yeah buddy, welcome aboard, hit one of us up for the private forums pw, vent info and such

well, i have been away the last 3 weeks so this is my first week testing it out and first post here. I'll probably repeat some things others said, because reading thru 4 pages of posts was giving me a headache. I don't mind it as much as others so far. I enjoy seeing others suffer trying to use weapons that I dont mind using! I enjoy being able to try out weapons that I don't use alot, knowing that most other ppl are in the same hitch (until a team starts really losing). I think it makes for an overall more rounded css player. It also may be giving others a chance to find out they are actually pretty decent with a weapon they haven't tried using too much. BUT I must say a couple of negative thing so far... it is pretty ridiculous when the deagle costs more than half of the other weapons out there. And it does put the losing team at an even greater disadvantage. I dare say it is a fact that no matter how skilled players are with the "cheaper" weapons.... a skilled team using m4/aks/awps/deags/armor WILL, in most instances, "roll" a more skilled team using smgs/augs/scouts/clarions/defenders/other pisols who may or may not be able to afford armor after the other purchasing. Also, it looked like there are more negative posts about it, than positive. Certainly the ones that are negative are more strongly opinioned than the any of the positive ones, to the point that ppl are threatening to not play on the servers anymore. So I'm sure the admins are taking that into consideration. From what I understand, this is still a test run on west, so i'm not going to throw up a fuss yet, regardless. So i still don't have a strong opinion either way, especially for pubbing purposes, but it IS only on my 2nd day of playing with it on so far, so perhaps more to come. RoGuE.gc #tWc

Clarification: This was on immutable @ about 1115 on 10-21-2006. I was not on the server, but was about to come on (actually, about to go to midwest because I hate italy and midwest had more players) and noticed before I did a little browsing the server was full, and when I was about to come on, map had changed and only 9 players were on. I don't see admin 'abuse' in this case or in general. It was probably not the wisest move to make here, but in all actuality, .gc servers ARE geared for those who joined the community. We do get to have an opinion on the server, it's part of our privaleges as paying members. Like I said, with a full server and balanced teams, not the wisest move, because changing it to italy actually DID kill the server, went from a full server to 9 players. It could have just as easily have stayed full, though, the admin didn't have a way to know, italy is usally a high-traffic map (why, I don't know, but thats a whole other story lol), and I am sure he/she was just trying to keep us paying members happy :-) As far as the name thing... many ppl would find that name offensive, "jew" jokes are considered to be offensive and politically incorrect in polite society. I have no idea why the other name is offensive, but I'm sure the admin was doing what he thought was right. I look at it this way: I'd rather the admins lean more on the strict side if anything. Keeps everyone honest. Its not a big deal for someone to change their name when they have been asked to. Anyway, thats my thoughts on it buddy. tWc|RoGuE.gc

I like contra quite a bit, but like jester says, if its not bringing in the numbers, it should at best be involved only during high traffic times/admin's disgression. Also, I'm right there with z3ro & Jester on 2 other maps. Dust and (especially) port, for lack of better terminology, plain suck imo and are even better candidates to take out of the rotation. tWc|RoGuE.gc
