Two Disappointments

***COMMANDER*** · 08-31-07, 12:34 PM

anytime you see 7 or more players in a squad, that is the Squad bug and somebody thinks they are in the squad because it shows them in a SQUAD, however they are not...... When an Admin is looking at he players from his Admin screen, He can tell who is in a SQUAD and who is not..... I feel very confident, you had the Squad bug and the Admin did his job and removed the players that were not squading up.....

laggy,

It's pretty straightforward to answer this:

1) I use smoke as part of the nadestorm, when I carry it, because it prevents the attackers from being able to accquire targets as they round the corner or see grenades on the floor and time their entrance. After all, it's not like we're accquiring direct fire, should we let them? The smoke also has a radar thingy in it, and when our support guys don't see fit to put up a sonar, it's the only thing that creates an image. Finally, it allows me to save my frags for a frag surge if the enemy surges. If QL didn't like it, or others didn't, they had merely to say so. Is kicking the "new way" to communicate a change of tactics? Also said, does the use of smoke now constitute wilfull sabotage of a defense?

2) As for whether or not I was squaded, if I wasn't, then I guess I ran with QL the whole time, rezzed and healed his men, but he chose exactly then to complain that I was "hanging around"? I'll grant you that it could be true, given that there were seven people in the squad, but I think you have to grant that from my point of view at the time, it looks pretty suspicious.

3) Finally, this wasn't my first visit to your forum, it was my first POST on your forum. I've enjoyed reading your forums as a guest, and found them notches above the usual "ZOMG my sploit beats your sploit" catalogs. I didn't see that I had much to say that hadn't already been said. Until then.

I save my temper tantrums for my momma. But I have no reservations about issuing integrity checks as needed. The difference between TTP and HAF is one of integrity only. I'm satisfied with your answer, especially given commander's helpful comments about the bug and the fact that you did the kick though you were on MY team. But I don't hesitate to call it as I see it.

"Don't walk by" somebody taught me.

Ok, then we are all good then.

I think everyone sees where we are coming from as far as admins are concerned.

I will lock this post unless someone brings another issue up.

I look forward to killing you soon.

Someone taught me to see through the bullshit, and the insults.

#1. quick lightning is NOT an admin, and has NO power, whatsoever, to kick you, or even warn you. Neither does "our boy jawbreaker" who I guess you think is hacking. Who the fuck is jawbreaker? Who cares....Your entire argument is based on him thinking _____ about you, and then abusing his admin powers to help him "clear the corridor" from your amazing defensive strategy.

Given he is not an admin, your entire argument is ridiculous. And insulting to those of us who ARE admins, that you now accuse of kicking because we don't like smoke grenades and teh pwnozgsozss! It's rude, and though everyone else here seems to enjoy getting spit in the face.....I sure as fuck don't. Take that shit, walk right back to HAF, or moon gamers, or whatever server you think is doing a better job, and stay there. Maybe they let you push them around......but here......you are nothing. What makes it worse is that you are nothing who dreams up an abusing admin has made you something, so that now you are something...you can come in here and smack us around, talk tough, and spit in our faces.

Problem is...that entire assumption was invalid, making you a clown.

#2. The difference between TTP and HAF is integrity?
Where are the HAF servers? http://www.game-monitor.com/search.p...er&location=US
I know some of the HAF guys. I played on the BF2 HAF server long before TTP even existed. The difference between TTP and HAF is that we're running 5 games, 7 public servers, a ridiculously large amount of forum and game server traffic, highly ranked instances of every game we're playing (well....except arma...but that's different). Even Moongamers....with their bloated pile of 24/7 servers http://www.game-monitor.com/search.p...ll&order=grank .......feel free to spend your time in servers that are dominated by people willing to play the same map, over and over, in it for the medals and the stat points, rather than the team.

TTP does all this, because TTP doesn't tolerate mistakes, poor attitudes, fuck ups, excuses, or slackers as admins. Our entire strategy in making a server is "admin population FIRST"....and the players will show up later.

Coming in here, lecturing us on how we don't do a good job, when the entire lecture is based on nothing more than a thin, and weakly investigated assumption, does nothing other than to demonstrate you don't give a fuck.

And the line for the "I don't give a fuck" club is already pretty god damn long. So don't waste our time.
