The philosophy behind the No Micspamming rule is that it is easier for the micspammer to not micspam than it is for someone to mute them, and if it's multiple people who have to do so, then it's multiple people's inconvenience compared to one person's wish to micspam, and for a server environment that's designed to be cordial and respectful to others, micspamming is the opposite, especially if someone wants to listen to their own music (i.e. the radio stations or their own playlists). From what I've gathered, multiple people would put atma on mute, and a good deal were happy with the banning and life went on. Even when I was on a few times before break, those Hakuna Matatas and other micspam bits were getting fairly annoying, and that type of crap would've normally gotten a swift server mute/ban from me. Edit: Permanent bans are fixed in the server.cfg, but anyone using tempbans should keep in mind that they are lost whenever there is a server restart.

To everyone on the server: Again, I expect there to be a no tolerance policy on micspamming - I don't want to hear of anyone ever doing it, and it is worthy of a swift server-side mute, and then a ban if the person continues to complain after being made aware of the rule. Atma has been claiming Brushfire has been doing it (not sure if this is true, or unprovoked by his own micspamming, as I cannot trust his words due to previous vile lies, but if so, I don't want to hear of it happening again), but I don't know why he thinks it's validation that it should be done. The rule has always been no micspamming, and it stays that way. The only way I accept an unban in this situation is if the person promises to dutifully obeys the rules of the server in earnest. Atma refused to do so, so this particular ban stays.

Yeah, you can download the instruction manual straight from steampowered.com . Also, I managed to spend ~$150 on this sale...it was too good!

For some reason I thought today was Friday. I guess no pw for today.

OCR has always been the way it is, yet it still maintains a large audience...I doubt djp is going to change it, especially since it's counter to the mission of the site.

I think it's a sign that...you should get the PC version

So there's a ton of nice stuff on sale on Steam atm - here are some examples: Left 4 Dead - 25% off Left 4 Dead 4 pack - 10% off Spore - 25% off CoD 4 - 25% off Civilization 4 pack (Civ 4 with expansions) - 50% off ($25) BioShock - 75% off ($5) (Note: The activation crap for SecuROM is gone) id Super pack - $35 Audiosurf - 50% off 25-50% off all THQ titles Valve Complete Pack - 25% off Bejeweled - $1 Half-Life: Blue Shift - $1 Doom II - $1 As for myself, I nabbed the Civ 4 pack, id Super pack, Bioshock, and Beyond Good and Evil for $72-73...and probably am going to purchase a few other things.

Alright done.

Do you think it should be bumped up?

So I just added this plugin to the server: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=77232 I'll add the deathchat thingy shortly.

What a coincidence, I was just thinking of whether I should buy a new Blackberry in the next few days...it would be nice to have something like that though.

Oh right, I need to purchase another pair of swimming trunks.

I got a $10 gift card to Borders and some chocolate at a Christmas party a week ago, and some chocolate from a student of mine a little before that. I also got a white elephant gift of a clock with a pair of dice detailing each hour, but I traded that for a 1000 piece puzzle for my mom...which I forgot to bring back with me from Champaign-Urbana.

Merry Christmas from Baltimore!

First gen iPod Touch.

Hmm, I have to pay $10 just for the firmware to buy this game...

So Atma linked me to this: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=74130&page=5 Do you all think this would be a good addition? We have alltalk on all the time now, so it may not, but it is a nifty plugin.

Congrats Chadly!

That just about sums it up.

...it does say minimeetup, does it not?

Bumping up...there has gotta be more interest than just us and atma!

So I started up the Star Ocean remake yesterday...and is it just me, or is it slow as fuck?

Sounds like a very poor argument for getting on Nintendo's case - if they want to retain their copyright, they have to defend it. This is exactly why (unfortunately) Chrono Resurrection got shut down. This is a weak cause.

It didn't start out so great in Japan either I thought?

I liked SMB 3 more than those
