Title: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: Gerbil on October 27, 2008, 10:00:33 PM The server is down. :(
I heard that alma is just moving the server, and it will be back up soon. If we can get a confirmation of this that would be great. I as well as many others miss it! :D :D However there is still /oaN/ctf for NA players(just turn on auto download), which is using the battle mod. Title: Re: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: sittingduck on November 17, 2008, 12:57:34 PM I just put up a new West Coast server (Seattle, WA)

To avoid confusion type /connect 70.32.42.212:27960 Title: Re: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: Falkland on August 18, 2009, 02:56:08 PM Some of you NA players might notice other servers using the Nemesis name. To avoid confusion type /connect 70.32.42.212:27960 the other servers seem all fake ... the servers' responses seem artifacts since they show less players listed than how many they should be. The addresses of the fake servers are 2 : 76.105.123.249 Code: Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. JUMPSTART-5 (NET-76-96-0-0-1) 76.96.0.0 - 76.127.255.255 Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. ATLANTA-CPE-16 (NET-76-105-64-0-1) 76.105.64.0 - 76.105.127.255 75.138.78.87 Code: Charter Communications NETBLK-CHARTER-NET (NET-75-128-0-0-1) 75.128.0.0 - 75.143.255.255 Charter Communications NWN-GA-75-138-64 (NET-75-138-64-0-1) 75.138.64.0 - 75.138.79.255 U should not try to connect to those servers unless u'd know what u are doing. Title: Re: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: Falkland on August 18, 2009, 04:37:00 PM More infos : every single query produces a different result on every server with a random number of fake players with fake pings, score but with almost the same nicks.
It's probably an application or an engine modification ( it sends this version string ioq3+oa 1.35 linux-i386 Aug 13 2009 ) that sends fake heartbeats to the master server and fake responses to the queries but with coerent data ( with the exception of the effective number of players and the gametype which is set to N and the map set for all as oa_ctf2 ) Title: Re: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: fromhell on August 19, 2009, 01:56:42 AM Argh I really hate servers that self-promote themselves too much with fakers. Good thing the humans only option is there to cut through the faux-popularity cheese.

Good thing the humans only option is there to cut through the faux-popularity cheese. Indeed, but humans only should be set to default. Not that one couldn't fake that one, too.

Good thing the humans only option is there to cut through the faux-popularity cheese. The human only option works on players with zero ping , so since the fake players have not a zero ping in this case , they are listed and reported ... but u've missed the main point here ... those seem to not be regular servers , but an application/engine modification that sends a correct enough heartbeat and answers with random responses to client queries ... Every single status query made by a client , produces a different result. Title: Re: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: alma on August 19, 2009, 08:48:23 AM I am in no way associated with those servers. That is the reason I posted before so that my regulars would know which server is mine.
Title: Re: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: alma on August 19, 2009, 08:58:04 AM fromhell, I started Nemesis since summer of 2008. I have never promoted my server on the OA forums. I know that you know ips. My account here is very recent. I already have a good player base and thanks to those players, Nemesis is always alive. The one who is creating those servers is someone that I have banned. I have no need to promote Nemesis via fake servers.
Title: Re: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: Falkland on August 20, 2009, 11:47:04 AM The guy uses dynamic IP because one of the fake servers' address has changed but it's still in the ComCast range : 24.126.166.137
Code: OrgName: Comcast Cable Communications Holdings, Inc OrgID: CCCH-3 Address: 1800 Bishops Gate Blvd City: Mt Laurel StateProv: NJ PostalCode: 08054 Country: US NetRange: 24.126.0.0 - 24.127.255.255 ...

Good thing the humans only option is there to cut through the faux-popularity cheese. the fake servers are hurting the original servers player base if anything, people are getting frustrated being unable to join their regular server, and will go join another.Title: Re: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: ToasT on August 20, 2009, 06:23:49 PM Alma ,
I truly appreciate that you go through the trouble (& $) to provide the communitiy with this server. I would like to say thank you. Things like this make me worry as much about human kind as it does the Open Arena Community! I hope this gets resolved very soon. Peace, ToasT Title: Re: Nemesis 0.7.1 Post by: Falkland on August 25, 2009, 11:28:57 AM I think I've found the tool/PoC the guy used for causing this issue : if sago007 or any other dev is interested , I can send infos via PM.
