Yeah, I would tie something like this into the global stats (http://dpball.com/forums/index.php?topic=303.0) idea I had.  It will be a while before I can implement it, though.  Too much other stuff to take care of first.

What number of priority is "Getting rid of spoofs, and limiting cheats"?
L   A   M  E

Thank you Damien I was trying to find the global stats thing. Jitspoe made a point of  why does not want global stats. We were the only people playing pickup and a newbie walked in. Being the nice gamer I am I went soft on both of them, point being that could effect my global stat. My point to him was so freaking what that is far out weighed by spoofing

GET RID OF THE SPOOFING. ONE NAME ONE PLAYER, THAT IS ALL>

We will. But first, the maps. If there is a player impersonating another, you should know becasue they probably won't act like them. After that, just ignore it.

Yeah, I"d much rather have the new map format.
Title: Re: DP name login type deal?
Post by: loial21 on June 29, 2005, 12:31:51 AM
Yeah small fun maps.  Fast to download fast to play. Unlike these Myst style maps :(

BTW what is worse bad maps or cheaters? 

nuff said

** EDIT** ;(

Iron your comments are exactly why you should figure out a Global stat thing with login and registrations.  What you should do is figure out a way to defeat any thing you can think of to f up said system, then I will be impressed. Until then have fun painting pretty pictures and making god offal :) maps that go on and on and on and on!!! These maps are not intended for any thing less than 5v5  consumption.  Make maps that appeal to a smaller community which is what we have so far.

Bad maps.
Title: Re: DP name login type deal?
Post by: loial21 on June 29, 2005, 02:12:00 AM
Really now you have my attention. My first responce is you perfer to cheaters then non "Jitspoe" worthy maps. That does not compute sir, perhaps that is my fault for wanting fairness above ugliness :) 

What sez you and your kind.

If there's someone cheating, just ban them.

Sorry spoofing and cheating are one in the same to me. Both unethical and amoral. That is why I have a huge sense of urgency to explain, no begging someone to fix this problem.
Title: Re: DP name login type deal?
Post by: Eiii on June 29, 2005, 08:00:06 PM
The difference is that cheating gives you an advantge.

Maybe have something that will tie someones name to there IP address that they use, so they can just keep making more and more names ect. I know a few people that would do that :P my 2 cents in...

YEA! lol later
Title: Re: DP name login type deal?
Post by: loial21 on June 30, 2005, 03:35:55 AM
Again jits is this what you covet?  Amoral gameing?

Lame asses, come up with defeats to spoofing, any thing else is "Childs PLay" fo mo :)    why u so weak? Untill then be quiet!!!!!


*edit covet =  to harsh but true


ps eiii so your telling me if someone is using your name and then  banned or is used, regarding un- lawful acts and when you try these servers ur shuned and beet down and the kicked for being a immoral player, you wont be PO ?
Title: Re: DP name login type deal?
Post by: Eiii on June 30, 2005, 03:58:24 AM
If I understand what your saying, if someone spoofs your name, acts badly, later you may pay for it.

This, i've never seen to be a problem. It's obvious that someone is acting differently, and a quick host check online will confirm it.

Just so you know- 'not a problem' doesn't mean it doesn't happen. If someone spoofs jits' name, and says "OMFG I R T3H merryZORZLOLOLOL!!11" I won't believe it. No one will. It happened, but it wasn't a problem. Just clearing that up.

The problem is it does happen, subtley and often by others who want to make someone or someones server look bad.  As of latley no ones is playing much so make the pretty skins and shiny water, that is way more important :)
