Yeah, back in the 90's I used to set my alarm for 3 - 4 am, that's when extern ran. But I'd only play that dedicated in big games, not everyday games.

We were all a little younger then too. :) Burning the candle at both ends and the middle too... I'm getting too old for that.

Which brings us full circle to the point;
What exactly are you monitoring? What rule that you made
needs enforcing?

This post is about clarifying your pov. What script are you watching for?

I was actually refering to a script that would play an alarm.wav file and wake you up if someone was hitting your grid.

Everything was younger then, we were just free of the dialup modem. Telnet
killed the local BBS, and with it the romantic games of our youth.

No rules on the open games. I havn't quite figured out what to do for the closed games yet.

The "Point" is, that I will try to accomidate any kind of closed game that you would like to play, but my time is limited and I would like GuestOps to help in that area. This server is for the comunity.

c'mon, one public script that is underhanded? TAG?


I love it when ppl run that script to knock me off. Fire up
ram's passive gridder, turn on the saveme option, crank
up the cannon on the planet. Mow around, let them chase
after me and eat cannon. Done and done.

Tag is only a problem in truces, but then again truces are
unnatural to begin with.


If the truce allows you to have cannons set to protect a base or the "all assets may be used" to protect your base, then you can pod the tagger. Yes, it involves the fringes of truce behavior, but then it is the tagger runs into the planet. The tagger will whine that you broke truce, but it will be his script that caused him to be podded.

The thing i like the most about the new TWGS is the individual delay settings. if you want a game with no or minimal scripting slow it down so pdrops/photon/kill/tag scripts dont work fast enough to be efficient to use. if the server is for the community as you say you will respond to the requests to either speed up a specific game or slow it down. just my 2 cp

Yes, we can do that.
