Just one notification: tommygun and minigun do the same damage (10 hp; 20 in Serious difficulty set for Survival of the Sickest). Maybe minigun has a bigger damage amount because of rate of fire (I mean: it kills faster than tommygun, and so it looks more powerful; remember we are talking about weapons principally designed for single player). But it is enough to check it just starting a split screen game and looking how many hp do you lose in one hit; or you can check in the 1.07 sdk, at
"Projectile.es" and you will find the values for "tommy" and "mini". Unless modders have changed damage amount for tommygun in server-side mod settings...
About Survival of the Sickest (LE). I don't remember that minigun was present in that server. It was removed. I'm pretty sure there wasn't minigun between 2013 and 2015, but I don't know before or after those dates. In january, instead, I saw that a tommygun was placed in this server. For me, that was a nice idea: it is useful to break rockets and grenades!
Thanks for that replacement (btw, I didn't know you are admin of Survival of the Sickest together with MissMurder).
And, yes: I recently noticed some common players appear as observers in your server (when I check stats page here). It was a bit curious.
Despite that, I never have asked password to anyone and I always joined the server as a player. Now, I understand the reason too (chat spamming in the past?)
