<div class="IPBDescription">tee hee</div> Today I was looking for a good server to connect to and found one on eclipse with a fairly good ping, nice number of slots total/free, etc... so I join. Upon connecting I was met with the following message:

================SERVER RULES===================
1-6. Blah blah blah blahh same old same old

<b>7. Siege turrets are allowed to be built in the marine spawn and captured hives ONLY. If you use a siege to take an alien hive you will be kicked and possibly banned. Get off your lazy rear and do it yourself.</b>

=============================================

Me: 0.o

Jesus lord, what are people thinking?

    "Hey, guys... it's MORE FUN when you have to walk up to that wall of O towers backed up by 6 D towers and try to take it down using direct fire while avoiding death by skulk spam and piles of bilebombs than it is to plonk down a siege and let it DO IT'S JOB and get you into a place..."

    I mean, **obscenity**... it's called a *SIEGE CANNON* for a reason...

    I was on that server today, too. Oy...the rules some admins come up with because they lose. It's painful.

    lol I was on a server that ghimped Aliens heavy..
    They reduced alien attack speed so there was like, pauses between attacks
    Skulk bite had a 2-3 second pause between chomps
    Acid Rockets fired at half rate, it was sad
    We still won though LoL, marines were horrible players

    1)I, (name goes here) am your Admin and you shall treat me like god
    2)You shall obey me regardless of what team you are on
    3)You shall not hurt your lord or you will be kicked
    4)If you somehow kill me, you are banned
    5)All clan members in (clan name) are my disciples and they shall be treated with the same 2,3,4 rules.

    It's happened. I am serious. The guy would ban someone for killing him. It is just sad how many people can be idiots.

    If you dont like the rules or the ppl that run the server dont play there. Simple really. I see no need for someone to come onto the NS forums and complain about such things.

    My sentiments exactly. If you join a server that tells you to give the admin a cyber **obscenity**, frigging disconnect from the server and join a different one, don't come here to whinge about it.

    Guys... it's a story. Lighten up.

    One could make a similar argument with you, incidentally. If you don't like what people are posting, don't read the thread. There's no need for you to go into the thread and whine about it.

    Hey, I'm trying help <i>you</i> understand. I didn't say this thread was bad and you should be drug out to the street and shot for making it, all I said was that it's better to disconnect from the server than whine about it.

    Before you know it they'll ban you for using you gun to attack aliens. They'll say "use your fists like a real man"

    I was just ona server that felt Motion Detection wasn't fair, so it didn't work when we researched it (?) <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
    I dont know how they disabled it but all we could see was the hives. Shortly after.. <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Build siege anyway. Then you'll get banned and can't accidentally join that server in the future.

    I think this is a bug, and not an intentional action by the server. . . I've had Motion Tracking fail to work on many, many servers post 1.03.

    i'm not surprised that people feel motion tracking and sieges should be disallowed. i had the same feeling. i think both of those make the game boring.you can destroy all the aliens bases without ever seeing any of them. just siege walk across the map. how boring is that. the friggin radius on motion detecting from the observatory is so huge it covers the entire map. you only have to build one observatory on the whole map. so the aliens cannot do surprise attacks anymore. i watched some skulks try to trick me by going around behind me. i thought they were pretty smart but i killed them easily coz i saw them through the wall and i thought damn how lame and boring this is. what's scary about knowing exactly where all the enemies are at all times.
