Games have been transitioned onto a nice shiny new server running in our Ashburn, VA location.

I'm tired of cheaters.

You now need to register prior to being allowed on the Quake gaming servers.

JG20000104

QuakeWorld cheat voting has been implemented.

If you are sure that somebody is cheating (in other words, you _see_ them cheating, you don't just suspect that that they are cheating), you may vote to have them banned from the server. Use the "users" command to find their userid, and then type "cheater nnn" where nnn is their userid. Please note that I get mailed when this feature is used, and frivolous use may result in undesirable results.

Some QuakeWorld cheats have been released.

Users noticing cheaters are requested to report the cheater to service@ns.sol.net. We would very much prefer that you carefully verify that a player is cheating before doing this, preferably by entering spectator mode and watching the player in question. Speed cheats are particularly easy to spot.

As a matter of policy, I have much better things to do than to listen to reports about cheaters. So, when I do receive a report of a cheater, I am not going to be very happy. However, my wrath will be directed in the direction of the cheater. I _will_ report cheaters to their ISP, and request that they not participate unless they can follow the server rules. I've already received numerous humorous replies from ISP abuse desks. One of them called and talked to the player's mother. If you play on my server, you _will_ follow the rules. You _will_ exercise common courtesy and fair play. Or ELSE.

Map voting for some games is now available.

A nice shiny new machine! An ASUS P2B-DS with 256MB ECC PC100 memory and a pair of PII-400 CPU's, it is approximately twice as fast as the old system was. Enjoy!

JG19990304

Since the CPU is running a bit busy these days, and we are seeing peaks of 60-70 users, we've pretty much burned through the last upgrade less than a half year ago. I've got a new machine ordered and it should be online soon, which will allow us to host more games and more users.
