No action will be taken, kick polls are there for this reason, if you are annoying enough people to vote you out, you should modify your behavior. While admins may not action you for playing your class, the community will hold you responsible for your actions. Should you delay you face that chance. HA/HX and bowmen need to learn when to stop running and just stand and fight so the other 30-70 players in the server aren't inconvenienced by their douchyness. (this is not saying when its 4v1 you must stand your ground, more like if you are hopelessly outnumbered just end it rather than dragging it out by an unnecessary 2 more minutes)
NOT OK: poll-kicking someone because you don't like his playstyle
No drawing/delaying the round on purpose (i.e. running away or camping unreachable places when you're one of the last people alive)
Yea lets just completly ignore the rules of this game why not?
Lets start banning people for abusing this rule.
how is attacking and attempting to win the same as delaying? people don't bitch when it's a single sheilder or 2h trying to win and he does everything in his power to do so. They only bitch cause those people are mounted and have a bow or xbow and they don't bother adapting their tactics to compensate.
Common sense. The first rule. It also doesn't support this BS.
2 hander/pole or shielder can be attacked. There is a certain amount of skill involved. The ability to stay out of range is not very skillful. This tactic is meant for the single player game before you learn how to block.
Should definitely assume that none of those pesky HX's know how to block, lol. It would behoove you to stay near and protect your ranged if you are melee. Let them shoot down the horse then it is a free kill.
Never said they could not block I am saying the tactic is meant for that. I do not mind the HX or HA playing and doing their thing. but when it comes to an army vrs them.. Stop delaying and make a stand.
The only time people should moan about it is if the round does reach a draw. If you are outnumbered and it's getting close then you should die.
disagree when it is a forgone conclusion it should be done. why waste out 2-4 minutes because being an ass makes you forget your parents never loved you.

Hah. This is NA man. People stamp their feet and throw tantrums if they don't get their way. They play poorly or get unlucky and die within the first minute and foam at the mouth at the thought of having to wait 3 or 4 minutes to respawn.
You wouldn't vote on a 2h fighter engaging a horde, even if he's not doing much.
Turn polls on and let the community interpret the rules. The one time polls were enabled, ss and friends were instantly vote kicked. If that doesn't single out the fact that there is a problem with them trolling, or the interpretation of rules, what will.
Immediately after getting kicked, admins came onboard and disabled polls, and the trolling disappeared as there was a lot of noise in the system.
People clean up their act if they know their douchebaggery is just going to get them booted out by the majority.
Problem is every other time the trolls are NOT on, you get pollspam from people harassing each other etc.
But anyway, Malaclypse is right, once the Master of the Field is modified, I'm sure it'll be fine
if these people are harassing and stuff then they deserve to get kicked, its unreasonable to leave polls off with no admins in the server
I wonder if there could be a way to automatically turn polls on if no admins are in the server
key word engaging Dex. If there is ranged left on the non HX/HA team it is engaging. when there is no ranged to combat it its delaying.Just because the melee are all big downies and run around in the open rather than finding something that could cause Sod/Dick to potentially run into, doesn't mean he's delaying by staying out of range of your sword.
The issue is HX never run out of bolts. Takes FOREVER for them to run out. HA is fine IMO because they will run out pretty quickly if they are firing non-stop. If you spawn with a horse and xbow / bolts you get a % of the normal bolts you would get if you don't spawn with a horse. Limit there ammo and the delay of games will stop.
Just because the melee are all big downies and run around in the open rather than finding something that could cause Sod/Dick to potentially run into, doesn't mean he's delaying by staying out of range of your sword.
The problem is that you know, you can always expect a few downies at the end. Let's say it's 1 v 10, 2 minutes on the clock. It's not very likely that a all 10 are together. It's not especially likely that you can rally all ten together and get them to hide somewhere to draw out flags or coordinate to take down a HX. All it takes is one person to die before a minute passes to extend MOTF spawning again. One person to be vulnerable, not listen, make a mistake, etc.Very true. As much as I dislike waiting, if the HX has a chance to win, he should be allowed that chance to play and get his team a multi.
Yet here I stand naked in a corner with a siegeshield and all the hatred gets thrown at me for not carrying my team/valor farming/leeching. These Xbow/HA can get away with pretty much anything because it is a class meant for delaying and using your resources wisely (Horse). I say let the server decide on their fate (No vote bans but just kicks)
You do realize that is against the rules? No, of course not, hence why you keep doing it for months on end (two months now) despite innumerable warnings and a few bans...So what rule is that breaking exactly?
Stop wasting everyone's time and just get off the horse and engage in melee. After about 140 wpf theres no need for more xbow prof so throw 70 prof into a melee weapon and take one with you. (same also goes for the dedicated bowmen and xbowmen that dont take a melee weapon... stop running and just fight)
So what rule is that breaking exactly?
Naked with nothing but a siege shield, needs a weapon (even a zero slot will fit if you use two siege shields).He does spawn with a weapon. Naked implies no armour which there is no rule against.
