rip friend... you were always a fun part of gathers. you'll be missed as much as mendasp.
and congrats for your carry round in the gather last night, awesome to watch!
You might not wanna copy paste what ppl send you in steam chat w/o asking for permission, it's kinda rude tbh
And if you want to come back you're more than welcome to, just stop acting like a retard? From what I see the beta wasn't even played in the end, so that means you joined a gather and left without getting a merc, that warrants a ban for anyone not just you. Grow up
You guys srsly just don't like admitting when you're wrong do ya? By the logic of the above rule: Everyone should have been banned except me.
I've seen so many rules broken and much admin abuse, espcially from bauer. Yet the only time you guys ever actually ban someone is when it's someone you enjoy trolling and bming...
Retard? Srsly? -_- How about you grow up.
It's the toxicity in this community, especially from people abusing their positions (Simple/Bauer, and Golden (to a smaller extent)) that will stop the community from growing. The only reason I'm even still posting in this thread is because I'm nice enough to point it out. Since UWE and Hugh have said they want to reboot the community...
So
but
Wants game to be alive and reboot community, don't want to be a part of community that helps test patches that aim to reboot game...
Cherry picking the rules are we?
You left, rule broken.
You didn't get a merc, rule broken.
You joined a new gather when you should have been playing the last, rule broken.
11 people "broke" one rule, allegedly, except
You tell us that everyone else was trying to get their game working, which mean they were all there, so I don't really see that as breaking a rule, everyone was there and deciding on what to do, in a gather 12 people ready to go is better than nothing.
Admin abuse? Because Simple banned you, for breaking rules? Bauer did what? Golden isn't even a admin, mod or cheerleader, so dafuq?
And then come to the forums, blame someone else for your ban, Golden and don't talk to the admin that banned you, even though the ban states
Following that you have the charm to call everyone toxic hypocrits, thanks. Ironic, really once you read the thread.
crazy. They were trying to get a beta/release candidate working. they spent 10mins doing so.
Nobody banned everybody (after 10mins: AS PER THE RULES). So I left (started a new gather, went on a pub while waiting for it to fill). End of fkin story. You can't force someone to play a beta/test if they don't want to.
Until I get an official apology I won't be coming back.
The rules do not state that you can leave after 10 minutes anywhere, you broke 3 other rules and yet you seem oblivious to that fact.
The rules have said 10 minutes for years, I don't think people have really been banned for showing up 15 or even 20 minutes late.
However, when everyone IS THERE, you should expect to wait for everyone to be ready to play.
According to the other replies the beta build wasn't even played, yet because you muted and left to play pub you didn't know that you're at fault here.
Expecting an apology after this thread? When I just pointed out to you how the only person in the wrong is you, you're taking those rules as if God is real and his 10 commandments were just chiselled in stone this very morning.
All those rules have some flexibility, the admins don/'t want to make the ENSL community any smaller than it already is, but to leave, not get a merc and join the next gather after leaving, there's no way you will climb onto the high ground in that argument.
lol, your realise being a hypocrite is ironic yea? if the rule applies to me it should apply to everyone. "hur, flexible, but it only applies to senpai..." I also know most of you hate me and talk sh** about me behind my back (except for a few nice euros) so I said "go ahead and ban me, you all bm anyway" in gather chat. I ain't dense m8 (even though most of you like to think so :) ).
But keep telling yourself whatever you want to help you sleep at night, you're just blowin hot air m8. :) i'm done reading your posts.
It literally took us less than 5 minutes to figure out we couldn't play the Beta because the server wasn't set up correctly. We played on the "live" build without you just like a normal gather.
You just pz'd the fuck out and didn't even bother trying to talk it out with anyone.
I had no idea why you left and unless you messaged someone.. no one else did either.
Uhm, one thing im wondering about, was the Beta even scheduled? Or did it just come out from the blue and someone said in teamspeak with all the 12 players in there "Hey guys, lets try out the beta"
Maybe you guys learnt something from this? Learn how to schedule.. This whole freaking community has thrown their turds towards CDT regarding scheduling and so on.. But now you do the same "mistakes" yourself? That's kinda hypocrite aint it?
And why the 3 day ban? Cant it be like 1-2?
Is there some kind of behaviour that wasnt accepted in the chat? All that i can see there was only griefing. And after that this thread came up with some questionable behavior..
I'm all up for some beta testing, but guys... learn how to schedule! We've done it for 8 Seasons, we know how to do it, so why stop now?
And tbh Senpai, you are somewhat a guy who "overreacts" sometimes.. i remember i played a gather with you and you muted yourself for some reason when Schu was being hilarious.. And we got baserushed by 4 skulks who went past you and not kill you.. and didnt say anything cause you were being pissed off at 1 guy.. and managed to sabotage an entire game..
This ban was put out as a temporary ban while we properly decide on how to deal with this, if we even have to deal with this. This ban was put out around 1 AM with only a couple of admins present and will be discussed and dealt with today. It even says so right here http://www.ensl.org/bans/620
^ what locklear said... we were on the CORRECT server like 7 minutes after the teams got picked, senpai wasnt... just to clear things up a bit :)
Also @ ryssk the whole beta thing was rather spontaneous because golden just proposed it and people wanted it. I would have been fine if senpai hadnt played the gather because of beta, but in the end we played normal ns2 and he just never showed up.
tldr senpai is cool guy but justice is never just, rip my friend who'll never get an apology
Yes Ryssk. It was RANDOM. UNSCHEDULED.
You shouldn't just randomly pop in and try to make everyone play their gather on your beta Golden...
Something like that should be scheduled.
I was in Aliens channel by myself and everyone had gone to marines channel. I was sat there for some time before I finally joined marines channel to see if people were going to join server or not. When I heard them discussing setting up the beta and how to do it I assumed everyone had decided to play beta, so I left the server. Because I AM A NICE PERSON. I Didn't want to be that one guy who said "No I don't want to play beta, you all have to play normal". So I started another gather and left so they could all play their beta. It sounded like they were trying to set it up. In which case, they didn't actually give a f*** whether I wanted to play beta or not. Because they were ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING IT UP...
Also to be honest it's not like they actually missed me. Both channels had about 8 people in them when they did finally start their gather game(we had 4 specs from the previous gather). So they found their precious merc, and they're LYING if they say otherwise. -_-
Nobody bother to asked me if I was playing regular or not (when they finally did start playing), not a single poke, or a single message. Tbh they didn't really give a f*** whether I played beta or not, because as I already said^, they had already started trying to setup the files for the beta gather play.
Also as for the base rush thing, that's happened twice now. And both times it's definitely been from schu, cr4zy and even kmac i think mic spamming during a live gather game.
I refer to it here: www.ensl.org/topics/1559 -
You may have thought it was funny, but it was annoying and they were being rude to me. BMing me because I can't kill the skulks because I couldn't even f***ing hear where they were about to ambush me from. LITERALLY every single time an alien (or more) was trying to kill me they would ALWAYS start talking and more often than not, it was to bm/be rude to me. At least 2-3 people bming/spamming voice. So I was dying because I either 1) couldn't concentrate on the one skulk (or higher lifeform) trying to kill me. Or 2) I couldn't hear the 2nd skulk (or lifeform coming to ambush me), and that 2nd lifeform would definitely kill me (this happened alot more than 1)...
It's almost like they were doing it deliberately: Holding down C key until they saw red dots near me and just instantly BMing/mic spamming so I wouldn't hear the ambush coming and I would die... It's f***ing PATHETIC and it's TROLLING. And I absolutely REFUSE to put up with it and play with toxic people like that. That and as I've previously said: alot of this community doesn't like me and deliberately trolls me.
It may have been 7 mins but I was certain it was 10. Either way. It's still abuse from Simple (admin), abuse from Golden (dev) and abuse from the community (in this thread, on teamspeak (see my thread about openyafaceup: link above^. I've also received BM from schu/AD). Which is why I won't play with this community again until I receive an OFFICIAL and SINCERE apology (I also expect to be unbanned when I receive it). I will no longer be responding to this thread until I have received it.
You could've let it known that you didn't wanna partake in the beta gather. Instead you went AFK and never checked up on the status of the gather.
Regards to people checking map. Well, this is NS2. Any good player look at the map constantly.
If you can't hear skulks over the sound of TS. Then you should try configure your settings a bit better. And I would highly recommend a mute button that you can quickly reach. Sometimes you are trying to listen. And people saying something else. So muting them quickly to listen and unmute when you are done is a great being able to do.
How does this go from you complaining about a ban, to now complaining about mic spam? If you think people are spamming mic, mute them, turn them down, it's how everyone else does it. You're not incapable of doing these things yourself so putting the blame on others just makes you look foolish.
It's also a gather people use the mic, get over yourself.
I've never heard anyone complain about people checking the map in NS2, it's how you play the game, it gives you so much information and players in gather help each other out by telling other players where things are, yet you want to take that valuable teamwork and throw it in their faces as "pathetic trolling" please.
If you can't hear the game over teamspeak then fix your settings. Don't blame others. You also can't hear ambushes, because they're supposed to be unexpected and silent.
Banning a player for breaking the rules is not an abuse.
Golden is not a developer, he volunteers to help playtest. He has helped more people in this game and although he never wants to play with me, is one of the most upstanding members of this community.
If you want to play gathers, get used to people calling you bad, you will not be treated like a princess. Players that play gather play this game competitively, they know mistakes when they see them, they will point them out. This does not mean they are bming you, they're simply telling you what you did wrong.
I remember being last pick in gathers, being the one guy no one wanted on their team. If you don't listen to the players that are better than you, you won't get better. Yes it's annoying, I've certainly been annoyed sometimes when other players give me shit about fucking up, but if you can't handle it maybe competitive isn't for you.
Some of them probably are just giving you shit, because you react like you're always right, nothing you do is wrong, yet here in this thread you haven't accepted yet you were in the wrong. Infact you make it worse everytime you post, making it more obvious you just didn't give a fuck about that gather and got yourself banned.
You assumed made no attempt to tell them otherwise and then you promptly disappeared telling no one.
Well you know what, if you can't play beta or don't want to, which btw is still NS2 no drastic changes. Tell them, if they can't get a player people will think twice, ultimately they never even played gather so...
You can't blame them for not finding a merc if you leave. The rules state you should find the replacement. Stop trying to put this blame on other people and accept you made a mistake.
Our call is to: Reduce the ban from a 3 day 'to discuss ban' to a 2 day ban.
for: Leaving the gather out of nowhere, not finding a merc when leaving(Yes there might be people present but it is YOUR responsibility to find a replacement).
Regarding the "Unplanned beta test"
This was discussed at length in teamspeak and everyone there agreed to it. You didn't say anything about it.
For the leaving I will quote Tyrwing:"Everyone was on the server and everyone was joined up except for senpai, we waited for him but he didn't respond and then just dissapeared"
