Players Not Playing For Objectives, A Clarification Please

[paulr 270]

Hi ,

Seen this a lot recently , groups of heavies together with players from the other team not killing each other , just seemingly messing about and ruining the gameplay , this is normally on 2fort in the sewers.

I dont know what they are doing but is this acceptable to be ruining the server and not playing the set objective of the map ?

thanks!

2Fort is well-known for being treated more as a deathmatch map than a CTF map a lot of the time. It has a lot of potential spots for bottlenecks, which certainly contributes.

That being said, that's half the reason I enjoy the map. Most people just bash it to no end, it does get aggravating.

Like Seven says, free frags.

[paulr 270]

Well they mentioned something about spycrabbing and were calling me the bad guy because I was killing the players from the other team who were trying to get to them to just seemingly stand there and taunt at each other ... confused

If they wanna cock up a server they can do it somewhere else. Free frags for all!

votekick, if you want.
voteban, if it's really bothering a vast majority.
call an admin, personally I have no problem kicking or temp banning people if they are ruining a good game for others, some admins may let it go, some may share my outlook...
if it's a full server, adn say 4 people are ruining a real game for another 20+ players, I'd get rid of them, there are trade servers out there for that stupidity

Well the server was full and there was about 6 of them messing about , calling me an asshole for killing their "buddies" I suggested they goto an empty server to do this but that suggestion was ignored .

In the future how do I call an admin ?

thanks

!calladmin.

I've seen it happen on 2Fort UK a lot of times I was there, usually killing the people in sewers aka free frags

But they ARE annoying I'd admit that >>

[Ghost_Jor 583]

Don't underestimate the tactical advantage of being friendly. I've been trapped in a sewer with a heavy chasing me, and gotten out alive by giving them a high five.

Things like that are the reason I like tf2, just some random moment you weren't expecting sets it aside from the likes of COD. However it gets annoying if they start getting aggressive because being friendly didn't work, and if there's only a few doing it for ages. If its genuinely getting annoying you can vote kick etc.

I let Kitten taunt kill people that do that for instant kritz.

Another one of these threads. Who cares if someone says don't cap or don't play objectives; Lotus recruit/member/admin whatever. Just play the game and win

Yep, I'm still a scumbag

[paulr 270]

Moving on from this a little :

Conga , I understand people wont be kicked for doing the Conga and thats fine folks want to have their fun. Now with regards to people killing those doing the Conga , I am 99% sure a Lotus admin ( may have been Fever ) stated on the server (UK 2fort fast spawn) that

1. there will be no kicking of players doing the Conga but also

2. anyone kicking a player killing the Conga players will get a ban .

 

Could an admin confirm please

[luop90 4,400]

Fever isn't an admin.

First off, kill whoever you want. You will not get banned for killing them. The only thing that might happen is that someone might try to call a votekick on you, but not much else. Why would you get banned for playing the game?

As for kicking for the Conga, he is correct there. Unless it's just 1 or 2 that are refusing to play the game, an admin won't kick them. Again, if it's only one or two, and they are disrupting the server (such as spamming chat, screaming at everyone they're friendly, etc...) than do a !calladmin, and it will be handled. Mass kickings won't happen however, so it would be pointless to do a !calladmin if 20 people are doing the Conga. Admins won't kick 20 people.

thanks for the clarification . I assumed that anyone with an L in front of their name was an admin.

Maybe it wasnt him but I do know that something similar to what I posted was said.

Hi Paul,

Yeah I said that, but I'm not an admin at the moment, just a regular member...I donate too which I know makes people think I'm an admin.

Anyway, yeah I was basically told the above by staff and it makes sense. If people want to conga fine...they just shouldn't be surprised if they get a rocket in the chops. But no one should be kicked for using something which is a part of the game in my opinion, unless they're trolling by using it for extended periods (I usually encourage people to stop conga-ing and help the team after a few minutes, same as people hanging around spawn) or using it as some type of exploit.

I said last week I'd expect things to return to normal this week-its just new item excitement and, let's be honest, I think most people found something to get excited about or at least enjoy in the new update.

Any doubts, just !calladmin or add me and shoot me a message.

Edit:typo

Just another point, about three quarters of L's you see will be admins.

One other point for staff: the reason I said what I did say on the server was due to votekicks either being initiated for killing conga dancers or threats of vote kicks. I told people a couple of times last week.

Yeah to back up what Fever said here-

Most L |'s are admins. If you ever have a question, youll have a pretty high chance of talking with an admin if you talk with an L |. Or if one isn't online, !calladmin works just as well.

Paulr, you can feel free to add me on Steam and send me a message should you ever encounter this situation again. I'd be more than happy to help you wipe these jokers off the map.

Found the other team doing this earlier today. I was like: Hey guise!!!

Play friendly if you want, don't blame others for playing and killing you though. ez game ez life

++This!  If someone wants to be a retard, they are perfectly free to host their server and do so there.  There is no logical reason whatsoever to do it on someone else's server that someone else pays for and ruin the game for any other contributors who just want to play.

 

As far as how to deal with it, you're free to try a votekick and see if the rest of the server agrees with you.  On the flip side, nobody should ever fear being kicked for actually playing the game, so if they try to kick you for killing them, you can !calladmin or post a ban request with whatever proof you have.
