Post subject:  BANNED thank you.

I get banned for saying let me quote here "Yay! Pistol vs. Noob shotgun Pistol wins" when beating someone with a pistol who had benelli shotgun- okay. I guess you needed a reason to ban me.

After all the crap that has been said to and about me- I get banned for this. When accused of cheating I wrote help sections to explain how I do it. When questioned I answered. when investigated I fully cooperated. Some of the things said about me bordered truly outrageous and at times truly disgusting- Yet, these players aren't banned. a Player can compare to me to a pedophile and I get banned for saying- "Yay! Pistol vs. Noob shotgun Pistol wins"

ya know, I like playing here, I even put up with the endless crap I get no matter how hard I try to explain things. Some of the players here are good fun to play with and that's what keeps me here. I play fair and I play for fun, but stuff like this is too much-

You were kicked for 1 game (not banned) for calling a player a noob. 1st of all - Players are hesitant to play when you are on the server and it may seem that this is petty to you but you cannot call players names in the game. It is a huge accomplishment to kill you. Players should not get name called for doing it any way they can. Is it so hard to just die and let the players feel good about killing the great Emerson? Its tough enough to kill you and then you call them a noob? Yes - maybe many players use this word in the game, but coming from you its a real slap in the face. You have mastered ballistic weapons - no doubt - but "the master" will not put players down for being killed...that is too arrogant and causes more problems for Emerson ............

I'm pretty sure I called the gun "noob shotgun" not the player, but that's semantics-

First I'm good, I'm not a master. nor do I consider myself that- I may know more about balliistic weapons that others and I freely share that information and encourage other players to learn it. I undertsand that it may be difficult to kill me and that players should celebrate when they do- but killing someone who has the benelli shotgun with a pistol is really difficult for anyone. I just hate that gun so I was happy when I won.

this whole "more problems for Emerson" thing is getting old. I feel that I've done more than all that has been asked of me. ABadass- I know that you've gone to the bat for me many times and I appreciate it, but if I've become too much of problem player on the basis of attitude or cheap gameplay- then yes- I would agree with- "more problems with Emerson" But I don't think I'm that player. Whenever a player has asked me for help or to stop killing them I do and just pick off bots. Most of the time I don't even kill the less experienced players so I don't drive them off. I kind of feel like I'd like to see the end of this- I've written three help columns on how to do what I do and I've complied to everything that's asked of me.

At the base of this I think there are players who were used to being on top with no real challenge before I came to this server and after I did weren't so happy about it because it wasn't so easy anymore.

I'm like every other player- you once mentioned that these players have egos and that I should respect that. well, Me too.

I'm not sure if it was you Badass, but I think that if you'd just said- "don't do that" I would have stopped or had said in your ban message that it was for one match I'd have reacted better- I'm not one of those players who argues with or taunts the Admins. so thanks for unbanning me-

I am sorry that this is getting old for you and I understand what you have to put up with. I realize that we all have egos - I am not asking that you just let everyone kill you all the time either. I'll be honest - I view many games and see all players killing and dying and - it does bother me when I see you with 80++ kills and no deaths. Then I watch as players leave the server or spectate until you leave. Many of them leave saying "This isn't fun anymore!". Letting a player kill you is something I can't ask of you - you can; however, not try so frickin hard to not die.........lol. Maybe you need a 6 beer handicap before playing......lol.

"Whats getting old" for me is the emails and pm's that I receive regarding playing on the server with you. I have spent a hell of alot of time dealing with disgruntled players - You and I have discussed many of these things already......Some of the newer items have been........**Why/how does Henry kill his own teammates in game play? **He jumps around and says he switched to knives to move faster yet he really isn't switching to knives **How come he can find me when I'm in a real good hiding place within a few seconds after I kill him? - and the list goes on. I have answered these emails as best as I can. Sometimes I can only say that what he is doing is not possible as far as I know - sometimes I say that I have to spectate him myself, to see whats going on (instead of playing on my server) and other times I just don't have an answer - that's frustrating. Then I have to do research to find out if there are downloadable tweaks or just tweaks to the game that allow some of the things they are saying is happening in game when admin is not there. This takes a huge amount of time on my part - and I hope that you can understand that "this is getting old" for me. Admin and clan members have had long conversation regarding some of these issues on ABadAss Server and we spend a lot of time scratching our heads and saying - "Sorry guys - I don't know!" Believe it or not, the complaints have been directed only towards you. We have great players here and its fun to kill them from time to time - it gives some players hope..and keeps it fun.....Getting a spanking wasn't fun when we were kids and it still doesn't feel so good. Playing on the server is a way to relax from all the day to day bullshit we have to deal with and escape from it all and have fun.

Being on top of the game will lead to more headaches for you - hope you can deal with that. Being admin will lead to more headaches for me - I hope that I can deal with it as well. Don't you just love Ballistic UT2004? I do .......so far.....I just keep plugging away...........LOL


BTW - It wasn't me who kicked you...............

I want to throw my two cents in here since I have been playing some form of Unreal for 10 years now with 5 years of server play. I have played against about every kind of player imaginable and have spent thousands of hours playing, probably more then Henry has. If you look at Henry's ELO ranking which is posted on the Unreal Tournement 2004 site, it is nearly 300 for all time. The best players out there are usually around 200-225 (they fluctute and mine is now around 180) and they are REALLY good. Anyone over this amount is generally using some kind of a bot mode to make them nearly impossible to defeat. First off, I don't want to accuse anyone of cheating if everything checks out. But a score that high is very questionable as to how anyone can be that good without some kind of a bot mode being used. Maybe he has the best/ fastest computer and hookup available? But even with this you have to look at everyones ping and his is usually about average so that is no advantage. I enjoy playing along with Henry and have no problems as long as he is 100% clean from cheating (I'm not accusing just hoping this is true).

You know Torment, I've been playing since the first DOOM so your ten years plus - I just aged myself terribly there and Florida thought he was old- I have fun playing against you too. but it's not the point- It seems nothing I do can change anyone from thinking that I cheat.

Abadass- I do appreciate your position as both an Admin and someone who's had to deal with me and everyone complaining about me- I've even tried dying more- it's not my favorite thing to do- I'd rather try limiting myself to melee or shotguns. So- thanks for putting up with all of this.

I don't cheat. I don't use bots mods or hacks. I have a pretty good computer- far from the best.

I'm a tactical player who is probably better than you, but unless you get in my face I'll leave you alone if you ask me to.

SO please. I encourage you to spec me- Hell if you're in NYC come on over and you can watch over my freakin' shoulder- you can play on my machine- it won't make you a better player.

I don't want to cause these problems. I play UT for fun and to be good at it. so it may be best that I just not play on this server anymore.

If you want I will voluntarily stop playing at ABADASS. I'll leave that up to you guys.

I've been playing Unreal since its inception (1999). I've been playing video games since the 1970's as I am in my mid 40's. I didn't call you a cheat. I said it's hard to believe that anyone can be that good and not cheat. I did not accuse you just find it hard to believe as I have seen every kind of player come and go. You do see the difference right?

I didn't mean to imply that you think that I do cheat, it was more of my general frustration at not being able to clear my name by either explaining how I do it or openly encouraging players to spec/observe my play - as I said I enjoy playing with you too. I too have been around the block with UT and have seen my fair share of both incredible players and cheaters. A cheater always kills the game, but I have to keep in mind a good player can do that too.

On another note- we're both old farts.

Yesterday I played alot.

I saw two types of players that reacted to me playing. Now, not all player react to me being on or even care- but some do. The first type was your "Killer Klown" type of player- he's a good player, he knows the weapons etc. He sees me on and just hounds me and pursues me until he kills my ass. I might have killed him more- but he killed me repeatedly and since I like to keep my health up he kept me on the run. Abadass did the same thing on the spiffingrad map to me- it might not be easy to kill me, but if you don't let me stack health I die just as quickly as anyone else. Niether of these players complained about me, they just went out and killed me.

The other player was the "Chop" type player on the Hamsterdance map. When I first encountered him I had just waded and disabled through numerous mines and explosives. I found him camping near a bot path with the minigun. I backed out and hucked a grenade in there- reaction from him was to ask me why "after being gone for awhile did I ever come back to this server?" -that kind of annoyed me so I asked why doesn't he just play against bots? since to me, he really just wanted mindless players to walk into his trap. Chop's complaining set off other players- it always does on any server- one player complains about another sets off a landslide of complaints. Props to Falsepositives who just went on killing me. Chop told me what he thought of me and I told him my opinion of him- it was stupid so I offered Chop that if he left me alone I'd leave him alone and he left the server.

I guess the point of this is that I can be killed, but you've got to try. I'm totally blanking the name of a player yesterday- but he's not the best player, but every match he'd chase me until he finally killed me. He didn't whine or complain about how hard it was, he just kept trying until he got me- Props to that.
