Rush Crush, UK Mac - id say stay out of this, you weren't there and you are just taking the side of some 'edited' video. At least get the full facts before coming in and waving your willys around. Anyway on topic, I was the player that survived this attempt.... let me begin by saying there is no admin abuse on the server, infact we have died 10s of times since having it up, even to blatant cheaters in the past and just started again and licked our wounds and got on with it. Experience taught us that cheaters could be stopped, but ill get on to that later. Lets start from the beginning, one of the server admins invited these guys to our server on a friendly basis... said we would let them setup a base there and even put together the GAZ for them, yes thats right we collected the materials and got the car running to hand over to them in Cherno. They knew this before joining, well im sure they knew they were getting a vehicle. Now onto the scenario above, me and another player were happily driving along in our lorry (URAL or whatever its called) and then the game glitched, the truck the size of that got stuck on a random leaf, you probably had that and yes its annoying, you put in the effort to get it running, fill it with goods and then the game bugs out and the front wheels are wrecked by a leaf. OK we thought fair enough game sucks, but get on with it. Then we had contact initially we knew it was trouble as these guys obviously had tracked us so were where in the disadvantage but as ive said before we have gone through this previously and come off worse and just get on with it. Then our other admin joins and says, these guys are friendly they are the ones we invited in... so we relaxed off and bang one of us went down. Now we were a little miffed, but given the benefit of the doubt we assumed that they didnt know we were the guys who were going to help them out to start off (OK im not saying forever there wouldnt have been combat between us, but initially we were prepared to hold arms and help them setup with a car etc) Anyway, so im left and this is where things get iffy, and the full video is not actually shown... I get tracked through the woods and im talking they cant see me (as they show in some parts of this video) but my path is followed exactly by one of the players... now im not going to state categorically that they used a cheat ie Dayz Navigator BUT having experienced cheaters, abusers, glitchers etc you are naturally suspicious when something like this happens. Remember im on the end of a stalking and I go along way from the truck, circling round etc and all the time my path is tracked to a tee' At this point we send out a admin message, no response...our other admin says he can try to talk to you, so you yes you are kicked. You rejoin, we try again with a message, this time im tracked and hit and yes its annoying... but we have 2 options - 1st is we have 2 guys coming up behind 1 guy who we 'believed' was using the tracking system (be it dayz navigator etc) so we could have killed and probably got the other one. 2nd is we message again but no response and based on what we believed was going on we decided that a kick/ban was the only way to go. Rightly or wrongly its for us to decide, not randoms on the forum - none of their business, the OP yes im glad you posted this, your video looks good for you and watching it objectively part of me thinks we came to the wrong conclusion but we didnt have that evidence to hand at the time and all we had was the offer to you of admin chat and the posting of our TS server. As for the server itself, moan, groan, kill it, bin it - do whatever, we have parted ways with one of the admins and have decided to move to a UK/EU setup as this is where we are based. Unfortunately he is the one who can check the scripts etc and can see who is cheating, we dont ahve that control so relied on information and have decided that this is not good enough for us as the 2 you contacted me and the other player, are experienced gamers and are fair (although you might not think it) we just have had alot of griefers on the server and as I say we had to use our judgement on this one, with some evidence that we can muster and believe me it was a absolute last resort that you guys were kicked and banned (your video lasts for 15 mins or so) the actual scenario must have gone on for 30mins, so its not like we insta kick and insta ban... IF we were like that, the minute you killed our first man you would have been banned, you weren't as we wanted a fair combat and we wanted you guys to be a part of the server community. So apologies to you and your mate, try and see our view of things, its hard to explain unless you are in that situation as admins but believe me when I state if we didnt have info to suggest or believe something dodgy was going on (and again let me reiterate im not calling you cheaters, we could have acted overly suspicious as people do sometimes.. its called being human) then you couldh ave had that truck and rode off into the sunset with it and we would have even given you the GAZ as well as there are no grudges held. As I say feel free to play in the server, its likely to die off at the end of its 30 day term anyhow as we want more control and hopefully that means scenarios like this wont crop up again.
