$200 a month out of your personal pocket is quite a bit to fork over for no return. Completely understandable that you want to stop the bloodletting.

Maybe there's some other shared load paradigm's out there that could be copied to keep the game alive. The 3d tank game bzflag for example has a completely decentralized set up where interested users host their own servers with a central piece serving only to list the hosts and manage user accounts. You've already got some code dedicated to users running their own servers so it may doable without a monumental effort.

Anyway. It's been fun ride. Thanks Mikkel for the great game.

Between ob3d and ob2d I usually find fights almost every time. If one is quiet the other usually will have somebody.

New players coming into the game seems to be more common on 3D.

uhm...players, especially HOFers, with custom OB clients is not a good thing.

I've seen stuff like this tear apart other games. Players expect a level playing field in competitive games like this and, even if your changes were benign, it still creates unhealthy doubt and suspicion.

It's not good even if you mean well.

I don't know what the state of the software tools for preventing game client hacks are or if MD5 still has it's problems but something like an MD5 checksum might be worth investing some programming cycles in.

Is this the first post disparaging another player for the 3D version??

If so then 3D has arrived baby!

This should be moved to the OB history forum. Kind of like the first dollar a upstart business takes in.

Should get interesting when Mikkel gets rankings and title board up.

This thread is dumb.

For ob3d:

Most overrated: paxton5...bitch you know I"m better than you so don't even try to say otherwise. You talk shit all the time but never back it up.

Most underrated: me, I beat all y'alls asses consistently and nobody gives me props.

For ob2d:

Who cares...

I like that camera view you have in your sig. Will have to try that one.

uhh...not many people defending the lower ranks at the moment either as everyone fights in the tourny room all the time. (At least when I'm on)

The tourny room champ, now that's the real belt holder.

Cool pics. Thanks for sharing.

Now that's just crazy talk.

My name is sandy and I am a proud alt!

My kid plays OB too and likes to create names once in awhile which we'll use. I've been using Sandy for awhile now though.

Usually they are the names of spongebob characters.

I don't play OB enough to make a serious title run, my kid and I fight often where I'll intentionally lose (my kid is only seven), and I also lose quite a bit since I'm rusty all the time from not playing regularly so the spongebob alts work for me.

Most of you duck me anyway so now you have an "official" reason! JK

He'd need a central server to record fight results at the very least so twinkys like you can post their lame records on these forums for our amusement.

skillz you recently came out of retirement so im not sure if you count in top 10 of 08

Guess I need to slap you around some more....

I'd rate captain america up near the top. Very good skills, his style reminds me of Larry.

Me posting your lousy OB record is funnier than the word "beeewlllshiaaattt"?

Just checking...

The skills of the title defenders was pathetic. Zero defense, offensive punches missing wildly. Looked obvious to me that it was not a real title fight.

But if it's one guy consolidating his titles under one name then that's fine.

Kind of stupid and pointless to be creating a new account every week if you ask me but hey whatever blows your hair back.
