The HC4L ban session last weekend made me google for casino bugs, and it made me read the servers rules again.
And it made me think...
Common Sense
First and foremost, common sense should be used at all times on littlewhitey's SA-MP Server. If you know, believe or even have a suspicion something you are doing is wrong and could get you punished then you should not be doing it - if in doubt, contact a member of the team for more information.
Obviously for me, its this point that fails so hard nowadays, not just only here, not just only in gaming, but everywhere in society
common sense seems to lack away from the peoples mentalities.
Nowadays most people are not like: 'Hey, this could be disallowed. Let's
not do it!', they are more like: 'Who cares if it's allowed? Let's see what they gonna do about it.'
The whole societies collective mentality nowadays works on that pattern. The new generation, raised by the media, still believing they'd be rockstars or millionairs one day, who never experienced a war, a big economic depression, got everything stuffed up their a*** and never learned how to lose.
Everything is available at every time. And we don't only rely on that, we demand it. We demand it for us, and the whole world goes down if something, whatever it may be, does not work how it always worked, isn't there how it used to be or isn't how we imagined it. The whole life should be a colourfull dream, and we got much to used to be bedded on roses. And the new generation would do everything, to keep this up.
In a world, where everything is always available, where there are no boarders in any direction, where are the limits for our mind, our actions, our values? Where are values? Is there even something left that could be called a value? What are values? Our generation doesn't even know anymore. There are absolutely no limits left for the abomination between humans. And this is a factor, that will lead to societal annihilation. In order to keep 'our little society' running, i believe we must fix those mental problems by any call.
Admins are doing a great job here, and it's really not on me for judging on the ways they handle things. Being an admin is sometimes hard work, more and more in this times. But as i may can make a suggestion, i think the server, foremost the gaming experience, would greatly benefit, if the admins actions could represent something like a 'light-darwinism'. I experienced, and that is only my opinion, and im sure it's no-one else's, that admins were a bit to soft on that specific first point of our rules: common sense.
I would like to see admins being more consequent, once in defining rules, and next in making sure that they are not violated.
No one benefits from a discussion wether its a ban reason to camp a player in a checkpoint, or to avoid being killed by running into a checkpoint.
And thats only one example.
To speak about the HC4L story: I will not judge the actions taken on Bolo, because i really can't say what i would have done as an admin if suddenly a player has 101 mil and that money should come from gambling. But the HC4L reaction would have needed a faster end. At first an admin's decision is final, so no point in discussing it for 15 minutes. And secondly there's a rule about flaming and spamming, so why on earth let them trash the chat for 15 minutes while noone would win something in that discussion? It would all have been in the rules (read them here:
http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,912.0.html).
Anyways this came to my mind this week:
I think this comic pretty much describes the gaming situation nowadays, and the people who allready saw this, all agreed with it.
Now i want you to post, regarding to what i wrote up there ^, how we can improve this comic on Littlewhitey's.
Read carefully: I will
not accept any
senseless or
trolling replies, neither any
flaming or
disrespecting comments. If you reply:
- stay constructive - be open minded and think about other opinions before you disagree with them - try to comply with FCC standards 
I reserve myself the right to ask an admin to
delete any reply that doesn't go with these simple rules.
Now give opinions and onions.
