Whats with all the sudden adding of inactive players in the zm stats?

[Jeimuzu]

people should have the 131337 tag, it would almost be like saying, "Listen to them, they know as much as the admins."

Wait, can I quote myself? Anyhow..

They were great and I continued to use mine for some time but new admins started getting bitchy that we would be confused with admins.... LOL oh well.

Those new admins must have been a little... slow? No offense though.. If players ended up having respect, followed the rules, and listened to the experienced IBIS 31337 players, then wouldn't that be a good thing?

I learned nearly all the cading spots on the classic maps (high school, roy, panic v2, etc) from following around IBIS 31337's back then.

The thing about back then though was that you could help people more often (leaving a cade open a bit longer so someone could get in, or other things like that) because the admins dealt with things more seriously. The windows on the cliffside house on roy highway for example, if you were telling someone not to get near them, then they did, and got tagged after being told not to do whatever it was that got them tagged, they were booted.

Now if you try and help someone, it almost always results in your death, so the only way noobs learn spots is to either get lucky and spawn next to someone to follow, gang up and go to the spot where the last survivors were the previous round (almost always ends up being the general area of the zombie spawn), or just to use trial and error. But when they're forced to use the last option they usually just break the rules and cade break to get in somewhere.

Exactly. Once a bunch of people die, they look at the player who has the most kills (eth was one of those people the other night) and go to that exact spot, thinking they will have a free reign to kills and be "super leet".

Even when I pick a spot that is relatively good the next round five people decide to join me. And end up getting themselves killed because they don't know how to defend the spot, causing me and everyone who DOES know what they are doing to die in the process.

I only got to [IBIS Specialist] when i played, i wish the stats ranking would be thrown out and those titles brought back

I love the [IBIS 13373] tag, it was based on the time you played in the server.

So it gave me a better understanding who to cade with. If i saw [IBIS NOOB] I would be like, shit i'm not cading with these fags and so on... The system did work good. The more time you play the server, the better you should be at the game.

It was like...

[IBIS NOOB]
[IBIS REGULAR]
[IBIS SPECIAL] <---
[IBIS MASTER]
[IBIS 13373]

Um, as opposed to getting it when you didn't play??

I like that idea.

Started copying you? Don't flatter yourself. I started playing on this ZM server long before you have. Most people on the server today don't recognize me because I took a six month hiatus from the server. You can see my old post here.

So if I camp in tubes and vents all the time (which I do), what's the difference between that and binding a key to spec so you can get away? I even remember a few times where you've disconnected when I was about to tag you. Obviously those kinds of tactics isn't for rank hoarding right?

The only map I won't play on is Mines of Moria. I've never disconnected off the server for any other map, so I don't know who these "regulars" are that's saying I don't play.

Edit: I take that last comment back. Since we do play Mines of Moria so ridiculously often, it probably does seem like I disconnect half the time.

Holy shit Eth, you came back?

Damn, it's a shame I won't come back to anything IBIS runs (except occasionally glance at the forums to laugh at some of this).
