A lot of you know me well in the servers; most of the time I'm happy and cheerful, even when I'm having my butt handed to me, and some times I'm moody but no matter how I feel I always try to be nice to everyone. However, recently, there have been a series of events that have shaken my faith in INF.

As you well know an unofficial little group called dot cat has come into existence. Since it has begun and people started joining there has been a wave of harassment, insults, and TKing... all directed at dot cat in one fashion or another. One question that I have is what is the big deal? Do you guys in the "official" clans feel threatened by dot cat in some way; if not then what is it?

I also found out that recently while I was out of town, someone decided to hijack names and begin TKing under those names... from my understanding mine was one of those names.

Finally, today, Ping and I joined one of the servers with a couple of people playing. I guess they wanted the server all to themselves so they began to insult Ping. I came in a minute later and saw this and asked what was going on. No sooner had I asked this that I too was now the recipient of a series of insults which promptly set me off... just as my ISP dropped my connection... again. So, I didn't get to respond with much of anything... but it made me think about the state of INF at this time.

Now, the last couple of days I have been talking with a couple of people that were thinking of moving on and I was trying to convince them otherwise. Just last night I was convincing one person to stick around a little longer. However, after today’s events I realized that things like this are sucking all the fun out of INF and I began to think that it might be time for me to move on as well. I don't expect many of you guys to care but it would appear as thou very soon I too may be leaving INF. I just hope that things turn around quick because I honestly don't want to have to leave INF but if it continues down the path it's in... I'm out.

I think you're playing against the wrong kind of people. You should play with nice people not bad people. Of course... The bad people kind of scared all the nice people away. So I can see why you're kinda stuck in a quandry. Oh well, was fun playing with you!

I recognized a few players misbehaving recently (all on US servers), I don't think it was related to .cat - it rather seemed like some random brats tried to stire up trouble.

In the end the only way to deal with them is checking serverlogs and taking suitable steps (i.e. banning IP's).

Since this can (and does) happen in any game at any time, I suggest to make the necessary efforts. PM the admins (Odie3 for GD, Shan for SG, Neabit or myself for INFGermany, Mabuse or Dirtfinger for FOOL, Harper or Cleeus for JgKdo) they'll know what to do.

:S ive never seen anyone insult or an ******* to any .cat member ...the only thing i saw was Jr stealing kitty´s name(and Derelan) so he could logg in and TK again cuz we keept kicking him cuz he been Tking on purpous and ****ing up the game for 4 HOURS straight!?

other then that I ve havnt seen any type harassment to .cat , you remember the name of the ppl who said that **** .... if it was either Jr or someone called Micheal ... dont care about it them .. they are some poor kids who doesnt get any attention at home ...
but i hate to see ppl leaving cuz of some harassment from low level IQ players ... im sure more ppl want you to stay , other that wants to see you leave .. sorta like UN said(eventhou he lost me after "playing against" :D ) well if its´s not cuz of them ... then take care of yourself Lauren(right?)

That ISP drop sounds a little suspicious. What Duke used to do. Its pretty hard to REALLY ban someone. But yeah, it could just be some kids. Played many FPS games and there's always *******s. Probably nothing personal against you. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. *******s like them always try to get under you skin. Hopefully they'll just get bored and move on.

3 of them have been permanantly banned from GD servers. I asked Shan to do the same on his server, but he didn't even reply to my private message although he saw it. Because of that I even considered publishing logs and IP... I will not as I still hope he'll reply to my private message. It's hard to ban friends from servers... but not that hard.

I am 99% sure at least two of them are involved in what you mentionned.

Sad.

This is nothing new. Someone posed as my name a while back and played people 1 on 1 to slander my skills and reputation. Thankfully after handing a few asses back to the people they realized that person was a fake. People are just ****tarts please dont leave cause of them.

The first problem is the group of lamers who infest the [^..^] and DbD clans. Not all the guys in the clans are bad, but the clan as a whole is responsible for allowing their clanmates to act that way.

It is hard to tell, because the lamers change their names online constantly, but through IP logging the lamers were Jazzrack, Mercie, and Pipedream IIRC.

The second problem is twofold. Shan is a great guy and he has done a lot for the community but his friendship with the group these lamers belong to has prevented him from taking appropriate messures against them. Also, his relative inactivity means that he can't be found when we most need him (which is what happened during the incident Maja is refering to).

Please submit your posts in the form of a question.

Honestly, I think I owe you guys a big, immature 'I told you so' when it comes to this whole issue. It's not like I didn't help gather three cardboard boxes worth of proof against those guys - more than half a year ago.

I can't tell you how hilarious it is watching everybody complain about this now - as if it hadn't been going on for the past year.

Everybody else seems to view this as a 'clan rivalry' for some reason, which was never the case. It was just idiots breaking all kinds of rules and being rewarded for doing so. Anybody that views it as anything more than that is an idiot as well.

I agree with everything KW said, as I've said it all myself.

I'm just glad something finally fucking happened.

I think I did my part here. As much as I possibly could anyway. Hell - I should be in one of those 'G.I. Joe' ending commercials...

Wow, I don't know what to say, I didn't expect this response.... I guess, thank you all for your support, I didn't expect anybody to really listen to me much less look for the people in question since I'm still basically a newbie. I guess I will stick around a bit longer...... I'm still kind of speechless at the moment, maybe I'll be able to think of something to say tomorrow...
Thanks :)

Meh, this is a post NOT about promoting myself. Oh wait, my name is here. WTF. Anyway FYI I have not played in about 5 months, so anyone using my name since then is a false NTKB, a mere shadow of the real thing. Wait isnt that a promotion? Bah.
