monkie reacted to EastCoast50 in Just got the news about the COD5 head admin team
As one of the new COD5 admins, here is my perspective ...
I started playing on XI about three years ago by chance ... just came across one of the servers and started playing. I had so much fun I constantly played on it and stopped looking for other servers. In my opinion, it was --- and still is -- the best COD5 server out there. About a year later, Beers asked if I was interested in joining the XI community. I've never been a member of an online gaming community and absolutely enjoyed playing here, so I said yes. Recently, I was asked if I was interested in becoming a COD5 admin. Frankly, I was kind of shocked. I've never been an admin, but everything -- the process, responsibilities, etc. were explained in detail. I can tell you one thing ... it's NOT an overnight process. I don't know how admins are considered, but it took two or three weeks to go through the process to become one AFTER you're asked. There's A LOT to learn about being an admin (manuals/rules, software downloads, etc.) that isn't exactly easy for an amateur like me.
Being an admin has in NO way changed my attitude in the game. The ONLY thing I'm doing now is looking for cheaters/hacks and players that violate the posted server rules. By the way, admins can't just immediately kick or ban a player ... there's a procedure to follow. Also, some admins don't have the authority (or even access) to randomly change maps, re-start servers, etc.. I get that and I agree with it. I'm still on XI playing to have FUN.
Many of you know each other in real life. I only know one XI member in real life ... my ex-wife (btw F.U. IceQueenHerb!) ... and I originally pointed her in the direction of XI after becoming a member. Even SHE has met or become real life friends with some XI members, which I think is awesome.
We have so many funny, entertaining, interesting, intelligent, honest and intriguing people playing on XI servers -- both XI members and non-XI members. We also have some regular XI and non-XI players that are assholes, but they generally fit the previous categories as well :).
I'll stop at this point and say that I have no idea what happens behind the big curtain. I just plan to keep playing on XI and have fun, and I encourage everyone else to do the same.

monkie reacted to RobMc in Should we ban world-class players???
I find it fascinating why these fuckers who mod everything still think they are 'great' players, no you are not, a blind man can see you have deliberately cheated. If you then get your rocks off by winning/getting high score it is not because of your skill - it is because you are cheating, full stop, sad fuckers, g13 cheaters nothing else.
signed Rob ex ub40, pip and universal credit
I also gather by reading a post we were not supposed to read that a 'safe haven server has been created for when these world class players turn up. If so then this post is useless as the decision to allow them to stay has already been made? If this is true then not many of us regulars will be left playing on our own servers - marvellous.
In fact as custom maps 2 is now obviously for professional non members I would suggest we all move to 1. But what do we do when they follow us ?? answers on a postcard please

monkie reacted to JFF echo in Should we ban world-class players???
If they created a server for more competitive players it would struggle with population. The players made/told to play there would get bored of playing against 1 or 2 other players and would go back on the original server this would annoy a minority of the players on there then it would be back to this.

As a world class player, the only thing I had to do was to get myself killed to stay in mid field. ? Just be happy and be the good folks you are. This is what makes this server fun to play! ❤️

Well the choice is simple
1/. Ten world class players and no one else
2/. Six hundred happy members who play on the servers

monkie got a reaction from Markoff in mp_erdingtonoff update
just played it and i like it? its good with a lot of players in the game as open to lots of kills and deaths of course. i think it would be good with around 8-12 in with rifles too as lots of grass to hide in. the only comment is couldn't shoot through the grass had to wait for a clearing or jump up. but nice map Markoff
