<Bo-> what do you mean
<trentluv> wqhoa whoa whoa
<trentluv> whoa whats all this
<trentluv> where am i
<Bo-> no
<Bo-> just explain what you mean
<Bo-> is all I ask

<Bo-> I honestly didnt do that on purpose
<Bo-> wtf do you mean troll
<trentluv> specifically wording shit to get a rise out of people
<trentluv> i just told you what troll means
<trentluv> if i see you doing it
<Bo-> TL

<Bo-> cause I dont get it
<Bo-> so im still banned for what
<Bo-> I had a sub
<Bo-> for a pickup
<trentluv> ask spoon
<Bo-> lol

<Bo-> to get mebanned
<Bo-> why would i ask spoon
<Bo-> you banned me
<trentluv> its important to me you take your trolling problem more seriously
<Bo-> ok listen
<Bo-> I dont get what you mean by troll
<Bo-> I really dont
<trentluv> if you are in doubt as to what qualifies as trolling, go ahead and test it out
<trentluv> yea
<Bo-> I asked for a sub
<Bo-> and he said he would sub
<trentluv> just go and try to troll
<trentluv> and see what constitutes
<trentluv> im sure youll catch on really fast
<Bo-> see your a fuckin dickhead

<Bo-> ur worthless
<Bo-> yea you did
<Bo-> idiot

<Bo-> you wont even say what I did wrong
<trentluv> you're
<Bo-> besides trolling
<trentluv> that's 2
<Bo-> whatever troll
<Bo-> means
<trentluv> what you did was ruined a game
<trentluv> i saw the whole thing
<trentluv> you never got the sub you said you did
<Bo-> I wated
<Bo-> for that game
<trentluv> you think i didn't know that part
<trentluv> waited*
<Bo-> to fill for 2 hrs
<trentluv> dude your shit needs work
<Bo-> and the I had a sub
<trentluv> im out
<Bo-> he said he would sub for me
<trentluv> goodbye

This is a convo between me and a TOP admin after I was banned from #ff.pickup for "not showing up". Mind you this is after I had already asked Scabuf to sub for me, and he agreed. So I went to play another game, and come back and I am banned. TL didn't want to explain it to me for some reason, and this is the answer I received. I add to multiple pickups everyday, and to be harassed and banned by an admin who isn't there most of the time it ridiculous. Most of the admins we have in the ff.pickup channel don't play. And you people wonder why you cant attract or keep players. Not only would he not answer my questions he decided he was more educated them me attacking my grammar on IRC? These are great people you have representing your game. Really loved the game when I first started playing but now it has gone to shit. If you don't believe me squeek or any other top admin in FF, check the logs please. I didn't even receive a PM on IRC or steam from anyone in the game or the admins, I could have easily left the game I was in, and joined the pickup. By trolling did he mean specifically adding to a game I didn't intend to play in, like the other 100 people who !add and !remove right after thinking its funny, or trolling by saying things to get people wound up, which is also done on an hourly basis. From what I can see he has a personal problem with me?

Misunderstanding that happened two days in a row? and the half ass apology that I received means nothing. Only after the ban did the admin decide to review the logs and figure out the situation. Ban first and ask questions later I guess. I love the game and play it on a daily basis, and you guys have a consistent basis of assholes ruining it for the people that truly enjoy the game. I would have played a few pickups tonight but couldn't get into the ff.pickup IRC chan. Good thing for people like Exo/churchmouth or there would be serious problem. IMO get rid of the elitist assholes who run this game, and get some admins who are here for the game and not the fame. And I realized that the dev team and real admins for the game are busy, but you need some type of governing body or FF police. I realize the game is extremely light handed but if you need help by all means ask. Not to mention the amount of rule breakers that go unpunished. People break pickup rules on a daily basis, and the only people that get banned are those that are not in the top "clique" in FF. People constantly break rules but nothing happens because of where they stand in the FF community. There is nobody that controls the pickups in FF.

Old news. TL and poc are the head faggots of #ff.pickup, handing out bans for stupid bullshit while blatantly disregarding the rules themselves, all to flaunt their MASSIVE E-PEEN for being admins of a dead game (that ironically enough is dead in the US pickup scene largely because of them).

But everyone already knew that, of course.

hardly point even banning people from ff.pickup at this stage isn't it?! If it was a regular tool that ruins games purposefully then maybe. I dunno your track record tbh but I get the feeling that's not the case.

If the admins were responsible, it wouldn't be an issue. We've got exo who's good at that (although why he keeps giving other people the rcon password to his server, which always ends up with spoon and poc and sometimes TL finding out what it is and going "HURRDURRKICKKICKKICK FUCK I AM SO HARD UHHHN ADMIN SPLOOGE WITH GATOR" is beyond me), and a few other good people like squeek and stiffy who, unfortunately, aren't around much. Can't hold it against them, they don't spend their lives wanking off to XYZ has been kicked by Console (OMGOMGSOHORNYFAPFAPFAP). We need to get rid of the shit admins, have others try their hand at it, and maybe, just maybe, the pickup scene will start to turn around.

Do like hardy in ff.pickup euro, bad admins = remove admin instantly ftw, Whos head admin of us pickup btw ?
My main issue with US pickup it´ is thats its a bit anti new players, even me i´m not a newbie but i´m not a great player either, feel bad playng there without beyng in druggie mode, because the win win win win psicology, that makes dudes flame not so talented players D :, but I have to say that I noticed that in euro sometimes also.

HA. And people wonder why playing with the competitive community became such a chore. If you want evidence as to why the pickup/competitive community are so reviled, look no further.

At being a respectable admin, who acts as if they actually care about the game and people playing it.

The same faggots who made TFC a shitty place moved to FF, and... made FF a shitty place. I don't even get why trent is an admin in ff.pickup.

http://forums.thecatacombs.net/showthread.php?t=108176

Trent is the worst admin ever, he bans people who aren't his friends and doesn't ban people that are his friends, etc. Then again, it's not like it matters, since most of the ff.pickup admins are just as bad as trent, save for like rookie and stiffy. Trent is a power-hungry turd (Just read that cats thread I posted above, its hilarious) that fucks up everything he touches.

I gotta agree with Blinky/Raynian, poc and tl being admins is a really bad joke.

brb im poc and picking on new players to the pickup channel while being an admin of the channel and the only populated competitive league

Send a message via AIM to squeek.
PoC isn't opped.

If you guys have suggestions for better admins, let me hear them. Requirements: Fair, active, doesn't give partial treatment to friends, and willing to punish people when it's deserved. I can think of lots of people that fit into one or some of those, but approximately zero that can fit into all of them.

The biggest problem is that the active players are either friends or enemies with all the other active players, so finding someone that is both active and impartial is next-to-impossible. Exo is as close as I can get to it I think, but he chooses not to exercise his powers. It seems I can only choose between fair admins that are too nice to punish anyone, or unfair admins that punish people non-stop. It's been that way since #ff.pickup started, basically.

Poc isn't opped, but he somehow keeps getting rcon to every server and banning anyone he's got a thing against.

And then he'll start pretend AFKing the next game because the teams aren't stacked in his favor, boo hoo.

squeek i would really like to use my powers, however there is not enough support from any other admins. If i choose to ban ANYONE for ANYTHING, i get SOOOOOO much shit from everyone and people are turned off of FF for the rest of the day. We need to have a serious meeting of some sort to try to get this community on track. <3 for the close to meeting all requirements

edit: genghis tron - stiffy and rookie havent been active in the admin position since they were hired thanks.
