Hi folks,
|
||||
|
||||
| HAAHahA FIRST COMMENT!!!!! SO FKN EZ!!!!!! OWNED HAHAHAHA!!!! | ||||
|
||||
| get a life B< | ||||
|
||||
| pls delete Hagge user:) | ||||
|
||||
| ezquake ? :F | ||||
|
||||
| sr seeded #2 ? :) | ||||
|
||||
|
Just a question to the crew: are Pir8s (div1a) and Gatugeng (div1b) going to be allowed to play with those nicknames? Is fakenicking suddenly allowed in this NQR season or what? From the rules: "Fakenicking! No fakenicking/aliasing will be tolerated. Please respect the league and the other participants by using your respective nicks. If we see this: FIRST time we will give you a warning. Second time, the player in question will be a subject to recieving harsh penalties such as a timed kick/ban or a permanent kick/ban from the NQR League. If a player on the scoreboard is not listed in the members list his frags will ofcourse not be counted. Don't ask admins to add scores of players in your team that were using fakenick during games." |
||||
|
||||
|
Xhrl, why don't you ask those Q's in the nqr crew channel on irc instead? Since you are still a NQR admin? |
||||
|
||||
|
We are going to go through alot of issues regarding rules this week, that beeing one of them. Would be nice if you could attend aswell, i haven't seen you write 1 word on IRC for a long time. |
||||
|
||||
|
legio: xtr faking as xhrl or what? :) |
||||
|
||||
|
xtr: note "If a player on the scoreboard is not listed in the members list his frags will ofcourse not be counted" If you list the nick, it's GOGOGOGOGO! |
||||
|
||||
|
It's not that strange seeding SR second, as they have half a lineup new. And if you've watched servu-spam you'd notice they don't seem to have gotten really much practice with this brand new team. Pir8s, on the other hand... is still the same players who've played with eachother for a very long time, and skillwise, they're probably even better than sr. So I think the seedings are all well. |
||||
|
||||
| im so horny | ||||
|
||||
| It?s not unusual to be loved by anyone | ||||
|
||||
| gg btw | ||||
|
||||
| I'm surprised we even got seeded #2 and not like 5 or 6. | ||||
|
||||
| Don't think that's xhrl Legio, the name kinda gives it away :D | ||||
|
||||
|
This is fucked up, instead of getting to play ALL clans on same level, we get only half, because of some fucked up league-system who puts 20 clans on the same level. It's not div-system anymore. Every season NQR moves closer and closer to SD. 5 maps and groupplay. That was my whine of the day. |
||||
|
||||
|
any way of seeing which clans got seeded and which didnt, would be interesting to see who are considered the favorites in one's div, if you dont know any clans at all :) |
||||
|
||||
| I think that might cause more problems than it solves... | ||||
|
||||
|
fair enough :) some clans then surely would be upset, but then again seedings usually aren't secret. |
||||
|
||||
| good whine link. looking forward to next days whine. | ||||
|
||||
| Hm... i think its more strange with gatan, having only 3 players!? | ||||
|
||||
|
And what it this? Discipline This clan has been well-behaved! ??? |
||||
|
||||
| btw div4b is lacking a week10 in the fixtures:o | ||||
|
||||
| sr still are favourites! | ||||
|
||||
|
Hangman: if clans are naughty, we will be putting warnings on there, e.g. warning, reason: fakenicking, and then after a certain number of warnings we will hand out "other" punishments :E (we are still to confirm the details of this!) |
||||
|
||||
|
son: there are only 9 weeks of play no matter how many clans there are in a conference. some weeks have 2 scheduled games while most have 1. |
||||
|
||||
| \0/ fragomatics \0/ | ||||
|
||||
| \o/ | ||||
|
||||
| out of curiosity: where can i find out what those seedings look like? | ||||
|
||||
|
XTR : I have played more pracs with this nickname last 6 months than with any other nick. So why not. Do you have to be noob to stay unknown????! |
||||
|
||||
| allow ezquake.................. | ||||
|
||||
| lol \o/ :) nice ... | ||||
|
||||
| sluta lipa link och ?t din gr?t :| | ||||
|
||||
| jag ?r kung. ni suger. sluta lipa nu :< | ||||
|
||||
|
hey wtf? no swedish clans i our div? just a bunch a baltic high pinging d00ds! cant you squeeze us into conf A?! |
||||
|
||||
|
son, I can only assume... but here are some of what I think are the seedings. (how I'd seed) 1. Pir8s 2. Slackers 3. Clan MalFunction 4. Firing Squad |
||||
|
||||
| that was div1 of course... I dunno shit about the others :) | ||||
|
||||
|
well since gaz is writing up some coverage for all divisions, you can kind of guess which clans were seeded in each div judging from his comments on the clans :) |
||||
|
||||
|
Angua is spot on there :) son: The seedings were done by all the admins, not just me. My personal opinions don't necessarily reflect the seedings ;) |
||||
|
||||
|
Ehum *cough* Very sorry Xhrl i was quite tired when i wrote that. My apologizes(spell?). Hehe really sorry man :). |
||||
|
||||
|
Folks, please understand that all decisions that are beeing made about NQR is not the doing of 1 man only (Gaz). It is the decision of the entire NQR Crew, Gaz is our public relations guy, so he will allways be seen doing more News post's and stuff like that. But he will never ever do any decision by his own, all decisions made by us, have been discussed for many hours, before we reach a decision. |
||||
|
||||
|
bOi-hOe aka El_Hefe aka Philthy_Phil aka Casper aka Vladde: rofl, I hope you're kidding. Please don't give me any of this "can't I change my nick??" bullshit. You're changing your nick for every week now. Angua: where does it say that? The only thing that I can see is that your frags won't be counted if you don't use your real nick. What's the fucking point in not playing with your real nick (the one the scene knows you by, that you're using on IRC etc.)? Show some respect to the league and the other players participating ffs. |
||||
|
||||
|
And now "The Celebs" have started using fakenicks too :( You should fix it so that players can't rename themselves and the clanname after they have signed up. This community is really retarded nowadays. |
||||
|
||||
|
whats so retarded with using an artist name? =) As long as u write the most known name in the roster I think u can use whatevernick/artistname u like. Thats hardly retarded, but a bit creative imo. |
||||
|
||||
|
Yeah, it's real creative when you're trying to keep track of 800 players in a league. It's only extra work for the admins and confusion for the opponents, but I guess that's the nick changers goal. |
||||
|
||||
| i agree with xtr, max rebo etc on this one. sheesh people, grow up already? | ||||
|
||||
|
1. cmf 2. la 3. gtg 4. sr 5. fs my top5 |
||||
|
||||
|
Yea, it's soooo immature, about as immature as whining about it, checking up rules and stuff just because some people prefer to stick with a theme-nick to their clan. Xtr, whoever you might be, do you even play quake? anyways... nickchanges aren't regulated... can't see that anywhere in the rules. That way you can sign up with whatever name you might want, and it's NOT fakenicking. If you on the other hand sign up as for example Angua, and go by the name Esmeralda Weatherwax, I'd count it as fakenicking. Further on... osams - (OMG NOT THE CELEBS!!) used "different" nicks last nqr. Didn't hear any whine by then. Still, no one except the commentator knew what their real nicks were, did we care? No, because it's not the "celebs" sheeesh.. face it, some people are better than other... but don't give the better players more crap just because of that. |
||||
|
||||
| and by "celebs" i mean celebs, and not the clan celebs | ||||
|
||||
| Horatio: It's just the swedes who do it, not the whole scene. | ||||
|
||||
| You mean you've never seen a finnish player fakenick, wake up menthol :) | ||||
|
||||
| not in nqr. | ||||
|
||||
|
Some admin with very high IQ tolled me that LA wasnt fakenicking, coz it was "Pirat-themed" :) Well guess what, we are now "Celeb-themed". I wanna thank the admins for clearing that one out, these artist-names are REALLY cool! GO GO GO! |
||||
|
||||
| I am waiting for whine of the day link. | ||||
|
||||
|
Yes Link, I had an IQ of 130 last time I tested, which is pretty good I believe. It helps me in lots of areas of life, such as spelling. I can spell the word "told" without any difficulty :D |
||||
|
||||
|
error: I recommend the Chablis '64. Or is that "wine of the day"? |
||||
|
||||
| these are fun to read :) | ||||
|
||||
| Edit function sucks, I know... | ||||
|
||||
|
This fake nicking bothers me too. I just cant figure why ppl wanna use some "theme"nicks. Why cant we play with original nicks? Would be better for observers too to see who is playing (yes i know the nick is that page, but it sucks when u have to check there everybodys name). Thats all i wanna say :< |
||||
|
||||
|
Regarding the different set of nicks i made an interesting discovery: On ch-tv is a mvd demo of Pir8s playing Gatugeng, all players using funky nicknames. However almost all of the players are using shorthandles dereived from their "real" nicknames. And at one point pirate x says to pirate y in mm2: Riker get out of my way! (or something). I think players should go be the nicknames they are know for by the majority of the community and by which they are called from their teammates. Besides, a themed homepage would be much more funny and would give such a team much more character than some half assed nicknames in the qw client. (please visit some real Pirates! webpages and choose some good nicks, duh) |
||||
|
||||
|
What gives you the right to tell people what nickname they should use. Everyone dont come up with kickass nicknames like XTR and LiB. And whats the big deal just as we are consistent using them and the old nicknames is shown at roster page. |
||||
|
||||
|
Changing the nickname numerous time after using the same for many years just seems disrespectful towards those who got used to it. Because that old man represents *you* on the internet just as much as your real name represents you in real life. |
||||
|
||||
|
damn, what did i type there? "that old name respresents..." is correct. Also, why does pirate x call pirate y "riker" instead of "pirate y" in messagemode2? Well i dont know who you are but in case you are from the other team this just shows something is wrong with changing nicks like that when teammates still use the old nicks among themselves. |
||||
|
||||
|
But hello???? if we cant fakenick at all, then everyone should use their real names you are given upon birth and don?t use these lame online nicknames... Who can say that the nick "angua" for example is less fake than any other of the names a certain player can use? Lets all use our irl names now so theese kids can stop complaining about "theme" nicks and "funny" nicks. I think all of you are wrong to criticise a person for changing his/hers nickname. And specially when you concentrate on blaming "the lame swedes". A BIG BG to all of you kids... |
||||
|
||||
|
And btw Apollyon, to say what is a good or a bad nickname is not possible imo. Thats just a personal choice... (like music, games, cars, soccer teams) It should be good for the porpuse u use the thing wheteer it is a nicknane or something else. And imo themed nicknames/clans are sure fun. |
||||
|
||||
| Apoll I can assure you all people _i know_ knows my new nickname | ||||
|
||||
|
........just remembered why i only look at the comments-section 1 time every season. Cya next season guys. hf. |
||||
|

| sweeper: sm?rrebr?d? | ||||

||||

boi-hoi.yoi i needed to take a look at the NQR roster page to see that you are in fact Vladde. Horatio: i think there is a person behind each nick and usually people chose one nick and use that for the rest of their online career. I am "Apollyon" as much as i am "Mirco". Ia m using this nick everywhere else on the net as well and my clanmates often call me "apo" in real life, too. Heck even my girlfriend started doing that! Many people would be considerably confused if i changed it to "Contex" tomorrow and then to something else in a year. And a bet some would even be annoyed. Because by changing nick on the internet you are also changing your personatility and identity. Not for yourself of course but for all those who know you only be the former nick. I still wonder why that priate guy called the other pirate guy Riker. And why both teams in that demo i watched use shorthandles derived from old nicks. There must be something about those old nicks! |
||||
|
||||
| I really dont think they give a fuck. | ||||
|
||||
|
Is it really Mirco? The original mIRC promoter aus Deutschland. And Horatio, it is mostly us lame Swedes doing the nick changing. |
||||
|
||||
|
Of course they dont give a fuck and since they got away with it before they are doing it for the third time now. |
||||
|
||||
|
The people who give a fuck is a german guy, and other stupid people who needs to have a clean conservative scene even though we're playing a game 8 years old. Why would anyone care if anyone don't know who you are. I for one don't care if you've ever seen me on a server Apollyon. But obviously you have, shame shame, you saw me as Angua, then I guess I have to use it for the rest of my life. You know, I actually used Rincewind in the beginning of my quaking-"career" ... and used it for several years, still, no stupid fuck complained when I changed it to Angua. |
||||
|
||||
| Thanks for insulting me. | ||||
|
||||
|
This nick thingie have grown out of proportion imo. And we in crew are higly responsible for that. Actions will however be taken from our side before league starts. |
||||
|
||||
|
Having a retarded scene like this, with people who switches clans and nicks every week, must seem really fucked up to new players. The players who are doing this ain't any better than the kids in the CS-community. :I |
||||
|
||||
| np Apollyon, anytime. | ||||
|
||||
|
?ke Vader, try asking the "new players" instead, and who are switching clans every week? I can't see anyone. Further on, I don't think there's much that could be worse than making idle-deals (which the kids in the CS-community does(if you didn't know)) |
||||
|
||||
|
gaz - 193.195.82.165 040928 @ Yes Link, I had an IQ of 130 last time I tested, which is pretty good I believe. It helps me in lots of areas of life, such as spelling. I can spell the word "told" without any difficulty :D gaz, just curious because u making jokes about spelling and stuff: what other languages then english do u speak/learned? |
||||
|
||||
|
"?ke Vader, try asking the "new players" instead, and who are switching clans every week? I can't see anyone." Me neither, actually. And that's because i can't figure out if the new player in Flaming Fist/Legeartis/Disorder/Pir8s really is a new player, or an old member of the clan/clans or a player outside the clan who've changed his nick for the 3rd time in a year. "Further on, I don't think there's much that could be worse than making idle-deals (which the kids in the CS-community does(if you didn't know))" I didn't know that as i really don't hang out among the CS-kiddies. But i realize there's a good chance you do. |
||||
|
||||
|
bOi-hOe: I don't care whatever nick you chose, as long as you stick with it and don't change it is as often as you change underwear (because as said earlier it's disrespectful and confusing towards other players and spectators). I had no idea who you were before I looked in the clan list. Horatio: Pretty intelligent argument there, keep it up! I won't even bother to comment on that. Additionally, most of these lamers are in fact "Swedish div1-players". So why the hell can't we blame them?! (I'm Swedish too btw :) Angua: Yeah, I'm still playing Quake occasionally, although not as much as I used to (too tired of all the fakers). But what has that to do with anything? I mostly consider myself an observer and it's sad to see these things happening to QW scene, which is supposed to be "the most mature of them all gaming scenes". Another interesting note is that all these fakers still are using their "real" nicks on IRC etc. If they claim to have changed nick why don't they change it there aswell? |
||||
|
||||
|
Slash: I have a degree in Spanish and French, so I'm fluent in those, plus I'm learning Swedish. Is that enough for you? |
||||
|
||||
| ca va? | ||||
|
||||
|
?ke Vader, try being into the scene, and you will actually see if there is a new player. It's not hard you know. The players have not CHANGED clans, clans have died, and they've formed new ones. Well, ?ke Vader the oracle, if you don't know shit about the CS-scene, why even mention it ? I have played CS, so I know these things go on. So stop talking about stuff you don't know, or don't even WANT to know about. K ? |
||||
|
||||
|
Was just asking Xtr, as I've never seen you on any server at all. And I think people not even playing the game should just stfu. And go back to "observing the game" - be glad we're not putting a limit of 0 of spectators. |
||||
|
||||
| JK: Je vais bien, merci, et toi? :E | ||||
|
||||
|
"Well, ?ke Vader the oracle, if you don't know shit about the CS-scene, why even mention it ? I have played CS, so I know these things go on. So stop talking about stuff you don't know, or don't even WANT to know about. K ?" I know one thing about the CS-scene, and it's that it conscists of people like you, and that's partly what makes it a shitty community. I feel sad that you're about to drag Quakeworld into the same hole as CS atm. |
||||
|
||||
|
you're not fluent in any of the british native languages gaz? I'm disappointed :( like breton, manx or cornish? |
||||
|
||||
|
I can only laugh ?ke Vader... I'm actually speechless... I have played this game for god knows how many years, I've never seen any ?ke vader or "Ake Vader" on any server either. And you tell ME, that YOU are sad that I am about to drag quakeworld into the same hole as CS (which you don't even know anything about) man, I love you. |
||||
|
||||
| xtr, who are you to decide what nick someone should play with? | ||||
|
||||
| Why learn languages that no one speaks? :D | ||||
|
||||
|
Angua, of course you haven't seen me on any server as i've been on a modem connection until now. Despite that i really think i've done more for the community than you have though. |
||||
|
||||
| Besides, i'm dropping this discussion now as nothing good will come out of it. | ||||
|
||||
|
gaz kan ju svenska :) \o/ |
||||
|
||||
|
Angua, why don't you just answer the relevant questions being asked instead of going of on wild tangents? I'll repeat them for you: Why are the people with new nicks still using their old nicks as shortnicks and in say team? Why are the people with new nicks still using their old nicks on irc and on the websites? Change nicks all you want, but when people change only their "front" nick on a qw-server it seems quite probable that it's done only to annoy and obfuscate. It should not be permitted in the only "serious" league we have left. |
||||
|
||||
| obfuscate? :s | ||||
|
||||
|
I thought you were British my dear? :-) http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=obfuscate |
||||
|
||||
|
Yeah, I'm aware that the regular nicks are posted after the "fakes" on the roster. That's well enough, a good minimum requirement. |
||||
|
||||
| pfff go watch some films or drink some beers instead of this gay whine | ||||
|
||||
| Nopes, work tomorrow, bedtime soon, thanks for the suggestions though! | ||||
|
||||
|
Why can't the people use whatever nicks they might like, that I ask you instead. As I have gotten none of those questions you just wrote pointed to me before. I could understand it if the names were like [KKK]Nazi or such. But as they are now, they simply don't do any harm, except some stupid conservative persons think it's childish. None of us div1-lame-fakers uses different nicks because of anyone else, if you think that you really should contemplate over why we're playing the game. It's not because of what the other players(or in this case: observers) think of us. And if it's "well enough" according to you, by having the regular/alternative nicks posted, why the fuck are you still whining ? |
||||
|
||||
|
People can use whatever nicks they want, but they should not change their nicks every few months. As I've stated above, there are 800 odd players for the admins to keep track off, that job includes judging their individual and their clan's skill. This job is a lot harder if there's no name consistency. If the nick changes are kept among "the few and the l33t" this isn't a major problem, but it should be argued against lest it spreads. And about not using these nicks "because of anyone else", come on, I'm not talking about you personally, but generally among those changing nicks there's an attitude of snubbing those in charge of leagues and servers, and then there's Link of course. And I don't whine. |
||||
|
||||
| I got to agree with max rebo on his last point. Link is there of course. | ||||
|
||||
| Where is "there" though? | ||||
|
||||
|
Where ever there is trouble brewing, there is Link. Where ever people argue in the sand box, there is Link. Where ever there is whine, there is Link. Where ever, when ever, who ever, it IS LINK! |
||||
|
||||
|
xtr do you even play quake? in what clan? since noone seems to know who you are you must play very little? So why do you comment on all theese issues? As far as I see it, you are only causing more flaming and whine than helping out. But that?s just my opinion. Spread the love osv |
