lol i just had mine just then: after 4 years of trem:

A guy named firey pheonix or something was lagging, he started leaning back and we all thought he was having stationary imaginary sex, then he goes through the floor like a ghost and then my teamate said "thats why you don't do drugs." I should've taken a demo.


I take the copyright for the "dont do drugs"
Also yeah its what happens when you close trem while still connected to the server...I think
these are stupid suggestions, don't even waste our time.
I don't like your negative attitude.

That happens when you lag out.  Quitting via /quit or /disconnect gives you bubbles.

I got kicked by that guy codmium just for team shooting him a littlebit when the game was almost over.  So he kicked me for 7 days off the official U.S server.  Now I'm waiting at 4 days left.  On my other computer at my other visiting house.  Thank you for that.  I was so mad that day I'm like.  "WTF MOMENT"

TL;DR:
-You were kicked for bleeding, which is a legitimate reason.
-You'll be back anyway in 4 days.
-You got mad because you were temporarily banned from one server in one game.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for you?

ok, can you give me the tool thingy app that can code?

You know, normally I would just laugh at the people who get themselves kicked and then complain when they obviously deserved it, but if his story is correct, he doesn't. So feel sorry for him or not, you just sound a bit arrogant. Bleeding one person once is not a bannable offense. Repeated bleeding, sure, if you've asked, and kicked him first. And even then 7 days _is_ way too much time. Unless there is a serious repeat history, four or so hours is more than plenty. And for many people who play 1.2, US Official server may as well be the only server in the game. Of course, odds are pretty good he's framing this story to his benefit, but that doesn't change the fact that your arguments are stupid. (Oh yeah, 7 day ban, no big deal, well I don't think anyone wants to be unreasonably or undeservedly banned, and 7 days is a fairly long time.)

tl;dr: First off, if you don't feel sorry for someone, why are you waisting pixels typing. Secondly, at least have legitimate points.

Now look what you've made me do. Hopefully if any other admins feel 7 day ban for one bleeding is alright, they can think about that point again so we don't get complaints. (And yes, I'm sure he's lying/framing/omissing something, doesn't change your arguments in response to his points.)

To get back on topic, here's a WTF moment for me: Why does F1rst feel it necessary to hijack a thread about odd in-game occurrences to whine about a ban, instead of following procedure (which you're so keen on) and posting a thread on the matter, with a condump? That's the main reason I keep jumping on the guy, he just will not shut up about his bans (there's at least one precedent), and even if some of them are unjustified, the least he could do is post some evidence.

ok, can you give me the tool thingy app that can code?

Another WTF moment, or a few...
discovering that Japanese players on the SenGoku server (which uses the KoRx mod) like to practise "Spitfire Surfing"

Oh, and they also think the spitfire is "kawaii" (cute), of course. Then again, they think EVERYTHING is "kawaii!"

They're also so polite while killing each other, I wonder if they quite get the idea of the game

Read about SamOz's MImod or download it here. Warning, It's BIG!!!
MImod is a new mod for Tremulous, with flashy script effects & High-Def textures in an Oriental-influenced theme.

He probably means me. The story is somewhat correct, except he killed a couple of structures first in our forward base, i went there and checked what was going on and he started to shoot me too.
This happened after a successful alien rush (om down). But the game was not finished and wouldn't be until a couple of minutes later.
The ban was correct but I admit 7 days were a bit harsh, and I just went and revoked your ban.
If you for some reason have to start teamkilling in the end of a successful round, wait until you see the "Alien wins." or "Human wins" message to avoid these kind of situations in the future.

Learning that dying over 3,000 times in game will not cause you to gain invinsibility.

No, it's actually 5000

Posted on the Funky Alien Abilities thread and some guy flipped out on me. First day on this thread to, I'm new.

So I guess I should consider myself lucky I got my first wtf moment on this forum literally minutes after I signed up? Idk

That's nothing- some random kid just made a 7-year necropost on some ancient thread about "funky alien abilities" or something like that. Kids these days, they just don't bother to check the dates...

ok, can you give me the tool thingy app that can code?

No, your right. I didn't. XD

Probably should keep that discussion on that thread though.

I had taken down an overmind, and ran to the alien base with a flamer and nades expecting hordes of dretches but finally realizing that literally all of the 8 player team were tyrants except for the granger.

First time I played Trem I was playing with an |FA| clan member, at the time, and was on Niveus. He obviously raped me since I was nub, his Dretch > My Luci....How nubby I used to be. So I open the door to his base, thinking he's AFK...and found out what a Rant was for the first time. Let's just say I shat a brick.
By the time 1.2 is finished, time travel will be normal, so why don't the future devs just travel back and release 1.2 early?  ???

Do you guys know that server (gpp) where you have low gravity? This server sux, it really does, and I intended to actually not play there any longer, an intention that is now well in place because: I got a perma-ban.

This happened in that awful Nintendoland-map, where humans (the team I was in) had annihilated the alien team, no overmind, no eggs, only one tyrant left in the basement of Mariohouse, with a trapdoor that was blocked for some reason. This tyrant now, well, he refused to let the game end. He just camped there, and to whatever suggestions that he might admit defeat or go spec or kill himself or whatever, just to end this pointlessness, he replied with things like "NEEEVORR!" or something.

So we sat here, with lucis and grenades ready above the trapdoor, and considered what to do about it.

First, we waited until he came to his senses, but he never did, so I suggested a few people switched teams and admitted defeat, just to end that nonsense. I switched and tried to kick him for blocking the whole game, but he was an admin, thus immune to it, however, some other people also had switched, and my following admit-vote … passed.

He was obviously too stupid to cancel that teamvote, however, he was not too stupid to look who had called the vote, and, what shall I say, when he found out, I got an immediate perma-ban.

Some people are just a weird combination of idiot and bad loser, and he didn't like it very much that I outwitted him 8)

I don't waste much thought on it, however, it's a shitty server, and if admins are also useless, well, that just fits the picture, and that I now cannot play here even by accident is not a bad thing after all.
I have retired from Tremulous. Definetely. If you play a game just because it has become a habit, but u'r only feeling like a kindergarten teacher - well, maybe I am just getting too old (hell, I was a teenager when DukeNukem3D was *new*) - it's probably not a bad idea to just let it be. And I do.

Don't take this personally. Have fun, guys.

Mine:
1. Luci Campers in the tremor window room
2. Actually successfully killing an adv goon ALONE with dodge and a painsaw (the goon was NOT noob)
3. Finding that being a 'swordsman' actually works against all but adv maras
4. A hacker on the AA server in 1.1. I was jetcamping outside ATCS owning goons, when a granger trys to kill me by flying around biting me. If thats not wierd enough the flying granger had acid tube diahhrea and a self destruct function. XD

No. Let n00bs pick overly destructive Human weapons and then use them in their own base and around their own teammates. Maybe then they'll learn that doing that is a stupid idea. Meanwhile, I will be slashing at their damaged Armoury, after I vault their smoking turrets and the scattered bodies of their TK' d teammates. N00bs: they're what's for breakfast.
