Package: bzflag
Version: 2.0.0.20050118
Severity: normal
During the game startup it tries to connect to vhost.sourceforge.net and
to bzflag.org in order to get MOTD announcement.
Of cause, behind a proxy this leads to a long game block during
startup (until TCP timeout expires).
For unexperienced user this behaviour looks like bzflag hangs on
startup. So it would be nice to switch off this option by default.
Thanks.

Thanks for the bug report. The manpage now references the -motd flag.
Since MOTD fetching is now done in an asynchronous manner, and upstream
doesn't plan on doing anything further to resolve short "hang" phase,
I'm closing this bug. Please don't hesitate to reopen it if you believe
it to still be a problem.
Best wishes,
Ryan
