US1, Autocracy of Admins
« on: March 18, 2011, 02:21:23 am »
So today, I connect to US1. I decide that i'll call a vote, you know to try a map that's not constantly being played, a map out of the rotation. So I call two (that's right, not 1, not 3, not 1/3, but 2!) votes, which results in myself being muted. When I log in later I am informed by the admin that I have "learned my lesson." So could someone tell me, what exactly is the lesson here?

Votes were being spammed left and right by several people and it was getting annoying. One admin said no more votes for a while, and I said that the next to call a vote would get muted. You then called a vote, so I muted you. Then, you proceeded to spam /admintest, so another admin gave you a five minuet kick. The lesson here, quite simply, is don't spam.

edit: I think you misunderstood the situation. Plus it was just a mute geeze.

Now i don't know the entire situation but from your description it sounds like you called a vote and right when it failed another one.
The lesson is to not call the same vote again right after it has failed.

I do believe it was a different map the second time around.

but a small twisty barrel will have small pew pew's, and small pew pew's can hurt mr.tyrant.

Numerous players were calling map votes, it just so happens that wolf had the most trouble shutting up when asked to, and so he was muted, when a player can't handle the horrible frustration off silence for more than a few seconds without feeling the need to spam admintest, a kick is the least they can expect.

Logitech, if you want to be taken seriously, don't spam admintest in protest of a mute. It's the Tremulous equivalent of a two year old child kicking and screaming.

Maybe the admin wronged you here, but in the end: Forgive him.

Especially because you obviously spammed afterwards.

Lean back, relax. It's just a game.
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.

admins need to be more mature and less ego-driven.

more than half of admins prolly don't get laid much, so they like to bust a nut with their admin commands.

"learned my lesson" should have been Interperated as "say my name"

 :booster: booster for your thoughts

My thoughts are that you just got muted by one of them and it was probably justified.
Now gimme my booster.

Clearly, if it isn't constantly being played, its not a good map. That's why they fail. Orion, Atcs, Wrecktify, Steampunk, Slimepunk, Karith. Those are good maps. Maps like pulse and uncreation are shit.

Slimepunk is great, haven't seen it in a while. Though, the doors suck.

That's your opinion. I think you're shit, but that's just my opinion.

Don't bump long-dead old threads, especially not just to flame somebody.
