Friends, Ren X players, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Commander, not to FIX him. The evil that Commanders do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with commanders. By William Shakespeare (from Julius Caesar, spoken by Marc Antony) Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest– For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men– Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me. While i tend to agree with many critics of commander, I point to the opportunity the game has to give these powers to the player. #1. Harvester control. Make this a vote.

What does the fact that no one wants to command say? It's no fun. Now I know for some people it is a lot of fun, and having a good commander can be a LOT of fun. I even imagine that someday i might learn enough to enjoy that role. But, for the vast majority of players it is simply not the game that they want to play. I seriously think we should give more consideration to turning Commander functions over to the players. The harvester is the first and obvious role that players could manage. I also believe many if not all of the commander functions could be turned over to the players. Why not give all of us more roles to play? I can accept that the commander functions further the action towards a resolution of the match. But the lack of wiling and able commanders negates this for many games. I would like to see the players with more abilities, and less dependence on a commander.

I would like to start recording but idk the first thing. Whats a good start?

I have had limited success connecting to the official N.A. server lately. Yesterday and today. my success rate is only 1/5. I can join other server readily.... gl w Destroy It NOw! the ddos.... ? Edit: make that 2/6 now

And i suppose this is kinda off the thread but..... I have been Really enjoying the Netflix show Forest of Piano.

I will probably quit the first time this occurs.... And i have been known to switch teams to help balance up to 3 times in a game. ...

mark me disturbed but i cant turn it off. . ... . . .

I have always felt the core concept that makes the game great, is the feeling that each new game is a fresh and equal opportunity to raise hell. So go ahead and mix it up. But dont yank me during the match. REWARD me for being a good sport when i switch to balance.

It would be the beginning of the end. its just too much. It would completely destroy my imagination of being on the Renegade battlefield and allow dominant personalities to take priority over teamwork. It would neuter all our efforts to build communications that use other methods. (The radio and the Q spotting are great tools.) Easier is not always better.

Lately i have been curious if there is a listing of ALL the people who have officially been a part of making this possible. .. ?

And in a departure from previous episodes.... I bring you... BLOOD ROCK! This comes to you from my distant memories.... way.. way... ~~~~~~ back it time~~~~~ i was raised by very strict christian parents. Access denied to most common forms of music and expression. Flashback to school field trip to some generic science museum..... Lunch time finds me with school mates and of all things a jukebox. One of the kids puts this on.... and it FRIED my mind.. i don't remember much but the sirens and the FEELING of death and dismemberment. Although lately in the game i listen to Baroque music.. oddly enough.... hmm.

Non profits are allowed to pay employees and to raise funds ~ Because a non profit benefits the public and not share holders. In my state a non profit only needs 3 people and a charter, and 50$ to the state to file.

Would the formation of a Renegade X non-profit, as a legally recognized non-profit, respect the agreement with EA games?

Engineers Are Teamwork. Engineers ARE cooperation.

I was kind to myself and i got new speakers for my pc. Bose. I have known their quality for decades and i am happy to find these speakers are sound studio quality. It is sooooooooo .. very nice to hear the midrange solidly agian ~ instead of just high end and low end. Pardon my gushing. Included in my testing: This song is in my Top 100. This video does it justice... amazing stuff in my book. And this iis from my top 10. I was looking for an actual Keith Jarret version .. but this one is pretty good too...

ah... yes.. I mean that in the game the mechanic would be enabled so that we players could vote to allow or not the beacon option. Thanks for allowing me to clarify!

Some early mashups i made ... a long time back. I had a lot of fun making them.

Sorry to repeat myself but.... Could this be decided by simply allowing players to vote on it?

Nice! The Engineers meeting was superlative. What a great group of people to know. I am almost drunk on the comraderie. I will admit to enjoying the conversation of snipers... sometimes i learn a few things, but they are a weird bunch. And OFC, every tanker BBQ is like family. After all, i spend a lot of time supporting them, and the good ones appreciate the effort. . .... but engineers..... they are a interesting bunch. .. and their gatherings are a delight... So many intricately delicious foods, complex games and .....So many great stories of teamwork and perseverance. I am thankful to be counted among their number. To get here was not easy. But luck was with me when i found a mentor who recommended me. REP # 87 spoke up for me. After passing inspection and testing i was given the honorific of being REP # 100. Apparently there is great importance in that number. REP # 3 has given me tacit approval to recommend players for the group. The code 124816 allowed me to access the REP database. REP, btw is short for: RenegadeX Engineers Program. I was talking with REP # 52 who had clearly spent much time on the battlefield. I listened as one after another the stories were spectacular in drama, detail and in importance. Between musical entertainments our talk turned to engineering. One person stated that the Great3st! of all Engineers! was a gent who saved his base from utter destruction. Another engineer swore that the repair work she did with the injured was critical to her team's survival. After much talk we were deep in our drinks and i ventured my opinion. I stated my greatest engineering efforts lay in supporting the front lines as they fought. Cmon! i argued. They need it the most. Keep the tip of the spear sharp! At first i thought i would find argument and debate worthy of engineers. But shockingly they feel silent. In their faces i saw the tale. Many of them had enjoyed and suffered in support of the front lines... To those who Lead! I shouted. To those who Lead! came the response. As one we lifted our glasses and drank a quiet toast to our team, and to our fellow engineers and the teams we support, be they GDI or NOD. As the celebration wound down, i wondered. I wondered if there are any more engineers out there who find glory in support, fun in front line action, and value in defensive mining....... ...

Follow me! you stupid bot... cmon...over here......

well.. it isnt really big band but it has the right attitude..... A selection from my top 100 Hits from my life. This one because it so infectious.

Every once in a while i have to have my fix of jelly. I once made a Jelly Roll channel on Pandora, but i found that was too much of a good thing. Thanks for the dose.

Being able to use Q spotting is great stuff I find many of the location names to be intuitive. I can mostly guess where that is. . But i would find it helpful if the Big Map had some of these locations noted on them. I could learn them while chillin and waitin for start or check it during game if I am not sure. Thoughts?

Would it be possible to hear a bell or sound effect when a commander vote is initiated? Sometimes i am in the thick of battle, and even tho the writing is RIGHT THERE CENTER, i almost miss it or do miss it. Pavlov knew what he was doing.... ring the bell!

LOL. that video had a few laughs for me in it. I would Definitely go to the Furry Pound server. lol.
