We WILL NOT bar our servers from people that speak different languages. They are free to talk as freely as we would in English. However the same rules on chatting in English applies to those chatting in different languages.

If not understanding what they are saying bugs you that much, either A. Learn the language, B. Get a translator, or C. Don't play at the same time they do.

General Chat / Re: Servers with ads
« on: July 02, 2010, 02:31:14 AM »
I just don't think you would get much revenue from putting ads in-game. Game servers just don't get that high of a traffic volume. Game developers can pull it off since they get revenue from ALL of the clients that play.

The problem is, they would count by the individual connections connecting to the server, and not by how many times something was viewed. since it would be far too easy just to have people take turns spamming the Q menu or w/e. And note that is Individual connections, so the same person connecting twice would not count as 2 hits.

I may be wrong on some of this, but ads in general are a dodgy slope. They act like a gateway drug, it might start with just one ad but they seem to multiply.




Easiest and least obtrusive way I could see this working would be to include something like google ad-sense to our motd. It only appears once, everyone sees it, and its easy to add in.

I think tho, that people have to actually click on the links in the ads for it to count as a hit, but I cant remember to be honest.



Another option would be to sell Rnd merchandise.... ^.^

I bet there is a T-shirt company or somthing out there that would accept designs and sell them for you and give you a cut of the profit... That could be fun for the community. Official Rnd T-Shirt design contest anyone? :)

Trinity, you ever consider figuring out why you were given a warning in the first place, and toning it down a bit? I bet those warnings would disappear awfully fast...

I hate OMG IMA GONNA LEAVE WHY JOO DO DIS TO ME threads quite a lot.

This seems to be a close cousin to those kinds of threads. So it be getting the locky


And frank to answer your question, just ask yourself one question.

1. Are you perminently banned from the forums/servers?

If yes then we probably don't care if you left.

If the answer is No, then Yes we probably would care if you left us forever.

However, if the answer is no, and one of those so called "OMG IMA GONNA LEAVE WHY JOO DO DIS TO ME" appears at some point in time, then there might be a good chance that The aforementioned answer just might change...



But seriously frank, we all go out and game and have fun with yah, why would you need to ask us if we like having you around?  :-[

Lol, I wonder if he realizes that it was me that demoted him...

But ffs, don't waste insults on people like that, it's not worth the time.


Anyway, on further contemplation, I think it would be wise to put an extension on his blacklisting.

So I think doubling it should be sufficient

He is now ineligible to reapply for respected until, 12/26/2010 (lol, the day after Christmas)

For the record reporting people for rdm goes in the complaints, unless of course someone is repeatedly targeting a single person...

Most isp's use the DHCP protocol to assign IP's, so the lowest #erd IP available will be supplied to you when you reconnect to them, hence why your IP changes when you restart your router and therefore request a new connection from them. However doing this tends to only change the last three digits of your ip So if we really wanted someone to be gone for a while, all we would have to do is ban all the ip's 1-255 of the  187.54.589.XXX (replace the xxx with 1-255 and ban them all) That would at least keep them off our servers until the isp decides his house needs to be routed through a different switch.

The only thing more we could do is reject all people from a certain internet provider, though this might be rather impractical if the person uses a large ISP but would sure as hell make the ban permanent, at least until he switches ISP's.

I honestly don't think he will change at all. I mean come on, if I would want to, I could fill at least three sites with chat logs of him raging and telling people he will ban them.
And, just look at what he does now. Now that he's not respected anymore, he just doesn't play on RND servers anymore. He doesn't even bother writing a proper excuse or explanation in here, which shows how mature he is once again.

I call it the angry pent-up 13-14 y/o complex, we all had it near that age. Give em a few years, it's amazing what a difference it makes.

Maybe if he will start behave nicely ,I believe he could have another chance.

That's why none of out black-listings are permanent, since we know there is a good chance they will mature a bit and not act like such an ass.

After reading both of the reports, I feel he wore out his chances. For the crime of high treason, and flippancy against the populous he has been added to the respected user blacklist for a period of three months. Therefore, he is no longer privileged with respected powers and cannot reapply until the date of 9/26/2010.


If you are reading this myppl8, you are more than welcome to post an apology, if you do, and it looks like you actually mean it, there stands an excellent chance of you being removed from the blacklist.

Edit: Please get the steam id, it makes our job a lot easier...

My proof is the amount Coolz told me after he checked the respected user list installed in the servers, for how many steam id's are in it.

And the final answer is... 497

Therefore TOMCAT WINS with a guess of 532, only 35 away from being spot on.

Here have a cookie!  ;D

This is your first warning, next time please look into a situation much more carefully before resorting to a kick/ban. I understand that it sometimes gets really confusing in-game, but if your in any doubt about what is going on, just wait a bit, there is an extremely good chance that the person will continue to do what ever he was doing leaving you with no doubt in your action.

Do not ban for a first offense, if you kick the person and he immediately rejoins and starts Excessively RDM'ing (or w/e) again, then go ahead and feel free to ban him.

If I have to issue another warning, you will be added to the respected user blacklist for one month.

Just remember, have fun! it's what these servers are here for!  ;)
