Want too sure where to put this one, it isn't off topic random as it has a lot to do with mount and blade, and as NW is the main game played on these forums i thought id put it here.
Okay, now everyone and i mean everyone, has a `little troll side` to them.
Dont deny it, everyone at some point has found it funny to kill teammates, whether its in single player in a meaningless game, or in a tdm with friends all in good spirit.. everyone has found it funny to teamkill at some point.
This game, is the game of games for trolling, there are hundreds maybe thousands of ways to do it, from repeatedly typing, to chanting, to building shit to blocking to teamwounding to teamkilling you name it, almost any activity in this game can be considered `trolling` for somebody on the receiving end of it.
All i am pointing out is what do you expect, its a video game unlike any other, where you can literally do as you want from being a good guy to a villain, from musician to king of the kills, so of course people are going to tk and troll..
it doesnt mean they are bad people, nor does it mean you should be blocking their key which they could have spent about 15 dollars or whatever on.
I agree, if somebody (like i used to do) is going to blow up lots of people, and cause havoc.. then yes of course in that circumstance they deserve their key to be banned, same with people who make anti semitic comments, however..... once theyve been banned on their key.. the punishment of them having to buy a new key should be more than enough to give them a new chance on their new key...
did you know that i have about 30 keys on NW and 84e banned, simply for having the name betty... without tking or grieving or doing shit.. just a ban on sight... not to mention theres countless other people in NW who have been log banned because admins assumed they were me... no questions asked nothing just perm ban
Ask yourselves.. step away from the regiment b.s and think.. `really`? `really`?
People take game this way too seriously.. to proove my point i quote and here is a direct quote from an admin once

https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=70.msg81480#msg81480Im wondering about the policy towards arty crew who aren't trolling but are simply so incompetent that they aren't even hitting the walls let alone breaching thus ruining the game for attackers. most dont even respond in chat when you try to help them but on the other hand their negative impact is significantly greater than that of a single teamwounder

really? even the thought of punishing somebody who isn't good enough at artillery is ridiculous, its just beyond stupid, yet then again ive seen people in mount and blade games been perm banned simply for double gunning, or blocking a cannon, yep, petty ridiculous things.
this is not aimed anyone in particular... this is a general matter, but i do not know any other games, no matter how strict the admins are.. that have such a gestapo style way of banning people and taking their online feeling of power (which counts for absolutely nothing in the real world by the way), out on people.
By the way once again this thread is discussing multiplayer, not this forum. I feel this is a very good forum with great, but fair admins who do give people (long as they dont take the biscuit) a chance, and i feel that if this firm but fair admin style of this forum, was applied to the main servers where yes, excessive tking or below the belt racism would be dealt with, with a perm ban to the key... but this `banning on sight` gestapo shit is absolutely ridiculous...
just ban the key when they misbehave, if there doing nothing wrong then you have no right/reason to ban.
I myself stopped about early january from being a regular tkr, mostly because i got bored, also the fact that on NW i was a ban on sight before i even got a chance to lay down the tnt.. i mean how ridiculous is that.
I find/ found that i enjoyed playing legit, and would frequently gain top score..
it wasnt easy changing my playing habits, but if i can change my way.. then anybody can,
But once again.. this spanish inquisition style of ruthless `ban happy` admin-ing on the main server, does nothing but make the servers feel like a prison when every two seconds the pink writing comes up with a `dont open gates, dont stand here dont stand there, dont sneeze` etc....
Thanks for reading this... also i thought itd be funny if people write what the silliest reason they have seen somebody kicked or banned for (i saw somebody get a temp ban for being afk once)
