I would have asked for a reason, if I were you. If it's not a password-protected server, there's no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to be there unless you are breaking any server-specific rules. If there was any particular reason why you shouldn't have been there, you should at the very least be told why that was the case. For example, if they were doing Pacifist Eyeaduct or recording staged replays or something.
Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!I've been told to leave several times when I jump into a server because two people are trying to play a "One on One" match. I'm trying not to be a dick about things, so I usually just leave, but it's still annoying. Especially when it's not their server, they just found an empty one and started playing. And then both stand in spawn until I leave. -.-
:smug:Had a weeeeeeird glitch today.
SO there I was, playing Goldrush stage 2 on BLU as a Revengineer. I intend to set up a teleporter since I found a sweet spot.
Entrance is done, so is exit. At some point, my exit explodes. I am puzzled: there are no spies since the entrance is intact, and if it was demoman or soldier projectiles, i'd be dead as well. Besides, there are no messages in the killfeed.
So I rebuild again and again and again, and each time, my exit ends up exploding. I realised at a point that my exit exploded everytime someone teleported.
Needless to say, my team was very angry to not be able to teleport.
I tried building teleporters as a vanilla engie and it worked just fine, though.

Yeah I get that a lot, it usually happens to me when I try and build stuff in 'interesting' locations, it's annoying when you're trying to do something a bit different and the game just turns round and says 'Nope.avi'
My teams are usually ok with it though, I got skills

I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die.Whenever I am directed into a 1v1 game that isn't a duel on public servers, I just resume my normal game. If they hide in spawn and talk shit, oh well. More people join the game anyway if there are 3 or more players. Usually, people in these annoying 1v1 games are really bad, oversensitive about how they play, AND VERY VERY SHIT-TALKY. They also don't know how to just the votekick option for some dumb reason.

Troper PageAllow me to step on a soapbox and presume a few things. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but this is just something that bothers me. Here goes:
Why don't people ever listen to the Medic? I don't claim to be a tactical genius who is smart than everyone else for playing Medic, but you'd think they're be more willing to listen to the person whose job it is to keep people alive! I was playing Dustbowl today, and I cannot tell you how many people went waddling through the one way gates despite my warnings that it wasn't safe or the uber wasn't ready. Then some of them get mad at me for not following them on their little suicide mission. Yes, let me walk into the killzone with 80 percent uber and die before it's ready. That'll really show them! I'm not asking for supreme command of the team, but sometimes it feels like I'm talking to a brick wall.
But then I found people who listen to my input and everything was all better. Just had to vent...again...I swear this game doesn't make me as angry as it seems.

"I know where I am, I just don't know where I am in where I am." - MeYou'll find when playing Medic that people will expect you to follow them into whatever hell awaits regardless, ignore them and stick with the people who play tactically and not like Leeroy Jenkins on crack.
Conversely, don't be That Medic who has an uber charged and refuses to use it, or worse, goes with someone who is expecting an uber only to back out at the last second. I tend to abuse the latter without letup, the former I just stay clear of.
I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die.Occasionally I find myself in the awkward situation where I have an Uber charged up while I'm tending to a Sniper away from the thick of combat (usually when I've been hit, and want to stay away from combat myself while I recover my HP), and with no good Medic buddies nearby. What to do?

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...I don't like have an uber in waiting. Once it's charged I like to just try and push forward with it. That's not to say I'll use it the split second I have, I just find I have a much harder time triggering it just to save my life than if I have a moment. I can't tell you how many times I've been blown up us I clicked the button and watched in horror as my uber went wasted.
Although I have the nasty habit of attracting people who won't push after I uber them and just decide to hang back. I make sure not to heal them for a little while afterward. But as a rule, I never follow someone into the thick of battle unless I know an escape route or they have prove they can cover themselves...or if we're losing horribly I just stop caring. Thankfully that last one doesn't happen as often.
Also, I'm not good at holding an uber under pressure. One explosive comes flying out me or my health dips into double digits and I just use it. Something I may need to work on.

"I know where I am, I just don't know where I am in where I am." - MeThat's the reason I like the third and fourth panels of this page.
I've seen both sides.
I've been a guy who's woefully under-ammo'd, and ubered at the worst possible moment.
I've been the guy who charges into battle with a fully Ubered Medic, prepared to use those 8 seconds to wreck a Sentry, only to die when I notice that he didn't Uber me, and he's nowhere to be seen.
And I've been the Medic with 50% Uber who's had to retreat when a Soldier tries to drag me into the hot zone with no protection.
I have a message from another time...Those moments when you find someone competent to partner up with make all the pain worth it...until they get autobalanced to the other side and precede to murder you. Or you finally end up on the same team as the person who were dominating you earlier, but suddenly couldn't hit the broad side of a bar.
...I think I need to take a day long break. I'm starting to have too many bad experiences back to back.
"I know where I am, I just don't know where I am in where I am." - MeI just love when people start complain that the teams are stacked, but then they're perfectly fine when we're getting steamrolled on defense. Losing doesn't bother me as much as the people who blame everyone else of the loss. Although there are some cases where you can blame your team, like when our Engineers built everything in underground tunnel leading to the final point in Dustbowl instead of putting it near the point...like a sane person.
"I know where I am, I just don't know where I am in where I am." - Me

Etiquette question.
Okay, so I connect to this server. I've played on it before, it's the one where I had a blast playing a solo Scout against two opponents on Payload Race and won several times in a row, before more people started showing up. Anyway, there was only a small handful of 4 people at the time, so I decide to hop in.
After a few minutes, in chat, I was asked to leave the server, twice (can't remember if it was the same person both times). The first time I couldn't tell who they were referring to, so I ignore it. The second time, they name me specifically. And since I don't want to start a fuss, I decide to just go (since they did ask nicely enough) and play somewhere else.
Question is, would I be within my rights to stay there if I wanted to? For that matter, I don't even know why they wanted me to leave. Should I have asked?
