No doubt most of you have read Spoofs departing rant on the Savage Board as well as the Che banning incident so I think we should all do something to nip things in the bud before it all goes pear shaped.We need to implement principles that everyone should adhere to and promote them on the public servers.Lets face it,the public servers are becoming stale,particulary team mods as the win at all costs attitude is creeping in there as well.
Whats the point of being on the winning team if you outnumber the opposition by 2-1?.Whats the point of playing lpb sides v hpw sides?.Dominating a map (by fair means) is the objective of a league game, but on a public server where the score is instantly forgotten is boring and is no fun for anyone,on either side.
If we can all set a standard on the public servers then that will benefit everyone,the newbies just coming into the scene will learn teamplay and standards, and the future of the game will be brighter for everyone.Something we can take with us to Q3 to prevent that going the same way QW has gone and Q2 is going.
The usual excuses for not swapping sides are usually "Ive got a tech".Bollocks,so what.If the only people who swapped sides were the ones without techs that still leaves all the techs on one team and they still dominate the map which just causes people from the opposing team to disconnect.All it needs is a little self discipline to get things back on track.
I usually play LMCTF and I try to keep things fair and promote teamplay.
If teams are unfair and I have a tech,I go to the enemy base and drop my tech,weps,ammo,power shield etc or hide it all somewhere and pick it up when I change sides.
I have in the past dropped weps for enemy players who only have a blaster, and the thing is they respect that and don't shoot me back,well not straight away anyway
.
I never shoot respawns,either salute them or give them a wep and only last week nobody would swap sides so I took the enemy flag back and dropped all my stuff.The respect I get off players for fair play means more to me than respect for 0wning.
There are always gonna be wankers who have to cheat cos they are crap and at the moment there is a bot out that bypasses the BW .dll.Its clan [RAT] (rhymes with twat) that are plagueing the LM server at the moment with their ratbot and the usal response from everyone on the server is to give them shit,yet these same people refuse to swap sides to make the teams even.Double standards if u ask me.
As for the people who still cheat even though they are good,well that's even worse than the bot users.If they have to rely on an unfair advantage to beat someone the question arrises as to how good they think they are in the first place.The incident with 'Che' using a hacked exe to overcome FPS capping and being banned from the Savage league for example.Im not saying 'Che' is crap,far from it,but surely he must be thinking was it worth it.He can more than hold his own without it and thats what pisses people off.I remember reading something Flex wrote on Rudes views,before it got pulled,that he had a key bound to push his rate and fps up and cycle through different skins so that when he met a modemmer he would just freeze up and become easy meat.Im sorry Flex but thats just lame,surely your skill and ping is enough and having to rely on disabling your opponent to kill him just stinks of the 0wn attitude that Spoof wrote about.
Anyway,thats my view on things and hopefully some of you may take it upon yourselves to set a standard and stick to the number one rule of 'Its only a game'.
Maybe someone can set up a Fair Play site with a set of rules and a logo.Clans whose members abide by it can then stick the logo on their site and boot out any members who break the rules.Just a suggestion..
P.S. Nice new webboard,made me laugh when it emailed my random password and it began UNR...
