Ok, now that the chaos is over, I can announce the new features we've added to all three Tempest servers. Admin List: Type "!admin" or "/admin" to have the online and currently playing admins listed for you (in case you need to discuss something with one of them). Sentry Spawn on Death: Removed. Class Restrictions: All classes are limited to 3 per team. Show Rules: Upon joining the server, the rules will be listed for you to view. You must accept them or you will be kicked. Ping Kicker: Set to 250. Spray Tracer: Pornographic spray ban will now be enforced. Do not post pornographic sprays. Donation benefits: Those who donate monthly for reserved slots are now immune to both ping kicking and class limitations (meaning if there are already 3 soldiers, you can still play soldier, etc). All who donated last month at $20 or above have received their admin abilities. These abilities include being able to chat as an admin (sm_say), being able to kick abusive players (sm_kick *playername*) and are also able to initiate votes on a whim. They can also view the admin forum and participate in admin discussions. Please note: Those found to be abusing their new found abilities and not following the admin code of conduct will have their abilities removed. Your donation does not make you above our guiding principals. I'm still working on some additional donation benefits, but this should make you happy for now. Frag away.

Makes me happy. Fix up that sentry mod, and it could be really fun. :D If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. - Carl Sagan My Backpack

Either I am an idiot and can't find the admin forum, or I didn't get added to the list. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Is the rules window really that necessary? For the most part, the people on the Tempest servers are pretty good and I've seen a lot of people get kicked in the last two days for not agreeing to the rules. Quite a few of them join again moments later and say stuff along the lines of "I didn't see any rules come up." The rules aren't exactly rocket science, more common sense. If people get out of hand, the server admins warn them and then kick/ban/silence as necessary.

WDF, are the class limitations actually up? You said 3 per class, but I was seeing up to 5 pyros on our team, and 4 snipers on another team. That was yesterday though. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. - Carl Sagan My Backpack

Basically there was a 25% chance that when you die a lvl 1 sentry would spawn... It was chaos... [13:58] TheSpaniard84: I have a kitty stuck to my rump [13:58] WhuTdufK: I suppose that's better than what's normally stuck to your rump.

Yeah, because it ended up being a 100% chance of spawning a sentry. Just picture...each engineer could build and upgrade up to 6 sentries at a time. ...actually, Fat Pigeon did it once. Suicided over and over to spawn sentries, upgraded them all to level 3. I sapped them all while he was typing. :D If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. - Carl Sagan My Backpack

The only problem I've had is that I once ignored the text message about the rules agreement and got kicked. I notice that happening to other people too. I got the hang of it though. I often ignore text that comes up now that I use a mic. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like ... victory"

I had so many buildings up, I could run across the tops of then for a second in each direction. After Muff rudely sapped everything I created, I moved over to Tempest 2 and built a ladder out of a dispenser and 1 sentry, and then jumped and suicided and then upgraded them to level 3 beyond the reach of anyone but a scout much to the dismay of the enemy spy who kept rushing in and trying to sap it to no effect.. Not that I abused the hilarious mod for the 30 minutes it was active or anything...

Do the rules only come up once per person until you agree to them? If so, I think I change my original opinion of them. I thought this was some sort of evil trap used to kick the unwary player, but if they only come up once, that's not bad.
