Hey gang-

Been coming across more and more players whose Ping does not display
when queried.  I know this has something to do with trick characters in
their name, but how is it done?  

I've searched every Quake website I know of and can't find anything
other than the normal name editors that don't mention anything about
this.

I'm just a lowly 33.6 HPW, but heck, if they can hide their ping, so can
I! <g>

I think it doesn't show if you turn of player prediction (dumb thing to do
IMHO)

Hmmm- I don't think player prediction was implemented in Quake.  It is
only in QuakeWorld and Quake 2.
