I did say that I was out of line accusing merlin of playing on his own server. But as for the rest of my comments, i stand behind them whole heartedly. It is Merlin's server and I respect his right to do with it as he pleases, I just won't respect him as a sysop.

Marduk, non of the scripts i have posted on my site are "throw-aways" I use every one of them when the occasion calls for it. If you are using the latest posted version of one of my scripts for something, you can bet i'm using the exact same script for doing the same thing. Until you contribute to the "tradewars community" keep your mouth shut. I don't make my scripts to impress you, I make them to be functional and fast, which I believe they are and I'm sure most who use them would agree.

Suggestion to all sys-ops. as i have stated before truces dont work. but its a personal thing if you want to use it fine. But as Jerry at coast games has stated ship buy outs crash twgs games. it happened in tourney's I think one of the HHT games. it is a rule at Coastgames. No ship buy outs. make it a rule for game saftey if nothing else. By the way I was on a corp that forgot that rule and the ceo did a buy out. Jerry reminded us, we appoligized he took some ships back and just like adults we worked it out.
Many sys-ops are new to this and its a slippery slope when they try to fix a problem/ mistake (either theres or a player) and the jello hits the Fan.
so players give the sys-ops the benefit of the doubt. sys-ops be careful what you do in tedit once a game begins.
we all learn from our mistakes, we hope

Now to the sys-ops that tedit for self or buddies, you only hurt yourself. Remember Have fun this is a Game.
And Happy Halloween everyone. HHT is on the count down good luck all who play.

SupG, where are your scripts posted nowadays? The link I had for the Scripters Tavern went bad about 10 days ago or so, and I haven't been able to find any new one.

Thanks in advance,
galaxi

Been longer than that methinks.. Or I'm just getting bored-



His page needs to be up though.

I wanna find a game with a 6 year truce..

Heh..

I wanna find a non nub server.

I had to reformat my webserver a couple weeks ago. Had some hardware and virus issues.. I just haven't gotten around to getting apache installed and configured correctly yet.

Hopefully soon.

SupG

well how do i sum this up....rule adding, and tediting by the sysop "after" the game has started is well......weak.
yeah it's your server do what u want...

overall this is just weak merlin

Any script that denies other players the right to play Tradewars (especially in a game where a truce is in effect - Game H) is not fair in my humble opinion... Maybe in tournaments anything goes... but rules are posted to be obeyed (albeit the malicous RESULTS of that ship buying script you made were added today, as this is a permanent game). And btw, I never play tw - just host it. Yer a kewl script writer - I'll give ya that. I am just being fair as I see it. All others are welcome to respond. -Merlin

hrm let's see...just as i said to merlin...that's just weak marduk.
i wont even bother...next

You know this is interesting. Other than the blatant fact that you are an idiot and obviously everything you say here is more than a little childish, I'd like to take a second to disect the load of crap you have spewed forth into your post. First we must declare the fundamental fact known as sysop priviledge (ie) his board he can do what he wants. We have Merlin who for some odd reason seems to believe that there can be such a thing as fair play during a truce time. There are some sysops out there that do abuse sysop priviledge so lets dig through your post to see what we have. You were working on a script (so what?) and needed a game to test it on (i'd have figured a high lever script writer would have done this on a personal server but i'll assume you aren't completely daft and have done that and are now trying it out on an actively played server). you complain that you cant do anything to defend your sector .. hmm .. if there werent truce breaking jackasses like you then who would you defend it from? OK you didnt plan to play (who cares) you stuck around for the $300 cash (I dont need it so I dont care) .. WAIT .. $300 to sit around, colo and kill newbies?? well obviously you mean after the truce is over, umm. Don't you? Sometimes with truce braking jackasses like you it's hard to tell. OHHH .. there is a point here you didn't mention .. you were podding people by blowing up ports .. while a truce was in effect? tsk tsk tsk! You get warned and you get your panties in a knot so you decide to be crafty. can't blame you for trying. You buy up 8k planets and did anyone say anything? Not that I know of. Then you then decide to buy up all the ships. This is a different story because now new people cant play and people who fuse themselves into oblivion (sad to say one of my corpies did) can't get back into the game. Merlin removes a few scouts and they're bought up again and since Merlin has his ideal of fairplay during a truce he decided to revise the truce and do what? Ask you to stop doing it? WOW!!! Now there's a hardass being sooo unfair to you. So you ***** and moan on fedcomm that your done playing (once again .. who cares?). You got disconnected? It happens, wow a router or two could have hiccupped between you and his server and disconnected you and no one else because no one else may have been using that path to his server. Now we are at the inevitable accusation of the idiot. Wow .. Merlin must be playing on his own server. Ok where is your proof? What causes you to be suspicious? There is a corpless wonder making planets? Hold on, there is more than one of those in that game. Wait!! .. I thought cheating sysops just edited themselves planets and cash. C'mon, gimme some proof or something to justify your accusation. Now to Merlin, shame on you for the horrific lies told. I think it unfair to kewl script writers everywhere to add SupG to their ranks .. what i've seen of his they are ok .. but hardly kewl.

rofl...dr doog, finally came out of your hole eh. weak again...now i know why i always thought u were a newb.

Bottom line is people are trying to violate the nature of the truce. There is a truce for 6 months to allow people to build up. If we have morons that blind warp themselves into sector 0, and there are no ships to get back into… I guess that means that they do not play.

This would tell me that SupG and corpie is simply not good enough to blow up “newbies” that have a few level 6 planets. Sure anybody can blow up a newbie that is out and about, but it requires just a little bit of thinking invading a sector that has a few planets.

You also, openly admit to, not only talking, but answering yourself too. I would throw a little trash talk about that; however, it is obvious that there are more people in your head than just one and I’m severely outnumbered.

If you want a server to just test scripts on… be nice and I might allow you the honor and the privilege to have just half of my server’s ip address.

bone,

yeah my eyes have been opened....i see what u mean

i still think ur a dick though....jk hahaha

Hmmm...sounds familiar. That is Zentocks server, supg. He controls what goes on there by calling the sysop and complaining all the time. I think I posted about this EXACT same scenario a while back. I bought up the ships and he sold some of them for me, etc. I warned people to stay away as he changes games in midstream to cater to a select few individuals. I like Merlin ok as a person, but to say he didnt anticipate it when I did the same thing a few months ago is unfair. When a sysop goes to the trouble of posting rules, he needs to post them all. You dont change them in the middle of a game no matter how much a little baby like zentock whines. Zentock sucks so he has found a sysop to obey his every whim. Perhaps now even more REAL players will see this and stay away and Zentock can beg even more newbies to vote for him in TWAwards as this seems to be his only claim to fame..."I got 5 votes in Twawards last year".

Your comment leaves me to believe that we have played in the past; however, I do not recall seeing you around. It is obvious that you remember me; unfortunately, I must not have thought too much of your game play to take note of who you are.

I’m sure it is just me being “forgetful”. You must forgive me. I have a bad habit of not remembering people who I declare as being irrelevant.

Please don’t tell me that you are another proud member of the alliance.

SupG, keep us posted when you get your website back online. Many of us would like to see those scripts. I am just now learning how scripts work, I just registered ATTAC which can use some REXX scripts. I found out it lacks some decent offensive scripts. All it has is a Photon and move script, no Ship Capture script, no invade planet script, no pdrop planet script, no twarp attack script when someone hits a fig. J-TWAT has some offensive scripts but it is buggy. I haven't learned how to use TWX yet.

Invade planet script?? What does that do exactly? I'm pretty sure you'd be better off with a good macro.

From what I reason, it can invade the planet, and go back to your other planet or sector and get more Figs to come back and invade again until your ship blows up or the planet is invaded.

Of course most players like to do this by hand. More fun that way.
