How is that handicap mod coming?

Someone said they might try to make a mod where everyone gets about the same
amout of frags.

Maybe something that autoadjusts the handicap?

We really could use it.

Couldn't you abuse it by "playing dumb" for the first half of the match
to give you an advantage, then "turning on the gas" and cleaning up in
the 2nd half?

Actually, that could be fun, rather than annoying. Like fuel strategies
in Formula 1, you could choose the pacing of your game, and the best time
to "kick in" with the skills for the most points

I said that.

Sure, but not during the game itself. Once you win a game, you get an
extra handicap, and if you loose, your handicap is reduced. Or something
like that, haven't thought of it for a while. Yesterday I came back from
a hichhiking contest to the island of Elba, Italy (you know, where
Napoleon was banned to), and I slept for about 18 hours.

I have no idea how to mod this stuff. Can you store a handicap value for
the next time you play (with game code)?

Do you get an .ini for mod stuff? It would be nice if it remembered from
session to session.

Oh yeah, and how was the hichhiking? Sounds like an invite for trouble to
me.

Yep.

If you want, yes. Take a look at the MonsterMadness code, for example.

Great! Check out the pictures ;-)

Where are you from? It's a whole different thing here in Europe,
compared to Africa or the USA.

That is, until the Europeans start going bonkers (like most Western
cultures) and start butchering helpless hitchhikers too. ;-)

That won't happen anytime soon. The traffic is much more dense in
Europe, and cities are much closer to each other. The chances that you
will be completely alone (as alone as you can get in the USA) are very
small. Besides that, we always hichhike in couples.
