I don't even know where to start...
Ok I'll start here,
Mrs. Xen is just trying to say that noblock should be turn on for escape maps to make the game play less irritating. Yes, it might make game play easier but this is, in my opinion, primary method to avoid griefing which in most case would cause the server wide rage.
"Oh hey, you are an admin, well then just kick or ban that asshole off the server" And we do, we do it everyday. But here is the thing, admins are still PLAYERS. I paid that $11 to help clean up the server and make it a fun place for everyone to play, including myself. What does that mean? It means that we admins want to play the fucking game too. So when there are options that could help reduce some of the problems and give us more play time, should we not take it?
Also, how is rank whore and "I've been playing on this server longer than you" relevant to this matter? A rank whore would only play on zm and cade the near unbreakable spots and they'd avoid ze maps because it would do more harm than benefit their rank. All the admins in this thread have been playing long enough to put their opinions on the table. So it doesn't matter if you've been playing since computer was just invented, we all have the right to share our opinions.
I understand about noblock was off most of the time back then and the old school people do not want to change it. But time changes, we have so many new players and majority of them do want noblock to be on. And as for us new admins, we see more benefits and logic to have noblock on escape maps than having it turned off, its simple as that. So stop shoving the stupid accusations on someone that's actually trying to make a valid opinion.
One last thing, I fucking hate you elitists.
that was the dumbest thing ive ever heard from you. Thats an opinion more then a fact.
How many times do humans live on boatescape then desert fortess? NOT OFTEN. If you look at the ct wins to t wins for boatscape v5 and desert fortress, desert fortress is easier to win on. A cade map is easier to win on then an escape because... anyone could just set up a cade thats unbreakable and shoot at zombies. But someone who is truely good at zm, can work as a team with others and complete an objectives most people know.
I'll tell you one thing, this senior admin shit is getting annoying... people now sit in spectate for hours just because they don't want to lose senior admin, thats just sad. Why can't we go back to the old days when all admins agreed... As for no block, meh, w/e I am happy either way, shoulda had a server vote for no block and been done with it. Some of you guys take Z mod way too seriously, its a game guys/
we know its a game Spasm your right. but we don't want players to give other players a hard time. For me next time when i'm senior admin i'll make the vote for the players to decide whether they want no block on or off as well as all talk. if it can't be dealt with in the admins in the server, a vote should never hurt.
i'm not admin because i want to help myself. i'm admin because i want to make sure all players have fun. i dont' care if they are old players. to me Old Player = New Player i don't treat them any different. i'm an old player too. started my name as Ron Paul 2012 on one of my accounts and then i got banned for ztele from zombies when i was stuck to a human. Since using this latest account I learned to adapt to new rules and options. I'm sure Zero did what was easy for admins and players on the server over time. i feel this noblock option is very useful. i'm sure Zero introduced it when people were complaining about players who purposely block and creating a mass slaughter house. If noblock stays off then i feel Parachutes should be disabled as well on escape maps.
speaking of all talk. i do want it on at all times so i can find out whose mics spamming or talk to players while i'm on spectate of their concern about other players.
