Title: .:RK:. Random Keywhacking
Post by: Genki on November 23, 2008, 06:32:53 am
Nick In-Game : .:RK:.Germ or .:RK:.Worm
Website: http://www.randomkeywhacking.com
Mumble Address: randomkeywhacking.com Port: 64738 (default)
Timezone: MST (I'm on Arizona time so we don't observe DST)
Usual Server: KoR servers
Clan Name: Random Keywhacking
Clan Tag: .:RK:.

This clan will mainly be a clan for those who play on "noob" servers.
For this I need people who are skilled, but friendly, helpful, active, and trustworthy.

I founded this clan with wireddd, both of us formally KoR admins, but due to the amount of uncontrollable abuse we've decided to start fresh with a harsher set of rules and less members.

Good luck worm :)

Maybe I'll come visit if its possible to use mara on your new servers.

I hope dretches don't fly around in the new server and hits actually do count  :D .

Always happy to see a new tremulous server  :) .

As long as it has default (or close to default) settings, and is unlagged, I'll play there :)

There will be an unlagged server with all of the normal settings :D

The main server though (.:Random Keywacking:.) will have Jacked up speed and gravity.

Why? Can you give me a good reason?

Because none of them can use mara anyway?

Lol, you know what i've noticed? That .:RK:. is basically "stealing" lots of KoR members. Like 5 people have quit KoR for .:RK:..

We've just purchase a new and better server that is being set up and will be ready soon. It will have teamspeak or mumble with at least 2-3 tremulous servers and an IRC channel. It will all be ready shortly.

We scirmed you today, everyone was very polite and fun to be around. Best of luck to your clan :)

Thank you. It was kind of hard for us to scrim in a server with normal speed and gravity. I'm sure you probably still would have won with our speed and gravity. Very good clan you have there. We'll try to work on getting better at unlagged with normal gravity and speed :)
Title: Re: .:RK:. Random Keywhacking
Post by: Archangel on November 30, 2008, 02:10:19 am
Why do you use fucked up speed and gravity settings anyway?
Title: Re: .:RK:. Random Keywhacking
Post by: Genki on November 30, 2008, 04:34:39 am
I used to play BeerGarden with regular settings, and wireddd used to be in s11 (not sure of the settings he played then, but he's played for a year longer than I), however when we both joined FA they had the higher speed/gravity so we got used to that and haven't really had the chance to readjust. That is why now we'll have a regular speed/gravity server with unlagged so we can readjust and hopefully scrim more.

Also: when we left FA a few of them followed us looking for a better place to play that was like the FA server so that was the type of servers we chose to put up. We had an unlagged one for awhile, but it had the faster speed/gravity (wasn't supposed to) so we eventually scraped it.

And then with the forming of RK the Trem-x mod works best with a different speed/gravity mostly because if you got slow pulsed once you were dead. :] But yeah we're slowly implementing more and more regular servers, hopefully they don't end up like a bunch of the empty servers.

Ryan: And yes it was a fun scrim :] Although as I admitted to Metal I felt like a VERY fat rant :]

Well I'm not sure if the higher speed settings more skill or something becauase when I tried them before my leave of abscense a few months ago I sucked on them :P

I don't think it is more or less skill really.  It just comes down to what you're used to.  Though I do feel that the high speed a lot of time is luck, because you're bouncing so high and turning so fast, its almost impossible for the human reflexes to match it when you come flying off a ledge into a pit of human heads.

I'm used to regular speed but I actually find it easier to play on both teams with higher speeds, since I can dodge faster, although I'm not sure how I come out with aiming being easier. Lots of variables to throw in there though, but it's probably just one of a lot of things where everyone's got their different feel with it.

Server settings aside, I am going to be doing all my development work that I was doing at KoR at RK now.  So the RK tremx server will get all the updates, KoR's probably not.
I built a new map repository for RK, most of the website isn't up yet, but it is. I wouldn't mention it if I didn't think it was fairly novel what with all the level shots and such. http://maps.randomkeywhacking.com/ (http://maps.randomkeywhacking.com/)

Nice repo!  But I don't think you need a data.pk3. :P

Why is the map "funzone" named as "ATCS"?

Best of luck guys, hopefully this one will carry a better reputation than KoR

Yeah dodging is easier at a higher speed and aiming is harder. (in my opinion) But I feel that at a normal speed/grav a human's bullets aren't any slower so humans have more of an advantage.

Why is the map "funzone" named as "ATCS"?
because inside the pk3 there is a file called 'funzone_b1.arena' it contains the following:
Code: [Select]
{
  map       "atcs"
  longname  "A.T.C.S."
  type      "tremulous"
}
so I guess whoever made that map just copied the file from atcs and renamed it.

Our unlagged server is now up ;)

.:RK:. Unlagged

Yeah I tried out your unlagged server for a few hours today it was a lot of fun. I'll be checking it out in the future too :D
Title: Re: .:RK:. Random Keywhacking
Post by: Genki on December 06, 2008, 03:01:21 am
Yeah it was fun, you're too good though, stop aimbotting! ;)

I played today, but I suck.  I got mad and quit after ESD.  The server is so perfect, normal settings, rotation, and then bamn esd and I cried inside a little :(
Title: Re: .:RK:. Random Keywhacking
Post by: Metal on December 06, 2008, 03:39:05 pm
Lol. We all hate esd xD

I like the fact that we got an unlagged server. In the near future maybe we can be able to compete with some clans in a normal server during a scrim.
Title: Re: .:RK:. Random Keywhacking
Post by: Genki on December 10, 2008, 05:53:20 pm
Yeah I'm think move SD to 20, and just eliminate ESD, for the normal server anyways. I see a lot of sitting around until SD hits.

That's the one server that I really like about .:RK:. - Unlagged.  I played a few days ago and it was really fun.   :D

However, the only thing that I find odd is that there aren't a lot of newcomers... most of the people who visit Unlagged are the people I've known for a while.  So fun, but not as good of an experience as I would have like.  Maybe spread the word more?

Heck, maybe I should just be a walking advertisement.
Title: Re: .:RK:. Random Keywhacking
Post by: Genki on December 13, 2008, 09:33:16 pm
No way to really spread the word. Seeing as we can't say anything about it on our old servers.
Title: Re: .:RK:. Random Keywhacking
Post by: MiniWheatz on December 16, 2008, 12:55:02 am
That reply was completely uncalled for, and you know it.  Don't bring it up here.   :-\

I never said to advertise on those servers, or any servers at all.  Actually, I'm sure that this site has been getting you lots of traffic, so it's all good!

Tremulous really needs a server like .:RK:. Unlagged, not because there aren't an abundance of servers like it, but because the community is so much better than many of the current popular servers.

I obviously wasn't trying to insult you or the server.   :)

Post by: Genki on December 17, 2008, 01:49:27 am
O.o I was just saying, the type of people we'd attract for trem-x we can't say anything to them about it because even if they ask us a question we can get banned for advertising. It's one of the rules, and wasn't meant to be spiteful.

So stop reading into it.
