Best luck to Team "Goose or No Goose".
But "goose" rhymes on "lose"! A bad omen? Nah, don't believe the hoax.
In the attachments, a motivational picture from the archives: Two geese working well together. Go Go Goose!

Plenty of people play it on Linux. It's one of these games, that works everywhere, even in places without good graphics drivers. After lots of testing, I must conclude that on the same machine in a comparison between Windows and Linux, the performance on Windows is always better. That being said, ev...

An individual from the snowy lands tested some vintage machines with Armagetron. The version 0.2.8.2.1 ran successfully on a 400 MHz PowerPC Macintosh G4 and did connect to internet games. And current 0.2.9.2.3 worked on an 533 Mhz AMD K6-2 with Windows 95. Is Armagetron the record holder for "...

Reliable technology deserves an award.

What does it cost to run such a message board? Is any additional funding needed?

Also, what about trying out a new black theme? This one looks promising:

Armagetron is a very light game that has low system requirements.
Are the graphics drivers properly installed on your desktop? Are other 3D games working well on it?

No. That homepage is one very efficent design! Click one something... Boom! It loads immediately.
And that's king!
Desktops / Laptops aren't smartphones.
Wait, are people actually playing this on their smartphones?

Hey, I have two more useful links for the homepage (https://armagetronad.org/links.php): https://www.armanelgtron.tk/ https://rankings.trontimes.tk/ What about dumping all the disused clan pages? It makes the game look pathetically dead. Maybe it would be better to archive them in the wiki, but for ...

Hmm, adding some description helped partially. Your video is now at least on the second page of "armagetron double binding", "armagetron doublebinding", "armagetron triple binding". (using Invidious, not the Youtube frontend) No success of finding your video with "...

But how can the transcript be reliable for finding a video? So much clutter! In the case of the keybindings video, the "key term", for example doublebinding, wasn't named specifically. But this is what new players ask for and will search for. Could we do a little experiment? See how much o...

There is a keybind video on retrocycles.net which might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joqO_mJA1GA&t=58s Ok, excellent video, but no surprise why I didn't find it (maybe because of using Invidious?). No, it looks like this video is lacking a description, probably even keywords or tags. A...

There are so many talented video makers in the Armagetron playerbase. Could someone make a video about setting up double-/triplebinding? Maybe discussing with an expert player how to use it, pointing out the advantages and looking at some in-game situations of various servers. I feel there are a han...

Thank you, nelg. The wiki is back up again as well.

Fantastic, but problem!
The connection to the wiki seems to be impossible right now. Time-outs are happening.
Could you post the time zone here, when the event would be taking place?

Pinch me.

Condolences to all of you. A friend put himself to a mental hospital as well. At least he gets a rhytm there, getting up early. His story is the sad story of someone, who never got a serious push from his parents to sustain himself. Being 30 now and never having worked and earned some money doesn't ...
