Hey everyone!

I have recently installed Linux and since UT99 runs just fine natively 
on my box, I decided to play some again.

Now I have 2 major problems:

a) I used to be a mid-level skilled player, at least good enough to be 
able to judge whether someone was playing fair or using an aimbot at 
most times

Now I am kind of frustrated at how fast I eat a headshot or direct 
killing hit, and since I have been so out of touch with the game I 
rather quit the server than suspect anyone of aimbotting. So my question 
related to this is: How far spread is the use of aimbots on UT99 servers 
nowadays and if it is a bad problem, is there any server list out there 
of servers that have the better anti-aimbot mods active?

b) I have seen some interesting and challenging "new" mods, such as Dr. 
Strangelove (though that's sort of driving me crazy after 5 minutes of 
screaming), Bunnytrack (though many maps are insanely hard, there seems 
to be hardly anything for "beginners" to train on with less frustration) 
and mainly Jailbreak(!). I really enjoyed Jailbreak when I saw it, but 
sadly it seems to be the least wide spread. So does anyone know some 
good jailbreak servers? And would you share them?

Then apart from these two problems I have some minor ones, such as:

- what do people enjoy in stuff like Monsterhunt? I mean - In UT2003 and 
higher it was kinda fun, but then the waves were sort of... well - you 
could count the mobs in your field of view most of the time, you only 
had one live (and could save the round and get everyone back to live) 
and the waves were doable with a normal life. But the UT99 version seems 
to be nearly infinite health & ammo and about as many monsters, where 
it's just lame spamming of ammo into them... Zero skills at all...

- why did someone try to "improve" such a perfect game mod as instagib? 
that combo-shot addition to instagib is about the lamest stuff ever. 
Either I want precision gibs, then I play instagib, or I want blast 
radius, then I play rocket arena. Labeling that other mod with 
"Instagib" just sucks

- what gayness rode some asses to NOT label their servers as passworded 
for the server selection, and then demand a password *AFTER* you have 
downloaded all the mods and maps they are currently using and then 
connected to the server only to be kicked again? That is not only sheer 
gayness, it is also dumb as shit, since the downloads of people that 
can't join will slow the server down or at least waste bandwidth 
somewhere. Plus it pisses people off...

Some changes for the better, some for the worse, as is normal over 
time... Comments welcome! Oh - and I don't really mind people playing 
monsterhunt, it just seems so... boring...

Yo!
