It is pretty simple. iv been playing sober this week and noticed alot of things most dont recognize as we sit here and attempt to figure out a solution to make the servers a better, less stressful place.

Favoritism needs to stop

all this "but he is a regular he can get away with it"

or, "omfg a girl playing css, give them a crown"

is ridiculous.

i challenge all the admins to do what iv been doing the last few days, and take corrective action for any rule breaking that goes on. you will be surprised at how much work it really is.

Good stuff Mikey!

Unless you're an admin I'll probably slap/mute you regardless of your status if you A.) Break my barricade, or B.) Are a feeble minded child with a mic.

(Of course, if you blatantly just come up, look at me, and thrown a grenade to be a douche.. Then I'll see you next week.)

i say cade break is auto ban regardless, i mean ive had a guy "accidentally" shoot my cade. so, i complained about it and hes like "lolumad?" i was like "FUCK YEAH IM MAD YOU DUMB CUNT, DONT FUCKING BREAK MY CADE" and he gets away with it because there was "no proof" my ass, i mean how is an admin supposed to demo and spec every player to watch for this shit? its ridiculous

Tell me, I'll certainly freeze them. Banning is a bit harsh though. You need to remember, not all people who cade break are bad. The ones I don't like are the ones who don't listen, but if you, an offender, respond to me with modest respect and acknowledge what you're doing wrong, you'll become an instant favorite.

I know DJ Mike is saying "Don't have favorites," but if you don't have people you can trust, say even other admins, then it makes your life a lot difficult. Witnesses help on many occasions, and although I find this method helpful for when I'm the only admin on in ZM with 39 other people, it may not work the same way for other admins.

Favorite for me does not mean "Oh, they can break the rules I don't care," it means they're someone who is worthwhile as a player, a regular, and a witness. But I don't go and instantly ban someone for 7 days because someone says they broke someones cade!.. Unless it's H0B0, then I ban them for 40 years.

I miss you Hobo.. D=

you're full of shit micky. the regulars make the servers fun and interesting. yes, don't put up w/ blatant rule-breaking...but neither must you be a nazi.

I agree that regulars make the server interesting. When I was playing a few nights ago with Res, Hobo, and various other old-school regulars, it was a blast. We've all mastered the game but we find entertainment through the various interactions and situations that occur during the gameplay. I may not be one for socializing, but regardless, that is what we do here. The community makes the game, and IBIS has a wonderful community of people I've come to know and respect.

There are times that these people leave, but most return. I know things may not last forever, but I enjoy the things that have no known purpose.. Otherwise they would really have no purpose at all.

Also, no need to be disrespectful Aku.

yeah, zm you really can't go by the "didn't see it, can't do anything" mantra. it's just too confuseing

im not saying not to have favorite players and admin-less friends on the servers.

think of it like this, a cop may have a best friend who is not a police officer but the cop when on duty must arrest him if he is to break a specific law.

i see people get away with so much shit because there "good" friends with an admin. The second i mention anything about how the rest of the players find it annoying absurd or to have them stop i get pinned the "criminal."

so you are saying it is alright for regulars to encourage other players into breaking rules.
