Author Topic: Port's Parkour Bounty Hunter: Understaffed  (Read 5453 times)


Those that have been to the server know what I'm talking about; you jump around along roof tops, collect better weapons, and you track ONE person. You're whole goal is to kill 50 "targets" to win the game. Using the parkour add-on, the server requires a lot of jumping, climbing and 'leaps of faith', and there are even hidden weapons for those whom have dedicated enough time to the server to search every crack and crevice.

Alright Adin, we get it, server's pretty great, get to the point already.

As much as I love the server, not EVERYBODY instantly understands how to play. You walk so much as five blocks and someone shoots you. Natural instinct? Shoot back. Hypothetically speaking, you take them out. Surprise motherforgeter, you just free-killed! This cycle repeats itself endlessly, irregardless of whether or not you let your free-killing attacker live, or if you just run. Someone will kill you, irregardless. But it gets SO much better than that, people like Lolgonewrong or Peter345 will BEGIN to shoot you, and then stop when your health is JUSST above nothing. If you shoot them back, they shout "FREEKILLING CUNT WTF" or something similar. (Sadly, no evidence of that. If anyone has any images of either of the two, please either post your images or just confirm what I'm saying.)

But that's totally tolerable. They do it a few times, then they learn. Or, if it's a troll, someone will eventually hunt them down. But then, a NEW group of hooligans joined the server; Cunt and Spitfiredude. Cunt first started off by multi-clienting with three clients... Then seven. Then 10. Then 13. Then I left. Now, this ideally shouldn't bother people, but it does. Let's say you're armed to the teeth and ready to go, your score is at 45, and your in the lead by three points. Cunt is your new target. Except there are seven cunts. You have to try and pick the RIGHT cunt, otherwise you die for freekilling. This grew worse when spitfire joined in.

Earlier on in the day, this wasn't a big deal, because there were fewer people, and they were all fairly experienced and mostly small groups of friends. But even then, over the course of the entire day; not a SINGLE admin showed up.

TL;DR
Server lacks administration, server is running amok, players are leaving because of trolls, people are getting frustrated. PORT, DO SOMETHING.

Final note
Do I expect all four players to be perma-banned on the spot? No.
Do I expect people to support this drama? No.
Do I hope people will upload THEIR proof of these users? Yeah.
Do I hope people who have been on the server can confirm my credibility? One can hope.
Do I think the server needs more administration, or maybe a new system to remove abusive players? yes.

i agree that this was a major problem, and i was on the server at the time, so you have my credibility. (i'm phob)

Well spitfiredude is multiclienting

support, most organized drama I've seen in a while\

been to this server. not sure about the multiclient issue, but, two things need to happen:

1) you need to get NEGATIVE POINTS instead of 1 point for freekilling. this will stop freekillers from winning and make massive freekillers obvious

2) the mod knows when you freekill. make a counter so that if you do it more than X times you get kicked. if you get kicked X times you get temp banned.

I'm not proud to say I'm very familiar with the drama section.

But at the same time, Ive made websites, taken creative writing classes, written poetry, sold cards for birthdays and mother/fathers day... Comes in handy. I mostly just try to get my point across in a positive way.

Snip
Both ideal solutions, however in referance back to lolgonewrong and the other hooligan... If you finish them off, you're the free killer. If there was a way to test if they had done more than 60% damage to you and then make them your target, that would be a side-solution of sorts.

Well spitfiredude is multiclienting
He is another known friend and troll...just today I saw him spamming a server by joining and disconnecting repeatedly.

I really dislike lolgonewrong.
I've seen him ingame before.

I designed the gamemode to allow for multi-clienting by giving each person a different color, but not THAT many clients! lol

Then you should look into removing that, or makin a cap off at 2 clients.

No, I will never do anything like that. Sorry, but I have 2 brothers that play on my account sometimes and it's nice to be able to all play together.

Anyway, this is more an issue of just banning the guy and isn't a typical usage example.

Then either do something about it or talk to Port. Groups of three or more people are leaving at a time each time someone does something like this. It's hard to keep a good maintained game when over the course of 24-hours, not a single admin is there. Your add-ons are great and I think I'm correct when I say I speak for majority of the server goers: it's a great server in terms of activity.

But there needs to be more control, at least have admins come on occasionally, see how things are going.

I have many images of freekilling. What website do I use to upload them?

They really need to turn off Self Delete

plus several of the jumps are broken lol
