Fake Admin Warning

How about not using the config.xml for making macros? People wouldn't be able to make those macros anymore.

The rest of the config.xml file is for ingame options; are you suggesting that MAIET disable the macro feature entirely?


In my earlier post, I was asking about a chat log that is saved in a text file (like how you can save IM conversations) but not necessarily reported.

Lawl, Guntrix is really lv52. Was wondering.

And why did he censor his name in the waiting room, we all know it's MaietGuntrix.

If they must, I don't mind, but maybe they could encrypt the config.xml or something?

I support this idea. Macross are either used by newbs (no offnse), vandals, hackers or people who need to stoke their ego all the time.
An avarage, polite and clean player finds them useless anyways.
(What are they for? "OWNED by/..." or "lol noob" are just making the chat less clear and distract players).

That's true, but there are some good/funny macros too (used by respectful players I might add), so I'm sort of divided on this. (I only use them for character actions and for players who don't realize it's 1v1 bow. -_-)

Well, this is how an admin looks like in the game.
I attached some images of me.
If anyone other than an admin that looks like one in the images pretends to be an admin, Guntrix, Venister, or other MAIET Staff, will get banned.
I will also get reports on this one, too.
Currently, there is no one else in MAIET team who connects to IGUNZ except me.
The only MAIET Staff, Administrator, etc.. is Me, Guntrix.
Thanks,
Guntrix

Good to know : )
Too bad you're the only admin for the time being. I also hope you guys don't annoy him too much when you play him +_+

Also, Guntrix didn't say this before, but Guntrix doesn't live in the U.S.; he lives in Korea. Because of this, he's not on until ~ late in the day in the United States. So if you see admin messages around 7am~3pm CST, it's highly unlikely it's the real Guntrix.

Hmm, I've never, ever seen a macro in good hands then.
Maybe they are this 1% that statistically just have to exist.
However the remaining 99% just ruin my oppinion of this game's community.

Jesus! I really know I was killed by legalizatorXxxxx (made up nick), wht the hell do I have to see (often in colors, sometimes every letter in different one):

LegalizatorXxxxx:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LegalizatorXxxxx:---->>>><<<<>>>>OWNED!>>>><<<<>>>>---
LegalizatorXxxxx:---------------------BY----------------------
LegalizatorXxxxx://////////////////LegalizatorXxxxx/////////////////
LegalizatorXxxxx:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every single goddamn time the morron kills anyone?
Or b.s. like "Onwed by a NOOB I OWN!"
Does it improve gameplay?
If I report it the MAIET will ignore it.
If I ask kindly to stop - he will ignore me or call me names.

So what else can I do? Any idea? (people of course see no reason to kick him... ah the "Expert" channel swappers.... -_-')


Typing "bow!" is not that hard I think. Do You really need a macro? I do well without it. I can even say "We rejoin at 25" without getting killed.
So if I can... (besides, You can make a gameroom "Bow rules! Rejoin at 25 or kick at 26" and there no longer is a need for macro).

BTW. I'm a daltonist. Orange and red are more or less the same to me, so I don't see how this "it's not a problem" applies to me or any other people of this 5-10% group (there might be more daltonists than Dial-up users in GUNZ in fact, which is kinda funny).

Guntrix, would you mind if I have a terribly mispelled "admin" message that pokes fun at the people who use them? It would say:
^2Adminestrater : I shuldnt mimc teh admin sinse I cant speel it!

I do not think that will work...
People who vandalize the game are the dumbest group of its players, they won't get the message.

I wouldn't mind hearing what Guntrix is planning to do with the problem.
I propose simply adding "administrator, moderator, gamemoderator, admin, A_D_M_I_N, administrators andministration , moderator" (but not "mod" - it's too short and can appear accidentally) to vulgarity filter.
And if people would like to reffer to admin they'd have to say it in leet or something - so that it would be clear it cannot be the real thing.

Heheh. That would be funny if he allowed you. : )

Or what this could be all solved if we can't use the word Administrator in our macros

I hope you relize that if you bypass IP bans that Maiet LEGALLY could contact your isp and get you cut off.

So you'll rather say you'll use the word GMs instead of Administer?

=)

Bleh skilled macros make me feel funny. I worked hard just to get my fingers use to half stepping, slash shot, flash step, etc...

And here comes someone who just presses a T on their keyboard to do a forward ss...
