Electro, the difference between Mercs and clans like Templars or Turks or such is that we really won't pitch in to defend each other, when one of us is in trouble.
Well yes about the contracts, but did y'know mercs had like 30% of the whole caladria pre-masspatch? Is that a hint good enough for you?

Not true... in all the last threads in the ban section where a member of mercs was requested to get banned (newest example olwen)
a couple of your members tried to help with some nice written posts obviously absolutely one sided.
But I agree with oberyn in general.
there is just one thing which bothers me like hell. If one of you gets accidently shot in meele most of you start raging but I have seen so many of your range units who teamkill (it just happens, I know), than say sry but often add stuff like "dont walk in front of me, not my fault though" etc
in other words, whenever many of you guys do a mistake, its actually the mistake of the other guy and not yours. But if the same happens to you, you rage. : )
edit: strategus wise clans hiring the mercs might have to exclude some merc members from the contracts as they behave wrong
as between your last post and my post is no other, I guess this refers to me.(click to show/hide)
Way to generalise, i personally never do any of those things and i know a lot, if not most of the mercs are the same. Which is the point of this thread.
Its a game lets just all go back to it and play it like its not real life. 8-)
I know several mercs I got the deepest respect for
P.S. Also I was banned from risen server for asking whther they like mein kampf....no kidding.
I literally typed this in chat "do you like mein kampf"?
And BAM..permabanned. Job done, right?
HAHAHAHA. name one
Lol.
Today I was permanently banned from all EU servers without any warning or explanation by admin I've never seen before (I believe it is a new one). And guess why he prob banned me? I was lvl 1 (just retired) and tried to cut some of my teammate tincans with knife... Obviously they had no damage at all, but it didn't stop admin from banning me without warning or reason. IMHO chadz need to revise the admin strategy to stop such BS going on. I understand that if people dont like their armor scratched...admin could say through admin chat to stop that. But no, BAN and job done :)

Just one question, have you ever heard of a mini-game called "strategus" ?
Lol.

Yet you can't really think, that when you put a clan tag in front of your name, your actions won't be linked to the clan. If you are just loosely tied individuals, why even bother with a clan or a clan tag? You could just hang out in TS and be BFFs.
You can still be hired for fights, no difference whatsoever.
Correct me, if I am wrong: A clan tag will relate you to your clan and an action taken with that clan tag will be linked to the clan. One post in the forum will never change the way of things are handled in general.
I just wonder, if you are asking for a special treatment for the merc-clan to not be treated as a clan unless it pleases you?
Just my 2c!

So much hate :|
If you (you, sieem) don't like it, perhaps you should leave the mercs? :rolleyes:
I think people should at least basicly roleplay even in battles (like don't try to hit friendly knights, if sbdy slashes really like an idiot with sideswings in the middle of the melee than slash him back etc...).
unluckily than there is always a danger of admin being around that will ban you for TKill or THit on purpose, while the one that has no common sense and fights like an idiot spamming in the middle of friendlies can stay in a game and laugh.
Noctivagant (to avoid naming other admins)

That being said, the mercs can't hide behind the "we are mercenaries" mantra when they have a huge amount of land in Strategus. I actually think it is really sad that a clan that actually fight over territory is called Mercs and not an organisation that helps people that doesn't want to be in a clan to still fight in Strategus battles. You know, like swords-for-hire or mercenaries. Although I guess a namechange for the clan would be too cumbersome to do.
templars always hated us and refused to hire us
we helped people getting their own lands, they got ganked by blocs unfortunatly ( pecores, centurions, for example ), we also helped both blocs, fallens, ninjas, 22nd, searaiders, hre, guards, shogunate for examples,
about guards we gave you some money for your attack against drz, didn't we ? not for free btw, mercing too yeh
we were trying to balance things, cheaper for small factions, higher cost for blocs, btw the fact that you threatened us and that you were being ganked and lost all your troops against drz didn't help me giving you something easily affordable, i offered my help to growl as he was a friend, he refused it, don't blame me

...At that time, the sides weren't limited to how many people they could hire. The computer would hire literally anyone who signed up, and they could all play. So when it came to the actual battle, we had 60 people on the server, but they had 90. But the AI's hiring of everyone who signed up didn't help it, and since I hired all the good players first, especially the Mercs (who killed half the enemy alone)...
Bottom line is i think, just because of olwen, xant, siiem and vicious' trolling, the rest of us are guilty by association.
Sweet. :)
Vanular, have you actually read anything written here? Your responses imply that you have not.
Yes, and you completely miss the point.
Dude vanular, we dont blame others for the hate - we would just like some people (very few mind you) to distinguish between who in our clan are trolls who deserve the hate and the members who just wanna play the game and enjoy themselves.
"and BAM... permabanned." I was the one who banned you btw. After I logged on long after the incident since you ran away after they said you were gonna get banned. So it wasn't BAM permabanned. I can't say exactly how shit happened on the server, I just got instructions that if Varyag gets back on the Risen server then he should be banned for being a chocolate chip cookie. So stop saying you were instantly banned, liar.
(click to show/hide)
No offence to the many mercs whom i actually respect =).
AND I ACCUSE YOUR CLAN FOR BEING chocolate chip cookie AND FASCHISTS! reasoning? Just for the fact that on your server you do not allow people from other cultures to talk to each other in their own languages! einstein would be proud of such offsprings, thats for sure!
NO YOU ARE THE LIER HERE. After I said the phrase "do you like mein kampf" [...]
You're great players, skilled and all, and I'm pretty sure that all "Mercs are assholes" thing is overdone, from what I've seen. Just don't give "Mercs' haters" reasons to be right.
NO YOU ARE THE LIER HERE. After I said the phrase "do you like mein kampf" (where does it say here that I am chocolate chip cookie?) I was banned the next second without any warning, without any explanation. In the ban log it said permaban. however, after several hours I managed to log in to the risen server again, only to be told by ur admin that from now on I am permabanned, and again was banned the next second. This time really permabanned.
SO YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE BULLSHITTING HERE MAN!

Hi
As Im the only non-merc in this post mentioned, I think I should answer.
When Olwen nominated me (because I was hunting mercs,he said), I checked the banlist. As the banlist gets capped off to not make the loading times too bad (its very bad, takes about 5-10 minutes to load), it only goes back to january. I could find 4 mercs (included one without merc-tag) that Ive banned. As some of the mercs have (not all, just some) accused me of a witch-hunt against mercs, I just wanna show the numbers. I have on some evenings banned more than 4 players (mostly leechers), so 4 mercs is a pretty low number.
Why do I show this number? Because I want to make it clear, Im not going after mercs.
I dont think you can find any posts or irc-quotes of me accusing the merc-clan as a whole to be against me (or other admins), but that a group inside the mercs is. I know several mercs I got the deepest respect for and Im not trying to generalise you as a whole. But, and theres a but here. You are like the only clan who _dont_ care about your reputation. That does reflect badly on you.
I was accused of threating mercs different than non-mercs not long ago, as I would give mercs 3 day bans and non-mercs 1 day bans. This is not true. 90% of my bans are 3 day bans, and only on special incidents I give more or less (especially if people show regret or understanding of the ban, I reduce the time, if they insult me or shows they dont accept the rules, I extend it).
To be clear, when I admin, I ignore nicks. If I find someone whos doing something so bad they need a ban, I first ban, THEN check their history (still ignoring their history) to decide if they are repeaters who need some extra cooldown. Some mercs, I wont mention names, are repeaters, and they get extra time. I dont think this have applied to mercs yet tho.
There are some admin-to-admin stuff here too, as mercs have a lot of admins. I wont comment these incidents.
And join who exactly?The Lumberjacks ofc
how many of current admin will be rdy to not play for admin only? i think 5%
I havent read the whole thread, but i found this picture and I think it is enough for this XD :P
but this stands for almost every clan if say fallen or DRZ had clan members that do stuff that people dont like then they will be judged by those players actions+1
like when i was in 22nd i made them look bad without noticing but now i can see that i did and i regret that but what im trying to say is that you cant stop people from thinking what they want to .
+1I think it shouldnt. Most clans actually care about their reputation and dont really accept players that are major assholes or rulebreakers, because it reflects bad on them. I think its a responsibility of clans to make sure their players are not misbehaving and I think its also a good thing that major douchebags might have a hard time to get/stay in a clan. So I think that when a player from a clan isnt being nice and he doesnt get corrected by his clan I have the right to reflect that on the clan itself.
And good post Oberyn, this school of thought needs to be applied to all clans from now on.
Well what can i say, there were no major assholes and rulebreakers in the Mercs when i was around.......I've always said that Lolwen and Bloberyn were too soft for leading such a bunch of wild scumbags, douchebags, cutthroats and scoundrels. I mean - allowing Vicious to post on forums without a personal advisor/translator ? Recruiting people like Jambi and Bjord (yeah i vouched for him before he showed his real face)? These are only a few examples, i could go on for the rest of the day. :twisted:
You lads weren't so soft when i met you. :twisted:
I blame you for recruiting Siiem, that ultimately lead to this. I HATE YOU, I HATE ALL OF YOU CROATIANS.
Siiem is sad panda.
Here, have a cookie.THOSE COOKIES WAS MEANT FOR YOU NEMETH!!!

@Vicious
Not only do you completely miss that UO is WAY different from c-rpg especially when it comes to doing GM/Admin work, you also ONCE AGAIN fail to see the point of this...
You are still not a victim here.
Good way to solve your problems: Become a full time admin.
I am pretty sure if you ask the staff if you can stop playing and just admin the servers there won't be any problems, until you do that stop requesting that other admins do it.
---
I can only repeat it once more for everyone: If you have a problem with an admin the first thing you should do is get on IRC (http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=mount%26blade-crpg) and talk to him if that fails take it to some other admin.
Dragging it out into the forum EVERY SINGLE TIME causes drama and nothing else.
If you need help on the server and no one is reacting to your in game chat: Get on irc and ask for admin help.
This will be my last post in here.
I'm sure it won't take a week until the next drama comes up...
Siiem is sad panda.
