Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: [DMG]

I recently finished playing on [DMG] TTT |One-Hit Knife|FastDL|Saved Karma| (66.151.244.2:27015) and left because of admin abuse. On ttt_terrorception5_fix, there were only two traitors left, Colin - FragRadio (STEAM_0:1:19166316) and DMG| Killhammer77 (STEAM_0:0:28958333).

First, I heard someone die in or near the office building. I then retreated to the hotel and killed Colin (I saw him kill the detective earlier, ironically I killed him in the same hotel room that he killed the detective). I then did a live check. No one responded. I knew by process of elimination that there was one traitor left. Finally, I initiated a radar bait. I waited in the bathroom for 25 seconds and then walked into the closet. As Killhammer77 walked into the bathroom I killed him from behind. Without a radar, he never would have gone into that bathroom.

I tried to tell him each of these things, the first three of which (hearing him kill someone, live check, and process of elimination) he flatly denied and I did not have a chance to give my most important piece of evidence before he said, "Argue with an admin and you get banned". A server without even the right to appeal before your punishment:

TTT:   The Traitors have been selected.Round state: 3
TTT:   The round has begun!
(Someone) slayed You
You are: INNOCENT

They also exhibited several other nefarious practices, such as accusing Colin of RDM x2 when he witnessed a DMG and his traitor buddy kill someone, but left before the admin could abuse and slay.

Afterwards, WeBuild4Life (STEAM_0:0:35132619) tried to simply ask about their rules as their MOTD was disabled, and they refused to answer any of his questions, until, in fact, they banned him for something he did not do, trolling (nor did he mass RDM).

(TEAM) DMG | Sir.Derpington: Actually on this server it is
Player :NxS: WeBuild4Life ºαQº left the game (Kicked by Console : Mass RDM + Trolling / Staff Di
(Someone) banned :NxS: WeBuild4Life ºαQº for 1440 minute(s) (Mass RDM + Trolling / Staff Disrespect)
HINT: As spectator, use team chat to talk during an active round!
(TEAM) DMG | Sir.Derpington: Then go play on another one where you know the rules

It should forever be known that DMG| Killhammer77 (STEAM_0:0:28958333), DMG | Sir.Derpington (STEAM_0:1:32357462), DMG | ๖ۣۜStool (STEAM_0:0:8403669),  and DMG | Update (STEAM_0:0:24641616) belong to an admin abusing clan. Even Three (STEAM_0:0:16691262), a veteran of TTT and admin of several servers, agreed that they do indeed admin abuse.

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: Metagaming.co.uk

As I'm playing early in the morning, English servers are the only populated servers. I decide to jump on [Metagaming.co.uk] Trouble in Terrorist Town (87.117.217.159:27015) and I play for a few maps. I killed a traitor and then proceeded to shoot Stephanov for shooting me after warning him to back off. He did not back off and killed me. In spectator, many players called for my ban after defending myself against Stephanov. At the same time, the admins slayed and kicked a player for RDM, and then banned him for a reason you can see in the screenshot.

The ban:

I can understand a slay for RDM, but a kick after the slay? And then a ban after that? And let's look at the ban reason: "You are not supposed to rejoin after a kick."

If a player is not supposed to rejoin after a kick, why does the ability to kick exist?

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: Ultimus Fratrum

Alright, so this night of gaming (April 8th) started out on NOT THE BEES, but that server crashed so I switched to Ultimus Fratrum (206.217.143.23:27015). I was playing on concentration and accidentally shot an admin (whom they called a 'trusted', but that does not matter because semantics dictate that a person with administrative powers is, by definition, an admin) with my M249. This admin was (UF)BeastJesus (STEAM_0:0:44322264), and note: I did not kill him. He insisted, however, that I RDMed him and would be slayed next round, which he did:

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#122804985

The abuse did not stop there. When Beast revealed himself to be traitor he attempted to stop a player from telling the server by muting him:

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#122805040

When he legitimately called admin abuse, another admin, {UF}NotFound (STEAM_0:1:35516581), stepped in and gagged him:

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#122805070

Finally, they banned him with no means to defend himself, both muted and gagged, you can also see the immature comment made by "[UF] Mongoose [BSRP]" (STEAM_0:0:7930505):

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#122805072

Here you can see the last example of his mediocre admining:

I (STEAM_0:1:7366484) do not suggest ever going to this server.

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: Pub Gaming

Technically this is another WGOW (pronounced "w go w") from last week, but the slot was taken for a shorter post.

Alright, so on 2011 October 9 at 11:40pm, ttt_losttemple_v1, I went idle to go to the washroom before the next round started. The moment I return, I am killed in spawn as a traitor. When the round ends I accuse my killer, -[PuG]-Bounty (STEAM_0:0:7854799), of RDM. Not only was my claim dismissed, but I was also ridiculed by several members, most notably Monp whom I assume to be the leader of the organization (ranked Head Admin). They said that Bounty was allowed to kill me because my traitor buddy did not kill me.

I posted an admin complaint/ban request on their forums, my main argument being:

Are neither of these individuals aware that on the majority of TTT servers it is illegal to kill AFKs?

Why is it illegal to kill AFKs on most servers? Because most TTT servers have it set to default for players to be moved to spectator after 45-90 seconds of inactivity (default is 180). This way, you have people in spec instead of potential stalemates (i.e. the last innocent and the last traitor are both idle), or stagnated games.

To which they responded:

tacosx22 (STEAM_0:1:23922408): ive been killed for that reason tonnes of times.. dont be such a bitch

Monp (STEAM_0:0:14987480): Good job filing a complaint because your traitor buddy got you caught. Too bad it was a legit reason to kill.

If my traitor buddy was any sort of TTT regular it is entirely plausible that he did not kill me based on the reasoning that killing AFKs is illegal on most servers.

---

It gets worse. We are playing dm_richland and I have my first traitor round. A little ways in -[PuG]- Charr Legion (STEAM_0:0:13399606) says, "It's PatPeter; it's PatPeter!" To which I responded, "What's your evidence? What's your evidence?" He never gave his evidence.

I (STEAM_0:1:7366484) can only conclude based on this night of gaming with this organization that Pub Gaming is a favoritism-centered, ghosting organization whose server should not be visited.

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: HeLLsGamers

I was just now, not more than 10 minutes ago, banned from HeLLsGamers' Trouble in Terrorist Town server:

[HG] 24/7 Trouble in Terrorist Town | Custom | FastDL | HeLLsGa
75.126.83.194:27015

During the first round, I was RDMed by an innocent, HG |`john [L] #BF (STEAM_0:0:3118430), with a scout to the head. The detective killed him. All right, the detective killed him, it's fine right? Wrong. During that round as well, -hg- Green Ranger#TRR (STEAM_0:1:11466320) camped in a bush on the other side of the map as a Terrorist.

I asked Green Ranger if he knew it was a rule not to camp as a traitor, to which they responded it wasn't a rule. Fine. I told them it was the general consensus of the TTT community, but they blew me off with "yeah, whatever kid".

Next round, I'm a traitor. I (STEAM_0:1:7366484) walk around a little, buy a radar, do nothing traitorous, kill not a single person. What happens? HG |`john [L] #BF RDMs me again. When the next round began I posted this link:

http://hellsgamers.com/threads/43175-Trouble-in-Terrorist-Town-Rules

The first rule of which is: "- No Random Death-Matching (No RDMing)". The admin rocketed me up and killed me pre-round. In-between the transition between pre-round and the round itself I said, "So that's why only HeLLsGamers members are in the server."

Disconnect: BANNED: No reason specified.
