I am disappointed the ability to have a saber or weapon cut someones grapple has not been implemented, would have added an interesting twist.

In the latest JA+ you can do just that, not sure about sabering, but you can shoot it. It's soooooo funny when someone is hanging over an endless pit, and you shoot their grapple and watch them fall to their doom.

I have an idea, let's start up our own server. No rules, no "no laming", just pure FFA. On base of course. Someone flames for getting "lamed" kick 'em. Someone comes back and complains about it, ban 'em. People who camplain about getting "lamed", are (in my opinion) "LAME"! I got JK3 in late 2005. So as a result, everyone could own me and I had no skill (well now I realise it was crappy JA+ servers mostly. I'm not too bad on base servers). So I killed people while they were chatting. As a result I got banned from every server I went on for "laming" (first thoughts: thats the retartedest online term I've encountered! It still is to today). So, I went looking for mods (found JA+, just made it worse) and found MB2. Since that actually takes "skill" and you can't mix thier servers up with other FFA servers, (well cause it's not FFA) I had a chance to gain skill. Anyways enough with my whole boring life story.

My clan doens't run ja+. We only run base and we have ffa almost every nite. We enjoy tffa cuz that is what involves someteamwork and is a good way to improve sabering skills. We do not however use force. Just sabering and jump.
Although jump 2 is ftw anyway. And laming is not something we hate in fact end up fighting for who can kill the dood that started to talk first.

Anyway ja+ imo is the gheyest thing in the world because of everyone holding to no laming like it is inspired messages from w/e diety they believe in.

Doesn't matter. JA isn't the only amount of servers that are corrupted. You think this is bad? Wait till you see ALL of the servers on JK2.

By the way, if your looking for an equivalent of a real FFA in powerduel form, play Jawascript or Skubascript. You can either choose to 'lame' or 'not to lame' but when you hurt someone in chat you lose 'karma' and lots of people like darkside karma (- karma) because theres a bug with force lightning that makes you freeze for like ten seconds. So yeah theres always
jawascript or skubascript. Oh yeah I forgot to mention it also has a rare aspect - weapon powerduel!

Yeah, I also liked the Courisant Temple server. Is it going to go back up anytime soon?

lol its funny seeing everyone complain about the no laming rule and all the people socializing especially since they dont do anything about it o.O. if you dont like how it is then get your own server. anways i like the social aspect of the game.....dont see too many games like it. i also like the no laming rule( i feel like the minority)...its kind of annoying getting up to get a snack and then coming back to see my character dead. ive never hada problem with FFAing either as long as people do it away from where the people who are "sitting there talking to eacother".

well its FFA. Free For All btw incase you didnt know. its a fighting game. the objective is to kill. if you talking and not paying attention ur gonna get killed. unless of corse your using JA+ and have a magic bubble around you while ur talking. its not the "no killing while talking" part of the rule that bugs me its more the "no killing while some1s saber is down even if they r still force spamming you". what if some people dont know how to make thier own server or dont have a good enough pc? and if you wanna go get a snack go spec. on second thought i sorta like the laming rule. its fun watching people spaz out cuase u killed them while they were chatting or afk :lol: .

Precisely, that part is just stupid. If I'm taking a lightning bolt from someone, then I don't know about anyone else, but I'd sure as hell class that as a hostile action.

The main problem I see with it is that some people believe FFA just shouldn't exist, and some people think that FFA shouldn't be an "opt-out" scenario. It's idiots on both sides of the debate.

I'm all for allowing FFA, but if someone simply doesn't want to participate in the FFA for whatever reason (taking a short break, for example), then they should have every right to opt-out and then opt back in when they're ready to continue.

The majority of servers would be so much more enjoyable if anything was allowed under the condition that combat was consentual.

This is pretty much the only rule I ever take to heart:
"Something is only out of bounds if the other participent doesn't consent to being a part of the activity." Want to start an FFA? Go ahead, just leave people alone if they don't want to be part of the FFA. Want to sit over in the corner and duel instead of participating in the FFA? Hey, feel free.

Just don't try to shove your way of gaming down everyone else's throat. Y'know?

No one has a good enough PC to run a server. The only good server is a dedicated server, and if it's being run from a home PC, it's just not dedicated. There shouldn't be one single server in this or any other gaming community run from a home-based PC, since they offer a vastly sub-par gaming experience.

Ever wonder why you lag to hell on most clan's servers? Yeah, it's because the morons think their half-assed outdated PC and 8mbps ADSL connection is good enough to run a server. Well, it's not.

That's how you can tell between a dedicated server and one that some idiot kid is running from their computer. Dedicated server = relatively lag-free experience for just 'bout everyone (unless they're, like, at the exact opposite end of the planet). Home server = laggy as hell for anyone who isn't close to the host machine.

Just because a computer is good enough to run the game doesn't mean it's good enough to host a server for it.
