The sad sad state of DP's servers

[loial21]

First Murdock please do not let the kick warning bother you. Can you please provide the server name you were giving a kick warning. Can you also explain why you did not follow admin's wishes?

IOD server has been called out to update. FYI

Speaking of why do they still appear on alpha server list and graph does not? They still have not updated thier server list fist and second they are how many builds behind.

Heh, there's always at least one server playing pbcup.  Usually 5 or 6.

IOD is only 1 build behind.  Graffiti is like... I dunno, 5?  IOD has the 1.8x build while graffiti is still on 1.7x.  But yeah, they need to update.  There are some handy new things in 1.81.  Handy things that just might happen to help identify cheaters, which you so hate.   That's as much detail as I'm going to go into on the subject.  Herb said he was going to update it a while back, but it hasn't happened yet for whatever reason.  I suggset that we all keep bugging them until they update.

Thanks.
How many builds behind and poor maps and admin abuse does it take to make a server not appear on the server list?

Notice I am not taking sides just wanting to understand bottom line logic.

Jitspoet why not open the subject of cheating and be specific, this is a open forum?

 If you don't have the time do retort with out being specific then say so then make time, at that point make time to justify allowing cheats/and or spoofs above all else.

Otherwise why be coy roy?

I'm witnessing a trend where the exceptors of any map is fine is being finely suppressed by few opinionated professional mappers/developers. When they should being worried about cheating/spoofing more than the aesthetic of one's player skin and or map.

Think about it.  How many times have you seen software protection go uncracked?  Ever?  If it's popular enough, somebody will find a way to crack it.  And this is closed-source protection that full companies have dedicated millions of dollars and many years of research and development to.  It's often cracked before the software is even on the shelves and rarely more than a day afterward.  Why is this?  Because it's impossible to make something 100% crack proof.

This means we need to target the cheaters rather than the cheats.  Detect cheats not try to disable them.  How (or even if) they're detected is being kept under wraps because if I go into specifics it will be far too easy for cheaters to circumvent the detection.

That being said, when was the last time you saw someone cheating?

[loial21]

I dont know when was the last time Ganja or Bob played? 

Or any one from those clan / hacks

With that being said what about spoofing.

Should I find a cure for cancer and create world peace while I'm at it?

That being said, I don't see why we need to expend effort on it when there is other stuff to do./quote]

I did not see one logical argument to protect the honor (integrity) of a moral player's name sake. 

Jitspoet,
   No i desire I sense of urgency to be fair and balanced. GOD DANGIT JITS NOW I'M  A FOX NEWS correspondence.

Ironfist,
   Again I re-interate turn your focus of hacking to the good side, then we will be impressed. Untill then type away on the forum and spoof away  on the servers. Your kind is shunned and laughed at as being a pathetic scourge.

"Fox news"


"Balanced"

I wanna go back to the original topic that zim posted.  I just wanna say I just began playing again recently and got v. 14 and I am totally impressed.  I like the jamming, I like the cap-ends-round, I think that excrement should have been done years ago.  Finally its centering more on tactics and aim, and not "spray the corner until someone runs into it"  good job 
oh yeah, i wanna give a shout out to all my niggwas in the southside, to my lover merl, my ho-on-the-side DirtyTac-ho, and my babies daddy Tray-Tray.
