Why do people do it? I've kicked and temporary banned several players today for doing it, it's really pissing me off.

I'm going to password protect the join command and make the password available on the server webpage along with an explanation as to why I've done it. I hate doing that but it ruins the game.

It's probably the most important feature in the feature vote: http://dplogin.com/dplogin/featurevote/feature.php?id=10010

But the serious gamers in our community follow whatever xbain wants. And he prefered hud indicators for flag and stuff like that.

I'm not sure that entirely fixes it, what about the situation when the losing side outnumber the winniing side? I think it should be based on score, you should only be allowed change to the losing team.

Don't really understand your question. The teams should always be balanced...

The players just need a better attitude. I join a game, say as red, both teams have the same amount of players and red is winning 20 to 3, I purposely switch to blue, the losing team! I like to try to balance it and take the challenge. I really don't know what you can do to fix this except keep banning.

That's the attitude we need, you're welcome on my server any time

Wasn't there used autobalance on some server?

btw I like when many people switch to the winning team, because I can switch to the losing one and play against more players

- It's more fun.

Haha well good luck to you and your gang of newby sycophants, I hope you'll be very happy together

.

Seriously, does it really not get your goat when they do it? Don't you think it ruins the game? I'm pretty cool about most things but I get really pissed off.

OT: tartjagger is it a home ran server?

**on topic**
who cares? if they want to be annoying then let them be
besides they are what is practically keeping paintball popular

dont argue with them - just do the right thing and YOU change to their old team

Viper · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2009, 12:30:30 PM »

its really great when some newbies joining the winnerteam, you should just join the losing team and get some easy kills

I really prefer to play in a short-handed team on pub

You know what? You're both right. Silly me for getting so wound up - it's only a game FFS.

ironfist was running a server to test some scripts out, including an autobalance function. cant say what happened to the scripts or the server, seems to have disappeared during my brief absence.

Problem sorted. I introduced a cron job that puts up regular messages, one of which says:

Console: Please don't keep changing to the winning team or you'll be banned

I haven't had to ban anyone yet
