Well, you gotta take it like everyone else.  ^_^
If you play here long enough, if you are active in the IRC and forum you might make it and be nominated and the admins will probably give you a reserved slot.

most of us had to go through the same thing, and yes, we know what its like.

Holding south loop and dispensing heavy armor for a hive attack while south loop gets hit hard by fades and lerks, when suddenly! kicked for reserve slot.  I come in 5 minutes later and south loop is gone and marines are turtling.

Hang in there.  Why don't you come on irc as well?  our channel is #lunixmonster @ gamesurge.net.  If you have absolutely no idea what i'm talking about, this (http://www.lunixmonster.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=777) thread should be useful

Pretty much the same for everyone in the beginning, be active osv and you'll probably get a rs.

try to take more time to use periods and/or commas in your posts. this one is kinda.. painful to read.

I never got kicked off LM, even before I was admin ;) I was just lucky enough to be around when LB was looking for some, and he saw I was quite active, so here I am! :D

BTW: Don't expect the same thing to happen to you, it won't :p

Yeah, it can be quite frustrating to be kicked as a fade with 100 res in a close game ;)  It's still worth it to get to play here, though.  Something you might find helpful is to type admin_who in console to see how many admins/RS's are currently online.

1 / ((total players) - (admins/RS)) = percent chance that you'll get booted if a RS comes on.  So if you see more than 8 people when you type admin_who, you probably want to drop chambers/hive instead of going fade.  ^_^

Im  95% sure it kicks the highest pinger.. So do admin_who in console.. Then compair your ping to the other non-RSers in the game...You will know if you are going to get kicked next.
