Currently we have a multitude of Spartans who have already purchased and are actively playing the standalone alpha!

To name a few:

Scriv
Lambourne
Taz
Phoenix
wobbly
viper
McGuirk
Iwazzio

Sorry if I forgot you in this list.  I know we had a total of seven Spartans playing on the first night alone!

If you haven't yet purchased it, definitely check it out.

I have discovered that you are able to use BBcode for URLs.  Here is the code:

[url="http://spartanwarfighters.com/xoops/"]text for link here[/url]

It would seem that more BBcode than originally anticipated works on this site.  Hmmm, Taz were you just trying to throw us off?

Let me try another bit of BBcode:

Uhhh yeah.  There's apparently no need to use the 'insert image' dialog.  BBcode works fine.

Sorry for the double post, but this information warranted its own post.

I logged in today, say my character all geared out with my wepon on the main menu.  I went to switch server (to check and make sure I was on the server we've been playing on -- US 1-12), and joined the game.  Suddenly I was no longer near Vybor, I was on the huge dock in Cherno.... with NOTHING.  Brand new character.  I was mad, but I figured the update had reset things and said 'fuck it, might as well play.'  I ran around looking for loot, eventually got hit by a zombie and started bleeding.  I was running around looking for the hospital when my game crashed.  When I loaded it back up, the main menu still showed my character from before.  SO WHERE DID HE GO?  How do I get him back??  I logged back in to US 1-12, and I was placed NO WHERE NEAR where my game had crashed.

Not sure what's going on here, but there are definitely NEW issues now after the update.  I'm pissed at the moment, but I'm just going to keep playing with a new character and see what happens.

:::::::::Edit::::::::::

Scriv's most recent post in the Standalone Tips thread explains the above issue.  I feel much better now.  It does not explain the issue with not being in the same location as I was when my game crashed (which has happened twice now since the update), however I have not yet tested this after logging out normally.  I will edit this post again once I have logged back in (later tonight).

You can 'subscribe' to a thread by checking the "Notify me of new posts in the current thread" option (located near the bottom of the page in any given thread). 

I've noticed not every thread has this option.  Not sure why.

There is also this same checkbox at the bottom of all the checkboxes under your reply text box when posting to a thread.  Just look under the TinyMCE box to find it, just above the 'attach file' field.  This is also where you will find your 'attach signature' checkbox (which isn't always checked by default I've noticed).

You can also change the notification method just below that (clicking 'change' will take you to your 'edit profile' page and if you scroll down you can choose between 'disable', 'private message', and 'email notification').

I'm partial to pilsners and pale-ales myself... I have never enjoyed stouts.  Rolling Rock is my favorite domestic beer, Sapporo is my favorite import (of those that I have tried so far).

Iwazzio said he found a tent the other night, and had some loot stashed in it for later.  He also said that to return from unconsciousness one needs to be given a saline treatment (using a saline bag and an IV (intravenous) start kit).

What items are needed to rip up a shirt?  Iwazzio also said he hadn't figured this out yet.

The fireman's axe kills zombies in one hit, and once you get the timing down you can easily kill them before they can even take a swipe at you.

Plastic water bottles and canteens can be found (I have found a total of 5 (3 bottles, two canteens) in my "short" travel time from Elektra to Vybor) and both can be refilled at water pumps located in many town areas.  Iwazzio said he was able to fill them in ponds as well, but I have not found the 'sweet spot' to be able to do so.  TO FILL WATER: place the empty water bottle in your hands, get OUT of the inventory screen and scroll-wheel to 'Fill Water' when looking at the aforementioned water pump (or the 'sweet spot' in a pond).  Water purification tablets can also be found, but using them does not change the name of the water bottle in any way (so you don't know whether or not it has worked).

First aid kits can be found; they are a bag within themselves.  They can be opened either on the ground (left side of the inventory screen) or when placed in your character's hands.  If you place it on the ground DO NOT FORGET to put it back in your inventory!!  They take up 4 slots (in a square).

Loot can spawn in some of the wrecked cars scattered around cities and towns -- make sure you check inside and try to open the doors/trunk to search for the loot.  On two occasions a firearm was found in one of the aforementioned lootable cars (both times it was a Mosin rifle -- looks a bit like a Lee Enfield, fires 7.62 ammo).  Certain scopes can easily be attached to certain weapons.  If you drag an item over another item and the thumbnail turns yellow, it means those two items can interact somehow with each other.

Hope this information helps!!!

Well it actually wasn't my first try.  At first I just put a link to an image in the signature line, then realized that just displayed the link in text format.  Then I tried BBcode for the hell of it, and it worked.  Just trial and error.  I definitely can't make an entire site work like this one, but I would be happy to help moderate.  I've been much more active lately, and I see no signs of that changing anytime soon.

Also, I tried to write the tutorial for how to do it, but for some reason (even when using the MCE option), my post kept coming up with all the html code in my main text, so I just scrapped it altogether.  It was late...  :)

I have it, and play it fairly often.  If you like RTS games and you'd like to try it out, hit me up on TS3 whenever you see me on, I have one guest pass left (which will give you two weeks to play the first installment -- Wings of Liberty -- and see if you like the game).  There is one expansion out already (Heart of the Swarm) but you need to buy the original game first for HotS to work.  You can also play some HotS matchmaking games even if you only have Wings of Liberty (WoL) as long as you are in a party with someone that has HotS, but if you do this you will only be able to choose the terran race.  Any person with HotS can roll-back to WoL when in a party with someone who only has WoL, and both players can do matchmaking games and choose any race.  The difference here is that the new units and research abilities from HotS will not be available when playing WoL together.

There's a steep learning curve, but after about 10 matchmaking games you should be in a position where you stand a chance against other players, especially if you have a friend explaining build orders and unit composition to you (that would be me Very Happy).
