General Discussion / Re: Admins, you need to chill

A lot of us have gen 1 alts. You'd be a fool to think we don't remember those days, and an even bigger fool for thinking anyone ever has sympathy in this game.

Haha, if you can't manage sympathy for people just trying to figure out a video game with no tangible rewards, then you're probably emotionally stunted.  And I'm sure all that money and items you earned with your main character doesn't make that process super easy.

shouldnt that look more like ?


... actually i was wondering if its really the admins who are tho one that needs to chill here ...  :mrgreen:

Not likely, considering how many rules you have in an online mod. 


Behavior rules
No offensive behavior anywhere
Remember that this is the internet. Don't be insulted if someone calls you an idiot.
No offensive character names. If in doubt about a name, pick another one.

General rules
No exploiting of any kind
NOT OK: Bypassing the autobalance
NOT OK: Using a bug to gain undeserved benefits
NOT OK: Leaving and rejoining to server to spawn more than once in a round
No intentional teamwounding/teamkilling during a round (teamkilling friends after a round ends is allowed, teamkilling random people is not)
No malicious griefing of teammates (kickspamming, blocking, etc.)
No drawing/delaying the round on purpose (i.e. running away or camping unreachable places when you're one of the last people alive)
OK: running away and shooting enemies that are reachable by projectiles
NOT OK: running away or avoiding confrontation when there is nobody to shoot in range or everyone is behind cover.
NOT OK: running away or avoiding confrontation to search for ammo
No abuse of in-game chat (racism, insulting, griefing...)
No random kick/ban polls. Always specify reason before starting a poll
OK: poll-kicking a leecher
OK: poll-kicking an intentional teamkiller
NOT OK: poll-kicking someone who involuntarily hurt you
NOT OK: poll-kicking someone because you don't like his playstyle
No leeching
OK: Being a bad player and getting no kills
NOT OK: Standing around away from keyboard. If you're away, switch to spectator mode
NOT OK: Running around without no weapon. Not contributing is leeching, naked runners don't contribute. This point does not apply to Rageball, as long as you are actually playing the game.
NOT OK: Autorunning your char to enemy to die
Glitching is allowed, being an asshat isn't
OK: hiding (e.g. in the hay)
NOT OK: hiding when last man standing (i.e. delaying)
NOT OK: using a siege shield to reach a roof that can't be reached normally
NOT OK: camping unreachable places
NOT OK: exploiting invisible barriers
NOT OK: going out of map bounds (if you can see unfinished parts of the map, then you should not be there)
NOT OK: ladderpulting
No siege equipment spam
OK: Planting ladders to get to roofs or walls
OK: Blocking a door with a construction site
OK: Planting siege shields to provide cover from ranged fire
NOT OK: Creating a weapon rack and spawning more than a few items to block movement
If you're stuck, change team to spectators or rejoin the server, otherwise you will be considered a leecher.

Duel mode specific rules
All types of duels are allowed (ranged, mounted, shield, heavy armor...) if both duelists agree
No following or face-hugging the other duelist before the duel countdown has ran out - either hold your starting position or back-pedal if you want some distance between you and your opponent
No running away or going into unreachable places

Siege mode specific rules
No opening the gates as defender
No stopping on ladders and blocking your team-mates on purpose

And sorry if you people can't sympathize with someone who just started playing - it seems like most of you have chars so high you may not remember dying almost every 1-2nd round.  But I will use that spectator option - never really noticed it before.

So I'm apparently banned from every NA server for some reason - maybe I was away from my computer after I got killed first round of a defend the virgin round.  So I don't get back to my computer in time for the next round - just kick me.  But if you're going to act like fascists and ban everyone for not paying attention to their computer for a few minutes when the rounds can last up to 5-10 minutes, then you guys seriously need to chill out.  This game looked cool, but if admins consistently act like this then it really isn't worth being around such people.
