Some clown using the handle "Fathom" on 66.28.71.29 had the ability to wait in the water until an opponent entered, then discharge and kill the opponent without killing himself. (yeah, there were pents on the map, but pents only last 30 seconds and respawn every five minutes - he could do this all the time) He could also discharge and zap someone who was nowhere near the water, again without killing himself. Anybody know what the deal is? What I really love is the idea that these idiots think anyone's buying that it's "skillz" that let them move so fast, jump so far, etc. etc. Unfortunately, the history of Quake is a history of lowlifes looking for bugs and holes they can exploit. From the so-called "rocket jump" to "bunny-hopping" and proxies, there's simply no such thing as too much advantage for some players. What's truly rich is when one of them then gripes at the lack of "challenge" to the game. Well, gee, doofus - if you want a challenge, try playing without cheating. What an idea, huh? -Joe
