Unban Essays / Unban Essay - The difference between fooling around and disrupting/griefing

« on: March 03, 2016, 09:09:37 pm »

Hello.

No surprise, some might say, yes here I am again.

As a player with quite a ban record, I understand that there are higher expectations on me to behave. Yes, you can only get so many chances. I've had quite a few. Times have changed, as have I and you can no longer use year old ban records for justifying a ban.

That is precisely what happened to me.

I got judged for my ban record, in addition to an admin assuming things about my personality and using it as justification in their decision. This admin was Uther and before I had a talk with him, he believed I had anger management issues which is why he never even bothered to get my side of the story. Not only is this very irresponsible, but also completely unfair.

I sorted this out with Uther and we talked a bit on Steam, and he got a better understanding of who I am as a person.

I think it's very important to know the people you're playing with when you're an admin, so that you don't make assumptions about other people without truly knowing who they are. Especially if you tend to use these judgments when deciding how to deal with an offender.

The result of my conversation with Uther enabled him to understand that I am actually a reasonable guy and that I don't try to disrupt the server or players but that I perhaps fool around a bit.

I find the rules to be important, but I feel that you shouldn't be a fucking fascist when admining the server. If a clanmate hits his other clanmate, you don't have to interfere etc. etc.

Last week I was banned late at night with less than 20 people playing, and I do not agree with this ban at all. I think it was completely unfair and I will present my arguments as to why.

Take a look at the screenshot, and you will see that I teamhit Xesta a total of three times. He claims I hit him an extra three times if you take a look at the other screen.

What happened was, I was a bit inebriated having had a few beers and I got home and felt like playing a bit of good ole' SeaArrPeeGee. I got on, and after drunkedly deciding to respec my alt STF character to an 18/27 build with low armour and +3 katana, I got into a mishap with the gregarious fellow Xesta, who is oh-so enjoyable to have around and is not petty at all.

I had accidentally hit Xesta with my masterful drunken style masterwork katana flurry while we were ganking some poor guy, and he responds in a fit of rage unseen at this unholy hour and hits me with all his baby rage fury in the back.

In good humour and hardly phased, I thought to myself "Ah, bitch. You want to dance?" and hit him once while he desperately tried, ultimately failed to block my godly drunken abilities - then landing the second intentionalas he was trying to retaliate, ending the whole spectacle with a GODLY headshot from an enemy archer.

* Bjord tips his hat

Now, imagine if you are so reactive as to hit back from an accidental teamhit, HOW fuming you would be if you lost a bitch fight and even got headshotted by an enemy archer, your sworn foe laughing as your feces are no longer held in place by your rectal muscles and you shit yourself into the afterlife.

Who is it then that suffers anger management problems? Just a few minutes playing with Xesta and you will understand that he is a very angry fellow and this angry fellow didn't want to accept the fact that he got classed in a bitch fight, so he went and done made the thread.

Ban mongering is the last thing you want to promote if you want a thriving community, and is something you should actively work against. That is why it's so important to put emphasis on enjoyment and allow people the privilege of fooling around, and not banning for every little rule break.

That's basically the whole story, and then I had to deal with a very rude admin called Rico who just gave me nonchalante, rude and sarcastic remarks whenever I provided fair points as to why this ban was not handled well until I finally got to speak with someone reasonable. So thank you, Uther, and I will be extra careful in the future who I am fooling around with, rest assured.

So guys, in short... If you are an admin, Please stop being a fascist and try to enjoy the game - The difference between fooling around and disruption is huge.

Don't be a robot and learn to see that difference, know when to step in and do your job.

As in this case, if you're going to ban one guy for breaking a rule then don't miss the guy who started the intentional hitting in the first place.

Thank you, and remember to enjoy yourself. It's only a game.

Banned over an hour for a kickpoll is kinda ridiculous, especially when it was a joke. You could have just disabled the kickpolls, yet you ban me?

I'm guessing you enjoyed banning me, I can see why a lot of people probably laughed when you did. Good on you, mate.

Whoever decided you should have admin, oh boy what a mistake. Who the fuck bans for a kickpoll?

I honestly don't see the point of banning someone for something this minor, and over an hour is harsh. I'm guessing you banned me for 24h.

You're supposed to warn before you ban, and even kick before you ban unless the rule breaking is over the top. You didn't do any of those, you just went straight to the ban. I don't think people like that should be admins.

I banpolled SB_Bastian_RJ after he killed me on EU 1 around 11 PM +1 GMT.

It was a joke, as the chat was mainly about complaining about the new ranged buff. He killed me and I ban polled him and I know 100% it wouldn't have passed.

An admin then banned me (don't know how long) within 10 seconds of the ban poll. I find that quite harsh, since they can just disable the polls and then carry on playing.

No one took offence, and Bastian just laughed.

Don't ban people for idiotic stuff like that.

General Off Topic / Free energy already exists, we've been kept in the dark for over a century.

« on: October 28, 2015, 04:01:20 pm »

  If oil is replaced with a more efficient energy source do you think all these middle-eastern problems will magically disappear?

Yes. I mean, "magically" is probably an optimistic way to put it though.

If the US hadn't persecuted Nikola Tesla for inventing free energy, sure.

http://www.tewari.org/

Though the concepts are being worked with, here's an excerpt:

(click to show/hide)

“Ere many generations pass; our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point in the universe.” – Nikola Tesla

A Reactionless AC Synchronous Generator (RLG) has been invented by Paramahamsa Tewari, electrical engineer and former Executive Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India. His background includes engineering project management for construction of nuclear power stations. The efficiency of models he has built, which have also been independently built and tested, is as high as 250%.

In November 2014, I made one of many visits to the laboratory of Paramahamsa Tewari. I had seen the basis for the RLG design in September of 2010. Mr. Tewari showed me a stiff conductor about a foot long which was allowed to rotate at the center and connected at each end with small gauge wire. A magnetic circuit was placed under the conductor. When a current was allowed to flow through the conductor it rotated, due to a torque induced on the conductor according to Flemings Left Hand Rule and standard theory, verified by experiments at the dawn of the electrical age. With a simple rearrangement of the magnetic circuit, the same current produced no rotation – the torque was cancelled. I later duplicated the setup and experiment on my workbench. It is ingenious and lead to his breakthrough, the invention of a reactionless generator with greatly improved efficiency.

This experiment has lead to the design and testing of generators with efficiencies far above any previous design. The design uses the same types of materials used in current generators, but the magnetic circuit within the machine is configured to cancel back torque while inducing current and producing power. This might be compared to the rearrangement of materials by the Wright Brothers to build a surface with lift that resulted in manned flight in a time when many, including scientists, said it was impossible. Indeed, physicists who cling to an outdated model of the properties and structure of space have declared what has been done by Tewari to be impossible.

During the November testing I witnessed two tests of efficiency on the new model in Tewari’s lab. The second test was several percent better than the first and produced 6.6 KVA with an efficiency of 238%. A second set of stator coils was not connected yet but is expected to increase output to 300%. This is a 3 phase, 248 volt Hz, AC synchronous generator operating at 50 Hz. State of the art, true RMS meters on the input and output that measured KW, KVA, and power factor confirmed the readings of meters we had supplied for tests I observed in April of 2014.

We were able to visit a 130-acre factory site of one of the top electrical machinery manufacturing companies in India. At this site the company manufactures rotating electrical machines, including generators. When the chief electrical engineer first saw the drawings and design of the RLG he knew immediately what it meant for efficiency! Because of their confidence in the design, and the results of the tests on the smaller model, the company has assembled a self-excited machine designed to produce 20 KVA.

When we arrived at the factory a vice president of the company, the factory general manager, and the chief engineer greeted us. We then inspected the new machine and met the engineering design team assigned to this project. They are electrical and mechanical engineers who design and build conventional generators with output as high as 500 KVA. They are very enthusiastic and understand the breakthrough. A second machine rated at 25 KVA is now under construction at this company in India.

kva

I believe, as do the engineers in India, that this is the biggest breakthrough in rotating electrical machine design since Faraday’s invention of the electrical motor in 1832. The elimination of back torque allows all the energy generated to pass through the machine. Power output is determined by the strength of the excitation magnets and the synchronous reactance (resistance at 50/60 Hz) of the stator windings. Current models can be cascaded for higher output. Each machine can produce at least 2.38 times the input and can be configured in a self-running mode. Due to concentration on efficiency and design improvements the machine has not yet been configured in this manner.

During a visit to witness tests in December of 2012, we were guests of the engineering director of a large utility company, and we toured a generation facility which the director pointed out was ready for RLG systems as soon as they are scaled to the required size. In March 2015 we returned to India for licensing discussions. Current plans call for introductory models to be marketed at 10 KVA and 25 KVA. A second company is involved in manufacturing discussions and the Karnataka Power Corporation, which supplies Bangalore, is investigating the use of 200 KVA units in a wind farm application as described in the April 7th edition of Asia Times.

The November 2013 issue of The Atlantic magazine features an article on The 50 Greatest Breakthroughs Since the Wheel. The RLG is more than just a product or a technical innovation. It is a fundamental change in the way that energy can be generated. It overcomes the inherent inefficiencies of AC generators.
 Patents have been filed and the RLG is ready to be licensed to companies that manufacture rotating electrical machinery. In fact, discussions with companies on three continents are underway.

We believe that the RLG is a fundamental discovery, not an innovation. Mankind’s first fundamental discovery was harnessing and controlling fire. The second was the wheel. The third was harnessing and controlling electricity. The fourth was harnessing and controlling the atom. The RLG can turn wheels without the use of fire (fossil fuels) or the atom (nuclear plants). It is a 21st century innovation. The first four of these innovations involved an understanding of material elements. The RLG is based on an understanding of the non-material properties of space.
 Paramahamsa Tewari’s search for the nature of reality has led him from study of the ancient Vedas of India to the formulation of Space Vortex Theory. It is a new theory unifying the relationship between space, mass, inertia, light, and gravity. Starting with principles described in the Vedic texts, Tewari was able to delineate a mathematical model that explains the words of Tesla when he said:

“All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles all things and phenomena.” – Nikola Tesla,“Man’s Greatest Achievement,” 1907

In Tewari’s words:

“The universal matter is created out of prana since prana is aakaash in motion, and aakaash is the primordial superfluid substratum of the universe.”

The concept that efficiencies cannot be greater than 100% is due to an incomplete understanding of the properties of space. The second law of thermodynamics must be modified to account for the fact that space is not empty, as has been taught for the last 150 years. The RLG operates at what has been called “over unity.” Many experienced electrical engineers engaged in the manufacture of AC generators have independently tested the RLG and confirmed the efficiency ratings that I have observed. It’s time for the physicists to get out of the way and modify their theories while the engineers go about the business of design and production.

The theory and mathematical models can be found at:

Paramahamsa Tewari, Background

Paramahamsa Tewari was born on June 1, 1937, and graduated in Electrical Engineering in 1958 from Banaras Engineering College, India, and held responsible positions in large engineering construction organizations, mostly in nuclear projects of the Department of Atomic Energy, India. He was also deputed abroad for a year at Douglas Point Nuclear Project, Canada. He is presently the retired Executive Nuclear Director, Nuclear Power Corporation, Department of Atomic Energy, India, and is the former Project Director of the Kaiga Atomic Power Project.

Fundamentals of physics attracted Tewari’s imaginations right from the early school and college days. Over the last four decades his new ideas on the basic nature of space, energy, and matter have solidified into definite shape from which a new theory (Space Vortex Theory) has emerged. The theory reveals the most basic issue of relationship between space and matter precisely pinpointing that space is a more fundamental entity than matter. The physical significance of mass, inertia, gravitation, charge and light are revealed by extending the analysis in the theory beyond material properties and into the substratum of space, which again is broken down into fieldless voids, thus showing the limit to which a physical theory can possibly reach. The real universe is shown to be opposite to the current concepts of concrete-matter and empty space. The books that he has authored on Space Vortex Theory are:
•The Substantial Space and Void Nature of Elementary Material Particles (1977)
•Space Vortices of Energy and Matter (1978)
•The Origin of Electron’s Mass, Charge Gravitational and Electromagnetic Fields from “Empty Space” (1982)
•Beyond Matter (1984)

He has lectured as invited speaker in international conferences in Germany, USA, and Italy on the newly discovered phenomenon of Space Power Generation.
 For the practical demonstration of generation of electrical power from the medium of space, Tewari has built reactionless generators that operate at over-unity efficiency, thereby showing physicists have been wrong about the nature of space for 110 years and he has shown that space is the source of energy for the generation of basic forms of energy.

General Discussion / I started playing M&B and cRPG 4 years ago - Looking back at the past and now

« on: October 10, 2014, 07:49:02 pm »

Hey guys,

Long time no see.

This is a long read so if you're feeling tired, I suggest you skip it and do something less requiring of your attention span.

Recommended sound track to listen to while reading:

 

For those of you who don't know me, because I'm sure there are some new faces who are part of the core of the community now, I'm an older played called Bjord, or back then Bjordhinn.

I started playing M&B Warband a few weeks after it released on Steam, vanilla-fresh-out-of-the-oven-M&B Warband without any mods. Or at least mods I was aware of, because there was a closed beta version of the game with even older oldmy old friends than me, I call them "sages" - *cough* okiN, Mylet, cmpx8hcabsdasd, chadz, fasader, vargas or espu and some mythical irc:// sages from some anonymous depth of the webs of an internet gaming community *cough*.

I'm shortly put just one of those oldmy old friend veterans that you hear the occasional anecdote about how douchy they were, how skilled they were (yeah right...) etc. etc.

Anyway!

On to the topic:

In March 2010, I bought the game through Steam and practically begged my father to buy it for me, he did. Spoiled little shithead I was.

My enthusiasm in the game was very high as I was a little kid (16-17?), so I completely no-lifed I have to admit. I spent a lot of my free time trying to improve my skills in the game.
It was like a competition with the other players, and earning recognition and respect for accomplishing things that people look up to was very rewarding.

My journey was quite speedy and I improved at a very fast rate - or at least a fast rate compared to what one may feel is fast today, now that you have some life experience and perspective.

I played on my own for a while under the dumbest pseudonyms you can have, namely BillyJoeBob - because I thought rednecks were hilarious and something I would want to form my image around. Complete retardation I think, looking back. Anyhow...

I bitched around a lot and usually had a pretty big mouth, but I wasn't as loudmouthed as most of the oldmy old friends here remember me as (and probably still think I am loudmouthed, I know who you are :wink:). I was a pretty quiet guy, it was a new experience. The setting was amazing - swords, real-time combat, wits versus wits, medieval and competitive.

Thinking about some legends from that time, you will have names like M pop up, who has made numerous "look-at-my-fucking-skill-montage" with fucking badass effects and truly impressive skills, so he has all the bragging rights to be fair. I applied together with him for a clan called IG, another sage clan that still lives on today, so that's another veteran, whom I admittedly know very little about otherwise.

I didn't really make the cut there when I tried to apply because they required a certain degree of maturity, which I at the time severely lacked, so I went looking elsewhere.

That was when I found another clan, a Scandinavian based clan called Einherjar, which had been founded during the closed beta stage of Warband - they really seemed like a cool group and I loved vikings, which was their "theme". I thought they were kickass and I'm raised in Sweden so it was only natural that my at-the-time-naïve-and-nationalistic pride would eventually lead me to such a clan.

Again, I applied and failed on the first try because of immaturity issues, of trying too hard to be liked and generally being very unsympathetic. The founder, Nagelfar was a chill guy, so he let me try again and praising me for my skills in the game, saying I was one heck of a "warrior" and it was too bad that some members didn't approve my application. That really set my ass on fire for the game and nerd-mode went into a whole new level. Everyday I played a lot on a duel server called Nditions, which by the way was the name of the guy who was paying for the server (think he was called Alexander or some shit, anyway he left the game and Bulldog from Caravan Guards, really awesome guy took over the server and founded the Nditions community which has roots in cRPG).

The second attempt succeeded, I was a skilled and recognised player within the clan and most of the members had accepted me. I managed to stay in my skin for a while in that clan, learning about how to fucking behave yourself with other people for the most part and focusing on the fun part.

Ultimately, after about 2-3 months of playing with the same guys every day and the same maps everyday, the game started becoming stagnant and I was craving for something new.

Then the Einherjar guys introduced me to a mod called cRPG, like 2-3 days after alpha beta alpha cRPG had launched with chadz and gang. You could see chadz very regularly, running around on the first cRPG server which was sponsored by Vincenzo, one of the core members of the Warband Native clan called the 22nd (dumb name if you ask me...), which is a  persona non grata legend of whom I shall only hint at his character by the name of Legolas.

The mod was unique. It had everything I had craved. The platform which I fell in love with; sword combat, skill against skill and strategy - and the model that I always liked, RPG-elements with clear goals, rewards and excitement. Leveling up, buying your own gear, investing in skill points, trying to get an advantage on other players in every stage.

Shit man, for a kid my age at the time, to be interested in such a game, you have to be a bit socially awkward, so I won't say other people may have spent the same time as me on such a mod. It's a mod for nerds, let's all admit it. We're nerds. :lol:

Moving on, again I progressed fast in the game. I was more quiet and less loudmouthed as I would eventually become, I was focusing hard on improving my skills, so people probably don't remember me but I went under the name "Cultist". I'd be fucking surprised if anyone but my old Einherjar clanmates like Angantyr, or even him, would remember that name.

I'm not gonna bore you with what my first build was and shit like that, but the general atmosphere and the community was really fresh. It was completely new, everyone was curious and interested in how to better beat other people and get more gold and experience than the other guy, getting cooler armours, cooler weapons and more badass characters so you can rape the shit out of the other team even harder. One particular name comes to mind, Jesus (an actual player, not the biblical one). Among his vast array of weapon choices, he often wielded an awlpike, the short version one.

Looking back at the past and now, Jesus was the first min-maxer. Why do I say this? Well if you remember him, you would know how he raped the living crap out of the average player, wearing a Vaegir War Mask (typical min-maxer helmet) and being generally bad ass. Didn't type much, just killed the shit out of us and inspired many of us to be more competitive. He also had a clear advantage level & item wise as well as skill points and build structure wise.

Moving on twice, I had a short hiatus and eventually when I came back, Native Warband did not interest me. The people there had become full of themselves, and some still are elitistic douchebags in Native just like they were back then. I only wanted to play cRPG. The Einherjar guys kinda lost interest during the time I was away, as the mod was still new and full of nuisances like server resets every 30 minutes so that your progress could be saved in the database (incredibly crude but brilliant nonetheless, considering the limitations of modding the game without WSE). They also liked to wipe your progress, as it was still in a testing stage and in the process of improvement.

Also when I came back, the most frequent character wipe periods had all but faded and the progress would be more long-term and arduous, but even more rewarding and persistent.

That's when nerd level super-saiyajin-over-9000-mode started. First I was in Guards, fairly liked and respected within the clan for the most part, especially by Bulldog who had a Hungarian girlfriend and found out I was also Hungarian. He then switched clans to Shogunate, which was, as seen by its name, a medieval Japan themed clan with samurai and ronin, and I followed with him.

I also pretty much got told off by the Einherjar, as I was kinda going down in activity there and the leader wasn't happy about me "multi-clanning", you know the tedious wannabe clan spirit bullshit.

Anyway, I decided to focus my skill points on two-handed combat, which was a very daring class at the time as it involved having to know how to manual block, swing effectively and generally survive the monster archers like Vargas and some other Merc oldmy old friends.

Everyone pretty much had a ranged weapon on the side, for some reason. Nobody really gave a shit about the balance, people just picked what they wanted to play and played. There were complaints every now and then about how something was unfair, but mostly everyone were so new that they didn't care. I played with Shogunate for a while and started being noticed more by the rest of the community for my prowess in the horse and sword game with persistent character development. There is even a post dating back to the start of this forum after it migrated from the sub-forums of Taleworlds about how I all of a sudden became a good player. Just shows how focused people were on improving their own skills and not giving a shit about everything around you lol.

cRPG for me was like a sanctuary, so of course I probably spent more of my energy in it than the average person and it's not strange to create gaps with this in mind.

I eventually became a tool, full of myself after being acknowledged all of a sudden for my skills and I kinda became a defensive douchebag with a penchant for trash talking, so don't get me wrong I was really obnoxious. :lol:

Not too long after my hiatus and joining Shogunate, I fell out with them due to my idea of amusement by getting into conflicts with JackieChan from the-now-Byzantium and general shit that wouldn't surprise you. So a second time in my cRPG career, I went looking elsewhere for something more exciting and interesting and came across a well-known clan with players who had individual skill many gaps above that of the average player. They still exist today, and I think(?) I am still a member of it today, and they're called the Mercenaries or more commonly Mercs.

It was after joining them when I really started to make a name for myself, as I was the newest collection of their assortment of skilled players. The clan was rowdy, very loud and friendly. We all shared something in common in the beginning, which was the passion for skill in the game, and the ability to win. We were very competitive. It was founded by Olwen, Gnjus, Oberyn and Noctivagant (citation needed). Oberyn and Olwen were two Frenchies who were very successful on the battlefield, one excelling in cavalry combat like a true French my old friend and one favouring foot combat with skills in riding looking like a Norman knight, who later turned persona non grata a year ago and then came back but disappeared.

The other two, Gnjus who was more of a crafty fox with years of experience than a young guy with raw talent for the game and Noctivagant, a fairly notable horse archer. Both a bit more mature guys who didn't still live with their parents like some of us used to.

After joining Mercs, there weren't that many changes in my cRPG career. I become more of an asshat, had a few breaks, lost some skill, became washed out, had another break, came back and got barely beat by DieleR in a duel tournament and kinda just thought "Fuck it, why am I even trying to be the best."

In light of the history of the community, and my journey within it, I realized something today.

I realized how fucking long we have played this game, and how little I actually know about your backgrounds. If you think about it, we have spent more time typing smack to each other and killing each other with swords, arrows, lances, fists, knives, poleaxes, pikes, spears, katanas, crossbow bolts, donkeys and ponies than we have spent with some people people in our lives. Then bear in mind that we judge each other by very superficial and black and white ideals.

We've actually grown up together, no matter how corny that sounds.
