Dealing with Unjust Petition Threats?

[Zade]

People are quick to petition every single thing that happens. Sometimes its unwarranted, other times it has to do with simple errors of not seeing the person camping something, and very few are valid claims.

When petitions are received for camp stealing, the first thing we do is try to get the players to resolve the issue by themselves. If this is not likely, we step in and try our best to come up with the best / fairest solution for both parties. In a lot of cases, the actual petitioner is found to be at fault.

This right here....

Train the hell out of them, imo.

Don't do it. You won't get banned for a first offense if you steal a camp, but training someone else will more then likely get you the proverbial boot in the arse.

If you have problems with a player that can not be resolved, then use petition and let us help. Don't try to resolve the issue with a train or killstealing, etc. As far as being petitioned by people when not deserving it, there is not much that can be done about it. petitioners gunna petition. Stick to the rules and all will turn out well.

I think its interpretations of the rules that cause a lot of the problems. That and people making up bullshit that worked for them once before to coerce someone off whatever they were camping:-

"Oh dude, you weren't sitting right on top of the spawn...so you weren't technically camping it and therefore its mine"

...that's a favourite of some people, look out for those comedians [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

just a good rule of thumb to never listen to anyone who starts quoting the rules, chances are theyre twisting it one way or another

On a serious note, the douchebaggery has only gotten worse as time has gone by in my experience. You can put it down to people caving in too often, logging off mad and not petitioning, or there being no real way to solve the issue.

Obviously we all remember the days on Live where if you see a guy looking at an empty spawn you know he's camping it and respect that...move on. This isn't live, and if people can bend rules to get a few pixels they're going to do it and try to lawyer themselves up as best as possible, while probably having had their camps taken away with the same tactics previously.

The monk/Lower Guk instance...I'd say if he's hiding around a corner he isn't camping it, and has been intentionally deceptive knowing someone else is there. GM's call I suppose.

Overall you can play nice, or you can be a cancerous piece of shit and try and get ahead with throwing the "P99 book of camping" at the guy who was there first.

Peace and love.

What are tags? I see people mention em but I have no idea how to see them

Also if I was a guide and someone kept bothering me with constant petitions about ridiculous/false claims I wouldn't take anything they said after that as serious. People overuse petitions way too much wasting peoples time.

Either petition and look like a noob, or be a man.
