Excerpt from reply to disgruntled customer

"After I said I didnt appreciate camping u signified
That you were going to continue
At least "Bite me" is not an indicator of a compliance
What got ruined was the whole game. Mine and yours
It was very competitive and I was even thinking that you might be a cool dude
After all Xxxxxx Xxx is a cool name but the name dont make the man
When you got the next three goals by cheating it wasn't cool
You wanna camp go to the public servers
They are free to everyone
Or better yet build your own 2nd computer and dedicate your own server
Call it "Campers Only Welcome Here!!!"
Where you can let others do 99% of the work and you get all the glory
Red Eyed Rooster
oh btw!
Losing doesn't hurt me - its a fact of life
Winning doesn't make me a better person
But Cheating - cheating pisses me off

Nice Post

Roooooooo

I have a dream..
I envision a server filled with campers all gathered around the goal.
The scrum bouncing idle way off in the distance, as they fight viciously over control of the goal.
The game ends and nobody scores.
They all type out in unison, "I AM THE WINNER!"

LOL, MAX-CR

How about a nice game of "keep it far away from the campers"? I'd rather see them sit there rotting than bring them the scrum. I don't mind someone stealing it, but at least have the cajones to get out there and mix it up.

I like to attack campers on site, but usually only invites a whole game of "BM". So what I propose is all those in the game who are ticked off like I get when they see that 'Ol familiar "dot" in the middle of the goal on the radar, is to simultaniously rush the bum off the edge of the cliff again and again until he either changes tune, or leaves. I personally am going to try and see if I can't set up a nice "Anti-Camper" code some day and then the lazy bum will get one warning before the boot. If there's any sass, then he's gone period!! ;)

I don't mod yet, but it seems to me that a time limit could be set for the area near the goal. Stay too long, you're toast. May have effects on the mob scene near the goal, though

Scavengers always adapt to their environment.

This was done 3 decades ago (in PlanetThinkTanks time) by -z-. There used to be an indie scrum server running his anti-camper mod. It was a fire/smog-like effect around the goal. If you lingered, you're tank went bye-bye. As you note though, it does have a somewhat negative effect on the game though, since goal fights can get hard to do.

I gots an idea...

When people camp just bring the ball all the way across the map. The campers will rot.

You know campers aren't really camper if there ain't any had working players who bring the scrum to the goal. Campers are like parasites. They feed off the living for their own good. So what I am saying here is that if there weren't any players who bring the scrum over to the goal, the camper will eventually rot and give up.

So why camp? Your just wasting your fun time.

So one player takes the scrum far off, the others rush the camper and push them off the map. Could be pretty fun...

Better idea: Each player has "goal time" that gets incremented whenever they're within some distance of the goal. 15 seconds, and auto-kick (not ban). They leave for 10 seconds, and it gets zeroed.

LOL, I like LGM's idea! But all fun aside, I think DJW's idea should be implimented immedately!! Is there an "Anti-Camping" code of some kind some where?? 8o

It sure would be a great feature. It could be DJW's idea, my earlier idea, or something else that works, but it would be great to have that.

(Or I saw jump pads in goals on a map earlier, too. You couldn't see them, but when you drove through the goal, boing! Set them to really pop them WAAAAY UP!)

Here's one. I hate how when u have the crowd behind ya and that one camper in front of u and you're panting to the goal. What to do? The whole crowd in unison ignores the poor guy in front w/the scrum, and just nail the freeloader at the goal. Now would'nt that be fun?? ;)

I was mistaken for a camper once only because I wanted to take some good goal pics with my new scrumgoal skin I was killed repeatedly without warning until after I was killed. I told him to stop because I was just taking pictures, he replied with a rude remark and continued the pointless killing. I do not have the observer script so I can't take pics that way, for some reason my computer won't take the scripts and put them into the game. Just to tell all of you, make sure you know the crime before you prosecute him/her for it.

Yeah, and there's always when a guy will regenerate right on top of the goal, but I'm talkin when a guy will actually STEAL the scrum away. That is obvious "CAMPING", and to be dealt with. I realize that there are always "cowboys" out there that don't need an excuse to nail someone. They should be dealt with too.

BURN THE WITCH!

There Cannot!! Be an anti camper Mod or Script... I know myself through lots of scrum, wither indie or Teamed that theres always goal fights that last a very long time.. If you make the time limit one the people defending will get kicked even if they are not camping. So this cant be done.. Well it can but it will be pointless

What ever happened to the anti-camper server? It had fire and all near the goal so no one could camp and you had a heat shield and it was cool...

An anticamper server!? O_O This I GOTTA see! XD I want to play in that one ;) No more annoying campies...
