strange BOD exprience (CZ)

Le Rouge · December 23, 2006, 01:27:43 PM

1. I haven't played CZ for ages. A couple of mins ago, I logged into steam and the BOD server came first ping wise (my favs are still mixed CSS and CZ).
I saw Doris was there, so I thought I'll pop in and say hello, for old times sake. Was that bad in anyway? Have things happened that I am not aware of? :eyebrow:

2. So that's how the short conversation went (and I have it looged, naturally):
LR: lo, just popped in to say Merry Xmas Doris
DO: hello m8.. merry xmas
[Adey: lo every1; merry xmas Doris]
LR: how the new clan going?
DO: it going well cheers m8
[Adey: Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to Me]

(I typed something about shame he's no in this years tourney, but that wasn't logged for some reason so maybe it didn't even appear on the screen, cause I was suddenly disconnected. Anyhow, if it did appear, naturally I meant it in good spirit and nothing else)
and then I got:

[HPK] Sorry but you have high ping, try later...

Connection accepted by 83.142.230.24:27015

Any idea why? Not that I play CZ anymore, but have I done something bad in whishing our old mate merry xmas? I wasn't even wearing the dMw tag, just plain LR... :blink:

Any possible explanations to this strange behaviour will be gladly accepted.

Nope. I can't explain it but the Bod lot have been funny for a while - a lot of their "admins" are complete idiots. I wouldn't let it worry you.

I will see what i can dig up from some good friends that are still in BoD but not really active.

But just go and play your game. BoD has changed very much since i left them. And it isn't going really well..... So just leave them alone and i will see what happend.

I have a feeling that they kick/ban high pingers:eyebrow:

I can echo BB's sentiments:sideways:

If it was a ban then it was a short one.

I have asked around and the admins who wanted to help me couldn't find you on the ban list so it should be k now.

And yes they have put some strange things on the server that makes playing on it not very fun.

And LeRouge, anyone who visits this forum is a llowed to play in the tournament.
I did PM one of the mainadmins from BoD but didn't get a reply.

Things certainly have changed at BoD, used to get on well with Nethany but I had nothing but abuse from Adey after the ED:cz tournaments, abuse regarding nothing he knows about and things that we're out of my control.
