Get rid of Crazy Cubes. That way we don't have to argue in the TTT servers.

That wasn't the point but what ever, I'm talking about problems you have with the community not the servers.

Btw every one can post here even coolz addressing the things he dislikes towards the members and
same goes for VIP's and Admins, you can post what you dislike about the players or the community.

Ehem

Any good traitor (here's a list of some examples), Redrum, Tec, Sonario, Sora, Mildly myself, and many more, would argue the exact opposite I would think while the innos break the cubes they're distracted aka easy kills. Not to mention on that map you have to play not off your own intelligence but off the stupidity of others which is present in a good portion of the ttt community. The exploding barrels can get you anywhere from 2-8ish kills at a time and unless someone really atentive is alive you'll typically get away with it. A low karma T in the T room provides another 1-2 kills plus the knife he got outside before he is discovered, and a great focus getter while you and your T buds are outside killing shit all the innos have there attention steered towards the man in the T room. If all the cubes are broken which they are probably 1 in 4 times then you go on a rampage WITH all your t buddies by the time all the cubes are broken you should have killed 4 innos at least leaving 14 max. When 4 people go on a rampage all at the same part of the map whilst not giving the innos the time to regroup or even realize what's happening they're going to sweep through the map unless of course they are TERRIBAD thus Cubes is actually a very decent tttmap and no harder then any other map is for traitors.

Any other suggestions?   ;)

Yeah, things like that Samo, anyway, I think that the servers are simply getting boring that's why I don't see most of the VIP's or Admins on (or its just my GMT).

I was thinking about making some events in the servers with the help of the admins.

Let's try out how it is without the permakarma, or at least downplay the karma loss so that nobody minds permakarma.

WAIT

HOW ABOUT

That's actually a good a idea.

Permakarma killed off any enjoyment left within RND TTT.

I'd actually be for a karma change by now.

Mostly because I hope old people would come back then while some newer ones disappear.

But also because it's annoying.

Post by: Shockah on March 11, 2012, 02:50:59 PM
Ugh every time someone talks about changing the servers the perma-karma in ttt discussion comes up, I'm tired of arguing I really am if it's decided to give temp karma a try for a week or whatever great just let me know which week so I can be sure to play once for 30 minutes, and then never play for the rest of the week. Hey maybe I'm exaggerating and it will work well but if it's changed to temp karma we will need to rely on vips and admins to be on at any time due to no repercussion from rdming which is a prevalent issue as is.

I think it's really time to change the karma system back to normal. May it be a few weeks but at this point I think that we must test it and then compare it to our permkarma system. There's been too many threads about this, I think it's about time to change it back and see what happens.

At least take to consideration what I said,
Quote
Roach: rNd is based on popularity

Quote
Roach: All of the communities 'specially our, is based on popular players
Roach: and unpopular players
Roach: Lets say that a player joins
Roach: and he joins to play and have fun, when he tried to contact people in the forum
Roach: or get some kind of attention
Roach: popular people will most likely start ignoring him or things like that
Roach: And it happened to a lot of players like F.P.S Russian and others
Roach: But its not simply because they did something wrong, its because he doesn't like him
Roach: so he'll do everything to stay at the opposite side from the other player
Roach: and will try to ignore or make the situation even worst

Also, Roach, your example of FPS Russian is a terrible one.
Not only is he a known ghoster, but he's also the guy that threatened to sue rNd.

I guess you never really played with him right, what ever, not going to make a thread like Excalipoor made.

And I guess you never really heard him when he talked to us.

We didn't treat him badly when we first joined. We encourage new players to come and feel welcomed. At first, I treated him like anyone else. Trying to help them and give them a few pointers. Then, he just started acting a bit idiotic. I tried telling him to cut it out otherwise it would end badly, other admins did too, but he kept on going and going and doing dumb stuff until the point when he started ghosting and just plainly insulting those who punished him for his actions.

Never ONCE have I seen anyone who was a regular and above ignore new players and not try to help them (unless there was somebody else helping them)

I started out the same way. Made some friends, became a regular, and stayed like that for a long time. I was really immature when it came to that, and people didn't think twice about telling me about it and stop being an idiot. So I listened. As for the people you supposedly say try to get involved in the community and get ignored, they take it the wrong way. They just full-out think you're trying to shut them up and keep them from getting involved with the others. Many of our members don't sugar-coat our words, they just plain out go and say it. People (like F.P.S Russian) just don't want to admit they're acting a bit out-of-hand and don't try to make themselves better. That's when the community starts to dislike someone.

The reason the thread was locked was because Excalipoor didn't bring any proof to the table, he simply thought that if he reported someone it should get approved and that we should "trust his word for it" When his argument was challeneged he just began lashing back destructively and just making it worse.

People are promoted because they are well-known to be mature, helpful,  and be willing to help out when they can. So yeah, admins have to be well-known and sorta popular to get promoted. It's not just 1 or 2 people knowing them and thinking they would be good admins. A majority of the community would have to agree to them being an admin. Otherwise, it would be like promoting someone who you know nothing about.

1: rNd TTT is 2 years old.
2: rNd is about 5 years old.


F.P.S Russian was a cool guy, until we found out the kind of things that he did. It was only a matter of time. He was very manipulative and was actually generally liked by everyone until he stopped caring enough to hide the stupid shit he was doing. Your arguments are baseless. I honestly do not see the same thing you do: I joined RND about a year ago, after "the good old days", because I saw an open and inviting community. And that was long before I found out about the existence of the forums.

All ^ that....seems legit

Seems like I'm not the only one but I tried my best at first to signal to russian with a snide remark here and there or just flat out saying, look you're obnoxious as all hell and rdming because someone insulted you or whatever stupid reason, definitely not ok. But he is and more then likely always will be one of my top five most hated "player personalities". It has nothing to do with what rules he broke, it's the way he reacts towards those who try to tell him it was wrong he either insults them personally or denies his involvement entirely, not to mention he's just a bother. So when you say the server is based on popularity I agree to an extent I mean think, will Russian ever get reg? Probably not I know even if he changes his act around I'll never  :thumbsup: a reg app with his  name on it and maybe I'm wrong for thinking that way but he fucked up on numerous occassions and because of this my image of him is, rdming, trolling, karma baiting, ghosting, idiotic, douche. (that part where hotgreen said
Many of our members don't sugar-coat our words, they just plain out go and say it.
pretty true) it's simply never going to happen.

Here is a suggestion while the real RND ZS server is down, how about we decrease weapons strength, making it harder to kill zombies, (or by increasing life bar which ever is simpler), and making zombies dish out more damage per hit (depending on zombie class). That way it makes the ZS experience more enjoyable, and actually fun to play (and not camping in a room for 30 minutes).

Re-read the post. I didn't only say it was the way F.P.S Russian acted.

for the most part, it is the opposite for that Snivy.

I'm assuming you mean to say "most of the time, it's the complete opposite Snivy."

I also remember how three other players used to dislike me strongly for the way I acted. This made a negative feeling towards me in the community due to the fact they were fairly popular AND smart members. Instead of outright returning the hate to them, I asked them to help me. Over and over again. "You're too immature" "you act like an idiot too much" "stop spamming" All of these I received, but I realized that they were true. People won't like you if you're just immature and you don't give a flying fuck if you are.

All three of those players are actually some of my closest friends in rNd now. They were the ones who helped me get VIP and admin even though at the beginning they were completely against it.

If you really want to be part of the community, someone who's looked up to and someone who everyone knows, you can't just act immature and do whatever you please. That means not lashing out or responding with completely unethical remarks to what they say about you, which most players do.

I'm speaking from experience because I used to dislike almost every single one of today's members apart from Snivy when I first met them.

Yeah, I thought you were a pretty big dick.

We need to remove the perm karma since it's causing problems for everybody

my karma has gone down too many times today for horrible reasons

After months of not playing TTT, I come back with 950 karma. We start off on crazy cubes. A guy pushes an afk off the ledge. Naturally, I go up to him and shoot him in the face.

He. Was. Innocent.

And this was his first visit so his karma was around 800. My karma drops to 500 so he leaves, probably never coming back.

So tell me, who does the perma system hurt more, the one-visit rdmer or the  people who frequent the server?

Are you sure you weren't the visitor? If you weren't you would have known pushing people off the edge of cubes doesn't kill them it simply puts them in the middle room and you wouldn't have shot him.

You're defending the karma system. Ergo, shut up.

I still like the Current Karma system, I don't really know why you guys argue with it.

It's really good.

Well, I like having perm/temp karma system but I rather have perm karma because we get to deal 100% full damage with 1000 karma and easier to delt damage against others than same 800 karma every map

He also shot a few guys for no reason and I let it slide, but pushing people off made me really wonder. Especially when his karma dropped to 300 post-round

That's rather harsh, so because I don't share the same belief as you I should shut up and if you read my earlier post I said we should try it so we can stop all the bitching about it. Literally every time a discussion about things to change comes up this is one of the biggest, the way I see it from my experiences on other servers AND the fact that it was changed in the first place, it won't work out, but we should give it a try seeing as so many people (Many of which don't play ttt regularly) are so ridiculously opposed to the current system, we should at least give it a that.
