paroxysm April 20, 2013 Share paroxysm Member April 20, 2013 Hey guys, Your lord and master here( kiddin' ) Anyway, so I was banned from the server for pushing a bot AI over the ledge on the first level of rage harvest. It's been like 5 days and the ban is still in effect so I'm going to assume it's permanent. So, I'm going to take a break from the server and left 4 dead 2 for quite a while, not because of the ban but because I've been losing interest in the game(the ban was a good motivation), not sure when I'll return so don't keep your hopes up(or keep them up LOL ). I got important events coming up so I need to set this time sink aside(uninstalling l4d2 so I don't get tempted haha ). Thanks for the good times, I enjoyed myself and I hope you guys enjoyed playing with me as much as I did with you guys. Take it easy folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky April 20, 2013 Share Sky Member April 20, 2013 It took me a whole five seconds to open the sourcebans page and enter your name on a search string. http://gamrs.co/l4d/sourcebans/index.php?p=banlist&advSearch=paro&advType=name And, it looks like you have previously been banned for griefing as well. Maybe you shouldn't do it, whether the player is a bot or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crasx April 20, 2013 Share crasx GC Alumni April 20, 2013 in the mean time please refresh yourself on the rules https://docs.google.com/a/uncrash.me/document/d/1HD59hjrmt5A_nfBOt-irw4OiXhTWwkXSEArmoqwJg-4/edit#heading=h.lpm1y63nxr0x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrold April 20, 2013 Share Harrold Member April 20, 2013 I wasn't there when this happend, but in all honesty, I can't understand why Paroxysm got banned in the first place. From the link crasx posted, I can't see any violation of the rules from Paroxysm. You can't respect a bot, since it is an AI. He did not rush. He did not commit suicide He did not grief He did not stack teams The bot picked the bot up, Paroxysm did not do any point farming. Next, it's Blood Harvest, first map. Most times the game is over for most of the bots right at the beginning 10 seconds in, when a smoker-charger combo is ready to go. In my opinion this all comes down to the "I'm the admin OBEY ME" rule. Just my few cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix April 20, 2013 Share Fenix Member April 20, 2013 He did not grief Did you not read Paro's post? He said he pushed a bot over the edge and killed it....that's griefing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegant April 20, 2013 Share Elegant Member April 20, 2013 (edited) Nah, bot commited suicide. Bot caused griefing. Stupid bot. Should ban it. Edited April 20, 2013 by Elegant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madvillain April 20, 2013 Share Madvillain Member April 20, 2013 (edited) In my opinion this all comes down to the "I'm the admin OBEY ME" rule. To me your comment comes down to I'm a member, I feel entitled because I paid money to reserve a spot instead of viewing it as joining a community.

ValenAlvern April 20, 2013 Share ValenAlvern Member April 20, 2013 (edited) He did not grief Anyway, so I was banned from the server for pushing a bot AI over the ledge on the first level of rage harvest. Its unknown to people who werent on the server at the time and are unable to few admin forums, if the bot died. Judging that he was banned, it probably did die. This is griefing, if a player where to join and got the bot that had died, it would pretty boring to watch a 15minute game of a single map to not be able to play it. This prohibits another player from playing, inhibits the team of a "fair" game (The other team would have all their players). Just because an Admin could have resurrected bots/players does not entitle you to do whatever you want with it/them and would make rules on the server pointless.

JackieChan April 21, 2013 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 21, 2013 ...Why does Valen know the rules better than any L4D regular when he has hardly even played any games on any GC servers since becoming a contributing member? Sounds like a perfect candidate for admin if you ask me, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paroxysm April 21, 2013 Author Share paroxysm Member April 21, 2013 Just so there is no confusion, the bot did not die, it simply ledge grabbed as they normally do. Thanks cras for the link, it's quite a helpful document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garychios May 1, 2013 Share Garychios Member May 1, 2013 I see now why the server has been soo dead. Why are we pushing good players like Paro away? 99.9% of the time, he follows the rules. So he changes it up and the ban is instant? WOW! All this is doing is pushing players away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo you know I like you man but you gotta stop looking at everything like the "man" is trying to hold you down... its just a game and even Paro gets that, save your fight for the government. Not everyone is out to ruin everyone else's day and not everyone is going to see things the same all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan May 1, 2013 Share JackieChan GC Alumni May 1, 2013 I've seen a ton of times with certain regulars where they break rules right when they're going to leave the server for the night then whine about how they were unrightfully banned. Like suiciding or attempting to suicide but failing, being an outright donkey, or what have you. Seriously, if you want to be an donkey, do it in a random 4v4...on second thought, don't do it at all.

samurai nightling May 1, 2013 Share samurai nightling Member May 1, 2013 lol the ban was temporary in the first place, people seem to be forgetting this. If he WAS some average joe never been here before he might of gotten off with a warning, or a shorter ban. But he wasn't. Either way it seems he's happy to have some time off. Now everyone back to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
