Why would you say this? I never said you banned me. I said I was mysteriously banned immediately after I called you a terrible team player. Remember that? You seemed to be quite angry and I remember you saying to me, "I'm not someone you want to mess with". But hey, I have no proof you banned me, so I would never stoop to accusations.

I was banned the next morning and not the night before while I was playing, so I can only assume it was because of this thread seeing as Bluedrake said he would.

So FYI for those who want to help us out and keep the server a little more stable... instead of us having to scramble, if you see the enemy team having issues... see it as a challenge and try to switch sides (usually there's spots free on the losing team =P)
Good luck with that. But the main issue I run into is team stacking which admins switch clan guys consistently. Out of the multiple times I have played in FCV, 70% of the matches I've been in were unbalanced. Way unbalanced. Or the team is very clueless and only plays pr for kills.
Yes, believe it or not I'm one of the select few who do switch to the other team if they are crapping the bed. But after playing a lot of rounds of **** team after **** team it gets certainly boring.
I know, scrambling teams can cause server flunk but, maybe just have your admins be a BIT less on instantly stacking teams?
I respect you and your server, but man just the unbalanced rounds get pathetic.

I didn't want to partake in this "bash" FCV event but that video made is asking for it:
6s - Helicopter keeps its approach even when a MTLB is in range and getting closer
10s - Its clear that there are 2 choppers in the flag, yet instead of holding and dismounting in behind safe cover, the chosen tactic is to rush the choppers and stop in the middle of 2 squads
10s to 15s - The MTLB is right in front of 2 US players yet neither runs to cover, they just act has its friendly (Although a 3rd actually manages to score a LAT hit)
19s - MTLB is yet to shoot the chopper but the pilot already bailed off
20s - Mec soldier as plenty of cover yet he decides to run in the open hoping to reach the chopper
37s - The US soldier clearly knows you're behind that cover and it doesn't look like he was taking fire yet he decides to keep charging you
39s - For some reason someone decides to try and save the chopper, even thou it takes around 40s just to take off...
41s - Chopper as cas...

Good Morning,
GASP, are you suggesting Hollywood staging or glitzy public relations marketing campaign?
Ok, sorry could help but have some humor. In my opinion, highlights are when an actual street fight is going down. Muttrah is ok for this but I think the best are the cities like Bijar and the other one on Shija Valley.
But then again, my highlight for last night on FCV was building a CIVI fob on top of the tall water tower in Karbala! One player ended the round with over -1000+ points. Spoke with an admin in my squad about it and stated that maybe that player should be warned for disruptive gameplay? I mean, we warn about wasting assets, this guy was wasting Intel Points on purpose. Intel Points are an asset.

HOG has nothing to do with the discussion about FCV.
What Turista said is unfortunately a pretty accurate deception of FCV as many unfortunately treat the server as a training server.

This is starting to just become desperate and baseless Turista. 90% of these rebuttals are elitist and pointless, and just go to show why our server actively avoids catering to you.

Elitist? BlueDrake, cmon, your whole assault would've ended with one AT-4 on any other server and we all know it.

Maybe if you keep repeating yourself you will buy into your **** BD. Most of your posts are the same thing repeated, how about to step out of your box and evolve your train of thought a little bit? How can so many people from different parts of the community be saying nearly the same thing yet you completely fail to grasp the point.
Your reply to me was great at outlining your maturity level. Please keep me out of your homosexual fantasies, I have nothing against your sexual orientation just don't involve me thanks (besides I'm way to classy for a dipstick like you). It came down to you clearly outlining how horribly managed your community is and you went on to further insult the PR community as a whole. Smooth move, you sure know how to make friends and put forth a structured argument.
Your concept of "elitist" is, in fact, the norm in just about any solid community, but I guess from your point of view anyone who plays with a minimal level of respect towards others in the community must be doing it wrong. I'd love to see you take this kind of stance in more competitive games (CSGO crowd would rip into you), but I think the issue is that you cannot admit you're wrong in front of your DRK children, so instead you jump onto the forums and prove your inability to see beyond the tip of your nose.
This is what happens when ego over rules logic, but please continue to victimize yourself in an aggressive fashion. I also think blaming everyone else for having a "elitist" view is a nice way to just cover all bases, but you saying the PR community is elitist doesn't make it true...I think everyone realizes this, other than you of course.
I think you need to learn some respect there little fella, if this was a sports team IRL I know you wouldn't have the fortitude to act like this. When a community is lead by a child what are we to expect?

Okay, we're not solving this problem my just deleting posts and infracting people, opening the thread, and having to deal with this all over again.
We're going to investigate the core claims against Bluedrake here, and if we find his server to not breach any license agreements, we'll be much more strict with negative feedback (remember the forum rules here in this subforum people!). If we find anything amiss, we'll be working with Bluedrake on finding a solution for it. This will take some time. I'm leaving the thread locked for the time being because I have no other option at this point. Thanks to both sides of the debate for understanding.
Bluedrake, feel free to contact me about this, but please accept that I have to do this because I have no clue at all as to what currently goes on on servers and I can't take anyones word for it.
UPDATE: Anyone who criticises the server and claims it is breaching license agreement or otherwise harming PR, please PM me with a statement and evidence if you have any. I'll take it all seriously, but at the same time I'll take Bluedrakes own account seriously and get a few neutral opinions too to get a better impression. If there is no serious claims or no evidence to support them, I will reopen the thread and prohibit the continued discussion of these accusations. So if you've got something to add, PM me.
DDOS Attacks

Free Candy Van has been under a rather extreme campaign of DDOS attacks this weekend, so we're working on staying up but you may have trouble connecting or playing until we mitigate the attacks. Sorry for the inconvenience =/ right now we have no ETA on when the attacks will be over or mitigated.
