This isn’t a personal thing by any means, I just got tired of having to stress out playing on the server when I came to play CS:S to de-stress. Nothing against you at all Kuros, and it isn’t anything you’ve specifically done that is sparking this at all.
And my better side would prompt me not to respond to Flakes because I’m pretty sure he has both the attention span and maturity of a spoon, but there are several things you have done that I can and will point out for you since you are obviously having such a hard time figuring them out.
1) Constantly starting arguments with me out of nowhere. You can call it “talking” all you want, but for some reason whenever I’m in the middle of a game you will immediately begin complaining about the team I am on and the weapon I am using. Maybe if you focused more on not dying you wouldn’t spend so much time in spectate mode whining at me through public admin speak.
2) Always switching me from one team to another at least once per map. I load quick and choose auto-select, yet somehow it is my fault other good players happen to join the same team as I, and you feel the need to call me out on it whenever my team starts winning.
3) Switching me to Terrorist just so I can’t kill you with an m4a1.
4) Acting like an *edited* to not only other admins, but the majority of regulars and non-regulars for no reason.
etc.
I’d cramp up finishing the list so I’ll stop there. The point isn’t that I want or even need special treatment. I don’t care that you took my admin away, I don’t care that you switch me from team to team (it happens to tons of people), and I don’t care that you love to start arguments and don’t know when to stop them. I play enough so that I only have to put up with you during certain hours of the day. You should seriously stop trying to flatter yourself.
Regardless, I can and have gotten over Flakes’ attitude. It is more the fact that several admins love to fight with each other and the players. I play on lots of other clan servers, and its remarkable how a few normal, level-headed admins can regulate a server and not have to deal with arguing, criticism, and empty complaints. I understand that the admins are doing the best they can. Alot of people are college students and have jobs and such and it is hard to balance stuff out. I’m a theatre major and know how that goes.
When I signed up to get admin, it was for one reason and one reason only, and that was to be able to fix issues when no other admins were present. I spent alot of time on this server when there were no admins on and we would have more than 1 obvious hacker on the server, or people spouting racial slurs at other players. It was ridiculous. And I thought that since I was usually on during these hours, I’d be able to help out by being there when things like that happened. Yet I was pushed out by people who were apparently in a bad mood at the time and attacked me for trying to appeal to the overwhelming majority of the players. I know that there were upper division admins on, and thats why I initiated the vote first. I knew that we were part way through a round and I accepted only on the pretenses that it would make it the next map after the round which didn’t happen. And I knew that Kuros mentioned that he would try to cancel the vote, and after a long time he hadn’t, so I went ahead and accepted. I missed lots of the text that apparently was thrown out afterwards because I had the menu AND console up on my screen. I just wanted what was best for the server, which turned into some heinous crime.
I’m sure I’ll be back someday, cause there are a bunch of really hilarious and fun people on this server.
And just for the record, I have no ill will towards any of the admins or players (minus Flakes) and want to thank you guys for helping me get back into this game. Cya around!
