22nd Siege Server - little announcement about some changes

[Ozwan]

Hai.
After some internal debate we've decided to give reflective friendly fire a go. As you probably all know teamwounders are a huge issue and there isnt any way to effectively deal with it except for this setting. We believe its better out of two evils and will test it. So from tomorrow morning watch your swings and I think you will want not to shoot into melee.
That also means that I wont be able to ban several trolling spawn-teamkillers every time I enter the server what makes me utterly unhappy but heck.

This thread is here for you guys to submit some input, your opinions, suggestions and stuff.

PS. No, do not post unban requests here. Post them there.

Hi Ozwan !

As a regular player on the 22nd Siege Server - and by the way I thank the 22nd for all the work done when online and thank you for providing us such an entertainement every night after long days of work - maybe I can permit myself to react to this decision.

Of course the teamdamaging, TKing and badacting players are harassing, but the teamreflecting maybe does not reenact the "truth".

I mean collateral damages always existed, even in the ancient period of blades, blunt and archery weapons.

Strange that no player answered yet, but I saw many people on the server who were not favorable to this situation and were complaining about it.

Of course, my opinion is not the general one, and my answer is - as you've wrotten - made to discuss.

At least when friendly fire was on, and when you were making an error hurting or killing a teammate, we can know right after if it was intentional and volunteer. And after all, even if its weird that Iam admitting it, team wounding and TKing on a meelee (especially in Siege mode) can happen. Even if we are very annoyed to be TKed (accidentaly) that makes part of the game, that makes part of the reality.

The most important is to know which teammate you've wounded or killed, and tell sorry immediatly. We mainly know which kinda player come to the 22nd Server now, though many troubleshooters and badacting players are acting... but we can manage with them with the help of 22nd admin, and between honest players too.

To shrink all my explanations and my thinks, when you are a good players, well intentionned one, and that you've accidentally wounded / killed a teammate, the things go well. But now with friendly fire OFF and team relecfting on, a sort of deception is happening. That's just my thoughs.

Cya on fields mates !

Best regards.
Christophe.
