I have noticed this occur on both the Orange, and Kettle servers over the course of the last few weeks. When player numbers are low, members often begin a Melee-only round. This is okay ONLY when no members of the public are present.

You CANNOT, and SHOULD NOT, enforce Melee-only rules when even ONE public player is there. This deters players from playing, and is NOT one of our rules. You cannot kick/slay/slap someone for not sticking to a random decision to use "knives only". Those little bouts have to stop the second a public player arrives.

We strive to keep servers active and popular.
 
dude i 100% agree, but often they are ok with it. I'm not arguing for even a second; i understand your point and agree that anything that deters public players from joining ANY eGO server should not be done. And even though I have suggested it (i am a culprit), I've never enforced it, or reprimanded anyone for not wanting to participate.

but again, point well taken, and I agree. Go0d post dude, good post.

Right-O, I've been trying to tell people that a few times. You can ask them to play knives, but if they don't want to no one has the right to tell them otherwise.

In TF2 once, we only had 6 or so guys playing and a pub came in and asked if we wanted to do all melee. Myself loving to humiliate them by meleeing gladly agreed. However another pubber didn't want to melee, so the person who hatched the idea flipped out on him. I told him that it isn't a rule and he can play how he wishes.

Eventually the guy who wanted to shoot us decided to quit saying "If the server's Melee only you should have it in the server title." Which says a lot. If the server rules don't say so then any individual should enforce it. It would be like us enforcing our language rules on other servers, no one wants it so why should we continue to do it.
 
just to add....melee is usually only good to get goin when player numbers are low :) It usually makes folks leave when the numbers are there for a good battle.
 
My 4am all melee on Ava works every now and then. It's who wants to or not. If all can agree with it, cool.If not, gang up from behind and punch him.
 
The public players attempt to look for an intelligent match to their tastes. When a player goes in, they're expecting to play a nice, normal game of Day of Defeat. I totally agree to not allowing such mockery become bestowed.
 
Still, this brings up the idea for a Melee only server...you guys think that is possible? Or maybe just all pistols or rockets?
 
For me it is this "magical moment" (when all the players on the server think it is a nice idea to melee a lil bit) that makes it special.
I dunno if I would join a constant melee only server as I think it's sth. that comes when it comes - and then it is the time to enjoy it! :D

Regarding the original post: I agree totally! Nothin should be forced if it's not written in the server rules..
 
i think thire should be a vote mode for all melee or not this way ppl have a choice muhahahahaha
 
Melee only fights are usually how I try to start up the KK or orange server with some other ego member, but usually as soon as more people join we just go back to guns unless the other people agree to some melee.
But I agree with spetz, do not force people to do it if they dont want to
 
Hate me all you want for what I'm about to say....

I LOVE going into servers when there's only a handfull of people... and they're in a melee only game....

and then I shoot them.




it makes me giggle like mad.

Yeah, I'm certainly not saying you can NEVER do them. If its just a few eGO folks in there, then it's no problem.

It becomes a problem when the public arrives. And it becomes a bigger problem when people try to enforce it. Thanks for understanding.
 
understood and will enforce it dude
thanks for the update/ warning/ piece of information on it!
 
Well iv noticed one thing when server numbers are low (i.e 3on3 4on4 etc),they enjoy a melee and do not leave...That way we slowly but surely have more people joinin in but once the number increases to 5on5 and more thats when the guns start sounding..
its ok if the public is havin fun with melee cos at the end thats what all the ego servers are all about.HAVING FUN.BUT IM AGAINST ENFORCING MELEE ONLY.
This is my point of view ,im sorry if im wrong..
:)
