Exclamation Modem Tappers.

It was bound to happen eventually. It started when Zone re-opened; most of its new players were from Era, during its reset slump. But it has finally surfaced: Those God-Forsaken people that Era has shoved out: Modem Tappers.

Some of you may not know what they are; I am here to tell you. They turn off their modem so that they appear in one spot Serverside; however, on Clientside, they are actually shooting and moving in all directions. When they switch their modem back on, all you see is a flurry of bullets, and then you're dead.

It's relatively new to the server, but already has its abusers. Give all current ETs a ban hammer and fix.

a beter idea is if the event teams just keep there event team on every second because if the glichers/hakers see the events team the'll be to scard to even do the pipe/jetpack glich!!!!

Er, no, Dark has said that people glitch and hack in front of him all the time, and if you play Zone at all, you'd know he was an ET. So ETs really don't frighten anyone.

Stefan is the only person on Zone who does have banning rights, then?

Because he's almost never on.

Nor ban rights, but I normally have a PWA or someone else help me with a ban if it's ever needed so it's not that big of a deal.

As for the idea of giving ETs some sort of jailing rights or something to punish players I think this would be a good idea. I'll try to finish a jail sometime this weekend so we wont have as many problems.

Why? Make a Jail so that if you get sent there, people can lame you until your sentence is up. I'd like that :]

That kind of modem tapping can be detected (shooting too many bullets at once / in short time) and the bullets automatically be destroyed on server-side so that they don't hurt

Oh. Well that's cool. But sometimes the person just lags too much and it's essentially the same as modem tapping for 3 seconds. It's a real pain when they use a chaingun and that happens -_-

Why not make a nice little anti-modem tapping system. :3
