    Well That Was Uncalled For...

    To start off with, this isn't a thread whining about bad admins or crappy servers...I'd just like some opinions about it.

    Today, on Internode's Shaqui server, I was playing as US and the round hadn't started yet. There were still about 4 players left to join and besides me, there were two other people in one clan. They were MEC and wanted to fly in the Mi-28. I wanted to practice flying around while waiting for the round to start. Note that I only wanted to practice flying, I didn't want combat. I politely asked the two clanners to leave me alone so I could practice...and they told me to f*** off, and talk to them when I became a Brigadier General. So I told them to f*** off and flew off to a corner of the map to practice the Split-S and Immelman manouvres. At that point, an admin who had been monitering us for a while gave me a warning about my swearing. OK, I swore and broke the rules. Now that was called for. I asked the admin if he could at least ask them to leave me alone so I could fly...but he told me to go practice in single player because other people wanted the chopper... (I was alone on my team)

    So, I just wanted some opinions about it. When there is no one else on your team, and the round hasn't even started, is it ok to ask if you could just fly alone, without worrying about people shooting you down? :hmm:

    Well, what about the others guys? Dont you think they'll be bored? Maybe they were practicing too. I agree with the admin, if you're going to practicing maneouvers, do it in single player. Even though the round hasnt started, you can't ask the other people to stop killing time just for you.

      I know Hedgie, but there were plenty of other targets for them to shoot. Tanks, APCs, Vods, HMMWs, RIBs, AA sites. Most of the time I was practicing hovering so they may as well have backed off to find another slow/immobile target.

          If anyone asks me to be left alone or to help them pre-game I always say yes. Its pre-game and if the server fills up quickly its gonna be what, 10 minutes max? I hate the admins being idiots during pre-game, hell I even got kicked once for TK when myself and a friend had a little knifing session before the round started. Seems OTT to me as its gonna take them longer to populate.

              Internode are pretty good servers. It's not like you were kicked, so don't stress about it :)

              And yeah, some people get way too anal about pre-game. I was in Jalalabad once, 3 guys, all on the US team. I was a squad leader, this guy joined my squad, and since we were all TKing each other, I TKed him. I've never heard someone go off their nut as bad as this moron did.His vocabulary was very limited. He was undoubtably the biggest moron I've ever met on the net. Naturally I kept on TKing him.

                    Isn't it how it goes on most servers though? You'll have complete asshats ruining your experience in the game on a server, then when you get pissed and start throwing around insults or swear words - suddenly you're the bad guy! "Cussing" (who the hell uses that word, LOL?) is taken more seriously on many servers than players being jerks.
