The Torzelan Saga: Tooting the Tifs \m/
What did I do wrong?
Having callvote kick and no force team balance
No really, nobody is throwing mud at your server, just at some of the people there.
As you said yourself, your server is a nice place to come and relax a bit, shoot a bit, and generally have fun.
And i dont find it fun when im fooling arround, and then some idiot like "anticamper patrol" comes over and starts teamshooting me for, god forbid, defending the flag.
I did play often there, with 4 out of the 5 admins Tifs mentioned. They didn't kick me or insulted me. Well, Gezooh asked me to actually capture the flag and not just rail-defend.
Maybe it's not important, just wanted to leave note..

U just have no heart. May be rail instead of it. Hope all those people who post here as well and glorify and support you entirely, got a heart though. Somewhere deep inside.
Nice retort, crushing. All server admins, watch and learn. Closing your eyes and walking away from problems is the way of the future.
Look at yourself here. You see? They're already laughing of you. Everyone is understanding where the problem is but you. Please find a heart and come again. Thanks.
Why i rent servers?
- Because i want to have a place where i have fun to play.
Why i take care of peoples needs?
- Because i dont want to have servers where i dont find people to play against.
Sometimes it is hard to be an admin of a popular server, because as more people u have on your server as more complaints u get. For example, i am allergic on the word "lag". Even if the people just mean that "they" lag, i take it often as critic on the server. But i have to live with it. But there are also people with serios problems on my servers.
Especially people from poland with adsl and people from sweden had higher pings as they should have. For example SWE-Saint had a ping of 150, while he had on a other server on the same location a ping of 60. I did contact the server provider, i did contact people with bad connections, and we didnt had a solution for months, and this really got on my nerves, because the serverprovider didnt found any mistake. Last week we installed a new linux-kernel, because our Main-Server-"Admin" found out, that the old kernel isnt optimized for gameservers. And since we installed the kernel, people like SWE-Saint dont have a ping of 150 anymore, they have now arround 60. And this is a point again, why i have fun to be admin, when we found finally a solution after months.
I also have people with who i have personall problems, but this is no reason for me, to kick/ban them. I also have wordfights with the ones or others. But all this has nothing to do with the servers, and i let them be.
And if i c, how much work i have to keep the servers "good" and "clean" and "free" of morons i am sad to c u "tiffs" how u handle ur server. All that work to have a server, where new players, who have simply a good aim, get kicked by callevote and admins, just because they have a good aim.
The callvote-command is pretty variable. While u can allow the poeple to vote maps, u can dissallow at the same time to callvote for kick. And this is the point i really want to suggest you. Dissallow callvote for kick. "k" and "b" are commands just for admins or refs. Give ur admins and refs a clear guidline to avoid problems.
Personally i run 3 popular servers:
- 2!S Freeze, my most important baby pb and pure 24/7
- 2!S 1on1, pb and pure 24/7
- 2!S FFA!, My newbiecatcher to bring fresh meat to the mod (no pb and no pure)
- 2!S TDM, currently a server i dont know what to do with, but i will find something for it.
And if something happens on one on this servers, i am pretty happy if someone reports it to me. Sure it is better via PM, but also via public discuss, i have the chance to show, that i take the interests of people serios.
Anyway tifs, its your server u can decide.
So! Let's stop. The only thing there is now is that you either read what people are saying, or not. Either way, you have told me to not come back, and I have promised not to. Nothing more to achieve over here.
- THE END -
*lights fade in*
hurrah! (unsubscribing from the topic...)
Heh, hi InfiniTop. That's a mighty hypocritical post you got there, well done
Yeah thanks, we know. Now on to the last ten percent of your post.
Selective reading rules. Don't put words in my mouth and don't complain about certain parts while ignoring other larger ones.
Let's use the word "mud" as it seems popular. Now, the "mud" I spread... Do you know what it consists of? It consists of the players and THEIR acts, and this would be very clear to anyone. If they behaved better and more mature, what I would spread would be something else. You get what you give, but know what? I'm repeating myself, though only as it seems you missed it the first time. To put it even simpler: If I played there, and they didn't do all the dumb crap they do, I wouldn't say they do it. Whoa, what a concept ey.
I will not apologize for calling names in this case when they so thoroughly earned it. This fine, proud family can stand for their actions, right?
Directly insulting the admins - yep. Same thing as above goes; you get what you give. If there is doubt, I have already mentioned that I have more recordings and screenshots of how they handle things. How THEY, as ADMINS, deliberately mess the teams up and start shouting only when they are at disadvantage. How they abuse their status to make the server their own little playground by threats ("you know i can ban you, right?" (c) FASTER) and randomly kick every now and then when no rule in the world has been broken except for possibly some unwritten "Thou may not get this score in this amount of time; for it is Impossible."
Directly insulting the server owner? Which part? The "T.i.f.s is a really cool dude"? Or "As I have been careful to state at all times, you are alright"?
Wait. So where's the part where you are not forced to like what I'm writing here then? Hey, if you want, you can "go away anywhere you like. And close the door, when you do."
Yep, it's all good, butterflies and sunflowers and free cookies for all. ...then why are you complaining about uh, "my liking"?
THANK YOU for adding this, for it is the very foundation of what makes you look clueless and defends everything I have said.
Hint: What have I received in mad quantities in there, which is the source of all this?
While thanking you for all the times YOU personally have also accused me of cheating, I'll let your own ending be mine aswell.
P.S - Yes mad, this should most definitely be split
