Sound when a TCP joins

[the_kay]

Hello

I noticed that on our TAM servers, I hear sometimes a voice saying the word "Ownage".
The other players told me that there is this sound when a TCP member joins.

Now I have two concerns about this:
1. I don't like the word "ownage" (which puts us IMHO near some (script-)kiddies who are 12 years old, and spend all their time making other people feel bad).
2. There is only a sound when a TCP member joins, which I dislike a bit, because it veers towards an attitude of elitism, saying that TCPs are "worth more" / "better people".

I have spoken to some other players and they agreed.
I therefor request the removal of this sound.

Please tell me what you think about this

i like it, its pretty cool ^^
i think the TG server also has this feature, but when ppl start to take every fart seriously then it loses his fun which is actually the main reason of this sound and not to make other playser feel bad...
wondering to which players you talked to kay lol

Its good to hear something when }TCP{ peeps arrive, it is our server after all , maybe OWNAGE isn't quite right but something like OWDO (copyright the Damned) or a similar snappy remark could replace it ?

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!! Might be better. I think it is cool, and should be used on all servers. My vote, IT STAYS!!!

Hi!

Well, I didn't hear it yet, but I like the idea in general. It tells the other members that a friend has arrived.

I would also suggest that we replace the word "ownage" with something different since I don't like the term as well.

As for the elitism attitude, I don't feel like this. Ramses also said that it's our clanserver and I also think that it's ok. If you were consequent with this, you would also have to remove the }TCP{ tag, because it is a sign for our closed community as well.

I think the message should say

"OWNAGE but not becuase we are better becuase we have admin rights and can kick ban you plus its our server so really we are half ownage but who knows you may be better than us"

Now thats a good sound

Have a sound play when a fellow member joins is a good idea.
But seeing that so many peeps have commented in another part of the forum
about the word ownage and their dislike of it,I find it surprizing that it is being
used.
Personley some one saying it or using it mean nothing to me but I am hearing a lot worse on the other servers that I play on.After a while you just dont notice it.

May be instead of a word,a sound/noise should be used
e.g. a fanfare.

Car only put it up for testing purposes of the whole thing
Personally I have no problem with it. If we start changing and censoring everything, we're no better than those government ppl in China, verschäubelt nochmal :O

Anywho..Would still be cool if the sound could be individually changed for every player

IMO, it goes.. I had a little word with Wolf also about it few days ago, and we try not to use that kind of "elite"talk etc. on the servers.

Because TCP aint about that, it's about having a good time with eich other.

So the ownage word when someone enters only starts those kind of things imo..

Just my 2 cents.

Hmm how about: "ARFAGE!" or "Punisher entered!" ?

verschäubelt nochmal :O

hehe
Insider joke which is about Wolfgang Schäuble, the current German Minister of the Interior. He has been much criticized because he tries to abolish the Rechtsstaat (for example via telecommunications data retention, or he talks about killing specifically presumably guilty terrorists and abolishing presumption of innocence for "terrorists")

all your base are belong to us :rockon:

[}TCP{Ramses]

Lol someone was telling me about him the other day, and I just read about using tanks to control football fans in that Wiki link , how do such people get elected let alone rise high in the ranks (we've had one or two nutters like that in the UK) ? <---- rhetorical no reply required

Can't see anything bad in this welcome-greet.
