I get it, some of you are young, competitive and full of ego.  It's normal.  I'm not here to steal your thunder or your gold!  I don't claim to be the best, or even close.  Most of you could easily beat me in a 1v1 or w/e.  After all, FPS is a young man's game and I considered myself washed up more than 10 years ago.  Covid sucks, but I thought I'd make the best of it and join a team that's in most need of players and also have some fun in public.  So if I somehow get lucky and grab gold or make a few kills, just relax, I know you're better.  I know some people take public seriously and enjoy the attention and reputation of getting high scores and medals.  I get it, most of us have been there in the past.  Just chill.

Ahhhh bugging.  Something's change, but something's never will!  I don't know exactly what constitutes to "up down" bug these days, but I thought it was continuously spamming z/ctrl, in quick succession of each other.  Bugging has always been a bit of a grey area.  In my opinion, it's impossible to police.  It happens to me all the time, but I never complain because there's always a way to deal with it, and of course, I'm not a little bitch.  Prefire, nades, don't engage, positioning, shoot the legs/ankles/feet, to name just a few.  Bugging was never an issue back in the day when bf was booming because when games are more mainstream, bugs like this (if not patched) are accepted, embraced and dealt with.  CS:GO Bunnyhop, ESO animation canceling... the list goes on.  The only reason it became such a taboo in 42 was that the community shrank down so small that a select few players with beta mentality got a monopoly on admin powers and spread their infectious way of thinking.  Normally you'd be told to gitgud or get out.  Remember TsT bug table?  The whole tactic for TsT revolved around that nasty bug table, far more difficult to deal with than anything else!   If anything, it just raises the skill bar.

I respect the rules though and never intentionally bug, because it is sucky.  What constitutes to an up/down bug?  I press z (once) in battle sometimes because it can disrupt the enemy's aim and throw them off.  It also momentarily tightens up my recoil. Sometimes I dive for cover etc etc  I don't think I've ever spammed ctrl+z, unless it's been agreed beforehand when playing a private 1v1.

Birds of a feather flock together.  I know how it works.  Pack mentality.  One dog bites and the others join in, until it becomes a feeding frenzy and he's all chewed up banned from the server.  Well, if you really think I'm intentionally bugging to create an advantage, just spare me the long, arduous warnings and kicks.  Just go straight to that IP ban button and clickety click clack.  I'll see simple and liga in another 3 years to see if people have grown up.

On a brighter note, I hit 40 very soon, but we're in lockdown here in UK, so no party party in Bangkok for me this year.  I will be eating plenty of TUNA and drinking beer though.

One more thing... I didn't want to scold her in public because I've got a daughter of a similar age.  I think her name is KILLER666 or something like that.  I'm pretty sure it's a young girl from what I remember, if it's not I apologize.  She's constantly harassing players on the server, especially if she isn't doing as well as she'd like.  In particular, she's always barking on about some guy called 000???  I wouldn't normally notice or care, but her sheer persistence and spam take up a lot of space on my 800x600 res.  Reminds me of G!ZmO on energy drinks!!  For days I didn't know who she was on about, and then I clocked it, some guy changed his name to something provocative when he achieves gold at the end of a round, eg.  000=____.  From what I've seen he doesn't break any rules, I've never even seen him talk in chat.  It's kind of harassment from what I saw.  Maybe her parents or guardian play here too? Or an older figure that knows her can ask her to calm down a little?  Anyway, apart from this and that and ra ta tat tat and raketenhorst killing me far too much, I enjoy playing on your server, so thanks for putting in the time and effort to maintain a nice populated server.

I hate making these long drawn out public posts that attract attention.  For some reason, pm's don't seem to have the same effect.  Please be nice or I'll set Lachesis on you.

Stay safe
