San Francisco, California

Moore. The words "Jesus" and "tai" (a Korean swear word) were also banned before, but have now been allowed. Other famous San Franciscans include philanthropist Gordon Getty, publisher William Randolph Hearst, journalist Ambrose Bierce, and co-founder of Intel Corporation and the author of Moore's law, Gordon E. In chat, players will use misspellings, replacement characters (such as "", which is displayed as "₩" in-game), or extra spaces to get around the filter for in game chat. Notable actors include Robin Williams, Danny Glover, Benjamin Bratt and Cheech Marin. Game Ids can be filtered by the Gunbound Site at registration, so no-one can use profanities in their name, though there are many people that get pass this filter and find a way to use profane words in their name. Notable artists include film directors Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas (who recently opened up his new mega millions digital center in the Presidio), Home Alone and Harry Potter director Chris Columbus and Quills Philip Kaufman, who set his most recent film Twisted in his adopted home city. GunBound has a rudimentary profanity filter, usually only filtering some of the most common English swear-words (the word "damn", however, is not filtered) (although, amusingly, it also filters a few perfectly acceptable English terms like "suck").

San Francisco is a haven for many filmmakers and actors, both mainstream and independent. In all three variations of Sudden Death, items are deactivated when the sudden death period begins. US Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, former Governors of California Jerry Brown and Pat Brown, US Senator Dianne Feinstein, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, former US Secretaries of Defense Robert McNamara and Caspar Weinberger, and current FBI director Robert Mueller. Each type of Sudden Death has a special effect on shots. Simpson, baseball legend Joe DiMaggio and Olympic gold medallist and Football Hall-of-famer Ollie Matson are all sports figures with San Francisco connections. Sudden Death mode activates after a set number of turns. American football legend O.J. Here is a list of the satellites in the Moon Disk:.

Some notable examples are photographers Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange, "mother" of Modern Dance Isadora Duncan, author Armistead Maupin, and 19th century author Robert Louis Stevenson. The Moon Disk, located in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen (Or bottom right in new layout for World Championship released in November of 2005), is a series of icons known as "satellites" that affect the gameplay. Many notable people have hailed from or lived in San Francisco. In solo and tag games, players can gain new one-slot items by grabbing treasure chests dropped by defeated players. There are now plans in the works to build a major cruise ship terminal/mall similar to Pier 39 at Piers 27-31, southeast of Pier 39. Items also add extra delay to the user's shot as a price for using the item, this is commonly mistaken by new players to be a gold cost due to the fact that the delay added is labeled on the item in the bottom right hand corner (hence many new players, mistakenly, bring all "bloods" which have no delay cost, but instead require a health penalty). Most of the port's activities are now mostly for commuter ferries that leave from the Ferry Building, cruise ship docking, and tourism. These items offer a variety of benefits to the user, such as "Dual", which allows players to fire two shots in one turn.

Many of the piers remained derelict for years until recently, when the port converted many of the piers to office space and sold them. Prior to each game, powerups can be selected and equipped, with up to 6 basic items, or 3 large items. The advent of container shipping made San Francisco's pier based port obsolete, as much of the city's container traffic is now limited to a small port in the south-east corner of the city, or sent across the bay to the Port of Oakland. Explosion-type attacks do the same damage to all mobiles. The Port of San Francisco was once the largest and busiest seaport on the west coast, but that title is now held by the joint ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The four attack types are:. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC), 44 miles (70.8 km) southwest of San Francisco. Each mobile is one of three types:.

Other large airports in the region include Oakland International Airport (OAK), 20 miles (32.2 km) east of San Francisco and Norman Y. On the other hand, A.Sate requires more precision, but a well-calculated shot will yield lots of damage. Rail extensions there include BART and Caltrain via BART at nearby Millbrae, California. and Big Foot are known to make large holes in the map, which is useful for bunging. During the late 1990s economic boom, SFO was the sixth busiest international airport in the world, but has since fallen off of the top ten during the economic depression of 2000-2001. For example, J.D. It is the only major international hub airport in California other than LAX in Los Angeles. Each mobile has their strengths and weaknesses, and their modes of attack differ by their shot types.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is located 8 miles (12.9 km) south of the city in San Mateo County on a landfill extension into the San Francisco Bay. The chances of getting one is around (1/65). A small fleet of commuter ferries operate from the Embarcadero to points in Marin County, Oakland, and north to Vallejo in Solano County. These Mobliles are much more powerful. In addition, a frequent commuter rail service, Caltrain, operates between San Francisco, San Jose, California and Gilroy, California. In addition to the above mentioned mobiles, there is also a slight chance that you may receive one of two (or in the case of a tag mode battle, an extremely rare chance of both) unselectable mobiles. BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is the regional transit system, which connects San Francisco with the East Bay through an underwater tunnel (the Transbay Tube), and Northern San Mateo County, California communities and San Francisco International Airport on the San Francisco Peninsula. One may also choose the "random" feature on the mobile selection screen.

Muni is the city-owned public transit system which operates the Muni Metro light rail system, the F Market heritage streetcar line and the famous San Francisco cable car system (see right), together with buses and trolleybuses. Note: Defense reduction only applies to Hit-type attacks, meaning Hit-types such as the NakMachine will deal more damage while other mobiles will still deal the same damage. San Francisco has the most extensive public transit system on the West Coast and one of the most diverse in the country. NOTE: In Gunbound Thor's Hammer the SNIPER mode seemed to be glitched and just added power randomly, and so with the release of Gunbound World Champion, Sniper mode was removed. Interstate 280 runs from South of Market to the west, and then south towards Silicon Valley and Highway 1 or Park Presidio Blvd which bisects the westside of the city as an arterial thoroughfare. SLICE and DRAGSHOT are the two different modes of controlling shot power. Northbound, US 101 uses arterial streets, Van Ness Avenue and Lombard Street to the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin County. Delay is a considerably important factor when playing GunBound, as skillful management of delay will allow a player to take turns faster than his or her opponent.

The major highways in San Francisco are Interstate 80 which begins at the Bay Bridge and goes eastbound; US 101 which extends Interstate 80 to the south towards Silicon Valley. As with most statistics, however, it only applies to Avatar On servers. Similarly, the Golden Gate Bridge is the only direct road access to Marin County. Equipping avatars that affect either the delay stat or the item delay stat also influence the turn delay. From San Francisco, the Bay Bridge is the only direct automobile link to the East Bay. Delay that is added to the shot due to time is calculated at +10 delay per second for all bots (except Turtle, which has +12 delay per second). Because of its unique geography —making "beltways" somewhat impractical— and the "Freeway Revolt" of the late 1950s, San Francisco is one of the few cities in the US including Boston and New York City that has opted for European style arterial thoroughfares instead of a large network of major highways. In a player's turn, the timer is set for 20 seconds (failing to complete the shot within 20 seconds results in forfeiture of turn, which can also be done without adding any extra delay through a "skip turn" button) when a player's turn starts and measures in increments of .01.

However, San Francisco Bay Area Sport Officials are showing interest in yet another bid, for the 2016 games. Delay is determined by 4 factors:. bid but eventually lost to London to host the XXII Olympiad. This number in the delay chart/list at the bottom left hand corner determines the turn order. Ultimately, New York won the U.S. (Punky Brown hair (head), Red Nose (face), Hawaiian Wear (shirt), Vampire Casket (flag).). in the International bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. (Items range from as little as 5,000 to as much as 350,000 gold to buy permanently; obviously, the monthly rentals cost much less and the weekly rentals less still.) If you wanted to buy a premium outfit using only gold, it could cost upwards of 1,000,000 gold; buying a "money suit" for 135,000 would speed things up considerably.

Olympic committee to represent the U.S. For instance, the Flamingo shirt gives 18 popularity points and costs 60,000 gold to buy permanently. In 2004 San Francisco and New York City were the two finalists chosen by the U.S. (See above; one point in popularity = 1% more gold.). The city is also home to some famous golf courses, including the Harding Park Golf Course and the courses of the Olympic Club. They are relatively cheap and help you earn gold 1.5 times as fast. Records aside, the race is best known for its colorful costumes and celebratory community spirit (it was initiated after the disastrous 1906 earthquake as a way to boost the city's spirits). These are called "money suits" but they are not official sets.

The city is also the home of the annual Bay to Breakers footrace, which holds the world records for greatest number of participants in a footrace (110,000 in 1986) as well as longest consecutively running footrace (annually since 1912). Many people play there with a combination of avatars that give you 50+ popularity since that's the only stat that matters. The NCAA football Emerald Bowl is held in San Francisco each December. These Zones are known as "Avatar Off" zones. Other regional college sports teams include the Stanford Cardinal, the San Jose Spartans and the California Golden Bears. Note: In some game zones (11, 12) avatar bonuses do not apply, except for the star (or popularity) stat, which increases the amount of gold won in a game. College sports include the USF Dons, San Francisco State Gators and the CCSF Rams. However, the penalty for damage to a player on your own team is not given if the damage is less than 50 (out of the ~1000 damage it takes destroy average mobiles with no avatar to help them last longer) or if you give any damage to the opposing side on the turn as well, no matter how much.

The South Bay is the home of the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League and of the San Jose Sabercats of the Arena Football League. Penalties of a loss of GP and gold are given for plays that help the opposing side. The Greater San Francisco Bay Area is home also to the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League and the Oakland Atheltics of Major League Baseball, whom both play in the McAfee Coliseum in Oakland, California. GP is the point system that determines ranking. San Francisco is the home of the San Francisco 49ers National Football League team, who play at Monster Park and the San Francisco Giants Major League Baseball team, who play at SBC Park. The power-user card also gives a host unlimited number of kicks in the game room instead of 5 and prevents him from losing gold or GP in penalties such as damaging a teammate. San Francisco boasts legendary pop music venues such as The Fillmore and The Warfield. Cash only is also used for the power-user card, a temporary status that makes a player earn gold and GP faster (+10% gold and +20% GP) and enhances the status of the games he hosts to attract more players.

Major areas of nightlife in San Francisco are North Beach, the Mission District, the Marina, the Castro, and South of Market. One notable exception to this rule is the cash-only phoenix and its blue-flamed brother, which are very powerful items. San Francisco also has varied nightlife ranging from bars to lounges to clubs. Gold only items are usually the most powerful items with the best upgrades. Two additional gay choruses, the Lesbian/Gay Chorus of San Francisco and Golden Gate Men's Chorus, also perform throughout the year. Although most items can be rented with cash or gold, some items are gold only or cash only. In addition to professional, mainstream performing arts, San Francisco is home to the 200-member San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, the world's first gay chorus, as well as the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band, the world's first gay marching band. This is called "cash." Using cash is sometimes looked down upon by a few players, since the items were not earned by the skill of the player.

The city is also home to the American Conservatory Theater, also known as A.C.T., which has been a leading force in Bay Area performing arts since its founding in 1965. To earn items faster, a player can pay softnyx with real-world money. San Francisco's Ballet and Opera are some of the oldest continuing performing arts companies in the United States. It is also possible to have negative points. Performing arts venues in San Francisco include the San Francisco Symphony, the San Francisco Opera and the San Francisco Ballet. The maximum number of points in any one category is 50. Other museums include the International Museum of Women, the Museum of the African Diaspora, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, the Museum of Craft & Folk Art, the Cartoon Art Museum, and the Mexican Museum. Avatar items enhance:.

de Young Memorial Museum, and the Asian Art Museum. These items may be bought permanently with gold or cash, or may be rented for a chosen period of time, depending on the amount you spend. H. Gold is the in-game currency that can be used to purchase avatar items. Notable San Francisco museums include the Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), the Palace of the Legion of Honor, the M. Awards are given for giving a good amount of damage (either for a full game or in a single turn), destroying or bunging (making a player fall off a map) an opponent, shooting with a high angle and, of course, winning a game (although players on the side that loses are allowed to keep the GP and gold they earned during the game). Through the years San Francisco has been the subject of popular songs, the most famous of which is arguably "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" by Tony Bennett. During game play prizes of gold and GP are awarded.

Famous fictional works set in San Francisco include The Joy Luck Club, The Maltese Falcon, and Tales of the City. This, however, is only available in basic mode, attack mode allows only items. The movies regarded as showing the city at its best include Bullitt, Dirty Harry, and Vertigo. Depending on the drop mode selected in the lobby area by the host (basic or attack) gold bonuses are also available through the slots in the form of 10, 50, or 100 gold. Because of its beauty, San Francisco is a favorite location for movies. (A red player's drops will be marked as red triangles, and a blue player's drops will be marked blue.). It is the world's most popular destination for gay tourists and hosts San Francisco Pride, the world's largest gay pride parade and festival, in June. Each triangle's color is the color of the team of the player dropping the item.

The high concentration of gay people in the Castro and Noe Valley, coupled with the city's historical contributions to gay rights, has earned San Francisco the reputation of the "Gay Mecca". The small triangle facing downwards denotes the drop point of origin, and will count down from 4. In 2004, it became the new home of the Loveparade that used to be held in Berlin. All items require four turns to fall or activate. Movements instrumental in this change include the beat generation or beatniks, the San Francisco Renaissance in the 1950s, hippie culture, women's liberation, gay civil rights, the Summer of Love in the Haight Ashbury, the rise of a substantial punk scene in the 1970s and 1980s, and the rave culture of the 1990s. They are as follows:. In the years following World War II, San Francisco accelerated its transformation into a center of alternative culture and lifestyles. The drops fall from the very top of the screen and, unless otherwise stated are affected by wind greatly depending on wind power and direction.

Some of the most notable landmarks are the Transamerica Pyramid and Golden Gate Bridge. The option of respining the slot is also available. The two most notable universities in the metropolitan area outside of the city limits are:. If and when it generates three identical items, it allows them to drop or use these beneficial or harmful items on the remaining players. Private colleges and universities:. During a Tag or Solo match, defeated players receive a slot wheel which automatically spins. Public colleges and universities include:. Originally, only Nirvana, CozyTower and MetaMine had B-sides, but since the update of GunBound World Champion, all maps have a B-Side.

Despite its limited geographical space, San Francisco is home to a multitude of colleges and universities. They are listed below:. The city is served by San Francisco Unified School District, the Archdiocese of San Francisco's dozens of Catholic elementary and high schools, and many other private schools.

Because of the California gold rush, San Francisco is one of the banking and financial centers of the U.S. Players can move their mobiles a limited distance, choose a weapon (either weapon 1, 2, or SpecialShot) and adjust the angle and power to which they will fire their shot within a limited time.

The Phoenix symbolizes the city's emergence from the ashes of several devastating fires in the early 1850's. Players can choose from a wide range of unique mobiles, ranging from a giant mechanical slug (Grub) to a Triceratops (Trico). Above is a rising phoenix and behind is the bay with sailing ships. Players are assigned to opposing teams that take turns firing at their opponents with their "mobiles". The seal, which was adopted in the 1850s, depicts two working men, on one side a miner and on the other a sailor with a sextant. GunBound is similar to the turn-based Worms game series, which were themselves based on earlier two-dimensional ballistics-simulation games such as Scorched Earth (IBM PC platform). Underneath the phoenix it has a motto written in Spanish: "Oro en Paz, Fierro en Guerra," which translates into: "Gold in Peace, Iron in War.". .

A person appointed or elected to fill a vacancy of less than two years is not deemed to have served a full term for purposes of term limits, whereas a person who fills a vacancy with more than two years remaining in the term is deemed to serve a full term and will be able to run for a consecutive term only once. suk, suks, or sux = suck or sucks (Censor bypass). Vacancies on the Board of Supervisors are filled by mayoral appointment, subject to special election (except as the Charter permits an appointee to remain in office until the general election for the seat is held). Frequently and incorrectly called 55 as the other 2 buttons are "numbers," and the letters SS look like a 55 as well).

Eyed warily by some and optimistically by others - in both cases owing to the belief that single-transfer voting might favour so-called "progressive" and "minority party" candidates over so-called "conservative" and "mainstream party" candidates - the 2004 general election results showed that belief to be unfounded, as all incumbent Supervisors were returned to office. SS/55 = special shot (yellow button on GunBound: Thor's Hammer and red button on actual GunBound; it can be used every 4 shots by the player, and will recharge twice as fast during Item Locks. The process continues, as necessary, until one candidate achieves a majority of votes cast and is then declared the winner. This, of course, encourages them to use it whenever they are out of school, especially on the internet where nobody can hear them. If a candidate does not achieve a majority of votes cast when the first choice votes are counted, the candidate with the least number of votes is eliminated and the second choice votes on those ballots are tabulated and "transferred" to the remaining candidates. Due to a government resolution, school kids in Singapore can be expelled if they are caught speaking Singlish. Under this new ranked-choice system, whenever there are more than two candidates for an office, voters rank their choices in order of preference. Singlish = an English creole spoken in Singapore -- it is a mix of English and several Chinese dialects.

This system replaced the old, expensive system of run-off elections. sh!t, shlt, shyt or sh1t = shit (Censor bypass). A single vote transfer system of elections was approved by the electorate and implemented in time for the 2004 general election. sg = shotgun (Straight shot which consists in pointing, powering up, and releasing at aclose range, completely eliminating the point of predicting the shot's trajectory) -- also used to refer to Singapore. Thus, Tom Ammiano, who was elected to the Board of Supervisors in 1994 and 1998 under the old system, then again in 2000 under the new system, was able to run yet again in 2004 (and won). rdy = ready (a call to action, rather than a question; all players must signal they are ready before the game begins). As part of the change to district elections, however, this provision applies to supervisors only as of the first full term of election following its implementation in 2000. pro = professional/good/skilled player.

None may serve more than two consecutive terms. pendejo = a Spanish guy. The Mayor and members of the Board of Supervisors are subject to term limits under the San Francisco Charter. nt = nice try.

Supervisors representing even-numbered districts (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) were elected to transitional two-year terms in 2000, thereafter to be elected every fourth year (2002, 2006, 2010, etc.). noob, n00b, newb, newbie, nub = new/bad/unskilled player. Supervisors representing odd-numbered districts (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11) are elected every fourth year counted from 2000 (so, 2000, 2004, 2008, etc.). "Cake's SS got nerfed yesterday! It can't bunge anymore.". The terms are staggered so that only half the board is elected every two years, thereby providing continuity. nerfed = when a GunBound update weakens something; e.g. Under the current system, Supervisors are elected by district to four-year terms. nado = tornado/hurricane.

Following the assassinations of Supervisor Milk and Mayor George Moscone a year later, by Supervisor Dan White who had just resigned, district elections were deemed divisive and San Francisco returned to at-large elections until the current system was implemented in 2000. n1 = nice one. The first district-based elections in 1977 resulted in a radical change to the composition of the Board, including the election of Harvey Milk, only the third openly gay or lesbian individual (and the first who was male) elected to public office in the United States. ctm = cono tu madre in Spanish, as in the female private part being directed to your mom, and no, it doesn't mean anything nice. The person who received the most votes was elected President of the Board of Supervisors, and the next ten were elected to seats on the board. mierda = Spanish word for shit. All candidates appeared together on the ballot. Sometimes lags fix themselves, but sometimes they don't end until everyone gets bored of waiting and leaves the game.

Prior to 1977 and again from 1980 through 2000, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors was elected at-large. lag = used by players to announce the game is lagging (will not move forward to next turn, causing players to just sit and wait). Throughout the United States, almost all cities and counties with populations in excess of 20,000 divide the jurisdiction into electoral districts (in cities, often called "wards") to ensure proportionate representation of the whole community and to evenly distribute the community interaction workload evenly among the members of the governing body (city council, county board of supervisors, etc.) But California has always been disinclined to follow examples set by the rest of the country; and San Francisco, notwithstanding a population of 0.7 million, has been no exception. ks = kill steal (killing an opponent one's teammate had already been attacking extensively), thus taking the gold for the kill. How the Board of Supervisors shall be elected has been a bone of contention in recent San Francisco history. jejejeje or jajajaja = the "j" consonant sound in Spanish is similar to the "h" sound in English, this is used as a laugh by Spanish speakers. The current president of the Board is Aaron Peskin, who represents District 3. haircut/headshot = someone's shot "sliced" the top of another person, but didn't actually hit (due to the square detection area the game uses to register hits, the player's "body" will not register as a hit, only the mobile itself does.).

The eleven members of the Board of Supervisors (as of January 2005) are listed in the table at right by district number^[4]. gl = Good luck. If the mayor dies or resigns, the President of the Board of Supervisors assumes the office until a special election can be held. gg = Good/great game. The current mayor is Gavin Newsom. gj = Good/great job. presidential election. gb = GunBound.

San Francisco exercises jurisdiction over the Hetch Hetchy Valley and watershed, in Yosemite National Park, pursuant to a perpetual leasehold granted by Act of Congress in 1913, the Raker Act. dt = double team - Two or more teammates focus their fire on one enemy player, (considered cheat or foul play by some, teamwork by others). Thus, the airport, which is about 15 miles south of mainland San Francisco, is legally part of San Francisco because the municipality owns it. dk = double kill (said when player has a double kill set up or when someone has achieved a double kill).

Because counties are administrative divisions of the state, it is legally impossible for two counties to occupy or exercise jurisdiction over the same piece of land. Resumably used due to a badly translated bungee on softnyx' part. San Francisco International Airport, for example, would be located within San Mateo County but for the fact it is owned and operated by the City and County of San Francisco. bunge = The action of destroying the land from under an opponent, thereby defeating them. It is in the latter capacity that San Francisco exercises jurisdiction over property that would otherwise be located outside of its corporation limit. Does not pertain to aimbotting, where they actually have to work to hit. San Francisco's unique status also makes it a municipal corporation and an administrative division of the state. This is considered foul play and counter measures have been instituted by softnyx in the form of reduced Gold and GP awards in 1 VS 1 matches.

San Francisco is the only California city with a board of supervisors, which is also the city council. Usually consists of a player versus a new account that automatically walks off the map, then restarts the game. It is the only metropolitan municipality in California and the only California county with a mayor who is also the county executive. botter = A user using automated programs to win 1 VS 1 games. As the official name implies, the City and County San Francisco is a metropolitan municipality, being simultaneously a charter city and charter county with a consolidated government. A new glitch that has been discovered that allows mobiles to shoot at previously unaccessable angles, this technique also call backshot. Out of the total population, 13.5% of those under the age of 18 and 10.5% of those 65 and older are living below the poverty line. bs = back shot (for a boomer mobile mostly, referring to a shot that can be used to inflict more damage and earn more money), or bullshit.

11.3% of the population and 7.8% of families are below the poverty line. bf = BigFoot. The per capita income for the city is $34,556 which is ranked as the 19th highest in the country. expects to defeat someone else.).

For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 103.1 males. Decimals are also used for precision. For every 100 females there are 103.4 males. ex: Someone might tell their teammate "Angle 87, 2 bar" would mean shooting 87 degrees at 2 bar power. The median age is 36 years. bar (1 bar, 2 bar, 3 bar) = The power bar in Gunbound has 3 marks inside it called 'bars', they are used to help teammates distinguish shots. In the city the population is spread out with 14.5% under the age of 18, 9.1% from 18 to 24, 40.5% from 25 to 44, 22.3% from 45 to 64, and 13.7% who are 65 years of age or older. Most of the programs found on the internet are not "bypassed," but usually the ones that you must purchase function until nProtect "patches" new aimbots.

San Francisco has fewer children, in proportion to the population as a whole, than any other large city in the United States. However, with the introduction of the nProtect Hacking Prevent System, it has become very difficult, if not impossible, to find an aimbot that functions. The average household size is 2.30 and the average family size is 3.22. Aimbot = A program created for use in aiming at opponents with perfect, or near perfect, accuracy. 38.6% of all households are made up of individuals and 9.8% have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. No Death: Sudden Death doesn't activate at all for the duration of the game. There are 329,700 households out of which 16.6% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 31.6% are married couples living together, 8.9% have a female head of household with no husband present, and 56.0% are non-families.
