Please ignore this post, Sourceforge did a crappier job of submitting to firehose than I thought, I will make a better one.

Sorry, terrible pun I know, but it is true; the only way to fight this sort of thing is to make people more aware of it in the first place, knowledge is power. Personally, I think they're at least trying the right thing. My concern is the automatic filtering of "spam" messages done by some ISP's and mail services (especially gMail), and how it will interfere with the success of something like this.

a) It only matters if the voting margin was within that 2% otherwise it's pretty easy to determine the winner.
b) There is probably a higher rate of error getting humans to transcribe votes, with less of a chance of being picked up.

Think about it.

Kid mode was more about forcing the Paintball mode rather than turning off Blood.

Glad you enjoyed it, I wanted to be a little different in the execution of everything; which included paintball. Basically it is "easy mode" for people who have a harder time playing FPS games, like kids and newbies :)

Hell yeah, we're more than happy to make this the open source FPS that everyone wants. Which I think is what the article poster was talking about; We strive to actually take input from the public and fine tune the game into something everyone wants to play.

You may even want to compare the old "Alpha 2" to the "Beta 1", the gameplay drastically changed in six short months based on player and developer feedback.

Blood Frontier has attracted a few families with children in its development circle. Paintball/Kids mode is (what was supposed to be) an unadvertised feature for them to use in their homes.

Haha, nice. I hated that right up until now. :D

Actually, I'm one of the authors. Softhaus is an over-excited newcomer. Blood Frontier wasn't ready for /.

Getting a little tired of the non-informative posts on Slashdot. I expected to actually learn something, not see someone's random musings on a subject.

What about Sega's Sonic & Knuckles lock-on cart for the Megadrive (Genesis) - that has to be early to mid nineties for sure, and playing as Knuckles in those old Sonic 2 levels was pretty cool for back then.
