Greifers in Babel

How is team greifing possible!? Ballast and I tried stopping the greifers, or at least reduce/repair their damage. There were even people blocking the way in pinline so I had to destroy it.

This is exactly what i was talking about during qbf’s post

I know, right!??!?!?! This has to be stopped!

Could someone verify where the “protected team block” regions on pinline begin? Looks like this all could be within that region near the tent where anything goes.

For blue team: x >=128, x <= 211 and y>=240, y<=272
For red team: x>=301, x<=384 and y>=240, y<=272

This map should have new regions of protection once the server restarts.

Aaaaand once again, yesterday on Babel. After we successfully broke Blue tower, half of the Blue team switched to Red for griefing. Something seriously needs to be done

Did you call for an admin? Although it’s nice that you tried your best to keep the tower alive, you could’ve probably saved it by calling an admin.

This was actually a case where a votebuild command might not have worked.
Cooperating griefers overwhelming the opposite team would water down the vote.
Luckily, I have so far not seen a situation this bad, although I had a griefer take my tower down yesterday (it was at the left corner of the platform, thus outside of the protected zone). Very annoying, especially if the opposite team then joins in on expanding the destruction and killing those repairing.

We’re these people votekickable sounds to me like it was organized

The only problem I have with pinline is how terribly easy it is to troll. One person raising the 1x1 block everybody spawns in creates a death generator and blocking the entire map from being playable is as easy as tiny wall. It would be nice if spawn was staggered over a platform and there were multiple pinlines or spawn staggered over a slightly larger section of the pinline and there still only be one 2wide walkway leading from spawn. It would help with the griefing problem on the map but you can't fix assholes.

A bigger spawning platform is usually what is built first at least imo

That doesn’t make a bit of difference if you still spawn on a 1x1 pillar 40 blocks up in the air.

If the admins won’t give us a command at least add where we can kill people on our team who break blocks like on pinpoint.
Simple solution

I don’t even want to baby sit everybody on my team from killing each other. I wont do it. This is a huge reason I hate the shit out of hallway. The simple solution is to make the spawn area of pinline slightly larger and make it so people spawn in a 10x10 area instead of a 1x1 area or something along those lines (heh). Adding commands or team kill is not the best answer.

You would just get votekicked for teamkilling if the griefers are cooperating. Plus, this will just be ten times more abusive than griefers because now there will be teamkillers. Just call an admin in.

Edit: grammar

One does not simply call in an admin.

Admins aren’t the rare, shadowy myths that hide from sight that you seem to think they are.
They’re active, and they’re a few commands away.
