germany also has a bad past. just remember "The 3rd Reich" and adolf hitler. this damn son of a bitch. many foreigners think that all germans are like him. of course there are still some stupid people, but fortunately only a few.

I would like to learn a lot of languages (20 or so?)

and how long do you you will live?
try to learn russian and german and you'll have enough work.

In finland you have to learn many languages if you plan to graduate from upper high school. Normally at age 11, you start learning english, at age 13 you have to start swedish. Most I guess start fourth language when they turn 14. If you aren't too good in math and you study in upper high school, you pick yet another language. So there are lots of ppl talking at least 5 languages. The most common ones are:
finnish (compulsory)
english (compulsory)
swedish (compulsory)
german
french

I only studied 4 first since I loved math. Aber ich habe noch viel vergessen. Finnish is btw considered very difficult language to learn. It has no articles like in english or german. Example:
school = koulu
to school = kouluun
from school = koulusta
in school = koulussa
also words are joined in many cases (compounds):
school book = koulukirja
The words can get pretty long since (like in german) it has compounds. Longest one discovered yet is 103 letters long word... I know german has longer.

hm... tell me one german word that is longer than 103 letters. (tell me one that IS 103 letters...)

As far as I know, the longest word in german language is:

Antialkoholkongressmitgliederverzeichnissesdruckkostenvorausschlagprüfungskommitteesmitgliederversammlungseinladungkarte

I havent counted the letters, but im sure its more than 100. And it's real word too

um, and please tell the non-literate what it means?

I havent got a clue. But I believe the germans here can enlighten us

hmm...
i'll try. i'm not sure wether it will be correct
"Antialkoholkongressmitgliederverzeichniss"
means "anti-alcoholic-congress-member-database" (not sure wether the word "congress exists in english )
"druckkosten" - printing prices
"vorausschlagprüfungskommittees" sorry i can't translate that
"mitgliederversammlungseinladungkarte" - general meeting invitation

hope i helped you

btw: it's the first time i read this word...

In my eyes that word is just a putting together of some nouns... Never have seen a word like this in any book or somewhere else. But it's funny

also im duden stehts jedenfalls nicht!
the lord is right. if you just put togher german nouns you can create wors with +200 letters.

But that is a correctly built word. And the longest german word or so it said in where I dig it up.

Please send it to me. I'm curious.

If you mean this demo, it happened in our server:

I thank you.

Perhaps someone should tell our misguided friend that "getting big" is not cheating and that it is rather one of the powerups in the map.

anything odd come up in the server logs?

I couldn't run that demo. It crashes the game every time I try.

rhoedd, try some of the instructions in this thread and in this download:
running demos
if it still doesnt work then page me about it next time i see you in arena...

Download patch 1.07 if not already done it. Then join swedengames.net server and download the stuff that you havent. Then you should be able to run the demo. Often those crashes are related to missing package.

And our logging doesnt work im afraid. Nothing is written to em, dunno why. have chmoded it to 777 when 755 didnt work etc. And if you have someone that is great in coding a counter to cheatings and is willing to do so, I have material that might help.
