I understand firefix, and I was contemplating installing it on my servers since day one because the lag was unbearable on the first version on any kind of server, now it is bearable on paid servers but still slightly there. The hope is it won't affect me since they're US servers. An EU server is playable with minimtl as long as its not homehosted(Machete's server and Hey's is unplayable for me). So that's where we stand on that, going to trial run minimtl. Aliasing rule stays though, people not stepping out of their sub 80 ping zone or stepping out and changing their name is just plain retarded and unsportsmanlike.synthetic wrote:Eh no matter how little sense it makes or how impossible it is to enforce it (for repeatedly mentioned reasons), its your server and not really my problem. Bigger problem is your inability to comprehend why the firefix was added. It seems you don't realize that the number of people who won't cheat is the minority. Most people entering your server will be cheating whether they do it intentionally or not (mostly not). This is because game is too old and needs patch. So as a server host you have three very simple options: play with cheaters, play with firefix, or play some other game. Simple like that.The rule stays, will never change no matter how much you try to lecture me on how to run a server. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this acts in the best interests of the Americans and even a few Europeans. You don't have to play in my servers, in fact we don't need you and I'm assuming that since you're arguing so much you a) have nothing better do to or b) are a person who aliases in American servers to avoid shame from the Americans(Continental). Now for the most important question, and stop avoiding it. **Do YOU have any better way to solve the problem of continental Americans taking the urine?** Stop putting this off like it's nothing. This is a serious problem.
And if you go with the first option, you most likely end up banning people who didn't cheat, because they killed you or whatever.
Anyway, hopefully there'll be an alternative fix to this issue eventually.
Edit: As Anticipated it works fine, minimtl stays, and to stop you from flipping your metabolic end product Iremoved "No Aliasing" from the title and changed it to "Aliasing is discouraged" and placed it in the motd
