I don't remember their screen names, but there are a few people online now that will join a game and lag the hell out of it by heavily spamming the chat box. One of them is calle Bz2pwn00 and he just joined a game before it had launched and said "*beep* *beep* *beep*" like a zillion times.
I think a couple of them talked about 1.2 being better and reffered to themselves as "vets" so its possibly a couple of 1.2 players trying to ruin 1.3 games. Not trying to start a flame war here just reporting it as it appears to be. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same person under different aliases.
yeh hes been around before. Attempted to distribute the worst attempt ive ever seen at a virus saying it was a msh to xsi converter. Sparked a lot of controversy, but in the end he was a bit of a fail really...
Also known as Veary. He's been recently banned from the IRC channel.
On another note, most likely aren't vets but are trying to spark some more flames in the feeble 1.2 vs 1.3 deal.
I could use a msh to XSI converter :P
I tried testing one with OM, the file I got back had 3 tiny scalene triangle pyramids in it :(
OM's finalized (I think) his reverter. You just have to provide proof of ownership or proof of consent from the original creator.
I've noticed some players with bad attitudes (killing empties, etc) when I was playing 1.3 today, they were fairly skilled players and were using cloaks. Immediately after the game I hosted a game and did an ipban on the offending parties (which I will likely remove after awhile). Anyways it's more of problem in 1.3 and countering laming is of the reasons why 1.2 strats use the 'known nicks only' rule. Regardless, I dont think you should blame the '1.2 community' for the actions of these players. 1.2 players come in a wide variety of attitudes -- and for troublemakers, 1.3 is the perfect place to stir up trouble because theres such a variety of new players that it's virtually impossible to host using the 'known nicks' policy.
If a team's empties are being killed, then that team hasn't been playing very well offensively earlier in the game, huh? I've been on both sides of that issue and it can be fun/annoying as hell. But just as anything goes...if it blinks red on the radar then it explodes.
Does anyone know if Bz2pwn00 has a dynamic IP or static? If static, I'd like to grab it and make a ban on it myself.
He has spout random stuff in the IRC channel, so GSH already made the ban on him not very long ago. I wonder if he was the one impersonating Nielk1... Someone came onto the IRC saying that a person named Nielk1 was causing a ruckus in 1.2 games.

That indeed was not me. I have not even run 1.2 in months.
VSMIT was being impersonated, but i don't think we found out the true culprit.
He's dynamic.
also named elite.vet
Which reminds me, the localprefs.ini has the ability to tell the game to ban DYNAMIC IP correct?
I have also been "imposterised" recently :-D and have had the Idiot spamming with *beep* *beep* *beep* in my game, Can't remember what nick he used, seemed to play most of the game ok though and just spammed the end. Shame really, I don't have to use the kick nearly as much in 1.3 as I did in 1.2.
Nothing wrong with killing empty's! Its better to have 5 scrap to pick up than supply the enemy with a free scout.
Do note, if I join the game as .:.FTD.:.squirrel-Ge THAT is NOT me. I have modified a file to allow for 28 characters for my login display name to fit. The real squirrel joins as .:.FTD.:.squirrel-Gen.
My IP is 97.67.108.126 (static). If that does not match my IP /ban the imposter!
My IP is dynamic, which can and will cause problems... I usually have an IRC client running when I play though, so if anyone ever tries to pull that crap, just ask the person a question regarding IRC conversation. :P (I play windowed aswell, so it wouldnt be hard for ME to answer.)

Actually from my part the perceived "bad attitude" wasn't intentional, and your ban came as a complete surprise. Anyhow, you had no chances of winning at that point (we were in blast tanks and you were in empties with only 1-2 pools at best) so what does it really matter?
Regardless of what stage of the game it is or how badly the other team is losing, it still sucks for them to not be able to fight back. And it was moreso your teammates who were acting like major ***holes. Even if its mini vs blast, its still sporting behavior to allow them the mercy of letting them get in their ships.

What I mean is spawn killing pilots and destroying empty scouts by camping on their rec pad.
Doing that is the gaming version of masturbation/tea bagging. Some kids just get their jollies seeing the other players helpless. It's what separates mature sportsmen from the rest.
you think, if bz2pwn00, veary, whatever the name. Think gamespy will ban him? He's got tons of servers up right now with bad language in them
Oh. I HATE campers!
Someone with the nick Bz2pwn00
Joined a game I was in tonight, no spamming, asked me "why are the people at bzU such retards" and denied being the spammer, then he left.
Seems an odd response from someone who is trying to defend their reputation. I have seen that nick b4 back in 1.2, not sure who it was.
But someone is Impostering! That person is an @$$H0|e. We know it and so does he. Not much else to be done about it really, but we can now be very glad that idiots like this can no longer ruin our games like they can in 1.2.
Would it be possible, for the next patch, to automatically kickban somebody from a game if they spam the chatbox using a peice of programming that types 10,000 times faster than the human hand?
That sounds like trouble, a better approach would be to limit the rate at which chat can be entered/passed over network, then the idiots would only spam themselves.
You can kick them and then ban them with chat commands.

Yes, but the quicker the response the less lag they cause.
Shame we banned the best poseing expert from BZU. :-P
He was at it again today, under the names Veary, Bz2pwn00 and _____ (who's name he stole after ruining the real _____'s game with his chat spam technique)
Just an FYI, he claims to be this brilliant vet player, but I think he's just a troublemaker because on a 1 on 1 basis we all had no problems killing him.
It's come to my attention that this incarnation of bz2pwn00 isn't actually Veary. It's an impostor.
Veary doesn't claim to be a vet either, he just doesn't particularly agree with us.
Hm, looks like some people are probably going to have to password their games for a bit or something... Then again, I usually do that anyway because I only play with very few people as it is.
Somewhere along the 1.3 patches, the /ignore command was introduced. I just don't use it though :p
Thanks for the heads up about that feature squirrel, I think it will be very useful. If I find myself in an online game against him I'll be sure to tell everyone else there about it.
He was on yet again today, he says the games he chatspammed deserved it, I ranted at him a bit and he gave up and reverted to his standard tactics of annoying the hell out of people with his racism. Then he said I was a hypocrite because I was racist, what the hell is he going on about?
Oh, and he said:
"Mr X, why don't you like me?
I just want everyone to like me"
btw, /ignore works like a charm.

But playing with more people in bz2 is the
second or third best way to make friends!

Followed closely behind by Starlight Breaker!
Couldn't resist... I wonder how many people other than Sonic will get that.
I didn't know about that /ignore command, should be useful.
For those who don't know, bz2pwn00's youtube channel is 'Vearidon'. It shows what he does, and some of his Nicknames
Oh.
Speaks for itself really...an enemy of bz2 if ever there was one.
Guy must be mentally ill.
Maybe we should speak to GSH and try to get him on the banlist.
Oh, and by the way - he's not banned on here either.
And he is reading this topic, but responding to us in game. :-D
I'm still hoping he'll grow out of it eventually...

He is? Then its a shame I /ignored him and missed it.
He started to be nice to me when I started telling people in games with him about /ignore. The two-faced twisted wierdo.

Yep. He said so over MSN. Quite a few other things too. About how he's 'not a vet and doesn't act like one' and 'doesn't hate 1.3ers'.
He's just here to cause trouble.

Where were you last time he came to town?
This guy is prime example of Minge and deserves to be ignored. He is obviously also an attention whore so he will also die off over time. (Hell, if we are lucky this prick will unite the 1.3ers and 1.2ers against him.)
I wasn't around back then, but I know damn well what happened with bz2pwn00's XSI exporter.
What was that?

So, he thinks that you aren't acting like a vet when you refer to yourself as one...fascinating...
And he does hate 1.3ers, but from what I can gather it isn't exclusive. He just hates people in general.
He's definitely an attention seeker. And as far as I can tell he is six years old.
mentally maybe, Physically he's 15.
Oddly I recently had a bad relationship experience with someone who lied about their age and also turned out to be 15.

I'm 15 (16 on sunday, yay!), and I'm probably slightly older than him,
yet when I poke fun at him he asks if I'm 13 or 14. Its funny because he has the nerve to accuse
me of being immature.

Of course he does, he's a bloody troll, he will do everything in his power to incite controversy. This thread is a testament in part to his success at being a troll.
Compared to other game communities, the Battlezone community, being tight-nit as it is, has VERY little knowledge in spotting and/or dealing with trolls. Bz2pwn00/Veary has got the community going many times, and we, as a community, still do not seem to get how to deal with him.
When someone starts causing trouble: ignore, block, or ban that person; simple as that.
I did have some fun counter trolling him. Was surprisingly easy.

Thats why he has mass racism always ready as a backup.
