Banned foe using EMP granades

[molinaalexis]

The server "TIMELESS GIBRALTAR" has banned me for using EMP granades, as far I know is part of the equipment provided by DICE and EA.

What can be done about it, I think is unfair, and a clear abuse of power

Re: Banned foe using EMP granades

did you by chance throw them at commander assets?

Nope, just to the opose team (enemy), It was very efficient the enemy was retreating from the walls close to our spawn point

Bad admins.

Even if you do throw them at commander assets - it's a legit tactic, albeit suicidal and pretty much a waste of time.

Timeless gibraltar server rules are no emp spam, it's written very clearly on their server entry page. Maybe you should take it up with them at www.timelessgaming.com - however I wouldn't make arguing with their rules setup part of your appeal Don't like a servers rules, don't play on the server - and it's not an abuse of power given that as said, you were given ample warning beforehand if you actually read the server rules before joining.

Oh, and emping infantry has much the same stats-padding effect as emping commander assets.

Here's what you can do about it - pull a gun and shoot some enemies instead of spamming emp's at them to no real gain except teamwork-point-farm.

You wold not call bullets spamming the use of a pistol or any other weapon, the EMP granedes are part of the arsenal as are the bombs of the sniper as much as i don like them jumping arround and trowing them and killing lots, I would not have a go against them.

What it seems like. is Battlefirls 2142 has become the less free gaming game I ever has played, many rules many people deciding what is aceptable or not, remindme the rule of the COMUNIST PARTY IN CUBA OR IN THE EX SOVIET UNION, you seem to be and advocate of such lack of freedom.

Quit whining to me about it mate, personally I don't give a damn I'm just pointing you in the right direction. Go to their website and take it up with them but a word of warning - I can guarantee you that if you try and debate their rules with them instead of just admitting that you IGNORED them (which is WHY you were banned) - you will remain banned.

You're turning a molehill into a mountain. Simply follow the rules of the servers you play on or FIND A NEW SERVER. I don't understand what is so difficult to comprehend about that. All I advocate is having some shred of respect for the people who pay for and run the servers that I play on. I'm guessing you've had no prior contribution towards the financing or running of timeless-gibraltar, so seeing as YOU'RE a guest in their home, why don't you have some humility and take off your shoes, they're covered in dog-crap, and they want to keep their carpet clean.

"oh no woe is me I'm banned all servers are unfair and 2142 is a dictatorship I want a revolution". Get over yourself.

Re: Banned foe using EMP granades

The all and initial point is simply the lack of freedom

If the designer of the game put there an EMP granade it is an abuse of power the supression of the use of the asset EA and DICE put in to your arsenal.

and about the dog crap I take that as an abuse, you have no rigth to talk to me like that, I did not lack of respect any body here.

If you have a bit of decency you shoul apologize.

[Lolyn]

Re: Banned foe using EMP granades

It's clearly a metaphor, and you're being over-sensitive. No apology from me I'm afraid, just some keen advice - grow some thicker skin .

The be all and end all of the matter is that you broke some servers rules and are looking for a loophole. Well good luck finding it where plenty of others before you haven't - because if you send EA a nice email containing even a fifth of the moaning already exhibited in this thread, they'll return fire with a generic email most of us have seen before where they reinforce the right of server admins. And I still don't see you over at timelessgaming making any attempt at an appeal which leads me to believe that you're just here to whinge. You don't have my sympathy.

But here's the real deal - you STILL have failed to acknowledge that spamming EMP's at enemy infantry is a form of stats padding as it raises your teamwork points incredibly quickly and that you blatantly ignored a servers rules. YOU were wrong on base principles where-as if you found fault with server rules, you should've taken this up with them on their forums before you set about breaking those rules. The fact that you were even sitting there doing this in the first place is hilarious given out of this "massive arsenal of weaponry" you chose to use something that can't even kill people. Well, I hope that's a source of enjoyment for you. :thumbsup:

Take your moaning elsewhere, this forum isn't for "HELP ME I'M BANNED" crap, I gave you the appropriate link in my first post so chop-chop.

Lolyn:

You have been a "very decent man or woman" as I do not know you.

But the extensive use of what I would call useless words, it is very spread in your useless speech, seem you did no like what I did post, you could read the dictionary from time to time , I am sure you will find more apropiate words when debating in forums.

There are many ways to put ideas without insulting others, just take a bit more of brain work

Re: Banned foe using EMP granades

Now you're just being off-topic and breaking more rules oddly enough....

Funnily enough this forum doesn't condone/allow grammar-nazi'ism, which I'm almost certain extends to phrasing-nazi'ism. You're just upset because you came here looking for sympathy and didn't get any from me :) If you were looking for help, then you would've probably paid more attention to my first post - but here's that magical link again : www.timelessgaming.com

With risk of hypocrisy in mind - I DO find it ironic that someone so willing to point me in the direction of a dictionary has virtually no sense of prolixity, nor apparently grammatical accuracy. I accept that I employ more than my fair share of redundancy in my typing, but that's because I enjoy it. Do you enjoy typo's?

BUUUUUUUUT back on topic even though I'm guessing this topic like many of the "HELP ME I'M BANNED" topics before it won't last long.....

Put away the flaming torches and appeal your ban like a good boy, you've run out of arguments to throw at me so you're attacking my approach instead, when all of this would've been solved earlier if you actually listened to what those with any kind of experience in server administration/EA's TOC's have had to say. I call this "I came, I saw, I asked for help, I didn't like it, I moaned" syndrome.

Lolyn:

I did not ask for your help, not for your simpaty, not for your cheap insults, or your lack of decent comunication skills.

If you enjoy that kind of things, all comes from home, I was educated some how diferently, I do nowk what respect is, I also know in my flesh what lack of freedom is too.

Re: Banned foe using EMP granades

I agree with Molina to the effect that banning the use of a weapon is ridiculous and afaic against the ROE. Non pissy boy admins FTW

I agree with Lolyn to the effect that there is **** all you can do about it. If mummy has bought these dicks a server then they can administer all the ***** little rules they like. Or even just kick you off if you are kicking their ***.

Only thing you can do is find a good server and make you add to your favourites and only play on those.

I know, it is part of the arsenal at your hands and I shold not be banned the use of it.

I know also that there are more servers out there that may have more brains in the administration.

It was a pleasure to here from you, Thanks

Re: Banned foe using EMP granades

the lack of freedom as you mention is because 2142 stat system as a whole is such a big deal and that "ranked" servers have some sort of obligation to help make things more "fair" and get rid of "abuses." i don't really have a thing against EMPing infantry, but honestly it is more of a "point" generating scheme than helping you win the game. it doesn't go very far except making your opponents' screens fuzzy. if you were EMPing vehicles, it would be a very different story.
