If it's a wish, then i wish for winbolo to take place in a 3-d environment, no more 2-d.

3D in what way? There was an add-on for a 3D viewer for macbolo where you view everything from a first-tank-view but it'd be near damn impossible to play like that due to the fact that you need to see the landscape around your tank in order to put your cursor in its appropriate square.

I'd like to wish for 3D sounds. Most players don't need this but it would help out in the big open games and perhaps help newbies in stricts as well.

when i say making it 3-d, i mean like the original mario bros. and then it changed until finally mario 64 came out in a complete 3-d world. of course it would totally change the gameplay, but i still think it could be done. especially with the if the whole map showing all bases was shrunken down and placed in one corner. I don't know man.

perhaps an lgm sniping mode! lgms come from all sides and you stand in the center and see how well you fare...also ...ive been wanting to say this for a while:

perhaps it could be integrated to joust mode:

the more and more tank kills/pills u take ect you get some "WBN POINTS" with em you can go to our "store" and buy new bullets, faster tire treads, and other cool stuff. note this would ONLY BE IN "DUEL MODE"....and if you register you should get points or soemthing too, to get ppl to register more.....if these features appeared i would DEFINITELY register to it n pay.

If we did this winbolo, it wouldn't be winbolo any longer.

It would be something like this, www.neopets.com

Now, if we were to do something like that, it would make the bad players able toe beat players like Zach and Sev and Ud. If we were to do this it should only change the look of your tank. Such as design, shape, color. not the attributes.

renbot.winbolo.us

very insightful ren and i completely agree....but:

train tracks suxor we need tank treads showing up on the ground and lgm splatter marks

...is the first thing that Suicide Jockey has ever said that could be good for the winbolo community

Jan 10, 2004 02:26

yes, that is the only thing ever that has been good, none of the work programming put into winbolo appz has been for good. asshole

If I had to choose between software effort and not having posts like the third post under topic 'Hebrew Hammer', I choose not having those offensive posts. Software writing is of little value when combined with hate, stereotype, racism and other kinds of un-called for garbage. Nothing could drive away more new members of the community more quickly than the afore-mentioned post, among many others. KWSA's right.

goddammit pplz! don't change, winbolo! <skins would b nice tho>

and I think its assinine remarks like this that drive people who are dedicated to developing utilities that contribute to the community away. get your head out of your ass. kthxbye (btw, there wouldn't even be racist remarks on this forum at all if the forum policy was updated to allow deletion of that kind of garbage.... but thanks for skirting the source of the actual problem rather than pointing it out.)

I think appointing someone who's honest enough to delete offensive material without deleting other things is a great idea. And again, I don't give a damn if someone writes bolo so well you get gold bars in the mail just for playing....if they spew hate and racism and garbage, the community is better off without them. Somehow Elvis manages to write utilities and still act like a human being. Others can too. That my opinion; it will not change.

Jan 10, 2004 20:25

what if i give you a cookie?

Jan 10, 2004 20:31

hehehehe, leeve the racists alone pplz, what have they done to u?

Jan 10, 2004 20:36

What would also be nice is if, when jousting, player's armor status could be seen. If it were not for lag, this would not be necessary, but it's hard to tell if you've hit or not.

well, its a good thing your opinion doesn't matter. Racism against the racist's makes you no better than them. That is my opinion; it will not change.

:?: Racists are not categorized as a race.

Give me the cookie Q. Hand it over SLOWLY, and nobody gets hurt. :D

no! its chocolate chip.....

I'm just curious if Acro or Knight evens knows who SJ is? I'm Black i.e. and SJ and I used to go at it all the time in the channel. I don't think that was a bad thing at all. In fact I enjoyed it and think there should be more people that tell people to, "shut the fuck up Donnie!! You're outta your element!! Besides whether SJ is racist or not doesn't hurt the community. Who do you know that isn't going to participate in something b/c one person doesn't like them. Someone like that doesn't deserve shit anyway. I don't know. I haven't smoked in five days so I want to kill someone anyway. *shrug

Jan 10, 2004 21:34

Maaaaaaaaan, just forget it. They're nihilists skywalker.

Jan 10, 2004 21:36

Please, if you guys'd like to start a flamewar, post it somewhere else. You could even post your own flame-topic!

Jan 10, 2004 21:37

Having said that, let's get some more ideas in.

Jan 10, 2004 21:45

Since the line between 'right' and 'wrong' in today's world has dissolved in favor of 'If it's fun, it's ok', then I'm accomplishing nothing here. If I stand alone, so be it.

This is asked with all respect, but what does this have to do with new features?

Jan 10, 2004 23:05

Acro,

not that I have anything against you, which I don't. But love it or leave it. If you don't like certain community members keep it to yourself. Don't cry and whine over it. Most of us are men here and I think you're one too. I just don't see any need to get poopy pants

Jan 10, 2004 23:33

Since when has anyone who was unhappy with something here kept it to themselves? What would some parts of a forum otherwise be for?

The trash talking is unfortunate, but expected. What really amazes me is the amount of people that rush to DEFEND that behavior.

Gee, I better not act like such a square or my manhood will be in jeopardy? Gimme a break.

Okay, please, back on topic. Perhaps scroll buttons along the viewer's window would be nice so you don't have to take your hand off of the mouse to scroll.

Jan 11, 2004 07:26

actually mouse scrolling wouldn't be that bad, even without scrollbars. The mouse middle scroll for using gunsights is a nice fun thing to use. well not for everyone I guess most people who programmed those type things didn't hand them out, I know I didn't
