You would think vets would be setting a example on anti-cheating/exploiting but surprisingly no.
I was on a server with a vet eat him as onos and he does the retry, so instead of him lingering in my stomach he gets instant HA again.
Worse of all a admin was there on this particular server and did nothing.

I think you posted this shortly after the 'incident' so maybe you were still confused...
Could you calmy explain the situation again and try to be more specific in order for us to help you with this issue?
-as this is what you want us to do I assume.
Edit: Okay, I understood <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Some of the Vets hardly qualify. They simply got away with being inactive and still got the medal for "playtesting."
In reality maybe they played a few hours <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo-->
Even admins retry on devour sometimes... even the first admin of a certain famous uk server *cough*
Most of them just have friends in high places who go round abusing their power and backing it up with "I've played this game since October 1993 so SUYF n00b"
In any server everyone gets the same amount of respect by me, be they veterans or new players.
Also, I have heard from a number (okay.. an entire 2) of playtesters (not vets) that Flay might be getting rid of the vet program as its too much hassle (supposedly people swapping clans consantly just to stay in the vet program)
Ya.. some of the vets aren't very cool people.
Vets in general are just normal clans who were a little bit better, got recognized and got to help out with 2.0. They aren't in anyway special. They aren't expected to play fairly more than anyone else is. They are just normal people with a nice icon.
maybe he'd died several shameful deaths earlier and his fuse had blown
get over it, thats not even an exploit
Hey, I had a bad day, I think I'll go recycle some bases. Ta-ta.
you go to devour someone , they can't f4 so they type retry in console, it takes less than the time to devour a full health heavy to rejoin and get your ha bk (depends on ping)
Yes it's a lesser exploit, but a vet should not be doing it.

as for exploiting there are a few of the "veterans" that dont carry the name because they are good + "honorable" players. there are some of them that like to exploit abuse etc etc. i personally feel that we should be treated the same as any player - not like were really good players blah blah blah...
Not if you're on a fast connection. With retry and 'jointeamone' bound you can get back in the game in only a few seconds.

<span style='color:white'>One more such comment and you'll be described fittingly be the word 'banned'.</span>
I'm gonna explain this...
Rockin, a "Veteran" in the NS culture is someone who was in one of the top 13 clans, and was allowed to play ns v1.1(now renamed to 2.0) before anyone else. Being they were highly dedicated players, and we pressed Flay so much, it was released early, without enough testing to see if it was balanced.
There are those veterans, then those who deserve more respect, because they know more about the game than you. They may not play better, but they know more about it.
Then, theres the veteran everyone should respect, no matter what- a REAL war veteran. God bless the fighting men...(and women)....
Give this man a cookie.
Do it in CAL and you can face serious reprocussions.
To dispell some rumors.
I
A. Do not know anybody on the dev team, any IRC ops, no Forum admins, and basically none of the playtesters.
B. Consider myself to be a decently nice guy. I don't exploit, well, I try not to as much as I can.
C. Try very hard to be polite as a rule.
D. Have been playing since the hour that NS was released.
E. Have been in what is typically considered a top ten clan for over a year and a half. Actively scrimming almost everyweek. That's the reason that the Vets were chosen. We were active and good players.
I'm sorry that a few of the ****-holes that got into the program are souring your opinion of the whole idea. What kind of proof would you like?
Oh the good old days of sieges that didn't need line-of-sight <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I have only seen 2 vets ever (unless you count Roobuba, he has the TSA tag, which is like a vet.... right?), and neither of them were particularly jerks. In fact, neither of them said a thing all game, but they played well, and didn't just save for onos (both of them went alien; most vets seem to).
Why have I only seen 2? Because i'm British, hence I play on British servers, And the overwhelming majority of Vets are Americans (but then, the overwhelming majority of NS players are American).
So anyway, seriously.... make me a vet. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yes, what you said. Except I don't play on Hamptons ALL the time, but Snidley put it really well to I think.
*cough* a hive queen *cough*
And I've also seen only a few vets ( I mostly play on Nanos and COFR), and quite a lot hardly ever talk.
