admins
today ive spectated some euro pickups and something shouldnt happen happened during one of those.
a map was being played and 1st round ended with a low amount of captures for that specific map. the offy team which werent able to get average number of caps, started 2nd defending round with 4 engineers. which is a very disrespectful behaviour, coz the other team did what they can and put an effort. this naturally(!) raged the other team and resulted with someone (player x) leaving the game from that team. just because hes left due to this disrespectful behaviour, he got kicked from pickup channel by an admin who was actually one of those 4 engineers. i dont believe it should have been that way. i think those 4 engineers were the ones that are wrong and i think the pickup admin crew desperately needs to be re-checked. now ofc im only mentioning eu scene, but some of the most active players got banned or chose to edge away just because of MAJOR admin faults (whole DMC clan ffs), which resulted with an epic impact to the game that already was suffering from its small playerbase. kinda worried and mad atm, sry for language admins would be very critical when it comes to new players warming up to pickups/any organised play definitely need more responsible and decent admins i really dont wanna lose faith in this game, just because of these idiots :S |

Since there were no class limits built into the game, what they did was legal. If you don't like it, simply don't play with them. I know it sounds weak, but that's about the limit of what you can do.

Wow yeah sounds like a real dick thing to do but what's fair is fair. No class restrictions means just what Iggy said. Sometimes in games there are unwritten rules that most people try to abide by. But because the rules aren't set in stone, you're sol unless someone puts those rules into effect.

Sure its legal but its bad mannered. If I saw that in any competitive game I would leave. It's dumb.

the thing is that they needed 3 caps to win. and within 30 seconds they already had the flag out if i remember correctly.. then they just gave up. Could've won even with the 4 engi def. Could've been fun if they actually tried to beat it.. but they (he) didn't even give it a chance.

Shouldn't this be in the Community forum? Also, it's not like a 4 engie setup is unbeatable man, just kill the sgs and cap the flag.
I agree with Iggy, what they did was legal. Also, there are no ffpickup rules that disallow such setups. ALSOOOO... yfni runs the euro pickup scene, not the dev team. He's responsible for the admin crew and you should be directing your problems to him.

ive heard that us got theirselves a new pickup channel. im asking coz that might be necessary for eu as well, if the reasons to that question are lame enough. that might even save the pickup scene a little bit. ive been told that this would be a solution for dmcs to comeback by themselves, admin crew (especially headadmin) is the only thing that keeps them away from this game. they still like the game. can u imagine what would be the impact when 6 to 8 very active people keeping themselves away from a game like this(such tiny community)? plus, 2 of them are STILL in the most active admins list ffs! i honestly need u all to know that ive never had anything personal against or for those ive mentioned in any of my posts, including dmcs who are from same nation with me, or the admins... (consider these: ive never been in their clan which is formed by %90 same nation members and there are none of that nations(turk) players in any other clans except me and never been. plus, ive been in the same team with yfni) i believe a pickup community desperately needs mature and decent admins to get keep things proper and fair, which is prolly something we done have at this moment. yes, i might be doing wrong by putting this topic in beta forums but i am trying to avoid the possible rage when putting this on public forums tbh. man im sure 10 year old tfc must still have better adminbase in their pickup channel.. otherwise it wouldnt have been lasted this long and no, ive not played it for like 2-3 years.

Why did DMC leave the scene? Was it because they were offended by some dude who lives in another part of the world? Tell your fellow turks to man the fuck up and tell them that it's just a game.

i was in that pickup.
i tried getting my team to run 3 spies and a scout. if my team woulda listened to me, we woulda dominated the 4 engineers. my vote is to ban the 4 engineers for a few days... Pickup rule states: Things That Are Never Allowed
ps. I agree, admins should be repicked.. I've said that for months now. hence the birth of #ff.invite on gamesurge. It's open to anyone, but ruiners only get 1 game to ruin, then its perma ban. if you wanna play a fun pickup and can follow the rules on www.ffpickup.com/rules come on in to #ff.invite on irc.gamesurge.net we dont care if you suck... just follow the rules, dont give up, and just have fun!

i believe these 2 are enough for whom that are familiar to the game,
the rest are to make sure details are written im saying all other rules might be written as an explanation of these 2. then the decency of admins step in and as long as theyre capable of making fair desicions, things would be ok its kind of a paradox tho, there must be more players to have more proper admins. but the ones who could have filled that spot arent playing coz there arent enough ppl to play (complaining about tiny playerbase again) i dunno, some things arent just right. hope the new patch really makes a difference Last edited by raum; 01-28-2011 at 03:33 PM. |

My involvement in last 8 months is limitted to keeping tfc/ff server up and some other related crap. I played maybe 5 pickups in total. And I've said maybe 20 lines. My policy towards admins has been for ages that whoever wants admin status gets it and if you fck up by being an idiot I will remove it. The level of activity has absolutely nothing to do with how the channel is run. |
