Server to be aware of ...

Hook · Posted: July 05, 2007 - 10:50 PM

The below are excerpts form one of my blogs on my site(s) about one particular cheat(er) that later I was told was probably using the "Elfbot" cheat.
(I will be posting an article about the experience of using the "Elfbot" by a player as a test to see what it is like to use it - Very Interesting!)
But - for now ... (read below)
The newest blog is on top - the first blog in this addition is on the bottom of this post. (start at the bottom blog dated 1/4/07)

BLOG – Hook – 2/19/07 – Update
This is to update my BLOG message from 1/4/07 - regarding Perdition Server!
The admin has changed his server name & IP!
Also - I am no longer banned - for some reason! LOL
New name & IP is:
"[PURE] Perdition Deck16][ Atlanta" - admin: "Perdition" aka "View" IP: 72.5.86.22:7777
Hopefully "View" aka "Perdition" has changed his airhead sucky ways!
But I'll bet not!

BLOG – Hook – 1/23/07 - UPDATE ...
Well, ever since I published the BLOG below on the "Perdition" server, I have not been able to find that server or the IP!
I guess that the Boycott worked??? OR Maybe a Reader / Hacker Hacked that server & put it out of its misery!???
I certainly hope that that poor excuse for a UT99 server & its admin is permanently put out of service!
Servers like that, mainly its idiotic player / admin should never be allowed to grace the net!
Thanks be to who or whatever destroyed it! LOL

BLOG – Hook – 1/4/07
"Perdition" per-dish'-un (apoleia, “ruin” or “loss,” physical or eternal):

The word “perdition” occurs in the English Bible 8 times.
In each of these cases, it denotes the final state of ruin and punishment which forms the opposite to salvation.
The verb apolluein, from which the word is derived, has two meanings: (1) to lose; (2) to destroy.
Both of these pass over to the noun, so that apoleia comes to signify: (1) loss; (2) ruin, destruction.
Another meaning: a state of punishment which goes on for ever, suffered by evil people (UT players???) after death.
Another meaning I found: a (ahem) UT99 server ie. "[PURE] Perdition Deck16" - admin: "Perdition" aka "View" IP: 64.154.38.16:7777
This server is REALLY Living Up to its Name! LOL Ruining UT99 & Punishing forever its Players! LOL
Actually, the server itself isn't that bad. It played fair to well with only occasional heavy lag for some players, including myself. It is set up nicely though with No Power-ups & No Redeemer! (I am not much for power-ups other than normal health or the redeemer either in smaller maps) This is why I originally went into this server!
I was looking for a decent server to replace one of the servers that I played in quite a bit, one I mentioned in the earlier BLOG about Cheaters.

The server is called something like "Nerds Network” server (the one that has Deck16 on all the time) and is a “PURE” cheat protected server! It had a problem with lag that I had ignored for years, then, in the past few months, Cheaters have gotten into this server! (for real) That was the straw that broke it for me.
That is why I went casually looking for a replacement server for this now corrupt server.
Well, I stumbled on to "[PURE] Perdition Deck16" - admin: "Perdition" aka "View" IP: 64.154.38.16:7777 - Big Mistake!!!
At first it seemed very nice. It had less lag than my old Deck16 server & I assumed it was impervious to cheaters.
I was doing very well against the other players in there which varied between 5 to 8 players.

I won the match a few times and stayed mostly from middle to second position on the rest of the games I played. That was More than I could care to want in a server. I mostly play for fun & not necessarily to win! I thought I had found a new favorite Deck16 server to replace my old haunt. Well it was nice until 2 "players" came in.

These 2 players called themselves "View" and "Pennywise". Pennywise was on a par with or slightly better than myself. View seemed to go like lightening, seemed to be everywhere and tore up the scoreboard with extremely high scores with very few deaths. I noticed that somebody said something and in a very short time was banned from the server. I had not paid much attention to the chat. I figured it was probably someone that had given the admin trouble before so I ignored it. Then I noticed some more chat between View & Pennywise. They were saying things like "I need some back up" & the other would answer "Roger that!" Some other player or players would usually die right after the communication between them. It then happened to me several times when I was fighting with either of them. The other would come up behind you & let you have it. I thought, well OK, they are helping each other.

I didn't think that they needed it though. I also began to notice that View seemed to sustain very little damage when fired upon. Sometimes I let View have it with 2 or 3 direct hits with rockets. He fired at me and I died.

He went on to fight with others. One time I emptied my chain gun into him only to be killed by him. He went on fighting again! Well, I hated to, but I finally said that I suspected him. He said "Of what?" I asked him "Are you running a cheat?” View came back with "I Own this server!" (Not meaning he is good on the server - he was the actual owner & admin of the server, which I new he was)

View then said a bunch of very nasty (and I might add Very Inaccurate) stuff to and about me along with input from his bud Pennywise who was also ranting at and about me. Holy Smokes did I strike a cord or what?
I reminded them that I am probably wrong, that I meant it in a "nice" way and that I just hated cheating.
If I was wrong just say so. Maybe they both, or at least View for sure, just had a very good connection.
View then switched me to Spectator mode where he moved my view from player to player.

He then focused on Pennywise saying to watch & learn how Pennywise plays. Oh, and Of Course they threw in many times that I was a NOOBIE. They mainly tried to belittle me by treating me as a Newcomer, pretending to be showing me how to play, all along with the nasty comments!
Can you imagine? LOL Then in a matter of seconds I was Kicked & Banned from the server! What a little punk primo Donna!
The server was OK but the admin/owner, "View" aka "Perdition" was definitely NOT good for UT!!!

He was WAY OFF on his judgment of myself and apparently others also that he has banned as I witnessed. I have played with Pennywise on other servers before or at least with someone using that name. He didn't chat much and played medium to well.
But View - Boy was he a little Punk Brat Primo Donna with a Huge Ego! LOL
As much as I hate to use it, I will in this case -> View really fits being called a "NOOB"! I don't mean as in newcomer.

I mean as in a player that has been around for at least awhile and thinks they know everything and cannot be beat or taught anything by anybody! Oh and he never answered my question - "was he running a cheat?" - One that protected him? (His server didn't allow power-ups so if he was using such a cheat, no one could equal him in the game - he may have just powered himself up using his server commands)

Another player (I will not name him so he won't get banned) that was in the server before and after I was rudely and wrongfully banned from the server e-mailed me about the server.
He reported similar problems with View suspiciously dominating all the players without much damage at all.
It wasn't just me! He noticed it also.
Myself & this other player are promoting the Boycott and ultimate destruction of this server, mainly to rid the net of this Idiot admin named "View" aka "Perdition" forever! PLEASE JOIN US!!! Boycott this server!

Again, the server is: "[PURE] Perdition Deck16" - admin: "Perdition" aka "View" IP: 64.154.38.16:7777 (Edit - I think this IP is no longer valid but the Server is still up as of 7/5/07)

Well, View and his server for sure, and possibly Pennywise are going to end up on my new page (coming soon) listing Bad, Detrimental UT99 servers & Players that are destroying the fun and life of UT99 and Punishing UT99 players forever!

I am also contemplating a page for UT99 Server Reviews! - Stay tuned!
