Allegiance at i10.. :)

[SupahFly]

What popularity will Allegiance have at i10? I've just managed to get a copy of the game and i'm really interested in playing.
I've been reading through the pre i9 posts in this forum for advice etc and just wondered how many other people will be playing too :D I wish i'd discovered this little gem much earlier. (sob)

[Joey[kins]]

rar another convert - there will be a few orgnised allegiance games during the event, usually after the boat race when most of the staff are off duty

[MONK]

There is one copy in Portsmouth I can pick up if people can not get hold of it any where else...

[Big Giant Head]

I've finally exhausted the last copies of allegiance available in MK

I will actually try and play it this time too :)

[ShadowMan]

Found a couple of copies in Nottingham GAME if anyone needs one

[afty]

Allegiances quality is beginning to shine through as the years roll by.

Almost every event sees *more* players in the Allegiance games than the last. I might add that it would be a good idea to *END* the idea of staff v. punters as this will alienate punters who get mashed regularly - everyone needs experienced friendly players on their teams to learn from.

I hope *MANY* of you will join me in the Allegiance punter area at i10.

[SupahFly]

Great. I'm looking forward to this :D

I like the idea of Staff vs Punters, but I think the mixed game idea would be far better so that the punters don't get completely 0wned!
Is there anywhere we can play some decent online games b4 i10? There is not a soul in the allegiance Zone anymore :(

[afty]

Try the free zone - I dunno if it still works / is there, but there used to be quite alot of regulars played in it. Late night is good, to match USA time.

[Joey[kins]]

the allegiance zone doesn't exist... there are sites with the patch as a zip file available... use the current version of SOVroute and join as a LAN game rather than a free zone game, you'll actually see servers that way...

oh, and staff v punters never really happened anyway... we'll just stick to picking teams to keep it a little fairer

[Noodles]

I'm WELL up for some more aligence....I don't know how but it was on the FTP at i7 and i've loved it since.

Just don't let squiremuldoon be the leader again or we'll get raped....FH all the way!!!!

[SquireMuldoon]

2 things.

1. I did not want to be commander. I was nominated cos I had *some* commander experience.

2. My team were aruguing with me that the Ballista was not a bomber. We were playing Rixians... and YES IT BLOODY WELL IS. GSFS thx. Thats why we lost.... cos my team was utterly ****e and clueless.

Its not always the commander's fault. He can only ever do as good as the players on his team.

[Noodles]

I'm sorry

I love you Squiremuldoon, I promise to never doubt you again.

[SquireMuldoon]

Damn Right! :D

[LordPhil]

Squire Muldoon strikes again:p:

[James Nukem]

I take it you faild to notice my score after that game then :P.

I was on Squire's team in that game and totaly 0w3nd people with my fighter skilz :).

(me notes that i killed Mouce at least 4 times and BGH once >=D)

it was a fun game but one of the main problem was we were a "little" out of date technology and ship wise to FH's team.

Its been realy fun playing Alligance with you lot. been playing it since i8 :)

Cant wait till i10
(and if you need a skill'd fighter @ i10 pilot ;))

[Wise Washu]

I guess u haven't noticed that i am the bets fighter pilot and turret gunner there is.

/me head expands then explodes from amount of ego

FH beware my new shiny polished fighter, i is gonna 0w3 u newblood

[SquireMuldoon]

James... we talking about the same game?

I seem to recall we had 2. The first one lasted at least an hour (vs Wildhog I think). Yes we lost... but i thought it was a reasonably good game.

The second match I decided to go with Rixians, just for fun. It didn't last more than 5 mins because no-one believed the ballista was the rixian version of the bomber... and consequently started witholding cash donations... and lost miserably!

[James Nukem]

cant remember which game it was now but i remember you selected me for your team ;) and it lasted longer than 5 mins as i tried to totaly 0w3n the other team with my fighter skill.

Yes we did lose but i took as many of them with me as i could >=D.

It was a very very fun game for me, i got to frag quite a lot of people ive gotten to know on these ere forums (me points at BGH once more lol)

[TelexStar]

well i've just bought the last copy in the whole of my city (well, its not actually 'my' city but more the city i reside in :D ) for a princely sum of £19.99 :)

My next question . . . .

do i have to sign up for the Allegiance section in order to play with u guys? My main game is CS and i know that there is somtimes a problem with playing games on different floors etc etc.

[Big Giant Head]

I believe the rather lovely program known as SOV Route solves that issue :)

[TelexStar]

so i take it taht it is a problem then?

[Big Giant Head]

it used to be, because allegiances lan lobby only searched for games and didn't allow you to specify an IP

SOV Route adds that functionality so you can play from anywhere in the building

[TelexStar]

cool - i presume it will be on the ftp?

btw, FearHawk +fellow Staff Allegiance people - Unfortunatly i wont be there for i10 so make sure you get as much 0wnage in as possible because come i11 you will enter what can only be likened to the fall of the roman empire! :D

DEATH WILL BECOME YOU!

[Joey[kins]]

/me makes the "bring it gesture"

bring it

:smokin:

[TelexStar]

got the problem with the stuttering ingame sorted by turning on sound accel as u suggested :)

I'm surprised this game is'nt more popular given the fact that there is'nt anything else like available.
I'm still getting used to the incredably busy HUD and flight strategies, not to mention the vast array of keyboard shortcuts.

If anyone has any tips, i'm all ears! For example, whats a 'Ripcord'? and how do i change my launch location?

DEATH WILL BECOME ME!!

[afty]

Sit in the Allegiance area :) The game is too mature, and deep to give specific tips out, but try to sit near to experienced players and learn from their style of play.

[Big Giant Head]

ripcord essentially allows you to teleport to teleport stations, begin a ripcord and you'll see little red dots appear next to the sectors you can rip too

to change your base fly into the base then click on the high screen to the left of the launch door (I think) then find the base you want to swap to and click transfer

[TelexStar]

bah - problem is that i go to the i-series with my CS clan m8s and as such will be in the CS section. I'll just have to learn from experience i guess :(

thx BGH

[SquireMuldoon]

If nothing else... at least go through the tutorials.

There are also (at least there were) some online guides on how to be a better pilot/commander.
I'll see if I can dig those up for you.

[Catachan]

www.planetallegiance.com - for all your Allegiance wh0ring needs.

[Joey[kins]]

that's if it had been updated in the last 1000 years

[TelexStar]

I agree

It does seem to be a little out of date. The MyAllegiance site however has been very usefull in getting me set up to find and play online games.

[Nunk]

This seems interesting i like space sim thingies, will the demo work.

Coz i cant find it in the shops :(

[TelexStar]

hehe, it is ver spares in the shops - virgin seem to have loads in stock tho, have u tried them?

[Joey[kins]]

IMPORTANT NEWS!!!

I have spent all day throwing a comprehensive guide to playing allegiance together. It'll be on the i10 intranet but if you want a preview you can see it on this page right here! that's right! follow this link! hi! (http://www.multiplay.co.uk/infoshow.asp?id=64)

thanks for your time :smokin:

[SupahFly]

You sir, are a star. :D That is really usefull for Allegiance n00bs like myself. I'm still having trouble playing on servers at the moment because I dont think Allegiance likes my router, as will all Zone games :( so I may have to install a modem in my own machine... we'll see.

[Jedi180]

someone explain the allegiance patch to me cuz i couldnt play at i9 cuz i oculdnt get it working and everyone was buseh, this time im up for a game, i used to play on zone when they had people playing :(

[Joey[kins]]

the patch is a zip file thrown together by yours truly which you just extract over your current allegiance folder

[LordPhil]

I asked Afty in #multiplay and he DCC me the patch:)

Can't wait for some Allegiance action at i10:p:

[Jedi180]

u CAN buy the game from jungle.com , it swhere i got my copy from AGES ago :p:

[Destrin]

Just managed to find a copy of Allegiance buried in the back of my local Game for 9.99

please tell me the FTP @ i10 is gonna have all the necessary patches and extras for us to play :)

[SquireMuldoon]

Yes, it will.

[JackPott]

Its pretty good, Wizzo makes a fairly good commander too.
Shame i kept dying and running out of air fs

[Destrin]

mmm - Allegiance 0wned

(goes to search for servers out on the net)

and Wizzo sucked as a commander!!!

(sukling because I got shot down by him 2 many times)

[SupahFly]

I just have to say that Allegiance was far better than I expected.
I played in 3 big games, i cant remember how well I did in the first two, but it was pretty lame. I jsut flew around in a scout, naniting people and getting blown to shreds. Oh, and I rammed 10acious in a true n00b style about 8 times :D
The 3rd game was better though, I managed to jump in one of 'I'mgawddamnl337atCommanding' Fearhawk's bomber turrets and came 3rd on the points table for our team. W00t.
I want MORE!!! Again, the next i-series is too far away!

GG WP all that played and organised allegiance over i10, it was great fun and the tutorials were excellent. Plus, I know how quickly Winamp will d/l on a 2mbit ADSL connection, ROFL.

[Cabe]

supeh, the phrase is "very"

[Joey[kins]]

since that was my first attempt at commanding the Rixians I'm quite impressed at how it worked out for us :smokin:

and I'd like to take this opportunity to advise afty not to go IC Supremacy anymore cos it obviously sucks big floppy donkey dick

hi

[afty]

OMG.

Your pain will never end. IC Supremacy is *the* flexible tactic.

[Destrin]

GRRR @ Afty

You couldn't hae waited 1 more minute too surrender??

I was just about to shoot Wizzo right up the arse with a full load of missiles!

[Joey[kins]]

since i've now got an ic adv fig as my forum avatar i'm tempted to put a big red line through it just to remind you that you've never won using that tech :smokin:

[afty]

And I'm tempted to go and get a teaspoon so you can EAT MY ÁSS

[Joey[kins]]

Afty dearest -

if you gave me a teaspoon, dropped your kegs and bent over I promise you that the consequences would be infinitely worse for you than anything you had planned for me

[afty]

OMG. My pilots will crush your rebellious ickle ass at i11 Fearhawk. Mark my words

[Joey[kins]]

not if i bomb your arse back to the stone age first...

which i will

have a pleasant day

[LordPhil]

Allegiance at i10 = TOTAL OWNAGE:D

wp FHWK, afty and who ever lese was involved setting it up :bandit:
