Thread: strange

Because I have done some spectacularly stupid things myself (maybe one or two), I always forgive, unless I am certain the TK was intentional and might affect the outcome of the map if the weenis is allowed to roam free. In most cases, I don't think punishing really helps the team, morale, or points, or helps in most respects really. I believe if you get punished a certain number of times, you get kicked, but I don't know the number. Easier to tell an admin.

I get TK'd about four times a round on flags, by friendly arty, jets, or grenade spammers. This is because I pathologically run around trying to cap flags. I realize they are not trying to prevent the team from capping the flag, so why punish?

Who hasn't had a grenade hit something and bounce somewhere unexpected? Shot a suspicious looking sniper? Gotten really confused on Mashtuur about which gas station you are at and knifed your own commander? (OK - I haven't done that one either that I will admit to openly, but I have blown up my own UAV).

It really does piss me off when a squadmate punishes. Early on in my TTP experience I was in Elk's squad when someone in the squad punished him for a TK on Karkand. Is there a way to record voice? The indignant stream of 'feedback' the guy received was quite entertaining (as it was not directed at me).

budday that is probably the funniest thing I've read in my experience here at TTP. Thanks for making my day.

Forgive me for asking...but when you do punish someone for a TK....what exactly happens?

I know I always click do not punish, simply because I'm aware accidents happen a-plenty.

I think it makes their score even more negative.

And either with enough punishes or a negative amount score, you get kicked.

I do punish for team kills, but only the kind that kill our entire squad while making a move on the Airfield at Wake.

I get punished on occasion, and it's usually a wake up call for me, telling me that Hey, I should have been more careful.

The punishes I don't like are the ones I have less control over, LAND MINES AND CLAYMORES; but even those teach me a thing or two about better placement.

Noobs punish cause their just unaware of any type of mutual understanding on the battlefield.

You'll never see me punish if a squad mate were to accidentally kill me during the heat of the battle, as that's E-war. My only question would be, "Did you get the enemy bastard too?".
