Today, new uniforms were issued for Infantry classes. They are really cool, just I had few problems with resizing… There are some snapshots:

(I took off the forearm pads as there is no wristcomp anymore… Maybe I will add it by myself. But thank you Lurdan!)

*This article may contain critics of MBC. If you like MBC, do not read it please or read but don’t start some drama as usual :p.*

Now, seriously:

In past week we made couple of assaults on the army named Mercenary Brothers Commando. During the combat, we found out that they are unfair players and that they don’t even follow their own rules. Funny, isn’t it?

From yesterdays attack, I took a video to show the true to their High Command. They said that the offsetting guy will be punished etc. Nothing happened to him.. I understand that those people are not able to accept situation while they were defeated, but still.

(as a result of posting this video, Merczateers Combat Rolls were banned from their SIM for no reason… When I overlook this video.. I would say that it is because they don’t have any good scripter who can script things for them… Their weapons lag, SIM is full of scripts… Any other ideas? :))

Today we went there again. Sadly, I think it was even worst. They rebuilt the flag room, so they had better access to it, and also the guy with his homepoint in the flag room had it almost next to the flag again (but he knows now what does it mean to be blackscreened :D). First time while counts were like 4 Merczateers versus 9-10 MBC I got inside just the first run, captured flag and boom. Explosion appeared under me, while nobody had a clear shot on me. Soonly I got few more Comrades so we were 10 versus 16, but we handeled it.

NUMBER THREE:

[8:52]  New Jessie's Capture the Flag v.1.0 - March 7th, 2009 shouts: Mercenary Brothers Commando has lost the flag at this region after holding it for 15m 16s.
[8:53]  New Jessie's Capture the Flag v.1.0 - March 7th, 2009 shouts: Honza Noyes has captured the flag at this region for Merczateers.

(Honza really captured your flag and you can say what you want you morons)

NUMBER TWO:

My friend Larten crashed and appeared in their base where he relogged before the crash.. He TPed us there… We held the flag and *boom*, five people were banned with no reason (than we pulled out).

NUMBER ONE:

Their own rules don’t allow use of breach charges:

[8:40]  Taren Spyker: b
[8:40]  Taren Spyker: b.5
[8:40]  [Carter] Breacher 2.6.4: Breach Deployed
[8:40]  [Carter] P&B HUD 5.2: Breach Deployed

I was told that they will inspect it… We know how it will be inspected… They will tell him:

“Good work man, just next time… please do not use breach charge and if yes.. Make people not to see you..”

In conclusion.. I will try to get my Comrades unabanned a.s.a.p. and as I told Ayatora we won’t stop attacking them until they will start mass banning us, make a blockade on us or start following their own rules.

As such as it is, there are tons of roleplaying games in SecondLife. On my alt (I don’t have enough group space on my main to join groups like these), I decided to join one of them, named Crack Den.

Crack Den is mainly located on a SIM named Hathian and there are few other SIMs too. All SIMs are Class 5, so we would expect low lag… but no. When you come the the Hathian SIM, you are welcomed by a notecard with rules and a tagging device (I highly recommend you to set your drawing distance as low as possible – 64m, because the texture load and load of next few SIMs arround lags). So you are in the HUB, now you have to fill out a “Civilian Application” to become an official member of Crack Den roleplay. It takes about a day untill you get accepted and invited to the group. In the HUB, you can also find some freebies and cheap weapons/clothing/equipment.

During waiting, you can come down to the city (do not forget to wear the tagger) and you can start roleplaying. I really recommend you to read their Roleplay Guide, because it is useful for first start.

Today, I visited Mountain, SIM of Raven Raiders and what I found here? In the HUB on a board I found Raven Raiders Army’s best skilled customer list (customer = enemy for RR).

And, what I wasn’t expecting was, that there was my name. Seriously, I am really glad that I got to their list, because we really don’t attack Raven Raiders so often.

Also have a look, my really good friend Ayatora Slade (Merczateers Kapitan) is here too! This is intense guys!

 So yeah, as many of you could know, I usually had 5FPS when I was in SecondLife on my laptop (now, I have 50FPS on my new desktop PC). Yesterday, I wrote, that I have installed Windows 7 to my laptop, and it speeded it up. When I tryed to start SecondLife, it failed because of it’s graphics driver which was newest and I think that SecondLife doesn’t support that one yet, so I have downloaded one from Intel website and reinstalled that driver. With Aero turned off, I got normally 5-6FPS, but when I turned it off, I got 10FPS++ while I was moving!

So yeah, I really think now, that Windows 7 can speed up your computer/laptop!
