Split teams Options

[Druid]

Split Teams
To little easy words, totaling all of 10 letters. Easy enough to be understood by anyone but is incomprehensible to some people.
An issue happened on the server recently where a group of people after being asked multiple times in the past to split teams when they play here, still refused to abide by this simple request. The request is for one reason, to keep it fair and fun for everyone playing on the server.
This time the issue went far beyond 2 or 3 people keeping the teams uneven as a way to boost their stats. This time it was obviously done with the malicious intent of driving people off the server as that was the end result. Then as juvenile poke at me and my request, all 5 of them kept it even, by switching teams together as a group but only after driving several players off the server out of sheer frustration. Then to top it all off, not only did they stack the teams but spammed the server with voice taunts 350 times over 2 maps. For some people 350 times over 2 maps may not seem excessive but considering most of the players in question rarely used them in the past, it leads me to one conclusion. I can only assume people on the other team where not leaving fast enough to suit them, so they decided they may as well irritate the other players as well.
The last time the subject of splitting teams was brought up. Someone didn't like that I discussed it in public and thought I should have contacted them via email and kept it private. Well guess what, this happened publicly on our server so it may as well be discussed here publicly.
I thinks it's worth noting they didn't want this to negatively reflect on them, so they did this while surfing.

I'm not sure why these guys felt like they had to make asses of themselves while on our server. I also don't know why they thought they would get away with it just because there was no MOB on the server when it happened. Then again, maybe they purposely picked a time when no MOB was on. I guess they didn't want anyone around who could do anything about their so-called way of having fun.

Last we come to what I think was a very interesting post on their forum about what happened.

When a regular from the server mentioned what happened.

WOW...this was a shock...i did not realize that TLD was doing this to MOB atm? this is kind of strange considering i thought that all the bad feelings were gone but i suppose i was wrong. erm...kinda speechless now that i just had to answer the phone so if i remember what i was going to say i will post it later.

Very dissappointed TLD ,

Apparently MOB guys as well. I was palying yesterday for a few as Hannibal; 2 times Diesel said even the teams, no one would go so you think he would switch & even them of course not. Him & Nate were both on the same team against 5 on the opposing including myself...SPLIT TEAMS.

This time the issue went far beyond 2 or 3 people keeping the teams uneven as a way to boost their stats

None of us play enough on the server to care about our stats

Then as juvenile poke at me and my request, all 5 of them kept it even, by switching teams together as a group but only after driving several players off the server out of sheer frustration

As I recall only about 3 people left whose slots were filled rather quickly.

Then to top it all off, not only did they stack the teams but spammed the server with voice taunts 350 times over 2 maps. For some people 350 times over 2 maps may not seem excessive but considering most of the players in question rarely used them in the past, it leads me to one conclusion.

Sorry Druid, that wasn't why. Aggression is a spam whore...what can I say.

I'm not sure why these guys felt like they had to make asses of themselves while on our server

I didn't get that same impression

I guess they didn't want anyone around who could do anything about their so-called way of having fun.

Blakjak was there. Oh come on that's weak...we were using Missioanry & had good scores..if a good player would have hopped in like a few usually do they would have.

Then again, maybe they purposely picked a time when no MOB was on. I guess they didn't want anyone around who could do anything about their so-called way of having fun

Would have made it more fun, too bad it was toooo late

It's to bad you don't use the same mentality while playing on our server as you do when playing on your own, i.e keep it fair and fun so everyone can play

Actually we do the same thing on our server, usually there's better players in there though. So the teams don't get all out of whack.

What's funny about this, is this was same thing we did while in MOB. It was never mentioned then.

I apologize for spawn killing a lot!
I will never spawn kill again!
When all the allies split we switched teams...does that count?

LOL thats pretty fucking sad...and who the fuck would pick John Stockton as their name lol. To funny but still i thought these guys were a little bit more mature then this.

What I can't understand is why people smurf in the first place.
Not man enough to show their real names? Everyone knows players are tracked by IP so why even bother?

As to the subject of there being better players on the TLD server...I've looked several times, as I enjoy the challenge of playing against the ex mob players, but I've yet to find a decent number of players on that server.

I'll stick to Goodfella's and DMG thanks

[DIESEL]

Why arent you using your reall names when you come in..I like to know who im killing and raping..as for {MOB} being on the same team nothing wrong with that as far i see as your were doing ok the teams werent stacked..then too many people were joing our team thats why i joined yours...As for spamming in the server thats why Agg got banned also..You guys use 2 be in the same clan for how long? Nice too see how long it takes for the bitterness to develop...As for better players ..>LMFAO.. U have 10 players on your server at a time and thats why alot of the old regs are on your server cuz u used our server to get them their..... be a man about it you shoulda used ur real names when you come on.. BTW have we done this to your server? NO>...time to move on

panz,
why do you guys even want to play here?
i mean, with your own server and everything, it seems a bit strange.
there would have to be some reason you and your team would come to a place in a small group, under false identities, and play on the same team....on the server you used to be a part of, no less.

twist it any way you wish, but it is obvious you werent coming to have a good time.
malicious intent to people you once were tight with is a dickhead way to be.
but what do you expect? glad i didnt know ya.

[Soul Assassins]

Right on Guys no doubt.

I guess maybe their bored?

Anyway Your right Nicky and no offense taken

[Druid]

Panzer it's funny you decided to reply seeing as how the last time this came up we were on the server together. When I asked you guys to split teams you through a tiff and left. Also when this came up last time, I specifically remember saying I kept my mouth shut several times when it involved you and a few others while in MOB, because I didn't want to create waves. Well, times are different and you are no longer in MOB.
I know from speaking to a few people that play on both of our servers, there is a running joke by some TLD members saying how the MOB server is a newb server now that you guys quit. The fact is we lost several good regulars while you guys where here because of this exact situation.
I also don't understand why you would claim the MOB server is suddenly a newb server seeing as how many of you still play here, just under different names.
"#1 CAMPER, Waddamelon, Herb E. Versmelz, Judge Judy, BACON STRIPS, Manute Bol, Shawn Bradley, Bugsy, KANDOR, cOlLArd GrEEns, Johnson, Breakyourself fool, Poppo Giggo, Ja joomba, [ESFF]3rd. lt. heiman, achi machi, JoHn sTOcKtON, COLLARD GREEN, Fried Okra, {666}Satan, CALVIN COOLIDGE, Hakeem Olajuwan, Catalyst, Drunken Chicken, Taco Bell, Dead Pool and gun for hire"

As far as, Diesel and Nate being on the same team, here's a few questions.
How uneven where the scores?
How uneven was the talent levels? probably not by much seeing as how you already said you were on the other team.
You do understand there is a difference between 2 people and 5 people. If you can't figure it out the difference is 3.
You are also trying to cloud the point when you mention BlakJak as being there.
He was on the same team as you until the 5 smurfing TLD players switched teams as a group to allied after chasing off most of the allied players.
You can't deny the stacking of teams was on purpose.
The log file shows "join-team" commands, 2 of you 1st joined the server as allied then quickly switched to axis to stack the team.
If the two who originally joined as Allied would of stayed on that team, this would of never been an issue.

None of us play enough on the server to care about our stats

funny you would say this, the last time it was brought up was because I had removed the players from the stats.
http://www.mobclan.com/forums/upload/index...?showtopic=3915

As I recall only about 3 people left whose slots were filled rather quickly.

No actually it was 7 people, the fact some of the slots filled back up is completely besides the point. There was no reason for you guys to come on smurfing, stack the teams to make it so uneven a 3rd of the people leave. Do you think I should apologize because your idea of having fun is ruining other people's fun?
Sorry, that's going to happen.
If you didn't think you were doing something people wouldn't agree with, why the need to smurf? One of the people was here playing with their tag on, soon as the rest of you joined, off came his tag and then as a group you went to town.

Actually we do the same thing on our server, usually there's better players in there though. So the teams don't get all out of whack.

Maybe you should tell Crafty that, because when asked about it on your forum he said you guys split teams to keep it fair and fun for everyone while playing on YOUR server.

I apologize for spawn killing a lot!
I will never spawn kill again!

Again why do you feel they need to change or cloud the subject.
Where do you see the words "spawn killing" in my post?
Although while we are on the subject, I play in several other servers every now and then to keep in touch with other players. On some of the servers spawn killing is against the rules, As much as I disagree with that rule, I abide by it while on their server. I don't know why you can't abide by a simple request to split teams when you play here. Or are you going to now claim I haven't asked you this exact same thing before?

Thats it for me for now.
I look forward to your future replies, I will happily respond to them when I get home late tonight.
