General Discussion / Re: No Officer Shooting Rule
« on: March 10, 2015, 11:33:05 am »
You can look at it from the other perspective.
Every shot fired at the officer is a shot not fired at people who are at that time far more lethal (musket vs pistol damage output is a non-argument). If you can convince the enemy to waste entire volleys on an officer that is multiple people in your own line who would not have been around to get kills in the return volley.
This is especially effective when the officer stands off to the side of line slightly or is on the generals horse, there are plenty of videos with 5+ guys attempting to chase the general in melee who keeps just out of reach whilst the line infantry now have a +5 man advantage against a previously equal foe. Or a whole line firing at the general instead of the unit charging them for melee which is by far the greater threat.
People seem fascinated with shooting the leaders, if you have a well drilled regiment who can either operate on voice commands without a physical body to follow or a suitably capable person steps up to take over you can gain significant advantages over the enemy through their overzealous officer targeting desire which makes negligible tactical sense.
We live in the realm of flying death cam and teamspeak, just because you shot the guy doesn't instantly "throw everyone into chaos". If anything you just gave their commander a UAV to make things even easier in large battles.
But hey, Logic + Internet = Does not compute.

Funny how everyone has a friend or a brother who is to blame for them getting banned.
Name has Zero to do with it, they ban by Unique ID which is tied to your Taleworlds CD key or Steam CD Key. If he was on your PC / Steam account using YOUR Unique ID that is YOUR fault for trusting him with it to begin with.
Now the title says not the place to request unbans, you have had your answer. Any further posts will be removed.

For somebody who wants people to NOT click something you sure are re-posting it a lot...
As for Lindrhos, you clearly knew what you were doing wasn't acceptable by the fact you made a poll asking if people fell for it. Enjoy your mute.

And here we have Exhibit A of why your threads get closed. *Points at this thread*
On topic is so far over the horizon it isn't even a dot any more and rampant moderation is required on pretty much every page.
Most of your warning history is for instigating, perhaps take a look at why and you might not be so paranoid about Moderators and their perceived desire to ban you.

Well this has turned into a direct argument between two people who obviously have their issues.
Take it to PMs, if you don't like the Regiment Leaders ability to prevent people trolling, derailing, spamming etc their thread because you want to talk to your friends. Find another way to talk to them, there are multitudes available.

Official Servers Bans & Unbans / Re: Unban appeal for Gnarth_Spearum (I can explain)
« on: September 27, 2014, 08:57:46 am »Counts as a slur on the server it a a homophobic slur mate for some so it counts.
plus an accidental tk does't create a slay purposefull does.
So you have now posted nothing useful three times, twice editing your own post so you "don't get in trouble". You obviously know full well you should not be wading in on this thread yet you continue to do so.
You should only be posting here if you are a direct witness or it is you who got banned. Read the rules and you won't receive warning points in future.

Popcorn post removed, however beyond that from what I can read other regiments have a grievance with the way you conduct yourself. They came here and made a lengthy and well explained post detailing why they have an issue with your regiment and you in particular containing nothing overly aggressive or outright abuse throwing.
With reference to your "rule quotes" - Details of how a regiment, particularly its leading officers behave towards other members of the community is extremely "Relevant" to the thread in question. Just because it paints you in a bad light does not mean you get it removed by spam reporting every post you dislike.
They have said their piece and you have opted to play the moderator card. In this instance the posts will not be edited or removed, however should the regiments in question wish to continue the discussion I recommend doing it via more private channels to avoid descending into areas that will result in moderation and warnings.
Given you have now received your requested "moderator input" the thread will be unlocked and monitored closely.

General Discussion / Re: Point Blank Rule ™
« on: September 13, 2014, 11:13:54 am »
From a line battle perspective point blanking is an effective way of immediately removing a threat and throwing the balance squarely in your sides favor, if the officer led the charge at such a time that they are all sat there fully reloaded and capable of point blanking to begin with then it was a poorly timed charge and you are suffering the consequences.
You can throw the whole "its not honorable" crap around all day long, you are just bitter that you didn't get into melee where your endless hours of practice might have been decisive due to it being the primary area that individual skill applies (or might not, they may well be better at melee than you). At the end of the day, you're dead and they are free to run rampant in what remains of your line, anyone not taking that as an opportunity is tactically inept.
For public play sure it is annoying as hell, but this is public play what did you expect. If you aren't being TKd by poorly aimed British Rockets, endlessly run down by that one guy on a horse or shot from people hiding in bushes you aren't getting the "NW Public Experience™"
