Idiot commanders

[MikeyC]

Yes I know this is a tired subject but recently (last night in fact) I was subjected to the cruel and unusual punishment of having an idiot commander.

He kept his VOIP on and started playing really crappy hair-band music and I went crazy trying to figure out how to shut him up. I know there's a way to mute select player VOIP channels but no combination of clicking on the speaker button in the squad screen worked. He finally started to speak and it was obvious he was a griefer so I initiated a kick vote, but that didn't work. I didn't want to give up as squad leader because we were raking in the points but eventually I was forced to disconnect and turn off VOIP, and then I couldn't get back on the same team when I rejoined.

I like to keep VOIP on because it's a powerful recruiting tool but now I think I'll leave it off because it's such a hassle when this kind of thing occurs.

And there's my rant, thanks for reading. Cheers.

There's a little Scottish boy who keeps following me round trying to get an argument over voip. I mute him, but it seems I have to do it every time. I thought that setting was supposed to be one that your client remembered.

Thanks Vreki!

In the interests of completeness: in the past the "right click to activate mouse" while you're in the tab screen didn't always work for me. Dunno if going to 2GB RAM fixed it or what, but if anyone else is having the same problem, they won't be able to get to that "Manage" tab.

I actually had the same problem.
The button to activate the mouse is not "right click", but alt fire (zoom), which some of us has mapped to another button.

What on earth is "Hair-Band Music"?

What on earth is "Hair-Band Music"?

"Metal" bands from the 80's. Here's an excellent example:

Oh and thx Vreki--I completely forgot about that screen. Now I can turn my Voip back on.

Ahh, Hair Metal.
Whats wrong with that?
I think you deliberately found the worst band of the kind, this is much better

"I wanna rock" is far from their best song, but you got the idea
Wonder if I'm gonna play some Twisted Sister for my squads next time I'm commander
and I can threaten to play Paris Hilton if they don't follow orders.

[Everdying]

Twisted Sister?
thats it, im gonna torture my whole team next time with Twisted Sister's xmas album.

The video is difficult to beat, Ill admit that.
You leave me no choice but to upgrade to some British Hair, and their different take on traditional Metal videos.
I have a feeling that they might not have been completely serious when making the video, but the music can not be beat. Sorry, there just isn't anything better.
