13:00.47Guest211can someone please explain to me how the mofo Highscore plugin works?
13:10.44KTLGuest211,
13:10.46KTLmmm
13:10.48KTLso euhm
13:11.03KTLtake a good browser
13:11.04KTLrecent one
13:11.08KTLand go to http://images.planet-mofo.com/donf/ranking.xhtml
13:11.23KTLclick around there
13:11.40KTLand if you have questions remaining (not everything is explained there) then euhm ... ask me more :D
13:13.16KTL(also put on sunglasses cus the colors on that page are slightly oversaturated)
13:13.59Guest211ok, so i see the ranks
13:14.07Guest211i dont really understand how they get them
13:14.12Guest211is it like "highest score"??
13:14.32KTLone plugin records the 1 on 1 scores between registered players
13:14.35KTLA kills B 10 times
13:14.39KTLB kills A 5 times
13:14.50KTLresult: we expect A to be twice as strong as B
13:15.21Guest211ok
13:15.30KTLbut there other 1 on 1 scores to consider too
13:15.41KTLand it is a matter of finding a compromise between all of them
13:15.50KTLthat general ranking there is such a compromise
13:16.17KTLif you click on a player you might see the error curve for that player
13:16.22Guest211ok
13:16.28Guest211so i have 2 accounts
13:16.29KTLand his rank is chosen to be at the minimum somewhere
13:16.34Guest211and one of them is pretty highly ranked
13:16.40Guest211how does one get up the scoreboard?
13:16.50Guest211simply playing and acheiving high scores on MOFO?
13:17.01KTLah the scoreboard on mofo is different
13:17.06KTLbased on different data
13:17.26KTLfor the scoreboard you dont even have to be registered, just kill 40 times and logout
13:17.38KTLor go on and see you killratio degrade even further
13:17.41Guest211mofo player ranking i mean
13:17.58KTLah the ranking, for that you just have to be registered and shoot other registered players
13:18.15KTLshooting yourself or teammates or non-registered players doesnt count for the ranking
13:18.22joevanoGuest211: I would just suggest playing well... don't worry about ranknigs unless you are trying to game the system
13:18.31Guest211neh
13:18.38Guest211just curious as to how i increase my rank
13:19.09joevanoif you play well the ranking will come... if you are playing for ranking you are missing the point of the game IMHO
13:19.19Zac_ok
13:19.23joevanoah... well that explains all
13:19.26KTLkeep an eye on all 1 on 1 killratios between you and others
13:19.44KTL:D
13:19.45Zac_what explains all?
13:19.56Zac_that i'm Zac??
13:20.06KTLcant follow
13:20.15Zac_neither can Zac
13:20.29Zac_i'm assuming joe is insinuating something
13:20.52KTLbut to really game it must be difficult
13:23.06joevanoonly insinuating that it is you asking the questions, seems to fit you
13:24.34Zac_i like asking questions when i dont understand something
13:24.39Zac_nothing wrong with that :(
13:37.06joevanonope... nothing wrong with it, but you definatelly are a question asker
13:37.32*** join/#bzflag PrezKennedy (MK@whitecalf.net)
13:38.23Zac_ok
13:38.30Zac_just to reiterate
13:38.44Zac_to increase my rank on that Mofo player ranking site i just need to kill tnaks on Mofo?
13:38.49Zac_final question :)
13:39.02KTLand not be shot
13:39.31*** join/#bzflag PrezKennedy (MK@whitecalf.net)
13:39.44KTLjust try to get a good killratio against everyone
13:39.53KTLeuhm
13:40.00KTLagainst the registered players that is
13:40.24joevanobut the better place to ask for a definative answer would be ##planetmofo since it is their ranking and not ours
13:40.41KTLhehe delusional will try to say the same :)

15:13.59JeffMhow many SOC projects did we have total?
15:14.11JeffM4 + 4 + 6?
15:18.48JeffMor was it 4+5+6?
15:21.01JeffMis grans a web developer or just someone who likes to spec out web systems?
15:23.51*** join/#bzflag temporalD (~a_temp_di@bzflag/serverop/TemporalDistraction)
15:24.50blast007JeffM: seems like a web developer of some form
15:25.03JeffMthats what I get from his comments too
15:25.12JeffMI've never seen him here before
15:25.53JeffMand oddly it sounds like he is specing out a totaly new group manager rather then just extending the one that was started ;)
15:25.57blast007he's been on IRC a couple times
15:26.02blast007and I've been talking with him
15:26.03JeffMk
15:26.06JeffMcool
15:26.26JeffMis the nubbins that is the started group manager even worth saving?
15:26.28blast007and he's aware of the existing code and plan
15:26.40blast007shrugs
15:26.53JeffMConstitution started it IIRC
15:26.54blast007to be honest, I haven't looked at that code in a LONG time
15:27.12JeffMsame can be said for all of us regarding any bzflag code ;)
15:27.14blast007also haven't looked at Gran's proposal/plan yet
15:27.19blast007:)
15:27.27JeffMit is very large
15:28.11blast007I guess depending on when Portal 2 arrives, I might give him some feedback this next weekend ;)
15:28.35blast007"This proposal is great. You monster."
15:28.52JeffMwhy did it take so long to get it?
15:29.07blast007I ordered it from amazon
15:29.14blast007$30
15:29.22JeffMahh
15:29.28JeffMcus they have this thing called steam
15:29.36blast007yeah, steam it's $50
15:29.38JeffMwhere they send you games over the interwebs
15:29.50JeffMit was cheaper if you preorded it
15:29.57blast007$45 preordered
15:30.05blast007iirc
15:30.06JeffMI got mine for less
15:30.14JeffM$0
15:30.16JeffM$40
15:30.17JeffMsorry
15:30.22JeffM30 is a good deal tho
15:30.25JeffMit's a good game
15:30.45blast007of course my amazon prime trial expired on the 29th... I ordered it yesterday :/
15:30.53JeffMit shows why you need a game designer not just a bunch of dudes writing code
15:30.53blast007could have had free 2 day shipping
15:31.13blast007yeah, I'm excited
15:31.27blast007hoping I can run it at a decent quality setting
15:31.38JeffMI liked the song at the end of the first one better
15:31.47blast007ooo, another song?
