When the cat's away... craziness on servers last night

[SoulRipper]

I was up late playing INS on the FF server around 0120 Mountain (0320 Eastern) on 12/2. This was the map where A = behind a humvee, B = on top of a balcony, and D = front of an office building. I was playing with the marines. Marines have a pretty hard time on this map, as with many of them. Anyway, we finally captured B which means we were spawning in two places, at B and in a small building near B. Every time I respawned in either location I was killed immediately. I don't know for sure if it was a spawn killer or a TKer or both. This happened continuously until all the reinforcements were gone. Kind of disappointing since we finally got A and B (when it was hard enough to get A last night). There weren't any admins around, and I think I was the only =(e)= as well. I also noticed a few players were named "Anne Franks nose" (sic) which I'm assuming an admin would have dealt with.

This isn't meant to be a complaint, just a story to let the group know what happens without admins. I know we can't always have someone babysitting, but since I know a lot of this stuff is discouraged you should know.

Overall it was a fun night, with people talking on the mics, and with an evenly matched battle in Baghdad with the insurgents winning 2 and the marines almost capturing A before running out of time.

Ahh Sorry to hear man... You can always try contacting someone in vent via private message to see if they can come in the server and observe even if it's late.

DANG! wish i was there to crush those SpawnCampers! GOD i hate those people.

But thank god you had fun after that incident.

Wait, what's vent? I know about the steam group, xfire, ventrillo, irc, maul, message boards (boards, PMs, shoutbox, etc.) and in-game chat but not vent. (ok, I'm being a smarta** about all the different ways to communicate, but the question is real.)

edit: NEVERMIND... Vent = ventrillo. When I googled "vent" ventrillo was the first result. Duh...

There have been quite a few TKers on the server as of late my latest episode was last night when a guy by the name of "LOL?" was gunning down team mates left right and central. His first round was 3 KIA, I was hit and spun a returned fire thinking it was an insurgent I was not the only =(e)= to do so. Next respawn we sucked a nade and poof 20 more seconds later there was the guy hiding outside spawn once more when he opened up on the team once again.

I notified admins and nothing was being done, I nearly walked off the server right before he left.

unfortunately admins cant be online all the time , and since I just got a job I really cant be up that late any more , just make sure to add as many admins to your steam friends as possible that way you can at least find someone even if they are in another game at the moment you can ask them to come deal with the issue
