As there seems to be a greater intrest in the telefragging way of killing your friends at the moment is it somthing for you server admins to have a think about?
could there be a chance of setting up a server with just the teleporter as a weapon even if its for a couple of days a week
it would certanly get me on there.
careful thought would have to go into map selection
because you wouldnt wan to be running round huge maps looking for people all the time.

just a thought any others interested?
:?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :wink:

I actually did that once with HOH and it didn't seem to take to well is what I recall. If enough people say they want it, it wouldn't take anything at all to convert HOH again. Myself, I think it gets old after one round. It is a great way to find new spots though.

I would be interested in playing a couple games on it. Maybe some small 1on1 maps.

Herm's right. The novelty wore off fast.

The games were strangely quiet. Especially on maps like Morbias, that are usually noisier than rock concerts. :lol:

You know you can count me in but have to agree as much as i like it on a few maps, it does get old quick if it was every map but then there is more then one server so we could hop in and out.

Instead of having a dedicated transloc server, you could just do what Pimp and Jarg and others have done -- which is to use the translocs exclusively during a redeemer game. You sneak around and pick off people one by one.

Yea mahatma we do but i think the one means To dedicate or part time one server so that when you are in the middle of a teleport battle someone doesn't redeem ur a** and spoil it i for one think its part of the battle having to dodge them but it does get annoying at times also

LOL, Mah. DM and myself have had some KILLER tranny duals in the past. If the map is big, we go looking for each other. You know what, it never fails. When someone else sees us duking it out with trannys, they find us and join in.

IMHO, The reason that it got old fast is because of a few minor things.
1. 30 is WAY too high of a frag limit. It took forever to win a game, and because most of us like our action fast and constant, Reducing the frag limit from 30 to 10 or even better, 7 would help that. This would give the games the urgency that they need. 30 is great for redemers because you can get a monster kill and be up by 5 frags in 5 seconds flat.
2. Map size. I agree that the smaller maps are more suited to the tranny, but a bigger map can be fun to stalk your prey. Perhaps if you start out with the 1 on 1 maps and the Morbias, Fractal, Pyramid type maps, it may catch on.

You know that redeemers do not appeal to the majority of UT players out there. Most noobies come in to the game and say it is "gay" or some such nonsense. Given time, a tranny server may become just as popular as a redeemer server. It may never appeal to the masses, but it may be great fun to a select few. I wished I had the bandwidth to try it. :(
The thing I like most about telefragging is that it can be like a chess match. I know DarkMatter will agree with me here, We try to fool each other into making mistakes so that we can catch the other off guard. This is great fun to me, but gets ruined when a redeemer comes into the picture. Herm, If you are willing to try out another transloc server, I would love to play test it to get the frag limits and maps down to the best that they can be.

Well...

Working on a telefrag-style arena as we speak...with a few twists...definitely Matrix Moves, perhaps low-grav...had been considering an all-Matrix style arena with dual pistols, teleporters and the like. Or an arena that switches periodically from strictly MM and teleporters, to Akimbo pistols, MM and telefragging. Perhaps throw some monsters into the fray. We'll see. May even have a version up later today...just have to test how well the various mutes play together. I'm up for it...mainly for the challenge of trying out various kinds of arenas...always a learning experience setting up custom servers. I won't have time to test which maps are most suitable for this style of play, so you'll either get all the NWRO maps for now, or the ones I was running for sniper. Guess we'll see if this kind of arena will fly...as long as there are other cool aspects to the game, it just might...will keep ya posted...
