Rank whoreing on zm: The good and the bad.

[Meltdown]

Because no ones says it yes I'm freaking huge pain in the ass I know it, I'm probably not making many friends right now but I want to shake things up abit, because it seems it is just being ignored and it take ages to get this done. I know the upper hands have a life etc and probably much more imported things to do. But I do like to have some kind of statement from above form zero himself if could and some info if there is going to be done something soon.

If he just says sorry guys the next 5 months I can't do anything we at least know where we stand.

zombie mod is fine stop trying to change what isnt yours.. and for you bitching about little town 24/7 means nothing when that's your most played map and it's also where you have the most kills. Just chill the fuck out with your bitching all the time its honestly just a fucking game and you take this shit to heart just play the game and stfu. And for calling people out like that isnt cool if you gotta problem with someone just pm them no need to put them on the spot like that.

So what i gathered from this thread is it went from a good discussion to a thread filled with fail.

So from Melt's post earlier do you really think that venomous deserves 1st?

I will never wait for someone unless they are a good play beacuse i rather save 1 good teammate then 10 noobs due to the higher chance of survival.

So in your view us regs should let noobs in our cade and fuck it up and get everyone tag beacuse they have no idea what to do?

If you are implying i should not even be top10 then i suggest you keep your opinion to yourself.

Look dude, you have mentioned Little Town like 15 times in this thread. You have more playtime, and kills on that map than any other map. You are an admin if the map is that bad, just change it. Wait until the cades are built in the second round open console and enter Sm_vote "change this map" [spam] [yes] [no] Whoever senior is can then see what the server wants. If the server does not want irt changed then for the love of god leave the subject alone.

I am unsure what you want to return Ibis ZM to. You have this imaginary vision of of the ZM server being all about teamwork. Since I have been here I cannot remember that server existing. I can guess that the community you were in before was something like this, and you want to change this server to match your old one.

B] People who play for rank in general don't help as zombie at all because they are to afraid to die[/B

This is also so far from the truth. The thing is I am sure all of the top players have !ztele bound to a key so they dont have to type. I can attempt to break a cade until i have 1-200 health left and ztele out. Its not that I am afraid of dying, its that if I give myself a minute I will regain enough helth to try again. By the fact that you have never killed me in game you do not know this, but everything you have said to Fallen applies to me as well. Do I wait for noobs in my cade? NO! The objective of the game is to survive. If you are a zombie it is to ensure that the others do not. Being a high rank means you have to try even harder as a zombie. You realize I joined the server the other day on the last round. Killed 2 people as a zombie and lost points in the ranking system with a score of 2-0.

Just leave this subject alone, if we get new maps that is great, if not play the ones we have.

Some of the opening posts had some substance, but lots of this went down in shit. Things that annoy me about the last few pages on this thread:

1. Rankwhoring has been a topic on these forums before. I doubt the general trend of decision is any different. We want to CURB abusive rankwhoring, not annihilate rankwhoring itself. That is impossible, plus it has been generally agreed upon that players may play in a fashion that is fun for them (I.e. those who like to play for rank). Cut the bad bud, don't uproot the entire plant.

2. Forcefully choosing what side you play on is the problem(spectate+zspawn). Selectively choosing what maps you play isn't a problem. People will play in a manner that they will enjoy. Get over yourself

3. The reason why 95% of zombies don't play till their death is because they don't want to be spectating for the last two and a half minutes. Duh?

4. Cading early and alone isn't even a point of discussion. The more people you have in a cade, the less control you have. Which means your chance of survival just dropped. Like tenfold. Cade breakers are breaking a cornerstone of ZM rules. They should be reprimanded and disciplined. So why go after people who are following the rules?

5. Honestly, there are very few impossible cades. Pain in the ass, yes. But saying impossible just makes you seem like a lazy ass

6. Don't flame. Singling someone out, commenting on their playing style, and making fun of how much time they spend on a map is low.

7. Basically, you're saying that ZM is no fun for you because everyone plays in a way they enjoy. Mmmm ok

Littletown is getting removed soon as that was one of the things that was submitted to zero regarding the z20. He is going to be busy for the next two weeks. There is only so much you can do to zombie mod, in terms of regulations, without destroying and driving players away.

Changing the server starts with a community mindset. If you want to stop rankwhoring, then belittle people and make that the mindset a reality. You cant have zero, clan or ULA dictate maps people play or regulating playing behaviour in certain maps. There is a reason why we don't and that reason should be fairly obvious.

If there is not a realistic discussion in this thread soon, its going to get closed!
