Title: "Ordered" to switch sides
Post by: Wobbly on September 13, 2008, 05:08:28 AM
Been playing about 6 months here and play for Bishops, and was on blue about 11 hours ago ( 2am uk time) where Bish had large numbers (orange was full). I was at TT fighting Rooks and there we were out numbered at the time, losing bases.

Anyway I get a pm from a someone saying they are a mod (after I asked, I have no idea who the mods are), I didnt see his original texts as I was in a tank dodging bombs and gvs, but got the gist that he was telling me to switch to Knights and its was, quote "AN ORDER".

I didnt immediately respond as I was busy, I was then told I was going to be reported to HTC for not complying with said "ORDER".

After I few pms each way I eventually understood what he was on about, but decided it was bed time anyway so logged. I know Bish had vastly superior numbers, but not on TT at the time where 3 of us were defending V bases against about 8 Rooks in planes and GVs

As I am fairly new

1) can mods ORDER you to change sides and is it reportable if you dont?

2) Who are the mods anyway, is there a list anywhere.

Thanks

Blimey

You will be never asked to change countries by anyone. This guy is full of crap. Do you remember the name by any chance?

1)  No they cannot.

2)  The mods are a rival group to the rockers that happened in the 60's?  I'm not sure,   your old enough to remember right Blimey?  

Seriously It is no-one elses business but your own.  If you want to balance gameplay voluntarily I would recommend it.   You get to meet the other 2/3rd's of the community who are just as nice if so more than the Bish  ;).   One thing I've never understood is when the arena could be   10,30,60   and you get guys on the 60 team whining about ENY and then trying to destroy the 10 teams remaining fields  by blowing up hangars and swarming fields  that just isn't cool.  :)

This is true for a short while, once we have liberated territory from Rooks & Nits it takes a while to get the smell out.  :aok

it was probably some buttwipe tardlette from the higher sided country, and couldn't get the tank or aircraft he wanted, so he was trying to get you to switch.
 technically, he was impersonating a moderator, and could be in deep cow doo doo.

 did you have film running? if so, send it to htc. they'll handle mr tardlette for ya.

actually, you saying that.......

i had switched to bish one night to find fights. i was returning my damaged hellkitty to the nearest base which happened to be a cv. had a portion of the wing gone, fuel leak, losing oil, and pw. the cv was turning, but i started to try to line up anyway. next i know, i vet a vox message telling me it's clear to land and the cv was now traveling straight. whomever had control, actually straightened it out for me. THAT was pretty cool in my book.

Your lucky it wasn't 1 of the people who don't careabout anyone and drive the good cvs right up to shore and say "come on guys take the base,let's go,let's go" while they go off in a LVT and think the town is down and then scream on vox "WHY ISN'T THE TOWN DOWN I TOLD YOU TO ATTACK THE BASE?!?" and not to mention if you do attack the base and then come back to land on the cv,they turn it into a circle and ask "Is they town down??????"
and you say "No" then he says "THEN GO KILL IT" and you say "I'm out of ord in need to land" and then he takes the cv half way across the map and becomes silent,and every time you try to take off from that cv(even though you shouldn't)he turns it until you leave.

A true mod warning would have popped up in a separate box, like a join request, only containing a warning.

Mod's don't PM people, HTC does not want people to know who they are. So if his identity becomes known he loses the mod ability.

Mods really couldn't care less what country you fly for.

They are there to do their bit trying to make this a better place for everyone.

Quoted for truth.  Wish you had film or a screenshot of it.

Someone impersonating a mod is something I'm sure HTC would appreciate film of in a private email, should it ever happen again.

I gv with Hawk all the time and have never seen him do anything like that.
If he did -- he must have found my stash buried under the tree and I am not
responsible for his actions. :D
