Uh, I don't leave games for reasons other than
A:I have to go, work, life, etc.
B:It's SST and I can't walk down a corridor without being stopped 12 times by dretches, after a while of that I get frustrated and leave.

Other than that, I play till the end.  Sometimes you get your ass kicked.  That's the way life is.

You have an impressive array of numbers to justify deconning and griefing though.



So in other words, if we both see a game as futile, we leave; I just define futility in a different manner.  Although you were the one who asked about the stats, don't be pissy when you get what you asked for.  :P


Tyrranzzx you're still a griefer.

I'll add another one.
People who refuse to help you move some structures, but when you decon them to move, they immediately rebuild, either where the structures were or in some equally useless location.
Need help? Ask intelligently. Please share solutions you find.

Thats what we need, helpful players, not more powerful admins.

That's why we use !denybuild its much more flexible than !designate

!denybuild only helps if you know who's doing it. And if there are 4 people who think they know what's best for the base, !denybuild doesn't help at all.

If its not abused, then flame wars won't happen.  This is a topic for people to say what annoys them, not abuse each other.  Its like a way to let off steam.  It isn't meant to be a place to abuse each other, and so far, nobody has (as far as I know).  Its up to its sixth page, so its going pretty good for no flame wars.  So don't close this one down.

Sounds like your trying to troll us into a flameway to get this shut down.  Oh well.

Another thig that pisses me off:
You tell your team your gonna move.  Guy come to help you by defending you.  You tell some one to be granger/ckit to decon.  Get to your spot tell they guy to decon stuff so you can build.  Problem?  No one listened

ah ha, saw that happening once (don't know if it was you, I don't think so...) the first time the person tried to do that, I just joined the server, so I couldn't do anything. The second time a person tried that, I was bodyguarding the person, but he died, so it's not my fault :( the third time worked and I helped :D

-Getting kicked for bs reasons or false accusations(I've been votekicked for aimbotting, the only reason the vote passed was because the aliens wanted me gone)

-When playing a really fun game against players of the same skill level and a pro comes on and decimates the other team

-Luci spam

-No dretch punt

-Having to reload energy weapons only at the reactor

-Basecamping aliens that complain about humans camping

Actually, the only one that actually makes me mad, not just annoyed, is the first one.

- shooting someone once and they shout and spam omg hacks sif you could do that. impossible... its one shot ...

- really anoying....the best builders (ones that say they are) build like 3 barricades on the exits and entraces to the base.very anoying when you have a tyrant etc and they wont decon it.

but worste of deconners.....lol havent had em in a while but i got one a few days ago saw him join saw the reactor and spawns deconed saw him luagh saw him left..... tried to hunt him down but couldnt find his name.

if goon pounce had more knockback
if barricades did damage if you are close
barricades would be more useful

to get someone out of the node
ff on: kill him
ff off: take a chaingun and push him away
finally kick him

Admins that break the rules
Admins that can't apologize for obviously lame behavior (things happen but be mature about it)

Players that blame the team
Players that never say anything positive
Players that talk down to everyone, though they have no clue of who's good
Players that don't understand that TK is unavoidable sometimes.

Humans that shoot their teammates (just stop shooting)
Humans that use the chaingun defensively
Humans that use luci cannons for base defense
Human builders that decon everything they didn't build.

Aliens that bitch about blocking even when no humans are around
Alien that tk and damage teammates when nothing is around
Tyrants with a god complex.
Battle grangers
Marauders that jump in front of teammates
Aliens 'pros' that blame everything on blocking

This isn't really on topic, but it's relevant:
a funny one is the people who just start attacking you for no reason.
I was a tyrant one game and a granger starts spitting at me. I ignored it for a while and eventually told him that if he continued, I'd kick him. He stopped.
After the 3rd or 4th person just attacks me for no reasons without apologizing, I started kicking people for it. Kicked a bunch of idiots who thought it would be a good idea to hurt an admin. (I can accept if I got slashed when there was a human nearby or if I came around a corner and they were sitting there, or if they were running away and I took damage from a charge. But when I'm in my base or walking toward the human base and someone walks up to me and starts attacking me... lol)

It's called friendly fire... some people are just too friendly.

Playing a game s3 on s3.  Were mopping up the alien base when we get a chat for help froma builder.  A few tyrants had slipped through.  We run back to base fight them off but now the aliens had recovered and start a constant stream of tyrants.  One breaks through our front line turrets and all the others start to follow.  Were standing on and behind the secounf line of def.  Some of us die then ppl start yelling for other ppl to get off spawns.  Not one but two unnamed players were lagged up on the telenodes.  Lagged up as in walking animation but not moveing O_O  We lost becuase they were so lagged we couldn't kick them....

That one happens far too often to be a mere random event.

Quite often, one of our spawns is blocked by some UnnamedPlayer. But the trick is,  THERE IS NO UnnamedPlayer In OUR TEAM! In fact, there is no UnnamedPlayer anywhere in sight, not on our team, not on the other team and not in the spectators. And you still get the TK message when you kill him.

Having our spawns blocked by ghosts isn't fun.

People who don't know how to attack. It's fairly easy to run into a poorly made base and take out the OM/reactor. The hard part is to get anyone to attack. Spamming "OM/reactor down!" "Attack, they are weak!" don't seem to help..
In worst case i've taken  :overmind: down 3 times in a row.. most of our team was just happily standing on turrets. Well some people like to take it to SD and then lose miserably i guess..

Yes, but I've never seen them in that strange position :) . They were only standing there like they were AFK.

You know what pisses me off?

When you got only one med station and it got put in a cramped place. You always got about 3-4 people running up and standing on it to be healed and grab some ammo or whatever.

I can deal with this.

But what pisses me off is when I see some idiot run ahead of me and jump on it only to have it flash for like a second to heal that 5hp he lost and he takes forever to grab his BS and Luci. Meanwhile I'm sitting around without my medpack and only 10hp left because I was fighting a tyrant that could plow through the 3-4 turrets we have left.

I usually just shoot people if it gets to the point of being bad.

The ridiculous auto-map-download "Speed".  I'm in no way a programmer, and therefore I'm oblivious to the "logistics" involved in this Automatic Download protocol, but Jesus, I was downloading "cumshot vids" TWICE the size of these maps, back in the day of 48K-52K connections, at Twice the speed.  Is it an inherent flaw in the protocol or server bandwidth restrictions? either way, it pisses me off.

A game server has better uses for it's BW than providing a user with a map he forgot to download :o

The server protocol imposes a hard limit on the upload BW used for each client. That hard limit is the same ingame or during an auto download.
