Of course as the saying goes, there's no such thing as "friendly" fire.

Always a pain. The trouble is, the best code in the world isn't going to
remove llamas from the game, not unless they start doing force feedback
mice that are wired to the mains anyway...

(Llama found beaten to death by own mouse, film at 11)

Actually, most of my games are like that. I should really get round to
memorising what team I'm on.

>Thats why I would prefer not to play FF.

Fair enough, but you have that option when your looking for somewhere to
play. Admittedly, it cuts down your choice of servers slightly, but not
by very much.

There are ways around this of course, assuming you're that bored you
could always make multiple connections until you had enough people to
vote in your favour, but I think this might be taking things a little
bit far. :)

On a completely unrelated note, anyone played about with Roger Wilco? I
got everything working after a while, but don't have any addresses.
Anyone want to set up an AQ2 base station, and does anyone have any
experience of how it impacts on bandwidth/gameplay?
