This is a nube apology and plea to be un-banned for team killing (well i assume it was tk, as I was a gunner firing from a Warrior AFV, at what i took to be PLA infantry, some 3-400m away, entering a village). This fire must have been effective, as i was kicked shortly afterwards. This was a week a go, Fri - sat 4-5 Jul 08 i think. I wasnt sure if there was a "ban period", as i couldnt log back to your server from PR. Hence my registering and apologiseing for my action.

This wasnt a deliberate TK, but ignorance on my part as to how PR works and the spotting and keyboard shortcuts work etc, not helped by my mike being U/S and having to type "team/squad" messages for advice etc.

I know this is no excuse for ruining some ones "playing experience, but i had only installed PR a day or two before and was unsure what "key" did what and how the game works, (so much going on and people shouting at you etc. I had downloaded your guide & wiiki guide, as well as making notes, but still alot going on for a nube). I didnt know that "X" gives you gunner zoom optics, as the "targets" were not showing up as friendlies (i take it because my optics were not on full zoom, they didnt register as blue ?) and I was slow to realise how to identify friendlies at distance on the HUD map.. "N" & "M" ?

I had been driving the AVF, with a separate gunner but he left the game or the vehicle (not sure which, so i took the gunner position). I had been playing very sucessfully earlier, as a gunner in Challenger2, with no mishaps. The driver was a frenchman i think, he was helping me to get to grips with the game for the 1st time (ammo types etc) and complimented me on my teamwork and gunnery skills (must have been lucky, as i didnt know about the "x" = ZOOM) !

I have been playing PR, off and on the last few days and have got a much better idea of how it now works etc and the responsibility you have as player to ensure you dont hit friendlies.
I have played on a few servers, "Tactical Gamer, British Army and IGI... but enjoyed the quality and help (even if short lived !) of the players on T&T.

Consequently, i have registered today with T&T, written this apology and made a £10 donation to your server costs. I would be most gratefull if you would consider my apology for "nube" TKs and un-ban me from your server, it wasnt itentional. Pretty please please.

Hi, thanks for posting.

I take it you're "madbad madbadwebbo" as that's the nearest match to your forum name I can see on the banlist.

We'll review the circumstances of the ban and get back to you. Normally this is put to an admin vote, but as the admin who banned you is online at the moment, you may get a quicker response.

Whilst we appreciate your donation, please understand it will have no effect on the decision.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
The donation wasnt intended as a "bribe", but as proof of my good intent and wish to join your server comunity.
Im a mature adult, with a sense of responsibility, hence my apology.

PS: how do yo get to shorten that "player name", i tried in BF", but it wont let me change it. It seems to have joined two IDs together ???

Ok.. i was the admin who banned you.

I in fact did not witness the 'incident' but your own team requested that you be banned for TKing... the request came from a trusted regular.

However i understand that accidents happen.. and it is not my/our intention to ban for accidents. I will take your word that it 'was' an accident, please don't let me down.

Your ban is being lifted as i type...it was going to be a month.. but as you have politely apologised i will lift it now.

But we will be watching ;)

It was indeed an accident... wished some one was watching more closely and offering advice at the time; leaving a NUBE all alone in an AVF with enemy & friendly troops about ... oops!

PS: How do T&T registered players go about playing together? Is my "player" name now flagged as T&T ?

No mate, you're not 'flagged' as [T&T]

We are recruiting, and there is a forum with recruiting information elsewhere in the forums.

Cheers

You are free to join us on Teamspeak, the details can be found on this site.

I'm always happy to show new people the ropes on PR, so drop by, and we'll squad up.

Thanks for that..
not had a lot experience with "on-line" games, servers and gobble-d-gook...
Have played HL2 - Day-of-Defeat online, which is fun.. but not realistic.

Biggest problem i have in PR, is knowing who is who and where they are in the squad on the map. There is no "number" against each SM, which would be so much easier ie: 0 through 5 or 1 thru 6. You would know who was who on the map, if they were numbered. Otherwise its just 4 green dots + you + your SL (who has a squad number)

Click on the squad in the squad menu, or the squadleader on the map, and that whole squad will turn white.:)
