Pseudo March 18, 2012 Share Pseudo Member March 18, 2012 Wondering if this is a bannable offense? If not, seems something should be done about it. "-Draggie" was in the server this morning around 10am EST. He was on infected (I killed him as a boomer first), then he switched to survivors, suicides his bot using kill in the console and then switches back to infected, leaving survivors one man down right out of the gate. Here's 2 screenshots, don't be jealous of my awesome mspaint skills please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitterkill March 18, 2012 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member March 18, 2012 Did he switch to survivors or was he switched? If the latter perhaps he was just trying to get back to infected? Teams command is always tricky no matter what the game. Given how popular the server is didn't someone almost immediately join in to fill the gap on survivors or does the game not work that way? Not saying it was a good way to handle things if that was the case; you get switched suck it up and keep playing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an intentional trolling/greifing, he started map as infected, about 2 mins in, I killed him when he was a boomer. During his respawn time, he switched to survivor (using the command), intentionally kills his survivor character and immediately switches back to infected. This left the survivors with 9/10 characters alive for the entire map. At least that's how I saw it happen.

TNGHuntard March 18, 2012 Share TNGHuntard Member March 18, 2012 Huh. For some reason, I always thought the console command "kill" was disabled. I've seen most servers blocking the command with sourcemod or such. Jackie should implement something like that here if it hasn't been already!

Might be - could have been that he ran right out into the tank that we were firing on I guess, I was in the back trying to not get owned myself. I assumed that since he died so quickly after switching, he just used the console command. I guess it could have been a few different things in reality - I just didn't like the taste it left in my mouth, considering the way the game was going. I don't have a demo or anything beyond the screens, so no biggie. Just wanted some clarification on the team flip-flopping aspect, seems pretty lame.

TNGHuntard March 18, 2012 Share TNGHuntard Member March 18, 2012 Maybe Jackie should implement some sort of wait timer before you could switch teams again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madvillain March 18, 2012 Share Madvillain Member March 18, 2012 Tough call on what really went down there, although it does sound like griefing. Not sure how to call this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioKnight March 18, 2012 Share RadioKnight Member March 18, 2012 The kill command was disabled a long time ago in L4D because it was being used for griefing. Ive seen people do this a few times, if I see this happen, they can take a vacation from the server for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudo March 18, 2012 Author Share Pseudo Member March 18, 2012 Thanks for the follow up guys. No worries on taking any action on this particular situation, as there are a few things that could have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
