Woot, thanks gxti. Now we just need people in the server to test it out

Well, considering it’s a test, and there’s a good chance someone’s gonna get shot, I vote you Fascist.

As acting co-council-leader, however, I am free to make decisions that would improve the quality of gameplay as I see fit.

Osnap. Toldchu!

But srsly, you’re not improving the quality of anything, IMO. The game is balanced. What needs fixing (netcode and a few maps) can’t be fixed by mani-mod.

Restrictions are totally unnecessary as the game’s gun-economy is just like a real life economy in that, in the end, it is self-balancing.

I’m not going to cover the whole concept, though, as Cerevox has written several beautiful posts about it recently.

I have never issued more than a day’s ban without cold, hard proof.

I know I *edited* around with my friends (via slaps and whatnot) and have an itchy map-vote finger (Port, anyone?) but I wish you guys would realize I have some sense.

I have seen players I KNOW are hacking and watched them for 4, 5 maps without getting hard proof. They didn’t get so much as a slay.

I’m not a hard-charger when it comes to permabans but if you show up online wearing the [myg0t] tag and I’m around, expect a 24hour vacation.

I’m fair, I’m swift, and I ruthlessly protect the WCU community, but I’m the last to get an itchy ban finger when it comes to the permaban variety.

Demos of what? Of his myg0t tag? That’ll get you autobanned from most server anyways.

Demos of the stat system showing a 100% headshot rate?

Pssh.

he’s gone.

I immediately ban anyone who has the audacity to come into a server with that tag on, I don’t think its funny at all.

As do I.

BTW, where’s the page for the CS:S stats? Doesn’t HLStatsX support it?

roflcopter is he banned yet?

i think we need a logo contest..

Only if the winner buys me the fake splooge to use on Kuros.

That stuff’s expensive!

Now add 5 morons doing this, killing one or two people each, and you begin to see the issue. It’s supposed to restrict to one per team, but people are telling me it’s not working that way.

It gets ridiculous when a whole team has them but, then, wasn’t that what DWP was supposed to fix?

I still say 2 per team. 2 allows for balanced AWPing of the major run points of the popular maps (Dust2 has 3 or so good awping spots per team, so does office, etc) without whoring it out and having every hallway on lockdown.

The -biggest- problem with the AWP (and all other slow guns) is the “Q” trick. You know, where you switch weapons with enough skilleries that you get back to the AWP with it reloaded, somehow.

I can’t do it.

Port? Isn’t that the map that got fragged?

gxti said:

Something awesome.

Yes. Current logo FTW.

Just replace “Carolina University” w/ “WCU Gaming”

or something

IDK. I’m happy as it is.

BTW, I’m sooo gonna make a LAN party someday. I’ll at least have to come to one. With silly-string and fake splooge.

Kuros, you were warned.

Friends, countrymen, fellow Counter-Strike players, Lend me your ears for I come bearing grave tidings! This is something that some of you will rejoice at, and some will weep over. Weapons have become restricted. I speak not of the ever popular AK or the Colt, but of the AWP and the Auto. Weapons which all of you know well and have come to love and cherish! But these weapons have been STRUCK from the server! But why? you may ask. And i will answer. It is because some people see such weapons as a threat to the established order! They think that these weapons are too powerful and have no place in the game we all love so much.

 

I come here today to tell you that such is NOT the truth! The AWP, while powerful, is not a weapon that anyone can simply pick up and slay vast armies with. It requires great skill and dedication to be used properly.

 

Many people stop when they hear this and say “But it will kill me in just one bullet! That is not fair!”

So I go to the one who wields the AWP, and ask him, “My child, Do you think the awp is too powerful?.”

And he says “No, it is a balanced thing.”

And I ask, “But how can this be? Many people say the AWP gives them no chance, that is simply kills them all.”

And he says, “Ahhh, a simple smoke gernade could blind me and make my AWP useless. The AWP is slow to fire. You say many came to you to ask you to remove the AWP, but they all came to me, one at a time. When I use the AWP, i can not gaurd behind myself, or even to the sides. It is a simple matter to defeat an AWP, but no one is willing to try.”

And I ask him, “How did you come to use the AWP?”

And he answers, “I was killed by one who used the AWP many times.”

And I ask him, “But did that not make you hate the AWP?”

And he says, “No, it taught me to love the AWP, for just as you may strike one down with the AWP, one may also be striken. The awp will not garuntee victory, it is simply the weapon I prefer. I can not help it if others are so skillless they must remove anything that is greater than them.”

 

So I go back to the people who first came to me.

And I say to these people, “My children, Did you use your smoke gernades?”, And the people say “No, I did not.”

And I ask the people, “My children, Did you try and avoid the AWP?”, and the people say “No, I did not.”

And I ask the people, “My children, Did you flank the AWP?”, and the people say, “No, I did not.”

And then I ask the people, “My children, Why did you not use the AWP to fight back?”

And the people give no answer, just hang thier heads in shame.

And I ask the people, “My children, you made no attempt to defeat the AWP, you made no attempt to learn the AWP, and yet you come to me and say ‘It is too powerful, make it cease to exist!’ I think perhaps that it is not the AWP that is lacking, but you!”

My point here is, the AWP is an easy weapon to beat, its just no one ever tries, they just ban it from the server whenever they see it. Same with auto. The auto gets flamed as a weapon that any idiot with no aim can pick up and kill hundreds with. Not true. The auto is just as capable of getting spray and pray shots as any other weapon, which is what happenes when any random idiot picks it up. Yes, the auto is incredibly lethal in a skilled user’s hands, but so is any other gun. Removing the AWP and the Auto simply because you personaly can’t fight back agianst them is no “balancing the game” or “making it more fair”, its simply avoiding any difficulty you encounter instead of dealing with it. Grow some back bone or balls or guts or whatever it takes and confront the things you have trouble with. If you are never challenged, you will never grow.

This is the greatest post ever.

I love you.

TURN OFF RESTRICTIONS!

Making pub folks listen to you is easy. You just have to use a great deal of verbal abuse. And the mic. Or even better, both at the same time. For some reason being insulted makes people follow your oders, never understood why though. Ive gotten pubbers to charge into awp kill zones like lemmings before. although it might have helped that i had a score of like 17/5 and everyone else was 2/7 on my team. Controlling a team just takes some tough love. Orders must be accomponaied by insults. Every time they do anything wrong, let them know just how it, in great detail. While this may sound cruel, and downright mean, I can get an entire team of 10+ totaly random people to go exactly where i tell them to round after round, so there has to be something about it that works. Im sure someone here has been on a team where ive been ranting at them near constantly so they would know how it works.

P.S.

You can also cheat a bit if they are all piled up around a door. Just say the next room is clear(dosen’t matter if it is or not) and they will all rush in to act like they were in there while the fighting was going on. By the time they realize you were lying they will have killed all the defenders, so its a moot point anyway. Very effective when one awp is holding off 10 people through fear alone.

I like you.

right-o. even today I rushed around and used some deceptive trickery to misconvey my location (shooting up one of those penetrable metal walls) then scramming to get to another entrance before they look there. even running that solo I woulda made it except for this one guy got smart and was camping the hostie return point once he realized I’d broke in and gotten the hosties and was 1 v 1.

The problem is just that NOONE LISTENS. You get -yelled- at for trying to coordinate a team.

Goddamned pubbers.

Map voting is the most aggravating thing to ever happen if you play the same server for more than an hour.

Just my .02.

I -love- it the way it is.

That is both disturbing and, as a representative of the human race, I am embarrassed.
