Kickoff mayhem - my new game

[Joriom]

Remember that distance is aproximated. For example my internet connection (most common Internet Service and ISProvider in my country btw) registers as being used from town around 15 km / 9 miles away. Used to be 30 km / 18 miles but they must have placed new hub somewhere closer to me. So its not THAT good.
also remember, that with just one location, you get only a vague information - an arc spanning whole country. You would need to triangulate the position using more than one location for it to be at least a bit accurate.

What I'm more concerned about is that this game is direct P2P so... players in lobby can easily spoof each others IP adresses. This could possibly lead to sniffing open, unprotected ports and other system holes. Thats one of many reasons why services which theoreticaly do not need centralized server often use it anyway at least as a proxy for clients to comunicate.

Look at Fang taking command and Given acting like the senior player of the game. Like a pack of hyenas all over Lopdo.

Please, allow me to join in. I've taken the opportunity to simply be "Wolf", though I've claimed two other usernames just in case.

Me, taking command? Nah, just trying to streamline things.

Well, blue player was unable to score and red team got a point for getting it past any point on the other side.

can you tell me more please? What happened before and what do you mean by " getting it past any point on the other side." ? you mean getting it behind the line somewhere other than the goal?

[Fangfallen]

Could you add some backround music?

[Lopdo]

nope, no music

[Fangfallen]

nope, no music

Okay, I'll just run my own in the backround...

And now for my grand suggestion.

In real sports all athletes have their strengths and weaknesses. I suggest adding a player stat modifier, perhaps each user gets 10 points to spend between three fields.

A. Speed. (Some athletes are faster than others.)
B. Strength. (This would make it easier for you to push another player, or resist being pushed.)
C. Kick power. (You can actually kick the ball away, rather than push it.)

So this would enable people to make their player unique.

If they crossed the goal line it scored, but when blue got the ball into the net, it just bounced back like it hit the side. But that hasn't happened again since. (it was on my first game)

[Lopdo]

This is a simple game and simple game it will remain

I do not plan to expand it too much, probably won't have budget for that. What I am looking for are minor things that would improve experience (like the controls thingy). There isn't "how to..." anywhere and I would like to keep it that way

I have an idea what might have happened, but I will need to test it first, thanks for the report. If you see it next time, please try to note if it was first match, if the room settings were changed (especially map size) and stuff like that. Thanks!

I love the way that we've essentially repeated what we've suggested for VW.

(I'm up for another game to test if you want)
