Official Duke4.net Discord server

#1

I noticed that there was no Discord server for Duke4, and since I know at least a few of us here have Discord, I figured I'd make a server.

EDIT: This is now official. https://discord.gg/qccgJ9v

We've just started getting Discord together and there will most likely one made by Hendricks very shortly.

As with "VacaHRP 1.5 Unofficial" back in the day, I'm not very accommodating toward unsanctioned use of our project names. Thanks for the thought.

It should probably (and will) happen. I'm just dreading the task of moderating a public Discord server. These things quickly become inundated with complete idiots.

EDIT: Zombie transferred over control of this and we might as well just use it.

I don't know if someone just decided to have fun and block me from all channels, but it says I don't have permission to view the history of any channels.

I changed a setting that I thought would make it more like IRC. I guess not. Reverted.

As a means to "Bring gamers together", to "Unite" them, as stated on the company page of the discord website, I'm certainly not the only one who finds the name "Discord" completely IRONIC, due to the contradiction between the definition of the word discord and the main purpose of the application... Am I?
You do know the meaning of discord, right?

Never thought about it.
Now that I do - you guys kill each other online and then talk with each other at the same time - the name is bang on.
I'm not on Discord, because I play the lonely single player only, but if I do multiplayer, the service seems to be top notch.

Don't stress yourself taking words too literally.

Discord is great as a TeamSpeak replacement, but we mainly use it as text chat, like a 21st century version of IRC. We're approaching 300 members on the Duke4 server.

It should be called "Disjointed" from the way multiple people are posting back and forth in between other people posting back and forth. Information overload at times. Many times more than one subject being talked about at the same time. I find it annoying but I put up with. Its a way to keep up on whats happening.

To the moderator who changed my name to "Ratard", and subsequently kicked me, I'm sorry I don't buy into all this mindless fearmongering. With that kind of treatment, I'm sure it's my health and well-being you're concerned with. ;)

Yeah, that kind of thing is pretty common over there, I had someone tamper with my messages once and the mods did nothing (I'd like to know more about this to protect my own server from it) and that was by far the mildest issue. Eventually someone booted me again, seemingly for calling the permanently-transitioning-but-never-really-transitioning trans people for what they are; mentally ill, or so it seemed. Luckily I already had better things to do and so it's neither here nor there to me, though it's odd you mention concerns over health because I genuinely do think a good number of people over there need to grow up and take their meds every once in a while, making everyone else have to deal with your problems just because you're too immature to figure out how to deal with them yourself, or seek the needed help, simply isn't acceptable behavior for an adult and I really don't have time for it any more, I dealt with enough of that when I was in the kids' home already. Ah well, I can't say I'm surprised.

Maybe if you called them "retarded" instead of "mentally ill", that would have been allowed? Posted Image

That's rather naive to think the 'rules' apply the same way to all people.

I would argue that discussion there is very civil overall, especially compared to many other gaming servers I've seen.

However #offtopic tends to promote outhouse-tier discussion and politics / world views (esp. since #politics got removed for the same reason).
Personally just muted the channel but there seems to be some disagreement once a week on something.

How about I complain about it then seeing as I don't engage in this behaviour and it's still messed up?

I mean, I don't visit the Discord often anyway so I guess you can ignore me but still.

Except it's not true. Radar is fine.

And if Radar is so shitty then just fucking ban him already , you whiny cucks.

You guys have had a private members club here for quite a few years. I understand that when you don't get the same treatment elsewhere, you get upset. I understand.

What is it that Radar was supposed to have done anyway? That seems to have been forgotten in the kerfuffle. That might actually be why you got the response that you did.

Are you saying the response he got is deserved?

I don't know if you're including me in that "private members club", but I didn't ask anyone to leave. I just stayed around when so many people left. I'm sure same can be said for others. You talk like there's gatekeeping going on when in fact most people's attitude here as a general forum consensus has been the exact opposite, in my experience; ie- "don't ban anybody", "freedom of any and all expression." Can that drive some people away eventually? Sure, but it's not the gatekeeping it seems like you're insinuating.

Radar deserved the name change--that's why I did it.

And if he doesn't watch out...

Musically Inspired - I had no idea it was possible to so totally misconstrue what I posted.

Just for one point - if I don't know what he's done, how can I judge if he is guilty or not?
