Vimk Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 if the choices are 'yes' and 'no', fifty-one percent is the majority And when 49% of the server leaves because someone constantly votes to go melee only, it kills the server. I agree with needing a higher threshold for the vote since it isn't something minor, it's something that disables 3/4ths of all the weapons in game.

ParanoidDrone Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 *whack* I set that server up, not FireSlash. I was under the impression that he was the one who actually owned the server, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with needing a higher threshold for the vote since it isn't something minor, it's something that disables 3/4ths of all the weapons in game. Bleck remains technically correct though. Melee votes definitely need at least a 2/3 majority to pass though imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with needing a higher threshold for the vote since it isn't something minor, it's something that disables 3/4ths of all the weapons in game. I was wrong, it's using whatever the default vote percentage is, which i think is 60%. I was under the impression that he was the one who actually owned the server, though. Yes, he is (technically, the donators are, but we'll ignore that one for the moment), but that logic ends as soon as you reach "with the right configs on it" because I'm the one who took the time to set it up with all the proper configs on it.

Necro Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I just posted an announcement on the Team Overclocked Remix Steam Community thing so we can set up some available times. I am lucky enough to have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings available this week. To note, yes this team is from Brazil. I attempted to log onto a server one of the team leaders was playing on. I pinged in at 200-300 with several disconnects. The man in question (Ota) top fragged which means that we are at least going up against pub stars. Final note: Thanks Powerlord for setting up the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeronaut Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 So after Powerlord restarted BLU yesterday, some kid came on and started making trade offers in voice chat. As soon as this kid was told that it wasn't a trade server, he claimed that the server (yes, OCRemix BLU) was "his server". Hilariously, Powerlord was on the server as well, and replied immediately to the contrary. The kid left within seconds. I'm not sure what he (the kid) was trying to accomplish, but he wasn't fooling anyone. (The demo of this can be seen here if anyone's interested; the kid joins around the 10-minute mark and almost immediately starts talking like he "owns" the place.) Unfortunately, speaking with Gamemaster about this shortly thereafter brought to light the fact that this may be a common, stupid attempt at trickery (as he's seen it happen recently elsewhere). I really hope this doesn't become a widespread issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 He probably was trying to dupe a stupid pub into trading and rip them off. Unfortunately for him we have a fairly tight knit group here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidDrone Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Well, the admins are all listed in the MOTD, so there's that. Although I don't know anyone who bothers to read them anyway. EDIT: Is it just me or did he sound no older than 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 So....can we get it to not be melee only on sudden death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I thought we had taken Sudden Death off the server completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivi22 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Dang, if only I had thought of that strategy for getting crates. Trade me a weapon for each and I'll give you every crate I have Brush. I'll also take name tags if you're low on weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 So....can we get it to not be melee only on sudden death? Aw, why would you want to do that? I suppose next you'll want to get rid of the 25% chance of every Arena round being melee only. I thought we had taken Sudden Death off the server completely. Only on Hydro.
