Man....
Every morning, I drink a cup of tea. Not just any kind. But the kind where you put sugar and cream in. Indian style, or actually, I got it from when living in Hong Kong, as the British drank it like that there too.
Anyway.
So I'm working, and I take a sip. Uh oh, it went down my throat wrong. No no no no no, not that tickle at the back of my throat....
By the time I moved my right hand up in front of my mouth, I had already coughed and sprayed tea out of my nose and my mouth.
All over the place.
Right in front of me.
From where I sit, there was a spread pattern of about a foot and a half.
My keyboard was covered, the table space in front of the keyboard was covered, my laptop was completely covered. To the left about a foot, was Krystal's iPod and a couple of my CDs, and the left side speaker. They had traces of spray on them.
So needless to say, I spend like a half an hour cleaning up, soaking up the tea first with moist paper towels to minimize the stickiness of it. Then running everything back over with clean, moist paper towels to clean up the residue, and then drying everything off.
Luckily for me, laptops and keyboards are spill proof anymore, due to idiots like me, spraying all over the place, not just in CS:S, but in real life, with liquid that was supposed to go down my throat and into my stomach. But instead, I perform a spray and pray. Oh it got everything alright. Boom headshot on the laptop.
I hope my stuff isn't completely stuck by tomorrow morning. That would suck.
I love when players in servers break a rule, and when an admin tell them not to do it again, they get go berserk. They start cussing the admin(s) out, and they get all hateful and just act like they've never evolved fully from an ape.
Why is that?
Also, the rules of Spawnpoint servers are advertised repeatedly on servers every few seconds or so. How is it that players can completely avoid reading those and disregard them entirely?
Players, it will do you guys good to read those rules, because when admins tell you that you have just broke a rule, they're just telling you what those adverts are saying. You guys don't pay for the servers, so you guys don't get to make up the rules. The staff members that work at Spawnpoint do, and what they say, is what us admins will enforce.
Don't cry to us when you get slayed from upper vent cause you are a terrorist camping the upper vent on Assault. Or when you are a CT and camping the glitch on the roof top on CT side, you get slapped till about 100 ft off the ground and get dropped to the death. It is not our fault. It is YOUR FAULT for breaking the rules, so YOU get to SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.
So please, go ahead, try that reading thing. It's pretty cool. The chics dig it, and I won't make fun of you by saying you didn't pass second grade English and completely humiliate you in front of other players because you failed to read our rules.
Am I a jerk? Sure, why not. Do a lot of players hate me? Yeah, probably. Do I care? No, not really.
I do care that they would start reading the rules and stop breaking them, or when a hacker comes along, that they'd help with demoing them, or at least keep their big mouths shut on the mic, or keep their fingers from hitting Y or U and typing "QUIT HACKING!!!!!" and "ADMIN'S GONNA BAN YOOOOOOU!!!!"
Don't do that.
Also, one last thing.
When admins send you a private message over the chat, it comes up in GREEN, and it is a direct chat to you and you only. Read it. It has to do with you and you only, so it might be a good idea to read it and see what the admin is saying to you. He might be telling you to stop telling the hacker to leave or that you need to fix your rates or whatever. Ignoring them will only earn yourself a kick at the least.
Again, we are not there to be your friend and let you get away with crap. We are in a server to uphold the rules set by Spawnpoint, and to keep the servers full and the players in it happy, without breaking any rules. So if you were in there to either break rules, try to run people off the servers, or just to annoy/tick off every person in the server that you have joined, you had better be prepared to suffer the consequences.
