2020 · Post by **2020** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 3:29 am

hada crappy bunch of games
when this guy entered the game as 2020
playing on the opposite team
but then joined my team
then tk me and others....

what am i meant to do in this kind of situation?
i kept playing
trying to show by my defence
that i was on the side of my team
but the other players couldn't tell the difference
and i and probably him
got kicked....
maybe only me
because i didn't even reject the vote for 2020 kicking...

in this situation
what am i meant to do?

Change your name.

Can't there be an autokick for TKing too much?

Go out - have a smoke - come back - change your name - relax and chill.

Weird that there are idiotic assholes in the world?

i work with a whole bunch of people
many other people would consider idiotic and assholish
however
i have rarely been a target of such meditated and targetted antagonism

It seems to happe a lot on arma.

Maybe it is the intensity of the game, or the ambiguosity of whether a TK was the fault of the killer or the killee. As has been said before, ride the storm, under a differenmt name if need be. sooner or later they will get bored, or find another victim.

I get targetted once a week or so one way or another.

i had this happen awhile ago so i just ended up changing my name and then it happened again so i changed it again and then again, now i am on another name,[Knob], ive pretty much just resorted to calling everyone a knoob who isnt better than i am, since their is no way in stopping anyone from impostering you. I posted like a year ago about getting passwords for names but i think it got shot down by tank or someone. they seem to go after people who win most of the time so maybe try and not be so good..

thanks joe
hehehe
i appreciate the compliment
however it must be for other reasons than play on the grid

regarding getting shot down...
i have seen this a lot in life...
it is a fundamental error in our educational system -
to be critical is a valuable quality
especially in science
however
it has its time

regarding name-protection
i suspect it will happen sometime
and suspect it is a problematic issue involving networks and centralisation...
but eventually it will have something like what happens here on the forum...

it is all to do with timing...

funnily enough the same guy turned up yesterday
but because there were enough of us who knew each other
garisimo vanhayes ghableska
he got kicked....

i think the best solution is a supporting team...
see you on the grid
joe
we are on the same side

the only problem i see with the whole password thing, and i think this was what tank said, is that all the servers would have to be interconnected or somthing, and their would be alot more data running through the four master servers. And another problem would be that people would go on and take other peoples accounts before they could set it up under the name, with passwords.
