Kira: Levels? Perks? Thats exactly what I wanted to avoid when I first started playing on this server. That stuff just overcomplicates the game. Please, for the love of god, dont implement anything like this.

Really, this game isnt fair by nature. Crippling the Infected team for doing their job well? Thats ridiculous. If someone screws their team over by suiciding or refusing to move up, thats not cool, but if someone is confused or out of line, it up to their team to cover them and help them out. Its part of the game.

Ill write some more in this when Im more awake and had some breakfast.

You didnt have SourceBans already??

I always use the sm_admin menu to kick people, not the !ban command, because its how Ive always done it. I dont know if this affects bans differently, on my servers I never had a problem with bans not sticking when I used the admin menu.

I saw something about wiping out a race and I was kind of scared there for a second what was going on here....

Ive talked to him a few times about watching the language, and Ive kicked him for rushing at one point. He does tend to get pretty pushy and angry when his team loses, Im thinkng his attitude changes when he knows theres admins around, and at times I think hes drunk.

Ill leave this one up to Nightling or Jackie, but if I see him behaving badly again I will perma ban him, and he can come crawling if he wants to get back in. Sounds harsh, but we dont need angry, offensive people ruining the game for everyone, especially when theyve been warned repeatedly.

Well, that entirely blows my "not having people know Im admin so they carry on as normal to identify potentially problem players" thing. Oh well...

Thanks Nightling.

(edit) Jackie told me it was only when we as Survivor this comes up, I thought it was for every death as Infected. Phew.

So, you mean every time I get killed its going to do this?

Congratulations and condolences! Happy parenting!

Youre hilarious.

Jackiechan was tweaking some of the plugins earlier, apparently there are some issues. Im sure itll be fixed shortly.

If you look at the plugin changes sticky in the L4D2 server forum, it shows whats been done. Im thinking I know whats causing the conflict.

Fix one thing and it breaks something else. This game isnt buggy at all.

Jackie! What did you do???

He said last night he was working on some new mods, maybe theyre causing some programing conflicts? There was no game update today, so I guess we wait until Jackie comes around...

Thats just MY opinion. Maybe others feel differently?

Usually if Im on and the players say they want a different map Ill switch it, or if theres been a lot of crashing Ill switch to Parish because it gets played the least.

Frankly, I liked the rotation a lot better. It meant all the maps got play and there was no messing around with voting when attention was needed in the game. Also, a lot of the players that were there at the end of the campaign to vote are likely quitting, so their opinion is moot.

Dead Center was overplayed before because of the frequent crashes, now its even more overplayed.

Im here every day. I like to avoid real life whenever I can.

If I see someone that is an ongoing problem with rushing, I kick them. But I like to believe in democracy, and the game has a delightful votekick feature. Its too bad that some abuse this feature, and some players are more inclined to just press f1 to get that box out of the way.

And calling players noobs, generally not a good way to ingratiate yourself with them. Everyone has to start somewhere, and I like to think a 10v10 server is a place where newer players can mess up a few times without getting in too much trouble.

Working now, all seems well.

Update day! Gotta love it.

I hope the new patch didnt break the mods again. I guess well have to wait and see...

Oh, its you! I know you!

Welcome. I also felt the need to join, but I liked the server so much, I'm now an admin!
