This incident with acid reminds me of another that had happened when i was playing road hockey with my litle brother and some of his friends.
A kids parents where coming to pick their kid up, and while they pull into the parking lot (we live behind a plaza, and the parking lot borders are street). Their kid was trying to get possesion of the ball and from another kid. I'll call the kid who fell kid A, and the kid who didn't fall kid B. Kid A fell in by acident in the battle for possesion of the ball, and must have hit his leg on the curb, and started to cry (he was tired, been playing for a few hours). I go over and look at his leg, it was fine. Kid A gets upset at kid B, he must of thought he did it on purpose, i saw it, it was an accident. So kid A goes over to his parents and the next thing i know the father of kid A is charging kid B with a hockey stick, kid A takes off and while the father was charging at him with Kid A's stick. The father gets in a few slashes to the leg, untill i mange to get intfront of the dad. I try to increase the distance between kid B and the father all the while the father shouting profanites at kid B. Its at this point you might be able to use the analogy, that i was an admin, trying to keep the peace, with a hot head on my server but without a kick or ban command, all i can hope for it that this hot head doesn't decide to take a run at my head with his kids stick, it was at that time i realized i had my stick as well, instead of using that stick, to help dissolve the situation, i tryied to calm him down. Instead of provoking, i tried to calm him down, and defuse the situation (a stick fight would not have been smart, because of the fact that he was about 6 2 and 170 pounds, and me with my mean 5 10, and 130 pounds). Afther telling this story to my parents, kid B's parents and a cop or two, i found out that the father is faceing assult with a weapon charges, where i live, thats a minimum 4 year jail sentence, he might get less because kid B wasn't hurt, just scared. Instead of trying to talk to kid B and sorting this out peacefully, he escalated to violence and know has to face the penalty, all because of a misunderstanding.
Acid, i hope you learn from this dad, and try to get along with the admins, because they want the same thing you want and that is just to play rico. They're job is to make sure everyone in the server is not being anoyed by other players. I don't think attacking them, or insulting them is the best way to get what you want. I can see if you want to make a point, but before you do, you should ask yourself is this an important enough point to make. I hope a lot of ppl get to read this, just so they can learn to relax and think before you act, because they can have serious ramafacations.
