Rename

For things that have to do with those crazy test servers... and yeah. By request of z-man, and, of course, you gotta obey...

Rename

Post by Z-Man »

Since we're no longer using CVS and players were confused about the name anyway (to most, CVS == the fortress test server, I've seen a funny chatlog with Luke and a player in IRC were neither seems to notice CVS means something different to the other), the servers need a new name.

Currently, they're named "Bugfarm Sumo" and "Bugfarm Fortress". Does anyone have better suggestions? Having "Test" somewhere in there wouldn't hurt.

Your old bookmarks should still work.

BF Fortress sounds kinda funny... But I have no better suggestions, so I should shut up.

How about just Fortress and Sumo, or Test Fortress and Test sumo, since they were the first ones and most people call them that anyway.
You've gone too far, turn back!

What about sumo practice: fortress and fortress practice: sumo? :D

No, really, Experimental Fortress/Sumo would be my favorite.

I like the Bugfarm name myself, has more character.

How about Buggy Antfarm, just to confuse people.

lol, yes my bookmark does still work, although i didnt find the server at the internet server list first :)
maybe you could give it names like:
Bugfarm: Fortress Test Server and
Sumo: Fortress Bugfarm Practise

:wink:

Is everyone trying to scramble all the possible words so that they make no sense? I like the bugfarm names. Anything else and it gets confusing.

To keep it simplistic, there would also be "Buggy Test Server: Fortress/Sumo". I'd like to keep the z out of it and bugs and test in, thank you, sub :)

And sumo has developed a life of its own. It started off as fortress practice, and it still can be used for that, but it's no longer what it is for me.

One side effect of having "Bug" in the name is that people shout the name when online... But it's wearing off already.

I guess "Bugfarm" stuck :)

Tank, could you rename the subforum to just "Test Servers"? It doesn't have to be completely reseved to my test servers, either. Wrtl's race and Luke's CvS have a place here, too :)

The bots have no concept of area domination and don't know the position of their own tail. I could make them try to stay inside the zone, but they'd still be very bad players. And if it's full, why would you need a bot?

Thanks for the rename, Tank.
