What about hill camping or PT glitching (Yes, accessing the pt outside the building is a glitch) What about two people wall jumping on say field? It's a glitch, then again Nod already has a distinct disadvantage because two people can rush towards the ref and one take an ob hit, so would it be fair that two men can rush the GDI base and wall jump? You can't exactly say which is "fair" and which isn't. The fact that Nod already has disadvantages in quite a bit of the maps, does that mean it should be more lenient towards them in those maps? You really *cannot* say what is fair, because westwood never made it perfectly balanced, that would be near impossible. However, it still largely depends on the better team than it does the side, it still gives a team an advantage.
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

GDI > NOD on most maps, it's true.. Why do you think one of my clans beat de7's clan once? We weren't better skillwise than any of their players, we just had field GDI, and it's really hard to lose field with gdi in a 5v5 when you know what you're doing.
I only ready de7's post lol!

Who, may I ask, is the official judge of what is "fair"?

I think AoW means Renegade.. I've never thought of it any other way.
I hate it how Snipers try to divide Renegade between "Sniping" and "AOW" when really Sniping is a simple, small aspect of Renegade, and AOW, in essense, is Renegade being played for what it's SUPPOSED TO BE.

I think sniping is useless except when used in 'AOW' for the purpose of getting points, killing orcas/apaches or defending your team from other snipers.
To snipe to just simply snipe is basically pointless, because other than in those isolated sniper servers, you're never going to get a chance to hug a wall for that long in-game.

I don't know the answer. Do you?
Clearly not everyone is in concurrence about what constitutes "fair", otherwise why do servers have different rules?
So who is the defining authority on this?

the simple answer - no-one. as what is fair and what is not is a point of view, and what someone could see as fair, others might not

He's not dodging anything. It is so simply evident even you should know it.
There aren't 5,000 gameplay modes based on each and every little tweak, mod or exploit.
There are really only three, and he helped create one of them.
Single player
Command and Conquer mode commonly called AOW
Capture the flag
Everything else including "Sniper only" are deviations off those three.
Not that they are any less "Fun" or any other thing you care to argue. That's just the way it is, and AOW is the common term for C&C mode like "Map" is a common name for Level or Car is a comon name for every vehicle with four wheels below a gross tonnage of 10,000 lbs.
His point is that you're arguing semantics, and when you do that you are showing a clear lack of comprehension of the topic.
Westwood did not design the game for play with exploits in mind. And if C&C mode or AOW was supposed to have extras as a standard, you wouldn't have to to hit ALT to use them and they'd be in the manual. Do you think the Nod extra veh is an elite go kart? It was used in Alpha to test level playability before vehs were implemented.

Isn't the Sedan really effing fast, though? Like, faster than a Nod Buggy?
And even the Nod extra vech, it's low profile, speed, and good armor make it a fair troop transport (Although in retrospect the APC owns it)

I didn't start the argument. I simply said, in response to your "All Out War means everything fair goes" that opinions differ on what is "fair", and it is therefore impossible to draw up a conclusive, be-all-end-all list of what is "fair".
vloktboky wrote on Thu, 14 September 2006 04:12 | If you really want this argument to permiss, allow me to jump to the conclusion and offer you the self-satisfaction you obviously crave. You can claim victory on this one. Congratulations on your proud achievement. I'm sure it will prove to be a much needed boost in your confidence and your self-esteem.
As for the rest of us, we will retreat back into our dark rooms and promptly continue laughing at how much of a damn fool you have made yourself out to be.

Claim victory? What are you talking about? I don't desire "victory" or self-satisfaction. I want you to answer the question you've been dodging for a full page and are apparently unaware of the fact you haven't answered yet.

You only needed to answer the question I asked much earlier in the thread. Apparently it was beyond you, hence the evasion and insults.
Quote: | You in general know exactly what people are referring to when they use that acronym to describe their server.
|
I say again: if different servers do not have the same rules (for example: refhopping, hillcamping, and so forth...) then clearly you do not know exactly what people refer to.

warranto wrote on Thu, 14 September 2006 12:23 | Sorry, but MaidenTy1 is correct here.
Some servers consider using the "PT Glitch" to be acceptable and fair, some servers do not allow it, as it is considered to be unfair.
Some servers consider "Ob walking" to be fair, while most do not.
Some servers consider "Wall jumping" to be fair, while others consider it fair if only done with two or more people assisting each other.
Some servers consider the extreme amount of damage snipers to to light armour to be fair, while others consider it to be excessive.
Some servers allow "Vehicle Bombs" which they consider to be a fair tactic, while others do not.
|
hence, what is fair is a point of view. but in the case of server rules, it is up to the admin, as his/her point of view of fairness is what dictates the rules
