It’s a fascinating example that the Rune community really can police itself; we can extend the philosophy of self-governance to the new “animation cheats” and see what happens.
Fascinating, Mis. If you’re referring for instance to Book IV Chapter II of the Wealth of Nations:
then both ‘no’ and ‘yes’. ‘No’ insofar, I’m afraid, as votekickers make a show of intending the common good (for there they err); ‘yes’ if, in self-interestedly kicking those players of whom they’re jealous, they accidently affect the common good. And it is always the good player who knows best how to cheat.
Plato once remarked that the more skillful a doctor is, the more adeptly he could poison you. Paradoxically, it’s the best players who deserve most to be kicked.
Well, you have point, but if you can kill the “bug”, why just not kill it then. But, this police thing can go over the top you know. There is already some talk about a blacklist for people who flame (like flame nazi shit) and people who crash servers. I just hope things like this wouldn’t be nessasery…
if you leave and just come back you can vote someone out on your own…

Lol; that was a dirty little secret I knew would get out some time. Trick is, of course, you have to give up your frags to do it. But if somebody needs to be kicked, “gotta do what you gotta do”.
figured it out quite some time ago… never used it till now. i figured it’s better than telling people we dont know how to votekick. a few weeks back some damn sarks votekicked me for kicking their ass. so i dont care to tell people how to do it
Hmmm; well here’s something interesting. With the new stats package I’m thinking about having Rune look up your profile when you join in, mainly so it can display your ranking; but theoretically it could be used to check your name against a database of members.
Should we perhaps limit the votekick to members? In Rome, for instance, only citizens could vote.
Absolutely! But this could lead to a intense cloning proces (if it gets out): there’ll be lots of ‘members names’ on the server.
I hope i’m wrong (never happened before )
Interesting, Imp. There’s a little known variable in ..\system\user.ini called “ngWorldSecret”; we’ll instruct the members to pick a password so an imposter with the same name won’t overwrite your stats or pose as a member.
