Recycling Commanders!

PhonesisPhonesis Join Date: 2002-11-27 Member: 10073Members
<div class="IPBDescription">How can we stop them?</div> I have been playing ns for a few weeks now, and am constanly being frustrated by people who log in, claim to be amazing commanders and get the position due to the teams trust and then recycle everything! Literally, and then run, saying "LOL, losers" before leaving the server.

One admin got someones WON ID who done this and wants to start banning people who do this, its annoying.

    I have seen this happen alot, one of the reasons why I decided to learn commanding and get good. Its a role that can be abused.

    Too bad you mentioned this because I believe at least SOMEONE may get ideas from here... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I sometimes do that to the TF in our base moments before were about to lose, just to speed things up a little <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Strangely enough, I have never been able to recycle anything as commander with that recycle button (e.g. when my teammates tell me to recycle a portal). I don't know why. Maybe that was "fixed" so you can't recycle stuff? And for that matter...why can't gorges recycle chambers? I've plopped down chambers in the wrong place accidentally, and you just have to wait until they are destroyed <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I've seen some guy join the alien team, evolve to gorge immediately in the beginning and plant a sensory chamber right in front of the marine base...
    Of course he got killed in the process, then switched to the marines team and told us he "evened things out a bit" <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    There will never be an effective way to stop llamas I guess

    I know that 1.02 had this feature in cos thats when I saw it happen, maybe 1.03 has sorted it out, hope so. It annoyed me, although its shame if its fully gone becuase recycling did have a purpose.

    1.03 still has recycling in. Only last night some noob called "NiGhtStALKer_NS_" came into the coronas in space server i play on and got to be comm on nancy, recycled everything then told aliens in talk bar then added "cs rules" before quiting!!!! Which made us laugh if anything.

    It would'nt have been so bad but we had been on that round for 1 hour and it was a big battle (15 vs 15) so it **obscenity** us off and many marines quit the room after it.

    Kick the commander and use the resources to make an offensive.

    Hehe, I hope your right Phonesis. I have seen some sabotage go on in this game too , but Its not as bad as DOD.

    In that you get players blocking ladders on maps with only 2 ways for team to get out, and tell the enemy team in talk bar "We have stuck them into spawn, take the flags" etc.

    Its one of those things, multiplayer games attract all sorts, soem are out to annoy others.

    What if he already did away with the portals and everyone died before being able to vote him off? If that happens your screwed.
  • BeetlejuiceBeetlejuice Join Date: 2002-11-07 Member: 7542Members
    Simply dont change commanders midgame. Right at the start he does not have much to recycle and if he just wastes rp (building ccs or something) then just kick him and quickly all go to rr to reset game and start over.

    Dont make lamers feel more importaint than they are.
  • ZarkarkZarkark Join Date: 2002-11-04 Member: 6889Members
    Err... Sorry, but how do you recycle Commanders?

    <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Now really: Vote him out, simple as that.

    If it would just work......

    I was on Misfire´s server last night playing marines and this guy TOM was in the comm chair.

    We where playing Eclipse and at the start he placed 6 spawn portals, 3 comm chairs, a turret factory and an armory. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> He wasted all the resources through out the game on this and a few turrets at base and spammed shotguns around the armory. We all voted him out, be he never got ejected <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That is - I would suppose - a bug.. (?) <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    On that - is it possible to eject a commander, he quits the game, changes his name and then joins (and screw up things) again ?

    Meaning: does the commander-ban look for name or for WON-ID?

    We had one guy the other day, game started he went in comm spawned 4 command consoles "msg Aliens saying Marines are Screwed" then laughted and left the server, next one to jump in spawned all medipacks laughted and left, when a decent commander got in started recycling it was to late Aliens attacked and game was over in 2 mins. I have also had some players going around as gorges and trapping there own team players by building on top of them. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    So what? You wasted 2 minutes. That is really not so bad. I feel much more pitty with the poor soul who placed the 4 command consoles. He will most likely waste his whole life in such desperate cries for recognition.

    Never have this problem in DoD. Of course, I only play FF maps. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It should be common practice for everyone that when this happens, everyone just f4's to the ready room and restart the round. It's fairly simple to do. No one tracks win-loss records, you just want to play a fun game.
