All Time Low - GT Servers and Minimum Pings?
« on: May 07, 2006, 08:45:25 PM »
I have seen it all now.

For those of you that have known me for all these years, and those new comers that have jsut meet me, the DP community has hit an all time low.

For those that remember, I have had broadband access for over 7 years until I started building my new house.  SInce then dialup is the norm with pings around 200-250 generally.  I have played all the servers, been the brunt of a lot of HPB jokes ( that I take really well, and I take a neutral stand on all most all of the daily fueding that happens in our little community.

Well, today the lowest of the low has happened.  I finally  got my ping to average around 140 -180 and proud as hell about it.  So I get on the GT servers, like I have been since the GT servers were created, and started playing.  a few minutes in to a game tonight and Sharon tells me to fix my ping or leave.

WTF????

Is there a minimum ping now? SO I proceed to get kicked from the server bu Sharon due to a 140-160 ping.  I don't know what to say.... I hope that Sharon is in the minority and this isn't a GT clan issue. >:(

I, well, am pissed. I can't believe it happened.  Maybe if my ping was 300+ but averaging 150??

All I can say is that it's not my right to play on the GT servers, it's a privilege, and they can run them any way they want.

Until I see something different, I chose not to play on the GT servers.

*** GT Rules ***
GRaFFiTi PaiNT
Server rules:

1: No visual abnormalities.
2: No HACKS.
3. No BOTS allowed.
4. No flooding server(oversizing packets).
5. No Abusive behavior toward anyone.
6. No settings that harm others will be allowed.
7. No spoofing names.(This includes clan tags, and use of a pseudonym to start hate and discontent).
8. If you are lagging in server you will be asked to reconnect.
9. If you are asked to stop spamming do your best and comply.
10.Yes netiquette is allowed!

You will be warned of these offenses after which you will be kicked and/or banned.
You can be kicked at any time for any reason. That is the server owner's right.
Yuppers, that is your right. It's your server. ::)

Obviously Sharon doesnt realize the lag is from her garbage comp which she has told us on vent that she averages 20 fps and she thinks thats good. "I FEEL LIKE IM WALKING THROUGH PEANUT BUTTER"

i was in that server.  indune was the map.  atm u had about a 600 + ping.  You said a rude remark and sharon said to fix for ping.  You stayed around for about 5 mins and the ping did not change.  She then decided to kick after your ping did not change.

"I am sorry if i offened you in any way.  There were lots of high pings in the server at that time.  I am trying to be fair about the fact that many people had pings over 400." -Sharon

I was not rude and my ping was not 600+. Maybe right when I joined but if I had a ping like that ( which is unplayable btw) I would have immediately left the server to see wtf was going on.  Sharon asked me to fix my ping.  I said " Yea right, Im on dialup"  Nothing crude or hateful.
This is not the first tiem I've been kicked from the server by her or other admins, just the last straw.

And XSV-Boy, if you don't have a ss of my ping, stay out of it, as when sharon asked me to leave, my ping was well under 200.

Knack IDK what happened, sorry that happend to you. I got more to say to  you below. Thanks XSV

S8kater she has a new computer you idoit. Go to Opraha ya freak adn stop piping in on matters which you clearly know nothing about.

James, right on par, picking on thoose less intellegent huh? Good job, hope you feel better about your self now that we all know how much better you are than her. What a moron. Why do you even bother playing there,really? "OMG THERE SO STUPID"  "YET I will play there any way" Why do you play there? You got other choices numnutz, use them.  nice 2 cents. How are they clearly idoits. Just the other day bain and taco were praising the GT adminship [derrek speficially] *shakes head.

Knack you were asked to do something, you did not comply. Are you suprised that you were? If so why? All you had to do was reconnect. That is all. You know the rules even if you dont agree with them. All you had to do was go to the forum and complain, before you got kicked. Why did you not take this course of action? Almost makes me belive you provoked her by not leaving untill she was forced to kick you [almost]. She has every right to do this. BTW where are your screen shots? This is no way a reflection of clan hatred to Smurfs far from it. We like little blue men, just like we like little green men. This is not fun for anyone. We dont like warning or kicking people. Perhaps if you were to use a little common curtisy and listen to what the admin is asking and simply reconnect then I would suspect there would have been no problem. Was this admin abuse, no. Was a player not following rules handed down and known about prior to playing, yes .Does Sharon have a agenda to kick people that ping around 150-200, no. There would have been hundreds if not thousands of complaints, if that was the case. Also are you banned? If so I will personally ask to have you removed seeing that your post was the only mature post that had merit. I am sure Sharon is sorry that she had to do this, its not in her nature. So what you should do is drop in vent and talk it out, if you care about such things. Knack i just noticed this....

Why were you kicked, I expect and honest mature responce, if not please dont.

eii Its not my server but I have talked to you about this and why those rules are in place. Find me one admin in
bf2 or americas army that pays hundreds of dollars for lag free gaming and puts up with one player lagging the server, oh and it does happen, look at my thread about GT servers and play more often, this is broadband era not dail-up. We pay for our internet services and we expext what we pay for, lag free gaming. 

Lastly one thing james skter smokey and others cant grasp due to lack of maturity. Is that those rules are in place for the sake of fun, not for the sake of our ego or bravado, something clearly you seem to identify with. Worthless traits.


Edited for your viewing pleasure.

...there we go.
Loial, you make me sad.

Sharon asked him to do something he really couldn't do, and he gets kicked for it? How could he prevent this/how is this his fault?

Eii, then why did he not reconnect or at least try to fix it, on dial up you can connect to a different access point less congested. She he asked him to fix it, exactly.

That why we need screen shots of exactly what happened. So if she was wrong we can show her why so that it wont happen again. We are adults that can make mistakes.

Untill then leave this up to knack and her, please.

Dont be sad. As I said before we do this in the name of fun for all not one.  :)
 
Please move topic where it should have been and also please notice the crap a GT admin has to put up with on a hourly basis.

Three quick things.

1.

I asked some relevant questions first, why dont you answer them. What she does on vent is what she does. Kind of like I dont go around telling people how you asked if you could make out with me, or if I every kissed a boy, wtf was that? All of this in front of children, which btw should been enough to ban you, but I am not an mad, just married.

2.

Why is the important? I dont recall that being a prerequisite to being an admin. I think fairness to other players is something you are forgeting here and why those rules are there. Go to other games that run PB and pay for kick ass servers, they dont put up with players that either visually lag or have a high ping

3. She asked him to fix it. She did not have to. Knack could have said" WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO" He didn't. I think like when Jitspoe got kicked last year on my server Knack is a victim of circumstance rather than a victim of a certain rule 'per say'or vendetta. Both parties from what I  have read [btw is pure conjecture and subjective to biasism as clearly show above] could have done things better.

Personally speaking I dont care. I like Knack, I like Sharon. The rest of you go to Oprah with your useless complaints.

Knack already said that this is the LOWEST PING he's gets. Pretty much ever. Reconnecting would probably only raise his ping.

Nothing.
He.
Could.
Do.

Again, as everyone else has stated, Sharon is not the smartest person to ever admin a server

as for the whole "connect to a different routing point" idea, why would anyone do that when their ping is the lowest it's ever been? really, why? shouldnt a server admin realize that dailup = HPB no matter what.  Not to mention that it seems as if everyones ping at the time was high.

You fail to mention how you said you had really kissed a boy

This isn't AA. K? This is DP. Sharon isn't the brightest crayon in the box, nor are you. Knack is a respectable person who had a low ping for once. Sharon had to ruin it for her own pleasure. If someone is lagging its not like its impacting the players on the server. 99% of them suck. And we all know it wasn't causing Sharon to play any worse.

He is a victim of blatant stupidity by an admin.

well, not really sure whats goin on, but it seems sharon thought Knacks ping was 600+ or something.

If this isn't teh case, and it really is just a case of "blatant stupidity", someone should tell her what a high ping and what a low ping is...?

Please dont lie, it ruins your credibility, but funny. So which color are you smokey? Lol Its so easy to generalize people you know absolutely nothing about. Nice guess work there pal. You and sk8ter are coming along well as Digi's and Bob's clones.

Why is the important?
Sure she could have been mistaken, I am sure if you have the balls to ask her your self, but I doubt this. Also you never answered any of my questions all you did was spew worthless lies about how she is stupid and did stuff on purpose. All of it untrue. Couple of things are wrong with this:

1. You sir are clueless or if you perfer 'stupid' on what good sportmanship and being a 'fair' admin is all about. So for you to call anyone stupid is hypocritical and good indication of what kind of person you are.

2.This has less to do with 'networking knowledge' and more to do with being fair. Something you are choosing to ignore because you are wrong and ignorant of what an fair and honest people are try to do, to make this game better. Please argue being 'fair' as it is more on topic than calling someone stupid. That should offer you a trip to the forum temp band wagon.

You need to bring more than this to the table. Perhaps a thoughtful, insightful responce from you would be warrented, appreciated and god dam refreshing. Not one thing you said up there is true (other than she did not major in networking, have you?) Nor did you answer any of my questions. Typical hater.


Everyone else. Please re-read XSV and Knacks post. He did infact have a HIGH PING, Knack admitted this. XSV commented on this and Sharon acted on this. Did he have a high ping when he got kicked? Who knows and why do you care so much there are worse things being done in this game (ask jitspoe) then protecting ones own investment. Perhaps if you had invested money plus time, you to would have a different point of view. Which brings me to Smokey's comment about this not being AA this is DP.
1. Duh
2. If you could think past Duh, you would realize that America's Army with all of its faults is a superior gaming model. That is why it is the most successful Free FPS around. Here are some reasons why.
  a. Organization.
  b. Dedicated admins stomping out the rift raft with PB and tight rules, something you are not used to dealing with. Get used to it.
  c. Money. People contribute to the betterment of the game. How many of you considered offering your time and money to make this game better. I can see from the above posts. Not one of you has. The only thing you bring to the table is your mouths, which if it was spewing something worth while towards the betterment of this game, then perhaps I could concede that name calling does this game good. Until then consider your actions, or do you? I wonder sometimes. Its not like your being held accountable for them. Good thing for you posting ability Jitspoe is fair. You dont see childish behavior on the AA forums. They are dedicated to making the game better not calling names. Good job on calling someone a name. What good did that do? Answer that.

This is something that Knack and the GT admins should be discussing? Why does he not resolve this with them? Please review this, right on par with the past interfering with peoples good judgment. http://dpball.com/forums/index.php?topic=552.msg4343#msg4343Notice the Date and time of my post. Please also notice that the adminship has improved, as declared by Bain and Taco. For you to complain about it and still play there makes you clearly the larger 'idiot' or less 'colorful crayon'. If Taco, Bain and I can see that things have improved clearly so can the rest of you doubters.

Lekky and Knack for his part eii are the only ones who are trying to make sense and who's argument has merit, But as described above and mentioned by my self and now lekky, if you care so much about this, go to her and help, don't be a geek.

 Lastly He was asked to do something, its that simple. He could have asked "WHAT CAN I DO" something each and every one of you has seem to ignore. Why? Because Sharon might have actually showed more 'intellect' then you are giving her credit for and would have been helpful to him. Answer that you...little minded persons.
