Server rules question:

[vistrum]

Is "clanstacking" against the eGO CoD4 server rules? If so is there an exception to eGO for this rule?

Today I saw an eGO member threatening to kick a clan because they were all on the same team, so I looked at the scores and sure enough, the OpFor had 6 or so of the clan in it... Then I looked at the Marines and there were 6 or so of the eGO clan, but none in the OpFor team..

I left the server and returned an hour or so later to find the eGO members all trying to goto the same team... So.... What's up with your rules???

I dont think clan stacking is a bad thing. stupid of the admin to kick a clan that wants to play together

What do you mean "trying to go to the same team"?

I don't understand how you try to go to the same team. Were they verbally expressing it? How could you tell they were trying to be on the same team?

Just want it clarified as that statement is vague.

Purple had a discussion with some CoD4 eG's at the end of the Vent Admin school about this. She said because the rules and system for CoD4 are so different from source, the best bet would be to see what the division leader's opinion on it is.

Edit: The discussion was on either the DL or an Advisor kicking for it, and they were unsure if he/she was being a tad overzealous or not, if thats any help.

They were in game telling eGO members to switch to the same team. I read through my original post and it was a little hard to understand. Sorry about that .

Thats pretty much the exact same thing I was thinking. The game is more fun to play with people you know. My friends and I do LAN's sometimes and we'll make up some tag and all go to the same team on some random server and work as a team... It just gets to be so fun doing teamwork instead of just running around shooting people.

Does this mean it is, in fact, a kickable offense?


Thank you for the responses.. Hopefully we can clarify if this is a kickable /bannable offense or not.

I think its something to do with ghosting on the hardcore server. Since I've never played CoD4 I have no idea if thats what the guys said, and if so, what it means, but if thats any help there you go

Fyi, Ghosting is the act of one or more dead players spectating an alive enemy player, with the intent of revealing his or her actions or location to their alive teammates, giving them an unfair advantage. Using Vent or Irc.

You're better off asking this in the division discussion section

That would be understandable, but this was the =(eGO)=TDM*Recruiting*EdgeGamers.org server (not hardcore)... And nobody in their clan was dead or spectating.


Maybe an admin could move this into the division discussion forum so that there arent any double-posts on this topic?

Tyvm!


*edit*
I just looked on the division forums and it said:
Rule 2= No clan stacking. Members must be split evenly between the teams

So, it is a rule and you can be banned for it. Is there some exception to this for the eGO members? It's kindof hypocritical to tell people they cant clanstack and then do it yourself.
