Absolution <ibis.a> | 01-13-15

[Steamer]

The rule is 10 to 15. I do not remember if warning is necessary. We should write this shit into rules....
As it stands, it was at least 10 afk. This is petty.

so we don't allow people to go take a shit, make a drink or have a smoke without impacting senior admin anymore? seriously... am I missing something, cause unless zero made a new rule, he didn't abuse shit. this is simply racist pissed at him for the prior shit and trying to get him for anything he can. there's nothing wrong with an admin taking a short break to do RL shit.. never has been. if there's a new rule, please let me know of it otherwise he did nothing wrong by literally zero's own standards he set.

well I was personally told by zero a very diff timeline back in the day. this isn't a MMORPG... people have lifes, have bowels, smoke, drink, and sometimes get a phone call. to say "oh you were inactive for 5 minutes" but played the last hour or more and lose seniority is a joke.

While the 5 minutes does seem short, fixin a plate for dinner can easily take that much time, I have seen Absolution take the seniority claim as soon as the AFK manager puts the senior admin into spectate. Sadly with no proof though.

There is a hated rivalry here but it isn't just racist. A lot of regulars and admins have had it with his combative responses and quick to insult when proven wrong. Now I know, me saying this is kettle meeting pot but it should show something. If I make a mistake or in fact cause something directly, I will own up too it. This child here does nothing but shit on others and cry like a 10 year old.

I knew you couldn't lose it after 5 or 10 mins

cause you can't, nor ever have been. admins often make their own rules. that doesn't make them real, official or nonfiction....

So how long can you sit in spec and hold senior? An hour? All day?

from zero's mouth. 20/30 minutes. admin does not need to change and dictate every single map. map changes should be used sparingly as the rules clearly dictate. this insanely short timeline is complete random and new news to me.

Well the short time is probably because Absolution loves to choose shitty maps that no one likes (atix, rooftop, etc) and while rtv is in effect, it rarely gets the votes it needs.

look... you don't like him... racist sure as shit doesn't and that's all I see going on here. you're obviously allowed to have your own opinions of people as is racist. but I see an attack on him from racist for the shit he put him through recently and that's it... I also see him having broken zero rules. as i said.. if some new rule exists that blows what I'm saying out of the water please inform me and ill eat my hat. but saying he lost senior for being afk for 10 min or whatever short ass term racist claimed is a complete joke. the average map lasts what? 10-20 min depending on things... and admins should not be changing each and every single map.... there is zero validity to this claim.

and what steamer said is exactly correct.. this is petty. and it's only petty cause one admin hates the other and is doing anything he can to get back at him. In normal situations where admins act like adults they don't look for minutes and or any reason to jump down another admins throat. this shit is personal.. that's it.

A small update, I watched my demos again: Absolution was afk, with no signs of life whatsoever, for the entire map duration on Rooftop (15 minutes), plus about the first 2 minutes of Jurassic, plus (as I said originally) the last 5 of Voodoo. That adds up to over 20 minutes. Would you say that's long enough to count here? Don't you think it's kind of absurd for an admin on a busy server with many other admins to simply disappear for 20 minutes, then come back and claim seniority even though there are other active admins on? It's bullshit. And I'm not posting this to hash out some kind of personal dispute. This is an asshole who regularly sits in spec for long stretches of time (often much longer than the 20 minutes here), regardless of the number of players and admins on, then returns and worms his way back into the top of the seniority chain even though he should be at the very fucking bottom.

TL;DR.....all i know is that this is getting way too personal. Really senior admin??? OMG grow the fuck up and learn to co-play, im done with this crap.

The issue is that almost all of the ZM admins have different favorite maps. Once they get senior admin, they tend to pick only maps they like and other admins hate.

Take Racist and his large love for Ice Hold.
