[D50] Gaming Clan server - Admin abuse?

[J. Prime 46]

 

Time: 2:15(ish) EST

 

So we were looking for a nice high pop server to flex our guns and have some fun. It was pretty nice, quick load, Overwatch, who could ask for more? I myself prefer a nice hardcore setting but apparently all vehicles reset to full health and fuel on this server and they had map markers enabled. Okay I can still live with that (great load time, frame rates, etc).

 

Then we see some guys in Berenzino at the end of the main road (near the shoreline war houses). Someone ran up to it after driving and it attempted to cut the engine on and lift off. Apparently the pilot died and it went down and exploded (along with the SUV moments after that. I'm guessing it was the proximity to heli?). Didn't see anyone else and there were no shots. One guy was checking the body and suddenly his leg broke and died. Then another player went up to him to grab his gear and/or heal him and then his leg broke and he died within 5 seconds. Okay, maybe someone was REALLLY far off and took a few nice shots at us. Then some chat started working its way in and suddenly I'm in my car approximately 30-40 meters away from everything and I pop out of the car with a unconscious quick meter and die before it ends.

 

I PRESENT TO YOU A SCREENSHOT MY BEAUTIFUL DAYZ PPL:

 

Ppl abused in game and questioning chat: Carlos_Danger, Bakerchuckskiwish

 

Possibly admin in question: Mr. McGhilicuddy

 

 

Now I for one and all for a good fight or anything else along those lines. It's overwatch man. Massive guns are there for a reason. But what the hell?

 

I checked [D50]'s website and Mr. McGhilicuddy is indeed a member, but there wasn't much answers to our questions other than the above related chat.

 

I just wanted to know if this is how [D50] endorses playing, is this a legit admin...

 

My final thoughts on my experience here...avoid this server if you enjoy fair play of any sort whether survivor or bandit.

 

 

 

***I will remove this thread or have it removed if I'm wrong. Who wants faulty advertising when their commander tag says "ALL WELCOME?" Certainly not me.

I don't really think anything can be done as it's a private hive.

[J. Prime 46]

It's more of a warning...

I read the screenshot, already knowing Mr. McGhilicuddy is/was a pain in the ass. Nothing in the logs showed that he was cheating, however, he should have known better than to even hint at being the server admin. I have a busy server and a low tolerance for many things, including impersonating an admin. Thus, based on what I read here, and knowing it is probably legit, Mr. McGhilicuddy was bounced from the server.

I was witness to this. I'm sorry you're server is so poorly run, I can defiantly see how this could be a sore spot with you. No one is blaming you for being angry but perhaps it should be directed at your staff and not players suffering from admin abuse. I can tell by your avatar you put 110% effort into everything you do and maybe you should look at the possibly that if that individual is not staff then perhaps they have those powers by some other means. And regardless of what color our ghillies are we are defiantly going to play on another server, we would just like to make sure no one else needs waste hours looting up and killing players only to get all three of us instakilled seconds after we kill an admin. Cheers

Apparently they got hurt in the butt Baker. And yes, perhaps I posted it with the wrong title? Perhaps Player/Hacker?

 

But this:

I am the only admin on the D50 server. Our website has lists for bandits, longest living survivors, and heros. Nowhere on the website does it list "members". Like most bambis, you came into a notoriously aggressive server and got killed. The fact that you needed to come here and cry certainly speaks volumes about your character and cowardice. It's a pvp server. It says so in the name. If you want to pick daisies and run around in your pink ghillie, play on another server. Don't knock our server, or our players, because you came in and couldn't stomach the violence.

 

clearly shows that this is a server for 12 year olds. Any admin that isn't biased would have said they will investigate it. Or replied back with a log check or something of that nature. But this guy Cool Hand, his reply certainly speaks volumes about his character and cowardice. Did I complain about being shot all over the place? NAH, because that never happened and probably won't on your training server. Maybe he missed the line about taking out a chopper? I know they definitely missed us running up the southern road mopping players clean. Maybe he missed the line about me saying everyone that was involved with the incident suddenly had their legs broken and died all within the same 5 seconds and asking if there was something fishy going on? Maybe he missed me asking to check on this guy Mr. McGhilicuddy, or maybe not...maybe there IS something weird going on and I pulled that card and you can't handle it. Because that response was weaker than my 88 year old grandmother.

 

You know what this sounds like Cool Hand? It sounds like you and your D50's can't play for shit so you needed your own lame ass server to try to boss in. AM I RIGHT? I mean come on? How can you say you guys we cannot stomach the violence when you have the server dumbed down with auto healing all vehicles after restarts, map markers enabled, and strange deaths immediately after we mop the floor with one of your supposed "Bandit players?" Keep it real bro. Come onto a real server and play. Don't run these little fisher price servers with favoritism. Prove me wrong...because I'll have this whole thread removed if you do I promise and won't talk bad about anything on there. I'll even make an apology thread. But I'm willing to bet you're not. I'm willing to bet you won't. SHOW ME SOMETHING BRO. Otherwise go back on your toy server and let the big boys be the big boys. Because WE CREATED THE VIOLENCE when we were there.

 

I'm going old school...cause I got you stuck off the realness with this thread. lulz

LMFAO! You two ladies are just pissed because you were also banned from the server. I'm sure it's no coincidence that you posted this AFTER you tried to get back in multiple times.

 

There is no room on our server for the WEAK. If you can't take it, do what you do; whine in the dayzmod forums.... grab a tissue and try another server.

He is definitely shook. LOL I personally have no such knowledge of trying to get back into the server and I challenge that to the logs. Do you even know where those are? My point is proven. I bid you a good evening noob. :)

Carlos Danger with the tough name and the weak stomach. Every post = more tears on your keyboard... :(

 

Keep talking sweetie, Daddy's listening...

[Statik (DayZ) 2695]

Server gets called out for admin abuse (or so we thought), admin immediately resorts to insulting OP.

[J. Prime 46]

>Server gets called out for possible abuse (of any sort).

>All players experiencing the issue get banned.

I'm not directly involved in this, but maybe you should approach the situation with a little more...maturity and professionalism. The way you're treating players who are concerned about possible, blatant, admin abuse on your server is utterly pathetic.

you should post the log where we attempted to join the server after you "banned" us. or any log other than us calling you out on this and leaving.

 

*Edit* Waiting, giving you enough time to fudge them.

I will defend my server and the players on it. It's a great community of people. These two are claiming admin abuse when that is clearly not the case.

If the above quote is true, why am I still reading posts in this thread?

 Our website has lists for bandits, longest living survivors, and heros. Nowhere on the website does it list "members".

This was also easily located on your website, which could easily lead many players to believe he is in fact an admin on the server.

Then politely tell the OP that it was not admin abuse, and the player was a phony and has been banned. I'm sure he would then happily have the topic removed/locked.

Not sure, I'm on your side. I too think raw unadulterated butthurt is enough to make a point.

Where is the admin abuse? The player that responded "yes" when asked if he was staff has been banned. And these two are NOT my players.

Sorry, let me rephrase that.

Corrections are in red.

Please tell me this is some sort of joke. Do you really believe that every name on the bandit/survivor/hero lists on the server stats page is an admin?

 

A server stats page only lists server admin's stats? Statik, really? Seriously? C'mon...

Because there is a person in your server who claimed to be staff. He said he killed us and this was seconds after he was shot in a chopper about to lift off. You did not address this at all. Instead resorted to insulting us and offering no explanation to who is Mr. McGhilicuddy or some sort of "We checked the logs and there was someone 700 feet away that killed you guys. If you want to talk about it you can message me." That's what admins are for no? I mean, we started off enjoying the server. But then some really shiesty things happened. Aren't you concerned about something like that happening? Are all really welcome? Because if so we wouldn't have been supposedly banned from the server after we died. Because I know baker and I sure as hell didn't come again if we thought there were some sort of hacking or abuse. What would be the point of that?

As an admin you'd think he would have logs that he would post no? Logs that would say HERE LOOK YOU ARE WRONG! But no just silly butthurt replies stalling to buy himself time to fudge up some logs.

No. I don't. But if I was randomly killed on a server, and a player who I can locate on their website claims to be an admin, I'm not going to wave it off, I am going to consider it. That is why I am saying, his name on the website makes it easier to believe the player was possibly an admin.

[Baker. 1484]

Logs?


Maybe he has some logs?


I bet logs would clear all this up
