Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: Ultimus Fratrum

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week goes to TTT| Ultimus Fratrum (206.217.143.18:27015) for a highly abusive head admin named "[UF] Takumi Usui 碓氷 拓海" (STEAM_0:0:23408012).

Basically, I enter their server and have traitor first round. I pick up a sniper and snipe a player in the head. Now, to throw Takumi a bone, he could see blood on the other side of the house's wall (ttt_southpark), but it was a headshot and he did not identify nor see the body before shooting me. So in reality, he had no proof that I killed anyone; I might have very well just crowbared him. He continued his admin abuse:
|DI| Trid: hey takumi
[UF] Takumi Usui 碓氷 拓海 has set the health of Rare Green Traitor to 50.
|DI| Trid: your paypal is mclean right
[UF] Takumi Usui 碓氷 拓海: no
|DI| Trid: what is it
[UF] Takumi Usui 碓氷 拓海: like the email?
[UF] #Tylor: its greenshift44@gmail.com
|DI| Trid: yes
|DI| Trid: for jewgelds
[UF] Takumi Usui 碓氷 拓海: zyn@cox.net
|DI| Trid: k
Later, I (STEAM_0:1:7366484) sprayed my infamous porn spray to see if I would be warned. Porn sprays were not against the rules either in the MOTD or the "Rules" tab. Instead, he kicked me. Upon rejoining, I asked why he kicked me, to which he responded with:

This server looks new and they talked about changing weapons, so I might try them again sometime, but until then would highly suggest against joining them.

Best Gaming Organization of the Week: Bandit Kitteh's - Trouble in Terrortown!

I originally thought I would create this post for Conjoint Gaming*, but due to questionable rules and administration, I decided that I could not.

Instead, I would like to give the honor of first BGOW (pronounced "b go w") to "Bandit Kitteh's - Trouble in Terrortown! [FastDL]" (206.217.131.76:27015). A mob of metagamers lead by "basedgamer1987" (STEAM_0:1:42172186) decided to falsely accuse me of "trolling, griefing, and hacking" and proceeded to look up my SteamID on Google to find "all my bans". Let's look at the history of this "basedgamer1987" (STEAM_0:1:42172186) and his friends, "oh god" (STEAM_0:0:1088719), "Teleport Successful" (STEAM_0:0:2844404), and "Panic! In Your Mom's Basement" (STEAM_0:0:313243):

Teleport Successful
  • TBA
Panic! In Your Mom's Basement
  • TBA
Let's compare that to my bans:
  • TBA
Faced with around four people obviously metagaming and having basedgamer1987 tell them what to say, both admins online at the time, Bandit Kitteh (STEAM_0:1:16889502) and StarCrunch (STEAM_0:0:18825832) stood steadfast in their decision not to ban me.

They let me talk. I told them I only killed Teleport Successful because he was blocking the fireplace on ttt_trappycottage_b2—a traitorous act. I also admitted that I had insulted Teleport based on his accent to which I apologized to him: the last thing anyone thinks when faced with four trolls is civility.

I outlined that banning me for transgressions on other servers would be a case of double jeopardy—banning me for acts I had not committed on this server. Not only that, I pointed to my bans and proved to them that all the bans they listed were either non-permanent or unjust (as other posts on this thread can attest to).

Right now this server is encountering some technical difficulties, but I (STEAM_0:1:7366484) hope it stays up and matures into the great server I know it can be.

*Not to be confused with Convict Gaming.
