Get over it OP go steal their sh*t. Will make you feel much better.

Berns · 07-03-2006 04:51AM

Dont think ya'd see some rambo runnin in about the enemy base, & whorein about killin everyone in a stolen tank. They'd get the hell outta there with it prob at least

Also , ya still gotta pee in real warfare & sumtimes the medics have white flags & the enemy let them get the wounded etc. Or so i thought :rolleyes: Not too sure about that tbh. Some armys might just kill all like civilians etc :rolleyes:

I used to think that but then I thought about it somemore.
What this really means is
1) Your team is beating my team
2) Please leave me alone to give me a chance to get some other flags
3) Cant we just be friends for a few minutes?

It's not exactly even remotely realistic now is it.
When you have an enemy backed into a corner you dont let them out to play with them for longer (unless you are a cat)

I think if you have driven someone back to their main base its "fair" to follow them in and try to closeout that round.

SeantheMan · 07-03-2006 12:27PM

What about if the teams are uneven though ??

I often see idiots joining the winning tema which should be against the rules, also, ive seen people join 1 team, take the chopper (or Blackhawk) on Mashtuur, fly it over the opposite side of the map, switch team and then retake it

This leaves you without anything useful, how gay is that ??
Q : Is autobalance on ??
Q : Can we maybe get rid of Shonghua Stalemate, was on last night and it was MUCK, server was decently poulated until that map came on

Well I think if that happens then you are kinda fubarred no matter what you do.
Auto Balance should be a must.
Can you have a rule that kicks someone for switching teams if the teams are balanced? (or unbalance but within a certain tolerance)

TheHairyFairy · 07-03-2006 12:54PM

Yes Auto Balance is on. Songua is an ok map, I think that it was late last night when it came on and people had started to leave before hand.

Also what do the boards.ie population think about the euro forces expansion? Are you going to have those maps added to the rotation at the expense of excluding those that dont have it?

I think the great wall map looks well good as well.

That's abusive and disruptive play and under EA's Rules of Engagement a valid reason to kick.

SeantheMan · 07-03-2006 01:03PM

I think maybe wait a few weeks for everyone to get EuroForces

Im sure they can play on other servers for the time being while the boards.ie builds an even larger community foundation of decent players before it switches over

GreeBo · 07-03-2006 01:04PM

I for one wont be buying EF so I guess Id better enjoy tig-boards now while I can... <sniff, sniff>:(

SeantheMan · 08-03-2006 12:35AM

Yeah, i know its not my server n all, or who it belongs to.

But my team was in the middle of destroyin the other team, rackin up the kills, when they changed the map to karkand, solely cause they were losin.

No one asked for it, bit stupid that tbh, map changin cause your team is losing. Put it to a mapvote or something at least

TheHairyFairy · 08-03-2006 01:51AM

Thats a bit crap. Sorry about that. I'll look into it. If people cant admin with a bit of maturity then maybe we'll have to revert to the tig guys only doing the admining.

Changing the map on a loaded public server is crappy.

Map change in the middle of a round is one sure way to kill off a server . Also as a member of boards you have every right to complain as TiG have provided this server for your use aswell .

I can't remember this ever happening ive seen the map changed a few times, at the beginning of a round, (within about a minute) And in fairness ive done that at the start of a round also. But changing in the middle of a match is kinda **** cause your just into the swing of the game wether your losing or not. When i start to lose alot i get really anxious to get back into the game and try and win back whatever i can, changing the map would just piss me off. Isn't there a way to disable the !change command? and instead use the !setnext (or equivilent) instead.

Also on this note ill definately be buying the EF expansion pack as are a few nrg members, what ive heard of the new maps i definately want to try them. Isn't there going to be a second expansion pack too?

SeantheMan · 08-03-2006 03:14AM

The 'mapvote' option is disabled i think, which is maybe why they changed it using rcon.
It definitely wasnt put up for a vote, i for one am sick of karkand as its on every 2nd server, so i left the game.

Maybe consider mapvoting on, also not sure if you can mutiny, we had some idiot commander flying planes and could get him off

Just reading the Rules of Engagement that EA have for the ranked severs:

3 LOCAL (PRIVATELY RENTED) RANKED SERVER RULES MODIFICATIONS

These are rules that are not enforced upon in EA’s public ranked servers but may be modified in privately rented ranked servers. These rules are decided by clan administrators for those servers and as long as they do not contradict any global rules enforced by EA are considered valid for those servers.

This would include but not limited to:

* § Artillery fire or bombing runs on main (uncapturable) bases may be prohibited.
* § Prolonged or sustained attacks on main (uncapturable) bases (i.e. spawncamping).
* § Using the Transport Helicopters to take flags (Blackhawk whoring or flag hopping).
* § Impersonating clan members.
* § Using C4 on jeeps, or other fast moving vehicles to take out other vehicles.
* § Clans may change or customise rules, provided they don’t violate the above ROE rules.

LOL i love this one

§2.3 You may not deliberately hinder your own team or acting in such as way as to cause team mates unavoidable deaths or team losses.

* § Commander flying or in a vehicle instead of commanding
* § Destruction of friendly vehicles
* § Excessive team killing
* § Team switching to gain medals or awards

I can't find anything on the commander mutiny but afaik you have to be an equal or higher rank to mutiny against the current commander. Also seeing as most people have the opt out of voting enabled i doubt youll get a successful map change or kick vote on public ranked servers, but you never know

Berns · 08-03-2006 07:16AM

Some guy asked me other night when i was logged in checkin if everything was alright till change it. Nobody else mentioned if were for or against so said do a mapvote & see what majority wants

didnt know it was disabled

AnCapaillMor · 08-03-2006 09:41AM

* § Using the Transport Helicopters to take flags (Blackhawk whoring or flag hopping).
* § Using C4 on jeeps, or other fast moving vehicles to take out other vehicles.

disagree with those, they're a pain in the whole, but not bannable. the idea of a transport chopper is to go behind enemy lines or to get to a point quicker than a land transport would, will they ban guys driving fast jeeps cpaturing flags next?

C4 on jeep is annoying but don't think it should be banned, never done it myself(welf i put C4 on a jeep and left it there).

Berns · 08-03-2006 09:47AM

Ya think the palestinians dont do the Kami trucks if they had the chance on the isrealis

What about the car bombs in Iraq :rolleyes:
Also, I hate the kamikazie's in jets, but look at pearl harbour

Should maybe have it so only China can kami jets & MEC can do the jeeps with c4 :cool:

Berns · 08-03-2006 11:47AM

that would prob be -4 for that tk,-2 for suicide, maybe -8 for tk if punishes :rolleyes: So essentially -6 if got some1 with ya, minimum. -10 max

Roughly of course :rolleyes:

They are optional though, so it's up to the server admins to decide on these.

C4 Jeep is great fun. Dalian is a good map to do it.

Vegeta · 08-03-2006 12:04PM

Whats the deal with the c4 on vehicles, do you drive up behind a tank, get out and then blow it up or park it and wait for people to run by and then boom

TheHairyFairy · 08-03-2006 12:22PM

Cover the jeep in C4, have the detonator in your hand, jump into said jeep, drive into an area full of enemy gits, jump out early allowing jeep to plough into the middle of said gits and detonate.

Especially useful against tanks etc.

Are we talking about the late night change from Dragon Valley? Because thats the one I changed, and I really have to set you straight.

1 - I was on the winning team. I would never ever use admin powers for personal reasons.
2 - There were only about 7 or 8 people (ten max) on a very large map.
3 - I publically asked if anyone wanted a map change. At least two said yes.
4 - I asked if karkand was a good one. Two said yes.
5 - I left it a few minutes and no one objected.

The only error I can see here is that I should have set karkand to be the next map in the rotation, rather than changing it immediately.

Do you remember me asking if people would like a map change? If you were enjoying yourself I apoligise and its unfortunate that you didnt notice the question or I didnt notice your response.
