Also during the summer 2015 one banned player ( Pit-23 ) showed up to forum as
ciuralla posting all kind of shit. Not just trolling and a lot of shitty behaviour, he also threatened people via pm's with real life shit. He sent some serious shit for example to Merlin. Those who doesn't know Pit's history I'll quote one post from another area:
Pit? Such a long story, i think i only know part of it. Pit also took over the Assist from Jonny for a few months back in 2012 (during summer until autumn i think). Then he left, and started playing much like a wannabe Robin Hood, or supposedly so (catching cheaters, or wannabe rather), using his own cheats and easily out-doing Assist safety measures. He was banned and unbanned several times (both ingame and on the forums). He keeps coming back once every few months, under different accounts...

In the beginning of fall 2015 I was taken in group called Respected Members here in forum. Other active members of the group were Merlin, Ganja, Koden and Admins. I ended up to the group after sort of drama between watnc and seke, we found out how to use kind of no-recoil bug in the game and one drunken Friday one thing led to another and all the watnc players got banned from our server because couple of our players were so sure that couple of them were using the bug. Clan mates started to back up each other and it went all messy. I spent hours with Ganja to solve the shit and due to the bug we found and to get things clear I was taken in to the group. Then I found out that I was being suggested into the group already in May 2015 by Spanky, but I wasn't taken in because I was being suspected of mouse macro usage. They didn't find what macro I'd be using, but my mouse kept causing violations to the logs due to amount of clicks per second being too high. I never got any information of this until I read about it myself. It was my Logitech MX Revolution II mouse that had broken micro switch, it was painful to use since one click might cause three or even four clicks. Just imagine what it was to use photoshop with it.. In game I never noticed any difference with it, when shooting single shots I always got only one even though the broken micro switch might have done several clicks. I promised to buy a new mouse but it took some time for me to get one. Now I have another Logitech mouse and I shouldn't be causing any more violations in this matter
Also the no-recoil bug got removed and I know at least one player who admitted the usage of it himself left after the bug was removed.
On the very same fall Wickid had already made me as player admin at his IGC server. That time returned one old player called BernardKrusovlce to the game. He didn't want to talk about who he was, he stated he used to play the game years backwards, yet he knew everything what was going on. I remember helping him to enter with 10 honour account IGC server which had higher honor limit than most of servers. Within five days it was already clear that he was Pit - the banned player. This time he was let to play since there was no way to keep him out. He got one more chance to show he is able to work as a part of this community. He created another account with another PC and played with both, guess mainly with the newer sniper-314 account. While time passed he started to show his nature.
In October we came up with
scrim event that took it's place in Friday and Saturday evenings. Our main idea was to wake up the scrim culture in here to make this game more interesting to play, people would stay and old players might come back. The event didn't work out well, the meaning of it was to play with mixed teams but it always went into clans playing against each other
In November when Big Clan Day died we started a thread in Respected Members forum to figure out what should we now do, this game needs such an event - it was a real shame that BCD went down like that, people play only couple of maps and when they get bored they will leave the game, that's why an event introducing other maps there are was needed. We started to plan new event because Vanoke said it's all done, he's not going to return with BCD. Merlin still wanted us to give some time for Vanoke if he'd rethink his decision. We waited like Merlin wanted us to do, then went ahead with the planning process. We remade the concept, we still had four maps and we still play both sides, but that was all the common these events had. New event got named by accident as
Mapstravaganza and we planned to start playing different themes instead of just having four different map every week. In this event it didn't matter if the same map was played several times during a month, as long as it fits into the played theme. Also this event didn't have any time based map / side switch, we played 8 rounds in both sides and then switch the map - that way everyone is able to see the both sides of the map. Before we managed to launch the first event of Mapstravaganza, Merlin - as one of the Respected Members group - suddenly launched his own event called Big Party After and at start let others to understand we're just trying to copy Vanoke and him. That was quite a backstab since we thought he was planning the new event with us and from middle of nowhere he comes up with own event which was placed to be at the same time as this one. That thread should be published in General Chat imo for everyone to see how things really have gone.
Let's go back to Pit. After Terrorists attacked to Paris in November Pit started to show the racist side of him. Each muslim he knew from the community got their part of his hate, he followed them to servers and everyone had to face the shit, some people even joined it. In December Mia started to play the game and it didn't take long that she and Pit became friends.
At the end of last year we were working on to get people back to this game. There are ways to try to contact enormous amount of old players but at this point there is no point in calling old players to return.
During fall I was given admin rights in official teamspeak server: ts.aao25.com. On one Sunday evening in December it got hacked. Ganja was the first one to notice it and asked if we can do something for it. Well it turned out even though we had high privileges over there they weren't high enough, so we had to contact admins and before they are able to show up we had to try to keep the situation somehow in control. When Nick noticed our message he joined and started solving the issue. The whole server needed to be totally rebuilt and we spent hours with Nick and Ganja to build it up again.
During that time Scorpy had already made me as playeradmin at his server. In January 2016 we started the first
Scrim Tournament ( of my history in this game ). Nick provided us two servers for tournament use, he also provided already in December a server for Mapstravaganza. That time Vortexservers had still servers in stable network in Netherlands, so there was also a prize for the event winners; they were about to have one server for one month for free from Vortex. Somewhere in February Vortex had to take their datacenter away from Netherlands since the company running the network was all the time under huge connection issues. We had no longer Mapstravaganza server, no longer scrim servers, no longer Seurahuone server in Netherlands nor IGC, no longer any prize for the winner of first scrim cup, which Team Poland won after finals against watnc. Glad that they understood well the situation that we have no one giving the server in Europe, if they want to they can have one for one month from NA, but it would be useless. Glad that everyone taking a part in scrim tournament understood the shitty situation, outside of the tournament haters kept hating. For example Voras kept saying I would have came up with a lie of prize which we never had. After we had no longer these servers in Europe we had a lot of brainstorming what to do, scrim tournament matches needed to be played, Mapstravaganza couldn't be let to die because of lack of servers etc. At this point Scorpy showed up to be priceless help, he offered his server for Mapstravaganza use and couple of times he let us to use his server in Scrim Tournament as well. Thank you Scorpy for all your help
So while Vortex still had servers at Europe, I was playeradmin in our own servers, in BIG server, still in IGC and also in Official servers - so I was administrating over 10 servers at that time. Why? I was active player, I can be around and can take action into things if needed. This is also one reason why people hate me. Bow to one and you'll bend over to another. Almost every time we play together with our clanmates we get accused of ghosting. That's why we usually play in servers that we can administrate, so we can swap ourselves to play in same team. Then if someone still bothers to cry about ghosting he can look at the mirror. This is two sided coin though, seen people complaining us playing on same team which makes the team stronger. Can't please everyone... Every time people needs to be swapped from team to team let's say for example when same clan needs to be taken to play at same side, I always choose the most logical way to do it. Which is either uniting other clan / ts group at the same time or choosing the one who had joined last to server. Voras is still bitter to me because I once swapped him to play at same team with his clan mate, while I was uniting our clan into same team. It happened in Hospital ( BIG server I guess ), the most of our clan were in Escort an Devil was in Ambush, Voras was playing in =PUF= clan and he was the last one in Escort team who had joined to server, while his clan mate was playing in Ambush. So there were two logical reasons to swap him over to Devil to unite clans playing at same sides. What happened? He is still all against me only because of this swap. Look at the shouts above,
"it is not about the swap.. it is about too much things. for exemple the big clan day, who was the game of all of us .. you destroy it with your coments". If it's not about the swap, why the need to badmouth me and try to get me failing? There are few others as well who like to speak me bossing around at servers. Well one of them was once swapped into another team and couple of them were banned because of intentional teamkilling. And just to let you know I'm not sure what the reason at the end was but Voras was about to leave PUF clan because of he being swapped because of the tags.
