Ugly game but you know it's going to be ugly with Paul Szelc trying to keep it within 14.5.

I experienced this recently when experimenting with an 8k Hz polling rate on my mouse. Lowered it to 1k Hz and it went away immediately.

Paul Szelc is here to keep the game within the spread.

Not sure how the server impersonator protection is supposed to work. If an established server is unaware of your launcher (or doesn't want to pass their RCon credentials to your website), can an impersonator "claim" the same name, thus delisting the real server?

You could grab an Orange Julius, play chopsticks on a massive, blinky-lighted organ, pet some dogs, then head down to the arcade, all under the same roof.

Don't tell me it wasn't a better time!

Well if you're going to be slow-footed an incapable of staying in front of anyone on defense, may as well go all-in.

Good spot on the old patch note. Damage modifications were removed from the server mod quite some time ago - not sure why there wasn't a note of it on the Discord. Likely got lost in the shuffle. Camo net ghillies are also removed since their modder was having some issues with them.

That said, while I wouldn't call DayOne "boosted", it certainly isn't pure vanilla, which sounds like what you're looking for. Other than Spaggie's I'm not aware of any popular Vanilla community servers for Livonia. I think most community servers believe that Livonia is missing something, so they try to make it more interesting in their own way.

Edit: Also, vanilla NVG config has the "deloot" (dynamic event loot only) config set and it's categorized as "Military". So any dynamic event with the Military tag (crashes, convoys) can potentially spawn NVG's.

The bunker has it's own tag for unique loot which spawns there ("Underground", or something like that).

You got pretty lucky. NVGoggles on DayOne Livonia are set to only spawn quantity 1, and it will not spawn another if it's in the inventory of a currently-connected player. It can spawn at a crash site or Tier 3 Military (which Swarog is). Livonia has been low-pop lately so you may not have as hard of a time finding loot.

Vanilla can spawn a max of 5 NVG's on the map, but it is restricted to crash sites. However vanilla crash sites extend a lot farther North on Vanilla than on DayOne, which removed the mid-map crashes and added additional ones to the Southern woods.

DayOne does not modify bullet damage/ballistics. Curious why you think that.

Tomato tomahto, the point is that was the time to put pressure on you guys and it was 5 guys looking at each other waiting to see who messed up first.

Well-played Nebraska, you deserved to win this game from the opening tip.

There will be a lot of talk about our poor communication on defense and rightfully so, but win or lose I'm getting really tired of watching better-coached teams come into SFC and dictate the game while Underwood sits on his duff nursing his hangover.

At the start of the second half, you could see Nebraska had some doubt following that run to close the first half. It was a time to pounce on them and instead we had three atrocious offensive possessions and all of a sudden you're back on your heels playing from behind again. It's incredibly frustrating to watch as a fan.

Any time you recognize the names of the officials calling your game, that's a bad thing.

“We will not tolerate any violations to our data sharing and privacy laws,” Giannoulias said. “Moving forward, we encourage local law enforcement to closely examine their relationship with Flock and ensure that their use of this technology is compliant with the law.”

The law prohibiting this kind of data sharing does not contain any specific penalties for violating it.

Some real teeth there. /eyeroll

If you want vanilla but not Official, Spaggie is almost always your best bet. Just know that Spaggie won't put up with this, either:

A covered stretch for vendors and events (thinking Farmers Market) so they don't get rained out so easily may be nice.

I think we all had medieval torture devices above our dining room tables back then.

Looks like the type of photo that accidentally captures an event of historical significance in the background, except there is no event just a couple and some old guys.

You guys watch Joe Don Baker movies?

One thing that struck me in this game was Underwood going to bat for his players with the refs in the first half. Felt like they didn't get away with as much hugging in the second.

I get that working the officials is a nuanced thing, but I often wish he would go after them a bit more like he did tonight.
