Abuse of Power

[tZork]

Personaly i dont get why ppl even care abt typefrags that mutch. i mean its nice to try to avoid i guess, but if the not dying matters *that* mutch dont stop and type. The only thing i get seriosly enoyed at teammated by, in public games, is when some obviosly experianced player act stupid (lasering teammates away from pickups, ignoring team messages etc). Its nice that some public ctf servers have added "ffa" to their names. we should remeber what that abversion means. i strongly encurage ppl who wish to play a more "highlevel" game to participate in pickupgames and/or ladder games.

I have read all these posts and I find them interesting, I always thought lasering teammates was a good thing to do when I was fc'ing and needed say, a rocket launcher that some unconscientous teammate of mine was taking.

Most people do not realize how important those things are for capping quickly.

I am def guilty of lasering teammates and was not aware it was much of a problem, as I have always figured those people would have the time to stop and think why I needed to get my hands on some quality weapons, but I realize now that is not the best thing to do.

I guess I just expect galt's to be more team oriented when the reality is that it is far from it.

As far as switching teams, the scoreboard design means I have to actually stop and count for like 10 seconds to see if my team is 9v7 and thus switch over.

I usually stay on the losing team no matter what, I rarely quit in the middle of a game unless I get this confounded driver error I will be posting about soon in the tech help forum.

There really is no way to get better if you leave when your losing or switch teams and end up unevening things anymore.

If anything wouldn't it make someone proud to know they were on a team and all their newbie teammates and maybe one other good person was able to defeat a stacked team???>

To me that makes me feel great and I think it helps the newbies feel good to. I mean think about it, if a team full of newbs that is still trying to get to a point where they can frag someone like Icarus competitively without getting run into the dirt, wins against a stacked team with only one or two guys helping them, it would prolly make them feel really good.

They could say to themselves "HEY WE BEAT THAT TEAM!".

For me nexuiz is all about the team.

I am kind of with nifrek on the BDE guys thing too, they had some good potential but it's too bad they cannot refrain from seriously stirring the pot when it's empty.

Also, I would defend the act of spawnraping if my fc is explicitly going to grab the enemy's flag as it immobilizes the other team.

I usually only spawn rape when I have amp and try to do it when I have an FC about to go in, as in this scenario it is not about an easy way to point whore so much as it is about my FC getting back to the base with no trouble.

Just wanted to make that distinction on spawn raping, as if done correctly (as in don't spend half the game spawn raping people behind the base on Facing Worlds just for the fun of it) it is a legitimate if disgusting tactic.

For me playing middle/wingman or FC is where CTF is at in nexuiz.

Middle/wingman being my fav, and as such I usually enjoy fragging the begeezus out of people who cross mid, ESPECIALLY when my FC is coming back home to score.

Also, I am not the rev0 that Obi kicked as I can be quite an ass at times.

IMVHO people type WAY to much in this game.
Some players seem to use the damn game as a chatroom with a game going on in the background .
I don't intentionally typfrag but I will if some one is in my base, these people seem
to try to control the game to their advantage by typing so they are "safe"

I have been in games with 16 players where 50% of them are typing..
it's ridiculous

[Sepelio]

I tend to chat quite a lot... I generally seek proper cover though but sometimes being typefragged by a noob just happens and you shout at them and get over it. This incidentally involves even more typing...

As for team mates shooting me off weapons it annoys me severely. I have sought vengeance before and lasered people into lava or void. If I team kill accidentaly I usually apologise unless I dont realise.

If I want to go into a long chat, I spec, knowing full well I'll lose my score.
I get annoyed when players laser me simply because they want a weapon or ammo. Its very selfish of them. II am tempted to laser teammates when they double-up on the same weapon or knowingly steal health/armor from their FC.

The only time that's acceptable, is if that player just spawned, and you just took a weapon that they needed more. FC doesn't need weapons, but I can understand if he needs health/armor.

A number of times I've seen this: I just spawn and go to the nearest weapon. I'm lasered by a teammate who takes the weapon and runs off while the base is under attack.

What I meant to say earlier was, I hate when players take two of the same weapon. Again, someone just spawns and needs a weapon...they see a teammate with a nex take another nex in addition to all the nex ammo

Ok as a master of Galt's Gulch servers I've been accused of abuse of power recently. I want to know if what I did was wrong. Here's usually how I respond:

I myself, as one who has been at the brunt of your abuse at one point or another, decided that that original person you were referring to with this note was in the wrong. On the same note though, you do abuse power. I have watched you kick others off. Warning people if they shoot you(even if they are on the other team) you will kickban them. You have kickbanned me on multiple times without warning. You are not a very fair player and I personally think you should have your master status yanked from those of us that enjoy Galt's as what it is, a game. Not "See-How-Big-A-Bitch-Obl can be"

[PCLizard]

I've never seen Obl abuse master. I agree with Obl's rules and how Obl handled the situation. GJ Obl

On a side note:

FatherBadTouch: Wtf are you talking about? Obl is a fair player, and does not abuse master in anyway that I've seen. How 'bout we play "Let's see how far FatherBadTouch can go with that post".

Sorry to say, you've never been on his bad side. He likes to hold a grudge over something that was SUPPOSE to be humourous.
