An open letter to the admins

[Ashy_Larry]

Let me just say that I have been playing this server for a while now. I have been playing tribes for even longer. Ive been playing long enough to deserve a little respect and also long enough for anyone else to know that I'm not a player that gets on to screw around, be a dick, destroy D, or anything of the like especially if its not in the off hours. I prefer to be left alone and let everyone else have their little dramas or whatever. To admins like Scarecrow and Sapo and Lawlz, I do believe you are ruining this game. I have little interest in watching your shenanigans, abuse players who have been faithfully playing for a long time while you laugh, punishing without even knowing if the player is guilty of doing something or if it was only accidental. You demand explanations from others before you discipline them and yet you don't give any yourselves. Furthermore, who is actually admining if everyone is playing? Shouldn't you be observing? If you want this server for yourselves and your little group, fine. But you will be responsible for ruining Tribes, for making it less likely that guys like me will come back here and it is guys like me that have kept this server going all these years, not you. I expect the benefit of the doubt if I make a mistake and apologize. I think that is courtesy, I also think I am entitled to it. If you don't want to give it, then you should give up the admin job. Sorry I can't be on 100% of the time. Why am I incensed tonight? Because you froze me? No its not that. Its that I have noticed this trend, I have watched this go on more and more. And I think some of the others who say what I am saying have a valid point. You don't care if I come back or not? Look at the numbers. How many of us can you afford to lose? After me, it will be another, and then another, and then someone else. Trust me, I won't lose sleep over it.

I'm sorry, can you give me the clifs on what they did wrong. That blob of text isn't quite descriptive.

That was morgoth, Ashy. He deserves to be castrated, but unfortunately all we get is kick or ban

[Lawlz]

So let me get this straight.
You're angry I'm freezing players who are Base killing their own defenses, locking their own teams in, and spamming votes to kick and be obnoxious to the community?

Guess you're right. Take my admin away. I'll stop providing quick actions to shitty people who want to actually ruin your game and just watch you piss and moan while I have zero power to do anything about it!

You come and throw in really half-baked accusations, yet you don't have a clue what's actually going on with certain players in this Annihilation Community. Before you sit there and accuse, how about you ask why we do what we did. I will always give a reason if someone asks for something I did. If someone is BKing, I always ask why they are, and if they don't answer me and that number continues to rise, I just freeze and OBS lock their team as a time out. If you vote avoid, I will carry out the vote be it a kick, a mute, anything.

So you coming here and saying we're bad admins is applaud-able, but we've heard it all before. Please come back with actual refutable proof that we are garbage admins, and then you'll have a case. I just find it ridiculous how you think you or anyone else who is actually just playing the game has been targeted by Sapo, Scare, or myself. In fact, we're probably a few of the nicest in this community that you'll meet. (Until you start bull-shit childish games like this.)

By the way, since you're apparently a wee-bit older you should know the traditional saying. Don't expect respect if you're not going to show any yourself.
I hope you learn from this!

Edit:

Also, why the fuck can't I play if I'm an Admin? I have no problems at all doing all my Admin shit and playing at the same time. Why do you think people were frozen, kicked, and forced into OBS while I was playing? Oh wait.. that's because I can multi-task! Not one person asked why I did what I did, and the rest of the player-base applauded what I did. I guess next time some guy is spamming vote kicks on you, I'll just let him do as he pleases instead of stepping in to save you; then maybe you'll realize the people who actually ruin your game.

Edit:Edit:

I'd also like to point out, if you're going to BK, fucking make it known why. If you don't, then that's your own problem. I don't have time to waste asking why you BKed 3 objects on the field on your own team. (But I will always assume it's malicious if the number keeps rising.) Even I state why I'm BKing an object on the field; so If an admin can do it, and play, and administer this rag-tag group, then so can a player.
