Startflag and finishflag would be pretty much perfect, wouldn´t it? Then you have ready and timing, all in one. How could it get better?

What is the smiley hinting at?

I think matricks suggestion would be an improvement.

Though showing both kills and deaths would be more informative. Who cares about some abstract score, with just the plain facts people can judge them how they like .

Change is not always bad, but this one would be. A single weapon with recoil doesn´t neccessarely need too be bad though, if it makes sence with how it is used.

Indeed. Would be very nice too see that, even if I wouldn´t understand a thing of what´s said .

First you need an account on esl, can be made on the page linked too in this threads first page. Pretty straightforfard. Filling in some info, activating by email, the usual.

Then you need too actually join a teewarsleague (esl has leagues for a lot of games, so it won´t automatically understand that your´e there too play teewars). The dm ladder, which is the only one I know something about, demands that you have filled in a way too contact you in your profile, that has too be either icq or irc, so without that you won´t be able too join. When logged in, you can access your profile, your challenges as well as personal messages in the top right corner of the page.

The ladder is basicly a rankinglist. By playing a match against someone your ranking will change according too some mathematical formula taking both how big the win and how strong you and your opponent are into account. So beating high ranked players give you more than beating low ranked ones basicly, and when you loose you loose as much points as your opponent gains.

A match begins with a challenge on the esl page, which has too be accepted too be valid. Though if you challenge someone "close" above you on the list he/she has too accept or he/she gets penalty points, not sure how those actually work. A match is played in 2 rounds of 10 minutes, and you report the score too esl along withy a screenshot of the score as proof. And that´s about it.

Finding a good server too play a match on is troublesome though, I havn´t quite solved it myself. You need rcon control of it too make sure a round is exactly 10 minutes, and having it on one of the contestants computer gets very unfair ping-wise. I´m hoping that someone sponsors with some official servers real soon.

I´m not sure there should be poison in the game, but if included, I have an idea of how it could be quite neatly integrated in the current health-system.

-Poison damage could be shown with green little puffs in the same way stars show normal damage.

-Instead of removing hearts, poison would turn them green and sick-looking, starting with the heart furthest too the right. Green hearts would then dissappear over time one at a time, always at the same pace. Regular damage would remove green hearts first, so poison would be useless if you could kill your opponent anyway.

-Since I don´t see how shields turning green would make sence, the intuitive sulotion is probably too let poison ignore armor.

-Picking up hearts (life) could turn green hearts into healthy hearts before adding new ones (starting from the left). That way a single heart would save you from poison death, while at the same time poison could be used too prevent your opponent from healing.

Ever since 0.3.0, I´ve experienced something lag-like every time I attack with the ninja sword. The movement seems sort of uneven and I get completely disorientated. It´s like that both on my home computer and that at my parents house, both use Windows.

In really intense battles, you can save the bullets too realease at just the time you really need them. Like when the almost dead opponent is running away, or when your shotgun runs out of ammo. The pistol becomes a sort of complemetary weapon too the bigger guns, and doesn´t need reloading so much if you only use it when it´s undoubtably the best choice.

Maybe some way of more actively reloading it would be nice though. Like reloading faster if you stand completely still, isn´t shooting and isn´t hit by anything for example, so that you can take some temporal cover and reload in ammo-shortage situations. If som kind of animation and/or sound made it clear that you go into fast reloading mode I think such a system could be quite intuitive.

Yea, there should be some official ladder servers.

I don´t think I would like that. Moving the cursor close too the opponent is useful sometimes, and in those instances a limit would be annoying.

I would like that too, the fast pace makes the hook hard too master in the beginning and it still complicates things sometimes. It is, however, very important that youre still able too dodge bullets by quickly hooking a nearby wall. Maybe a quick surge at the time it hits a wall and then a slightly decreased pull?

Might spoil the elegance of simplicity, 2 more buttons is a high price for just a little more fun in my opinion. Don´t disregard it just cause I said so though, if the dev team sees a way too do this I trust them.

Yea, that would be awesome . Tricky with the controls though.

dm1 works very well for 1on1 I think. Doesn´t work all that well for larger numbers, then it´s total chaos, but for 1on1 it´s real nice.

I think it´s meant too be hard too keep track of ammo. The click sound is there too be heard . A true gunman keeps track of it in his head (not saying that I´m a true gunman).
