My point is very easy! Almost so easy that ANYONE could understand it.
I write "almost" because some people just don't seem to get it.
"#¤¤!%¤#&#%&??!!/¤¤ What's the freakin' problem!? DO NOT FAKE (NOT EVEN IN MIXED GAMES).
I'll make it even more simple by sharing my point of view on people using not-their-usual-nicks-to-confuse-or-hide in mixed games.
If people play with a nick they use often (e.g. Nu55i instead of Sandyman, almost anyone knows that) it's ok by me. If there's someone asking there's usually an answer pretty quick. Ok with that, CHECK.
BUT. When people use fakenicks because they are "tired", "having a bad day", "trying out new settings", "don't want to lose in public", "afraid of getting comments because they 'should' win and didn't" and stuff like that. It's silly. (did I miss any reason?).
I've come to play only mixed nowadays since school/fiancé/etc is taking too much time to be active in a clan (which I really enjoyed back in the days with Campbusters (and will enjoy when we make a comeback)). The only two options left for me, and others, to play 4on4, is to standin (I love it!) or to play MIXED GAMES. And here comes the BIG problem...
It's easy to get mixed games going nowadays but THERE'S ONLY A FEW MIXED GAMES PLAYED WITHOUT FAKERS!!!???
It's not like the world goes under for me (nor for anyone else) (as some ppl probably would say) but it's very, VERY, annoying putting 20 minutes of your life (when you could've done something else) to a map/game that is COMPLETELY USELESS in all matters.
Anyone would(should?) agree with me when I say that a mixed game played with VERY unfair teams is one of the worst things in QW ... Often random pickup is made untill there's ~even teams and everyone's happy. When that's not possible after 10 rpicks I use to offer me changing place with anyone in the other team or I make a suggestion to a switch which I think would be good/better (NOTE: ONLY doable when the game doesn't include FAKERS).
Sometimes I have the energy to solve the faker-problem by becoming an admin and KICK the hell out of them. What's annoying by that is that the FAKER gets ANGRY(??? Wtf, who cares about you?). The fakers in these cases have had dozens of chances here to become REALNICKERS instead of getting kicked. AND, to become an admin as Eta-bETa you'll have to be ELECTED to admin. Which means the MAJORITY of the players on the server DOESN'T LIKE YOU FAKING.
Alas, I don't have that kind of energy everyday... I/we(the other players on the server) let the freakin' fakers play and sometimes we are lucky and the game gets even. But... TOO Often, like today, we had to break after 4 minutes because 2 fakers in my team were obviously (very?) skilled players and the teams were VERY unfair... That made me not able to continue playing since I had something else to do.
Solution of this problem? SIMPLE AND FRIENDLY ONE: E.g. today, the two fakers could've used their realnicks instead and we could've made another random pickup to get the teams more even. OR, we could've switched teams by mind and not by random. <--- That's the solution I would vote for. The OTHER solution is the KICK-THE-HELL-OUT solution, which I also like, from time to time. That's almost always doable in these days since serv-u is perfect for getting non-fakers to join instead! The problem is you don't always have that kind of energy...
I only write this because I don't think I'm the only one with this problem :].
If you don't feel the same, then feel to post a reply and use realnicks in the future.
If you are a faker and you think you have any legitimate reason for faking, post them here for everyone to see.
If you are a faker and doesn't like me kicking you in mixed UNEVEN games that I want to be fair games, flame me 8], or use realnicks from now on.
If you don't like fakers, join the KICK THE FAKERS-group and elect->kick when you spot a faker. The group doesn't exist on paper but it's there. TRUST ME FAKERS!!! IT'S THERE!!! KTFG 8]
Still it's not the end of the world but it's a small problem that could easily be solved just by using your real nicks. I don't even think YOU (fakers) like playing these very unfair games. Last, but not least, these games almost always ends with someone dropping, breaking, idling etc.
Too much to read allready. Have fun playing with your real nicks and be a man! Do not hide behind another nick than your own! NOBODY cares if you're div0,1 and someone with less skill wins! IT'S A MIX. And if they do feel like they're the best on earth by winning over you in MIX, they have a sad life imho!
Over and out.
