BF2S Forums Whats up with the Voters?

lol thats nothing.  I know someone who started a vote kick because another person beat him to the tank on karkand.  He's a bit of an armour whore so he got pissed off when somebody else finally got it after he had used it for almost two rounds.

I hate voting AND punishing.

Who hasn't accidentally teamkilled someone?

I have had squaddies teamkill me, I don't punish, same thing happens and whack I'm punished.

I wish the bf2s stats kept track of how many times you've punished, or initiated a kick vote. I'm all for voting a crap commander off or someone thats killing for vehicles. But 99% of the time, I'll try to stay out of the voting.

i checked the "Opt Out of Voting" checkbox in the Game Options panel.  i don't need mutiny and kick vote polls distracting me from the job at hand.

Yes, punishing is not required by EA for a Ranked server.  During the limited time I had a server, we had punish turned off.  The problem is most have it on.  A lot of the servers that have it turned off advertise in their messages.
As for opting out, I think some servers (or maybe some questions, I'm not sure) will automatically make you vote yes if you opt out.  I don't want to do that...

I don't take part in votes, especially if it's against someone that's just having a good time killin' (legit). I just let the game play itself out.
I was on server today that said 'punishing accidental Tks will reduce the team's overall score'. Now in my opinion, that's a perfect balance.

opting out ? man, I must have missed that. great feature.

It's a bit off topic but along the lines of flaming and kicking...I was playing as US last nite and this one dude on the Chinese side on Dalian starts talking about how badly they are raping us.  Granted, we were getting beat pretty good, but he's just bein' a tool by rubbing it in as far as I'm concerned.

So me, being the patient guy that I am, tell him to shut up and play.  He goes on to curse me out talkin' about how he f-ed my mom and all that...Well i notice that the server has warned him for cursing and that next time he'll be kicked.  I don't know if he notices so I say, "What was that? I didn't hear you."

So he goes through the exchange again then gives me the I'll-f-your-mom line again, and then the server kicks him, about 3 seconds before the round ends and his side wins.  No points, no victory.  Justice.  I'm still smiling about that one

I would call that a victory and justice to you ... One of the funniest ways of getting justice I've read.

Btw. If someone manages to revolt at the end of a round does he get the com points or the guy who did the job till that point?

You only get the points for "your" time in the commander seat. 

WHat pisses me off the most is when everyone is of a lower rank than I (or everyone else doesn't seem to care), and for ten minutes my team has no commander.  SO I decide to take up the job, and about 1.28 seconds after I hit PGUP, a mutiny vote starts against me. Wtf.

Let's see...where's that little blue dot...oh there he is....Hey buddy, wanna play catch?  I just got this nice new artillery shell, just for you! Traiterous prick.

Whoa... I´ve been playing commander some rounds on a server. During each round someone was trying to vote against me. Then I left the space blank so he could try it but after 10 minutes there still was no commander in sight so I applied for the post again and about 10 seconds lafter there he was again trying to vote against me...

I mean if he really wanted the commander post I would´ve understood but that was just hilarious.

I have this happen pretty often.  They initiate a vote against the commander, the commadner leaves on his own terms.  Then I wait and wait for the person who started the vote to step up and fill in.   They usually dont fill in, so I take the spot.  Then, you never would of guessed it , here comes the mutiny vote again.

I usually ignore any mutiny vote agasint me, the most "yes" I have seen is about four.

Has anyone else noticed, that some of the people that initiate Mutniy's are not even in a squad?????

and the guys that usualy initiate a mutiny have very small scoore and alot of deaths, basicaly they suck at general game play and commander gives them a way to get points.......
