Description:

ut2004 stats match # 40235120

Major idling. I think some others can back me up on this (I don't want to put anybody on the spot, but someone said they would...), though the server logs will probably be a better reference. Apparently, Phizzo changes his name, because he doesn't show up in the ut2004 stats log for this match. Best I can tell he is "Player 20" due to most of his kills coming from redeemers. Oddly, the log does not show him connecting, though I specifically remember one of his deemers going off right at the start of the vines objective.

Once we got to the sewers (with the 3 hold objectives), I noticed he was idling. Just standing there. I believe he was idling until the deemer was due to respawn, because he would disappear for a moment, fire the deemer, then go back to idling in the hall. I never saw his name show up on the kill scroll other than the deemer firings, though it is possible I missed it.

Later on in the last room, I noticed him idling again. This time staring at the ceiling in front of the teleport. I have multiple screenshots across almost 3 minutes of him in this EXACT position, looking in exactly the same direction.

The name thing in the log seems very strange to me. Not sure what is going on there, but I am going to watch that player ID to see if the associated name changes.

In an unrelated gripe, is there anything that can be done about players that have mid to largely negative scores well into the game? I am talking about -10 in 25 minutes; stuff like that. I realize some maps induce negative scores, but I have noticed a lot of matches getting very lopsided due to these players grouping up. Not fun for anybody.

(It's ok Silent, I know exactly who that person is)

I dunno what may have happened to my character in that match but first let me assure you that I have never changed names in the game EVER.

It's always been -=Phizzo=- from the very day Ive started playing this game and I had not changed my name at all during this match either so I have no idea why it would be showing up as "Player 20" as you say.

Now to be honest your post really scares me.

But at the time of this match I was having what seemed to be an endless amount of problems in the real world. The first time I got away from my keyboard was only for a bit (After I had deemered the vines objective) but then I came back and was good to go until I had to leave the computer once more (at the sewers objective after the previous one had just been completed and I had just gotten the redeemer) so I had resumed play once again Until THIS time I was pulled away from my computer once again for quite awhile and at that point that point I really should have went to spec or just quit the game (which obviously had not occured to me at the time).

Im Extremely sorry Silent and everyone else for any matters that may have occured during this or cause of this whole ordeal. It's good to know that your keeping a VERY close watch on our community and it players Silent_Treatment.

EDIT: I just took a look at the match details on the ut stats site and it appears my name is up there with all stats during the match. There is a "Player 53" listed up there aswell so I don't know if its something on your end or If something really did happen to me.

This isn't, and that is irrelevant. Thats why there's UT2004 Stats for real stat tracking.

Sniper don't be ignorant... Gametracker is the poorest game tracking stat site. It is basing it off of queries to the server, not from the server sending the ACTUAL stats to a player. We have our UTAN & MWAN tracker data to prove if he is lying or not. It records all names at all times used, so we can see. I will check when I get home.

Player20 is used when your game glitches, happens in office or dust. It as an unknown problem out my control. Just so that is set for the future problems with that player name

Ok people, calm down. This is no place to initiate a flame war. If you really must go at each other, take it through email or myspace or whatever. Just keep it out of here.

I agree, lets get back on track for this thread. If not, it can be locked.

Ok, about "player" names in stats tracking. Sure, if the system changes your name to PlayerXX because of the mod it will show up as such. However, if you join as a spectator the stats will show you as PlayerXXX (the x's being numbers) even if you join in the game.

Take it from someone that's watched stats like an obsession for a while before finally getting high enough I could retire said obsession.

Ok, after looking. Phizzo has only used two names.

"-=Phizzo=-" and "}N{-=Phizzo=-"
(if you would have been reconnected one time from the crashing glitch with the player name it would have registered on this list)

I think everyone is ok now, there was an apology and everything is peachy keen. Let's lock this thread.
