Rattler

I don't know if Jon Ballinger's site is still out there but I highly recommend his "The Calm Before The Storm!" Look for it, it's WELL worth the search if you find it! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

I believe that the only email addresses that aren't clearly available in the BB profile are those personnel who have chosen to not reveal them publicly. I could be wrong though! I've always had my email address available in my signature, started long before they were available by clicking on the profile box was enabled. It's an auto-link to your email program and is still there for anyone who wants to email me directly. Commander, it's a good idea that you have here. Glad to see someone else stepping up and saying "I'm Here!" ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 09-20-2000).]

"Uncle Rattler" is old in the BC world! I know you were talking about what age would be considered old in a world that really was happening in 3000A.D. I just thought I'd throw in a little humor. I shared this with another elite group of gentlemen the other day and think it appropriate here as well. In real life I'm a retired Navy CWO. On my last, and I do mean LAST ship that I served on I had young Airmen working for me that, I suddenly came to realize, hadn't been breathing as long as I had been walking the decks of carriers! That was an eye opener for myself. What really was the kicker though was when one of these young Airmen suddenly came up to me and, with a serious look on his face, asked "Warrant, Is it true that you were a cabin boy on Noah's Ark?" He paid dearly for that,.....and so did the Chief that put him up to it! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Yep, That just about covers it. Many times we've seen "Mysterious" crashes and the lot which were caused by an overclocked system or video card. That's why the statement is in the manual. If tic's got his running on an overclocked system and having no problems then more power to him. Just remember though, if it starts to go south on you, bring the clock rates back to normal and it should straighten out. "Nuff Said" Thanks Greg! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 09-17-2000).]

quote:Originally posted by tictoc: the only explaination in way of comparison i can think of is mayby, putting in a new proc and letting it bed in before o/clocking it, y'know, You've got to be kidding me! Somebody didn't RTFM! You never said anything about overclocking. That would have told us what was wrong in the first place. It clearly says to NOT overclock. Glad you finally got it to work but, for future reference, do not overclock while running BC3K. It causes strange things to happen and you'll chase your tail for hours, not finding any reason except that you overclocked! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 09-16-2000).]

You did mean "Wing Leader", right Richard? Let's clear that up asap and never use those two words again in close proximity, like sequentially. I must have misunderstood what Alun was saying. I thought he was capable of modifying any profile of anyone who was below his level of clearance. I was only asking because that, if he could modify those attrubutes, then he might could also see all attributes in a profile. Some should be reserved for Admins. Things like Passwords, etc should not be visable below admin level I think. Again, only my personal opinion. SC might have different ideas and I certainly shall follow his lead. Have just checked with another Level 1 clearance. All is still preserved. My appologies for being overly cautious. SC knows why I'm this way though. Makes for longivity in a security based world. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 09-15-2000).]

But....but....but......I gots to know!!!! Start Xplaining there Commander! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

There's a quick answer to that one! I can adjust your profile to Normal User and stop you from editing any profiles! Personally, I'm against anyone but Fleet, Aliance And Admins from having access to anything that allows editing of profiles. That's just my personal opinion though. We're working hard at keeping sanity as the rule of the day in this new Data Base. Too many cooks in a kitchen will surely spoil the dish, IF it doesn't burn the whole place down. By the Way William, "Welcome Back!" Now I have a question though. If you can edit other's wings, can you edit other's data in that wing, and are all fields visible to you in the profiles? ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Being a Life-Long hater of unions and the B.S. that they claim to do for their employees, I say "Give them the same treatment that the US gave the air controlers" back when they all went on strike also. "You're Fired!" works every time. It's different over in the UK I hear, but like I said, "I hates Unions!" You can't fire a non-performer withoug having to go through so much B.S. and the Union Steward as well! I say fire that S.O.B. as well and give the money back to the employees where it belongs! I appologize for ranting, but This burns my tailgate! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Taking Insurgents for granted and starting a thread such as this could result in the destruction of some of your Fleet Characters in RP. We have not done this in the past because that's not what the Insurgency is all about. The Insurgency works to free Earth, not start uprisings on other planets. This is a dangerous idea and gamble to say the least. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

And here I was thinking that maybe his refresh rates weren't matched. It's been quite a while since I visited the subject of Voodoo 2's but wasn't there something about ensuring that you had 2D and 3DFX refresh rates matched? There also was some limitations that had to be observed in the shortcut and .bat files. Correct SC? I'm also leaning towards the drivers, not just the ones for his Voodoo2 board, but the drivers for his 2D board as well. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Those are in the other thread Charles. Are those the ones that you are talking about? I think Cruis-In is talking about something else because they are still there. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Yep, That'll Work! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Who's been deleting posts? If it's not the SC doing it, and I surely have't done it, then NOBODY had better delete a post from this Forum. Understood? Now what's this about deleting valid posts Cruis-In? ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Uh-Oh, there goes my insurance rates! Welcome Back BMJ! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

That's good Sho! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Ok Insurgents, Let's get it straight. That little Starstation down in Antis is known as "Spectre HQ." If you are assigned to it, Let's call her by her proper name. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

And who says "Uncle Rattler" can't be discrete? Yep, was wondering who would be the first person to pick up on that little gem. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Can somebody tell me that the Diamond S540 is even capable of running in 3dfx mode? Maybe that's the problem all along? I personally have no knowledge ot this card but I do own a Monster Fusion that operates on the correct chipset to run 3dfx. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Nope, it's still not right! Repeat after me..... Commodore Wold ICV-Drakr, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commanding Officer, Spectre HQ Spectre Fleet Mine's been wrong as well. In the manual it's defined as Spectre HQ. Unless Derek changes it in BCM, it'll remain as Spectre HQ. Gotta fix my signature as well. ;( ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre HQ (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 09-06-2000).]

Thomas, I could be wrong but just in case I'm not, be advised. I think the SC said that All wing members must use the motto of their wing, assigned by their wing leader. If none, they must use the one signed by their Fleet Leader. If he has none, none shall be used by any fleet member. So the statement of allowing your unassigned members of staff to use their own jeopradizes your entire fleet. Again, Be Advised. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Nope Eclipse, The location of your launch base belongs behind Destiny. I'll let you figure out where it is! BTW, Yours is missing it as well Mike! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 09-05-2000).]

That was what I was talking about Derek. I didn't find him either. I think that some out there figure that if they update their profiles in the BB, then they have registered into the new DB. If that's the case, it's re-education time. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

Correct Mike, but the data base should display him for his Fleet Commander to approve him. It doesn't! He's not on the new recruits listeng and he's not on the Fleet List either. Something's not right here. ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104

As an "Ex-Chief turned Chief Warrant Officer" I've seen all of this before! One thing that I can tell you though, all kidding aside, is that a Commanding Officer knows the value of his Chief. Why do you think that The Chief" has better quarters, his own mess, and almost complete autonomy when it comes to handling the troops that work for him? He's not God, but he does not fear to walk on the clouds either! ------------------ Insurgent One, Rattler ICV Necromancer, Spectre (Antis) Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official Tester,Battlecruiser Series [email protected] ICQ 12894104 [This message has been edited by Rattler (edited 09-04-2000).]
