Still should have equal sympathy as they still suffered major loss.
With gunner's server you have to study up a lot before going in or you're bound for failure.
I was on Gunner's server for hours with complete success, and I've never even heard a word about S.T.A.L.K.E.R., so that's entirely not the case.
Furthermore I see why this topic thrives; within five minutes of being on the server, Gunner got into a debate about the legitimacy of the roleplay with another player. He was on borderline banhammer mode before I came along and explained how much of a handicap he was being. It took far too long to get him to chill the forget out because we got a car.
The hilarity of the "Bandit" class is taken to extremes. While a Bandit is supposed to be able to take the belongings of others with no repercussions other than the imminent threat of death when you're caught, Gunner took vigilante justice to a whole new level. Upon stealing his car, he proceeded to flip the forget out, saying that he "wasn't in RP" and was "doing other stuff" when what he defined as "other stuff" was saying
in RP chat "Get out of the car." and teleporting a tank in front of my face.
Overall the server is atrocious, and Gunner is as immature as a 12 year-old girl. While I completely understand the lasting repercussions of a parent's death, the loss is no excuse to act like an imbecilic richardhead with a complete ignorance for his own rules, an utter disrespect for players and administrators alike, and a pity-sucking buffoon.
