Beta Testers Needed for RL Game

Thanks Oz! Cyanide: I need your AIM/Yahoo!/MSN s/n or email please.

Darwin, when are you on? I keep cking your IM and never see you.

Well, I'll be on tonight at 7-whenever PST, so catch me then. Oh, and I'm on a lot, so be sure you have hippoalmighty as my AIM. Make sure you don't have two "l"s or something.

I just made one today, Cyanide4140, on AIM

It sure is lonely in there (unless I'm just going to the wrong place) and I only have enough arrows to kil Kork twice *pout*

hehe

lol Well the server's only up like once a day, so... how the fark did you get in? Or are you playing the single player game?

Eh... the single player game, probably... I guess that explains the lack of people

Just tried it out, works great on my ATI card, no graphical issues or anything. Its looking great Darwin, wheres this kork guy? Only thing I found to kill was myself, went lookin for that giant taco, but no dice.

I thought I would be an orc, but I went into 3rd person and found I was a pretty hot chick (unfortunatly she had pants).

Graphics look amazing, great landscape. How big is that place? Also when is the server usualy up?

I would like to see this added "Oz Spade killed himself. Moron." or something like that . I think the world is in need of more sarcastic games. "Smooth move slick!" would also be good.

My fave thing so far is shooting into fog and seeing the light, kinda like watching lightning from a plane or space

"Oz Spade killed himself. Moron." rofl that reminds me of Tribes-style death messages! Those would be nice!!!!!

I couldn't find much either, although I did kill myself many times, that was pretty cool. Darwin your first feature request and new #1 priority is *removal of clothing* for your character.

Yes! A special "No Pants"/"No Clothes" cheat code, maybe make it like you type in "HIPPO" (without going into chat mode) and it makes your character naked!

And just to make it clear, I didn't mean put "Oz Spade killed himself. Moron." everytime ANYONE killed themselves, lol, just using my name as an example Although it would be humorous to see "Oz Spade is a moron." randomly in the game.

Bah, as much as I love the beta, I would love it more if it did in fact say "Oz Spade killed himself. Moron." every time anyone did anything at all. Walked, talked, chewed virtual fantasy world gum...

You don't think this would have a negative impact on your psyche, do you, Oz?

Killing yourself is a valid strategy in a lot of games.
Since you respawn shortly thereafter, your enemy doesnt get a frag, you lose nothing, and come back with full energy to frag HIM instead
I've won my fair share of liero games like that.

I've been called many a worse things, many a more times than... well... actualy I would probly see me being called moron more than I ever have been called anything in my life if that were the case. But I think I would only go a little more insane than I am now.

And thats a good strategy eggy, but not all games are like that, in some you lose stuff for killing yourself. But you do make a good point. Maybe it could be neutral, like "Good going!", which could be taken sarcasticly or honestly.

Yeah you do come across situations in some games that, even though you're doomed, you can at least deny someone else's "kill". hehe

I like the "cheat code" idea. lol...

You KNOW that eventually a hippo is going to show up in there, in some form.... I mean come on, this is Darwin we're talking about here.

Ok, i downloaded it, but is connection to the server available yet, it kept saying i was timed out, but other than that, it looks cool, i ran around a little and shot bolts at myself...

I kill myself to reload...

if you kill youself in the spawn area, and then click quickly, you'll be on top of your dying body (while it's still standing).

The server isn't always up so thats why you can't connect, not sure when it is up.

Tehe, I need to start coming up with regular server times..

Ok, lot to address here:

1) The taco was removed
2) So was Kork. He was a test of some AI that I now know works
3) Playing this game in single player HAS no purpose, it's simply diagnostic
4) Hippos are going to be part of the ecosystem, but will also be the only creatures that can transfigure themselves into humans
5) Snappy sucide messages will be added in the next release

No point here, but in Quake2, if you frag yourself with the BFG, you get " < player > should have used a smaller gun."

But I'll bet most of you probably know that.

Cool Darwin, sounds good. Glad I didn't spend more time looking for the taco then, I kept thinking "Ok, maybe its just over this hill..." then "Ok, I'll go to that mountain...", would still be looking for it now.

Ooo ooo idea! Oooooo

Ok, have a cheat, where you can be a hippo, and you can transform to hippo and person and whatever, THEN, as a hippo you get a special "Kill All Gnomes" mission, where you have to go and track down the gnomes and sit on them!

Also what about the naked cheat Darwin? *bats eyelashes*

Whats Quake? Do you mean QuakerOats? Hehe.

Playing this game in single player mode will diagnose me as having which disorders, exactly? I mean, you're not secretly getting my MMPI score, are you?

Bhodi, the very paraonoid, who has lost all feeling in her shirt

Hippo = invincibility cheat

Tribes doesn't just give funny (insulting) death messages when you kill yourself, but also when you shoot others. i.e. "Garoad gives Buttmonger his recommended daily allowance of lead." etc

Btw if anyone's Tribes name is Buttmonger, no offense. Although I've seen worse names....

If hippo = invicibility + avatar then = hippo + when human = naked + when hippo = gnome mission, then YES

And also consider me officialy offended. >

Sorry guess I should have used an actual name I've seen in Tribes before, like "Penisblaster".



.....what?

lol, coulda just as easily said

If potato == rpg wargame / human == retarded animal babies + porn then == hippo rafting lindenworld ride...then YES!
