My last topic relating to hacking was quickly closed because the moderators claimed there were other topics on it. (It seems strange that the only one I could see was the hacking reports, and that's closed to idle chat). I will not be mad if this also gets closed, I just want to make a point.
We have all seen UF waging war on the jj2 players, it seems, mainly because of Nimrod. as in this quote from a packet crash posted on the hacking forum:
Quote:
There was once a (-) named Nimrod. He teamed up with many other idiots to destroy JJ2...Allow me to contribute to the mess they're making.....And while you're at it, sniffing away at these packets, why don't you grow up? Honestly,..do you really think mature people keep games intended for 4-year-olds alive? You sick sack..of (-).....This message (and crash) has been brought to you by UNKNOWNFILE......

Why UF hates Nimrod is beyond me. But it's obvious he likes jj2 for his own sadistic purposes.
He does not realize, in the above quote, that he is pointing a finger at himself (My pastor said once:"Point a finger at someone, and four are pointing back at you.") He claims that we are immature for "Keeping a game for 4-year olds alive" but why is he obsessing over crashing the games then? Crashing a game you claim is full of idiots put you in the same boat as them.
Ask anyone why they play the game casually, and they will tell you that it's the community. When they started, it was for the game, but it also provided a portal for friends. the game in general provided a graphical interface. Sure your character was a rabbit, but that rabbit was a person that provided feedback to your comments! would you change that? No!
Your next argument would probably be "Use email, or IM". No. The casual player is looking for basic entertainment. that's the other part of the game. You don't get that with IM or email. As I had mentioned, the game provides a bit of a communication tool and a entertainment system all in one. You see this kind of activity in Unreal, CS, HL, and all the other multiplayer games out there.
UF claimed he wanted to start a list server and started a topic blasting Nimrod and the other for"Abusing power". When I said that I would be afraid of HIM abusing power, he made some incoherent rambling that I still don't understand, and basically ignored my comments.
His argument that we are all immature was so simular to ThaSpaz's flaming that I somtimes wonder if (ThaSpaz = UF)
I thank Nimrod and the others for trying their best to counter this threat. Keep up the good work, and remember this UF:
If a area gets leveled, life regenerates soon after. When the origional jazz list servers got closed, there was only a short delay before there were other list servers set up. Even if you succeed in eliminating all the multiplayer activity for jazz 2, just watch.
