Balancing teams on Hirntot
Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2020 6:59 pm
Good evening,
as it happens quite often the last few days, I have a question to the admin role on Hirntot server:
Is it the task of an admin to keep the balance between teams on the server during a campaign?
If so, why do messages like: "XXXX have over 20000 more damage given - PLEASE BALANCE THE TEAMS!" not ring a bell?
Why do teams +3000 XP vs 1800 XP not lead to an reaction?
How would you describe a situation, where the first 4 players of my team do not even reach the XP of the 6th player of the opponent team?
I count myself to the leisure time players: I don't care if I'm last in the XP list, although I know and play ET for more than a decade with big breaks in between. I also don't care if I have 5 kills and 35 deaths. Some day my skill is really bad, the other day it is worse. I enjoy the game, not taking care of my skills. It would be MY duty to increase my skill.
BUT: I utterly hate people finding it funny to let the other team not even get out of the spawn, and getting assistance by admin - not in kind of spawncamping, but just not doing anything - as he belongs to the superior team (and leads it on 2nd position for example). That sucks! Because this is something I cannot change - there is an admin role, to prevent this game for drifting into an unfair game. Not humilating the other team, in ignoring the situation on the server.
I understand admins also want to play and enjoy their time, they cannot shuffle every minute - I fully agree. But if the admin is not interested, the game is a waste of time for half of the players on the server. But maybe the problem is also that most people are members, not admins. So they are not "interested" in the admin role at all, they also "just" wanna play. Anyway, for today I have had enough ET.
Enjoy the weekend at home!
