I wont say I told you so. Oh shit fuck bugger I just did, damn

Dont worry, we have all that covered

So this has what to do with the league? I'd suggest thinking about saving the league from collapse rather than arranging some impromptu grudge match to 'show them'.

I like it as it looks at this moment. Bear in mind it doesnt appear to have links to forums, irc rules page or more importantly the download section.

How would some kind of grudge match in-game prove anything in relation to how one member of a gang speaks to a member of another gang? Surely the two points aren't related? Someone you think is an arsehole doesnt always have to be a bad fighter, we all know this.

Nice one Oli, sections like that should help it to run smoothly

The leaders meeting was held tonight and rules and organisation agreed upon, its shaping up to be great fun Members: See the TEA thread on either forum for details

Yes thats the idea, initial tests show that a lot of ingame stuff runs strictly by the clock and setting everyone on the same time should 'sync' them all. What remains to be seen is if the weather is regional or universal, i.e. if Player1 is north of island one will he have the same weather as Player2 south of island two, or will it only be the same if you are in the same place at the same time Will make for some interesting new play tactics if weather does sync.

I'll have a think about suitable MTAMA scripts for role play. Game modes are sometimes offered on the official servers. If enough people want to play then they are run, often not enough people do A trend ive noticed is the smaller server is more prone to roleplay type playing. Cops will team up, people will spontaniously start to play in career teams, (mex's killing sailors etc), Whereas on a larger server the chaos reigns supreme. We do have a new official server waiting for a use, so perhaps it could be set to 10 or 12 players and have the rpg scripts running, (provided some suitable ones can be made). Nice ideas

Very good find DeathB. Personally I'm disgusted. Until now I'd seen GTAT as healthy competition, with its own track record of offering much and delivering little. But slipping something like that in and hiding it is unforgivable. GTAT will never be installed on my machines, not even out of interest for what is achieved. I prefer to know if someone's making money out of me.

OK leaders had a meeting with organisors today and drew up the rules and format etc, they will be posted in full on the league website but so you know: best of three rounds wins the match scores: 3 points for a match win, 1 each for a draw, 0 for a loss. Game modes: may be chosen from attack/defend/ffa (as used in previous leagues), cops v robbers script, team DM script timed rounds. these are to be agreed upon by both gangs in advance max/min players: between 5 and 8, amount of players to be agreed between bith gangs in advance. Team may choose to fight even if they are short of members, providing you have minimum of 5 players Cheating: If a player is seen to cheat the entire gang is disqualified from the league. Refs and admins: one of each to be present during each match. Mode specific rules: in defend and attack rounds the defenders may not use helicopters. defenders may leave the 'base' but if at any time the base has no defenders in it the attackers win. (so lets leave at least 2 or 3 people in base at all times, to take into account timeouts and crashes ) Spaz is not allowed Substitutes: Gangs may have between 5 and 8 players per maych plus 2 substitues. These may come into the game in place of another player. Substitutions may only be performed between rounds, i.e after round one but before round 2, or after round 2. NOT during the round. General: Timeouts and crashed players may rejoin the round quickly. Servers may be booked by contacting [FMJ]Oli Match arrangements to be announced in your countries league forum. Thats all i recall, sorry if its a little muddled im typing as it comes to me. Will add anything i missed

Spotted this in mtama on the 10 player official tonight: The_n00b: take the jump JoStud: didn't make it. The_n00b: with a vehicle The_n00b: JoStud: oh!

Excellent mad_boy, glad to have you. I'll add your name on the forum

Current members MrBump Boss xenex rebel Bagger Firefox Carstone MAD_BOY TURBOB Bishop Still waiting to hear back from one prospective member. There is a leaders meeting on saturday to discuss rules and organisation etc, more news on here and on the official league site im sure once these things are sorted. All members please sign up for the league site @ http://www.mta-euleague.com/ if you havn't done so already. Cheers.

Actualy ive PM'd several users about, and stepped in to remove signatures in the last month or so. It does seem i am the only moderator who does so though, and I have a lot more to do than just monitor these forums. IMO the stated allowable size in the rules is a little too generous.

In future, if/when vehicle weapons are all working without problems there are 2 things that will probably be done with the hunter, the first is to place it in suitable game modes, a Guerilla Warfare / War on the streets mode for instance with tanks and heavy weapons.. The hunter wouldnt be overpowerful or out of place in that instance. The second would be simply to reduce the 'health' of the hunter to make it a lot easier to shoot down, and have it as now, in the normal dm game, there would then be no need to hack around with the ammo levels etc. It's all about balance.

Adding more admin will only make the server monitored for the hour or two they play on it (if they do, people play on lots of servers), as i said before the big problem is people dont bother reporting the cheats in the proper place, all of the team can take action and do so when they are reported. So in short dont complain about there being cheaters if you are not prepared to take 5 minutes to report them in the appropriate place so they can be dealt with. There are more than 2 admin already, their names are not broadcast and advertised mostly due to thier own request. They would like to be able to play on there without retribution for any admin actions. Its simple, play on the officials and the few other servers in mta-servers all of which have admins you can actually get in contact with, or play on some anon server in ase and have no option to remove disruptive players at all.

There is almost always an admin available for the officials, every report of a cheater is looked into, the BIG problem is its very rare that anyone go's to the effort of reporting them, short of being ingame 24/7 the only ones i can pick off from admin are those that state they are in fact cheating, this is a minority obviously. Overall cheating is rare in comparison to previous releases. Help us to remove those few who still can't grow up and play properly by TELLING US. For those who dont know, the admins are on IRC, on server irc.multitheftauto.com, Report any problems there and they will be dealt with.

Unfortunately VCA can no longer be allied to KFC Due to certain KFC member(s) targeting and upsetting certain VCA member(s) I'm not sure if its stated in any of the official VCA posts that we are allied, I shall search now and change them if so.

Or play on servers that have reachable admin, such as all the ones advertised in #mta-servers on the irc

0.3r2 doesnt need 0.3 first, its a full beta not just a patch. Not sure why the readme says otherwise, not sure who wrote it for .3r2 (not me )

Recap: The official 8 player is now a 10 player, this should still be fine on your dialup (anything up to 14 players should be). something i missed the first time around, due to the way our client/server operates someone with a 9999 ping will NOT lag anyone else.

votekick isnt mentioned in the officials MOTD

Can you not just hit 'restore to defaults' ?

Ransom : Like in MTA you mean?
