I left a long time ago.

I was never here.

PS.
Seemed like the Possessed-type clickbate title from the get go so I ignored it altogether (didn't even look at the video tbh).

When were you banned? Anyway, if its your first time, you can appeal and make a new account after a week (the original account will stay banned). Just remember that on the 2nd time you get caught using macros or other cheats, you get banned permanently.

Not entirely correct.
If you cheat you will be banned indefinitely.
Our policy has been relaxed only in case of macros where what you described would be the course of action.

I don't see a reason to unban you. You cheated. That's the final line.

Disappointing waste of time and also oxygen on the guy that recorded this and thought it was funny.

Come on, the first couple of seconds were kind of funny!

First Macro ban, 1 week HW ban, permanent ban on the BT account.

In a week the user can create a new account, try and login and then post an appeal, we will then activate the new account(And your Hardware)

Whoops.


Seriously though, I just agreed to let them do it, I didn't actually set it up. I'm more leasing a tiny part of my land to let them broadcast Internet in exchange for free Internet. I wish there was better but there isn't. I'm too far from the substation for DSL and the phone lines suck so bad that they can barely support dial-up. They suck so bad that they're just run along the side of the road, not even buried. Can't even get caller ID. There's certainly no cable either. Fiber optic exists but it's on the other side of the state line and there's no way in hell they'd split it off to run to so few people. My only other option is satellite which in ways is more miserable than dial-up.

Wait, do I live in America? This sounds like a serious 3rd world post...
Would be nice but it has it's own complications. Plus that's still a distribution. I was more making a point like Koden in that you want to run cabled inside the home, rather than use WiFi.

You beat me to it.  I was going to tell you to move out your third word country...
MURICA!!!

I wouldn't recommend anyone to play over mobile Internet. The latency will vary greatly as described above.

Furthermore, even WiFi signals can be pretty bad for gaming. Especially if you're not too close to the router.

For best performance, you should have a cable come to your house and a cable going to your PC.

Good to know, if server is set to take screenshots of players, will those shots go there at server under system/pb/ - might be actually a folder named as "svss". Anyway those pb shots are most likely either black or pink so they are useless nowadays. But with the logic above thought these shots would go to under pb as well

Client != server
Yes, the server PBSS (like you said, useless nowadays) should go under /pb/svss.

As for where the SS would go on MAC, I'm not sure.

According to the wiki there's 72 maps out of which 70 are tracked. And I would know, I wrote the damn thing

I guess what you're talking about "not tracking" is no map stats are saved. That's true for all the AA3 and mAAp maps (31 in total).

Now for the number of servers. Most of the time there's more servers than there are people online. That just doesn't make much sense IMHO. I understand what you mean, you'd like some changes in maps. However, the problem is not the servers but the people running them and the people playing on them.
You see, most humans are creatures of habit. They're used to playing 1 map and they'll continue to do so. It doesn't matter how many other maps there are out there, they will still join Hospital for their 7000th hour.

This kind of concern is valid and nice and it has been raised before.  There have also been events/attempts to try and "fix" this from within the community (Big Clan Day, Big Party After, Mapstravaganza and so on) as well as from Assist (promoting some maps by doubling points on them), however you can see where it has gotten us, unfortunately.
