hmm... Why?

[foq]

You got banned for using a shotgun? hax

[spooker]

a kick without a verbal warning? is this competent admining, or just lording your power over other people because it makes you feel like a man?

According to Yellow No.5, Shotgun has no place in a clan arena game, nor does nailgun, SNG(In some cases) over use of grenades, axe will not be tolerated, lightning gun whoring, talking to much gets you muted, especially if you are talking to a admin with a sensitive ego, Don't even think of joining the wrong team, even though some people don't know how to check this, or it will result in a kick or ban at the admin's discretion.

Basically in a nutshell Rage is only there for a handful of admins to fully enjoy, if you don't play how they tell you to play you're fucked.

With no disrepect to Yellow No.5 or anyone else. This is Quake right? A game? These weapons were put ingame for a reason. Why not use them? Who cares what weapon they are using?? If individuals wish to chat suring gameplay, so-be-it. Easier to frag them while they type.

As far as Spoon goes: Really need to consider that there are others that used to play Quake come back to find out that they need to be mindreaders to play on certain servers. Get a clue.

[Phenom]

Well I was kicked for talking trash(Trash talking on Quake? naa never.), kicked for using nailgun, kicked for using axe, kicked for asking people if they wanted to join a game at Dredd a few times then I was permanently banned for my actions on the Quakeone.com forums according to Yellow No.5.

So Omicron gets banned from Quakeone.com for his actions on Quakeone.com, I get banned from Rage for my actions on Quakeone.com. This is fucking weird! anyway..

I could break it down even further and give the exact reasons Yellow No.5 has given me on why other people and myself might find a undeserving ban but I seriously doubt Hercules himself could budge the stick that is wedged up Yellow No.5's ass

You aren't missing much Phenom; to the shagrin of myself and presumably other dm'ers and even ca'ers, CAx dm3 is so predictable that it's really just continuous repetition of the same fights each and every time (and same random splash rapings without even seeing anyone). My crying over warping to say the Camp Grounds or Edge is about done with. My calling people idiots and morons over frustration due to these things similarly ends when I play something with some unpredictability. Interesting.

[Spoon]

People need to be mindreaders to be able to count how many people are on each team? Really? Even if you don't know about the teams command in console you can still press tab and count by yourself. I mean...they still teach that in school right? By the way, I've never seen anyone get banned or kicked for using certain weapons besides phenom just because yellow apparently doesn't like him.

[Canadian*Sniper]

I think Spoon should give some warning before using the kick command. As it has been observed, Jawbreaker didn't know what was going on. That's all, case solved

I was temp banned from rage during frenzy's tourney just before yeller's match because "sorry cs I don't like you so..."<ban>

CS fuckin PMd me!

On my todo list is making my engines immune to the following features when sent from a server.

unbindallkeys/unbind - Is used by abusive admin types.
bind (RQ and FvF do this sometimes, I hate it.)
name - a server has no need to rename someone
fov - (the RQ mod messes with FOV and I hate that)

I suggest you that commands:

config load/save from a cfg/ folder
cfg_save filename.cfg
cfg_load filename.cfg

setting readonly flag to a cvar:
readonly fov

you may need special code for that one, because some cvars area hidding functions behind or are special handled. ( netnames, etc)

[spooker]

baker since I play runequake a lot I get weirded out a lot, when it changes your FOV for one of the effects. I just bind a key to "exec config.cfg;exec autoexec.cfg". If theres a better way i'd love to know it. sorry, i dont know what a cvar is

Ah, nice! I like the general theme behind your idea.

Thanks Tei.

That second part is just plain pathetic reasoning.
I guess Spoon has this thing called common sense which infers that someone should know when and when not to join a game. It's just a kick, not a ban. Banning during matches is a separate issue.

But yeah, quake being an 11 year old, essentially irrelevant GAME is a good point. As I stated to Yellow-5 when I cc'd after someone left on the opposing team (I was reconfiguring a zillion times per usual), implying that cc'ing deserves regulation means that CAx pub games have some sort of point. The point is?

It's rhetorical, by the way.

[Stung]

Furthermore, actually, one may be interested to learn how strategies have changed in CA since it changed from a frag-based scoring system to a damage-based system. Kamikazism and general aggression is predominant, and those who do not conform are subject to harassment by others. In otherwords, winning the teamgame is irrelevant, how much damage you do without, essentially, regard to damage done to you is the basic style today. Those more passive (Taxi, Spasm) or passive aggressive (Vibe) win much more often for a reason. Operant conditioning basically. If you want the "point" (winning) to be brought back to ca, try changing that system. After all, there IS an MVP based on damage stats for those who care about that.

The problem is, they don't know they've been kicked. It never says "you've been kicked from server" or something to that effect (AFAIK).

So i've been playing on rage.quakeone.com clan arena server for the last couple of weeks... I'm an old school quake guy back from the late 1990's... Anyways, I join the rage.quakeone.com server this evening and ready up... All of a sudden, i lose connection to the server... So i rejoin the server and ready up again...

once again i lose connection... thinking is something to do with my connection, i try to join up one more time... and i notice it says... "you are banned from this server."


what's up with that? I never said a word to anybody... Is that how quakeone.com servers are admin'd? Banned for no reason? Just curious...

It's just a kick, not a ban.

Point is he was banned. Maybe the guy is slow and didn't understand what was taking place or maybe he was trying to remember alltogether to learn how to play again. You can't automatically assume that everyone knows and underestands how to play the game. Little more communication would've been nice.

How many people read the manual that comes with a game? Some just jump in and learn as they go.
