Talking about gamemodes, any word about VIP returning? if we have 2 overplayed gamemodes and 2 gamemodes nobody wants/can play nor we are gonna take them out, lets add a classic.

Without admin????? Are you kidding?

I like admins on HOG. They have done a much better job in the past month or so. I am planning on playing on HOG the next 2 days, hoping I can get a nice spot!

But man, last night on Sbeneh, MEC team was retarded. (Except my squad and APC and Tank sqds, my squad had best score.... 6200 score and 2k teamwork). We were at orchards the entire round. Fun round, but some issues arose for global chat spam.
I like playing on HOG, and will do if the admins keep up the great work.

Just a reminder to ALL pr players:

YOUR WARNING is listed here: =HOG=: PR Server Rules

YOUR REFUSAL to follow the above warnings will result in kicks and or bans. WE are not so stupid that we will keep warning over and over again. Coming into here or our forums and saying, "but you didnt warn me first" is not valid, meaning, we dont care, your WARNING is in the rules that you should ALREADY know before coming into our or ANYONES server.

RESPECT our rules and we will RESPECT YOU.

BREAK our rules and we will remove you.

IN GAME TYPE !rules in chat and it will tell you our rules, same thing, WE DONT HAVE TO WARN YOU IN GAME, WHY? CAUSE YOUR WARNING IS IN OUR RULES, THAT IS WHY WE POSTED THEM.

REVIEWING THE LOGS is done by me and i DO add manual bans for gross trolling and gross rule breaking.

WE want to have fun, YOU want to have fun, if fun for you is trolling and rule breaking, you will not be WARNED.

ENJOY and THANK YOU for understanding we do appreciate serious AND new PR players as long as you follow our RULES.

He didn't say you... he was reminding every PR player that plays on HOG/Planning on to.

If he was talking to you I'm fairly sure he would have just addressed you directly, for the most part HOG admins (and Super as far as I can tell) cut to the chase and stay on point. If you've messed up they will let you know.

it is generalized Dr. Death, ive seen no issue with you or your posts.

not forgiven!

Hey guys, I played on HOG for the first time in months tonight. I have to say I was disappointed with the administration. The administrators on were Sgt. Strudel and GNPostal (sp?)

The first round I played was on Burning Sands. I was in MEC CAS squad. At the beginning of the round I was intentionally team killed by the same player 3 times. I reported him many times and received no response. Both admins were AFK until the last 15 minutes of the round. During that time we had a guy team killing assets in main. As a team, we decided to team kill this player to prevent him from destroying more assets. A guy in my squad team killed him and is immediately warned for it, despite the admins doing nothing about the guy killing assets in main. To top it off, we played Sbeneh next, so we were the same faction again.

On Sbeneh, I was in CAS again, the admins were Sgt. Strudel, GNPostal, and Jevski. The HIND was returning to main. On landing, it was HATed by a friendly player named Gentoo (who is banned from PRTA, by the way). Gentoo then proceeds to team kill 3 people. The same player who was warned on Burning Sands team kills Gentoo to stop his rampage and is immediately kicked, despite our constant reports of Gentoo.

The next map was Muttrah City. The admin on was Sgt. Strudel. This is the 3rd round in a row we were playing as MEC. I don't know about you, but I find this unacceptable. I reported that we would be MEC again to the admins twice and received no response. On Muttrah, and a US squad had built a FOB directly outside of MEC main, and had placed a TOW and about 10 mines around the area. We reported this, and no response from the admin again. Finally prWARs, who were on the US team, destroyed the FOB so that it could not attack MEC main.

Overall I had a bad experience. I enjoyed the teamwork, but the trolls and non responsive admins had me unwilling to play anymore. I just wanted to bring this to your guys' attention, because I know you would do the same! I hope this report helps.

I dont know about you, but that thing about a teamkiller never getting a warning and someone who kills him gets the unfair deal its not HOG-exclusive, if it was an automated message it could be just an auto-kick glitch, happened to me

I didn't mean it to sound like it was a HOG exclusive or anything. I'm sure it happens on PRTA NA too and I just don't hear about it. I do not think it was an automated message, and I'm sure the admins were probably busy dealing with other things. I was just frustrated.

Realized something today. Not matter what, you will get complaints about your server. Either the admins ban people who do stupid stuff like blow up assets in main, or sometimes they are understaffed and can't get around to it.

If the admin team is busy, you get complaints about people not being banned or issues not being taken care of.

If the admin team bans those people, they come in and cry that the admins are corrupt. Catch 22.



Anyways, I've played some good rounds the last few weeks. No problems, even with no admins on the map rotation is good and I feel like if someone is being a royal pain in the ***, I can just make a report to Super and he will catch it later. I know right now there are only a couple servers populated, but at least they are both really good ones. Theres a good reason HOG has been around as long as they do and I hope they don't change their gameplan any time soon. Good games.

Good Evening,

In general, I'm very anti-admin with the realization that it is a necessary evil. I've said it many times here and everywhere I post.

With that said, I usually try to be friends with or get to know the admins first before making a summary judgement about their character or abilities.

The admins that I despise the most are admins that have a grudge or a drunk with power. Usually these admins are extremely one dimensional and cause extreme issues.

Example, I don't know what I did to Strudel but lately, he has warned me and kicked me a ton. While at times he has made an effort to appear to be enforcing the rules unilaterally, but mostly it is very anti-Swampfox and crew (CIVIES for example).

I know I can be annoying at times but I usually try to stay within the boundaries as I understand them. I like to talk, I'm a damn southerner and I will visit with anyone about an hour chatting about anything, that is just my culture whereas a damn yankee would rather tell you to get out of his face than to talk to you. Reading the rules again, yes, I read things, I notice that it specifically states all-chat and not anything about team chat. It appears now that this is not the case and team chat is also forbidden when it is BS (Barbara Streisand). Any clarification?

Lastly, if I don't like someone that is an admin, is it ok if I kick them out of my squad? Do I have anything to fear from retaliation?

-SwampFox

If your running a civ sqd, and im bluefor, I will kick you

Swamp, its more a question about escalation. I see it everyday IRL.

Example. Bunch of pedestrians waiting for the light to turn green. One guy gets impatient, and walks anyway. Then another does the same, then 2 others, and then 4.

A chat comes up about something, or someone taunts or tells a joke, thats fine. But then some one else goes ahead with a joke or taunt. Suddenly you have from 1 guy doing "bringing freedom and...." you know the drill to 6 guys discussing something totally irrelevant to the game. Therefor its easier to stop when its only 1 or 2 guys, and stop it hard since it sends a clear signal to the rest.

The last 3 posts are spot on, even you swamp, yes admins are evildoers but what makes them that way are the rule breakers, the chatty cathys, the sneaky team killers, the blantant teamkillers and everything else bad in between.

Strudel LITERALLY has ONE ban to his name, i know this because we celebrated it, he is the least banning admin. Sometimes, like a few posts ago, i have to go in and "cleanup" his and others kicks and replace those with perma bans.

He is doing the best he can with what he is dealt with. Being an admin on a server is easy, real easy. Being an admin on a popular server that is trying to make things run smooth is nearly impossible.

This community has changed so much that it can be a full time job admining the server. Literally you could spend your entire evening just sitting idle in the server having to control everything, answer everyone, set this, run that, watch so and so cause he is edging the rules and so on.

So i say, great job to our admins, they do a great job on an otherwise unwanted position. You know, some of you say the admins are admins because they are on a power trip. Its not, its they want to play on a server that does not tolerate asshatery, they want to play the game as much to the way it was intended without the server trolls, without the griefers, without the all chat making it even harder to read the !r reports. So, from what they know, they have 2 options, find a server with admins that dont let things slide, or be an admin and try and right all the wrongdoers. They chose the latter, for me, that is exactly it as well.

I also dont ever see the ones that complain step and say, "hey, i can help, can i be an admin?".

You dont even have to be an admin to help, dont laugh at griefers remarks, dont help them grief.

Dont, take sides against an admin, tell the pubbers to complain on our forums instead.

Most will let you all chat, as long as its to a bare minimum, why? re-read jevskis post.

Run your squad, watch what they do, control your troops.

Dont you want to make the server fun to play on? STOP SUPPORTING THE TROLLS, call them out, report them, come here and make their trolling public, do not give them an audience.

Dont you want to have fun?

You know, admins are like cops, if everyone followed the rules, we wouldnt need them.

thanks to those public players that support us and keep playing on our server, we do appreciate every last one of you!!!!


Ya'll have a great day!
