Something has to give...team switching cheats.

[TonyB]

Guys, you have to find a way to stop the continual team switching. I don't think I am the only player sick and damn tired of it. If it isn't Player switching from blue to red to find and blow the tunnel, then back to blue again, it's Nagi doing it. If it isn't Nagi it's Blueheeler. It's cheating.

Nagi and Player are regulars at switching teams when things aren't going their way. It causes players who have stuck it out through thick/thin in battle to be pushed to the other team. It's bullshit. Vmax just left the match we were in because of it.

If the game does it to even teams that's fine but give admins the discretion to determine if a player is switching to abuse the game. If they are, let the admin boot them from the game.

Hi guys

Well its more than just Nagi and player doing it but there is nothing I can do other than ask them nicely to play fair. There is no point in abusing and harassing admins for not kicking the ones who swap and the guys that get off on that are as bad as the team swappers you love to hate.

I am terribly sorry Rob, no intent whatsoever to annoy you.

Sorry Cap I meant the in game stuff and you have never annoyed me.

Once again, my post is about giving admins the power to handle those who undermine the fairness of the game. Nagi is a prime example. If he isn't main raping he is switching to find and blow up the tunnel. Or if he loses his blue main, Lang Vei, he switches to red so he can get the MI8.

We had a boat-load of players on this weekend. I think we had close to 40. It was nice having so many on and a number of former players have been on of late. Tressor. Horney-Hornut. It is nice to have so many on. There's just too much activity for Nagi and Player to engage in cheating.

Nothing any of you have said has changed my mind about this. If we are going to allow random team switching to suit our needs, then perhaps it's time for me to do the same and I encourage all, change teams as you see fit.

Pinky,

All the rules that are setup will not filter or catch all bad gamer habits from everyone.

I switch teams on occasion to even teams after people leave and know body makes an attempt to level out the sides and I do it when the skill level is completely lopsided (sparingly). It makes for a better game, many times the maps are so lopsided.

What your talking about is players with bad game habits that you see frequently do it , I think. Not all bad game habits breaks the rules severely.

Pinky, its not that bad really

Orange, I have a great deal of respect for you. Indeed, like me, you are one of those who will switch to make teams even. I do it often. You are a quality player playing both red and blue.

One thing that I do that you do not is to move the tunnel for the red team. If I am red on a tunnel map, 95% of the time I go to great lengths to move the tunnel. Everybody should know that about me by now. On Hastings, I have several favorite spots. It pisses me off to see guys switch back and forth, thus learning where the tunnel is. It's hard enough to get a ride to blue main on Hastings and I have run across the map to place the tunnel. I have watched Nagi switch to blow the tunnel.

The other thing is, and you know this as I have posted in the game, I am red, blue, red, blue back and forth. I die a lot. I know that I am scoring fodder for you quality players. That's ok because the spawn time is short. But I do get tired of going back and forth so often and it is because some players switch sides on a whim. Often.

It probably would be hard to police and while I would like to think that guys would play fairly as a part of the game, I realize that is never going to happen. That's why I asked that admins be given more discretion to mete out punishment for guys who fuck with the game. Vmax and Robo know who is doing what. I have played with them. I trust them and their skills. Let them do their job. That's all I ask.
