Beware Of The Semi-rant
« on: August 22, 2006, 08:04:10 pm »
First of all, this IS a rant. If you dont want to read it, you should probably click back now. Right, on to the rant.

Am I missing something? I just loaded up Tremulous, joined AKAA and after being on there about 2 mins I got vote kicked. I wasnt doing anything at all that should have caused reason for me to be vote kicked.

Some jackoff said I was blocking a spawn even though I wasnt within a mile of one.

Before I got kicked I said "WTH why kick me?" and I think I saw some people say "name" or "your name" and "names dont matter". My name was Merlin The Happy Pig.

Thats why I started this thread really, besides ranting. I've been kicked before for having the username "Bill Gates" and did have a rant typed out for that one but didnt post it in the end.

Is there some reason for these kicks I am not aware of? Are you not allowed to have spaces in your name? I will note that I always use standard characters and never special characters or the "black letter bug". My name didnt even have any colors.

But I've been kicked from two seperate servers for having a name as silly as that sounds. Please shed some light on this as I am now banned from AKAA and if this ban is still in place tomorrow I will be contacting the admins BTW.

This sort of thing just makes me so angry. Yes, I know I could change my name but I like my name and I'm not changing it unless I get some God damn reasons!

If someone in game would have asked me to change my name for whatever reasons, sure, no problem. Would have done it no questions asked. But no, lets just fucking ban me.

This was my first time I went on AKAA, I dont think I'll be going back at this rate. May aswell just go back to SST.

Anyway, thank you all for putting up with this rant and if you have any answers to my questions, please post and let me know.

From Miki.

While I can not promise that we will not kick/ban someone because of the name, I can vouche that this will not happen with a perfectly innocent name like you used.

Sorry you got kicked because of a name, sounds silly but if someone was priorly on AKKA using that name and doing assholery likely just a bit of backlash.

Also you mention going back to sst, don't suppose the instigator of the vote was another player from sst that you may have accidentally TK'd or whatever? This situation is also not uncommon.

People who hold grudges over silly things should be kicked, banned, hit over the head with a 2x4, and then really hurt.

Just one more reason to vote no if a satisfactory reason isn't given.

Mikiupdown2,

I was in that game and you were kicked for tele blocking. Not sure whether you lagged out or not but you didn't move for quite a while untill the vote was started.
As far as the auto-ban goes, it'll be off by the time you get up tomorrow, so no worries.

Sometimes it happens that you lag out at a spot but "clone" and run around with a second character. It has happened to me at least twice and if you're unfortunate to lag out above a spawn, a kick is expected, although many people will simply decon and move the spawn.

Wouldn't it be better and save a lot of grieve to cap the pings you are allowing?

Capping pings makes me sad. I don't get very fantastic pings to SST or Akka since I live in Asia :P

I have been kicked from SST for, of all things, calling for a vote-kick on a guy who was basically attacking our own base (with me going WTF? when the vote went in and.... suddenly I'm gone.... Admin kick?)

Actually, if you're ranting, let me rant too. *hijacks thread*


I'm a builder. I build, because I know my ping isn't "uber" enough to get the "job done" of going out there and killin things all the time.

But what does a bored builder do once his pretty pretty base is set up? Sing? Of course he does. I chat. I chat ALOT, but tha tdoesn't mean I skive off what I think I do best - building and maintaing my buildings. And if I'm not doing anything, I'll try to help out by pointing out what is and isn't attacking the base so you (the rest of my little aliens or humans) can go and PRESSURE the other side so we'll win.

But every now and then, I get vote kicked.

For TALKING.

You do realize you can IGNORE me if you want to right?

:x Stop talking!... seriously.. go to fking yahoo or something and chat it up there but stop clogging up the team chat with your crap.. nothing against you personally but this annoys the hell out of me when people aren't playing, sucking up slots, and they are just chit-chatting.. I look every time someone says something so that if something important gets said I can know about it. I hope when I write important stuff, people look as well, but when your sitting there quoting songs, or just talking about some girl you met the other day it is very very annoying. I really don't care about her..

Miki, your always welcome on the mg server :p lol.... you need to pick 1 name and go with it though. Pick something short.. deserts work nice!

Pie, calm down .)
He isn't blocking a slot just to talk. He talks when he has nothing to build in the base and then he does not sound like he chitters.

Aye, I apologize and will clarify.

Caveman's got me right. I chatter base chat (E.g. "Base is clear. Please continue attack." "Base defenses secure. Go get 'em" "I NEED DEFENDERS!!! BACK BACK!!" and so forth)

I hardly banter (though I will say that I do so when I see the rare familiar face of mine, but hardly enough to be going "oh how's the weather today! good? Smashing!" and all that.)

Maybe it's because being a builder I usually do base moves and am pretty uptight if the entire team goes n00b on me and just randomly runs around (or worse, goes "Where's the reactor?" after I already keybind showed my "I'm moving the Reactor! Defend me!" bind) =\

Meh, I'm moving towards being an alien more and more every day.. spent last night just sitting and watching Speece (?) from Killaz+ own the humans in ATCS and picking up more pointers and tips.


OTL ok... enough geeking...

Thank you for removing the auto ban :D .

I was moving at the time (on my screen, anyway) so mabey my upload just crapped out (wouldnt be unusual, I am on AOHell  :P ). Thank you for clearing this up.

Yea, I've seen plenty people on this game steal anothers name and decon or something like that.

I was actually playing on the }MG{ server before hand (cant remember how long before hand though) and there were quite a few TKers on but they were all playing when I left. I cant see any of them following me, to say that I think I would be a bit paranoid.

Quote from: "PIE"
Miki, your always welcome on the mg server.


I went on that. }MG{ David was on. Everything was going well until a couple of minutes later he exited and the game went down hill. Practically the entire alien team were TKing and shouting at each other and I was getting annoyed. Thats actually the reason I left for AKAA.

Anyway, thank you all for your replies. Hope to see you all in game soon.
Thank you again PHREAK for removing the ban. I will be checking my connection to see if there is anything wrong with my upload & hopefully returning to AKAA shortly :) .

EDIT: Does anyone have any suggestions actually what could have caused me to appear still besides my upload? Because I have never had any problems with anything like this before on any other servers. I always make sure I close all programs that use the internet before I play.

According to my modem software, my upload speed is 288kbps and my down speed is 576kbps so surely I shouldnt be experiancing that many problems. This is an ADSL connection btw.

Mikiupdown2, I'm NOT an admin on AKKA but the auto-ban is only for a few hours. So, once again, you should be good.

As far as the clone thing, it's a combination of your ping and he server messing up. It's rare but it happens, especially on full large-slot servers.

:p.. I wasn't trying to bite your head off.. I was more just ranting than complaining about you. Personally I wish people would say whats going on with the base, and the enemy team a bit more. I like to know if i need to run accross the map, or if there is some effort I can help out, I also like to know if they built something just around the corner I should be watching out for... but a good base is never done.. you shouldn' t really be just sitting around.

A man after my own heart. *grins wryly*

I hate it when supposedly "good" players (I'm not pointing any fingers here :P) do a charge into the enemy base... and then DONT TELL US WHATS HAPPENING.

I mean why? Is the reactor undefended? How many turrets are in there? Engineers? Can't you SAY something?

I make it a point if I attack or am being attacked to inform the others asap of what I'm seeing ("Crap we got a 'goon" etc) and I really hope/wish to see others do the same.

But meh. :(

Nobody has kicked me yet for being a beerbitch. :)

I used to get kicked from tribes servers all the time because of the name.
