w00t! I started teaching myself today how to move, shoot, and mine with one hand whilst building/planting/harvesting with the other. (one on the board, one on the mouse). Its kinda a pain in the ass to start with, but im quickly getting used to it. I'm sure it will pay off sometime tho. I hope this will make me a better, more efficient winboloist!
How about right-click and drag for scrolling?
now, that would be SHWEET!
btw, smack talk is a long lived bolo tradition. Us oldfolk defend it becuase it is the bolo way .... n'stuff .... you sux rox acro :p

Yes, discrimination against discriminators is bad, Min. *sigh* What would also be nice is a third type of "fast" terrain so map-makers can make better designs.
[quote="Min
one of the things I hate .. is discrimination .. for any reason, that includes discriminating against people who choose to act different, such as "racists" I was not defending their actions, just their right to act however they like without discrimination.

You're attempting to seperate the 'action' from the individual. This is how the 'insanity' defense got started. This is kinda scary. Make sure you don't say anything that might discriminate against the guy who is knifing you in the gut......Make sure you don't discriminate against the pedophile as your kids are being attacked. 'Excuse me sir, I don't agree with what your're doing, but I don't want to offend you.' I WILL discriminate against anyone who supports torture, genocide, and heinous acts. I'd run them out of town if I had the say-so. Count on it. Wars have started because people didn't want to put a lid on atrocities. Anyone who verbally supports atrocities will likely practice them if given the chance. These people are filling up our jails.
Is this 'smack-talk' good for bolo? No. Is it helpful in any shape or form? No. Is anyone justified using it at any time? No. It's destructive. It makes me sick. Nothing you can say in defense of it is going to make any sense because IT doesn't make any sense.
Like us going into Iraq. It was the right thing to do. Now all we have to do is tell the Sunni's, straighten up or else we'll divide Iraq into 3 separate countries. the Shite's get the oil and the south, the kurds the oil and the north, the sunni's... well you get the sand and the middle.
It should already be clear that I discriminate against people whose beliefs are wrong and destructive, not people with beliefs that differ from mine just for the sake of there being a difference. You did a little *twisty* with my words. And I may not have said you condone illegal activity, but I get the sense you wouldn't do much to block it, if given the chance; for fear of not being politically correct.
So you do agree the trashtalk in winbolo is unacceptable. That was my main point, as well. And yes, MM, this is a good flame. :D
Is having a strong stomach a requirement for being here? Is it recommended, or helpful? Then something's very wrong.
Wow, there's alot of anger there, min. Calm down. It's ok. Gotcha kinda hot and bothered eh, heh. My original beef was with SJ's troubling posts, not anything written by you.
You don't need to look to me to decide what things are wrong or destructive, look to laws. Look to history. And look to conscience, and a sense of right and wrong, if you possess these things.
As for 'will likely practice', numerous studies have shown that children with behavioral issues are FAR more likely to become criminals because they were never shown restraint, right and wrong, or given the necessary nurturing in youth to be part of society.
Defend your friends? Sure. Anyone would.
If there are muslims in town that support terrorism and the gov't found out about it, they WOULD be deported!!! What rock have you been under? And 'who are you' to predict these people won't take action? Nah, you never heard of 'sleeper cells' I guess.
You still can't make the connection that something 'offensive' IS something done wrong.
Fact: Saying 'Go die in the ovens Jew' is WRONG. (unless this is a parallel evil reality) You cannot dispute this and retain credibility.
Fact: If you're friend says something hurtful and offensive, you are WRONG to defend it. Loyalty to friends can sometimes be blinding.
'I'm referring to treating people with a basic amount of respect'. Uh, min, is 'Go die in the ovens Jew' treating people with a basic amount of respect? Keep in mind this post was aimed AT a Jew. You're still WRONG to defend SJ on this issue, any way you slice it.
I hate to see this end; its a great debate. But it takes up web space and changes the minds of no one. I'll still read your reply, min. You can have the last word. :D :D :D
uh, again acro, I was refering to what 'I' do not what others do... in reference to the basic amount of respect ....
Defending SJ is not a "right" or "wrong" issue, so I can't possibly be "wrong" to defend him .... and you have no right to suggest I am. Defending him is a matter of friendship, and admiration for the good things he's doing for this community. Which you seem to lack the ability to recognize ... or sorry ... the "wrong" things he's done outweight the good.
you don't really know SJ very well, he tends to say things to see the amusing response it gets, is it "wrong" to say it and watch people yell and scream about it while laughing your ass off? ... sure ... does this forum have any policies stating that sort of behavior is unacceptable? ... no ... what I first suggested in the first post I made is .... how do you kill a tree? ... you chop off its roots .... the reasons there is posts like this is becuase no policy that says saying racist remarks are bad and will be deleted, if there was ... we would kill the roots of this problem, and it would go away.
I will refrain from commenting on the rest of your post for the exact reasons you stated, noone's opinion will be changed anyways. Twas fun though, a good discussion makes the fingers warm.
Min
p.s. I'm very very rarely angry when I reply to posts, if I'm actually mad or angry about something, I tend to say nothing instead.
Like us going into Iraq. It was the right thing to do.
Whether it was right or wrong depends on who you ask, but the way to get us into Iraq was not.

Ya he did do a good job eh Nova? had Acro being all discriminatory to me because I'm white and Christian and Min sticking up for me cuz he's my friend and white also
What would be nice if people could quote whatever offended them, start their own thread and flame away. That way, people who want to read flames and join in flames can do that, and those who'd just want actual content (well, better content than any flamewar) can look at the flame-less posts.
I had another idea for WinBolo just the other day. This would make setting up games somewhat easier. Before the start, everyone would select a starting position from a list of choices. Then everyone would click on a “ready” button. There’d be a 5-second countdown on everyone’s screens and then a Go! sign. Just before the Go! the whole map would be reset to its original configuration which means that players could fool around on the map beforehand or, if it’s a new map, the players could drive around and get a feel for the map.
Perhaps for 1x1s you could choose for a starting position “random but separate starting locations.”

and someting that takes stats from a player and makes teams would be neat....but first wed need seomthing to link accounts.......
Hey everybody!
