Set Me Straight With A PoleHammer, Plunder Bunnies Options

[Stormcrow]

Greetings all,
I have been a longtime lurker on Sneaky Monkeys, donated on occasion too. But due to over commitments to another gaming community have never bothered to socialize on the forums, I only ever voted. I know some of you know me, Some of you probably hate my feinting. However i thought i would say hello and ask a couple of questions regarding your servers as i recently discovered something i don't like very much and didn't believe was going on involving some of the SM admins on the chivalry server. Both friends and i frequently use your servers as they are nothing short of the best we find, However there seems to be an ever increasing number of random kicks being put down, Usually i wouldn't believe anyone when they told me that they were kicked from a round unfairly, That includes some of the other long time players, Which is both annoying when you have to wait to get a place back. But tonight i feel that i experienced this myself. While i will not name/shame anyone personally as its not something i found ever did any good. I have never had any problem with the server or admins in all the time i have played on there, Except Sneeky because he kicks me into rivers, At 19:40 10/10/2014 I was kicked for -annoying- behavior, With a claim that i was warned several times, Utterly shocked at this as i neither team kill/troll/block or do anything otherwise unacceptable i looked back through my Over wolf and found no such thing had occurred. After asking politely why i was kicked, I was given nothing short of a vague excuse and a reference to the SM house party rule. While we will always respect the server and its admin, I think that being clear to your players is only fair isnt it? Both in game and out?, You warn me about something, I will -always- listen, While i can appreciate a admin might be click happy when they are in a bad mood or feel someone has broken a rule (Two have admitted this to me themselves ^^). An explanation would be polite. I frequently role play in game for a laugh with friends and have never had anyone take issue with this, I have seen SM members take part time and time again for some comical fun. However on this occasion i was asked to tone it down and i did. Could someone please look back through the log and send me a message to explain why i was kicked? As far as i was aware a SM admin were not given the power to kick someone just because they personally found them -annoying- ... Or were they? If so, Ill have to rethink the way i play the game next time i kick Porsuk into a river.

These two are unrelated. It was towards a guy who was asking why we were poisoning the wells we were conquering.

10/10/2014 07:45:12 (76561198043953474) =SM= TurboMidget: Well, he should snap out of it

This was in response to someone else saying he was roleplaying and him ignoring the warnings. Figured I'd clarify because it looks somewhat out of place.


I'll be the first to admit I can overreact towards annoying behaviour. Most admins probably know this, too. However, saying he's gotten no warnings and that he 'demands an explanation' as to why I kicked him are a bridge too far for me. He had gotten multiple warnings after which I was, in essence, told to shut up. His general attitude appeared to be that he could do everything he wants, that he's king, as long as he didn't break the tk rule.

Here is the steam convo that followed:





I couldn't care less about the kick anymore. What's irritating me at the moment is the way he handles it. During the entire conversation everything's my fault and I should apologize. I've worked with people like this in real life and I absolutely despise that attitude.

The explanation is clear. You were annoying. Yes, we do get to kick people for that if things get out of hand or if it's starting to mess with the attitude on the server. We've had some attitude problems lately and we keep an extra eye out for it, some more than others. This is why I kicked you off the server.

No it isnt, "I'll be the first to admit I can overreact towards annoying behaviour" Self explanatory, Just because -YOU- want to slam on everybody else and take offense at something not directed at you in the slightest doesnt give you right right to be a douchebag, a view shared by many right now. I have worked with people like -you- myself, in several different countries. Your vague, aloof and totally self rightous in every decision you make, This is a computer game and a community on it, A view shared not only by me but others.

If your going to go down the holy-than thou road Turbo-midget i would suggest you get your story -straight- and stick to your guns when deciding to kick people in their ass. Next time we see people either roleplaying screwing around with firepots/catapultbreaking/kicking we can expect you to kick everybody involved right? ^^ YOU and plenty of other SM admins have never taken any issue with in character jesting before and have even encouraged it and taken part yourself. So why the sudden change of heart? ^^
