Excellent. As long as we are making up new ones…

FAMNP = Flags Are Mines, Not Powerups.

nah you must be lying…
flags are cute, they can’t possibly kill people.

Maybe if I just step over one one more time I’ll get a shotgun!

What the fuck is wrong with you? You don’t say that ever in a FPS! :blah:

(Miles Teg) #26

Yes you do.

*Player has called a vote to kick DeAthSnIpEr

  • Someone else: Why?
  • Player: Well, the name. And he’s AFK.

:moo:

\bind mousebutton1 “say Get to the frontline pussy or I’ll shove my thompson so far up your rectum you’ll spit bullets out of your mouth”

but then again… I might bind mousebutton1 to +attack :slight_smile:

[sub]yes i know, the syntax is wrong[/sub]

(twiFight) #28

usually just hit chat and type “idle” right after votekicking, helpt 95 % of the times…

(Miles Teg) #29

Yes, but sometimes people say ‘afk’ instead of ‘idle’. So the abbreviation is relevant.

(Englander) #30

Ive seen AFK many times in RTCW,let me think is that an FPS :???: :banghead:

(weasel) #31

It’s okay to go AFK for like 5 minutes to answer the phone or something, as long as you join spectators first. Most people don’t bother to do this, though. They’ll just sit in the spawn.

It’s got nothing to do with FPS games. All these abbreviations are common to gamers / the internet in general. In IRC, if you’re away from keyboard you’ll usually do /nick Ti-Ken-AFK to let people know you’re just idling and not really there, etc.

(twiFight) #33

then what would be the better term (fucking up the purpose of the thread now :))

  • saying AFK, while the player might still be behind his keyboard but just not playing the game

  • saying idle, while the player might not be playing the game but doing something else which makes him not idle

I demand a vote! :smiley:

(Miles Teg) #34

I vote for pacbanpet!

(Possibly at computer but apparently not playing Enemy Territory)

(SylverDragon) #35

The real pain, is when someone calls for a vote to kick you, and says you are AFK, while you are, in fact, at your keyboard and actively playing the game. I had this happen to me over the weekend, some putz called for a kick vote on me and claimed that I was AFK. I sent a response along the lines of: no I’m not, you useless tit; though a touch more colorful. I got lucky and wasn’t kicked, but it sure pissed me off.

(twiFight) #36

is your sig in reverence to the Metallica song?
Come to think of it that would make good ET playing music

(Bongoboy) #37

Metallica?
When playing ET (or any other game for that matter), I prefer to have frantic banjo music playing.

It stops me taking it too seriously, and prevents blood spurting from my eyes when I get fragged by the same guy for the ninth time [mentioning no names, Salteh : )]

Also, it’s just really cool. In fact, I desire to be followed around by frantically duelling banjo players everywhere I go.

And I want a cookie.

:moo:

(twiFight) #38

Hey, you’re the designer.
Enemy Territory v1.03:

  • all new banjo player model
  • all players get banjo as weapon when going to lvl2 battle sense
  • new exhilirating banjo music

Oh and if you get spurting blood when getting killed then I’d suggest you get another job. I usually get killed 9 times by a teammate alone…

(Bongoboy) #39

We were hoping to save that for Doom 3 :weird:

:moo:

(twiFight) #40

Nah… high polygon count makes banjo players look gay
