I have a screenshot of the spray that was used twice. I won't post it here, it's very inappropriate but will gladly pm it to any admin/board members that need to see it.

I agree that every survivor becoming a "main" is going to be annoying but I think all of the other things far outweigh that. And if a couple of people are lucky enough to make it to the saferoom they should get main points, unless they rushed there in that case just slay em. XD

I think this is the best idea you've ever had Jackie. Please please please add this.

Personally I love the idea of being able to warp to any of the survivors, this would be very handy for anyone who respawns far back.

It's rare when the same amount of survivors make it to the safe room but it'd be awesome to see which team does the most damage and gets the bonus.

I don't know if you remember Pump but I asked you to come into one of the servers one time about a guy who was throwing pipe bombs and mollys on the finale of no mercy trying to kill himself, that was him. Other than that incident I haven't seen anything else out of him.

Wait are you actually comparing something people do in their spare time to a R/L job? lol Being an admin means having to unstack teams sometimes, no matter how much of a pain it is. So seeing that not happen, it's frustrating. Everyone knows how tough the admins have it on here, I in no way envy them. Does it suck when you just wanna play the game and can't cause of admin duties? I'm sure it does, again I don't envy them. But each of them knew what they were getting into when they accepted it. Yep they keep a server fun and clean, those are your words exactly. Letting a team stay stacked so that by the time the finale is done there's 1-2 thousand point difference, isn't fun. EVERYONE's been on a losing side of a game but being on a side that is stomped the entire game isn't fun for anyone, unless you enjoy having a win handed to you. If an admin doesn't want to keep games fair and equal and as you said fun for all then why not step down? At least then they'd just be able to play and enjoy the game. And as I stated in previous posts thanks to those of you who do keep things even and fun.

I've noticed this as well when I've had an awp with laser. Though everyone else sees the gun with a laser on it, it doesn't show on my screen.

 

 

Admins should, however, watch for overly stacked teams, and offer to help fix it.  But this is going to have to be the judgment of the admin. If one team can barely make it out of the starting area, while the other team is getting to the saferoom, obviously help is needed.   If one team has considerably more "members" on the team, they will probably need help.  Either call for a vote to scramble, or ask for some volunteers to swap (usually swap a member for a newer non-member, or an admin can swap himself).

This second bit I agree with fully. Can we do some sort of PSA that pops up when people load in saying, "Stacking kills, not even once"? XD luls

A lot of the time a scramble or swapping is asked for by parties on both teams. I personally would rather play on the losing team than the winning team. At least then it's a bit of a challenge so whenever it's asked if anyone wants to swap over I always volunteer.

Also it may be a pain to always have to swap players around or do scrambles but each admin accepted being an admin and knew what that would entail. If you don't like doing it then step down, problem solved.

I was there for this game. Mae was in the game as well as zero but zero had to leave due to family issues and mae had to go to the other server because someone was having a problem with friendly fire working.

People on both teams asked for a scramble to happen, not only did it not happen but Merc left the game. I put up a vote for a scramble but so many people raged that all it did was stack our team more. Far to often are there players, not just admin and members but ALL players who refuse to move over to the other team because theirs is winning. I'd rather be on the losing team and actually having to try than to just have a game handed to me.

Most of the regular L4D2 admin know who the regular every day players are and can easily tell when a team is stacked one way or another, if you're an admin who tries to keep teams even then thank you for that; if you're not an admin who does that, why? Stop letting the stack happen and do something about it. Otherwise what's the point of being an admin?

I'll be there.

I'd really like to do a members vip run and maybe one of those games with just using certain specials. I'm down for whenever.

I'm diggin this idea. Might have to have it be a members only thing cause I'm sure new players coming in, the one's who refuse to listen to people, won't be complying. I like the idea of a full boomer game with either dual pistols or magnums. Hordes are so easy to deal with when you have a melee.

Yes I could've messaged either one of them, but not everyone has even one of the admin added. Personally I have messages turned off if I'm in game so I don't see the pop ups and when they are turned on I never pay attention to them hardly. I'm not saying there always needs to be two admin on each team in both servers by any means. I'm simply stating that if there is more than one admin on one server can't there be one on each side so if someone needs help it can be dealt with and won't be missed?

Can there be some consensus to the fact if there's more than one admin on the server that at least one be on each team? It's getting rather annoying asking for admin help and it either not being seen or being ignored due to all admin currently on the server being on the same team.

Was playing Dark Carni and was hanging off the ledge of the coaster so I typed !getup only it didn't get me up back ON the rails I was INSIDE them. Asked for admin help twice on voice, when there was no answer I typed it in game. I had more than enough points for two heals and nothing was done. Whether they honestly weren't paying attention or just ignored the messages doesn't really matter to me you have a good 20 seconds as infected after you're dead to see the chat. There are plenty of people on this game who use nothing but chat to communicate.

Nothing was even said to me from either of the present admin (Maestro and Merc) until after the next round started and their team had already run out of the saferoom.

Again the whole reason for this post is so that hopefully a consensus can happen so that if there are multiple admin on one server that there's at least one per team so this stupid stuff doesn't happen anymore.

 

Well personally I curse like a sailor outside of game and anyone who's even spent five minutes talking to me knows this. So if I can keep from doing it I'm pretty sure others can to. This is where a push to talk button comes in handy. That way in those moments you're cursing about someone it doesn't transmit over mic for you to get into trouble. If you have a mouse with extra buttons those work out well, though in game I think I have mine set as v.

Unfortunately it seems that a lot of people don't realize this.

 

It's really not that hard to do lol. It gets annoying constantly telling people to stop hot micing or to mute their mics when they're playing music or have a lot of people yelling. But I think a lot of people get confused between setting up a push to talk button for the game and one for steam, they're completely separate. The one I have in game is v but the one I have for steam chats is mouse button four I think.

Just wanted to state again unless there's going to be an admin in both servers 24/7 it seems fairly pointless to teleport people because they were unfortunate enough to be on the bad end of those charges. Otherwise people will be coming on here to complain that they pm'd so and so admin to come teleport them out but they never did and blah blah blah..... You see where I'm goin with this right? lol Either way I don't really care it'd just be one less thing for the admins to worry about and one less thing for players to complain about.
/smacks Peanut cause why not?

I personally don't think it's fair when players are teleported from areas like that. That's the whole point of the start of that map is for the death charges. If one player happens to be unlucky to be on the receiving end of it why should the other team have to suffer? Plus unless an admin is in the servers 24/7 doesn't that make it a little bit unfair? I myself have died from charges from there plenty of times, both when admin are present and when they're not and I've never once been teleported. There's quite a few spots in the campaigns where it's glitchy that a player can be charged to or even hit by a tank, just all depends on your luck at that moment. If you can't get out of the situation in a regular 4v4 you shouldn't be able to here either.
Anyways that's my two cents, maybe two and a half.

Hmm.... I think I'd rather have a rusher who at least tries to come back to their team than someone who's staying in the back constantly down who refuses to use or ask for points. Am I the only one that thinks this?

I'll be there unless something important comes up.

Can anyone shoot me a working link to see the l4d2 current server activity? That's about the only thing I need lol. It's a bit annoying having to load the game up, wait for the server list to refresh just to see the info.

Nvm figured it out thanks to tainted's help XD

I think I gotta agree the .co throws me off. I miss the gcftw cause it was just so for the win. -sadface-

LOL no it was just done very early this morning. You're not dreaming it and change is really happening.

Again thank you for all the apologies, even from those who really don't need to apologize; not what I was after. Yes there absolutely needs to be someone else to look after the L4D2 issues, especially for member against member or member against admin problems. Way too many issues go unnoticed on the L4D2 side of things and I have no issue saying so.

This is my final post on this after I've posted this I'm done with this topic.

Saying gangbang to a woman even as a joke is a talk of rape. And not just rape by one person but by multiple. Never is there a situation where it's alright to say something like that. This comment came from someone who I have no relationship with what-so-ever and whom I've never spoken to and has never spoken to me either. What ever you guys feel/think/need you need to do those are your choices to make and live with. He's had weeks to apologize to me but it hasn't happened. This entire situation has given me a headache and has honestly just left a bad taste in my mouth.

And now I'm done with this subject.

Thank you Jerky and cras both for your replies.

I did pm you crasx more than once and was told you were busy. Sent messages to san and jackie as well. ALL of those messages were sent either the day or or within the following 48 hours. So please tell me how messaging people helps exactly? I did as I was supposed to and filed a report it was ignored. I send messages and they were either ignored or I was told "I'm too busy". The only reason its 'too late for a ban' is because of the complete ignoring of me ASKING each of you for help.

If you take offense to this post then sorry but everything stated is the truth and saying otherwise is a downright lie.
