I got that point with the KOTH and bla bla but he said that you can either be good at XTC or horrible in CTF, that's kind of confusing

⢠The idea behind the password is that the people you are playing with at least have a certain amount of skills in any game.
⢠Because someone who can do a decent combo (7 xtc) can still be a horrible CTF player and viceversa..
ok I can follow you in the first point
same to second
but the third one is kind of confusing.. aren't you only getting tested in XTCs?
how can you judge about their CTF skill then or did I get it wrong? :roll:

What if someone on the list (who's no tester, and is not aloud to spread the pw) spreads the pw?In the beginning you would have got an permanent ban from chapter 3, but I don't like to use this forum to oppress people and it seemed it wouldn't stop people from telling. So there are no measures anymore. There are already some/many people that actually know this password because of someone spreading, which proves that another password like t or d is doomed to fail. We simply cannot control that, but we can control a list. However I do think that some testers too often forget to report failed or passed tests. So if you did pass this test and you are not on this list within 3 days, please PM me about who tested you, so I can verify and put you on the list.

Ppl who started a few months ago, or ppl that we (community?) dont know.If we would have given the password to everyone that already knew the old propassword back in 2010, then there would be no real use of a new password, other than a few new players being kept out. The issue was that some/many of us were annoyed by the lack of skills of certain players that already played in the proservers, especially when playing some serious games. These players skills did not really improve either, because they already obtained the password and there was no real reason to get better. That's why we came up with some requirements, so if you are playing in such a server you won't get annoyed by bad players anymore and the players that were not good enough yet, started to improve their skills in order to be able to play in these servers. And I think as an old player you can contribute to that by setting aside your ego and respect this test and show that you are able to pass this test. But there still is an exception rule that allows the testing team to give the password without test to old players that would obviously pass the test, but that is something we agreed on as a team, it's not my personal preference.
For me i have the best games with ppl that i know since a few years. And i gues you too. Or not? If that new guys want to get an step higher, the test is ok.
But not for the old active suckers please.
