    Hey Gunny,
    JOIN LP OR DIE!! [9]


    whats the matter? we beating you too much lately ;)


    no matter what side of RP you'll play, you'll do it well m8. Good luck with whatever you decide.


    Personally, i would keep the police badge, and be maybe a bunch of police impersonaters (that are really pirates), nothing worse than fraudsters huh!


    Does this mean we might have a new {X} tagged clan then?

    Okay, well,
    im not really the type of person who camplains when killed. In fact, i do not care at all about being killed. I even ask people to kill me sometimes because i cant be bothered to dock!. Its just the way it was done, i felt was done with guns, rather than brains.


    If BG are going to shoot first ask question later then im sure i will do the same in future.


    I do love this server and enjoy playing on it, like you say, i have to bear with it even if i have some critics. and the RP isnt exactly perfect.


    I like BG_Fying_Si's idea of giving somebody a 5 seconds chance if they happen to F1 in straight on top of somebody. Si is a very honourable BG guy.

    oh and i really have enough of this fucking "oh that is unfair" "oh this guy killed me" "i lost all my stuff"
    THIS IS A FIGHTING GAME AND IF YOU GUYS PLAY IT YOU RISK TO LOOSE EVERYDAY


    are you reffering these characteristics to me?

    I understand, however, what about F1 INTO combat ? i.e. i F1 switch char to appear next to my target. Nothing is said about this.

    Si and Wavey,


    Even in Daedalus, for the sake of fair RP, i dock my char in Reese for protection of daedalus, i wouldnt leave it by the X3043 gate and just wait for somebody to jump in so i can F1 in on them. Sure, then there will be a chase, in which i will attempt to kill them, if they dont have permission to enter, which i will ask the rest of the LP online before i go hunt them. Its a shame BG do not also do this, instead, i had permission to enter Cust with my store, and was killed when i got there so i lost all my weapons which took me a long time to collect. After about an hour of saying, hey this is unfair, i got a token few weapons refunded to me by one of the BG and a begrudging appology which took a long time to extract. Having spoken to OP about it, hes going to be restoring my char.


    The point im making here, is that the outlook of BG seems to be that its members attitude is to win 'at any cost' even if it means doing underhanded deeds which border on cheating, which damages their repuation.


    Im doing you a favour by telling you this, otherwise your just going to find that nobody will RP with you, at least now you'll know why. Its constructive criticism, i.e. its an organised and subjective criticism that something can be done about, im not just sitting around saying your all assholes am i.


    All i asked for is for BG to be sporting, and dock at the nearest Battleship in dublin, rather than leave their chars at the hyperion jh. To do this is not amazingly time consuming. the nearest place to dock nr. hyperion jh is 15.2km. How can that be such a problem ? because theres a 10% better chance of F1-ing in straight on top of the train thats why, and winning is all that counts, not the RP.


    Oh, and as Si points out, loosing money should not be an issue, i agree that you should not be prepared to gamble money if you cant afford to loose it. Well, im not soar about this, how could i be, when witnesses were SL Gu$t and |RIP|Criminal, they were both hired for 25 mil each plus a 10 mil bonus per BG killed. This meant my trade run was not for profit, it was just for a bit of RP action, which never happened. Although i didnt make a deal about it when it happened, it left a bitter aftertaste, and that combined with the other instance leaves me with no option but to leave BG out of my Role Play from now on.


    p.s. read the Mercs thread, you will have my Mercs opinions on what happened, they are not happy that they failed their mission in an unfair way.


    With these threatening 'ban' words going around, it seems to me that some people think they are above playing fairly. Well if you want to carry on, i see it that BG are destroying RP rather than creating it, the very thing that people come here for, and that in turn means more people will leave.


    Im dropping this subject now, i've make enough good points, its all here, and clearly there is no point in saying anymore on the subject, especially if it just sidestepped into accusations of F1'ing out in combat, which is a completely different issue. Im never going to go into Cust, or do a Sol run again, this way i can enjoy fair RP with honourable clans.


    :evil:

  • background to the California / Sol blockade

    i made a request before about BG docking before they can F1 out of dublin. this way, if they F1 back into dublin, they dont appear right next to the hyperion gate. i was killed when no BG around, then suddently they just appeared right next to me.


    this is unsporting, and i expected this to be addressed, and it can be if BG want to be sports. but no sign of this happening yet.


    i was also told that i cannot park my fighter by the hyperion jh, then F1 out, and wait for BG to appear then F1 in and catch them by surprise. return the favour.


    so what gives? nobody want a fair game? i do, i like the idea of the blockade, i want it, but only if played fairly.


    i would like to hear a comment from BG on this issue.


    :(


    p.s. it doesn't annoy me, because i can just go trade on a different run if people dont play fair.

    Wouldnt recommend it unless your obsessed with computers and your prepared to put in quite ridiculous amounts of study. And the studying doesnt stop as new languages are being developed all the time. If you do a degree in computer science you stand the best chance and get handed jobs much easier, but i didnt, i still made it, but people do hold it against me that i don't have a degree so i have to proove myself more than most people just to stay in my job. You will also need to learn business skills if you want to be a consultant developer (a degree in economics helps). they can get £500 GBP p/d, footballer money m8 ;). IMO, its a very unstable line of work and although i can do it, its convincing people when i dont have a degree, often i'm showing people earning 3x my salary how to do thier job!. the most stable thing you can do in the IT industry is develop your own software to sell. But try it, its not easy finding ideas that people would want. And then they want it for free. then you can sell your program to big companies later and retire.


    desktop and network admins earn about 2/3 the salary of developers. But theyre job is much much easier but longer hours.


    Also, remember equal opportunities. to satisfy that a company is doing their part, they will hire a girl for the job if one shows up for the interview. doesnt matter if you answered all the questions correctly and was amazing. less girls in the industry means they have to have 1 if they have a certain amount of men. its life, it suxx. the law is sexist, not me :).


    Life is short, making the right descision on your career is important. Hope this insight to the industry helps. Good luck m8.

    Fox , good points m8, well im a professional programmer in real life ;) ,but i dont normally fix the pcs even though i can. :)


    also, try this OP, clear out your prefetch folder
    C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch
    sometimes freaky things happen when things crash, and the prefetch gets in a tangle. its only crap that gets saved for loading into ram m8.


    other useful things are here....

    have a rummage m8


    get a perfmon up aswell and get some analysis done (do start...run... type perfmon in the box, youll see what i mean).

  • server

    OP , as you seem to be reading this thread and not the server is down thread...


    repost from other thread...


    Seems to be around the same time each night, also, this time it went extrememly laggy and worsened. looks to me the hallmarks of a DDOS attack !?! that can be the only thing thats causing this, because if the server is good as i hear some people say, then it must be the connection.


    If the application is crashing (i.e. not responding) then theres several win admin tools you can use to detect this from the command line including tasklist, taskkill,
    /? - for help


    taskkill info...

    and schtasks
    info....
    http://www.microsoft.com/resources/docum...s.mspx?mfr=true


    hope the above is useful info to OP if he doesnt already know it. you can use the above tools to make yourself an automated application rebooter with batch files.


    if it is a DDOS attack which is what im thinking then theres tools you can get to filter it out, but ive not seen them cheap. because i think theres a lot of very low level coding going on in there.


    in addition, after reading your post ^^, they are connectiong via telnet, im not sure this is so good to use, telnets are notorios for being hacked. hope its a good one. also, if you changed anything about the OS lately, check the permissions are okay for the telnet users.

  • Having lag problems

    definately a lag problem on server, i had trouble killing all the nomads in the lair. i never normally do, instead they just built up and up until i had to run for my life, there was like thousands, and i could hit many of them for the jumps.


    i also thought it was my pc, but its in very good order, just been fragmented too, now i see others having trouble too.

  • SERVER IS DOWN

    i dont know why the server is down so long, cannot you just make a scheduled task which executes a .bat file every 30 mins which in turn checks the status of the application is 0x1. if its not running, or crashed, then terminate the process and relaunch the server app. this little check could be made every half hour say, just so we get server back up and running.

  • background to the California / Sol blockade

    Si, Thanks for the understanding in the matter, i feel myself that if everone on the server could only F1 in a station, then there would'nt be such issues of F1'ing INTO OR out of battles.


    OP - It would be good if this could be incorporated into a later mod i feel, to just disallow it when not docked, but then, that just depends on whether its possible to do so.


    I've only used F1 1 time ever when not docked, that was i think the event Si was mentioning when i was being chased through Sol after running the blockade, but it didnt matter anyway, because somebody just F1'ed to Earth and killed me before i got there anyway. Other than that, i see no reason to use F1 outside of a station, and i probly wont ever use F1 again outside of a station so far as i can see.


    as OP wishes, i'll drop subject now, i've said all i needed to say.


    On the subject of the actual blockade, i think its a great idea, and adds much more fun to the server. :) And BG are doing a good job.

  • background to the California / Sol blockade



    Okay, well listen to this, BG Clan do F1 at hyperion gate. Im with 2 fully paid escorts (SL_Gust and |RIP|Crimanal|C|, and no BG or anybody are blockading dublin at the time. I get to the Hyperion jh, i think i can pay my escorts now, so i get the transfer screen up. All of a sudden a BG appear straight in front of me next to the hyperion gate, yes, screen message, Departing Player BG_****, New Player BG_****, so, i died less than 2 seconds later as nobody had time to react.


    I've withheld the name of the BG player, because i know a lot of BG do this little F1 cheat. So it would be unfair to just accuse 1 person.


    I ask, for this blockade, if its in effect, then can 1 BG person stay in Dublin rather than go off and do other things until we get there, and can BG Dock at a station so events like this do not happen.


    If you disagree, then i will put my fighter char next to hyperion JH, and F1 into battle aswell, and see how you like being F1 Jumped.


    If anybody is saying i'm lying, well, i have 2 witnesses, my escorts, Criminal and Gust, ask them!.
