To quote Whalen207

"I'm not even playing, I took off all my gear and I'm just running into battle till I die and give someone a boner,"

Then,

"Man, it's so hard to play when you're blowing someone,"

Literally verbatim, there are even non-Literally people that will confirm my claims.
Just because I troll doesn't mean I don't care.

Leeching - not participating in fight, not helping your team. Is bannable offence.
Tell me how is what you do different? And just the fact that you throw two ladders to the roof at the start of the round doesn't mean you're not leeching when the remaining six minutes you do nothing for your team. And your excuse that you're under level 10 is bullshit, if every low level did that, we would have had 1/3 of the people just doing nothing on every server. You can still throw rocks, get some stuns off, grab a pike or buy a cheap sword, just DO something useful. Is it really that hard to comprehend?

Building and chilling up top is pretty neat, except when it's an archer that no one notices and he suddenly can hit you with arrows behind the wall you're hiding behind :(

Let me mention a few things. First, if you're desperate to build sexy ladder art, come to The Fallen Ones. Most of us are just enjoying the game over there, and would enjoy some beautiful ladder art between rounds. If you don't want to come, it suggests that the true purpose of your Ladder art is trolling people who are playing hardcore serious(Or you want more people to see I suppose). We really are a friendly bunch over there. Sure, I like to get a great K/D and then fap to it as much as any ATS member, but I can still enjoy some recreational ladder activity, even if I don't choose to do so myself. So come on in. The water's fine.

I find it entertaining to watch. Something strange and surprising in an otherwise ordinary Battle. It's not like it's something as serious as a strategus battle. This little venture from the norm is (mostly) harmless.

I'd just like to say, regardless of your opinion on it, I'm glad people are discussing this.  Just one thing, remember that we're all a part of a somewhat small community, so don't go pissing all over eachother just for the sake of being top internet tough guy. 

My counterpoint to the claims of leeching is that many people on the server find the ladder antics entertaining, so while I understand perfectly well that we're not helping in a conventional sense, we are contributing to the general enjoyment of the game for a majority of people on the server.  I'm happy to admit that I do this sparingly at higher levels as well simply because it's fun, which is why I play the game.  I am well aware that this doesn't conform to your preconceived notions of the 'right way to play,' but I would hazard that having some hilarity breaking up the monotony of the grind is much, much more beneficial to the health of a server's population than having an extra two people on a team for a couple maps.  Out of curiosity, did any of you ever play fun rounds in CS?

This is true
I was one of the people who helped them build even though i was on other team
Tovell was constantly tking them Also he constantly tried to poll ban
Next map when i went on his team he tried to tked me in spawn
when that failed he ladderpaulted me

anyway
Hello Master Xol

I will always follow the way of the ladder builders

Hi :)
I should really write down the way of the ladder down somewhere.

Let me mention a few things. First, if you're desperate to build sexy ladder art, come to The Fallen Ones. Most of us are just enjoying the game over there, and would enjoy some beautiful ladder art between rounds. If you don't want to come, it suggests that the true purpose of your Ladder art is trolling people who are playing hardcore serious(Or you want more people to see I suppose). We really are a friendly bunch over there. Sure, I like to get a great K/D and then fap to it as much as any ATS member, but I can still enjoy some recreational ladder activity, even if I don't choose to do so myself. So come on in. The water's fine.

I actually heard about this from KaleLord yesterday, I don't think anyone was on when I was, though.  Or else I just missed favoriting one of your servers.  Either way, sounds pretty baller.

Xol, just shut up.

Yesterday you and your Literally_Buddies (AKA LadderClan) kicked me to death three rounds in a row before I manned up and slashed a my old friend across the face.

On the topic of ladder-building, I have no objection to it. I've done it myself. Xol's an expert at this kind of thing...
On a side note... LADDERS FOR THE LADDER GOD


I take no responsibility for Literally's actions, however, I think they may have been showing you some sort of twisted form of affection.  They do that to all the peasants in the clan (including me).  Now, if you weren't a peasant, I don't know what to say.  I'm not a fan of TKing unless it's something agreed upon by both parties or if you're defending yourself.

Honestly, if it's once a round, and only one person, I don't mind that much. But when it's every round and more than one person (making those people/persons useless throughout the whole game) then it becomes irritating. It's nice that people find it amusing. I find whacking people in the face with a sword amusing. I also like seeing the rounds progress quickly, as opposed to waiting to play. And maybe I am too serious, but I play cRpg not to watch ladders, but to bash pixels. Why don't you record your ladder exploits, and then people can watch them on youtube instead of holding the round up?

So on one side we have:
"I'm so low level... might just leach to 25+... I'm sure nobody cares if I'm being counted in autobalance and might take a slot on full\passworded server."

on another side we have:
"Yeah, thats look cool! I wounder how high they can build it in one round. Hmm... that tower is getting erased every round... what's a point? Ohh I see there are 5 people making it. Damn x1 10 rounds in a row, this is going very slowly to my 31 level. God damn my friends can't join server and these guys just build the same shit over and over."

You can build cool stuff on duel server, you have much more time and respawns to build a lot of things. There is always new people connecting and they won't mind it. Share screenshots or video with community and generaly don't be a selfish ... artist.
