Title: Servers, where it is a waste of time to play:
Post by: theRifle on April 24, 2007, 07:56:08 pm
Hey - we can start a list of servers where better not to play 'cause of idiotic admins:

2 suggestions:

1. ^discordianServer : No admin at all, deconning kiddies
2. [TnG] Server: Idiotic admin ([MEG]Kevin@TnG) ... Kicking people because they are better than himself.

Title: A server/admin rating would be cool ...
Post by: theRifle on April 24, 2007, 08:34:53 pm
Next to ping a number which shows the server-rating:
1 for "Top"
5 for "Worst" ....

... ok ... just kidding :-)

Post by: n00b pl0x on April 27, 2007, 05:08:21 am
well...to go on topic (yes i know a new place for me)

i would have to say hawre's

ive played about the same # of games on s11 as on hawres (somewhere around 10) and ive been abused by pol 0 times. idk why, but he doesnt seem to do anything to me or anyone else while i am there. On the other hand, every time i go to hawre's either solilo, hawre, or secunder come on eventually, and abuse and/or act like dicks.

Also, this one isnt really directed as much at the server as one senior admin there, but hes almost always on. trem.tjw.org. theres an admin there called mh1 hazard who somehow got admin and thinks everyone who picks up a md is aimbotting. he also seems to like to call random kick votes on people (seeing as how he cant figure out how to !kick properly, lol)

also, ill have to nominate my own server. im an asshole and mainly use it to just screw around with bugs with friends, so when someone else comes on and tries to play a real game i dont respond too well. (luckily its only up for like 30 mins every 3 weeks or so)

High-playercount, high-BP servers play as differently from "pure" Tremulous as most of the mods do. I'd personally be satisfied they were treated as a mod and thus had some form of notice on first connect to tell newbs that this a mod, not "Tremulous" proper, and they shouldn't judge the actual game based on it or expect that things they learn there will transfer over to the game proper when they try to play elsewhere.

I'm all for the "diffrent strokes" argument, but I also think that people new to the game join these servers for the high playercounts and gain a wrong impression that they are representative of the gameplay that Tremulous as a whole has to offer.

moving back to topic, every server is pure shit and waste of time. There was some good servers long time ago but they all shut down. This thread explains why.
Title: Servers, where it is a waste of time to play:
Post by: theRifle on April 27, 2007, 03:40:07 pm
I think it would be more useful to mention only servers without ANY admins or heavy admin-abuse (slapping for fun, kicking without reason, ...).

SST might be different (I dont know - I don't play there, as I have to high ping) - but obviously there are admins which handle the server in their way. So I personally would not say, that it is a waste of time to play there - there might be people who like these settings (very much players, high-BP,...)

But that's it isn't it. Admins ,and not servers, are by specification bad.

I like lava's idea best i guess. A few additional columns in the browser showing bp, timelimit and ff is useful since that is what defines servers' gameplay.

I've been trying my best for that idea for a while now too. It's not really a matter of adding the columns in the UI. The info isn't sent in the first place.

Hey, i'm no coder, just a mapper. And iirc 1.2.0 is receiving a browser facelift so i don't know what we'll get.

Actually, quite a bit of data is sent, including timelimit, etc.

I love how people say that they don't care about something, and then proceed to waste their time and energy composing a response about how much they don't care, including their thoughts on a topic they profess not to care about.

Seeing as this topic has degraded into a complete flamewar, not over sst or any one server, but among forum users towards each other, i will be locking it soon unless it gets cleaned up.

PS: They are just words on a website. Fucking pixels coded by fucking bytes sent over a fucking network between fucking boxes of silicon and metal, nothing more. Fights on the internet are stupid, purely stupid. The internet was designed to be anonymous, and thus you cannot attack someone for something you know nothing about.

Ok, im ending this flamewar. All the flamey posts have been split off and put in their own topic. That topic has been locked. The purpose of this thread was to simply point out what servers are not good to play on for legit reasons, like no admins, etc.

The Potato patch. I used to like it it is fun Wonko's cool. I've allways avoided it for one reason though. Neckhole. Probably one of the most abusing admins I've seen yet.  :-?

Although I hate to pick on admins, they make or break the server.  And other than Pol, I have to agree

Neckhole doesnt tolerate idiots. Which is why it is my favorite server. As long as you don't act dumb and follow the rules, hes a nice guy. As long as I'm there, I don't have to deal with idiots, which is enough for me to play there.

dead people..hmm

u knew if your soul will be ejected from your body before your lifespan hits the end u become...vampire. so "dead dude" will do but "lifeless price" sounds a bit more adequate.

at the beginning i thought its cool but being pale is so passe in europe these days.only goth chicks are hot for me but it only works one way.japanice goth-lolis thats a turn on and all that manga vampires stuff.i am sure they would make me a fucking j rock star but unfortunately i don't have  money for the ticket to tokyo."R.I.P" does not look good in cv so i am kinda running low on cash.sombody could say "turn into a bat and fly"
1-it is such a bullshit
2-have u heard about motherfuckin bat that made the distance europa-japan?
to make it worst i went to doctor and i am saying that i am "no life king" etc. and he tells me to quit smoking."i am fuckin dead"- i reply and he says -"cant do nothing about it but smoking harms your skin"...and indeed it does.so this is my 6h without cig and i feel like  fuckin killing somebody but if i did and got life sentence?that would be bad since i am immortal but fuck immortality i am cute pale and skiny.u knew what they do to guys like me in jail?immortal gangbang-now way.

sorry I've got carried away

so if u are poor european don't play on s11

I commend this guy for listening to public opinion. Good work man. I think we should be careful when we are labeling bad servers, because a lot can change if you speak with the right authorities. We don't want to stain them with a negative image just because of one admin.

S11 has never stolen any of my GUIDs, I don't see how you all accuse Pol of theft if only some of you have witnessed it.
I'd have to say the Rev clan server is the worst, whenever I go in there I see a bunch of admins using layout to get stuff including turrets for free, slapping people silly for killing them, kicking feeders on their own team only, and banning people in clans they lost matches to.

Okay I was in shock for a moment there due to Morx' . . . um . . . "genius".
Stealing a GUID is like stealing a credit card number, you can use it anywhere as long as you have the information while the owner still has the original. Imagine a GUID is a credit card, if you have the number you can buy  stuff online, where with a GUID you get admin on servers that the original had it on. Understand?

hey I could use a little clarification
on the big pubservers I can see !layout for stability, to discourage t3h grieferz
but on a clan server i figure it's at the discretion of t3h admin
if they abuse i stay away
sometimes it's necessary on a small server for training
imho
