I don't know what when on, but once Cainan and f00 left, [LW] I Tag U proceeded to annoy everyone, even Smoke !!
And Tag annoyed IDWLOD to the point, where he snapped, they had a fight, and thenTag made some insinuations about taking it to Doomsday, because he is one of the best players in that game and by saying that....he just wanted to show off.
As for some of things he did............
1) He basically played RAMBO, thus affecting everyone's gameplay and causing countless deaths.
2) Some occasional tagging that was done on purpose (I guess he has to live up to his name)
3) He would make occasional mean remarks aimed at players then say....
"Just kidding" as if that would make people not notice.
4)And Basically just being anoying to the point where it gave me a headache again.
When Tag and IDWLOD started to fight, I came within minutes of booting them both because it was making everyone else uncomfortable and unneasy, but they stopped when I threatened to boot and Tag left during the transition to next level.
Idwlod said he's going to post a private message to Cainan.
Cainan, I now understand how you felt when you had to deal with Scarr and Steven when they fought a couple months ago before the server became passworded.
Babysitting and moderating kids on the server, really sucks the life out of you.
I don't want to be mean to people and I certainly don't want to abuse the power.
And I certainly don't want be know as "Boot Along Mellie"
I guess I need to find a balance somewhere.
I came so close to booting tonight. I feel fortunate that Tag did leave.
Perhaps next time I will do what Gorf suggested and give a warning boot.
Thanks for reading this, I just wanted to give you all a heads up about what could be a potential problem.
A New day. A fresh start, but "I Tag U", same old
Tag needs a serious attitude adjustment. If a stern warning doesn't work then swift kick should, maybe, but I doublt that too. Mel got about as stern with TAG as she could, but numb-nuts just couldn't get the hint(S).
I try not to meddle in other peoples affairs, but I was so annoyed by Tag's actions (see Mel's comments above, no headache, but a pain elsewhere) that if Mel wasn't logged into SCMD I would have BOOTed Tag whether I am allowed to, or not.
Synopsis:* Tag could be a good player once s/he grows up.
* Idwlod should write the word "TEAM" until s/he see that there is no "I' in it.
* Mel should learn to use the Boot when needed.
* DeadMeat should learn to support Mel more.

Re:[LW] I Tag U needs to be watched carefully when he plays
Yes, he (and other players) drove me nuts SO BAD I finally left and never returned. To bad I wasn't on when [LW] was bragging about being hotshot DeathMatch player. He doesn't know I'm an [SFI] clan member. Probably would have turned his ass into puree.
I had to boot Stealth Sniper last night for being a dumb ass. He kept laying bananas for other players to stumble upon. But what irritated me even MORE was that he returned minutes later as SkaterNOLF2 or something like that....and he was repeatedly setting off Mel's traps!!!!
Needless to say, last night was bad. So very bad.
Re:[LW] I Tag U needs to be watched carefully when he plays
I have senbt him a warning via PM.. please let me know if he continues
Re:[LW] I Tag U needs to be watched carefully when he plays
there's something about Tag that I like... probably his over-enthusiasm. but i've warned him to keep it in check before and if you have to boot him, boot him. if he pulls something like >this< again, openly antagonizing specific players... we'll have to do something more drastic and while I don't want to... I will.
as regulars, you all have the scmd password because we believe you will use it when the time is rght. i'm not saying it was wrong of mel not to use it... when in doubt, just let us know and we'll deal with it so you don't have to. but it sounds to me like it would have been justified.
just so i understand... you're only really complaining about Tag, right? it was hard to tell which "he" was which in Mel's post, but it sounds like idwlod just had finally had enough like the rest of you.
Re:[LW] I Tag U needs to be watched carefully when he plays
We all have to tolerate noobs, but there is line that must not be crossed. Glad to hear you sent the warning. I don't really enjoy booting anyone unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. But some players, usually noobs, just drive me to my wits end. My sweaty frustrated finger hovers over the boot button.
Re:[LW] I Tag U needs to be watched carefully when he plays
I suppose it IS possible for skater and stealth to be the same dood. Genuity is some sort of VPN client, and Rhode Island and Mass do border eachother.

Yeah it was mostly Tag...about 85%, at least for me anyway.
Idwold was a tad annoying with his constant questioning but I attribute that to his anger at Tag and the
language/cultural differences. For the most part, he's a nice guy.
