About the Servers of Alex's Armory:

This is a privately owned and operated Quake 3 server. Two separate instances of the Quake 3 executable run as dedicated internet servers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With the exception of downtime due to updates and the occasional Windows error, the servers never close. This machine is dedicated to running these Game Servers. It serves no other purpose and is not used for anything else.

The dedicated server hardware is as follows:

AMD Sempron 2200+ CPU operating at 1.5GHz. (Underclocked)
640MB RAM
7200 RPM, ATA100 Hard Drives (Windows XP PRO and Quake 3 on C: and Quake 4 on D:)
100Mb NIC connected to a 15Mb down, 5Mb up Cable connection

No Quad
No Personal Teleporter
No BFG
No Falling Damage
No Voting
Field of View is no longer fixed at 90! There are so many other cheats out there, it just doesn't matter anymore. I wish I could cap it at 120 or 125, but NoGhost only allows or disallows custom FOV settings. Oh well...
Forced Respawn after 5 seconds
25 second warm-up between maps (Helps players on slow connections reconnect before the next match begins.)
2 second delay between text messages (Anti-chat-spam measure)
Chat-fragging, suicides and camping may result in you being kicked out of the server automatically, even if no Administrator is present.
Remaining inactive for more than 5 minutes will drop you from the server, unless you are spectating.
This server is now delagged.

A note on the Delag feature:
I'm not 100% certain what code Maverick worked into his mod, but I'm reasonably sure it behaves similarly to the code in Instagib. Essentially, Delag (and Instagib) buffer the game about 500 milliseconds.
So, anyone with a ping under 500 (with little to no packet loss, otherwise known as CONNECTION INTERRUPT) should be playing on as level a field as possible.
The trick is to just play as if you're playing a single player game on your own machine. What you see is as close to what the server sees as possible, unless you're seeing the CONNECTION INTERRUPTED message flashing on your screen alot. If that's the case, then you can't trust what you see onscreen and other players will see you "warp" or "teleport" or simply appear jerky as you move around.
