Server admin FAIL

[LyfTaker]

Not a rant thread. I was on a server tonight playing cuda, and the US was full of newbies and having a rotten time, but they were doing the best that they could, AND WAS STILL HAVING FUN! The mec was team stacked to the gills, with the server admins and some of the more prevelent clans. No wonder the US was having great difficulty. So the admin gets tired of a boring game and runs the next map before the game was truly over (something like 250-93 when changed). The vets on the US were trying to help the newer players, and were just starting to get the magor points across. It was unfortunate, there was no choice but to change servers.

You ever run across this too?

not for here, if you have an issue with a server take it up on their forums.

saying its not a rant thread doesn't give you dispensation.

[Gore]

Play somewhere else.

[gaurd502]

Yes it has happened before.

[Robbi]

Cuda is China

And yes, sometimes changing the map is often needed.

Ive always been of the opinion that maybe Auto Team scramble should be enabled on some servers every few rounds.

I hope you noticed that he didn't mention the server or any other players by name. This type of general conversation belongs here, not in the server subforums.

Speaking of admin fail, hey Robbi.

There's several reasons that the admin of that server might have for a map change. Granted, it could have been 'cause they were bored of waiting for the US to get organised (I've spent an entire round of Cuda waiting for the US to get off the carrier) but unless you know the whole picture this rant was fairly pointless.

You'll figure out which servers are good to play on eventually.

I like the idea, but probably those who got scrambled would just manually team stac... err... switch back to their original team anyway.

[Robbi]

Yeah some might, but most wont IMO.

It can be frustrating when that happens, but sometimes on barra it can become very boring if one of the teams isnt organised. If a map gets boring, then the server empties, so maybe the admin was trying to avoid that? I've occasionally ended a map early, but only after asking the players if they agree.

What I want is an admin command to scramble the teams on "now" or on "next map". So it could be used if the sides are unequal.

[Robbi]

i'm sure you probably can through and RCON command, as its a modmanager AB tool

[ghettostankk]

Yeah, I see that from time to time. Maybe a couple times a week. Yes, I hate it, but since I am not paying for the server I can't say much.

Some admins fail, yes, and team stacking happens. If you don't like it play on a different server with better admins. The PR forums is not the place to discuss it. If you have a problem with a particular clan or server contact them directly.

[Thermis]

I don't see a problem with team stacking anyway.
