I'm not a native English speaker and because of all the misunderstandings in this thread, I see that I can't express myself simply and understandably. I'll try again and quote my first (unedited) post. The first line after hello says that "I wrote most of it for myself, to get it out of the system". That was about all the axis-allies talk. For myself. To help me understand why I look like a stacker. Then there was the bottom line, after the bold sentence. It was the point of the post. The personal shit above was not important. I could have posted only the last 3 sentences and everyone would have understood. Explaining - I don't care about playing in the stronger team, I like allies, hence my behaviour in the past. Justifying, saying I'll stop - Whenever you might have seen me change my name, I wasn't doing it to stack. I get no enjoyment out of the game with a fake name, just waiting for the map to end. But OK, I'll stop doing that. Apologising, trying to create a solution - Feel free to ask me to switch any time and I will switch. But I'd prefer you do it at the start of the map. That's it. I felt guilty and came here to explain/justify/apologise. This thread needed no responses at all. Only response I hoped was "Yeah Nekron, you did look like a stacker. We'll start asking you to move from now on and see how you'll behave in the future." This thread has clearly exhausted itself. It's way off the point and people are attacking each other.

Ok, I didn't come to complain. I know rules are for everyone. I'll start playing more axis from now. I didn't have a problem with you moving me but now I have one with you not moving me. Of course it has been comfortable not being moved all the time, but if it means I'm looked at as a stacker, I'd rather you message me to move or move me whenever you want. So please, feel free to do it! I'd rather switch teams myself, having time to prepare for it, than be shuffled on the last second of warmup. Also, if moving me can prevent a shuffle for everyone, it's all for the better!

First, I don't ever whine/complain/badmouth anyone, I'm a very quiet player. Every time I'm !putteamed (can count those times on one hand), I stay and play. When I'm shuffled and don't feel like playing, I go to spec and join again next map - it's not super altruistic teamplayery behaviour but it's not against any rules. I don't have a problem and don't want to create a problem. I just want you to know that although I don't generally move in the middle of the map when teams are stacked, you can always ask me to move or just move me without any resulting whining. Not going to comment on your last sentence. I came here because yesterday I was suddenly genuinely surprised (believe it) to get the feeling that I have a bad reputation. I thought about it, found some reasons and came to explain, say I'll be better and maybe find about others that I didn't know about. But now I understand you just don't care and I've failed.

Ok, first of all I'm not here to complain or blame anyone. The first part was just personal to explain my actions and the summary was that I'll try to be a nice guy, you can always ask me to switch, I will. First ahh .. you said you like to play as allies.. Just a little flashback , I shuffled the teams 3-4 days back on jay1 on map oasis , you were shuffled into axis and you made this statement = " This gonna be a long 30 mins. map " . Reason : after my shuffle axis got stronger and on oasis its mostly game remains in hands of axis , so should you be blame for enjoying playing in axis team coz axis team was strong and map was in favor of axis ? you played that whole map as axis and got good kills too About that, I said "It's gonna be a long 30 mins" in the sense that "Noone is going to enjoy this bottleneck clusterf-k" and I stick by my opinion because Oasis with 50 players is just that - a bottleneck clusterfark. I played that map as axis because I wanted rating and you put me in axis. I've never changed teams after shuffle to rate on the other side. 1)Don't change teams after I shuffle : I don't have disease of shuffling or admin whoring , before I shuffle I think twice and looks at teams , then only I go for shuffle. and I really don't like players changing teams back or join spec to wait and find slot in their fav. teams. Often when I have time to play only one map, I go to spec after a shuffle and work or do other stuff until the next map starts. I don't think that's against any rules. I admit, there have been some times when I've had nothing better to do and I've fooled around in the wrong team. I'm sorry and I'll stop doing that. But there are also times when I go to spec, do other stuff for 15 minutes, come back and join the team that has less players. It looks like I'm waiting in spec but actually I've already left the computer. 2)It's a utter non-sense to say I only play as axis or I only play as allies , you are in game to aim and shoot , you can do it from both teams and as question of fav. weapon thomson.. you can always get it from killing an allies player and vise versa. It's entirely personal and preferential. I'm in the kitchen, I can eat different foods but I prefer oranges to apples. But as I said, now I always join the weaker team and you can always switch me. 1. These are not rating server these are fun servers. Rating=fun to many people. There is no difference between rating and fun servers. Raters only rate on fun servers, they can't do it in ETPro. Yet most people including yourself dont respect it. That's the reason I posted in the first place, to improve your opinion of me. I switch teams 3-4 times a map to make teams fair for everyone. If I had to do that, I couldn't rate and wouldn't play ET. Just trying to help you understand the mindset of a rater. And 99 percent of people that rate would have a rate of 16 if they didn't change their name on most of the maps. I agree, if I played 10-20 maps a day, I would probably have low rating too. But that's the difference... for me there isn't "most of the maps". Instead of changing my name when I don't feel like rating anymore, I just leave. The times I play a whole map with a fun name are very rare. Please don't take my responses the wrong way. I'm not a fan of arguing on the Internet... or arguing at all. Bottom line - point of my posts - Apologising for the times I've seemed disrespectful of the rules and explaining the reason behind it - what goes on in my mind as a rater. Tell me any time you think teams are bad and I'll do my best. PS. yo-yo, stressing again that please don't take it as an attack. You did nothing wrong, I don't doubt your admin skills. I'm apologising for what I did.

Hi. Read some of the recent threads here and decided to post this. Warning, wall of personal rant incoming. Wrote most of it just for myself to get it out of the system but as a Pro* admin, I'm also trying to save, even if just a little, the seemingly dying reputation of Pro* in FA. Yesterday in FA1, I joined allies at the start of Gold Rush but was shuffled to axis. After a few minutes, I changed my name to "nab" and rejoined allies. =F|A=Tipsy then called me a stacker and put me to spec. He did nothing wrong so I'm not here to complain but to explain. About the current situation - I really despise axis. No, my grandparents did not die in Auschwitz. But of my 7 years of ET life, I've played 95% of the maps in allies. I know the layouts, I'm used to shooting the black shirts, I aim better with Thompson etc and for all those reasons, my scores and overall playing experience are much worse in axis. I am also a supporter of fair gaming and would not set my experience over others' so I don't use fake names and waiting and spec-jumping and whatever other tricks to get myself to the better team. Frankly, could not give less shit about which team is stronger – more opponents=more kills for me. But when I'm forced into axis, I'd rather stay in spec. Sometimes though, the server is full or I just get very bored, so I rename myself and go fool around while waiting for the map to end. By definition it's stacking but by essence, me fooling around getting maybe 10-20 kills per map is not going to make any axis player feel worse or suppressed or "unfair". If anything, they feel better because I'm an easy kill. A lot of you will probably think along the lines of "stfu with your scores, rater noob, get a life and play for fun" but for me, rating is fun and as I'm not much of a chatter, it's about the only reason I play this 7 year old extremely repetitive game. Whenever I'm not rating, I'm not enjoying the game. When the teams are shuffled, I lose 30 minutes, when I'm !putteamed, I lose 30 minutes. When the map is reset, I lose 30 minutes. Now, often I find time between work, other activities, work, school and work to play only one map every few days and I hope you can imagine how I feel when I finally find that one hour, get ready to play, crunch my wrists and neck, then wait 20 mins for the previous map to end and finally join allies only to be shuffled into axis on the last second of warmup. And then being called a stacker in front of everyone is the final slap in the face. Statistically axis should be weaker only 50% of the time. So if I'm always allies, 50% of the time, I should be in the weaker team. But for some reason, that's not the case. Switching teams in the middle of a map ruins the map for me. That's why I've started joining the worse team at the start of every map to avoid getting switched, even if it means playing axis. But I've noticed since yesterday (and also many times in the past), that often the team I join ends up, some minutes into the map, with more people and again, I'm being looked at as a egoistic stacker. Also, often shuffles don't improve the teams but make them very imbalanced. And since shuffles are often done at the last second of warmup (don't know why - to prevent team switching?), there is no time left to do a second shuffle to balance. The bottom line: I don't care about playing in the stronger team, I like allies, hence my behaviour in the past. Whenever you might have seen me change my name, I wasn't doing it to stack. I get no enjoyment out of the game with a fake name, just waiting for the map to end. But OK, I'll stop doing that. Feel free to ask me to switch any time and I will switch. But I'd prefer you do it at the start of the map.
