[Briton]

I don't play a lot of online games, but Paintball 2 is one that I do play, mainly because it makes me laugh. I've been playing about a year now, and yesterday a player from Niggaz under the name of Gama-something (I can't really remember) it, quickly became outraged when I was killing him over and over again. He then came out with the phrase "But your a noob" and I had a brief but probably very accurate image of a 12 year old sitting behind his computer somewhere tears pouring down his face as he was hopelessly "noobed" again and again simply because he kept taking the same route through the level and I had figured out where to shoot to kill him (Note: I wasn't lining him if that's what your thinking).

I know I'm not that well known, probably because I don't belong to a clan and don't have my name written in the fancy text. However I'm one of the people who almost always gets a kill ratio of more then 1, and I also cap a fair bit as well. I'd say I was a decent player, not great, but alright. So why should I have to put up with these sad noobish people who think they own the bloody game just because they have joined a clan? I'm sure I could join a clan if I wanted to, yet this retarded piece of shit underates literally the way my name looks on the screen. My advice: Read the kill count before you make a fool of yourself.

Your probably wondering what the point of this post was. Firstly it was expose Gama(something) for the idiot that he was, secondly it was to outline the greatest flaw in this game - the community. The game is good, but people need to grow up, stop acting like idiots (if it is acting) and maybe this game could be a whole lot better. End of rant.

Gamabunta, don't be mad at him, games help him feel secure (same thing happened to me when i used the name LollerpopZ)

[Briton]

Look, just because he's staving off clinical depression does not really give him a right to act like an idiot towards other people.

Hey Briton, are you actually a briton, because I am. And I want to expand the numbers of decent UK players.

[Briton]

It would be a pretty stupid name if I wasn't   . So yeah I am British and a decent player.

[jitspoe]

Do you have any suggestions as to what can be done with players like that?

[SkateR]

Seperating servers.

I can't really think of many things that a free game like this can do. I suppose you could recruit a group of players you know to be mature and experience and make them global mods for the public servers that have the ability to kick and temp ban obnoxious players. There would have to be rules for the system (ie one too many temp bans results in a permanent one) and also ways of making sure the mods power is kept in check. The bans would have to be by IP address, unless you introduce an account system.

[jitspoe]

Well, maybe the global login system will help.

[PiCaSSo]

Tick Tock Tick Tock.... Ummm How much longer?? LOL

[loial21]

Cant....wait...much...longer...*gasp

[jitspoe]

The whole dpball.com situation isn't helping things any, and I haven't been able to work on it for the past week or so because of the holidays, but it's getting there.  There are still a couple critical things I need to finish before I can release it.

[loial21]

Like giving me access to the 'red' button?

[jitspoe]

The easy button?  If only there was one.

[PiCaSSo]

No Pressure Jitspoe LOL... Just hurry the hell up!! lmao j/k

[Briton]

Well, maybe the global login system will help.

Yeah it probably will help quite a bit. Lets you keep track of users anyway.

[PiCaSSo]

Haha Pokemon!!  I wonder if those cards would be worth anything now?  I found my son's old collection by accident the other day.  It's been so many years I'll bet he has forgotten all about them.

[loial21]

The easy button?  If only there was one.

There is Jitspoe.

GUI interface play login. If you are in a clan that is your only name and you can not change it. New clans must not be allowed to disban. There must be a time limit before a new clan can wear a tag. Show your commitment to the clan and the community. Same thing with new clan members. Its easier than it sounds. Or is it?

The button that sets global bans is 'red' ? If not it should be. If so may I have full access I promise to never use it.....in bad taste.

[Briton]

Firstly, WTF. Secondly there are actually no Pokemon in that sig, so you must be referring to something else completely out of place on this topic.

[PiCaSSo]

Ahh shit my bad...  That yellow bastard to the left looked like Pikachu...  PiCaSSo zooms in and notices Mario, Yoshi, Sonic and Kirby.  Oh well, I'm old and blind.

[jitspoe]

I just disable signatures and avatars -- makes the forum much more usable and less distracting.

[PiCaSSo]

And BORING!!  Signatures maybe but Avatars are cool and not as gawdy as signatures like Briton's.

[SkateR]

my avatar owns.

[loial21]

Pardon, but how does disableing the signaters and avatars make anything more usable? Less distracting perhaps if you are suffering from ADT. Please bring them back, they might not serve a function in your would, but they tell a story about those who use them. 

So please consider bringing them back or edit your responce to "I dont like them and I disabled them." Taking them away makes no sense. If they were so bad why did our host allow them and most forums use them. They serve a cosmic purpose. Stop tilting the cosmic balanace, Jitler. You are making the patron of forum designers upset.
 

[PiCaSSo]

Yeah No avatars and we'll hang you aside Sadaam ya nugget
