Gunbound!

[LochnarITB]

I tried gunbound.net and it is up. I also jumped into gunbound and played a quick game (oh the sacrifices I make for people!). However, things are definately messed up on the servers. The starting server list only had descriptions for 11/12 and it wasn't the usual description. When I picked 11, it took a minute to get in. When I got in, there were no games showing, only the chat and buddy list. I clicked on waiting and it popped up the little please wait window. When games did come up, they were low numbers and each subsequent click showed higher and higher numbers so it may have been that the servers were just coming back online. Anyway, it does look like the servers are up but with possible problems or attacks going on.

As to cheaters in games, I have been seeing a lot of that too. Just yesterday, I had one incident where it showed me as getting a team kill penalty when it wasn't even my turn. One of the other players asked what I was doing and I said "nothing". They then said "me either" with a smiley. Before I could grab a screenie of this cheater, my game died - surprise! I have also had a lot of games where people just start disappearing. It is also odd that I seem to have my most communications problems shortly after calling some cheat/hack on what they are doing. I will just never understand the mentality of people that want to bring grief to other peoples fun. If they would just learn that it is a game and that they could have more fun by removing players with skill rather than the click of a button, we would all be better off.
