Right. So arrogant server admins. I'll elaborate on ones I know of.
As you may or may not know, TerminalX runs (a) the 24/7 Camp Gibraltar Mayhem (which one?) server on 2142. Over the months I played on his server I have learned time and time again why he is the most arrogant administrator I've ever seen in my life. About a week ago I was banned from the server for questioning some of his rules in an Xfire conversation, but that's not what this is really about.
I sent him a message tonight asking why one of my buddies had been banned from the server, and it lead to this conversation. Make of it what you will.
LOTS OF TEXT YOU PROBABLY DONT WANT TO READ BELOW
terminalreality1: ???
KomradeVirtunov: What did Nightmare do to be banned for X period of time?
terminalreality1: UM stat padded multiple times using the armor in the uncappable
terminalreality1: I even UN-banned him when Lynch begged me to give him a 3rd chance
KomradeVirtunov: That's not the actual definition of 2142 stat padding.
KomradeVirtunov: That's just camping.
terminalreality1: took him all over 1 map to go right back to stat padding
terminalreality1: OK lets just say this ..it takes ZERO skilz to sit in a Mec walker and shoot players before they are ready
terminalreality1: BAsic newbishness
KomradeVirtunov: well, technically they have two spawns, 3 rorsches, and 24 potential engineers.
terminalreality1: It says Vet server for a reason.........we like skilled players on all three of our servers
terminalreality1: For you even try and justify that silly *** newbie play just shows me why you would do the same thing
KomradeVirtunov: I would use the walker for what it was made for.
terminalreality1: Very simply put......takes zero skillz and is padding the players numbers artificially
KomradeVirtunov: I disagree.
KomradeVirtunov: Its quite easy to kill a walker if your team isnt completely incompetant.
KomradeVirtunov: And your commander isnt in special ed.
terminalreality1: Thats fine..just cough up half the money the server costs every month and Ill give you some input
KomradeVirtunov: Now, that isnt a positive mentality.
terminalreality1: We pay the light bills..I gave the newbie THREE opportunities to just follow ONE basic rule
KomradeVirtunov: I don't know, I believe there's more to it than that considering you banned me for a conversation we had on Xfire.
terminalreality1: If anything he disrespected Lunch and all of -=Ca=- by going right back in after they vouched for him still did it
KomradeVirtunov: Now
KomradeVirtunov: Where was he "camping"
terminalreality1: UM ask all of them.........uncappable
KomradeVirtunov: I know you like to think anywhere in front of harbor flag is stat padding
KomradeVirtunov: Well yes, but where?
terminalreality1: Look.......I think anyone that has to use armor on players before they even are ready to to defend them selves is simply unskilled
KomradeVirtunov: You banned me once for sitting 200m to the west of the uncap, completely out of range of their spawn unless they jumped over the wrecked boat
KomradeVirtunov: That wasnt "killing before they're ready to defend themselves"
terminalreality1: Simply put the Mec walker would do just fine near the harbor flag and stands there to hold and defend the harbor flag.........after Harbor is taken. Then the walker can go anywhere but back to the uncappable
terminalreality1: Armor vs any infantry is not fair.......but as they spawn in theres atleast a few sec they will DIE before they can RUN for cover
KomradeVirtunov: You still didnt mention why me sitting 200m to the west is uncap camping too.
KomradeVirtunov: Since they can spawn safely from a mech's wraith
terminalreality1: You should look at this as a good thing actually now youll have company to play beginners newbie friendly fire off servers together
terminalreality1: You both can get UNREAL points
terminalreality1: I am VERY fair, consistent and realistic about what we offer......
KomradeVirtunov: You know, you honestly think your server is so special. Yes it's one of the better servers in terms of players.
KomradeVirtunov: But its still filled with newbies
terminalreality1: then Iam sure you and nightmare will not feel left out
KomradeVirtunov: Its no different than any other 24/7 infantry map server
KomradeVirtunov: Why do you act so arrogantly toward rules that make no sense and then not be able to explain it logically?
terminalreality1: Great , iam sure nightmare appreciates not being able to play real games.........no worries bro Just wanted to take a minute and answer your question
terminalreality1: If I go into a resturant and the sign at the door says...No shirt, no shoes, no service. Why would I complain when they kick me out for not being able to understand common sense
KomradeVirtunov: You go above and beyond your power by even taking things from out of game. Its quite disturbing.
terminalreality1: Obviously tens of thousands of players disagree
KomradeVirtunov: Wrong arguement to use. Your rules are clear, but you enforce some other set of rules not mentioned
terminalreality1: We have had top servers in 5 games we play
KomradeVirtunov: Like, you know, the whole banning me for being 200m west of the uncap
KomradeVirtunov: It says no walkers in the uncap...
terminalreality1: some other set? it says RIGHT ON THE LOAD IN SCREEN..............Armor in uncappable = kick / bann
KomradeVirtunov: Being to the west of it out of view of their spawn point isnt IN the uncap
terminalreality1: I gave you multiple chances also.......
KomradeVirtunov: Also, questioning OOG = banned isnt mentioned
terminalreality1: I hardly ever bann any player the first offense
KomradeVirtunov: You still havent told me how that's spawncamping
terminalreality1: I always give players 2 maybe 3 chances
KomradeVirtunov: Because that's giving them perfect time to spawn and decide what they want todo
KomradeVirtunov: Its their decision to jump over that boat
terminalreality1: Armor sitting cammped and killing defensless new spawns = spawn camping
KomradeVirtunov: Yes, and how was I spawncamping then
terminalreality1: There is a few sec delay that allows infantry and in your case a very powerfull mec walker to kill them before they can run
KomradeVirtunov: Right, again.
KomradeVirtunov: I'm 200m to the west
KomradeVirtunov: I cant see them spawn
KomradeVirtunov: I cant even see them until they walk up the wrecked boat to jump over it to run up toward harbor
terminalreality1: Hence fourth some players mistake spawn camping for real skillz
KomradeVirtunov: That is quite not "killing them as soon as they spawn"
terminalreality1: The Mec walker shouldnt even be near uncappable for real players........more fun out dueling them in an even firefight
KomradeVirtunov: You're changing your story now man.
KomradeVirtunov: Just admit that it wasnt spawncamping.
terminalreality1: UM admit? bro all I know is I gave all 358 eight plauers on that bann list many, many chances to play like real players....with skillz. they inturned didnt take any of the warnings...and just kept at it
KomradeVirtunov: But "real" or "fake" players, you arent going to see anyone sit in place waiting for 1) the commander to emparty them or 2) the team to maybe push ahead
terminalreality1: one maybe, twice ok try and get it...three times...........is like 3 strikes you re out
KomradeVirtunov: You're not even discussing what I'm talking about.
KomradeVirtunov: Yes, okay, you've banned 358 players. Yay.
KomradeVirtunov: There's what, several hundred thousand?
terminalreality1: I think Ive given you plenty of answer from what you asked me about.....
terminalreality1: Wasnt your question why did I bann nightmare?
KomradeVirtunov: no, you've just told me how many people you've banned when I've been asking how I was spawncamping.
KomradeVirtunov: Well, you said he was spawncamping too.
KomradeVirtunov: And you never did say WHERE.
terminalreality1: You asked why he was banned...........I gave him and all of you many, many chances to just play with any real skillz
terminalreality1: Just ask nightmare bro........maybe all the others from -=Ca=- they can recap for you
KomradeVirtunov: You have a very interesting and poorly spelled version of skills
KomradeVirtunov: What is skills?
KomradeVirtunov: Nightmare said you rebanned him for no particular reason
terminalreality1: Skills = players that do not need armor to get kills
KomradeVirtunov: That's a poor reason terminal.
terminalreality1: Its on the load in screen bro
KomradeVirtunov: I'm as good on foot as I am in armor.
terminalreality1: Then why use it?
KomradeVirtunov: Because its a change in pace.
terminalreality1: so is a different game
terminalreality1: GL with that man......
terminalreality1: Play WOW or an RPG...might be simpler
KomradeVirtunov: You don't make much sense, including your definition of skills
KomradeVirtunov: So simplistic.
terminalreality1: Skills are interpetive...........some newbies think armor vs new spawns is thier definition of skills
KomradeVirtunov: Skills are your ability to shoot, work together, lead.
KomradeVirtunov: Communicate.
terminalreality1: Hard to do that from a walker in spawn bro
terminalreality1: Ability to shoot maybe...but work together or lead I think not
KomradeVirtunov: You really like to stick to your guns on that.
terminalreality1: Your definition bro
KomradeVirtunov: You consider spawncamping when you're not even in gunrange of the spawn
terminalreality1: just clairifying it a bit
terminalreality1: Utilize your own definition of skills, so far you can shoot a rifle. Now just step out of the ARMOR and work together and try to lead differently
KomradeVirtunov: Terminal.
KomradeVirtunov: You do realise I was one of the most active squad leaders on your server, right?
terminalreality1: Set a different example
KomradeVirtunov: And commanders
terminalreality1: Not my job to look at that............I simply make sure its a very clean, consistent, skilled based place to play. Other than that I try and make sure all the technical stuff is done on a timely matter
KomradeVirtunov: It
terminalreality1: Iam very, very reasonable. Hence the many, many chances I give all players
KomradeVirtunov: Well, its not the utopia you make it out to be.
KomradeVirtunov: It has as many hackers/spawnkillers/glitchers as any other major server.
terminalreality1: Even the best police force in the world needs to have criminals to have a job....guess Ill just have to keep cleaning up the city as well as I can.
KomradeVirtunov: You're not really cleaning it up, you're just the cop that pulls over one car in the line of 25 cars speeding by.
KomradeVirtunov: Many of them just victims of your strange interpretation of rules.
terminalreality1: I will always understand any criminal that says, "but I wasnt speeding I swear " I guarentee bro.all criminals feel victimized
KomradeVirtunov: So now you're defending yourself by attacking the history of others?
terminalreality1: all I can say is if you didnt read the stop sign its not our fualt bro
KomradeVirtunov: Are all convicted guilty?
terminalreality1: history?
KomradeVirtunov: Do you honestly believe every person you've banned for whatever reason you come up with deserves it?
terminalreality1: Only when the RADAR gun says you are doing 85 in a 30 zone
terminalreality1: Hard to disput what my eyes see
KomradeVirtunov: So why did you ban me for having an xfire conversation with you
KomradeVirtunov: Your eyes see what you want them to see most of the time.
terminalreality1: back on subject though.......I hope you now know why Nightmare has joined the many, many skilless exploiters in the ABYSS of the pub hopping newbies
KomradeVirtunov: Its not exploiting, it may show lack of skill during the act, all pubs are an abyss.
KomradeVirtunov: You still havent told me where he was camping either
terminalreality1: Iam very hungry and anytime you feel the need for conversation iam sure as always I'll be ready to accomadate
KomradeVirtunov: You have some fatal flaws when compared to other administrators, man.
terminalreality1: I feel the need for ......??? TTLL bro....eats then back to patroling our three servers
[annoyed rant]
Additionally, he manually balances teams during a round, randomly switching players to the opposing team. Why did I post this obviously long log? Because he gives administrators a bad name with his methods of running his server.
Also, to add some variety. the UAF clan server wins second place in my arrogant admins list for banning for camping spawn beacons.
