Hello from Mustang: Problem

I've been playing on SWGO a long time and never created an account to report an issue, so you've got to know this one is getting on my nerves.

One particular SWGO admin is giving me a particular problem. Talon Karrde routinely switches my team mid map or whenever I join -- often with snide remarks like "If the teams are unbalanced, it's not harassment, right?" This last one he made while lordfred was present and I believe Ripley as well. He is particularly consistent in doing it when I kill him consistently in JBA, or when I am a pulling character in HA. The first time he did it, he followed me across *two* SWGO servers and did it *three* times. When I told him to "knock it off", he kicked me. I went to JBA instead; he went there and did it again!

Seriously dude, you berate other people for being childish, yet you can't seem to resist acting like one. Cut it out already.

Hmm, I'm 50/50 on this one. Mustang usually wouldn't say anything unless it's a semi-big issue. But at the same time, he's the type of player that when he's losing he plays angry (ie Aayla pulling, link-cding, etc...)

But we may want to hear him out and/or Talon's side.

Thanks Mawk, but I don't see how that last sentence is relevant at all. None of the things you listed are against the rules. Also, the second to last time Talon performed, he did so in front of at least one other admin (I think two) and made it pretty clear through his words purpose was to antagonize. At the end of the match he said: "Aww, Mustang you couldn't help us out?" It's hard to spin that any other way.

The first time I said: "Okay, I'll be a good sport...funny." But when the issue repeats itself multiple times over a period of months it starts to get annoying. I asked Talon directly to stop (aggrevatedly, but without verbally abusive language at all) and the result was a kick. That's why I am posting *here*.

Again, just knock it off already TK.

I have to agree with Mawk as well. While you dont seem the type to just make things up Mustang, I've noticed you have the same kind of attitude towards me that you're accusing Talon of. Hard to tell through a video game if you're serious at all when you make certain comments towards me, but if you want respect from people you have to show it to others yourself.

Making antagonizing statements doesnt justify using admin to ruin the game for the guy. If he is breaking rules then he gets the warn/kick/ban like everyone else.
Id like to hear from Talon on this.

It's the 'STANG'! Deadly accurate on JBA to be sure. If I see stang, I just run the other way. :lol:

I agree, I didn't make that clear in my post. Admins should never let any kind of talk or attitude affect how they run the server. Of course all we have right now is Mustang's word against Talon's future word, if he decides to post here. It would help if we had any kind of proof of said abuse.

Agreed Mustang, they are not against the rules, nor did I say they were. I was making a comment on the type of player you are. I put you in a category that the other admins may understand easier: The type of guy who gets mad when he's losing. Generally this can give a broad spectrum for them to think on and analyze, to decide whether the investigation is fully warranted or not. This is why I said it was 50/50 for me personally, I was giving my reasons.

SWGO has many people complaining about admin abuse, and most thus far have been unfounded. Giving you a chance is also something I am open to, because I know that you wouldn't post unless you thought it was serious. I'm on the side of justice for this one and my logic is hopefully explained now.
