Title: Frustrating....
Post by: E-Fonzarelli on April 12, 2005, 08:41:51 PM
am I the only one bothered when you are really kicking arse (i think I was 25-4) and saved your hive and basically screwed marines only to get slot kicked...

MMMMM FUN STUFF

/rant off

/rant on

Someone said "Someone join so he will be slot kicked"

who knows if that was in my reference, but as I just stopped a 3 bacon attempt to rush a hive....

don't pay attension to me - I just like to have a fun game in a fun server and be kicked after I just played a big part in my team winning.

a quote from this site...

It is based on ping,

refering to being slot kicked....

now... being that i'm one of the lowest pinging regulars on the server and there is no way i would EVER be the highest pinger, how about saying HOW IT REALLY works?

if its based on ping, I would never get kicked...

unless the whole server was filled with slot'ers...

ok - now I feel stupid.

and the funny thing about what DM said is the fact that the next game, i got slotted 6 times. i'll agree that it gets annoying when its most of the way through a really good game and people in IRC hear about it and they all decide to jump on to take part in an "epic" battle, or when i get multi-slotted in one game, but i dont get mad about it.

on another note, you gotta admit that you guys got friggin whomped that game DM. Aliens didnt drop any chambers until after the second hive was up, then we took 15 mins tormenting the poor rines, who by that point were locked in their spawn.

EDIT:
Oh, and e-fonz, what ive found is that though the server may not appear to be full of slotters, they smurf a lot, so you cant really tell sometimes. it does go on ping, ive tested it myself on other servers. created a 5 person server, made 3 res slots, had it fill up with non-slotters, then had slotters join one by one and watched the pings of the people getting kicked. definitely by highest ping.
and to will: whine whine whine whine whine whine!!!!!!  XD

I cannot tell you whether the slot kicker works as advertised or not, but it is SUPPOSED to kick by ping. Trust me, that's how it's supposed to work. Whether you will choose to believe me is your affair.

Cry, I'm not whining.   :D It just aggrivates me when other people do like they are only ones who get kicked on a regular basis.    <3 you Cry.

reserve_type 1
One slot is always reserved (regardless of reserve_slots). If someone with reserve access joins into that slot, the highest pinger without reserve access is kicked to make room. Thus, one slot always remains free.

Right from the adminmod doc's... we have no control if it doesnt work as they say.

I really appologize for my outburst....

But please, anyone reading this, look at my ping time when I play.  Its never above 30.  How many people can say that?  Really?

My cable is rock solid and feeds to OKC then directly to dallas I believe - unless they've installed another pipe, which seems likely as this ping time reports.....

And before anyone says something like "Well you probably had edonkey turned on" let me say I only use torrents, and only at night when i'm sleeping.  So the chances of this working on ping CORRECTLY are somewhat questionable im(very)ho.

again, sorry for bitching yesterday

Yeah, I was comming that game. Stacked games are so very fun. Rubbing salt into the wounds of marines that dont' take a hive down or even an alien RT makes you cool-- in my book.

Really? Awesome, that means i'm cool in nite's book. My life is now complete.


I remember my days way back when i had to see WON pwn me for slotters. While i hope i never have to see that message again, you find ways to deal with it. We've all had times when we were slotted while comm or onos or the only gorge with res for a hive or winning an aweseome game, but it happens man.

The only solution to the "problem" you seem to see is to give you a slot, but if it were policy to just give slots to anyone who was tired of being slotkicked, everyone who ever joined LM ever would be a slotter... :wacko:

Yes I too hate getting slotted.  Its already happened twice tonight.  I would just like for someone to wait until the round is over before hopping on.  But whatever I guess Ill just find another server to reg on.

You can easily continue playing here, for most of the time. It's not like getting slot kicked perma-bans you :)

At first I was really angry about it, getting kicked 4 or 5 times a game and all. But I've sort of gotten used to it. The only times were I really get angry is when the reg goes on the team I was on. Changing teams mid game is definetely not fun  :(.

It happens all too often to me on that server.

ya it sux to get slotted, but such is life. everyone gets slotted, i've gotten slotted seven times in one game, going from aliens to marines at different times in the game. Instead of getting pissed about it, it's better to take it in stride, since there's not anything you can do.

Enough whining.  I am so sick of hearing about people who are mad because they got slot kicked.  Then there is the other half of people who think they’re not whining when they say ‘eh – it happens to me all the time, learn to live with it’.

Yes, it happens.  How do you prevent it from happening? That question has already been answered. (http://www.lunixmonster.org/index.php?page=rs)   Every complaint about it ensures that you go right to the bottom of the ‘people who deserve a RS’ list.

Side note:  This thread topic couldn’t be more accurate.
