We kick ladder builders out of our clan without remorse.

Good excuse?  Cool:
1)  You're leeching

2)  You could be contributing to your team instead of wasting their time.  Grab a pike, some rocks and try to stun, a hand axe and shield and try to break enemy shields or cover for your team.  Yes, being a meat shield is still valuable because if spazzy mcpaddington swings at you instead of me trying to get the easy kill for his KDR, I get essentially a free hit on his dumb ass and can drop him.  Like sacrificing a pawn for a rook/bishop/knight etc.

3)  You are hurting your team because if you'd just gtfo if you're not going to try and help, the autobalancer might put someone on their team that WILL try to help.

Yup, as an admin I'll kick for this crap pretty fast if you don't knock it off after I tell you to.  The reasons I just listed are more than adequate for why you're being a bastard with your ladder "art".  Go to an empty server, or go to the lljk server if you have to do this stuff.

@OP:  Wasn't there, but I wish I had been.  It would have stopped quick before escalating to the point you say it did.
And I should be nice or polite to anyone.... why exactly?

I'm gorath and I have very little reading comprehension! I also need to let my full administrative powers known! I don't care that peasants more often get in the way than help! Also, fun is not allowed when big bad gorath is on the prowl!

I would hope they've all heard of it, but that definitely is a good suggestion. Still, some want to try different artistic mediums.

The world is my canvas, and ladders are my paint.

But seriously, there's something about pulling off a good ladder-link that's pretty satisfying.  I definitely understand where people are coming from with the team-detriment stuff, though.  Perhaps doing it on a duel server would be less inflammatory.

i played with Xol all morning. they built ladders. didnt bother anyone. if they were last to live they jumped off.

yes i saw some asshole tking and catapulting the builders (f***ing prick). going out of his way to harass Xol.

also  it was actually funny watching how freakin high they get. a little fun and laughs in the game once in a while justs adds to a better game.

Ladder towers don't really bother me unless they're delaying the round. However if you're really in it for the building and not for leeching, why not do it on the duel server?

Ladders are broken anyway, as long as your not holding up rounds, or annoying people by putting ladders  on rooftops for archers,(yes melee gets upset when their friendly archers are on the roofs killing their enemies.)

Did you miss the part where we retired and are less then level 10?

What do you want us to do? Go throw rocks? Suicide? Would dying as peasants be playing "right" to you?

I got my first kill as lvl 1 on my 2h, no wpf, no PS. my main is a 1h but i have ok blocking skills allowing my team mates to finish them off, your leaching and fooling around, if i was admin id ban you right off the bat since your breaking the rules.

Hi, I'm HeroZero.  I'm a troll and ignoramus.  I classify wasting teammates time as FUN!  My fun comes at the expense of everyone else!  Don't get in the way of my fun or I shall try to mock you and claim that you're the fun police!  Grrrr.

 :rolleyes:

I read just fine:

They feel that because we level 8 peasants would better serve the team as sword fodder, meekly holding pikes in hopes of poking something for a half point of damage. 
Yes, you are better served as sword fodder, meekly holding pikes in hopes of poking someone (or some horse) and actually trying to help your team.  As I stated above.  If your only rebuttal to the points about why ladder bullshit is retarded and the least productive thing you can do for your team happens to be "BUT YOU'RE RUINING MY FUN!!! FUN MAN FUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!"  Then fuck off, go have your "fun" on the lljk server or duel server, or an empty server.  If you're on the battle server, contribute to your fucking team.
And I should be nice or polite to anyone.... why exactly?

Play the damn game. If you aren't participating in the action then you are leeching, and should be banned.

I got kills under level 10, and so can you. Suck less.

I live for the moment you're one of the last 3 on the team, and the whole of the enemy team looks up and sees you in the skybox all at once.
