Good afternoon all! This won't be too long but this has been coming for a little while now. I want to bring attention to an issue that has been getting to me lately on the TDM server. Accusations of team stacking and moving people around. I want to put this out there and tell you that any accusations are false. Why? Auto-assign. That's it. I do not have any control over the teams in game. The server automatically sorts players into teams when they join. They do not get a choice of what team they get to choose. The reason auto-assign was enabled in the first place was to STOP team stacking. We're all guilty of it because we all want to be with our friends on certain maps. I can understand that but on the other side, it made the teams very stacked. We had all the good players on one team, all the crap ones on another, etc. By enabling auto assign, we remove the team stacking. The reason people accuse me of team stacking is purely because of a lack of understanding on their part. When you join the server, you're given a number. For example, player A, B, C, D and E are numbered 0-4 respectively and the server uses these numbers to assign you a team as soon as the map starts. This gets shuffled around every map. The reason it may be 4v1 at the start of a map is because of the way the server has assigned numbers to teams. You just need to get out of spec and you'll be put where the server wants you. If we get three admins on one team, well we do. That's just how the server assigned us. It doesn't care about your name or your status. You're a number to the server. Which leads me on to my next point. Moving players around. I ONLY MOVE THE LAST PLAYER THAT JOINED TO EVEN OUT THE TEAMS If the teams are drastically outbalanced and auto-balance doesn't work then I will step in. Say someone joined the Axis team bringing them to 5 players, and the Allies were at 3. If auto-balance didn't work then I will MOVE that person to the Allied team to make them 4v4. If you were the last person in then I am sorry, that's just bad luck on your part. I find the accusations hurtful and disrespectful and I've had to write this to address those issues. I will not take that disrespect towards me, especially false accusations. I've worked my ass off for years, even before becoming an Admin, to keep this server the best it has been. This server is my baby and quite frankly I'm getting frustrated with all the shit getting flung because something doesn't work right. There are some things on the server that are out of my control and please understand what I am saying from an admins point of view. To keep the servers fair and fun for all players. I don't want to be putting my foot down, but I will if I need to.

I'm just waiting for natural selection to take them out. Ever heard of the Darwin Award? There are a few people I know of that should recieve one.

So sad to hear about this! Utterly devastating You and your family look after yourself in this difficult time, okay? We'll still be here when you're back; no rush at all.

If you can spare the money, buy a replacement mobo. Best to get the same model you already have, so your PC won't freak out over hardware errors. If your board is semi warped, I'd say you're pretty screwed

I thought you were always a bitch. Well at least they found you a home! Gratz on the early retirement

Really sorry to hear this. It's never easy knowing that one day you'll lose a loved one but no matter how it goes, you'll get through it mate. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts. We're always around to shoot when you come back - take all the time away you need, alright?

I know Pman, and I appreciate the input. I won't be putting a lot in, and still keeping the 1:1 rotation we already have, I will just replace a TDM or two with a CTF - that's all. I'll see what I can put together and get some admin input.

Top of the team, right where I belong Thanks to everyone for coming along and making it a great weekend as it always is! I hope to change up the TDM server a bit now following some ingame feedback with the CTF maps - I will see how I can add those to what I'm cooking up for the January rotation!

Good luck!

Does this mean I have to do some work this weekend?

I wouldn't trust me in a position of responsibility but here I am with admin tags

Can't we just get along Everyone has their own opinions, they do their own research to make their own agenda. It might be different than yours. So what if it is; we're all allowed to have differing opinions on important matters such as the pandemic, the vaccine, all of these things. It's not worth it arguing about things where countless lives have been lost and this crap is still among us. Just accept someone thinks differently than you and go about your day. There is no right or wrong way of thinking - just make sure you're looking out for your fellow idiots, keeping yourself and the ones you care about safe and sound. No need to go nuts on someone because they think and see the world differently. I think a bunch of you are complete whack jobs and have a dangerous way of thinking, but that's me. This world will be a much better place if people just respected someone elses opinion and went about their day.

I've already got both of my vaccine doses and I'm getting the booster when it's available for me i'm still alive and kicking and no adverse effects so I don't understand what you're trying to get at

Because tin foil hat wearers will find absolutely anything they can to try and push their agenda even if the image has nothing to do with the topic. I have payments that do that every now and then, the charge doesn't go through twice though.

Yea that's too late for me, I am working Friday and Saturday morning, which is a shame because I love CTF, it's a lot of fun. I can still help get set up though but I can't take part

Good evening all! Some who do not have the game and want to pick it up cheap are in luck! CD Keys is having a sale and currently CoD2 is in said sale! Pick it up if you want to see the roots of the clan and have a nice nostalgia hit or hang out with us, by all means grab it whilst you can!! Here is the link provided to my by Loader who told me of the sale and asked me to make a post. https://www.cdkeys.com/call-of-duty-2-steam I use CD Keys myself and have gotten a good fair amount of deals on games, older and more recent so worth keeping an eye out! ~PainKiller

Because a lot of people don't like it when someone is better than them. I think that was a hell of a shot he missed his target by an inch and got some poor unsuspecting bugger on the other side. Wrong place, wrong time. No hacking at all His initial target was STAS, whom he missed. That's all there was to it. Some people really have a twisted view on what hacking is

He answered your damn question in his email back! "We are not open on weekends" Jesus yea, the pandemic made you a fucking idiot that's for sure.

Evening all, Just wanted to let you know, as you have likely already seen, the map rotation has been updated and will be this way for the rest of the year. The rotation is as follows: gametype tdm map mp_matmata map mp_casa map mp_winterv2 map sps_london_bridge map mp_overgrown map sps_valle_de_leire map mp_omaha_beach map mp_snipe_f_v2 map mp_hafenlager_v2 map mp_shalkanv2 map mp_factory map ifis_one map mp_el_mechili map ifis_egypt map mp_devils_den_beta3 map sps_toxic map mp_daba map mhz_farm_f map mp_alcazaba map esr_nc_v2 map mp_anzio map sps_karelia map mp_brecourt map mp_snipe_harbor map mp_bernay map mp_had_onebridgetofar_v2 map mp_bessie2 It is a 1:1 ratio of R&G and Sniper, as it was the last couple of times and that really works well on the server. I did also want to take this chance to apologize for the hiccups that were in the server towards the end of the day; there were some unforseen circumstances which meant two maps being skipped automatically by the server and also one forcing it to DM. I had to restart the server to fix that and the rotation has been amended in relation to that. What you see above is what the rotation will now be. If there are any other issues, I will sort them ASAP and keep you all updated. Once more, sorry for the mishaps and I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend. ~PainKiller

The fact that "horroried" isn't even a word further validates the fact that you use a conspiracy theory spewing website full of shite

Get well soon my friend, you've done it before and you can do it again. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

A bit of both, visually and under the hood. It feels a little to Apple OS visually and I have heard a lot of rumours about Windows 11 that don't sit right with me. Such as the eventual phasing out of the control panel and something about them having ads in their own operating system. Of course, these are just rumours and I will readily admit that I have not actually done the research so I am basing my opinion on what I have seen posted on social media websites. What would be wrong with Windows 10? The only thing I don't like about it is the start menu and the settings app, much prefer the control panel and something akin to windows XP or 7 for the start menu; but I know it is down to personal preference. I won't be upgrading right away, I don't think. I want to see how it rolls out and what they do with it and then make my choice.

Windows 11 looks like crap to be honest. Why are they even making it? There is nothing wrong with Windows 10

At least this was put in the correct section: "jokes"

That whole post screams spam
