Re: [Audyssey] swamp off center and blue language

2011-12-15 Thread Christopher Bartlett
I have noticed that the aim point seems to change from time to time, and
have likewise attributed it to ear balance, except that it also seems to
change from weapon to weapon from what I call medium range out.  (medium =
about longest range for the shotgun weapons.)

Subject: [Audyssey] swamp off center and blue language

   hey gang,
   At what number of kills do you officially have a swamp problem? 
3000, 5000?
   I have a really small issue that is almost certainly just me, but was 
wondering if maybe anyone else was experiencing it.
   If I fire at what i perceive to be dead center, I miss a lot, if I 
fire slightly to the right of what i think is center, i have much better 
success.
so probably what we've got here is a slight imbalance between my 
ears sensitivity wise, but wanted to throw that out there to see if 
maybe others had noticed it.
   and when i say slightly, i mean very slightly, like just a couple 
degrees.
   one last thing here as well, some of you guys are really going 
overboard with the profanity on the default radio channel.
   anyone that knows me personally knows i am not adverse to cussing to 
say the least, but my concern here is that newer players will be tuned 
off by the language, and mis out on a great experience due to a few 
folks that feel the need to throw an f bomb into every sentence.
without assigning moderators or putting in word filtering in code, 
the only solution i see is to assign the default channel as PG rated or 
whatever, with other channels maybe being unrated for the profane 
amongst us.
   if Aprone wanted to get creative with this issue, he could deduct a 
rep point for using carlin's 7 words, along with a spoken warning or 
something, but this is more coding on top of his already massive to do list.
   ideally, the community would self regulate if aprone felt it was a 
problem and let everyone know the default channel isn't for language to 
make your grandma stroke out.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp off center and blue language

2011-12-15 Thread Jeremy Kaldobsky
Che I totally agree.  As most people know, I rarely have time to actually play 
Swamp so I tend to miss out on certain perspectives of the game.  After reading 
this email I went to the server, skimmed through the chat log, and for the 
first time am seeing just how profane some of the chat is.  I hadn't considered 
this, and I suppose it was naive of me to expect everyone to just automatically 
take the high road and keep the language appropriate for the many age groups 
that are likely playing.  I think I'll add in some rules for the next version, 
so that the main channels will remain PG in nature.  I also worry that the 
strong language will immediately turn some people off to the game.

To avoid being naive once again, should I expect some people to ignore the 
rules and just continue swearing in those channels?  If so, then I'll need to 
program in some admin commands and grant those powers to a few individuals that 
would be willing to police the chat channels for foul language or mature 
content.  If people are more likely to just follow the rules I set, then I 
won't bother with this extra work.

agreed on both counts there che!! especially when using the snipper rifle, 
the off center aiming success becomes more noticeable

Re: [Audyssey] swamp off center and blue language

2011-12-14 Thread Dakotah Rickard
I do drop the occasional profane explosion on that channel. It's a
part of my roleplay with a particular character, and I'll try not to
let it get too bad, although usually I avoid F-bombs and always avoid
GD-nukes. Still, I'll try to limit that particular character's
explitive explosives.

As for the off-center thing, I have to readjust occasionally, which is
a pain with a long-range character, because the aiming will shift, but
usually mine shifts so that I have to aim a little left of center. I
don't know what would cause it, but I usually just try to make it ok.
