He's a big mouthed quad camper who made everybody upset. Finally he was kicked off for being a badass jerk by one of the clan members. He came back on with the name [NEO] X and got back by lagging the server to hell. He warned the players that he would packet-attack the server and time everybody out. Well, he did it and laughed as players were popped off one by one. I didn't get bumped probably because I'm an LPB, but surprisingly he managed to bump himself off. My question is how does a person do something like this? Is it a simple command within the Quake II console or does it require a separate program. Is there any way to track his IP? Thanks in advance for any help you may provide. -- WOMEN'S LOGIC If a man says something in the woods and there is nobody around to hear him, is he still wrong? --------------ABBF9766327424DEDA02313E Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="Rabaa.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Talal (Anthony) Rabaa Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Rabaa.vcf" begin:vcard n:Rabaa;Talal x-mozilla-html:TRUE org:Rabaa Computers & Electronics version:2.1 email;internet:Rabaa@Home.Com title:Entrepreneur tel;fax:(613) 596-4667 tel;home:(613) 596-4667 tel;work:(613) 596-4667 adr;quoted-printable:;;370 Forest Street=0D=0AApartment 504;Ottawa;Ontario;K2B 8B3;Canada x-mozilla-cpt:;0 fn:Talal Rabaa end:vcard --------------ABBF9766327424DEDA02313E--
