Welcome to the forums nice to meet you

And thank you for resolving the problem I had! Appreciate that 😃

Perhaps we could also take maps out of rotation after being played for slightly longer? I think it's 6 to 8 maps before they show up again? 

How about this one? 

https://et.trackbase.net/map/240/

my ET downloaded it earlier from http://teammuppet.community/servers/france/MrMuppet/10//legacy/z_Winter.pk3  - but it seems to be missing now. I'm guessing it may have been the PK3 that caused the mouse cursor to disappear. @Dmxj

I've uploaded it here but you'll need to name it 'z_Winter.pk3' or wait for admins to fix it

FWIW, I saw several people failing to connect (including you) and notified admins on server.

Wtf?!?!

Both of you are from planet Klingon?

Happy b-day.29 ... so its 87 human years,just like jess😇

I'm actually a really *huge* Star Trek fan! For those that don't really know, Klingon is a language from the show with actual syntax and grammar. I could talk for hours and hours about Star Trek, but I suppose what really grabs me is that the various shows all show something worthwhile.  Human beings that work to help everyone indiscriminately, while also showing various facets of history and societies. For instance, if we just take race, the "Cardassians" are a militaristic race, the "Ferengi" are prime time capitalists, the "Bajorans" the spirituals that were forced to become warriors. The "Klingons" of course, warriors for honor but throughout the shows, we see how absolute power (in their "high council") keeps corrupting.

And if we go further than that, we see Star Trek promoting inclusivity, i.e. with the first colored woman starring in a show on TV. It promotes multicultural values, including the first interracial kiss on TV! The various technologies (cell phones, anyone?) that Star Trek envisioned and inspired are plenty. 

There's so much more, but since you didn't specifically ask, I'll spare you more!

Note: I'm talking about the older shows (ST: TOS, ST: TNG, ST: DS9, ST: VOY and ST: ENG). I'm not talking about the new shows/movies - since they seem to be missing the original Roddenberry vision (humanity to all) and that's sad.

Some (incl. me) are inclined to vote along specific requests in (intermission) chat. So perhaps we can vote slightly more public. 

One thing that irks me about voting is that you can't change your selection (in contrast to silent mod) so it feels very definitive, you can't adjust, and you can't preview what people are voting for. That has some upsides, but I fear more downsides.

Welcome mate. 

Keep in mind that you ALREADY ARE in your deadly 30th year 😉

Oh I noticed ingame haha

It'd be nice if we had larger maps when there are lots of people. Maps such as (mlb) temple are really cool. 

Hi,

I've been playing ET for a long time on and off. You'll see me play as Bad Robot. Interestingly, today's my birthday - and I've turned 29. Just a year to go before the dreaded 30.  

Feel free to ask whatever's on your mind. I'm not good at introductions, haha. 

Cheers!
