I was playing on Crown's jail rpg to pass some time before south park comes on, and everything is fine except I can't help but notice the fact that the prisoners can never win because the guards have a geographical advantage. The structure of Crown's prison is so that any guard overlooking a wall can shoot any target that is:
- Outside of the cells or cafeteria
- In the yard/gym area
- Near the gate
Additionally, the guards sniper rifles deal almost lethal damage when the target is shot in the head, so the prisoners never won during the 10-20 games I played before I was banned by CaptMeat. So I guess I should elaborate on how that happened.
First of all, CaptMeat prior to our discussion on the game setup, was doing a fairly nice job at administrating the server. However, trouble arose when I tried to votekick Jetz for seemingly killing me out of the blue in the lunch room, completely unprovoked. He canceled the votekick and I asked him why. He responded by explaining that I had killed a guard earlier, so Jetz had the right to shoot and kill me regardless of whether I surrender or not.
My defending argument was that Jetz had not directly seen me kill another guard, so him knowing that I killed someone constitutes as, "
Metagaming. CaptMeat responded:
(This was his first response after I brought up the subject of Metagaming. This dialogue did not take place after I continued to argue for my point. I promise)
The solution I presented was that the server enforces a rule that states that you cannot kill a prisoner unless you actually observe them attacking or killing another guard. I related this solution to the garry's mod jail servers (Which is what these jailrp servers are actually based off of) and said that those use the same system.
CaptMeat responds:
So then I respond with something like, "you idiot, this whole gamemode is based off of garrymod jail roleplaying servers". A bit off kilter from how you should speak to an admin, but my point was in essence, completely correct.
After a short recollection, I list some problems with the balance of power in the two teams such as,
- Not enough keys to find
- People metagaming
- Geography of prison is impossible to survive
Which then he responds to a completely irrelevant portion of my argument which is that he is annoyed by people saying, "Metagaming". This sounds like I'm making it up so I'm going to put a picture below this.
Afterwards a short period of dialogue ensues debating whether the word Sandvich is related to Valve and if my name is based on Tf2, but that's not exactly relevant. The last significant portion of chat that I'll show is where he basically ends the argument with a petty insult, so I figured the only reasonable response to make would be something petty and stupid as well:
And then I was banned for 5 minutes with no reason which sort of disappointed me because I was expecting the reason to be a last-minute retort to the last thing I said.
Anyway, back to my original point, CaptMeat is incapable of making statements without letting insults and opinions dilute what could have been a great discussion on improving the gamemode, and therefore he is a bad admin.
