View Full Version : Persistent team killers...

Hi guys, sorry to make this my first post but I wanted to draw your attention to a squad full of players who were on last night and just kept teamkilling over and over despite pleas to stop from both teams and warnings people were taking screenshots to report them.
One or two of them did seem genuinely sorry later when they realised they might get banned from the server, others were only interested in having their own fun at the expense of others.
I told the remorseful ones that if they were banned they could come and discuss it on the server forums... I think a few of them just got caught up in the moment and tried to make an impossible situation fun by retaliating not realising they might get banned.
A lot of people said they were taking screenies to report them but whether they bother or not is another matter. I took a few cos it did ruin what was a perfectly good match and really got very unoriginal very fast, plus it killed the server which was full before they started but I did forget to take a shot of the final scores which would have been pretty clinching evidence.
As you pay for the server I assume you don't want 30 players suddenly leaving cos of the actions of a few and the 30 were all lamenting what a great server it usually is.
I hate to be such a goodie two shoes and it's not usually my style but here's the screenshots I got (only showing recent TK's in the message box). Keep in mind that this indicates just a small fraction of the TKing going on and those involved. I hope this is the right place to post this and sorry about all the huge images for a tiny amount of text.
After that rant I'd just like to say that I along with the majority of people on last night think you have the best PR server running and this is the first time I've had anything to really complain about (lets not talk about moronic squad leaders/members who won't follow orders... I think we've all been there)
P.S. Madmanwithgun seemed genuinely sorry IMHO.

Jeeeesus H. Christ that's a lot of TKing.
Going over this one in the admin forums, We'll need to find out who were the guys doing it intentionally and who just got caught up in retaliation (which in this case I can undersand as it's clearly spanned across several rounds :eek:)
We'll be wearing out the Banz0r button on this one lol :p
Cheers for the screenies Squiffy and bringing it to our attention
Just for future reference here's the Smacktard thread :D (http://www.tacteam.org/forums/showthread.php?p=9731#post9731)
Well because i'm sick to death of some people ruining it for others and besmirching our bloody good name, i'm going to ban the frakkin lot of them.
Pathetic morons who don't deserve operating a mouse should go back to their crapp playstations and leave the good players alone.

Rest assured Finglefang - as the other admins have said this will be dealt with ASAP!
I can't see the names in the screenies, so I can't search the database for their names and hashes :(
Someone gimme the names and I'll add them to the banlist tout suite.

Times of these rounds? a battle rec seems in order
Epoch I can see [GDHS]=Sonic_Stryker= (agree with Madtommy on this one Ban Hammer GOOO!)
and
TOME Sgt.Prophet
Like I said I think a battle rec is in order because I doubt it was just those two.
this [GDHS]=Sonic_Stryker= really pissed me off last night.. didn't see any TKing.. but he's a prick.
He would not follow orders...constantly attacking uncapable flags.. and called me a bossy prick when i was CO trying to get him to follow orders. Just made a difficult round unpleasent. He should get the hammer!

I gotta say those screenies only show a small slice of the pie. One whole squad just suddenly rebelled and we weren't even sure of loosing. They made it virtually impossible to spawn at the main base, it was basically TK base raping. Given that they made it virtually impossible for anyone who didn't have an alternative spawn to leave the base I gotta say I can see why some people would have just ended up with the "if you can't beat em join em" mentality without realising the consequences. (although they could have read the server rules on this site to have found out) I joined a squad with madmanwithgun and Sonic_stryker on the next map (after posting this thread) and explained the server rules and I reckon if they bother to come to the forums to apologise then they aren't going to team kill again, particularly as they claim it is their favourite server... :/
The people named and shamed in the screenshots we're only a few of the offenders so I highly recommend checking the battle recorder. The Map where it all really happened was Ghost Train and I can't be sure of the time exactly, somewhere between 5:30am and 7:00am I reckon. If it saves scores it will be the map where a large chunk of the Chinese team have -points.

Yes I did act very foolishly... and I am willing to accept results of my actions. But, please give me another chance. I was frusterated and did not understand the outcome (Ban). I thought "the round is lost... why not make the best of it". I do not know who began the teamkilling, but it happend. I am asking for just one chance I apologized to everyone that my and many other's actions effected. I promise this will never happen again. The sceenshots showed me... but the two shots were taken 5 seconds apart, showing the same kills. I did not start this nor did I kill as many as others. I know you at [T&T] pay the bills and probably want me out... I'm just asking for you to give me another chance. This is by far the best PR I have seen and getting banned is very sadening...
P.S. MadTommy... What are you talking about... You asked me to do something and "I" did it... I was a squad leader and I told my squad to follow your orders. My squad did not listen. They wanted to go on an offensive (Probably not realizing that it was un capturable). But how can you pin the blame on me when it was my squad. I cannot force my squad to do things they DO NOT want to do. And I did not call you "A bossy Prick"... I said you were "way to threatening and forcefull". When I didnt turn on a dime to do what you said... your reply was "Get your f*cking ass over there". You were frusterated that we were losing and that other squads werent listening. But you took it out on me. You said "Just made a difficult round unpleasent" and it was diffucult... but still the game is to have fun and do the best you can do... your orders were extremely hard to execute. When we tried to flank or come form behind you would ask " Squad(_) what are you doing! Get your ass over there". It was exactly your way or nothing.
I am sorry if I came off as a "prick" and I'm sure your a good guy... It was a frusturating round for our team...MadTommy I am truly sorry if I pushed your buttons that game.
I am also very sorry to those who were affected by my extremely dumb actions...
Tommy is indeed a 'good guy' and I trust his judgement.
For your teamkilling - one week ban from server.
Come back to the website and request the unban in 7 days (or it'll stay).
When you do come back on the server, act your age.

Thank you very much epoch... you can be sure this or any other events like this will never happen again

I appreciate you posting here.
But you had a squad named VOIP... i gave you clear instructions from the start of the round to Defend the Radio Dug Out, north flag.. so what do you do spawn at the South. Then for the next 5 minutes you ignore my orders.. by the time you get there the flag has been lost.. it cant be taken again but then you attack it for the next 10 minutes despite me asking you many times to move to another area. Then when you did say you were following orders you were just taking the piss. When i asked you to Defend the forest you went to the Radio Dug Out.. claiming you were flanking them.. please, do you think i was born yesterday. That was a joke.
If you play on our server.. the name should give you a clue.. follow orders if you are a squad leader and if your members dont follow orders kick them or resign as SL. And YOU DID say something simular to 'bossy prick', i'm not concerned about it, and i'm unsure of the exact wording.. but i only take that from people doing there jobs.. not you in a CO truck with your whole squad at the main base... that did wind me up.
Case closed and resigned to history. Clean sheet with me in the future.. but as a SL follow orders, and if you cant control your sqaud dont be SL.
Good points, job done. Water under the bridge.
Case Closed.
