Title: FAIR DINKUM GAMERS - Aussie Server
Post by: FDG Stitch on Monday, February 06, 2012, 23:07:34 PM: Aussie server up and running, it rotates maps at the moment but that will probably change in the next day or so.

Look for FAIR DINKUM GAMERS -=[FDG]=-

Our FDG Friday Fight Nights are still on and running on 2.5.

Starts around 8PM Sydney time and goes till the early hours of Saturday morning.

Format:
8 Missions of 6 mins then a map change, those in TS get map request preference.
The 6 minute missions creates a fast game and messes with those that are always pitching tents.

Depending on who and how many are in the server we may do 2 sets of 8 missions on a certain map.

Cheers guys and Thanks again for all your work.

Good server, even though i have 97 ping in there :D

lol 97 is good.. I've had to put up with 400 pings until now. I wish the OS servers would start running of data centers instead of home connections. There are a few but they seam to be empty.

Now we have an server that most of the World will be able to play without too many problems.

Well done Guys.

Post by: Spanky on Tuesday, February 07, 2012, 13:19:37 PM: It's not all about ping. Bad packet loss or high jitter means that your ping could jump higher without visibly raising. For example, if you have packet loss and the packets you're sending get lost, you have to send them again which doubles your ping or perhaps quadruples your ping if you count send and receive. I'm not much of an expert on network communication but I do know these things factor in.
Title: Re: FAIR DINKUM GAMERS - Aussie Server
Post by: Jonnym on Tuesday, February 07, 2012, 13:31:15 PM: yeah that sounds like packet loss to me...
You see AA uses UDP/ip whereas most network system use TCP/ip. udp has no re-transmission, error checking, ordering or connection control. Its just lightening fast fire out and forget packets of data and hope they get to the other end. Problem is when you have unreliable connections or wireless systems and packets get lost are not replaced and big chunks of data are then missing and you warp.
In a wireless network connection something as simple of switching on or off a light switch will generate a spike of impulsive electromagnetic interference for a millisecond that kills a load of packets on your wireless network, the network then takes a few more milliseconds to recover from this event and you end up losing a couple of seconds of data. This is not a problem for the more reliable method of TCP/IP which everything else on the web uses becuase this system checks for errors and re-transmits missing data. Fixed point-point wireless systems (microwave radio links) are not prone to this sort of problem becuase they only pickup signals within their line of site but could be affected in a similar way by rain, snow etc.
Don't know if that helps a little. Don't use mobile multi-point broadcast wireless I guess is the theme of this lecture.

can we say naughty words in your server?

Why don't you try it when an admin is on and find out !!!!!

You obviously already know our rules, or you would not have asked the question...

That's all that has to be said really. Don't like the rules? Don't play in the server. Pretty simple.

Post by: BlueBlaster on Sunday, February 12, 2012, 15:52:25 PM: Actually, according to the ESRB, once a game has online content where players interact it becomes rated M.

You are going to kick people for swearing from a small community. Ok.

Yes we will. we allways have, even when the AA2 community wasnt so small.
We pay for the server , we make the rules... as said... if you dont like the rules, dont play on our server.

The server lists the rules, and it is open to anyone who wants to play and follow those rules.
Any of our admins is also bound by those rules. I personally have had a ban put on me for breaking them
YES, -=[FDG]=- will punish its own if they break the rules.

The rules are fairly simple, dont swear or abuse other pl;ayers via console. we have no control over what you say to anyone when you are yelling at them whilst sitting at your computer, but if you are going to go to the trouble of actually bringing up the console and typing it ...........you might want to consider what you type before hitting "enter"

And if you dont like these rules, please feel free to play on a server someone else is paying for and has set rules that you do like. winging about us paying for a server and making rules that you dont like ??
WTF is that, just go rent you own server.............and play with all your friends, cause thats what we are doing and our friends play by our rules.

OFC if you are banned from our server, you can allways apply for your ban to be lifted , on our website, or you could post on sites like this, having a go at us.... which will obviously make me more inclined to vote for your ban to be removed on the server that I pay for........mmmmmmmmmmmm nahhhhhh

Sorry buddy wrong approach all together.

i agree with the whole 'admins pay, admins make the rules, thats cool n all, but umm, 1 question? Your against people typing/saying swear words in the game of aao, but its ok to use abbreviations for swear words in an aao forum? and no, im personally not offended by swearing, just thought that made you look a lil hypocritical.
Title: Re: FAIR DINKUM GAMERS - Aussie Server
Post by: thren on Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 03:02:00 AM: true and point taken,

But, when I log into these forums I do not get, accross the middle of the screen a message saying

"swearing and abuseing other players will not be tolerated"

Thats what you get when you log into our server.

also "WTF" would not get you banned on our server unless you spammed it.

also, we dont insta bann, we warn first, ignor an admins warning at your own peril,,,,
now the OP only has 1 of 2 servers in our country to play on, which I think is whats upsetting him more.

There's only 1 server in Australia, I shut mine down as it has limitations and I won't run a server that will lag people..

As for the rules - People get over it, Its along the same lines as things like early nades rules. You do it once you are warned do it again and your banned simple.

Rules are Rules deal with them or go else where. This is no different so I don't see why people are even questioning this. Personally I think this has more merit than early nades which is part of the game play, abusing and swearing at people in console is not no matter how it is done...
Title: Re: FAIR DINKUM GAMERS - Aussie Server
Post by: Koden on Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 14:19:22 PM: I guess the low amount of servers placed at a closed enough distance is one more reason to behave agreeing to the server rules...but i see this is being overtalked, is there really anything else you would say about the argument, i find the point to be really clear (and from my humble point of view i don't see how swearing is going to be needed when playing...it's not really going to be a huge cut at everyone's freedom of speech but just a common practice that makes sense).
Title: Re: FAIR DINKUM GAMERS - Aussie Server
Post by: FDG Stitch on Thursday, February 16, 2012, 06:24:40 AM: Thanks Koden.

It would be great to get this post back on topic, for -=[FDG]=- members and others, (Thanks Cat, Spanky and Johnny) to have to come in here and defend our rules is a shame.
This is a game and meant to be fun, please do not spoil it for others.
Shit poo and bum are allowed ;D but not be abused or spammed.
The use of phonetics is tolerated but also not to be abused.
If you use this game as some sort of aggression outlet, consider playing somewhere else.
I personally laugh every time I die, as I know I have done something stoopid, or just walked into a camp ground.
As I said before, when we relaxed the swearing rule a while back it just seemed to open the door for players to abuse others, so, the swearing rule was re-instated.
On another note: please do not enter and complain about lag, if you have a 3000 ping it aint our fault, it's yours, for joining an Aussie server, or stop downloading that midget porn... ;D
Let's leave it there, and get back on topic.

PUBLIC AUSSIE SERVER.....

-=[FDG]=- FRIDAY FIGHT NIGHT !!!! Starts around 8PM Sydney time
8X6 minute missions makes for fast gameplay and DOES NOT promote camping, even though on some maps to camp is the only way when on DEF.
Multiple map changes and lots of fun.

Known players allowed in our TS. (Use your game name)
If you are not known, register in our forums to remedy this. (Again, use your head, rego with your game name, preferably NOT a smurf account name)

NOTE:
The swearing rule does not apply in TS, but the abuse rule stands always.
This is not hypocritical, just the way it has always been.
We are mostly quite inebriated in TS :o, so if you want quiet while you play, re think your decision in joining our TS.

Cheers
