Do people even read my posts when they're more than 2 sentences long?

A rule regarding this would not be pointless. We already have rules that are important, but still unenforceable, namely regarding the use of external programs and macros. People really shouldn't vote yes just because it can't be enforced; there would still be an effect on honest players who want to play by the rules (and people can still change their votes btw).

By labeling markings as illegal, that would mean players using them are actually cheating, not just doing something 'lame'. 'Lame' isn't a deterrent for players like me, I only care about the rules, and using every legal advantage I can. This poll will at the very least affect whether I use markings or not, I wouldn't have started it if I was content using them and keeping it to myself.

If used with notching, people can gain a bit of an advantage in BnG (and other schemes) by placing markings on/under their monitors, I even did it for a little while myself, and a number of people seem to currently do this. It's especially helpful for 4 second full power shots, petrol, etc, so you can know exactly where they'll land.

This subject is iffy, but I think we shouldn't allow any kind of visual aids for the game, no matter how small or inconspicuous they might be. It's just one of those things that would look very amateur in a live setting, and to me, playing as if someone else is watching is the standard we should adhere to.

Lack of enforceablility doesn't matter much to me; unlike notching, this is at least something we could enforce in a live setting.

It's just strange we can still find new phenomena in a game that's been out for 12 years.

General discussion / Animal Jumping Tutorial
November 22, 2011, 11:11 AM
I've just finished something of a tutorial to teach people (including myself) about the exact causes for animal jumping; animals being sheep, skunks, moles, cows, old ladies, and salvation armies. It's pretty in-depth, and if there's one thing you should remember from it, it's definitely the height of that ceiling in the Narrow Area Behavior section.

Reading this will save people serious pain when it comes to animals. You'll be able to more clearly see beforehand what kind of routes are possible/impossible for an animal to take, and where the animal is most likely to go. There is also an amazing replay at the end, brought to you by Deadcode.

I'm extremely grateful to Deadcode, who helped me get many of the facts right that I couldn't possibly observe just through testing, and Cybershadow helped me a bit earlier on too. There may still be some minor inaccuracies, but I'll mention when anything changes.

We were talking in our own thread.

CF, can you do Saturday Nov. 5th at 20 GMT? Seems to be the best day for us.

Notching is fine, the game would be better without it, but it's always gonna be there so you might as well start using it.

I was Zeke the plumber from Salute Your Shorts, old show on Nickelodeon. I was actually really happy that I had the means to dress as my first choice, it's kind of rare.
