DDNet Ger Helper Application (zCatch)

[Itachi97]

Dear members and admins,
hereby I want to apply to become a helper on your DDNet zCatch Servers. My real name is Lucas and I´m 18 years old. At the moment, I am doing my A-levels at college.
I play regulary about a half or a full hour a day and since the option to release someone has been implied to the game, I see many players not following the rules. The highest rule overall is that releasing is optional and never a must, even when some players decide that a release game is being played. Nevertheless releasing is something everyone is free to do and my wish is that no one will be kicked for not releasing anymore. Kicking someone for not releasing is childish and against the rules and it is my wish to stop this. If you promote me to a helper I can at least stop the kicking and guarantee a fair game without funvotes and insults.
In earlier days I created a map together with KlickFoot, then my name was ~*PsYcHo*~. I play this game since almost 5 years now.
I hope forward to hear from you soon, thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Itachi

A problem has occured.
Since I did not know there is another Itachi I am forced to change my nickname after this application is either accepted or denied.I talked to the other Itachi and it seems he plays longer under this name. I have never seen him before but I respect his wish. So after this application is discussed, I am going back to ~*PsYcHo*~

Or just stay as Itachi97 instead

[Itachi97]

Or this way

[Itachi97]

Um, may I ask how long this will take? By which values do you decide who becomes admin or not by the way?

[Soreu]

Seems like you should just try to catch onionly .me' ingame, as zCatch is up to him.

I do exactly the same and do you know why? When there are 5 people playing and some ego **** joins all the people have to wait in spec while he is running away from the other guy doing his "epic pro triple nade moves", although he can't win anyway. Meanwhile people are leaving because they don't want to waste their time to play with ego **** and the server will be empty within 5 mins if such guys don't get voted. People like that deserve nothing else but a 5 mins ban.

Well, in earlier days nobody had a problem with waiting, this is the sense of zCatch. It was a fault to imply the release function and I think no one who plays like in old times should be punished for an added function which was only created because too many kids cried that they cant play because they are caught. If they want to respawn instantly they can play DM or CTF.

In earlier days people played catch16, a mod where everyone was actively playing and never spectating

And I have no problems with waiting. The problem is that a round doesn't restart when there are less than 10 people on the server. If less than 10 people are on the server then it's ictf, more than 10 it's zcatch... that kinda is the actual sitiation and it's not really smart either? That's actually why people started to release I assume, because it made no point not to release when you can't win anyway.

I see your point, but since this isn´t a disscussion thread I suggest we leave it at this
