Hello and a Question

First of all, hello to all. I have recently discovered VogonHQ servers. I enjoyed some game time in the instagib server and was pointed toward the other VogonHQ servers by Fubar. Wonderful servers for the gamer in all of us no doubt. I wont say that I have much experience in excessive, though, I have spent some time in baseq and rail only servers in the past. Cant say that I have ever drawn any attention being overly skilled nor pesty, (camping, or just being rude). I try my best, and I have to emphasize that I truly make a conscience effort not to camp or irritate anyone. Having said that, I would like to share that even though I have not been on your servers for even a week yet, I have been called out as a camper. I don't nor need to share names, but rather , would ask everyone to let me know what is considered camping here. Please don't consider me a noob to Quake, rather and noob to excessive. I have never been called a camper before and I have to consider that maybe in excessive there are some etiquette that I am not aware of. Thank you all for the servers and place to air out what is on our minds.

This topic seems to come up once a month or so, and my response is always the same.

First of all... Welcome to the Vogon community. If you ever feel like a change of pace, come join us on CHAOS some time.

Second of all... camping is fine, and anyone who says otherwise knows right where they can shove it. That being said, that you are accused of camping, to me, is nothing to worry about since there is nothing wrong with camping to begin with. :)

Excessive camping, or making it main playing strategy is not welcome and players will hate you. But sometimes you need to camp for a bit or maybe you are tired of running around and wait for players around some corner ... In that case nobody will mind. Used in moderation is OK, excessive camping is not, unless you play CTF/TDM where you need to camp in order to intercept the enemy. In FFA and Instakill excessive camping may get you some easy frags, but it reduces your skill over time and then you will start to camp even more and you won't be able to play normally anymore.

Hi Wolverine

I know exactly who you are referring to. Hacksaw, AKA f@t B@st@rd and a host of other nicnames, has called many a player, a camp/cheat in the course of his tenure here. He has a long and storied past with these server's, and has been told/warned about this behaviour in the past.
Take some advice from someone that has seen it all from him, what's good for the goose, is good for the gander. Or, just tell him to take a long walk off a short peer.
Or, tell him to mind his own fucking business. It worked for me. :)

Thanks for the input and suggestions. It is always better to ask questions before pointing the finger imo. I believe that most of us have our own ideas as to what "camping" is and perhaps I should consider the source. It wont get under my skin if someone calls me a camper, though, I will take the tips/suggestions and continue to enjoy the game. Kudos to the server and admins for keeping the quake community alive and screaming ! !

PS. Fubar, thanks for the heads up, I'll be seeing that one in the arena ! !

Hi Wolverine,

Welcome to Vogon servers. I played a few maps with you and saw you move around. I never saw you camp. You got some very good shots at me.

;) I have to say that you (Gumby) are hard to hit ! ! I get lucky once in a while and someone jumps into my line of fire. Seriously though, there are some excellent players that come to your servers and play, and then there are some button mashers that come to play. Either way, it makes for some fun game time for the most part. Thanks again to all for the warm welcome to your part of the quake universe and I do look forward to seeing you all in the arena and having some fun !! !! :rail: :sniper: :plasma: ok and once in a while :nades:
