Title: Votekick/voteban help.
Post by: devvybabe ♥ on May 27, 2010, 02:47:03 PM
Alright so, I tried to votekick myself in zs just for the lulz and also to see if I still had respected since I haven't used it in... well I dont know
But I've only used it about 5-7 times since I've gotten it so.. I decided to try it out.

I went on console, typed in "status" and copy+pasted my name in the chat log (after I exited out of console) after the word "votekick".
So before I hit enter, I had "votekick .:~RND`=- Devie ♥" in the chat. Made sure everything was spelled fine etc and I hit enter.
Then here I was like wtf with what I see. It said "Votekick player .:~RND`=- DC". Instead of votekicking myself, I accidentally initiated a votekick for DC...

Why'd this happen/is this a glitch? when I made sure I correctly spelled my name and etc.

Smasters initiated a votekick for himself as well. It worked on him. He votekicked himself and everyone voted yes LOL
and he was successfully kicked for 5 mins. He said he included everything in his name but I'm not sure if he copied+pasted his name from console or just manually type his own name..

This also happened with proudly infected. He attempted to kick himself for the lulz and also to try out his respected since he hasnt used it upon receiving it.

Bottom line: wai

It's because of the name.
When you kick people with the .:RND`=- tag, it usually picks a different person.
Don't type full names (especially when the person has a long name). For example, just write votekick Devie, votekick Don, votekick Jim, votekick Frank, votekick coolz, votekick eddy etc.

Meh proudly infected didn't have the RND tag when he attempted to votekick himself. And the person he ended up votekicking also didn't have the RND tag.

Did he write Proudly Infected?

Yes. That's his plain name. He also got it from typing status in the console.

As said.
When you type long names (especially directly from status), it tends to pick another one.

Don't copy paste. I've noticed a few times that from the status list the name has slight diferences then pressing tab and viewing the playlist... not sure why but the names are never the same in both lists.

when you have 2 or more people in the server with similar words in their name (in your situation .:RND`=- ), the console gets abit confused, so if u just did votekick Devie, youll have a 100% chance of u getting kicked.
