Reply to Any girls here? in Everything Else Demigod Forums

Hmm funny, most online games I played (not counting WOW) - which aren't many - I regularly saw girls on the server. Sure, not that many, but that was in the days that women on average didn't play much to begin with. Maybe it's the servers I played on. I play games to relax, not to be the best, and tend to chose servers with very relaxed people. I can imagine girls preferring them too. Problem is, they usually kicked my butt :( Then again, everyone did :p except with Enemy Territory, god I was

Granted, but ignoring human rights the CIA pushes you in a fan and kidnaps you. You spend the rest of your days in an isolation cell in the Sahara dessert. When the guards say that you can take a swim you are excited, only to find out they meant you will be waterboarded. I wish alcohol wouldn't make me do funny things and say funny stuff.

[quote who="52club" reply="81" id="2330579"]I've had a lot of great experiences in Demigod, but some of the worst have been in so called Pro games. I'm sure many will say my experience was deserved.

Reply to Stop joining Pro games if you are a terrible player in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'd still like to see a definition of a pro. Normally less than 1% playing a game/sport is a pro. Yet everyone, be it a total noob, still noobish, average, good, awesome, thinks he's a pro. While my (made up, yet logical) statistic dictates that it's pretty much a given that they're not. Although ofcourse everyone will argue they belong to that 1%. Develope some good and absolute (that means measurable or factual) arguments to define a pro. I think most people in this thread

"Absolute superiority" is debateable and it sounds like your bragging about this really awesome house built on weak foundations.

Reply to Tower Buff in Demigod Demigod Forums

I agree. I'd love for the towers to become some kind of objective at which you have to mount 2 or 3 offensives before you can take it down. At the moment once you hit a certain level it becomes a mere nuisance like "hmm no enemy around, flags are okay, I might aswell gank some towers away now". They are feared early game, but laughed at later in the game. Sure the game doesn't have to last forever, they need to go down sooner or later, but I'd love for it to actually require some effo

The irony is in that both parties think they are right and the other ones are wrong. Although Jafo's point about Apple is valid in my opinion he choses a rather blunt way of saying it.

[quote who="StAcK3D_ActR" reply="3" id="2325195"] They use servers rather than p2p. By having servers, 1 person sends the sam info to everyone and only recieves info from each person about their individual actions. In p2p, everyone runs the simulation and sends there sim with their individual actions to EVERYONE else. This means in p2p you send at minimum 5 times the info if you are not the server. Since most people have limited upload, this is the main cause of people's issues. <br

I'm sure they will do all the damage they can. But that's just the point. As an OS you can restrict what a virus can and cannot do, atleast to a certain point. Simple - yet extreme - example: if you do not allow applications to write to your harddrive then they cannot infect your system (I'm sure if you twist my words you could come up with some cases to claim otherwise but this argument is just to give you an example). A 'system' as we use it has many abstraction layers. A virus needs t

There are a lot of different ways to compress, but I'm sure you can imagine that trying to compress an 16 bit string is not of much use. Also, the smaller the data, the bigger the overhead. You could even end up with more overhead than actual data, in theory. [quote]dem

Reply to Reformating and Demigod in Demigod Technical Support Demigod Forums

ACtually if you have another partition or external harddrive you might wanna consider backing up the game if you have a slow connection. It'll save you the download. I could get it at 2+ MB/s (yay impulse servers!) but if you got a slow connection and you want it installed fast then backing up is the way to go. Note though (and this sucks big time about the backup function) you have to install Demigod on the same OS version as you backed it up on. I made a backup on XP and tried to in
