Liru the Lcpl.

I mainly use the Zeus interface to change weather, actually, and have generally done so without asking first... My reason is explained by what I just tried on EU2, with approximately 15 players on (myself not included)...
 
I asked if anyone was interested in something different than clear sunny skies. Over the course of 5 minutes:
2 replied they liked it as it is and didn't want weather to change
1 said he didn't care, as long as it didn't hit his FPS
None of the others seemed to care enough to even bother with answering
 
As a result, weather is still CAVOK right now...

From the rules:
8. Until it’s resolved taking control of AI and killing players is not permitted it will be classed as teamkilling.
 
I don't know if this rule was broken in this case, but consider it a reminder so it's not forgotten.
 
The Zeus's job is NOT to punish players for making subjective mistakes, if it were then I assure you the playerbase would be long gone.
 
I thought it would be common sense, but I don't see how it's a good idea to change the weather without asking the players first.
 
I think the fundamental issue is still that zeuses are forgetting their primary purpose, to IMPROVE the players experience, not their own.

In all fairness to TheScar, Zeus can either make the mission great OR ruin it for everyone and there is often a fine line between the two. 
 
Additionally its also down to an individuals preference and play style and you can never please everybody. Although I have not seen the Zeusing (<-- Is that a thing?) on Eu#1/2 I have however experienced disruptive Zeus's before and it is really frustrating. If it has lead to such a long winded post is it not worth looking into? I'm sure its not only TheScar who hasn't enjoyed the Zeus events on such a populated server, and therefore it doesn't seem civil to just shout down his opinion as he is giving feedback. Although some point could possibly be more 'constructive' rather than '"I don't like...", much easier to criticise than find the solution.
 
 

So of course...1 week later...it happened again...
 
And of course...I lost my s***...

But seriously, PSA: MAKE SURE YOU DONT FORGET ABOUT THE MISSILE...then again FORGET ABOUT IT SO I CAN LAUGH AT YOU!!!

Also Liru, your laugh. It is contagious!

ftp://mods.ahoyworld.net/Public/.a3s/autoconfig This should be it

I´m sad to hear, that i´m no longer allowed to play on your guys server. It has been an honor to play with you guys.

Im sorry that "My" squad (A squad that i have joined a week ago and left today, because of the incident) have brought this bad situation at hand.

If i may ask a last thing - just to appeal my case - If you could check of all the times i have been on you server. That i have never advertised once, becuase of the rules "Of no advertiseing"

If there is no room for the squad, what about room for just me? (With my normal tag "SignMaker")

Best Regards
Thomas

Shoutout to V for firing the derpiest missile I've ever seen and his medic Payer 1 for reviving V after the magic missile strikes again!

I have been playing for around 7 to 8 hours on eu2 today. It started with me alone, waiting for 45 minutes for others to join (so i did some solid "homework").
For what ive seen today:
- No teamkillers
- No fog whatsoever
- No arguing
- No griefing
- No noobs
- No annoying zeusses
- Not a single admin-needed-situation (!)
- Good teamplay
- Average of 15 to 20 people online
- About 4 to 5 ao's done
- About 5 priority missions done
- 2 Side missions completed
- Enough pilots (4) when i left the server (just now)
-(Edit) and awesome FPS...
All in all a very good day for me on eu2, keep it up!!!

Do you realise that mentioning a different community twice on our forums after you've just been banned for a similar offense wont really improve the situation?

This is just me taking a wild guess but I believe admins have real lives too.  So it can happen that there is no admin online.  And if there is one online on TS he might be AFK for a minute or 2 to go, for example, to the toilet.  Should we forbid them to do this?  Chain them to the their computer perhaps?
 
I'll have to admit that it frustrates me too when someone is TKing and there is no admin but as I said admins have a real life, so I just record and file a player report on the forums.
 
By the way I don't think EU1 has a TK problem.  And if you wanted to become an admin there is a hiring subsection on this forum, with all the conditions you have to meat to become an admin.

In mother Russia you do not fire rocket, rocket fires you

So of course...1 week later...it happened again...

Oh lordy, The rockets strike back! 

Thanks for the feedback so far.
 
 
 
 
So as I suspected, transport and accessibility are the main problems then? Though I have no say in the matter, I like the idea of paradropping in (more realistic than teleporting poles, which I thought about too as a temporary solution) but wouldn't that require that everyone takes a chute instead of a backpack? If there aren't any pilots to bring in supplies or take you back to base, you'll run out of bullets pretty quickly and you'll have to respawn just to get rearmed. Doesn't seem very fun either...
 
 
 
In the past week, I've made 4 bases and some adjustments to make Tanoa as a whole more lively, which I then suggested to / discussed with @BACONMOP. Initial response was positive imo, so I'm now waiting for news on if / how / when he'll use them in a public release. I can say already that St. George Airport is a no-go, though, because FOB Fin is already there.

I've seen this twice now in the past 5 days...seriously guys, be careful about firing manually guided rockets!!!
 

I love the pubs on EU 1, shout out to them and IOnceWasATeddy for Zeusing with me today...

That is all... hope you had a good laugh...

Stuff like this really grinds my gears. I could tab-out to watch a video for 5 minutes and then come back to see 3 people flaming me because i apparently killed them with some sort of explosives or spawned enemies behind them that they didnt see in the first place. Just because Zeus is on the server doesn't mean we are responsible for EVERYTHING that kills you.
