Actually we have Bz1.4 here too, goto the download section, you have 4 servers available to play on.

Go with BZE to start with snowcone.

because we usually are in the lobby of BZE when we suddenly go. "KEN's got a new build, let's go!"

or at least that's how it works sometimes. :)

Very true, although usually there is no one on it. Best to make arrangements before hand.... Like scrappy says, go to the bze lobby. Even if you never wanna play it, you may find someone that'll wander over to 1.4 as well.

Also: i see you made the "team." :lol:

No kidding. we're so proud of you snowcone. :)

Yeah in real life I wouldn't have a problem with anyone on either forums, ever, except maybe for Spock. Anyone who goes as long as he has harassing people on a game they love must have a few screws loose upstairs for sure.

Spock can say what we say are lies all he wants. But you have to look at the bare facts: He harasses people not for fun, but to be malicious, because he is a d**k. There are no mind games, and this isn't one of those movies where the good guy turns out to be the bad guy and the bad guy turns out to be the good guy. He's just a hateful person, end of story.

Also if your program is anything like mine was, you should try to get your GPA as high as it can go in your years as an underclassmen, because after that it all becomes about not letting it drop too far lol. At my school, no one's GPA goes up after their sophomore year, cause the s**t gets hard. Just some friendly advice, don't procrastinate too much lol.

Core classes suck a** also.

EDIT: lol that's another thing. With Spock you're on one team or the other. Only a sith deals an absolute. ROFL

^^ that statement probably made macewindu horny

I knew it wouldn't take long for him to put that up, that cat really needs to learn how to relax. I have a theory: If everyone spent a week in Thailand, wars would end :lol: Maybe BFT has been there as well since I see he's also military.

I know Spock reads these forums, the BZ lobby, and BZ1 forums constantly-- and that he'd yank my IP by 3PM.

:arrow: Team Dummy = The ones who don't take crap from Spock. I don't care for the drama stuff, but this is how I'm relating Team Dummy to BZ1.org =)



lol @ scrap's Rugby comment...sometimes "teamwork" results unfavorable results (Spock).


I did openly tell Spock he had a people problem, which is what sparked my censorship on the forums. Truth hurts I suppose, but I guess not everyone takes BZ as seriously as him?


@ Xtreme I do have mostly A's in my classes...except Physical Science; that professor just blew monkey balls with his tests. One of my "Junior" classes I'm taking now is so simple, it makes me feel like a bloody genius (Digital Multimedia). I hope the rest of my classes are like it, but from what I heard they're really like dragging a broken leg through hell :lol: Enjoying procrastination while I can!

Yeah that's true too, can't forget to have fun or else you'll go insane. lol, can't get higher grades than A's.

Physical Science = Physics? If so, f*** that class, seriously. As engineers we have to take 2 semesters of Physics. The first Physics I took my prof. was amazing and I got an A.

The second semester, Physics was worth 4 credit hours instead of 3 since we had a lab that was twice as long + a recitation, so any grade in that class would be weighted more. The professor was heavily asian and couldn't speak english to save his life, didn't really care to, was mean and never REALLY helped students with their questions, his tests were unfair, and that didn't help at all since the material was ridiculously difficult.

lol studied for 40 hours a week for that f*** class for a test and I'd get like, 50's? 60's? Class avg. was like 40's - 60's. He curved us at the end and I got a C----------- (which was barely enough to pass) But yeah, ruined my GPA.

/rant, sorry for that, but in short, don't sweat that class lol

I love how Spock can make his own forum ranks at will :roll: On some forums, there are "member respect meters" where members rate a person on the board. To me, that over rides any "forum rank" that one person decides which best suites you.



@Xtreme- Yes, it was pretty much a Physics class...the professor treated it as such and the study material was nothing like the tests. I got a B in it, that was good enough for me because I got tired of his lectures that required you to interpret his Physics-terminology to Laymen-Terms-terminology.



Which server is the 1.5 server? I guess I'll give BzE another try...but only because I can make fun of the admin here :mrgreen:

Edit- Don't worry Xtreme, BZ always comes last and schoolwork/real life comes first...as that is what pays the bills. This is one thing Spock could not comprehend for some reason.

Any of the 4 servers have 1.4 and 1.5, only 911 servers have BzE at some point they will come together on 1 session.

Reason: he doesn't have a life or a girlfriend, or anything else to do outside of BZ, so he assumes that applies to everyone else.

Of all the times I accused him of having no life or girlfriend, have you ever seen him deny it?

You do have a point.

I normally give people the fair benefit of the doubt as I have no idea who is on the other side of the computer screen. But, Spock is always monitoring BZ, always trying to take claim for assisting peoples problems, scolding people for suggesting 1.5 changes/fixes and is always on a high horse. He even ticked off Ken :lol:


After awhile, the forums had a political movement of some sort to bring BZ back, I didn't like that as games are meant for fun. Some guys like BattleDroid, Spork and Guren (I know, some of you hate them but I had no problems with them) reminded me that it wasn't the case with them over Team Speak, although Spock never made an appearance on Team Speak for reasons...unknown :wink:


Anyways...good thing everyone here is of drinking age-- I normally play BZ while drinking :mrgreen:

lmao.. This was me a few weekends ago, with jager. Hopefully everyone's forgot about that.

Yeah Spock gets people to put in their name and info on his registration page, but does he ever tell you guys his name, etc.? No, cause he's a coward and he wants to keep getting away with harassing people at no consequence.

Image

Anyway yeah, everyone knows the guy has problems, it's an open and shut case. He just loves to hate people.

Don't be fooled by his server numbers--you're not missing anything. There are just as many games on BZE as there are 1.4, we just have less copies.

He also never denied hacking when i called him on it in his forum. Spork ran to his rescue tho, demanding some kind of video proof....yeah, because my pc was capable of taking video capture of bz games in 2003 without making it completely unplayable. :roll:

That, above all else, will help unify the community again. nothing spock could do about that.
Sno wrote:(I know, some of you hate them but I had no problems with them)
Hate is such a strong word. I don't think we have much hate for anyone over there. Intolerance maybe, but not hate. :mrgreen:
Typically we just write them off as brainwashed.

I remember BFT was just like, "drink a s**t of water before you pass out or youll have a wicked painful hangover from all the sugar jager has."

So I did cause I had to wake up at 7:00, then I stayed up for hours anyway cause I kept having to take a piss. :lol:

Oh yeah, I wont be on BZ for another couple weeks but you'll see me when I'm on. Since you're the bz/drinking combo type...

DM challenge to 15. Every time you die you take a shot. First one to 15 or last one still able to move their tank wins.

And yes, it will be a slow dance.
