Just a Thought

Alright, here's a longshot, but what if OC48 turned into a friendly fire on server? I know it sounds ridiculous having so many players and stuff, but I think that once everyone gets settled in, it might be a little interesting. It would require better teamplay, better "so called strategy", and it would also stop all this nagging about spawn killing, support fires, flamers, panzering b/c all this is not posssible without killing your teammates. I am just requesting that the admin's / everyone just try to give it a shot. Of course there are accidents where you kill your own team, so that's why I think you should just have a limit, like no more than 20 TK's or so in a match. I don't know if this is possible or anything, but I'm just suggesting it. It also would show the so called "legends" from the "noobs". Panzers won't be able to camp in war room, locked onto the docs. Everyone will probably go MP40, etc. Not as many people will stay in large groups in the war room, things will get a more spread out. This will make it "actually possible" for the allies to win sometimes. There are a lot of advantages to this, but then there are disadvantages. People will have to get used to not being able to throw a support fire out the window when they respawn, etc. Anyhow, just a thought.

im sorry, but there are just too many assholes out there for friendly fire to be on. I understand where you are coming from Mike, but it just will not work. All of those jerks that have doorblocked or spec killed in the past, will now get their kicks by teamkilling. And on a 64 man server they will have a lot of targets to prey on.

Alright, point proven. :violin:

But I was just saying give it a shot, kind of like that "all knife" war oc48 had. Just try it for 2 rounds and see how it works out. Of course, as you mentioned, there are those people who get their daily kicks out of tking people.

Even though, i've been itchin to test out the TK part of the adminbot. It works VERY well and is VERY customizable.

Anything is worth at least a trial. you should test it out and get some feedback.

Although with having sooo many peeps on a server, tks are sometimes unavoidable... damn flamers!!!.. Knowing that the adminbot is very customizable, would you be able to just skull out after say, 8 to 10 tks, instead of being kicked off the server entirely??

My normal settings are to filter out FF on and PB on; just for OC48, I've switched my PB filter off but I think I'll probably have to find another server

if FF is on; really paranoid about killing own team mates accidentally and then get voted off!! :eek:

I've also heard stories about some people who would shoot lieuts too if the lieuts don't give them ammo...!!

It's really not that bad Gundam, I also know that medics, if they see a teammate low on revival, they can kill them, then revive them real quick to give them half health, so they don't waste as many packets. There is something admin could do to make it an automatic forgive. And to the point about flamers, if flamers realize that they get to many tks, maybe it will limit them and the noobs will stop using them. And maybe it should be 10 complaints to get skulled out instead:-\

ive been shot during ammo recharge by teammates before. ive done it a few times too...sometimes its nescessary.

the killing your own teammate and then reviving him is one of the coolest tk things. the first time someone tried to pull that on me, i didnt know what to think and id run from my own medics knife or pistol. hehehe.

if someone says sorry after they tk me by mistake ill go F2, im not out to spoil anyones fun...id hope theyd do the same thing if i was an accidental tk'er passing them a sorry.

I agree with you xnx....but....sometimes...when a panzer kills me on my own team....I have to press f1.

i tk damn lt's that take my ammo that i layed out for meds or other people. pisses me off so much when they do it on purpose. but yes id like to try ff on but i do think we need to have more admins that know the people there so hat if some1 tks u to the point of 10 health just so u kill them and get a vote on u then u should be ble to say something and the admin be bale to kick that person b/c he knows the regulars and knows they wouldnt lie about that.b/c 2 many times have i been kicked b/c a jerk would knock me down to 10 or 20 health and then i just get so mad i kill them b/c they keep after me

I hate that too, I wonder if there is some way the admin or someone could make it like...be a complaint if someone takes off 50 or so health:\. I know where you are coming from phoenix.

thank u atleast im not the only one. makes me feel better

by **MMmmGood** » Wed Dec 04, 2002 8:40 pm

That is called "bleeding" and there is a shrubmod feature to stop it.

by **s.s. one person** » Wed Dec 04, 2002 10:17 pm

well i dont think ff would be so bad to try it for atleast 2 rounds it would be cool, but there are a lot more admins ( ZOG man himself is one) he know who is who and witch ones are tking just for shits and giggles and could do something about it. (just my 2 cents)
