21.11/TC-test duels & Sitepowerup


TC-test duels


today evening Cyber and Wor w Z got finally the chance to show what they can. As both wished for longtime to have a test duel we met at one of our duel places and took the opportunity to see what they can.
Cyber was teached in the last month by Vampire, and improved a lot.

duels
Cyber - Wor : 1
Cyber - Wor : 1
Cyber - Julio TC : 2 (that was to see how Cyber fights vs a wmage in duel.
Kruse - Wor : 1
Kruse - Wor : 2
Poisoner - Wor : 1 (Poisoner is BFG's new assassin wmage.. buit still in training)

as some may remember Cyber was once in TC. He will get his test week, as he improved a lot :) welcome !

TG
Calm died against some CWO visiting our reds in t2a. He had rubberband bug, but thats uo, and hes on the way back already.
String is also still in training, which takes a little longer as he is also changing fighting style from wwmage to tmage
Aphrodite is trained by Gauron for Bal and is also on the way back.

GM/TC

We got the following Pic sent in. Please take it as the joke as it is.




Sitepowerup
As you may have noticed Sitepowerup is our -free- Boardprovider. As some complained, and as also noticed there is a spell-checker that cant be turned off. Now there is not the point to use offensive language, but having a spell-checker decide whether or not a message is worthy is somewhat low.

No, there is no way to disable it. It is to prevent people from stumbling across your board and be swarmed
with four-letter words.

prevent ?
by Woodstock-TC View Profile posted 11/21/99 10:03:39 PM

the 2 or were it 5 min spam timer is a good preventation against swarming or spamming.

if i would not care for the forums i would not write here.
as i care for them, i am sure it doesnt belongs in the hand of a spell-checker.

as already mentioned he can easily write $hit or A$$holes or whatever. what does it changes. are we less
hurt. not hurt etc.
of course you can improve than the glorious spell checker.. than they will begin to write then
tih$ tih$ neht yeht lliw nigeb ot etirw neth

i would like to introduce you to hawards book
"the study of language"
if you think thats only benefit from that.

as the TC, Team Cow forums are the forums of an agressive PvP (Player vs Player) guild on Drachenfels there
is sometimes more sometimes less also emotional discussion.
if you think that these discussion doesnt belongs on Sitepowerup, and these sites are to be political correct
in not defined way, or thought-to be defined way, we can change without problem.

17.11/GM SOL interferes ingame

Subject: GM SOL interfering in game against red's.

Hail.
 
I, or better said my sister (char) Woodstock, is Guildmistress of Team Cow on Drachenfels. As we are one of the leading Chaos PvP Guilds we also have a red stone called Team Goat.
Im part in Team Goat with my brother (character) String.
Normally we fight and kill people everywhere in the oldlands and newlands but as we had a netmeeting and it was very nice to organize the people at banks and the people on the island we decided to set up a trap.
The red characters were with a boat on an island, while some innocent looking characters were at banks promising house loots etc and opening gates.
The gates were dispelled, and the people was killed by our murderers.
In no way we ever thought or think, or can or could understand in which way what we do is not part of uo society. of the normal ongoing vr world.
 
From one moment to the other GM SOL (Drachenfels) appeared and began to harass our murderers. He began to block the isle with hay and when they asked what they made wrong, he told them "you have like IQ 5 smart boy?", in german though. as on the picture you will find exactly in his log what he was saying. i send as attaches 2 shots that were made there.
He didnt let us dock the ship back, and said if we argue (ask whats wrong) with him he will take our reagents away.
 
so he threatened them to get much problems if they continued.
he siad them to have 5 IQ. (we really dont play this game to prove iq. we play it with the rules beeing a red as red chars, that are not that easy. we dont feel in any way beeing wrong. most of us are veteran players, and we know this gate in thing since uo started. its part of the game. in past days sometimes a gm appeared and asked friendly if we can gate them also back, so they are not trapped on an island.
that would be of course no problem.
he even moved them in the water after..
i dont understand. why is he interfering like a excuse me "jerk" in the game.
thats not diplomatic, thats not smart.. what does he thinks he deals with ?
i personally am programmer for ABB in real life. one of the other pk's is in the army, the other studies music. is that the people he espects ? i play multiple roles with each of my characters. i cant say that all in my guild does that. but when im murderer im murderer. if thats not wanted by osi, it could have been easily took away like designer dragon stated in earlyer days in dev board.
i never saw in dev board or somewhere else any topic about that we could have been wrong. and to get an answer like "big brother is talking to you" .. 5 iq man ..
we are part of the customers as reds that should also get support. if we do something wrong we should can espect support in getting a nice response a diplomatic actione etc.
i dont pay or any other does paying their accounts for 2 years now to be threaten harsh like that.
 
greetings,
D-M.F., ABB Utility-Automation

12-15.11/TC Net Meet Hannover and TC everywhere



Weeeeeeee

Meet (rl part)
Friday slowly one after the other the TC's arrived.. First Woodstock which managed to need 5 hours for 250km from Essen to Hannover (the route is really cool. They work nearly on the entire Highway).
After installing the first Computers, Wood and Gauron went to Mc Donalds to ensure their survival. After changing many experiences about the army (He was on a Mines-searching ship) they burned some CD's. Fredo who came with the train was picked up by gauron at Hannover HBF, so only Krid and our Swedish friends were still missing. Krid arrived soon after (he only needs 2h with the car from essen to han. i think he had more luck at that time with the traffic. So we began to install more computers.
Gauron had 2 computers ready, Wood brought her computer and 2 monitors, 1 for natan, while krid took his hardware and a chair. Fredo should have used the Comp of Gauron brother.. While installing we got a tel. call from Balaar that he and Natan arrived in Hannover, but were at some "Maritim Hotel". oh well. ? we tryed to figure where this hotel is.. after Bal got the receptionist at phone he could decrible us where we could find them.
So soon after we found them in good moods in Balaars Volvo combi (loot!).
After buying also some beer and coke lite (wood was the only drinking lite) we returned all together to gaurons appartment.
We installed Sygate on Woods and Gaurons computer and both took 2 on the isdn line (i really thought it would give performance problems to play with 3 over 1 isdn line) (so 6 over 2lines). but it worked great.
only the computer of G's brother showed up to be really tricky. I spare here details, but it took around 6 hours until it worked. in this time we had all configurations in it. 64, 128 mb, ide hd's,scsi hd's etc...
however we could begin now hunting. it was great to meet all in rl, and nothing beats the fun of playing out of one room.
Gauron had 2 desks, and for the 3d he used a door that was placed on loudspeakers. worked great.. really looked like a desk :)vr> These 3 desks made a "U" formation:
#e#f#
d
c
#b#a#

#=desk; a= balaar ; b= natan; c= Woodstock; d= Gauron; e= Fredo; f= Krid


the room looked like that:

### PPP
# PPP
# |
### KKK

#= desks; P = bed; |= door; K= Armoire

We went sleep at around 9:00 in the morning saturday and wake up at 14:00... thinking we should have a breakfeast. so we took our cars and went in town to figure that it was too late for bf. after having choosed a restaurant we figured too late how crappy this restaurant was. so we stood there and eaten some greek stuff. after returning we began first pking as TG which lead us to many fights until in the morning hours of the next day.
i dont remember what we took as breakfeast sundays, but i think we eaten cold pizza or ordered new ones. fredo left sunday evening, and krid drove at 22:00 home. Wood stood the night and drove at 10:00 mondays back.
It was an extremly cool meeting. The next one will be either in sweden or in Essen. In Essen we have the advantage to have Krid and me living 2 streets away from each other, in Sweden Balaar would organize an IN Café for the time.
Meet (vr part)
Well the VR part was great fun as you can imagine. While at the beginning we didnt really wanted to fight the typical order groups for the x'th time, we hunted them after they visited us in t2a.

Welcome to the Duel Place

We lost 2 TG's this weekend. 1st time Mr.White when we all in the room got frozen at the same time, and the second time String when some antis gated in. Although he casted recall and there was enough time, targetting the rune didnt brought any effect. He klicked over 5 times on the rune until he couldnt klick any more. We tested the effect later, and it showed up to can happen from time to time.
Does anyone knows how to use a targetted rune in uoa ? Not at whole recall makro. i mean: record -> kal ort por -> target -> rune. stop. delete "spellast" so that only the "target" is left in macro. now you should be able to cast recall manually and press macro for the rune. when gauron tested it, it worked one time, but didnt wanted to work again. any clues?

you see TG net meet on saturday

Until these losses we left a bloody trace through britain with tg. I think we nearly got everyone that was hunting out in t2a.

Team Goat

After the antis (Order, many ICE) killed String, we were a little in bad mood, woke TC and got the first one where they killed him, and the rest in papua.
So we switched to old lands and continued fighting for the next 12 hours all that could be fought somewhere.

Team Cow, mooooo ! :)

(We really noticed that ICE was really hungry for fights.. i dont know how many times each of them died this day but they came back every time. that should be honored, although as i said to murm:"we dont really wish to fight the whole day ice or any other order group out there. we fight when were up to, we dont fight as philosophical problematic between order and chaos or any other thing." when he said:"we search the whole day chaos, and when we find.. etc"

Late in the night we continued with our little thiefes.. its very funny to play 6 thiefes in team :) we made much chaos at the banks, and it was really a good break after the fights.
(here Woodstock's account found herself the first time kicked out of game by gm sol for unattended macroing. .the thief made hiding.. while she was preparing tc news..
Sundays we began with thiefes, and continued later after somehow we spoken about old times on cats. Yes. :) we got on our old characters (Krid that came originally from Chea made fast a newbie on Cats) met on Xroads, got horses, Colors, Dye tubes etc.. and were there with our old school chars:
String (still alife on cats with xxx murders, no antomy, no nothing of "new" skills), BARDUR (Balaars old school mage), Natans ex tank thief char there(forgotten the name), Gaurons ex tank thief- char (Forgotten the name) and newbie-krid.
It was unbelivable. With this team we raided 2 times the ork fort from the Shadowclan orks, killed Crimson Alliance Fellows, killed pvp ppl on Cats, and a whole bounch of about 15 Antis. Over the time we lost newbie Krid, and Bardur, but i think df pvp style is very different from cats style.
i mean we really had no opposition there. its like in old times there. there are some brilliant fighters and many many average or bad ones. though its very funny, cause they try and fight too.
Sadly the photo there was formatted away.. it was still on c:. if some of the net TC's has a pic, please send.
In the morning hours we came back on DF and continued order hunting, than heavy npking in t2a like in older days.
After that, Gauron woke Manga and with imps red char they hunted together until some big (17) Antis arrived. with the help of all other TC's the 2 reds killed all antis (while the antis also attacked grey tc's). this fight lasted around 30 minutes. the way from delucia to t2a fort was really crowded of bodies. it was unbelivable.
We lost only natan that was guardkilled when he followed someone grey in town while the 15 sec criminal timer was not over.

Later we decided to try making a trap. On a location we were ready with the reds, somoe tc's ready to dispell the gates and cast wall of stones, while some nice characters where gating ppl from the banks to this are promising them house lootings etc.
.. i think after that we will never have to buy reagents again.

format c:
all that sent emails to Woodstock-TC@gmx.de in the last week, please resend them ! there was no time to really read them, beyound overflying, and they were lost on the format that had to be done after the meet.
Members
Danath makes a pause cause of rl reasons.
Sir Fredo will wear black for the next two weeks cause he sarrows about Lady Xena.

TC everywhere
Check Siege Perilous. Beavis Placed the TC stone on Siege. Congrats Beavis. if we have time we make fun chars and battles there too :)
WHO has still a house on catskills ? we would love to place a tc stone there.. to be able to once more hit the macro "greetings from drachenfels" when we decimate the population there with really old school chars :)

9.11/TC Meet, Vamp and new members


Meet
It seems like we should all refresh our english a little. besides the swedish TC also a TC from UK could come, which would be as surprisingly as cool.
Remember if possible to bring some bedroll with you or if not possible (long distances, or coming by plane, tell other tc's coming from germany to bring some acessoires for you)

Vampire is back on stone after all was resolved. :)

new

members.
Please note that people interesting in joining is going now our normal way like describled in the FAQ, so we know exactly what they are, how they are and how they fight before taking them in tc test week.

7-8.11/TG & TC hunts & the TC Meet


TG
We lost Kindur in an "anti Attck" at Terra Keep t2a. She hold over months the place #3, #4 or #5 on bounty board and died with around 380 kills. She is already on the way back, and is learning some interesting skills atm.
Although this sad happening the hunts were very pleasent and funny.

you see TG saving the poor monsters of the evil and gang banging, grouping and blading peasents that were killing them.

TC we had some funny fights.
First of we acted much time on old locations, beginning to re-learn some lost tactics for this special kind of hunting, as well as some conventional raids on cities and dungeons. a good mix of both could be a very good thing.

you see TC visiting Ocllo, part #1209


seachrching some INC's

The Meet! It seems nearly sure now that our swedish friends will participate too. 3 days to countdown. :)
We also installed a new kind of chat-like-thing that gives us much advantage. Ill not write more on it cause tc news was asked to not post it, but its great. please ask us in t2a chat what to do, so we get more and more tc's involved.


Members

Delekahn is short out of stone to help his old guild OdF in pvp. After short time he will be back on TC stone again.

MiG/N_A

3.11/Team Goat, Members & Online Meet


TG
Today we were out with TG.. As String lost his bounty cause of 2 weeks inactivity, and Manga died some time before, were on the way back :)
The fun lasted some hours, and we thank all ppl providing us with supplys :)

Team Goat playing Orks. Ug !
Members
Vampire is temporary out of TC stone. I would be happy if the problems could be put aside, but i have little influence on them.


NET MEET
The most important thing at the end :)


We will hold a TC Net Meet in Hannover from 12 to 14, maybe 15't. As last time we will bring the hardware together, and the TC-Net Meet can begin. :)
It was a very spontanous decision, cause of some lost some fire and Woodstock was so long absent, and we all felt it was the right time for a TC meet again.
Gauron-TC,Manga-TG, Fredo-TC,IceMan-TG, Krid-TC,Kindur-TG,Woodstock-TC,String-TG plan to come, and even from Sweden Balaar the Fool-TC,Bastiana Wryce-TG and maybe Natan-TC,Mr White-TG are checking if they can come. Moooooooo ! :)
