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:

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#124017394

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:

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#122805116

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

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:

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#121877848

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.

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: LethalAggression

I don't even know where to begin with this server.

The server is |LA| LethalAggression - TTT |Defib|Minigun|Silent Sniper|2K karma (74.91.114.71:27015). It is apparently owned by |LA| Excision on Ecstasy (STEAM_0:1:26100544), who represents the worst of female gamers. She said things such as, "Do you know how hard it is... to be a server owner... with tits?" I suggested that she make the following changes to the server, to which she gave a quick 'no' with no rationale:

ttt_fretta_mapvoting 1
ttt_voice_drain 0
ttt_postround_dm 1

Any server that does not have post-round deathmatch on (which alleviates tension in players who have not killed anyone for a few rounds), a game mode vote for which the only valid option is "Trouble in Terrorist Town" at the end of every map, and a microphone battery that runs out faster than ECG #1 (good server, terrible microphone battery) is a terrible server.

Later on the server, Excision decided to slay me mid-round for being AFK. This is two things, 1) admin abuse, and 2) idiotic as she should have just allowed the server to auto-move me to spectator. For slaying me, she only insured I would spawn in again. Any experienced server owner/hoster/admin would know this. When confronted on slaying me, she said, "Well, too bad."

Apparently, according to another admin named Sgt. Pepper (STEAM_0:0:13324704), the only admin without |LA| tags, the proper person to talk to about server configuration was a fish-someone. So maybe she was just running her mouth.

The worst part of the server was the overall immaturity of the admins. Slaying, slapping, etc. after the round is fine, but they were slapping people during the round, spamming music with PlayX (which does not respond to stopsounds since it steams from an entity, only playx_enabled 0 in console works) to which no admin knew how to disable, along with a number of other immature things.

A map later, I gave them a test. I sprayed a porn spray to see if they would warn me first:

Disconnect: Kicked by Console : Porn spray, keep it in your pants next time..

I (STEAM_0:1:7366484) do not know if this was a day ban, or permanent, but frankly I don't care to visit that server ever again.

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: Lets Do This Community

I just finished playing on the "      [LDT] Trouble in Terrorist Town *CUSTOM* | www.ldt-clan.com" server. It is absolutely terrible. First of all they use =(eGO)=™ strategy of spaces in the server title to magnetize players. To summarize from here:

I cannot provide the Steam ID of Badgers (STEAM_0:1:19641182) because he disconnected soon after I went to post this report. Basically Broken Demon (STEAM_0:1:10768362) said that anyone could kill him one round. During that round I exploded an incendiary grenade killing him. After the round, with no warning, no inquiry, and no discussion Badgers slays me on my traitor round. He then went on to further claim that Broken was killed by himself with an M16.

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#120211617

Zylone (STEAM_0:1:33340263) slayed me after I killed Valiant Sparkle ? Tristy (STEAM_0:1:37295513) for shooting at Keww(cats) (STEAM_0:1:33568098). I was almost positive that Keww had taken damage from Valiant, and yet I was slayed on my traitor round anyway for making an honest mistake. Once again, no warning, no inquiry, and no discussion was given.

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#120211818

What I don't understand is why you all slay for even the most minor of RDM. There's a system called karma that takes care of that for you, otherwise why do you even have it? ttt_karma 0.

For a server with "8. Be forgiving. People make mistakes. ..." these two sure weren't forgiving.

In addition to some of their more hypocritical rules they also have, "2. Only detectives can give orders, disobeying allows the detectives to hurt (but not instakill) as a warning." So basically detectives are Civil Protection from DarkRP, role-playing in Trouble in Terrorist Town, how fail.

Though I agree with their allowing traitor baiting, they disallow killing based on, "he is stalking you / hugging you", as in even if you give a player the standard three warnings, "not responding to a live-check", and "his weapon matches the weapon used to kill someone" (which is valid but can also be used for admin abuse if you followed the path of a traitor after he or she killed someone).

Update:I forgot to check on the thread, and have since read the results. It started with a very friendly Christmas greeting, which almost had me turn around my opinion on this organization, only for the flaming to begin by administrators:

my_hat_stinks (STEAM_0:0:6596910)
Alright, this is how you solve threads like these:


This guy is an idiot. Case closed.

Any questions?

And:

FRAG (STEAM_0:0:9884005)
This guy has been proven to be an idiot.

LOCKING.

So instead of arguing my point (STEAM_0:1:7366484): that slaying on top of karma loss is double jeopardy and therefore wrong, they personally insult me, immediately losing the debate. A community with administrators who do not respect their playerbase does not deserve respect.

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: Syndicate Gamers

Alright, I just finished playing ttt_stadium_v1 on Syndicate Gamers' "sG | Trouble in Terrorist Town"
(64.31.26.107:27015) and they've earned my WGOW ranking. Basically they have their TTT server set to limited microphone time to an extreme. A player can only talk for about 30 seconds straight with a very slow recharge.

When one of their members basically suicided as traitor by shooting in the middle of a crowd, me and another traitor buddy took the entire round because almost every single innocent stayed in one group. Half of their team later proceeded to troll and flame us, sG | PolloLoco [GFTF] (STEAM_0:1:13186616) in particular.

The main admin, sG | Sportsteen [SO] (STEAM_0:0:5893045), online also muted me (STEAM_0:1:7366484) for replying to all these trolls and flames, as well as respawning himself when he died as traitor.

Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: HeartkoreGaming

Surfer (STEAM_0:1:37961562) and =HKG= Rage (STEAM_0:0:41542511) displayed the worst qualities of this gaming organization tonight. I go up onto the valve on ttt_canyon_a4 to plant a C4 as traitor and Surfer calls me out as having sniped people and thrown away the sniper. I had never had a sniper that round, ipso facto could not throw one away. I had a MAC10 and had not planted my C4 yet. There weren't even weapons on the ground:

http://www.xfire.com/profile/patpeter/screenshots/?view#119164088

As surfer continued to call me out, Rage started shooting me with a scout, eventually killing me.

TTT:   Let's look at the round report for 15 seconds.
    *** Damage log:
    00:55.33 - DMG:      SmurftYours [detective] damaged Da Big Man [innocent] for 149 dmg
    00:55.33 - KILL:     SmurftYours [detective] killed Da Big Man [innocent]

    02:46.60 - KILL:     =HKG= Rage [innocent] killed |UGA|PatPeter [traitor]
    *** Damage log end.

When I told him he RDMed, he responded with:

=HKG= Rage: "Hey PatPeter, I'm an admin. Therefore your argument is invalid."

I (STEAM_0:1:7366484) will not even bother to post an admin abuse report on their forums if they allow this sort of ideology.

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.
