  • Thanks everyone who makes ca possible.

    First let�s talk about rage. You say yellow killed it with his devilish abusiveness. I just checked. All the servers are still up. Also, people actually use them for scrims and other stupid crap. People continued playing at rage when speaknow came online. A lot of people started playing at speaknow because of better pings. It had nothing to do with admins for most. To a few of you that had worn out your welcome at rage, it was probably an opportunity for you to act like a douche while playing. So now we have two servers people are playing at. People are coming onto the servers trying to pull players away to other servers for games. Yeah.. fun. Continuously. The servers also have different settings and play feel than one another.

    If there are going to be multiple servers we�re all playing on, shouldn�t there be consistency in the way that those servers are configured and admined? Shouldn�t those servers share the same ban-lists? Why? Quake1-ca community is a pretty small community compared to other games/mods. Everyone knows everyone. We play with the same people everyday. Now we have rage admins and speaknow admins collaborating to do just that. We did not have to pay for rage servers where as dread was having to pay for speaknow. Wow! Yellow bought his way into admin to keep his power hungry struggle alive even though people were still playing at rage to abuse! No wait! It was the fair thing to do if we were combining resources.

    Eventually people did stop playing at rage. I stopped playing there because all of my clan mates pinged better at speaknow and always played there. They didn�t start playing at speaknow because rage admins oppressed them. Now the people that hate on yellow are totally upset because he�s an admin at speaknow and threatens their ability to be lame. So behind everything, discussions are held about treatment towards some of the people. We talked about warnings, muting, kicking, banning, etc. People that were before deemed completely annoying and mute/ban worthy now got clean slate in accordance with Dreadfuls wishes. The server settings are set the same. Everything is fine for the most part. Babysitting kids is a daily thing but for the most part is fine.

    Unfortunately, people like omi dirty up their clean slates pretty fast. People that were giving those bad apples the benefit of the doubt soon learn that everyone else was right about them. Omi would like for you believe that he has been mistreated. Not the case. Omi would like for you believe he has not been allowed to play a game that he loves. Not the case. Omi has always been able to play. He may not have been able to play and spam/harass people at the same time. He could always play though. He just doesn�t care to play unless he can do the other.

    Every time I read through these posts of his and few other peoples. I�m reading the same shit over and over. What do we really have here? Admins can�t please everyone all the time. This person wants 2 teams, this person wants 3 teams, and another person wants 4 teams. Well, the admins try to come up with solutions that will make everyone happy. It�s about the users in the end. YELLOW CHANGES THE GAMEPLAY TO SUIT HIM. ROFFLE. That�s the biggest crock of shit I�ve heard. We change settings based on what we�ve discussed and what feedback people have given us.

    There is a whole group of people that have made ca more popular than what it was a yr+ ago. From admins of quakeone.com, to rook and bam, to yellow5, to visine and clan hdz, to dreadful and phenom, and all the other server admins. People who have invested their time, their money, and efforts into making things better and providing more options for YOU ALL. It�s a slap in the fucking face for a few of you dipshits to say things are worse. They may be worse for you because you made it that way. If you knew how to act more mature, instead of acting like a little spoiled brat, maybe you wouldn�t get muted. Sniff.

    Everyone else contributes to make this little world that you like to abuse possible.
    AGAIN I say.. OMI.. what have you done for CA? Anything?

    Yea, what I thought.

    You have never had admin, ever. You bought your way into admin just a little while ago. I don't know who you think you speak for, but no one agrees with you and no one is on your side. Everyone wanted your admin taken away from you on speaknow, and I mean EVERYONE. Now you're bitter. Stop crying, and learn to responsibly use admin. You were being a raging alcoholic changing everyones name, randomly slaying people, randomly banning people, randomly kicking people. The consequence of your actions is that you no longer have admin. Grow up. Go get treatment btw.

    Everyone knows yellow 5 bought his way into admin to retain power on speaknow because rage died / got way less popular. That's common fact.
    He still wanted the power and the feeling of control / doing whatever he wants. He doesn't play to play quake, he plays to administrate the server.

    Your post is null and void.

      With regards to your ridiculous use of admin that you are trying to justify on this trainwreck of a thread:
      I posted all other people, so you wouldn't just claim that it's "just me" who had issues with you. Everyone took issue with the way you abused admin.

      1) cheating
      2) constant text spamming designed to annoy everyone on the server

      The fact that you ban people for talking normally or ccing or whatever is why I complain. I think you and Yellow are horrible admins.

      I got kicked out of the server in about the 7th round when i was CC'd red in a 3v3 game in which you were afk for 5 straight rounds.

      You kept joining the game and yet sat afk for multiple rounds throughout 4 games..

      When i got kicked i said why did i get kicked and you replied "you were a different color" although you were afk throughout the game.. so I thought it was a bit hypocritical of you

      Then omi got muted for talking to me about a video game.. and you said "like the new admin features omi?" .. he reconnected multiple times which annoyed everyone and I guess at that point was banned..

      Only this time with lamer admins! You let your server fall in some shit Dreadful :/

      Sunshine clearly has a weak mind.

      we come to play, not get kicked.

Not once did I see where it said you were kicked or banned... Interesting. And, I honestly don't recall you bringing such a thing to my attention before this. I'm not chickenshit, I just don't base my decisions on your opinions, no matter how much you would like that.



      I will admit, Omi did get muted for no good reason. I apologize, and I have made it clear to the admins and the other players on the server, that bitch about shit talking, that this is a video game, and shit talking exists not matter what you do about it. Muting will only piss others off, as we've seen already. As for excessive mm1 chat, I would, and Im sure the other admins agree with me on this, mute, not kick, or ban, IF needed. Even though Omi was not excessively chatting in mm1.



      Frenzy had the code for about a week, Some people came to me about it, and he abused the power, so I took it away. Mind you this was way before Y5 and SS started chipping in on the server with me.
      Bib, however, has never had admin on SpeakNow.
      Y5 And SS have worked with me on the server for a while now and recently started going in thirds on the price. This has been going on for several months now. You all never complained then. But, once you found out they were admins, I started getting complaints thrown at me left and right about their "adminship". So, whoever's ass your pulling this information out of is full of shit and I would quit reaching immediately. Its amazing how jealousy can stem from one simple discovery.



      Well put.



      Hey! Now, theres a concept that works!



      Thanks At least I'm not too lazy too quote




      Hmmmm.
      I think sunshine was trying to keep the game organized for the others. They may have not minded that you CC, this is true. But most of the time on the Late Nights of the server, it is the better, not trying to fuck a game up crowd that plays.
      Kicking you was wrong. If control of a situation like that has ever needed to be gained, I use the admin-remove command, which simply removes you from the current game, and I encourage this to be used by the other admins. I guess sometimes it just feels better to kick someone. =\



      Better to have a server that can fall into shit, than not have one at all.



      Same admins, different server.

      I am handling the situation.
      I do check the server logs, and I do know what is going on 85% of the time. I dont need Omi to post a public thread every time something happens on the server.

        lol

        Your reply is what you would like everyone to believe. It's simply not true.
        Call upon your goons to provide you forum fighting backup. You need it.

          Come to think of it. Sunshine is right. I remember when SpeakNow first went up. OC got on and I didn't know who he was. First thing off the bat, he started talking shit like no other. And believe it or not, he was crying about the Ticrate. Not for it to be lower, but the complete opposite of what hes crying about it for now. He was bitching me out because he thought the low ticrate was unacceptable and it should be set at .05 just as the other servers were. I've tried hard to make the server work for everyone. But I can never seem to please OC. So, who is the victim here? Everyone who ever listened to OC is. And even with all his ranting and crying and bitching and moaning, people still seem to play at SpeakNow.

          I'm only trying to help the CA community. If I'm not wanted here, or am doing a bad job, I will gladly leave this community.

          I just think everybody needs to do as I have done and click on "Personal CP". When you get there, click on the link at the bottom that says "Buddy / Ignore Lists" and add the name "omix2" to your ignore list.

            server logs say it all

            I'm afraid server logs were looked over and my actions were justified. You and ramp lied pretty much to stir up shit. You were muted, never kicked, banned, or anything else. Rampage was kicked once for ruining a 3 vs 3.. What was it again? I kicked you both 4 times, muted you for no reason, changed your names, banned you finally.. Sounded a little contrived to be honest. rut-roh.

                Nah, you're doing a decent job as admin. You learn stuff as you go and anyone claiming to know everything is a jackass


                What I suggest is EVERYONE who has beef, to let it go. This is a game. Noone is forcing you to play, talk, respond to or with anyone.

                    lol

                    Just so happens that I still have admin. It was removed for a period while logs were being reviewed. See, yellow5 and dreadful are such horrible admins, they did something about the claims of the users when it seemed like everything was pointing at me. It just turned out I was more in the right than wrong. They did have some conditions for my being admin again though.

                    Please post alcohol comment to this. lol

                    But.. no, that wasn't it.

                      For an entire night of quake play, you changed my name to "DumbAss" nonstop for at least like 10 series. Every few rounds you would slay me in the middle of a round, you kept ruining several games consistently with this behavior. You would also randomly kick me.

                      For several days following that situation, every time you saw me on speaknow, you changed my name to "DumbAss/Pink Panther/Whatever." You still continued to slay me randomly because you thought it was funny.

                      The day you randomly muted me, there was no way they couldve thought it was justified. We were talking on the server and you muted me.

                      As for dreadful, he has no idea whatsoever what he is talking about and is randomly pulling shit out of his ass because he has nothing on me. Making shit up is ridiculous, I laughed when I read that. I bitched about the ticrate being too low? I like lower ticrates, obviously because I'm low ping. You'd have to be fucking retarded to make a lie like that up.

                        Yea, theres no fucking cookies for you in the end if you think you win in any lame ass post concerning about how much of a *** you are and can never be satisfied with the fact that someone is paying a bill for a server for you to play on.

                        Tighten up you Fuckfaces,be grateful,etc etc.Grow up,take your pathetic bitchfest tantrums to maury povich and leave the Quake community out of it.

                            Arguing is one thing,having a debate is one thing as well, but these "OMG I've been mistreated" and "CRY*!BITCH*YouSuckAsAdmin!!How did you get Admin?!?Admin Abuse!!"

                            Dont these people get tired of having fucking piss and moan contests,its like Emo Quakers Club , and everyone thinks the world they live or play in should stop and take notes about how fucking unfair the Quake community is or how you have been done wrong.Get over it for fucks sake.....

                              Ruining a 3v3?
                              it was in the 7th round of the game, I was leading the entire game, i CC'd in the 2nd round because you were afk

                              You were afk for 4 games, you sat around and said you were working and getting drunk simultaneously...

                              Perhaps you should have been kicked for ruining games

                              Conveniently enough, these posts have only begun since you and yellow became admins.

                              There seems to be a cause and effect, while there may have been exaggerations you cannot deny certain abuse of power..

                              there were no problems like this before.. and honestly it's put a dent in the community as a whole

                              Since the trouble began a few days ago the server has been near empty, and we have split population over rage/roots/speaknow but usually in the form of 1v1, or 2v2
