A right bleeder…

VAL (unofficial) (fake VAL), a.k.a depressed graga rain, just got a two-week holiday for bleeding , having earlier been warned then kicked for the same (saying that he'd switch to humans and mess things up for them, then proceeding to do so). He joins humans, usually aims somewhere near aliens (tend...

A kick team-vote would have been appropriate. As it is, not a lot can be done.

No. Grangers spit small spiky blobs of fluid. :D

Reading that as “spit at a humanâ€￾ – that's possible since spit does a small amount of damage (and can carry poison).

Yeah, it's a bit early for an ad, but i don't see why muffin is so put out by it. It appears for 3 seconds, and goes away. If there was an ad running down the side of my screen i would be annoyed. I don't like it either. It's in-your-face hijacking of an informational message. Also, I've found myse...

Basi-bomb doesn't even kill a ret, and any smart team would repair in the ~1 minute it takes […] to recharge. Dead basi ⇒ bomb again much sooner, but possibly at a cost of evos. What about grenade or mine? They can kill a goon in a single try. Marauder, yes. Weakened goon, almost certainly....

Well, yes. Clearly those of us who are there when they connect Are There For Their Benefit and must answer immediately and promptly. If we don't, we're clearly in breach of the terms of service and must refund them. After all, they pay Å￾lots for the service and We're There To Help and We Must Respond On Demand and We Must Provide Ponies And The Moon On A Stick and…

I don't think that these people understand that once they've disconnected from the IRC server, they've disconnected from the IRC server and are thus not contactable in that way (save for registered nicks and message bots, but these people probably haven't registered or there may be no suitable bot present). Their loss.

Anyway, what IRC tax? :)

I've had a brief discussion with Tremulant.ddos (NA1 admin) by way of checking up on the info gathered from #rcz. At present, I'm reasonably sure that:
ⓐ it was in fact Meisseli.ddos (based on information received); and
ⓑ (quoting Tremulant) “he's been a silly boy and should choose names more wiselyâ€￾.

As things stand, I expect to be lifting the ban later today. I'm leaving it right now largely becausse of ⓑ. (But if it's removed sooner, fine; I won't complain.)

iain kicked, I adjusted. If it falls to me to unban, I will. However, use of that name is a bit foolish: it invites admin attention and may cause confirmation bias. I did notice this in #rcz, though: helloworld2 (~Meisseli@Rizon-81BAE3D2.dhcp.inet.fi) has joined #rcz Now, I do know that meisseli.ddo...

Not available. Apparently, the file's been removed…

Anyway. Technically, ban; but, under the circumstances as described (game ended by a vote), ‘making sure that the game is ended’ is irrelevant or at least only a minor problem: “you get away with that oneâ€￾. However, should it happen such that a vote is cut short and as a result fails to be passed…
