Sincere "Thanks" BigD...

workingrobbie · 17th May 2007, 12:38 PM

...GSA, Uncle Darth, the Admins and the Community in general.

Ok Darth (and Jim) commented that there's been a lot of negative stuff in the forums lately and that got me reflecting and thinking.

Yes, small, annoying things may happen once or twice a game - and unfortunately they tend to be more memorable and you bitch about them - but 4/5 times it's a enjoyable, challenging round and you gg everyone.

I read the reality mod forums a bit, and yes, there are smacktards and n00bs everywhere and people the world over bitch about it, however, here at BigD-GSA we have a tight knit, friendly community - and an extremely low smacktard level compared to what the UK/US/European servers seem to have - and I am really grateful for it.
I've read stories at the reality mod forums of such-and-such-a-tard doing a stupid thing, and I think "wow..that wouldn't happen on the server I play on!" and it's because we've got a cool community with dedicated admins.

Yeah...so thank you ^^

VisOne · 17th May 2007, 12:56 PM

I think I speak for the whole Bigdy team when I say thank you its the comments like these that let us know that were actually doing some real good.

I need no praise, just money...

Take some time out to play on the Texas, Thor's Brigade and TacticalGamer servers (or at least the ones you don't get ping-kicked from) to see just how BigD compares with the other big-name PR servers worldwide. You'd be surprised at just how little coordination and communication there is over there.

Even with the occasional gameplay and player related crap, BigD is still one of the best.

CHARGER_76 · 17th May 2007, 01:11 PM

Yep we do have it good here at bigD. Some of the overseas servers are a bit of a joke. I got kicked off one for chat spamming insurgent insults. And others have very little VOIP comms, and even less stratigical gameplay. I get saddened a bit seeing DEV guys tring to play our server but getting kicked for high ping. I know they would love the server, as i'm pretty sure we play PR like it was meant to be played.

People always whinge. Especially on the net. Negativity is everywhere. I'm fine with it but. If i can put up with my g/f's whinging i can put up with anything.

Lolo · 17th May 2007, 01:30 PM

Yeah big thanks to all involved in making this a great place to hang out and play games.

Charger is right about those devs, it would be nice to see them able to play on BigD. TBH, ping makes little difference to the running of a server, so a few of them pinging in the high hundreds will be fine IMO.

Maybe the ping kicker should be loosened a touch.

VisOne · 17th May 2007, 04:22 PM

It makes no sense to disallow local gamers the chance to play on the Bigdy server so international players can with a ping of 300 or over the current auto kick you cannot have a reasonable gaming experience.

Lolo · 17th May 2007, 04:53 PM

Is the ping kicker set at 300?

Lucid Nightmare · 17th May 2007, 05:00 PM

Lolo · 17th May 2007, 05:18 PM

That is totally reason able. I was under the impression it was much lower.

Ablack77 · 17th May 2007, 07:57 PM

Agreed robbie,
I just finished talking about this to.................. .............someone :roll: ,
If you read the mod forums it sounds like there's a world full of smacktards and smacktard servers.
I thank the heaven's above (and the admins above) that we really do have a great place to game.

It really should be respected and appreciated.

Like I have said before, there will always be idiots out there,
but one of the great things about bigD is that when they come to bigD they don't last long,
our friendly admins are usually online and are quick to deal with them after they've been spotted or pointed out.
bigD is our "free from smacktard" safe haven.
(remember.....newbie s aren't smacktards, they are just newbies)
GREAT STUFF ADMIN. KEEP IT UP. :wink:

**Chuc** · 17th May 2007, 08:04 PM

I concur. Goes to show that people in the Oceania know how to play and have a good time.

Decafe · 17th May 2007, 08:24 PM

Big Ups to all the admins and players of the ANZAC ver of PR

bishos30 · 17th May 2007, 08:53 PM

Yeah, thanks guys.

This is the only online community where I've even bothered to remember names in. And the support you get as a newer gamer has always been great.
Cheers boys.

**Bahlye** · 17th May 2007, 09:22 PM

have played on tactical gamer a few times and for a "mature"pr sever there are a few (players)that aren't ,but all saying its not too bad
another good one is "pucker factor"-all extract
thors bridgade i get p-kicked from when the sever fills up...

good to see bD is so highly regarded by u all....

(on the subject o smacktards--haven't seen "ritzy" [umc] lately

srry-uncalled for or called for??????

Aphex_Fusion · 17th May 2007, 11:19 PM

Hmm indeed! You know that the [uMc] guys had a PR server for a while? I noticed a few of them getting nicer towards the end but I haven't seen any of them for quite some time now.

It's good to see more Sila, TEA and other clans playing on the servers too.

Captain_Wolf · 18th May 2007, 12:43 AM

I agree with all the above posts thanks guys you have given us a new hope for the future of smacktard free mature gaming. Let this beacon of light shine into the wilderness that is the internet.

S.O.P · 19th May 2007, 10:10 PM

Bigdy rocks. Always have, always will.

Way to promote the community.

dandred · 20th May 2007, 12:58 AM

One more big thanks from me.

Really enjoy the servers and how friendly everyone is in game.

Keep up the good work and I'll keep killing you all.....

**1GeKKo3** · 20th May 2007, 11:05 AM

Working Robbie said all that was needed to say. Huge thanks to all the guys working behind the scenes to make all this possible.
