banned from BF42.com #1 ?
Tue Oct 14, 2003 4:36 pm
Sunday night my friend and I ("I. Rock" and "B. Rock", respectively) were banned from BF42.com #1. I don't remember the exact time, but I know it was the early evening (around 6pm CST) and the map was El Alamein. There was one admin on that I knew of (at least he had an admin tag on), name was Bulywilf or something close I believe.
I. Rock and I were just playing the game, fighting to take over a flag when we were both kicked. We both got back on and I asked why we were kicked (wasn't an auto, we hadn't TK'd or had high pings), and we were both kicked again, which actually turned out to be a ban. Just wondering what we did to make the admins angry.

Was it El Alamein? I thought it was Wake.
Yeah, it was pretty strange. During that particular game, there was a whole lot of planecamping going on. The way I remember it, B was in the air and had just shot down an enemy plane. I was running for some sort of a vehicle after waiting maybe less than a minute for an airplane (and there were others waiting, too). As a general personal rule, I rarely wait around for planes anyway. We both got kicked at the same time, which strongly implies we were singled out.
Nor was any sort of a warning given, or a reason for the kick. It was -really- strange. And then we were banned for whatever reason.
Seriously, I'd apologize for whatever it is I did if I knew what it was. If it was a truly heinous violation, I'll accept the ban for being an idiot.

It was probably a 10-minute ban. Try again. You won't get a permanent ban unless you do something more heinous than plane camping.
As for warnings, we gave up on that, what with the chat lag being up to 10 MINUTES on a busy map.

We were banned on Sunday and I couldn't get on during my lunch break today (Wednesday), so I don't think it was just a 10 min ban.

Yeah, as of 19:30 CST today (Wednesday) I still can't connect to the server. Sucks too, because going from a BF42.com server to an EA server is like trying to give tech support over the phone to a middle-aged man who can't program a VCR: it just don't work.
