thx to Angel.... you're right in every point! It's still my Server, my Rules and the choice of the players to use it or not.

Cristi asked for a Game-Host - it was my business to do him this favour until iF has the GLL Server sophisticated enough to offer the Game hosting again.

during the period of "Cristis Armagetron Server" i saw a lot of those self called "grid-sherrifs" - some Kids, who get the Admin password by Cris - kickin'other players without any further reason.

Thats why i changed the password!

In Fact: i didnt need a Grid-Police on the Server.

Post by Terridon »

hehe
you've seen some kids who kicked others..
i've seen gowernments **** up.. declare war.. does that means that none should decide for any?
your server, your rules.. yes.. but it's more tiresome in there than there have been for a long time...
and from what i remember you removed the status from at least one admin that screwed up.. that's the way it's usually done..

I don't want to get involved or anything, but I love a good fight. :)

There's still one problem unanswered. These guys say there's a bunch of douchebags on the server now that there're no police. Are there? If so, are you going to deal with it?

Mind you, doesn't matter to me either way, and it's your server and all. I'm just curious. Bystander, you know.

i didnt used the voting mechanismn for a long time.
now it's on again and i hope its a democratic way to fit the requirements of ALL players (noobs who didnt know better included!).

im thinking about two or three players i wouldt like to give the ingame password- just for the case of "emergency"...

Thats all who knew the password, except 4 Cristi. Wouldnt it have been easier to withdraw his admin rights???? I think you could have trusted us.....

But it seems that.........

Who cares?

Its just a game... indeed a VERY a good game - but still just a game. not a philosophy of life, neither a place for social intercourse or a replacement for
human relations.

i started this server three years ago, just for fun - nothing else ;)
i'm happy about every good player i can match with.

but i'm not responsible for your satisfaction!

Yes, i do respect that but that doesn't mean that i have to understand it.
during the period of "Cristis Armagetron Server" i saw a lot of those self called "grid-sherrifs" - some Kids, who get the Admin password by Cris - kickin'other players without any further reason.
So you call me a "kid" ? Sylv, i could be your dad, so don't give me this crap please. And i (or Vertigo or Terridon) kicked player without any reason ? How do you know ? Give me just one example if you can.
In Fact: i didnt need a Grid-Police on the Server.
In fact you do need an In-Game admin on your server. You say so yourself in the posting below. Does that make sense ?

All the people playing on your server care. Just read all the articles in this topic!

Thanx for telling me, I didnt know that. You think you´ve eaten wisom with a spoon dont you?

Then be happy. If you go on like that you won´t have anybody there you can match with.

Are you so arrogant and vain that you cant see that I f**** don´t care if I´m admin or not. I just want to play and match with others just like you. But this aint possible any more! If you don´t trust us then find someone else to do the job.

As Tank Program pointed out a long time ago - Armagetron is not democratic at all. Democracy doesnt work well on a Server like yours.
im thinking about two or three players i wouldt like to give the ingame password- just for the case of "emergency"...
Now you DO need in-game admins ??? You already had three good in-game admins. But you decided to give them a kick in the butt for some reason. Now you will have three other player as admins ? Why didn't you just say that you have something personal against us ? Then i would have left the server earlier.

In your eMail to me you said basically that you don't give a rats ass about the Armagetron community and that this is just another stupid game. You are wrong. This is not just only a game. You never figured this out yourself because you were never part of the community. You never wanted to be. Am i right ?

However, i do have to respect your opinions and wish you all the best for your future.

Guys,

I don't play since long time but you all teached me and made me like this game by your fair attitude and your ":)" ";)" "oops" or "Oo" "bisous" chats. I thought i was in a great community but i think, reading this discussion, you are all... drunk ...(i mean stupid)

I will continue to play with or without you on the grid but it's too bad !
Verti... you have to take back your leader position !!!
Norm, you have to protect Angel.
Terri...go read your book...your are still too good for me !
Schubert...i dont have the code.
Angel...bisou
Sylv ...make a cup of tee for all your friends (they need it) ;)

Hope to see you soon on the grid at the same time for a great big and fair match !

If you treat people in your real life like you do here .. then you must be a very lonesome guy.

I think we should stop this now. It won't lead to any solution. And it is getting too personal now. Would also be nice if you could stop insulting and ridiculing me via eMail, Sylv. Thank you.

have a nice and calm evening

oh guys.... :(

Thats stupid -.-

Can't we all just be good friends? alot servers are clean, like the ds, mbc or sp server...our third leader will set up an 2st server(located in germany), maybe with settings like 'armagetron.de'...europeans can easily play on it, with an ping under 200 ;)

sad to see you gone, guys. We all will miss you two :)

maybe...nah...you'll come back ;)

~|DS|~dest 8) see ya'll on the grid :|

and sry for my bad english ;)
