| 01:45.22 | mtnbkr | Hi everyone... playing a rabbit game with some friends and we noticed that if you are the rabbit, you can just pause, and shake the rabbit flag... Wondering if this (cheat) can be prevented by disabling pausing or by some other method? thanks |

| 01:49.29 | BulletCatcher | mtnbkr: Do you mean that someone else becomes the rabbit when the rabbit pauses? |
| 01:49.31 | BulletCatcher | If so, that is intentional to keep the game moving. |
| 01:49.31 | blast007 | well.. I'd say it's not a cheat... you *want* to be the rabbit |
| 01:49.47 | mtnbkr | hi blast007 |
| 01:50.28 | mtnbkr | I see... I guess we are looking at it from the wrong perspective... one of anxiety and fear... lol |
| 01:51.01 | mtnbkr | being rabbit is good then? as in for scoring benefits and winning of the game |
| 01:51.05 | blast007 | the majority of points for a player on a rabbit chase server are earned as a rabbit |

| 01:51.31 | mtnbkr | we have recently switched our free-for-all mode to rabbit so there is some confusion I am sure. :) |
| 01:53.48 | BulletCatcher | It may help to think of a BZFlag rabbit as the deadly one in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." :-) |
| 01:53.57 | mtnbkr | BulletCatcher: LOL! |
| 01:54.09 | mtnbkr | "with sharp... pointy... teeeth" |
| 01:54.15 | BulletCatcher | exactly |
| 01:55.30 | mtnbkr | yeah, I guess without considering the scoring and winning of agame, being the rabbit was viewed as the opposite... more like "running scared" because everyone is after you.. so... Monty Python Rabbit mode it is.. :) |
| 01:56.50 | BulletCatcher | If you, as a hunter, kill the rabbit your reward is to become the rabbit so you can earn more points. |
| 01:57.28 | blast007 | sometimes |
| 01:57.30 | mtnbkr | BulletCatcher: unless of course like us, the game is set rabbit random.. ;) |
| 01:57.43 | blast007 | there are three rabbit selection modes: killer, score, and random |
| 01:58.04 | blast007 | the killer method is probably the most common (where the killer of the rabbit becomes the rabbit) |
| 01:58.06 | mtnbkr | so killer mode sounds like what BulletCatcher is referring to... |
| 01:58.22 | BulletCatcher | Yes. I forgot about the other modes. |
| 01:58.55 | mtnbkr | OK, this gives me some insight and ideas to make some changes to our games. Thansk guys. |
| 01:59.14 | BulletCatcher | Have fun! |
| 02:03.43 | mtnbkr | thanks! |
| 02:04.49 | mtnbkr | if you're (really) bored pop in bzflag.revpol.com:55555 nothing really special going on... |

| 02:37.12 | allejo | does the plugin http api allow a bzfs instance to accept post requests? |
| 02:51.42 | blast007 | allejo: it looks like it has code to handle POST requests, so maybe - not sure if that's been tested in 2.0/2.4 |

| 03:08.22 | allejo | if it's been tested in 2.0/2.4? meaning it was a backport or it's been around since 1.7? |
| 03:30.12 | blast007 | meaning I'm not sure if there's been a plugin that has used that functionality yet |
| 03:30.20 | blast007 | there's not many HTTP plugins |
| 03:34.09 | allejo | ah fair enough |
| 03:34.13 | allejo | well time to make more |

| 21:16.11 | Patlabor221 | BulletCatcher: the GL part isn't the trick, it's the networking. |
| 21:22.34 | BulletCatcher | Good point. |
| 21:22.36 | BulletCatcher | Browsers wisely don't provide general-purpose networking primitives to JavaScript code. |
| 21:32.29 | Patlabor221 | yeah it's a HUGE security flaw |
| 21:32.49 | Patlabor221 | there are ways to get a socket connection but the user has to install a plug-in usualy |
| 21:33.02 | Patlabor221 | it's ether that or do all your networking over HTTPS with json |
| 21:33.05 | Patlabor221 | not super fast |
