gstricto, kingtom played nappy mod for a LONG time before he came to paintball mod. if you want to see a good modder, ask sneeky or kingtom about smokey, the maker of nappy mod.
I've never played Nappy mod for any real length of time. I played Annihilation and UltraVX5 for the first year I was on Tribes, PB Mod for the next few months, then RPG since then. So I only met him through PB. My experiences with him weren't that great, he is too arrogant about what he does with the code. Taurik is right, it's nothing special usually, but he is able to change fog color, make walls semi-transparent and such... It's about the only thing he has done that I had not seen before, but everything else he does is pretty stale.
Perl is the ultimate duct tape and coat hangers language (it's forgiving to novice coders, unlike C++).
This may be so, but I have not gotten around to messing with it. Point being it's not C-style language structures (note: Tribes++, C/C++, Java, PHP, it's all the same basic syntax for the most part). So what if it's easy? You still made the most useful, funny, and helpful bot ever. The praise is well deserved, like I said, you know the code for Perl and client-side enough to: create a pack to compete with Deus, make a bot to help people even when you aren't around, and maybe even dupe your way into some power

Wake up and recognize your "skillz" man.
