Going to buy Admin

[Andrew_Pavlik]

So with a growing disappointment over some of the new admins and the growing stupidity of people on the ZM servers I have talked my self into buying Admin, of course I won't do so until I get back from vacation in over a week.

I have been around for kind of awhile now, semi active on the forums, pretty active on ZM. So I know the rules, sort of, and I just don't wanna be one of these horrible admins who slap themselves into spots or give them selves restricted weapons such as an awp(yes on one time taz told me he was allowed to give himself one, and when I told him I would SS it he stopped) or admins making themselves invincible for whatever reason thinking it's funny to run around while zombies try to kill them.

I know many of you are aware of the horrible class of admins we have now, so I was wondering what advice you could give so I know don't turn into taz or a walter etc...

Also, I know this is a been a burning topic for awhile but it has to do with 'illegal' spots, the only spots I consider 'illegal' to cade are the with the wheelbarrow on roy_highway and the pipe spot on hospital. Sure these spots are breakable however with 30 people on that don't even know how to use there parachute I doubt these will ever be. Also, any vent that physically has a something in it but this is rare.

Also, a lot of admins have been preaching about this '2 per tube' rule, while I think extremely fair for most maps, I was wondering how the rest of you felt about this?

And last, I need a good place that has a list of admin/console commands.

The fact that you actively desire to not be a douchebag admin fills me with hope. You actually might not suck!

but, he still needs to understand the zm rules. there is no "2 people to a pipe" rule, nor should there be. in addition, there's only 1 illiegal spot (maybe 2, one on dessert fortress?). nowhere else is illiegal. also, the slapping thing is fine. admins always have, and always will. just don't do it excessively, and don't do it on escape maps.

about the commands, look for the comprehensive command list in admin help. it'll give you what you need to know to admin on ibis.

My Advice to you for not turning out a horrible admin, is do you job, be respectful and understanding and most importantly be yourself

they may not be listed in the rules but they fall under the category V, 1, A which is, if its 99% impossible for the zombie to tag ct then its illegal..

1. 2 per tube, i strictly enforce this, based on my experience having 2 cts camping the tube using the strategy 1 shoot 1 reload, will be almost impossible for the zombie to infect, unless they all work it all out on a train(which we hardly get the zombies to) but imagine having 3 in it?

2. money crate/cade(box with a money texture) i always tell people to not use this cade for 1 reason and 1 reason only, when you're a zombie and you pressed E on it to push it actually pulls. zombie have to be on top of the cade for it to push back, but before you can even get on top of it you have already being shot at. the next thing you know half the zombies are dead and the round is over and you are not even through..

just because it is not stated in the rule doesnt mean it does not applies to it or falls under its category.. you gotta think about the advantage/disadvantage of the situation..

correct me if im wrong but thats how i see things and it always works out..

I like you one eye, but you cannot force a rule thats not true. 2 per tube, you cannot enforce that rule. Your idea behind it is well put, but i see people fail in the tubes with 3 people more often then you would think.
