Upcoming RampageMOO

Some of you may remember a time when SD was down for a few days and during that time, we established an old copy of the DB and announced it was RampageMOO.

What is RampageMOO?

We drop a shitload of weapons and cars and toys into the game and say 'anything goes'. There's no expectation of realistic play, no relation to REAL Sindome and it's generally a lot of fun.

I am announcing that in a week or two, there will be a RampageMOO established at what is going to be SD's new home.

We're moving to a spiffy new data center in St Louis, giving everyone much better access and lower latency (lag go down!) and I'd like to test things out before I move the REAL Sindome.

So pass the word that we'll be doing it, and keep an eye out for the announcement (those things I haven't done one of in a reallly long time at the top of the forums page) in the coming weeks.

Can I get a boatload of UE so I can have some temporary combat skills?

Please?

Pretty Please?

By Max at Sep 18, 2003, 6:06 PM | 0

Actually, yes, UE will be given out for this purpose.

RampageMOO does two things, lets you fuck around and lets us test the environment and the code under high stress.

*stands on top the arch*

Moving the server to St. Louis?!?

WOOOO!!! STL representin'!!!!

Ok…so maybe i'm alittle too hyped up over the st. louis thing...but..uh...who wouldn't be excited when TwinkMOO returns? Er...RampageMOO is it's name now supposedly...well...hmm...

Eh well. RampageMOO it is! It doesn't matter...it's coming! Beware! AND READ THE SIG!!!

I cant wait to see what it's like. Being a new player, I'm anxious to see how things work.

If I remember correctly from the last time … you would 'die' or at least be knocked out for a short period of time .. (2-3 min or so) before waking up in the spot you died.

By Jinkorei at Sep 19, 2003, 8:52 AM | 0

So technically you cant die in RampageMOO?

By TigerRei at Sep 19, 2003, 10:37 AM | 0

Um.. if the server moves to STL does that mean WST will change to? like with the timezones? just curious

By Tool at Sep 19, 2003, 12:03 PM | 0

No, the server time will be WST (aka, Pacific <daylight/standard> Time)

Even when it was in canada, it was on pacific time.

Withmore isn't moving and thus, its time does not change, just the server is moving, and because we're centered around the MOO, its easier to keep the whole server on the same time.

That's because Johnny was feeling everyone up.

RAMPAGE MOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh this is gonna be so much fun.

By allandra at Sep 19, 2003, 1:11 PM | 0

Murf you up for a swan diving competition off of the NLM tower?

By Tool at Sep 19, 2003, 1:12 PM | 0

Man…I totally remember TwinkMOO...it was the greatest...

And if I remember correctly, Lucifer came back for a bit of swan-diving off of NLM with Tylissa...but I may be wrong there. Maybe I just imagined it...but I'm pretty sure it happened, cuz I saw the SPLAT. Hehe. Those were the days...

By Kain at Sep 19, 2003, 9:40 PM | 0

TwinkMOO! I'll definitely have to try to make time in my relatively busy schedule the past few months to attend that. Can't possibly miss that, although it seems I still can't be arsed to actually log in very often anymore. Maybe this'll spark enough motivation for me to get back into the flow of things, although I probably wouldn't have time to log in as often as I used to.

I wonder if all my favorite obscure combat bugs are still around, since I could never figure them out enough to write useful bug reports last time. Damn, I can't even remember what they actually were anyways. Although something other than 'Johnny lays hands on you' should be used for the insta-heals, I still feel so dirty from that…

Oh, and for anyone who doesn't know me from Lance's graffiti days, this is Lance's player. I only think there's a few people who actually knew that... Hmph.

By Spaze at Sep 19, 2003, 10:14 PM | 0

Lance lives woo-hoo!

I knew it would take more than a small army of judges trying to banish him to stop ya'

By Jotun at Sep 20, 2003, 5:43 PM | 0

I know of a person who's done that for real, and survived.

By Lujan at Sep 24, 2003, 2:03 AM | 0

Eh, real as in not on TwinkMOO ;P.

By Lujan at Sep 24, 2003, 2:19 AM | 0

I've jumped off Westinghaus once and survived.

Ladies and germs, the time approaches. Prepare yourself, for the hour may be later than you think.

RampageMOO gets boring too easily.

Hurry up with the switch to RealMOO.

By Spaze at Sep 27, 2003, 5:53 PM | 0

Hehe, thats why we don't do Rampage MOO all the time ;)

By Johnny at Sep 27, 2003, 6:13 PM | 0

Hey… I'm learning how to gut people with stuffed bunnies and how disarming is -fun-. *coughs*

But i am so easily amused....

Anyhoo. How long is the switch schedualed to take?

By Bias at Sep 27, 2003, 10:09 PM | 0

Well it was also amusing to put a sniper on top of a building, and lure people into fighting the spotter outside. :biggrin: Especially when you have two other characters guarding inside the building. Allandra must've died half a dozen times trying to get to the top. But the fun wears out and RealMOO becomes more interesting.

By Spaze at Sep 28, 2003, 8:20 AM | 0

ok, this was my first rampage moo, and it kicks ass, it does get boring kinda quick, but it does give you a chance to test out stuff you wouldn't do in the game, and makes the game that more interesting to return to.

By Jotun at Sep 28, 2003, 12:16 PM | 0

Uhm…RampageMOO ain't working, or did I miss it again, heh.

By Lujan at Sep 29, 2003, 1:41 AM | 0

You missed it, again.

:(

By Jinkorei at Sep 29, 2003, 2:05 AM | 0

So its over now? �:beaten:

By Aikao at Sep 29, 2003, 4:54 AM | 0

Well it was fun while it lasted. And it was a pretty good learning tool as far as I'm concerned. As Spaze pointed out, Alla died -at least- half a dozen times trying to get to the sniper on the top of westinghause, and there was only 3 people in the way. Even though they got the 1000 ue to spend I'm pretty sure they where all newly created for RampageMOO and had only newb UE spent in addition to the 1000 UE that where given to us. Allandra on the other hand is prolly in the top 5 most UE'd player chars in the game, would be more but I have to take long breaks often and I hardley get more than 2 UE a day when I am on. But anyways…it goes to show, In Sindome you don't need to be UE'd or a hella badass to cause some rukus, -4- people held down the Westinghause for quite some time, and I didn't even get near the sniper, well I did but just long enough to get thrown over the edge. Well I guess what I'm trying to say is, A small group of people, virtually unarmed kept an established combat char at bay and bested her many times before -they- finnally got tired and left the westinghause. Learn from it, use it, kill Judges, take buildings, GIVE ALLANDRA AND MURPHY SOMETHING TO DO! (side note, I'm not saying we don't have -anything- to do, thanks to the admin and a certain char Allandra's RP has been interesting as of late to say the least)

By allandra at Sep 29, 2003, 5:56 AM | 0

Not to mention I was controlling all four by myself, and was very uncoordinated with the several terminals open. If they had been four real people, their effectiveness would've been tripled, so that says a lot about what a group of people can do.

By Spaze at Sep 29, 2003, 11:32 AM | 0

So, after 22 fucking hours, the data center managed to figure out why the IP was routing somewhere else and pointed it back.

So, Rampage MOO is up for now. No sense turning it off yet. Go kill something.

Just be lucky and on your knees thanking someone that Lucifer isn't still around….

*adds 1000 UE to Luc's old stats.*

BLAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

By Lucifer at Sep 30, 2003, 4:38 AM | 0

Yeah, I thank my lucky charms. What would 1000 UE do for Lucifer? Let him make three stat raises? :sad:

By Spaze at Sep 30, 2003, 5:14 AM | 0

uh, I dunno if i'm supposed to be or what, but I'm on rampage as I speak, or type if you will, by myself unfortunately…

:(

By Jotun at Sep 30, 2003, 4:57 PM | 0

I've shutdown RampageMOO for good tonight. The next time moo.sindome.org is used, it will be the REAL MOO. I'll e-mail out an announcement to all players this weekend if everything is smooth and I decide to go thru with it.

By Johnny at Oct 2, 2003, 8:17 PM | 0

do we get to see a death count total and other such misc. stats?

By Timmy at Oct 3, 2003, 5:10 PM | 0

Yes, i'd like to know how many people where gutted by stuffed bunnies and how many grenades exploded gutting the stuffed bunnies.

By Bias at Oct 3, 2003, 5:13 PM | 0

Only one, Nicadeamus.

Well, to celebrate this year's Rampage run, I would like to dedicate my second most recent remix:

http://12.241.46.251/djfire/music/mixmash.html

it's the Prodigy, tracks 1 through 10 from the Fat of the Land album, all mixed together and arranged into a single 6.5 minute hella megamix.

Enjoy!
(and feel free to praise/dis me on it)
