Story The Life And Times Of The Badmin, or How King Arthur's Gold Ruined My Sanity

Exactly. Just thought it was a good example.

 

I could not agree with what you said more. Although I'm not an admin on many servers in KAG, I too have seen a large decline in player intelligence. I took about a six month break from this game only a few weeks before the Yog video came around, and upon my return, I could definately tell that not only had the game changed A TON but it also felt as though everyone kept to themself. No one really talked to one another and had no real tactic as a team. They all just seemed to do whatever they felt like. Trying to help someone nowadays is generally greeted with a "Fuck u idot."

As a former admin on a few SS13 servers, I too have seen my fair share of childish or ignorant players. Today, many servers are flooded with a much younger playerbase and dealing with them is too difficult in my eyes. I resigned because of them and a few incidents, but I feel exhausted of all kindness because of that experience.

I am a pretty cold and callas admin, but I still have a want, a need to enhance those players that still enjoy this game for what it is. If I could, I would honestly be an admin on as many servers as I could for that same reason. Those few years I had admining those servers, I became numb to the daily bans and babysitting, rather than becoming cynical. Hearing someone yell, "ADMIN ABUSE," is just white noise.

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.

 

Probably a dumb question, but what is SS13 and BS12?

 

I'm admin on some servers but i got to admit i can be an ass some times but most of time im fair :D just having fun!

 

There have always been griefers in SS13, but generally once you can handle yourself, they'll be easy kills. Admins for a lot of the servers are looked at as badmins mostly due to the fact they make questionable decisions. It's hard to find the line between role-play and just plain grief. If admins don't respond to your cries in the ahelp, they're most likely either dealing with much bigger problems or afk.

Anyways, I hope this community improves just as I hope the SS13 community improves. I'm getting tired of seeing such hostility towards one another because of one's lack of skill or just lack of manners. Then again, I'm old fashioned so what the hell do I know?

 

Well, hopefully MEDIC will fix all the issues within the community by giving new guys a helping hand when they're just lost.

I remember what it was like when I first joined. I played for about 10 minutes (I bought premium immediately, before I ever even played the game) and thought I made a horrible mistake because I had NO CLUE what I was doing... A week later I tried again, read some guides and asked for help from other players, and I learned a lot that week. It's kinda sad to say, but KAG changed my life. I've never been a huge fan of online gaming, and KAG was the first game of the online nature that I ever got into, especially enough to play for a year and a half.

That said, I really didn't have anyone to turn to when I had no fucking clue what I was doing back in the early days... So I'm hoping my little contribution to the community helps.

 

Hey, im a fucking 11 year old but i dont "troll" people. I havnt played classic in a while but i imagine the community has gone to shit and as bone sauce said admins have decayed into badmins.

Cheers.

 

Uhm, probably best that you keep your age to yourself duder. A lot of places on the internet have a general rule that you can't register for forums/websites/etc. unless you're at least 13 years old...

Not all admins have degenerated into the dreaded badmin. I administrate the same way I always have, it just seems that most new players cry about the slightest thing regarding administration. I refer to myself in this article as a "badmin" simply because that's what I've been called recently.
