Admin Trolling

[simfreek@hotmail.com 48]

I used to admin a server for a good amount on "months". The owner of the server decided to go private hive with it. I was all for the plan. We were doing the Taviana Map at the time, and the members of the server stayed with us after we moved from public Cherno. During a 2 hour block, we were implementing a number of scripts into the Code. At the time of the this story, we had just activated the code to allow the V22's and the mi8s to lift cars. We were trying to get the code to work with the 130s as well but never could.

Any ways, we had told people don't plan any thing to big during this time as we will be doing server resets. The server owner and I were in a seporate TS channel at the time, so we were discussing what changes we were trying to make and if they were working. As both his character and mine were at the airfield on the west island with a 130 and a HMMVE. I was watching the player location map on my second screen when the server owner had put a message up to all in red text saying the server would be shut down in a few minutes. At this point I informed the owner that one of our server locals had just jumped into a bi plane, according to the tracking map at least. So we both had agreed to wait to restart it once he landed.

At this point, I typed up a message, which looked identical to the server restart message. The server host we were using would give you a 60 second warning before it actuly reset, when you pressed the reset button. So now, the message looked like it was a lagit message and that you had 60 seconds or you were SOL. At this point, the owner of the server and I switched channels so we could talk to the rest of the server players in the teamspeak. As soon as we did we heard. "sliped my mind they were still updating code, and I'm already air born over the ocean... ****"

So during this "minute" of shut down window, he had punched the throttle to full and was doing the best he could to land it on a run way. When he did finaly get it on the ground, cussing the entire time on TS, he was like "YES I MADE IT, I AM STILL ALIVE... Sure its a broken leg as I jumped out while it was still moving fast on the ground but I'm still alive." At that point, I started playing the infamus Troll Music over TS. Every one, including the guy I just trolled busted out in laughter.

Riding in something when the server resets is a risky thing. When you log back in, you will be on the ground. This creats some exploits, but besides that. If the car hasn't moved and you log back in, you will be under the car when you log back in. Broken limbs, being knocked out and bleeding. Or if you are traveling the vehicle and be who knows where you out in the middle of no where.

In this story, they guy was already 5k out at sea. If the server would have reset, he would have had to swing 5k, at 2 kmp. If you do the math, that is 2.5 hours of swimming. Death by thirst/hunger/freezing. When he was over land he still had a risk of being shut off and then logging in ontop of a building that has no way off of it when he went over one of the largest cities in the game. When a server reset happans, you never want to be in a vehicle at that time. Sure, the guy could have ejected, as soon as he got over land, but at that time, he was to worried about getting on the ground to think about ejecting.

What a anticlimactic story.

The only thing I have to add to this is that I hate servers without an !uptime option or a warning before restart... one restarted and killed me while I was in my car. I was mad.

I lost a chopper because of that.
