What do you think about the area effect code (/area) in team scrum? Personally, I don't like it at all. It totally destroys any ts game once everyone starts booming each other into oblivion! For example, I just played on Napalm's excellent ts server with 9 others players and it quickly became a joke as EVERYONE started using the area effect to bomb everything that moved! It turned what was a good competitive match into a farse.
I hope Napalm removes the code as well as any other admins. Shoot, I wish there were no boomies at all, just rely on pure shooting.

What do you think?

I agree. It's especially annoying when you inadvertently pick one up and get stuck with it.

I hate it too.

What,you expected a big speech?

^nods
ditch the scripts nap

The weaponschangers and tankchangers can be alot of fun
the kids love them but.....
Most vets and myself included do not like them in a "real" game
I am there for the competition and to learn new skills
Occasionally I run a special server for the lil ones
jump in a fly around as a ufo etc
but as a rule not in Realms or my ScruMods
my 2 cents
Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooster

I hate the "/boss" code on some of the servers, please take out the public tank, team, and projectile, not the admin 'mk-' codes.

I have never been very good at using the powerups..... Wait, I have never been very good at shooting anything...
(nevermind)

All of the ammo codes were removed from my 7 minute rotation server this morning. The standard power up ammo changers are still present, but players can not change to the weapon of choice at will. Maybe that's why I didn’t really enjoy last night’s games. Felt kind of scrumless. Is that a word? Can we make it a word? TG, are you going to correct me if I use this regularly?

I believe "Scrumless" should be hyphenated.

Scrum-less is more appropriate. Get it right next time or I WILL battlemode you in the next game.... (wait... Never mind)

Bring it baby!

_{eagerly waiting}

FYI - these codes have been gone from my server for some time now.

What were they? I never even experienced them. Oh well, guess I need to get online and play more. Heh.

As a player you could type /area and immediately get an area effect weapon. I put up the server as a device to let people see the PS8 terrains with a 7 minute rotation. It appears people have taken a liking to but I never removed the player codes. After some of the guys expressing the discontent last night I removed those player options. Should make for a better, cleaner game.

Thanks Napalm! Much appreciated!
