Paris Hilton is the mingiest ming ever to have minged.

I do fear for DB's long-term future. I think DavidM hinted the break could be as long as 6 months.

Well TV enjoy your break, and come back ready to improve the best ever mod even further...

One of the few things I really hate about Deathball. It is cheap and utterly skill-less. I'd love to see it banished forever...

Lies! Lies I tells ya! (I was too busy testing to play...Ahem...)

Nice Gibball map...

Tis true...I've never known DB to be so quiet. Even TV barely post to their bloggs anymore...

Or let's not bother.

I don't see the point of veritical spin. Let gravity deal with that sort of thing...

Trust me - this is still possible in 5v5. A full length banana pass from a keeper over the defence into the path of the attacker is impressive. You may not get as much of the ball in 5v5, but the games are infinitely more interesting...

3vs3 VO is the best mode I have ever played in DB. It is a mode where you need a lot more skill to play well than in 5vs5. I couldn't disagree more. You need to have a positional awareness and much more emphasis is placed on teamwork. Sixty gives good advice; join a pickup and play a few matches. I...

VO is indeed nothing new, and a problem that won't go away. Just now the JUICE public server will not help this trend to continue. The server was very busy last night on a number of maps. I think the old 3v3 server was a problem - it was popular and generally the only pub ever full. It was silly to ...

It has! On the Juice public server at least... :p

3v3 VO server is now a 5v5 server with mapvote. I still think no self volley has its merits but ultimately the server is better put to use in a 5v5 capacity where more people can enjoy it at once.

That's looking very likely as I think the 5v5 Juice public server has gone for good. If I get that confirmed then the 3v3 server will be no more and we won't need to argue over no self-volley goals anymore...

1) I'd argue constant egoing puts off newbies more. Deathball is a team game after all. 2) Predictable perhaps. But it surely encourages you to think of new ways to go about scoring. 3) True. The only reason I see for making the server regular VO again. 4) Too easy for keepers? Now they have half a ...
