    This is gonna be a very odd rant coming from a mod because it involves the subject of willingly breaking rules.

     

    These rules specifically being custom server rules in online games. More specifically, the banning of weapons/tactics that was clearly a feature the game designers intended for use, and are only there to stack the odds in favor of the people who run the servers.

     

    EXAMPLE

     

    Battlefield. Let's go with 3. There are servers out there that ban the use of stingers and other seeker type AA weapons on maps where helicopters can spread total hell. And guess where you can find the creators of these rules when they're playing? In a helicopter. If they're not in a helicopter, then they're waiting in limbo until the helicopter respawns in which you can continue to find them in a helicopter. I've not so affectionately begun referring to these people as helijockies.

     

    As for servers with rules like these? Well, fuck it. They may as well ban me now because if they're gonna employ childish tactics to stack the game in their own favor because they can't deal with the idea that someone's gonna use perfectly balanced counter-equipment to shut them down then you bet I'm gonna break that rule. I will wear that childish ban with childish pride. Besides, it saves me the trouble of accidentally stumbling into that server again in the future so it's really a win situation for me.

     

    I can understand and respect modded servers that limit tactics for the purpose of balance(aka hardcore servers that limit recon to like 2-3 slots, because honestly, 10 recon per team in a 30 vs 30 game is nothing short of chaotic.) but when someone's banning the only effective ways to deal with their favorite role then, well, I'm guess I'm getting banned. They put those stingers in for the express purpose of taking down choppers and balancing the field and I intend to use them fully to that benefit, children with admin status be damned.

     

    The rules may as well read "No killing admins." It'd be just as stupid.

     

    Nothing's more satisfying than shredding helijockies with unguided rockets though, if you run in to some shit server where admins only run air maps and ban stingers, just be a manly shit and castrate them from the ground with a good old fashioned SMAW shot

    I pub frequently to have fun, not to have some dick shouting at me to switch to heavy.

    On a side note, I too play to have fun.

     

    I've seen that video, Acesgamer is the very definition of that one dick. Everyone in the comments is even complaining and more or less holding the same stance I am.

    Vapymid last visited 3 months ago... *bows head, takes hat off* Today, we mourn the loss of a good soldier. X3

    Someone play that sad trumpet song. I don't know how to play a trumpet.

    We will always remember his 'regards'... in our hearts.

     

    @Rarity: Talking about having fun... when you're playing TF2 as red team, get auto-balanced to blu just as red win. :I Like, yeah... good job guys... wooooh...

     

    For me it's like *Is forced to join Blu* Hmm... no wounder why this team is loosing, four spies, no medic, three snipers, and engineers are using mini sentries. Whelp, when in Rome...

     

    That's usually not the problem. If your team is getting rolled, odds are less effective classes will be forced to switch or simply have less fun. I've been on teams with shittons of spies and snipers and rolled easily. It's mostly a result of the players simply not being good at the game. If they switch off to medic, they'll probably end up being that one who brown noses the heavy and drops uber constantly. Regardless, people who concern themselves with team composition in public matches annoy the living hell out of me. I pub frequently to have fun, not to have some dick shouting at me to switch to heavy.

    Apparently me and several others making this point countless times in the past holds no weight with anyone here but the goddamn point of the vent thread is SPECIFICALLY TO MAKE PEOPLE LESS FRUSTRATED

    NOT FOR YOU TO MAKE THEM MORE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE YOU'RE SO GODDAMN ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION THAT YOU FEEL THE NEED TO BELITTLE PEOPLE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY

     

    Jesus Christ, I left a vent about this a page ago and you're right back to the same shit.

    Rate the Last Movie you saw.

    Ant-Man

    8/10

     

    Never thought there'd ever be an Antman movie, let alone one that was well made and fun to watch. Only thing preventing me from giving it a perfect score is there was just a few too many scientific continuity errors for my liking. Other than that the humor was good, the fight sequences were good and in the overall it was just plain fun. I also really like the suits design.

     

    pretty much this

    My vent: I'm tired of coming in to this thread to see people FIGHTING

    I'm not sure if you guys realize this, but the whole point of this thread is for people to let off steam so they can at least feel better to some degree

    This may be shocking news to you guys, but FIGHTING WITH AND BELITTLING OTHER PEOPLE DOES NOT MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER.
