You've been playing the game for a while already so people assume you know what's a sensible strategy and what's just plain trolling. Folks were laughing at you already at start of the game, for having made 3 storages in the previous game (first thing you built after factory), and then you rushed a starlight (again first building this time not even plop factory).

Reclaiming other people's stuff is griefing and could earn you a ban.

There's no double standard.

I expect this kick was reported for investigation, however, I am doubtful that czesio did nothing to warrant the kick and is probably trying to skew facts (as most of these posts seem to like to do).

u fake your cheese is fake your food is fake your polycy is fake i know fox news is nice but we r not brain washed like u m8

czesio, I didn't watch the replay, but I want to see what you have to say about the situation. Were you just making super weapons and storages, or were you also reclaiming other people's stuff?

I think I need to watch that replay, but your input would be interesting as well.

edit: I watched it.

Huh, since when is Shaman a mod?

If somebody has a mid-high rank and should know better, like you do, repeatedly starts the game with a superweapon, like you did, and fails to listen to the rest of the team when they say not to do that, like you did, then absolutely feel free to start a kick vote for griefing.

Did somebody reclaim your stuff? This is not allowed but I haven't seen any reports. If it really happened then there is no double standard, you just failed to let us know we should enforce the (single) standard.

Yes.

I find it helps to imagine a ZK team game as being an in-person game of sports ball.

If your contribution to the team is to go and sit crossed-legged in a corner of the pitch instead of playing, you'll probably find that your team mates not only remove you from the game, but don't invite you to future games.

Yes, it is your god-given right to sit down on a playing field if you feel like doing it. But it isn't anyone else's imperative to include you in their team sport if you fail to abide by the conduct of the game, so you'll end up sitting on a playing field by yourself and not included in the game of sportsball.

This is super intuitive and obvious in person, and yet when people are alone at a computer the domain-dependant understanding of basic social cues in a team sport does not always seem to come easy. I guess it doesn't help that RTS games attract a certain.. spectrum of players, who do not always find social cues so easy to read at the best of times :-)

For occasions when you don't want to abide by the conduct of a team sport, and just want to sit on the field or dig a hole, there are very functional bots.
