Can something be done about this idling dotard? This guy idles constantly, ruining any semblance of balance. Apparently he's either too lazy or too stupid to just go to spec instead of idling. The opposing team won't kickvote him since it makes their job easier to leave him in. He has completely ruined match after match, often times being on the team with less players making it a 2 player down match. Idk what his malfunction is, but I feel if he can't be responsible enough to spec, then maybe he shouldn't be on the server until he wakes up.

I have no problem if he at least makes an effort, but damn, this guy idles 95-98% of the time.

That’s the guy always in spec mode that once in a while says all women must die ?
Probably a serial killer.

I know what you mean but I don't want to ban a guy if he suddenly has to take care of his kid or some such. I could reduce the idle timer but that could possibly make for worse balancing if a strong player joins late instead of being present for the initial balance if he or she has to quickly grab a drink between matches etc.

Here is the previous thread about him and what I wrote here is just an addition to what I previously wrote in the old thread:
https://eatsleeput.com/d/461-wish-me-luck

He can be a bit odd.

He is playing like that for years , he is a good runner , less a good hitter with 2-10% eff. He just need to shoot and not only run , but still more effective then a loth of players on the server.

    ESUOH for sure he's good runner since he's teleporting as hell which makes him unhittable thats aint normal also, must be one the best runners tho huh like annoying with bouncing macro same skillbased man which cant do nothin but cap cuz of some technical unusual advantage right
    just had to say it somewhere now i feel free ty

        I doubt he has a macro to bounce a simple mouse wheel bind and patience on a empty server is all that's required to learn to bounce. Hell I can get 2 or 3 bounces with nothing but the spacebar. There are tutorials from over 10 years ago showing how to bounce off the jump pads for pure IG.

          jerc this is not that simple as u said, the main thing is that i never saw annoying miss atleast one bounce (made it non-perfect), even when jumping up by some inclination thing, ppl in bt community were fighting for bt-slidebitch record for 15 years straight to maintain perfects all the time and still the wr there is beatable (since i did better on the server with auto-bounce feature), i mean even best bt players which spend their years on bouncing couldnt keep it perfect, but annoying, the guy which cant kill even 10 players and have no idea about movement at all but just spamming grapple is a bounce genius, this is ridiculous
          yeah for sure u can do 2-3 jumps with spacebar, but i talk about perfect with maintaining speed, not just keep on jumping
          i dont mind about bouncing in ctf at all that's a normal practice, this is what i was doing myself when playing ictf pugs when i was getting boosted by other players, but annoying is above everything with his bounces being a complete noob, nah this is weird, idk
          well i dont tell he gotta be banned or whatever idc, i just said that im sure that he's using macro thats my pov and im not pushing this, just my pov

              forsezor wich macro? please tell, i saw him do bouncing in an impossible map, forgot the name of map but it was tight corners with huge middle hall that go's vertical very high and jumpads to jump to other team base. i was really impressed. could not stop him.

                  Covid_A_Swab i dont really wanna talk about whats macro and how to create this, using macros like this isnt fair to me so if u dont know whats this then i dont want to be the one who will explain sry

                      forsezor you mean keybindings? like this? MouseWheelDown=OnRelease XVJumpReleased|JumpRel|DoubleJump|Jump
                      MouseWheelUp=OnRelease XVJumpReleased|JumpRel|DoubleJump|Jump

                      you call that macro? or something outside of UT99? i know it means something about using a 1 key for multiple keys in windows but i never use it.

                      ESUOH im talking about Annoying.

                            Covid_A_Swab yeah i mean something outside the game which is doing all those things for him, its not about ingame configs

                              Covid_A_Swab
                              it is simply a separate program that interferes with your input devices, such as mouse, keyboard and others, previously programmed by you with any combination you want to create. In such a combination, you can, for example, include the exact coordinates of the mouse movement along with its movement speed, rest time, the order of key clicks. You can also create a macro of each keyboard key and/or keyboard shortcuts by modifying the rate of their typing and/or the time between taps.
                              I almost forgot. The same goes for joysticks.
                              You program it for any key to run your macro and enjoy semi-automatic performance of various activities on the computer.
                              In other words, it is such an aid that will help people who do not like to strain their own brain too much.

                                euh hi guys! 😃

                                I do not use any macros to bounce (not even sure that is possible...)
                                I did spend a lot of time in London2 (now Amsterdam) training the bounce technique.. Initially it was super easy with my mouse Logitech G604 as it featured a "infinite scroll wheel" is was basically set the wheel to rotate, throw a grapple and bounce non-stop..
                                Unfortunately that mouse died, and I got myself a Razer Naja pro V2, which does not have a "infinite scroll wheel". It's still quite simple to bounce, I just have to rotate the wheel when hitting the floor... Actually what works for me is to slowly start to rotate the wheel before hitting the ground, so when I hit the ground, for sure I'm rotating the wheel...

                                With time, I've learned to turn, rotate, shoot and control where I land WHILE bouncing...

                                Jerc is being modest that MF can bounce pretty nicely xD

                                How fast can a topic go off topic?? And there we are again: about bouncing!

                                We all agree on Sapito doesnt bounce? There's already another thread about bouncing, you can use that!

                                https://eatsleeput.com/d/496-can-we-at-least-consider-a-referendum-on-hopping

                                Imo Sapito can play on this server like any other player, there are no skills required or anything. If someone doesnt like it, pls leave or play somewhere else.

                                  I say ban / kick him. He always throws off the balance. One time I got stuck with him in a 3v3 and he was idle, you have to shoot him so he wakes up and types back, usually it's some BS excuse like he's depressed. He has these weird patterns where in the middle of playing he just stops and goes idle. Force him into spec!!

                                  I think that dude probably has some issues.
                                  Maybe a disability or something like that. This game probably all he has lol
                                  I wouldn't kick him.

                                    Yes he spends alot of time in spec snowguy should charge him rent.

                                    Jacey Imo Sapito can play on this server like any other player

                                    Except he barely plays and mostly idles. If he was sitting permanently in spec mode writing all the bs he writes - w/e, but he joins in, makes 1-2 runs for flag and then just stops playing.

                                    drunken_fool This game probably all he has lol

                                    He is free to play UT off-line or on an empty server with bots. After all: if you got something that forces you go afk quite often - on-line games are not for you.

                                    I say: ban him - maybe it would help him to get his head out of his arse and do something about his supposed depression.
