    Pjofsky, every person who complains about being banned claims he was "banned for no reason". If you truly believe it was a mistake, post <a href='http://www.cofrfps.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=17' target='_blank'>here</a> in the CoFR forums and let the admins respond. I <b>guarantee</b> that you weren't banned because you were flying around killing skulks.

    I don't have a problem with this sort of thing for two reasons:

    1.) I don't generally comm (I get a lot of timeouts and my fps drops to about 10 in the chair which makes it difficult)

    2.) I almost exclusively play on Roob's (a small server (12-16 players) with lots of dedicated regulars).

    The two combined means that comm bashing is almost nonexistant, and if a non-regular starts to complain about the quality of commanding, he normally gets chastised by those who know better.

    I believe I have only commanded my team to victory once, but I've only played 3 or 4 games as commander all the way through.

    I generally don't jump in the chair unless I know my team is good. I hate commanding people with deficient mentl functions or people that are just plain immature.

    Oh, and about Cofr...it's an ok server, but watch out, some of the admins can be really anal about swearing. I got banned for saying 'crud' over voice comm.

    The night games are awesome on CoFR. Theres a nice group of regs... I see about 4 or 5 in this topic :-) I'll sit for 10 minutes trying to get on. Its that good.

    And Magitek is one deadly skulk. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    First of all, bad experiences do happen occasionaly. Don't rant and rave about it. And if you did demonstrate the behavior described by lemming, I'd support you getting kicked. I've played with lemming a lot, and he doesn't seem like one who would lie about it. In fact, I've played with most of the people who've replied to this topic <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And if you were a sucky comm, its ok. I've commed a couple times on CoFR, making sure people knew I sucked and I was new at it. Its ok, just let people know you're not all that great, you'll get some more slack...

    Oh, now i remember! I was shooting off my mouth and a funny thing happened. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> [long time ago though]

    Well, atleast now i dont waste time connecting to a server that has ... <i>that</i> kind of policy/sensitive admins (0MG U KILL3D M3! I B4N U, H4X0R!!!1", well, not <i>quite</i> like that but some [and <b>fortunetly</b> <i>very few</i>] admins are just plain bad in general.)

    Ok, I'm going to try to clear some of this up.

    For you complaining that CoFR ban for swearing, we down at CoFR think that your language reflects your maturity, and we tend to try to keep the maturity level on the server as high as possible. We know nobody's perfect, so we give three (3!) warnings before a ban. So no excuses there. And meatshield, I can guarantee you were not banned for saying crud. Think hard and try to see if there might be any other reason for your ban. If you truly don't think so, go post on <a href='http://www.cofrfps.com' target='_blank'>http://www.cofrfps.com</a> for an appeal.

    And please, don't say you get banned for killing an admin. Thats just outright rediculous. We have only banned maybe once or twice for supposed hacking before the server installed CD, and that was very heavily investigated/spectated. I don't wanna hear that you were banned by an angry admin who you just killed. All the admins are part of CoFR or hand selected. Maybe you don't know what CoFR is, but its a group covering many different games 21+ years of age that show maturity and friendliness. But yet again if you feel the ban was out of order, post at <a href='http://www.cofrfps.com' target='_blank'>http://www.cofrfps.com</a> .

    Please, don't make assumptions if you personally had a bad experience on the server. It really irritates me to see someone insult a group of people of people they don't understand. I'm not sure why you hate the server so much, but if you think it was because you were unjustly banned, I will refer you to the links above. I hope the NS community can show a little open-mindedness in the future.

    Nice one keyser, that was much more mellow than what I had planned on saying ;-) Although I would have made the same points.

    actually...i've been about a half a hair close to being banned for "hacking" on the server...and that was WITH cd. I got kicked several times and such. Thats why i stopped coming for about a month. I usually laugh at things like this, but i didnt want to get banned for no reason, and from a pretty decent server. It was pretty insulting.

    Most of the admins are really nice, experienced players, and will usually give you a warning no matter what you say, as long as its your first time there.

    Tip- if you're frustrated as a comm, go ahead and say whatever you want to your team, just don't have the voice key down. It really helps.

    play on Evil, 99% of the time they have clanners

    try
    Absolut
    Sleepless

    Fists of Ra is 1.1 now, Nano Gridlock is pretty nubbed up now, CoFR is impossible to get in for me in

    absolut and sleepless often have good players, but not all the time, whereas evil is pretty much almost always occupied

    Thats the beauty of 'retry' in the console.

    retry...
    <hit up><hit enter>
    repeat till you're on. :-)
    CoFR is the ONLY serverI play on.

    I am not going to discuss why some of you were banned in this forum. This forum is not the place to do so. Needless to say the reasons people have given in this thread have no basis in fact. Basically I see a lot of people trying to score some cheap shots against us, because someone posted a thread about having a bad game.

    This is what I say to anyone who doesnt like the way we run the server.

    GO PLAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO PLAY HERE.

    Frankly, I think this Jmmsbond007 fellow has a fairly poor attitude. I have been giving him slome slack, even though he tends to lash out at people on the server for perceived slurs against him. After this little fiasco, I think my patience has run its course. I know the people who have posted their versions of the story are to be trusted more than some blow in player with a big mouth. Thanks for coming Jmmsbond007, but you've worn out your welcome.

    I checked my email this morning, and I see someone has replied to my thread on the CoFR FPS forums. I check it. Here's your reply:
    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Well, we tried to Jmmsbond007 to help you become more involved in our community, however you have proven quite unequivocally that you have no place in this community based on you attitude when playing on the server and your one eyed views you have posted on the NS forum. I gave you a chance to come over to this forum to discuss the issue, but you chose instead to pursue your own agenda of self glorification. Thanks for coming, Jmmsbond007. Don't bother coming back.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    You tried to help me become more involved in the community. I can attest to that truth; everyone was welcoming me. However, I think the person with the one-eyed view is you, for not reading all of the posts in this thread and taking this thread as an interpretation that I hate the CoFR fps server. Read all of the posts. You'll see that I already played another game and I highly enjoyed it. The attitude was professional and skilled. Tell me how I'm pursuing my "own agenda of self glorification"? The only thing I could think of that I posted here would be me disproving lemming. To be honest, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm here trying to fix things up, and then all of a sudden you ban me? <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo--> Please explain.
    To reply to your second post, I never said anything about not liking the way you're running the server. I greatly insist you read the entire thread; I believe you have misread it and interpreted it as an anti-CoFR thread which it is CERTAINLY NOT. As for lashing out against people (should be person) on the server, I have no clue what you're talking about (except for that minor "idiot" incident). Next time read the entire thread before the insults begin flowing, please.
