Hi Everybody! I am happy to announce the latest update to OBEY! I've been working hard to get this game to a nice polished state. Here are some notable changes that have been added:

Voting!

In this update, a voting feature has been added. You can now initiate a VOTE for a number of things: * /voteRankingOff start vote to not rank the current match (this is so you can screw around on a ranked server without messing with your ranking, if you want) * /voteCycle start vote to cycle map * /voteCycle start vote to cycle to a specific map * /voteKick start vote to kick a player * /voteBan start vote to ban a player NOTE: these are all subject to permissions on the server, so a server admin can choose to allow or disallow these. See the playersCanVoteKickBan server setting in the serverSettings.txt.

Vote for stuff!

Friends-only Leaderboards!

Another feature that has also been added is friends-only leaderboards. So if you want, you can just compete against people you know! To switch between global/friends-only leaderboard just click the little globe icon next to the stats menu.

Toggle Friends-Only!

More Achievements!

Besides fixing a slew of tiny little map bugs and seams (maybe call me a perfectionist, but I didn't want ANY seams AT ALL in the maps!) bunnywink ... I also added some very fun achievements. 38 to be exact! For a total of 88 achievements!!! Of course the most obvious lacking one being the 'Scumbag!' achievement. Because all players deserve a prize for stealing their fellow bunnies' hard earned autopay.

- word! Enjoy! ^ _ ^ -Dez As always, here is the full changelist:

v 1.02r2

* added main menu leaderboard toggle for global or friends only leaderboard * added mods that log in are now stored to mods.txt so they don't have to log in again to the server * added /voteRankingOff command to start vote to not rank the current match * added /voteCycle command to start vote to cycle map * added /voteCycle command to cycle to a specific map * added /voteKick command to start vote to kick a player * added /voteBan command to start vote to ban a player * added up/down arrow keys vote yes/no on the current vote * added /vote command to vote on the current vote * added server setting "playersCanVoteKickBan" that can control what types of voting are allowed * added vote commands to ? chat help popup * added bunnies make a splash sound if they hop in the water * added a sound when the chat log updates * added option to allow tournaments to run daily * added "maxBans" server setting, that allows you to block players banned from other servers * added "maxTrolls" server setting, that allows you to block players marked as trolls on other servers * added 38 MORE ACHIEVEMENTS! (Total: 88) * added laser sentries to tributary, ozone, minerals, and cornered * changed AI is less likely to try to crash ship if it's too late * changed fires can no longer start in (low) water * changed Laser Wall City achievement given to all who participated in placing walls * fixed bug where tutorial text could appear off screen if Windows had zooming on * fixed bug where waterfall sound effects would not play * fixed server bug where it would still try to authenticate as a ranked server even without a key * fixed collider trigger on the score preview that could be broken if the player list was short * fixed numerous minor geometry seams in the tile set * updated translations, minor fixes to translated text displays * cut Bosnian language

OBEY is a highly asymmetrical multiplayer game.

We've all played games where you send commands to AI units or teammates.
OBEY instead puts you in the position to command your enemies (human opponents), and to be commanded by them. Players are always free to obey/disobey. It is always up to players to deal with the consequences of their decisions in the game.

You win by bribing and coercing your opponents to do things against their own self interest (and in your interest).
If you are being coerced you have only stealth, intelligence, trickery, and creativity to escape.

OBEY is sort of like Counter Strike Jailbreak Mod meets Spy Party.
OBEY's social aspects have also been compared to Trouble in Terrorist Town and Town of Salem.

To win, make more money than any one else by the end of the round.
To make the most money, take command of the giant robot (the robot player makes 10x more than the other players per second)
You take control of it by walking into a door at the base of the robot.
The player in the robot can easily destroy any player he sees trying to approach (IF he sees them).
That’s the basics – so superficially, it plays like ‘king of the hill’.

However...
Experienced robot players will know that it is not always in their interest to simply kill approaching players.
Why not? Because he can instead coerce them to do what he wants.
and that’s where the game gets interesting…

NOTES ABOUT GAMEPLAY:

When playing as robo... you are free to shoot everything that moves (and this might even work against friends or new players), but if you just use this against experienced players you will get subverted, and you will lose. You want your opponents controlled, not hidden and out to subvert you...
When playing as a bunny... trying to constantly subvert in the face of an experienced robo is a terrible idea: you will spend most of your game waiting to spawn. OBEY rewards using TRICKERY, STEALTH, and INTELLIGENCE. OBEY does not reward constant blind 'guns blazing' rushing to the robot. (But what did you expect? you are a baby bunny .vs an enormous mecha-canon-turret).
REMEMBER: You will be playing against other human beings - they can not be fooled as easily as AI!
