welcome to the wonderful world of reserved slots.
Its random luck that you get kicked, so dont complain to us about it please.
Who knows? hang out here and in IRC and play often on the server and you might get your own slot some day.

Title: Kicked: No Public Slots Avalable
Post by: Dark on July 27, 2004, 06:53:30 PM

Who gave him back the rest of his name?  Did I say you could do that?  Does anyone care what I say?

As for the kick.....that sucks, but if you hang around enough, they give you a reserve slot.  You hope.  After several months of hateful ribbing, alliance making and breaking, and a lot of taunting because you don't have a res slot....they'll taunt you more because you don't have a res slot.  Then they'll consider giving you one, just in time for you to realize you need a life!

be grateful you're not on dialup.  With my 250-350 ping, i'm pretty much the resident HPB.  Ness is another regular on dialup, but he's got a res slot, so he doesn't count. ;)  Getting rslot kicked is normally the way i leave the server, instead of disconnecting.

Try getting kicked 3 times in one game just to rub salt in the wounds  :( Kept managing to get back on play for a while ( all in the same game ) and then got kicked. Once as a onos, once when I was chomping on a phase gate in a dangerous position. Annoyingly all the marines pings must have been lower since none of them got kicked once  :huh: or all res slot users.

progression of topic:
slotckicks --> HPB's --> res slot ---> niteowl can't count --> photoshop the count's pic --> talk about photoshopping the count's pic

Title: Kicked: No Public Slots Avalable
Post by: SgtFury on July 29, 2004, 06:37:51 AM
I thought res slots and the fact its possible to get one was just a myth, Perpetuated by the regualrs so that they always have a constent supply of fresh meat/willing subjects for the Lunixmonster!!!!
