Update (Again)

28 05 2008

Yes. Another update. (Isn’t it exciting?) Actually, two updates. Firstly, we have updated the Lazor syntax, which is very important. Here it is:

[Lazor-V|e|Squadron-V]Name[S|FL|RL|D|C|A]

Cryptic? Well, here’s the key.

Purple: Position (This is where the position for a squadron or corps goes

Orange: Elite squadron (Put this before your previous squadron if you are part of an elite squadron)

Green: Squadron (This is where your squadron or past squadron goes)

Red: Name (This is your Teeworlds username, i.e. “Jon”)

Cyan: Corps (S is spy, F is fighter, R is racer, D is designer, C is cartographer, and A is Allied Leader)

By the way, my name is now [e|Lazor-Leader]Jon[SL|A] 

Additionally, the clanwar mentioned below has been cancelled. Have a nice day!

OMGZ! OMGZ! Major Updates!

12 05 2008

No, the Lazor Blog is not dead. We were just hibernating. During this stage, many new changes occurred, which I will write about in this post.

  1. First of all, we have changed the way people can join. One can now join Lazor without submitting an application. I made this decision for two reasons. First of all, more than 50% percent of Teeworlds players are German, so filling out an entire form in English could be quite challenging for many. Another reason I did this was because many players are just casual gamers, and do not want to go through all the effort of writing an application if they might not use their privileges at all. However, there is a cache to this rule. A Lazor cannot join a squadron unless they apply. The difference between being a [Lazor] and a [Lazor][Eagle], say, is that the latter receives a newsletter, has access to the LazorDB, can join the racer or fighter corps or become a designer or cartographer. Squadron members can also participate in clanwars depending on their skills. It’s like a demo and a full version of an application, except you don’t get constant notifications and you don’t have to pay.
  2. Another important bit of news is that we finally have a server. Yes, you heard me. A SERVER!!!! The server, called Lazor Clan Server, has a new map called Terraces and is partly instantgib. Big thanks to Grégoire Passault for hosting the server. Another new Lazor, Dragon647, plans on creating a training server that is only open to squadron members. But while you wait, come on over to The “Lazor Clan Server” and have fun! Our third clanwar will be held on this server on Sunday, 4:00, American EST, so Lazors, let’s get ready to rumble!!!!
  3. Finally, Lazor has created the Lazor Allies, a group of other clans who have essentially merged with us but still recruit and govern themselves separately. However, people from the BRZ, and Blackwhite Clans, our allies, can fight in clanwars and become part of our racer or fighter corps or become a designer or cartographer. Actually, the leader of the Blackwhite clan, Shaggy®, now presides over the racing corps. Give him a hand! If you are a clanleader who is interested in becoming a Lazor-ally, just notify us at b14ckm4g3 |AT| comcast |DOT| net, and simply add [Lazor-A] to you and all of your clan-members names.

Thank you, everybody, for reading this, and I hope this clarified things more.

By the way, the post below was an April Fool’s Joke.





New game!!!

22 03 2008

Yes! Teewars Version o.4 is finally out! Head on over to the official site to download it! Now called “Teeworlds,” the new version is jam-packed with amazing updates! There are new graphics, a new, convenient interface, and even a new weapon! The Teeworlds team also promises that it will be easier for map makers. *Pokes Y3K* However, versions are not compatible with each other. That is why it is imperative that you download the latest edition of the game so that we can all be on the same page. Thanks!

More New Stuff!

18 03 2008

We have two new things here today. Firstly, we have the LazorDB. This is a place where confidential Lazor data is stored, and it is protected by an alphanumeric password (take THAT, hackers!) As of yet, we have no data to put up there, but we plan to create a few Lazor-only skins that will be mandatory for all team-members to use. We will also eventually post classified squadron data there. However, the website is currently hard to reach, for it is hosted on mac.com (yes, I am a Mac fan) which has extremely long web names. How are we going to get to it then?


The LINKS Section of course! On this section, which is open for all people visiting the site, there are links to Lazor and Teewars-related sites. Click the link to go to the page (duh) and mouse over it for some time to get a description. Currently we have only two URLs: the teewars website and the LazorDB, but we hope to find more. If you see any other cool Teewars sites, just email us! We will be very glad to have other users contributing. By the way, did you remember to submit your email? You will not have access to our database if you do not.

Facelift!

16 03 2008

Yep! We have a facelift. Sunburn by Jim Whimpey, the previous style, was inconvenient and unwieldy. I hope that this site will be a lot easier to use now that we’ve modified it. There are three major changes. Most importantly, we have created a pages bar at the top of the screen that allows you to locate the three major parts of our website. We have also changed the look and feel of our site. Not only is it more “web 2.0,” but it has a crisp, clean feeling that the older site lacked. Finally, the introduction of a new theme has taken away our problems with misaligned comment area. On an unrelated note, I have created a database, and it should be up soon. Have a nice day!

14 03 2008

Hello, and welcome to the homepage of the Lazor Teewars team! This page is open for everyone to view, but if you become a Lazor member you can get more information. In the next few months, we hope to register our team at the Official Teewars Website, draft up a team logo, and even make a newsletter! We’ll also make a sign up form soon so you can join us. There’s a lot of good things to come, and thanks for hanging in there!
