Can people stop bitching at each other over term limits and go back to making fun of Republicans? You guys are killin my tear fueled buzz

I think the main issue is the lack of a 2 5-minute term max when commanding. I don't care if you are pushing on the last hive, you should totally beacon your team back to hold elections for the next commander. I believe you must have a majority vote to start any research because democracy and America. Also armories are socialist obamacare.

Jesus I read that and it reads like crazy.

Yeah there's a setting that server admins can enable but no one does.

What is this setting so I can enable it on my server?

I wish the goon server wasn't full so I didn't have to put up with things like alien commanders who drop a second hive as soon as the game starts, then work on celerity, so that at five minutes we have two resource nodes.

There are 3 goon servers. Check the PGS thread.

Isn't it 2 full level 2 shotties even with carapace to kill a fade?

A level 3 shotgun blast does a max of 220 damage. A Fade with carapace has 250hp and 100 armor, so 450 health. 2 perfect shotgun blasts does would leave a fade at 10hp, or kill him without carapace.

What's going on with the NS2Goon server? Is it down for good or did it just change names?

I believe Garfu renamed his server to NS2Goons, since Kerpal took the original NS2Goons down.

Also there is Knife the Hippo:

From the Private games server thread:

Yeah I'm kind of terrible at running this server. I also edited that post in PGS to include:

MC2552John posted:

There are only 3 bans on the server, and all of them are from people breaking the "No being a racist/sexist/bigot" rule.

The bans are:

ezakimak: reason: N***** is not "just a word"

heisenb0rg: reason: Rule 1 (He went on a slur tirade of some serious proportions)

MY ANIME SEXPILLOW: reason: Rule 1 (Calling people f******)

And to clarify, there is a system that Kerpal put in place at my request that goons can kick non goons to make room for themselves on the server. Read the PGS thread for info.

No, he didn't explain why he can vocally harass me (regardless of the server he finds me on) and call people bitches. It's just a bit hypocritical.

If I called someone a bitch, it was Dan, and always in response to his saying he is going to smother me with a pillow.

The accidental ban was totally unrelated to anything you think may have been directed at you in chat (it wasn't directed at you :ssh:) since it was, you know, accidental.

E: Also if you were on the alien team, I remember my screw up now, I was trying to ban the guy who went on a slur tirade of truly amazing proportions in team voice quickly, and like I said, my eyes failed me and I clicked the button one line up (you).

Because you probably won't win the game early because you got camo, its a very bad risk to take. Like I said earlier, if you can win early with camo, you probably didn't need it anyway. It's kind of a cheese.

Also holy poo poo that long rear end cave game on knife the hippo, that flipped sides so many times. My brain fried while commanding that. Very shocked we won. A cloaked onos is actually what threw the wrench in their side, so cloak can be really awesome later in the game.

It was me. I was that Onos.

In a comment to whomever runs the knife the hippo server, change the way your idle kick works. Almost been booted for healing up a hive and not moving, while in delayed spawn from uneven teams, and been booted because it takes me about 65 seconds total if I accidently alt tab.

I can't change anything since I'm out for Christmas with only my phone. :v: I can tell Kerpal what to do if he is ever on steam when I run it on my phone, sorry.

Knife the Hippo is a goon run server like NS2Goons, right?

I "run" Knife the Hippo like an alcoholic absentee father "raises" his children.

E: Read the poo poo that pops up when you join Knife the Hippo. The server has surrender votes and map votes and random team votes. The idlekick is draconian on purpose, the purpose being that I am a power tripping assclown. In the NS2Goon thread in PGS Kerpal has also laid out a way where you can kick pubbies to make room for yourself if Knife is full.

E2: And Knife gets updated pretty quickly when new builds are released. It is running the newest 237 as of this post.

Let's see, 1300 + 800 with carapace armor. 2900 versus 580.

It's 1300+900 for an Onos with carapace, so 3100 hit points.

However, the Exosuit has 580 armor, which is 1160 hit points.

An onos is 1300+500 without carapace, so 2300hp.

And exosuits are 400 base armor, and gain 60 armor per level of Armor upgrades, with 580 at Level 3, so between 800 and 1160 hp.

Does anyone know a good server that isnt KKG or one the other big 24 person ones? I got really tired of the team stacking when we were able to take the map, rush single exo, and punch the only hive to death.

My shameless self promotion is to say Garfu runs a server called NS2Goons and I run a server called Knife the Hippo, both being 20 man servers. Now, are the servers "good"? I don't know what people think of mine, but I like Garfu's server well enough.

By vents do you mean resource nozzles* or tech points? If the former, you do have to cyst up to resource nozzles to build on them. If the latter, it used to be like that but it made it incredibly easy to lock down Aliens to one hive. Also, given how long they take to build, dropping an early hive without either static or mobile defences and/or a gorge to speedbuild it will kind of bone you.

No man he means vents. The things that are orange on the map and marines can't get to some without jetpacks. He wants to take away these hiding spots/shortcuts early game so that neither team has an innately faster way to go across the map early in the match, while also preventing aliens from hiding in places where they straight up can't be shot for at least a couple minutes.

Too bad it's broken and the admin vanished. It's been empty ever since we discovered that the random function puts everyone on Aliens and people like me kept voting for it. There are too many scripts running or a patch broke something or something.

I'm around, but I don't get to play much, and no one tells me these things :(

I am working on it now and am hoping to fix things.

I fart around in the Natural Selection 2 Goons chat room sometimes. The servers are NS2Goons and Knife the Hippo. I'm trying to get a hold of the guy who runs the NS2Goons group so I can ask him to let me do announcements so I can annoy everyone to play at the same time in a big goon orgy.

I also linked them my forum profile and ns2stats page. You can view a player's NS2ID via the sv_status command. You can use this to find their ns2stats page via Google. Their NS2Stats page links to their steam profile. UWE doesn't like name-and-shame on the forums, so send them an e-mail with any proof you have. Be ever vigilant! Every hacker banned is another 25$ until they can play NS2 again.

That's his steam profile page.



That is from his steam profile if anyone can't see it.
