A bit of a rant

[Barfly]

Well thanks guys and this has been an amazing response. To be honest, I just remembered now I posted about this yesterday, and I feel a lot more better.

I'll just learn to ignore it. Now I'm off to play Nexuiz!!

I look forward to fraggin ya

yeah, unfortunately since it's a free game we get the occasional 5 year old on a server or on the forums.

[The mysterious Mr. 4m]

some people like to chat, some don't. some will insult you, either because they get easily mad or they just like to provoke others.

some tips:
disable chat by typing this command into the console (shift+esc):
con_chat 0

more settings can be found here: http://ouns.wikispaces.com/console

and you can download this PK3 to disable the "beep" chat sound:

(put it in your "Nexuiz/data" folder)

Tell me about it!

I got this guy on the server saying he was going to kill me and stuff. He was saying stuff like "I cut throat", and "I am crazy". He also did some mispellings, and I made fun out out of him, but basically, this all started there is this map where it's like Toy Story - there's a shelf, a computer, and a room basically. And on the Computer Screen, there was bender. So he asked who liked futurama. I said I did, and then he decided to announce how boring he thought it was. And then I said as a joke "I love it even more now " and basically ever since then on he was sayign stuff like "stfu" and "I'm going to kill you", and "can I sleep with your imaginary mother" and stuff (I didn't take this personally - I mean how the hell can someone find out where EXACTLY you live by playing a game of Nex, unless you've put your address on there or something similar).

And that wasn't the worst. He said at one point "I love n*****s, but I hate p*kis". Now I'm neither, but I can bet anyone who was either would definitely found that offensive, if not hurtful in some sense. This is clearly a 5/10 year old trying to make himself look hard (cue the german kid who smashes his keyboard over Unreal Tournament), but seriously, something has to give. I still didn't take this personally, but what I can't stand is blatantly racist comments like that.

I would honestly like to see more admins on the servers taking effective control of the situation to prevent idiots like that moron who lacks even half a brain cell - and that's being polite. The least I want to see done is give this guy a ban... even a semi-ban, just teach this person he can't just act like that on a server and get away with it.

His name is isee. He was on Galt's Gulch - CTF-2.4-TX,USA.

Apart from that, I've been on the game more than once, and I even got into a conversation about this bloke who compiled Gentoo on his PC! It was pretty awesome just having a discussion and not fragging (after all, at that point it was just me and him).

[John Galt]

Thanks, kregg.

I had my eye on isee, and this pretty much clinched it for me. You won't have trouble with him again

That map is called 'minimanq3' by the way. Hope you'll continue to enjoy Nexuiz and my servers!

[kregg]

Thank you so much John Galt!

I realised what the map was called after reading some posts last night and looking at nexuizninjaz.com (Thanks Mirio!) and found some videos that had the exact same map.

The community for Nexuiz is absolutely amazing. I don't think I'll ever have a problem when playing Nexuiz now


P.S. Is Galt's Gulch-CTF-2.4-TX,USA your server? There really ought to be a favourites in Nexuiz (not that I've checked )

[John Galt]

Yes, the Galt's Gulch servers are mine

You can filter by Galt to find them. I don't know of a favorites feature, I usually just filter.

Kregg, you really have to try #nexuiz.pickup @ quakenet IRC. There are not a lot US players around, but we hope that this will change these days. We europeans are using it allready frequently (at least 4 Games a day). These are overall public games with Ladderrules settings. (3v3 CTF) Because you chose teams before you start, it is more balanced then any standart public game and for me a lot more fun.
