Your disillusion of yourself obviously shows with your first statement. As pointed out by members on that thread filling a server with fake clients 1. May get you delisted 2. Doesn't give a good experience for the end user. Hence why you FAIL. Then lets look at your next comment about top ranked clan servers! How exactly do you think they be came top ranked, was it through word and mouth of running good servers and building a community to support the players so they enjoy playing there? NO they con players on to there servers showing servers virtually full even when there virtually empty. Unfortunately so many unsuspecting publics join and make a snow ball effect, as we've all pointed out before if a server only has 2 or 20 players on it at least when someone random joins they know that. Hence why servers listing fake connections to populate there servers are also FAIL. The affect that this has on the genuine games community is 2 fold. 1. Random publics are enticed onto substandard servers and don't join good community servers. 2. The publics then have a bad gaming experience which generally will change there point of view of said game in a negative way.
Someone pointed out what does this have to do with running servers, this has everything to-do with running servers. This has to-do with running good servers to meet the needs of the end user because that is how real player bases & communities are built unlike the con artists of XXL & Lotus! Im an average guy I work hard for a living and ive been running our games community as a interest for over 5 years which we started with as a cs1.2/3/4/5/6 clan and slowly built up from there, its like being shafted every time I turn the pc on to see these idiots abusing the gaming community in general. Peace to all genuine admins let the rest rot in hell! -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of 1nsane Sent: 07 June 2009 11:55 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Lotus.clan Lotus is awesome. I'm awesome and you clearly suck :D. There's a bunch of servers with fake players that aren't delisted. Remember there's a public fake player plugin that hasn't been broken. Anyone is free to use it: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=74304 Go around joining some of the top ranked servers run by random clams and type in "meta list" in console and you'll see.
