; it’s enough to type “!!alias z” or “!!alias za”, if Zapata is the only actual player with name beginning with “z” or “za”.

    Menu: I don’t know… I don’t use it, because I put my configuration in q3config.

    Ping: this is very difficult. I spent a lot of time reading all sort of literature (SG forum, Quake 3 guides) to try to reduce my ping without any result. A good connection/provider obviously reduces ping 😉

    q3config: it’s a file that keeps all your configurations. Better not touch it if you don’t know what you are doing (and be sure to have a backup of the original one). The location depends on the operating system you are using:

    * Linux: ~/.smokinguns/smokinguns/
    * Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/SmokinGunssmokinguns/
    * Windows: %APPDATA%\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\
    [- under Windows XP it expands to \Documents and settings\username\Application data\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\
    – under Windows Vista or Windows 7, it expands to \Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\Smokin’ Guns\smokinguns\]

    I promised Mope to post something about q3config, and I’ll post something, but I need more time. Not now, I don’t want to write something wrong.

    @Biondo Conquer club that is a nice strategy game (a bit like the game RISK). And that is a map of Flanders in 1302.

  3626. Biondo says:

    Possibly a temporary server problem.

  3627. Biondo says:

    Nice portfolio Zapa! I’m honoured I’m in the same clan of such talented graphic designer/illustrators.

    And I see you have drawn a map too:
    http://www.woutergeeftvorm.be/index.php?/wouters-vormgeving/conquer-club-flanders-1302/
    😉

  3628. ZaPaTa says:

    I try to run Terra Nova. I get the screen for autodownloading the map but after a while i get the message : ‘couldn’t connect to server Code: 0 URL:
    (and then a link to a file sanjuanicotextures 1.pk3)

    btw, Beta-users, you should use the “smokinguns.mingw32-crosscompiled.exe” file to run Terra Nova

  3629. ZaPaTa says:

    If I use swords (and I do often) I switch one time between my gun, primary weapon, and my knifes (let’s call it secondary). In battle, when running out of amo, i press my ctrl-key, just next to the keys i use for walking and crouching. I assigned this key to the action ‘use last used weapon’ (or something like that). this makes a very quick switch between knifes and guns, no matter the direction of the switch (so if you’re done with the knifes and want to switch back to guns, just press the key (here Ctrl) again.) I find this way more clear than scrolling, with gives me all kind of things (like in real life, my pockets are full of things I never use :D) except my knife!

  3630. ZaPaTa says:

    Aha, we have some things in common here. Since you are a librarian, you like reading and books too?
    I’m a 23 year old graphic designer/ Illustrator. Someone asked about my work, you find most of it on my site:
    http://www.woutergeeftvorm.be (in Dutch). Hope you like some of it. I like music (start buying vinyl recently, especially Reggae), comics, all kind of books, all things related to history and nature. Of course Western movies.
    I like SG so much because it’s more than just shooting. I like the realism about it and the theme. That’s it for now. Would like to see some YippieYahYeah comment here as wel 🙂

    cheers

    • Mope says:

      I liked your works, ZaPaTa, especially nice illustrations.
      It’s my turn, I suppose: so as you already know, I’m designer, in internet environment. Currently I’m an employee in a high-tech company, designing platforms for binary options trading platforms online. Since I’m working there only last 3 month, my portfolio is not updated. Before that I’ve been making mostly flash sites/minisites/banners for campaigns at advertising company, which specialized on web campaigns. My works are here: http://ezoart.net/ there are some nice flash banners. I really must update this site with my recent and much more serious works. I like riding my bike on Tel Aviv quay, traveling, music too (indie, industrial, post-punk, etc.) I’m also interested in ancient history, archeology.

      • Biondo says:

        wow wow wow,we have Pros here!
        Ouch, Biondo, you’d better hide with your self-thought graphics!

        I’m not a fan of Flash, but… Nice work, Mope!

  3631. ZaPaTa says:

    Love it, apologies to Mope 😀 & YYY

  3632. ZaPaTa says:

    I will help JJ with the installment of it. I did it today and it works for me.

  3633. Biondo says:

    @Mope.

    “hierarchy of the site”: I sent an email to all members because it’s urgent to redefine the site architecture.

    “I’ll continue with contribution to the site”: niiice!

    “time-shortage”: Take it with calm. It just happens that I have much time in these days.

  3634. Mope says:

    Biondo, thanx for your support and for quick response. I had a dilemma, where to put this post. On one hand, I understand you want it public, but it’s problematic with hierarchy of the site (and full of secrets). Maybe after we have enough comments here, we’ll just duplicate it as a post?

    I’ll continue with contribution to the site, and there will be more decorated posts for main page as well. Just experiencing some time-shortage lately. But you gave me the taste for creativity.

  3635. Biondo says:

    OK. I’m the SG veteran, it’s not a secret that my age is the same of Jesse (multiplied for 3 🙂 ).

    My interests are my family, nature, art & graphics, cooking, and of course SG.

  3636. Biondo says:

    Wow Mope! Nice graphic! I’m happy that you too contribute some eye candy to this blog. Visitors will appreciate.

    2 tips:
    1) I suggest that you put a signature in your creations, so that it’s clear there is some work behind them
    2) Do you know you can make the image to link to a biggest copy of the same image? Simply load 2 images (one small, and 1 big). Insert the small in the post, and next edit the Link URL of the image so that it points to the big image.

    I’d like to see this page public. Actually it is public, but the problem is that it is a Page, and a sub-page of the private area, so there is no link in the menu visible to non admins. To put this in the blog means copying the page (with it’s comments) to a new Post.

    Knive:
    – Don’t use mouse button to use knives. Press the key “1” (that top left of keyboard). I think this is the default binding for switching to knife in SG (if not, you can bind it in q3config.cfg…. but more on this later).
    – To buy knives I have put a bind in q3config.cfg.
    – To slice opponent and don’t be sliced: practice :). I find that it’s better don’t go too much near the opponent (actually the knife behaves like a long sword). Also many players think that crouching is safer.
    When you want I’m ready for a knife duel with you so we both can improve our skills.

  3637. Mope says:

    Just continue adding weapons in a sub-submenu, I think that’s a right hierarchy. Here we can discuss weapons in common.

  3638. Biondo says:

    Good exercise Jesse (or ZaPaTa?)! You made only an error: you marked the page as “Private” and in this way you cannot add it to the main menu as a son page of Secrets.

    A page marked as “Private” is not published, can’t be added to menu, and is visible only to you (and to all administrators of course).

    To make a private page (in the sense of a page that only the clan can see and invisible to anonymous visitors), don’t mark it as Private 🙂 but follow the instructions in “Secrets”:
    1) check “Only accessible by members?” (top of right column), and next check “Administrator” (OK, you did this right)
    2) assign it a “parent” in the right column “Page attributes” (OK, you did it right)
    3) then, go to Appearance –> Menus (left column of administrative interface), and _Add_ your page to menu, and then _drag_ it in right position under its parent.

    Remember: don’t mark it as Private.

    This was for pages. For Posts, it’s different (read the instructions on the page Secrets).

    It’ difficult in the beginning, but when you get used it’s easy.

    UPDATE: ZaPaTa, I corrected the mistake.

  3639. JesseJames says:

    Lets starts:
    Jesse James: I’am 17 and a student. My hobby’s are sport(cycling, football,…) , SG, a good book and comics, and humour . History is also an intrest of me.

  3640. JesseJames says:

    Damn, Ok tommorow I will download the new SG 1.1. So we can play in Terra Nova and explore the new maps.

    • Biondo says:

      About SG 1.1: please Jesse, read well the instructions, because it’s not so easy to install the Beta version (at least in Linux, I don’t know in Windows).

  3641. JesseJames says:

    Now another problem is here, how can I download this maps? my autodownload is on Yes. But I throw out of the server with a message that i need the file.

    • Biondo says:

      Hmm… I suppose you are running SG 1.0, not SG 1.1.
      🙁

      No problem, tomorrow we can play in another server.

  3642. JesseJames says:

    Hmm I used the Ip adress but i can’t play in Terra Nova very strange. When i click on ENTER the game closed down and it is the start page. It was a . and not a : 😉

    • Biondo says:

      Are you sure you are using the beta version of Smokin’Guns (SG 1.1b4)?

      Are you sure that in your settings you allow download (Settings -> Game Options -> Auto download: yes.)?

      I must add that lately I had problems when I switched from SG 1.0 to SG 1.1. Be sure to completely reload the server list again, if you change SG version since the last time you played.

  3643. Mope says:

    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/WhiteSunoftheDesert.jpg

    and I warmly recommend this Russsian western,
    White Sun of the Desert (1970)” to everyone

  3644. Bart says:

    Be sure, it’s better to be realistic than to think we are the bests and nobody other.
    Nice new design.

    -=BB=-Bart

  3645. Biondo says:

    OK. No problem at all. You ask and I’ll answer. Don’t be frightened.

  3646. JesseJames says:

    Lol I heared that we are with 3 graphic designers :). But i’am totally a noob with Pc’s and designing, :). I’am a student
    This site is also a little bit difficult for me, but it comes 🙂

  3647. JesseJames says:

    Now i understand the ping question :). Hmm usually I have a high ping :s. Maybe I don’t download westernmovies when i’am playin SG :).

  3648. Mope says:

    Biondo, please, can you right a post about q3config.cfg tweaks? I don’t have a clue about this, and the looking at the SG forum is like looking for oasis in Sahara desert. Pliiiiiiiiiz, dear Biondo!

    • Biondo says:

      Ok, but I need time… It’s a difficult matter.
      Don’t expect too much though, I’m not an expert of q3config.

  3649. JesseJames says:

    Wow @ mope I don’t know it also how you can reload with 2 weapons thanks for the information.
    I learn every day, tnx for this site and forum.

  3650. Biondo says:

    Ooops, something new happened… 🙁

    Today @spi informed me that Ballerbude has a new administrator.
    He is called “Amigo” in game, “/dev/random” in SG forum, “The Brain” in Baller admins world.

    I don’t like him. Too long to explain here, but when I was admin in Baller he abused of his technical knowledge to illegally gain administrative privileges and playing with my name or the name of TheDoctor.

    I don’t want to use BallerBude as a Jabber hosting service, because I don’t trust this guy and I don’t trust that he respects our privacy.

    I have to find another Jabber hosting service. When I’ll find it I will inform you all.

  3651. ZaPaTa says:

    Yes, go for Jabber. I don’t know it but i was looking for something like that ( well I guess, since I don’t know it yet!)
    Can you keep me in touch with the progress Biondo?

  3652. ZaPaTa says:

    Nice work, also graphically. I use all kinds of weapons, depending on my mood!
    Cheers

  3653. ZaPaTa says:

    Owkay, so a proposal:

    every thursday 8:30 PM GMT+2 (Italy) or 7:30 GMT+1 (Belgium) we play 3 games in Terra Nova.
    We need an Game Organizer, I think. This means one player who keeps track on active players and motivates them to participate every Thursday. He’s the first to log in on Terra Nova. If none plays in one of those 3 games the Organizer gains the point. Maybe Biondo is a good choice?

    In one evening a player can gain a maximum of 3 point (winning all 3 games).
    That’s it?

    • Biondo says:

      Ok.

      I propose this sequence of maps: Donut’s Station, Lon’s Tijuana, Donut’s Harbor.
      If you don’t already played in them, I encourage you to download the maps from connecting to Terra Nova server (Name: [SG1.1b4, cl_allowdownload 1] Terra Nova; IP: 212.65.13.87:27962), and start exploring them. I have to admit that I played in those maps, so I’ll probably have an advantage over you.
      I propose that if someone else enter the game, we keep on playing, and the scores are still valid.

      Requirements:

      – SG1.1b4 (Windows: only smokinguns_dedicated.mingw32-crosscompiled.exe will work; the default smokinguns.exe does not support HTTP downloads!)
      – Allowed downloads: Before connecting, open console and type \cl_allowdownload 1 or set via menu: Settings -> Game Options -> Auto download: yes.

      If you need to upgrade from SG 1.0 to SG 1.1b4 read Upgrade to Smokin’Guns version 1.1b4.

  3654. ZaPaTa says:

    Ha mope! nice tip, will use it in the future! Have to learn a lot I think 🙂

  3655. Mope says:

    Btw, want to hear something funny? Only yesterday I’ve learned to reload with both weapons in both hands, by holding “R” and pressing “fire” buttons. I’ve always thought you must switch to 1 weapon, reload, and than return to two-handed position. So noobish of me.

    • Biondo says:

      Ah, Mope you made me LOL 😀
      I suggest to you all to read every single line of SG forum (also obsolete posts) and next to read Quake3 documentation 🙂

      Do you know you can fire with both pistols using a single mouse button? Put this line in your q3config.cfg (if you don’t know of q3config… well search the forum):

      bind MOUSE3 “+attack; +button6”

      “+attack” is like pressing the left button, “+button6” is the right button. Pressing the middle mouse button you activate both pistols together.

  3656. Mope says:

    Awesome post, and perfectly decorated. I even showed your infogramm to my colleagues, and they’ve appreciated your skills.

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you, Mope!
      I had luck I was able to assemble some graphics, sitting in my PC, that I made for baller some times ago.
      I was feared of publishing my graphic experiments here (I’m the last arrived). But I see I am well welcomed. 🙂

  3657. JesseJames says:

    Wow this is so amazing, the statistics and so on… It is cool to know which weapons I use
    I have one question, I don’t understand the system of the ping can anyone explain me what that is?

    • Biondo says:

      Thank you Jesse 🙂

      Abut “ping“, I’m not an expert, but what I understand is that playing on-line is a non-stop dialogue between your PC and the server: the server sends to your PC the position of every player in a particular moment and your PC sends back to the server your position.
      Suppose that Biondo is falling down from the top of the church in No-name-city:
      – my PC informs the server that I have left the roof and I am floating in the air
      – the server informs JesseJames and other players (PCs) that I’m not in the roof any more, but I’m floating in the air
      If you have a low speed Internet connection (because your network is busy downloading the last Western movie, or because you are playing in a server far away from Europe, f.i. Rawhide), you don’t get the updated information and mistakenly see Biondo on the roof. You shoot with your 2 Colts (OK, you don’t use Colts) but you don’t kill me because I’m not there.

      Bad Internet connection = bad, high, ping.

      Bad ping (generally a ping higher than 100), is worst with some weapons. The use of weapons with high spread (like dynamite or Sawed-Off) is less affected by ping.

  3658. Dike aka Magician says:

    Where to start 😕 I’m running out out of words for that splendid and overwhelmingly creative remake of the site and all its components, especially the graphics 😀

    The whole site is such a pot of gold 😉 I wish i could do as well as you, Biondo. If i ever need some help, i’d like to contact you and book you as the main – or better: the only creative director 😛

    I hope that doesn’t sound effusively in your ears, it’s my pure earnestness 🙂 Go on like that, i’m looking forward for new flashes of your unbeaten wit.

    Best regards to you and all other *LAME* members, see you soon in game 🙂

    • Biondo says:

      Hmm… Magician?? Which Magician? pOORIARTY? wR”Naus!caa#?

      I’m astonished by your comment! Thank you! Really encouraging.

      If you want to contact me, if I can help, here I am 😉

      Thanks again!

      • Dike aka Magician says:

        can i vote 2 times for excellent 😛

        magician from [*~<|X0P], the other clan besides wR'' in your 'allied' section 🙂
        as i have many synonyms, all those u mentioned are correct 😉
        some day i will publish a dictionary like book about my alter egos and donate it to you and doppel xD

        if i ever find the courage to continue my long poem, i will need a good illustrator, which – i guess – unfortunately won't be me 😛 but that's future talk, i will approximately end it in years …

        bb 😀

  3659. Hehe! Biondo, you are full of wisdom and cool ideas. 😉 Nice work, uncle Biondo! Keep it up that way. 😛

  3660. JesseJames says:

    @biondo it was not ZaPaTa but me (i was using Zapata’s acount) 🙂

  3661. JesseJames says:

    Hmm it’s sound good, I never play in Terra Nova so i will try it. For me it’s good to play @ 8o’clock.
    We (ZaPaTa and I are also not really competitive but it is just for fun.

  3662. Mope says:

    I agree with Biondo on time. To make sure everybody can play, lets arrange it a bit later.

    Everything else is OK with me. Terra Nova is nice idea. The only thing I’d like to propose: can we agree on constant number of score-keeping games? 3-5 will be enough, I think. We can continue play together afterward, without a score, of course. Just to assure the competition will not last forever. Because when I’m too tired, I often keep falling from roofs, and it makes me look bad.

  3663. Biondo says:

    Thank you, Zapa.

    Zapata, read this about making posts and pages in private area:
    http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/

    When you create a private post: mark the category “Private” –in the right column of the window– before you publish it.

    When you make a private page (as http://lameclan.altervista.org/blog/secrets/where-to-go-with-lame/): If you create a page, you need to assign it a “parent” (right column: Page attributes). This is necessary for doing the page to appear in Menu and in Breadcrumbs. When the page is published, go to Appearance –> Menus (left column of admin interface), and Add your page to menu, and then drag it in right position under its parent.

    No problem at all. But, in the meanwhile I corrected both.

    If you have any problem, or if didn’t explained myself well, don’t hesitate to contact me, also privately if necessary at sg.biondo [at] gmail [dot] com.

    I know a little bit of this WordPress system, but I take in consideration that not all are so confident with it, so don’t be feared to ask. 😉

  3664. Biondo says:

    Nice that finally someone posts a new page 🙂

    For me DM or TDM is OK. BR, not.
    I’m not so competitive to look for scores and so on … but OK, a weekly match would be good, also to know each other better.

    I think Italy is GMT+2, so 7 PM GMT+1 means 8 PM here. For me would be better half an hour or an hour later. Thursday is OK.

    If you have SG 1.1b4 we could play in Terra Nova. It’s a fun server with nice new maps, and most of the time with no player (apart from sporadic presence of Donut or Lon).

  3665. ZaPaTa says:

    about hosting, my site is running on http://www.000webhost.com/
    what is fine and free. small thing, It can be down for a couple of hours from time to time.

    About the URL, I think this is specified by the parked .TK
    domain. I can turn it off, so we have a different, original altavista url, but it makes it harder to find for new people (imagine you saying the altavista-url ingame :))

    I agree in the search for a nice chat, but I have no clue about software for it. JJ en I run MSN Messenger here, but I don’t like it. Keep me in touch, I leave it to the Pro’s here!

    About me: I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, artist, writer, translator, photographer (well, my skills…My job is graphic design :D)

    • Biondo says:

      Zapata, let me start replying from the end of your comment: you are a graphic designer? Wow. I think Mope is a web designer, and me, as you know, I ended up in doing a similar job (though as a self-thought). This is fun! 🙂 I don’t know about Jesse, but seems we are mostly a clan of designers.
      I would be very curious to see the productions of you both, but I understand also that you may have privacy concerns and want to take real life apart.

      Ok, now about hosting.
      I don’t know http://www.000webhost.com/, but it’s OK for me if it let us a doing custom installation of WordPress. If they give us a FTP access to our space and all necessary things (a database, PHP) I should be able to migrate this WP install from Altervista to their servers.

      About the chat.
      2 days ago @spi wrote to me saying he would like to help our clan, and he offered to host a Jabber server in Ballerbude for us (Jabber is a protocol of instant messaging). I used Jabber when I was admin in Baller, and it’s OK for me (as a client I use a software named Gajim, but I live my life in Linux. Sure for Windows there is something else… Mope uses Trillian, don’t know if in Windows or in Mac).
      If all members agree, I can ask @spi to let our clan to use Ballerbude Jabber hosting service.

  3666. JesseJames says:

    Lol my pc is so old that I play always in a little screen with bad settings, 🙂

  3667. Biondo says:

    Thank you very much Bart!! Well, I’m not so jealous about my modest “artwork”… consider it as Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/).

  3668. Bart says:

    Wow, nice work. Maybe write the IP’s to it.

  3669. Mope says:

    Oh, I see your monitor is wide. My resolution is equal to game resolution – 1280×1024, I don’t have those problems. But 24 is too much. It’s great only for pumpgun, maybe )) But you are right, we must move this kind of discussions to subpages, otherwise this page becomes over-flooded.

  3670. Biondo says:

    Monitor resolution 1s 1400×1050 and SG ingame resolution is 1280×1024. I generally play in windowed mode.

  3671. Mope says:

    Hmm, I use the 1.1b version. And it works for me. It’s not changing even if you change it drastically?

    • Biondo says:

      Sorry it works, yes. I was issuing the wrong command.
      But for my monitor/resolution 7 is way too small, I use a size of 24!

  3672. Mope says:

    What crosshair size do you use? I’ve came to conclusion that 7 is perfect for making some nice headshots.
    I believe, everybody here is common with this feature, but I sometimes forget the command, so I’ll just drop it here:

    from the console:
    /cg_crosshairsize 7

    or 9, or 10, or 11, or even 555 – depends on you

    • Biondo says:

      To be honest I use the default setting, and didn’t know of /cg_crosshairsize. Thanks for info.

      • Mope says:

        @ Biondo, than it will improve your hit skills. A lot. I’ll better run to find a cover.

        • Biondo says:

          I’ve seen that actually I’m using a size of 8 (default is 4). But if I try to change it via console, nothing happens. Should I restart SG or at least issue a vid_restart? (I use SG 1.0 now, because of many problems I had withe beta version).

  3673. Mope says:

    By the way, tactics. Let’s start with weapons: I love Colts, but having the pair of them is taking too much time to reload, so you’re loosing in overall score. So my choice is Schofield & Colt. One for quick reload, other – for ruthless killing.

  3674. JesseJames says:

    Maybe we can write here our strategies, problems questions,…?

  3675. Mope says:

    Jabber is ok with me, I use trillian as IM program, it supports jabber.

  3676. Biondo says:

    No, not in the game. Outside. I was used to use Jabber to communicate with other Baller admins… it was good. You can also leave a message if the recipient is not online, and he will read it as soon as he connects to jabber.

  3677. Mope says:

    I understand, we want some way of communication during the game? Or just for the site?

  3678. Biondo says:

    I see there are some problems… The site has been put online in hurry. I told Jesse “What do you think of this site?” and 2 hours later Jesse answered “The site is online”! 🙂 lol

    No problem, we have time to correct all problems.

    The site is slow tonight, very slow. I’m not happy with this hosting service. Again, we have to find a different solution.

    And we have yo find a way to communicate (something like a chat). Yesterday @spi offered us the chance to host a Jabber account for the clan (Jabber is like a private chat). Maybe we should accept. He wants to help Lame clan.

  3679. Mope says:

    OK, you have to be logged in to see the private comment, otherwise it leads to an error page. I’ve got email about this comment, entered the link, saw the error page and closed it.

  3682. Biondo, really… WOW!!! Thanks for the credits! This is truly nice work. I hope you’ll get more info on “unknown territories” so that you can add it on this wonderful map. It gives a really picturesque insight to the whole thing. Respect for your work (and talent). 🙂

    Nice new theme guys! I suspect that main culprit for this is Biondo. Congratulations man, for one more great Italian design. BTW, have you ever thought of joining Pininfarina or Bertone?! 😛 See you in game! 🙂
