    i played on [OSS] once, what a crap server it was, it was horrible and laggy and the admins were useless. Find another server and play their regulary you'll get to the locals and become friends.
    BTW does anyone know whats happened to PC game zone server ?

    Scott's house is going to back up in about a week, it's the only decent server I have found to play in regularly that doesn't have some dumb res share mod.


    Plus I got an average of about 20 ping there <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    yea i did that, but it only caused more of a war and it seemed it was only me vs 9-10 people and anything i said was reversed by other people even if it wasnt funny the others would spam and laugh just to get on my nerves

    Try NOT caring about people's sexual orientation. If someone calls me "****" online then I don't care. Who cares whether you fancy men or women? I would have carried on playing my game - I suggest you do too.

    <u><b>EDIT:</b></u> Wow - censoring the "g" word too... Nice. What if someone wants to "come out" to his NS buddies and hates the "h" word? Or has that fallen prey to censorship too? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Actaully, if people call me a homo on servers, i start making passes at them and talking in a sexy voice. I tell ya, i've never seen lamers run so fast. try that: it works.

    If people start flaming you,just bust out some of the most random stuff you can think of ex:

    Flamer: J00 f4g0rt newb!
    You: Says the man with the monkey hanging from his face.
    Flamer: What are you talking about?! SUYF!
    You:Gadzooks! And SUYF monster!
    Flamer: What are you some kind of retard?
    You: No, YOU'RE pillowcase!

    Keep this up for 5 minutes, and eventually he will shut up, or figure out that you are messing with him and start doing the same. Either way it's much more fun.

    Why don't you just mute them?

    Seems like a big waste of time to blather on about something so idiotic while you're trying to have fun <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I always find if funny how people somehow mangae to "determine" ones sexual preference by playing a PC game.

    I pretty much go into a server, say Hi to everyone then talk only about game stuff to my team unless I see someone I know and say "Hi!" with the added "How are you?"

    Other then that the only thing I might say back to someone who is yelling his brains out at someone is (In polite voice)to "calm down b/c all the screaming and insults in the world wont make the situation better/ help us win/ make the commander better/ makt team shoot more accurate/ etc bla bla bla.

    That usualy shuts them up and the game continues.

    Bind a key to toggleeditps

    Press TAB, press key, click name. Sometimes you have to click the name twice.

    If I recall, muting will be properly assigned in v2.0
