by being AFK on the server, you are wasting a player spot and are therefor interfering with people that may be trying to get onto a full server.  and thats not a hypothetical statement, it has happened before.

eViL ... I am only going to say this once more, so be sure to take notes: I AM ONLY AFK FOR LONG PERIODS AT NIGHT.

Oh, hell.... twice for good measure:

I AM ONLY AFK FOR LONG PERIODS AT NIGHT.

I have yet to see the server suddenly FILL UP at 3:00am after having been almost dead empty, and I've been playing for a month. It's reasonable to assume it will Never happen, unless people start taking MDMA every few days and can't sleep anymore.

....And if it's REALLY that MUCH of a concern, I'm sure it would be a simple matter to edit my script so it would automatically disconnect me from the server once the last client slot has been filled.... not that it would ever get a chance to, but it would be insurance against whiners, eh?

we have played (or managed in particle's case) the server for a hell of a lot longer than you have been around and we know what can happen.  Back when i played, the server would be at 25+ players damn near constantly EVEN AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING.  Just because you and your lil unsavory woman ass hasn't been around long enough to see that, doesn't mean you have the right to make a huge assumption.

eViL - Fine... I'll take your word for it. How about this, if the script detects 30 players are in the server, it disconnects me. ;-p

Lidge Farkley - Crack? Where! *forages around the floor for some fallen rocks and ends up smoking pieces of the carpet* ;-p

I think it is soo funny that evil think he is an admin. You DON'T own the server evil, You're nothing. Stop scarring noobs into thinking you are admin.

....i guess we should let him think what he likes..as long as he is happy :P

eViL knows first hand not to piss me off. I suggest you memorize his words.

As for suggestions.. Those weren't suggestions..

Those were orders. You follow them or you won't be able to afk train at all.  And trust me, Your scripts mean nothing. You don't have to be on the server to be punished.

UG... Xanth's jailing me for being AFK was not punishment - at least not in a sense that is acceptable by the Rules. It was his way of getting to me in order to kill me. The second time I was AFK, I was in a very hard to reach area... nothing short of jailing me (to take me to Fort Ethren) would have worked anyway, I guess. This, I don't care about.

The only thing that irritated me was he'd forget to unconfine me when he was done. That's why I posted here in the first place.

In any case, since I'm not there to irritate him anymore, he has no reason to get to me to kill me... by jailing or any other means.

...As for your orders... until I see it on the Rules page, which I just checked again right now to be sure, it's just something someone said on a forum (I don't even know who you are!) ...And it IS a suggestion, because there are other people who AFK train on the server for hours at a time, and they have no idea that this discussion is even happening.

So, in summary, a rule is always well-known by everyone and well-enforced by the admins, whereas a suggestion is something one person says to one other person in an out-of-the-way place, like a forum. After tomorrow's lesson there will be a quiz.

Not exactly.

Haven't you ever heard of House Arrest? It doesn't apply to everyone. Only ones who are put under it. Consider yourself in that position. And you are picking a fight with the wrong person.

I honestly don't care about everyone else.. You are the one who started this, now prepare to face the finish.

And who am I?

You should fear me more than anyone else. Except particle.

dunno about that one, i think you are worse :P).

Test this:  step into the server and go afk, and then let ozzy come into the server.  i am sure you will find that what xanth is doing to you is much better off than what ozzy will do to you.  Guaranteed.

i have seen ozzy strip people of all their malarkey because they were afk.  i have seen ozzy do completely off the wall malarkey to them as well (ie- taking them back to level 1 and stripping them of all their skills), and jailing would be a hell of a lot better punishment than what ozzy would do to you.

Ozzy doesn't like afk'ers.  Neither does the rest of the server, no matter where you are.

Exactly. And what rules page? This isn't a democracy. What the admins say goes, period. You don't like it, go away. The only "rules" are what comes out of the admin's mouth. The rules page is only there to prevent things from happening.

Admins have lost admin status before in particles server. Xanth Jails people he doesn't like and puts a BOT in with them and it kills them.  Taurik Xanth jailed me a few days ago and i got your pack, it had your shield. armor and a few weapons.
