can noob tube our feet and exploit the game,

Yall never can just leave the game the way it was meant to be played.
M79 is a legitimate weapon of the original BFV game. It's not an exploit.

You accuse Pinky of crying and crying, and yet you are constantly crying about people using M79.

You just don't like the M79 because people without sharp shooting skills like Pinky, Nagi, and me can fight back and kill you and send you 30 feet in the air. M79 is a lot of fun. Y should try it.

Chillax! Kill and be killed!

the first statement is true, M79 is a legitimate weapon of the original bfv game.
the "exploit" part comes in the form of removing friendly fire and splash damage so that the M79r can run around and fire the weapon at his or her feet and incur no bodily harm to him/herself, BUT kills the person on the opposing team. That is exploiting the game and molding it into something that it wasnt intended for and we all know should be removed.
I am all for the use of ALL weapons Al Gore, I strongly believe people should Not be allowed to blow up their own feet and receive 0 bodily harm.

How this is not considered cheating, i do not know.
I know admins will say "its not cheating because it is an option available inside the game"
Regardless of that Option, and although it is not 3rd party software, it is Still cheating. One way or another, it is still cheating.

The majority ("we") voted for disabling the friendly fire.

Please get back to this topic, if we want to enable the player kick voting. There we two big polls here regarding friendly fire.

bro, this is a game
swim for a kilometer with a grenade launcher or mortar and then shoot when you come ashore? drive at full speed, crash into an obstacle and continue driving? how about getting into a plane or helicopter on the fly? all these things are not particularly real either. this is just what came to my mind right away

I have removed my responses to you-know-who out of respect for those admins who work hard to keep the game going. It's not an easy job.

My wife said to me years ago, I wonder if you'll ever regret the time you have spent on "that game". She was right.

All I'm seeing here is a lot of childish behavior from multiple sides, and it's making me not want to play with any of the people involved. It also makes me regret saying in a previous thread that "we've mostly got a good group here" because clearly I was wrong. If you want to lay blame on people for scaring/pushing away other players, I suggest you might as well form a circular firing squad and blast away at each other, because at this point it's looking like you're all to blame in one way or another. This BS drama is going to push away more players than any rule change will. I'm on the verge of that myself. Maybe it's time for this thread to be locked if people can't have a mature discussion without throwing insults.

Edit: To be clear, I typed this while LTShaun was typing his post above, and posted it after he did. I'd like to second what he said.

That’s enough of that, let’s keep this topic friendly as it is meant to be a friendly discussion. Thanks all.
The other day, I used the admin! command and MIR came right in. Ended up banning some clown who was evading their ban. I will continue to use that in the future to help. Thank you.

I am voting no, but I would have preferred to vote yes.

This server has a good pool of cool characters and smart players.

"However, we can't handle it yet, and it would get ugly if enabled".

And that's unfortunate, because we should be able to have that option.

The vote is over - a player kick vote will be implemented in the upcoming days.

We start with a majority of 70% or more to kick a player.
Thank you. I don't want players to abuse anything, but the reason we lost map voting was because there were trolls (clowns) on the server who repeatedly instigated map change votes. It's unfortunate that we are unable to identify who's causing the issue. I just hope that doesn't take place with player vote kick.

The only reason I have sought such a change is to enable players to boot afks. BUT, with that said, I have noted that when I enter admin! with a message, an admin always shows up within minutes. Very nice feature. If the player vote kick is abused, just remove it. Thanks again.

In an episode of "be careful what you ask for ..." was playing the other day and several times vote kicks were initiated to kick ............. me. Every time, I voted 7 (yes) and asked players to do the same. Not enough votes were cast to boot me so I continued to suffer under my poor play.

I think the only vote that managed to actually pass before it was disabled again was the one initiated against dtk. Other than that, it's either spamming the vote to the effect of annoying people or in cases of actual AFKs people for one reason or another won't let the vote pass or just don't care. I think it's good it's disabled again.

When we discovered vote kick was enabled on Saturday, I think everyone was having fun with it seeing how it works and generally in good humor. On Sunday was the problem, thats when it was abused. I personally had a vote kick against me multiple times, along with some of the other regulars. Poor DTK actually got kicked for absolutely no reason 😂

Lol, dtk got kicked for no reason before by me too 😭 I guess it's just his vibe.
