*DAMN R6 Forum

Frankly i can't belive how many clans havnt CB'ed. Things arn't right in the air. sar and crypt havnt been doing their usual 80 cqb's and I've never seen so many inactive clans on the GhR team ladder... WHAT IS IT? ??? ???

I Think people are just scared of breaking a rule or being disqualified. It's simply ludacris.

Maby they don't like you, give it some time, when ppl are off for holidays im sure there will be more.

This season is really disappointing for z][t.
Yesterday we asked over 5 clans that had 3 or members online if they wanted to cb but we got following excuses:

Person XXX: No, I just opened a siege room and I have 4 people here waiting for me to start it.

Person YYY: No, we are too scared of you.

Person ZZZ: We don't like 2 vs 2... Let us get one more guy online and we can cb. *we fetch another of their guys* Hmmm.... 3 vs 3 is no fun. Get us TWO more and we will cb.

Person XYY: Nah, we would rather like to cb someone we haven't played before (we have played them once).


Season 6 is a bundle of fun.

I want to cb as many different clans as possible
I think we only cbed one clan twice

and flies whats the point in getting back to real life as you know after that christmas present you will be a living plant again.

Now last season people where screaming that the admins didnt played GHr so we picked admins thta played it, but now I miss the core clan on the ladder :(

Flies you owe us a win  ;)

would love to stay and chat but I have to go do some christmas shopping and find a tree...

I know that most of my clan is in the throws of the end of semesters at college right now, so we've rarely had 3 members on at the same time (that are actually there, not idle and away).

Also, I think there's a lot of people (like me and Alaric) looking forward to RvS, and not as much at GhR.  

2 words: Raven Shield, that will storm this community like a madman, and activity will be up again. :)

Like everyone said maybe everyone is just tired of Ghost Recon.

Look at it this way.

The amount of GhR games always up: 11+
Average time someone plays GhR: 30 min - 2 hours
Average CB time during earlier cbs: 1-8 hours
Average amount of cbs done during that season: 100+

Of course those statistics aren't accurate but really how can you expect people to stay interested in a game they have put that many hours into? You can't.

It might also have to do with the fact  that nowadays to go into a cb you need a law degree just incase something goes wrong to fight it out.

Tis true, tis so true, firstly i think people are becoming tired of GhR. - Many of us have played it to death, we know ever inch of ever map, every tatic, every gun etc etc....
Then weve got AA .. a new game, which people want to play! - its fresh, new, it provides a different sort of game style etc. Then of course there are the holidays as christmas looms (omg i have to do some christmas shopping)
Perhaps people are storing up for the resease of Raven shield (two words ;) )

Then of course there is just having to get on with normal life ;)

I think there are many reasons why Ghost Recon as a whole has kind of flat-lined right now.

?   Season 6 started very soon after the end of a timultious Season 5.
?   Some people have just lost interest in the game completely.
?   Quite a few of us out there have final exams and such.  I'm currently working a 30 page paper discussing the inequities of household roles in countries where Islam is the dominant religion.  Sounds like fun huh?
?   If anyone remembers Season 4, I think BTs, |n|, and c| were some of the only clans to CB when the season started.  We were all anxious for the season to start, and when it did... nobody wanted to CB.  I remember some clans said they weren't going to CB for 2-3 weeks due to training and recruiting.  I feel that Season 6 is just going through some of the same stuff.  Season 3 ended, and then Season 4 came very soon after (somewhat).  Season 4 ended, and then Season 5 took forever and a month of Sundays to come.  When it did, 500+ CB's in the first 2 days.  I liken this to having sex.  When you are having so much of it, and so often, you kinda slow your pace down.  But when you have been denied sex for whatever reasons (asking for a 3-way, smacking her sister's ass (she liked it), and flirting with the girl at Nordstrom's), when that sex comes along again, you're like a sailor on shore leave.

I think people are reading into this a bit too much.  Just play if you want to play.  The CB's will come in a short time.  Christmas break will be upon us very shortly, and when it does, the rooms will be full, and the CB's will be long.  On that note, you all have a good night.  I'm off for more sex.  wOOt!

Well speaking for me, GHR burnout.  The game has outworn it's welcome.  Besides, some of us have moved on to AA which we find more exciting.  Also, RvS is looking like a replacement on the horizon.  I think GHR is just about dead like I have stated before.  Don't get me wrong though.  If you actually see 4 BTs active on GR (not idle), ask for a CB and you will most likely get it.

Acri, we have asked you for team cb's plenty of times dude, and we have yet to do one.

lmao. I couldn't agree more. That's what makes ghr cbing and rs cbing different.

However without the law books, most clans would get screwed over by guys who were simply interested in winning and not playing good fair enjoyable games....

We just cant win

Yeah we need a new game...Ghost recon had it's run and now it's time for another game to take it's place

Kuza

c| is going at season 6 care free, if we're on and you wanna cb, PM me or any member.  Though it will be hard to find more then 2 members on at a time due to school, AA, life, and other reasons. We're up for anything.

Doc, I think that is the attitude every clan should have toward Cb's.
people are too uptight about winning. hah we should all be like X1!

thats 2 words crypt  ;)

Just to clarify the e?e position on this Battle League.

I, clan leader of e?e declare I, e?e G??nk, won't do any more boring CB EVER. Of course, my members are free to do CBs and I have nothing agsint it. We've played 15 CBS or something and haven't won a single one, also we were close sometimes, very close even. It's so fucking boring to spend 2 hours in a CB with all that fucking stress and in the end you just loose I prefer to do normal games, taking the support guy and just have fun. That's my opinion sorry. So much for CBs... have fun guys.

Again, I have nothing against Battle League, I even like the concept, but when I do CBs I don't have fun AT ALL.

e?e is a big clan for age of empire II but our Ghost Recon section is small (6-7 players) and we live all around the world. We live in different time zones. The best we can do is to have 2 players online at the same time. We are all 25+ old and have family lives. Some of us can't afford to stay 2 hours in a raw. Even 1 hour. Sorry. And in the end we loose. Man what a relief. Sorry if I sound bitter but that's how I feel.

[EDITED] and what about AA:O? Why opening a Battle League of AA:O if we can't even host a game easily. We need a fucking PC!!

Goonk, why host a league for GHR when it sucks ass?

A2 and N both have servers which are avalible for CBs.

Why is everyone saying that GhR is dead....?
RS has survived for 15 years so far...and that game is not half as interesting as GhR, so I bet we will still be playing Embassy in 2018.  8)

I don't understand
I will answer anyway :)
- Battle league kicks ass. It's a great idea. I'm just not interested in CBs but i like to see my mates of e?e doing CBs.
- GHOST RECON KICKS ASS AND I PLAY IT 20 HOURS / WEEK AT LEAST
- thanks for telling me where i can play CBs but we can host our own CBs. At least we know how to host.

Gook-

He was implying that we have hosts to support team matches in the Damn BL.  AA is not that easy to host from a personal computer given the bandwidth and overal needs it requires.  Also, If I recall, you cannot play on the .::|N|etwork sever either due to your inability to pick a kit other than support.    ;)

LOL I believe I don't take Support that much but some times i like to fuck the server up.
Lots of players blocked me eventually. But I don't care. There are still lots of servers availlable.

Noo... I mean NICE attitude there.

Yes, real nice attitude....thank goodness only nades crash my server....I can take all the support fire you can dish out.....muhahahahahahahaha

Raven shield is two words.  ;)

Geez, that was pointed out twice now, but it's fixed, all it was was a typo.

well not ghr overall, but the ghr ladder.  It doesn't really represent anything anymore that's why, no offense to any of the clans, but of the clans who I would say were the best 4, not one of them is currently in one of the top 4 positions (the finals positions) on the ladder

we know crypt-e were just givin yah a hard time ;)
HEY, drinks on the house(http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/beer.gif)

Sorry guys, I've been getting so much ass lately that there's like no time left for cb's.

That's good to hear Wick... What's his name?  Does he play GhR too?  Or is he an AA guy?

;)

.::|N| Noto

it was a joke, i never take support.

I think I am personally addressed a bit here. Lately I have declined more CB requests than I had normal chats with people.

I have multiple reasons for not feeling like joining a CB, only one of these reasons I think is worth posting here. This issue did remind me of the war between Netscape and Microsoft IE on Windows some years ago.

Is it really legal by law to quit any third party applications like Netfone (this happens when joining a game from within Gameranger) without consent from the user first? This issue sure has reduced my joy of playing games as a clan.

You can't simply expect all members to have a Premium account. Also: maybe Netfore is used to listen to a sleeping baby while playing a game. The fact GR now is affecting the use of Netfone made me look at the the GR concept with different eyes. Evill eyes :) Your luck I am not a lawyer, else I would have a new hobby!

By the way, now that this subject (off topic) came up, i must add:

I have no clue why I was kicked and later banned from the .::|N|etwork server a while back... I don't use support and always try to be a fair player.... I might have some comments sometimes, but I do not drool or spam the chats.... I do know now some hosts feel godlike if they have a fast server with plenty of players. And sometimes they forget that suddenly being ejected from a server can come as a nasty surprise for humble humans. The worst in my case was that I was banned after I re-joined to ask why I was kicked without a message... (I also refer to my other post about respect and tolerance)

Just admit that a silent and sudden ban from a game where I was playing nice and fair for over an hour if I remember well, has simply .::No style... Maybe I was banned in stead of G??nk, who knows? (the lucky g??nk has dynamic ip, i have a fixed address, so i am still banned i guess.).... What ever the reason was, the .::N style does not get my respect.

If this is a general policy for .::N clan, the banned IP list on the .::|N|etwork sever must be about 4.31 Megabytes in size now :)

Short answer, yes.

I think we need a new mascot, hmm time to start the votes!

I'm not sure how you joined the server in the first place. I banned you back in March 2003 I think.  I've even had you blocked on GR for the better part of a year now.  I believe it was before you were a part of e?e.  Nevertheless, your block & ban stays.


Actually, the actual ban.txt file itself is cleaned out every few days if there is anyone there at all.  Currently, I believe BTs_sar and BTs_Crypt are the only ones that are actually IP Banned.  The rest of you are simply blocked.  I might add that Gian was one of the first people I ever blocked on GR.

.::|N| Noto

P.S.  As for the rest of your clan, I was getting quite sick of you guys bitching about lag.  If the rooms holds a max of 14, and 5 of you join with 5 other Euro players, and the e?e guys pick support, then guess what... It's going to lag a bit.  In closing, I believe most, if not all, of e?e has been blocked from joining .::|N| Server 1, .::|N| Server 2, and the old school |n|`Server One.  Have a nice day.

Best thing to do when you are banned, is to just live with it, I mean it's not like you've been locked out of your own house with the keys on the other side.

Wow, Noto, you have BTs_sar and BTs_Crypt IP Banned?  I would never ban any member of the famed BTs.....they are all just much too cool for that.

-Disclaimer:  This post was in no way financed by any member of the BattleTek Squad.

Disclamer-Views expressed by ghost are not nessiscarly those expressed by GM ;)

lmao Kuza.....so right!

We were banned for something that we didn't entirely do, but i don't really give a fuck about it.

lol beautiful. no beating about the bush eh ;)

First I want to say I'm very sorry for asking for an answer to this question on the wrong forum thread.. I lost track of my posts.... See I normally do not post as much on these forums as I did in the past few days.

Yes I was in the US in those days and not yet an e?e member (I did have a different IP, different nick, was just called GiaN). Maybe my return to Amsterdam made it possible to join again. Maybe you re-installed your Server, I was also pretty surprissed to suddenly be able join again.

I do not take responsibility for rest of the e?e clan with the currently running issues. So do not talk to me about that, I clearly ask to close the topics and return to normal behavior.

Note: for the record I am a german in the netherlands and not at all french.

Thanks for finally using words to clarify things. I had already accepted that your block & ban stays as is. This is by the way a super contradict to your own words: "the actual ban.txt file itself is cleaned out every few days" But you still did not answer the "why" question. You only say that you will stick with it and that you hate people refering to experienced lag on your system. I wasn't speaking french that day, was I? I can't even speak a full sentence in french, so it must have been you your perception!

Well since it all will remain the same, I will still think you use a weird metods and reasons for a clan host. We all seem to get sick of some things here!

Cheers,
Have Fun, or .::|N|ot

It's not a disease GiaN ;)

I would clean out by ban file, but my buddy list would still have had you blocked.  I probably removed you for a bit, but that might have been on accident.  Back when a hosted a ton in Season 3 and 4, I always gave a warning by stating why you were about to be ejected, and then you would be ejected.  If you came back and pulled the same crap, or something new, I would just ban you.  I have no clue why you were banned/blocked.  It was probably because of one of the follwing reasons:

?   Multiple tk's in 2 or more games in a row = ejected
?   Coming back after being ejected for tking, and then tking again = ban
?   Never readying up, therefore, holding up the game. = ejection
?   Coming back, and still be afk for game starts = ban
?   Flaming the host (me) = ejection
?   Coming back wondering why you were ejected, only to flame some more = ban
?   Generally acting like an asshole to the other players = ejection
?   Coming back and doing any of the above, including being an asshole to people = ban
?   Name impersonation = ban
?   No name = ejection

It's simple, and I'm pretty sure most hosts do this.  Eject for a first offense, and then ban for repeated violations.  I even left warnings in the server name for people.  They still didn't get it.

As for e?e, I was getting sick of almost everyone of those guys coming in acting like a bunch of spider monkeys.  getting there hands on everything and throwing poop.  I startyed to eject them one by one after awhile, but when they would come back only to flame, I simply banned them.  It's my choice who I want to play with when I'm running my own server, and I've really only had problems with some people/clans.  The reason you are still banned/blocked from joining is because of your clan tag e?e.  I know that seems childish, but I don't have the time or patience to find out which one of you guys is actually the nice one, and since you were banned/blocked previously, you were again reblocked simply by guilt of association.  Sorry.

If it makes them feel better sar has still banned me from his server. althogh i think he unbanned me....not sure Buddies for life sar buddies for life...
