If people here really are interested in race this much, maybe we can convince Iggwilv to run a race gametype in the Maw server once in a while. I doubt he's anywhere near as strict. He also would have the brains not to make so many rules.

If you make a rule and discover that it is broken a lot, you need to change the rule. If the rule removes fun from gameplay, you REALLY need to change the rule. Note that this doesn't apply to real life. We shouldn't change a law because it is broken a lot. We should change a server rule that is so extensive and broad because innocent people are getting banned for doing nothing wrong in these Race servers.

If you're not in a hog go find one. Oh, wait, you're not allowed to walk. Take one from an enemy? If I was allowed to kill, I would. It'd have to be a damn good takedown, with me having to just stand there. They can't run me over though, and they don't have a gunner. I guess we're both safe. I'm going to lose the race if I just stand here. Good God, now I'm being warned for camping. Will it ever end?

LMAO, I just got kicked three times from a BFM server.

Here are their rules, and here are my counterattacks to these rules:
Rule 1: Avoid map-walking. If you see a Hog, you must use it!
Well, that's encouraging; lemme get this straight, asshat...if I spawn out in the middle of Ice Fields, don't I have to walk?

Rule 2: This is a family server, no cussing.
LOL, it's also an M-rated game, moron!

Rule 3: No chase killing.
Oh...so now I can't drive a hog over someone that's about 10 feet away...what's next? No breathing allowed?

Rule 4: No arguing with the clan members.
Okay. I'll agree to stop arguing when they agree to stop smoking crack.

Rule 5: No using hog turrets without a driver.
So if a driver dies, and I'm left in the turret, I have to get out and run?

Rule 6: No camping.
Heh...I was kicked for camping because I blew up a hog with a rocket launcher....it's a little thing called defense, you imbecile. You have a jeep, I have a gun. It's that simple.

Rule 7: No throwing grenades/rocketing your own team.
Hmm....that's weird...because last time I checked, friendly fire is OFF in your servers....and we also start with infinite grenades...

I have broken all 7 of these crappy rules. They just make these rules so they can win. It's all they're good at.

"BFM" probably stands for "BIG FREAKING MORONS". [/rant]

I just realized something that counters the point, "we can cuss, the game is M-rated."

In the campaign when Johnson cusses, is the cussing directed at you? Is it intended to hurt you, degrade you, demoralize, or unsettle you? No.

That's why cussing is a bad thing for the most part. It is almost always intended to hurt someone. No wonder these race clans and my clan don't allow it.

It's not the fact that you're cussing so much as that you're trying to harm someone where it counts the most: inside their head. My clan doesn't allow insults or bashing for this reason.

Now I understand the whole no-cussing stance. I hope you can see this from my newly found point of view.

Race clans are still too strict. I am disgusted with them. It's for the fun of driving the hog and racing instead of killing, I know, but killing shouldn't be so looked-down-upon. It shouldn't be taboo to try to sabotage the other team's hog with a rocket and take it for yourself.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

Lol, I went in the -JR- server under the name "Fook Mi". It was about 30 minutes until someone noticed. Then some admin said, "Fook Mi, please change your name." Then I say, "OMG I CAN'T SEE TYPE AGAIN!!!" At the end of the game, I say, "MERDE!", which is another word for the s-word. Funny how someone in there knew what it meant, lol.
i just love it when someone runs me over in the bfm server and i go "MOUCHE!" because the admins are too unintelligent to realize what that means.

^That's just for the two n-words. (forgive me for just skimming the article) Yes, Sgt. Johnson cusses, but not at you. Well, what if said "dammit"? I'm not directing it towards anybody...

Banned from two BFM servers now (2 and 3). One was for coming in as Fook Mi and saying the F word and leaving (a couple times). Then an admin banned me :(

The second time was SOOOOOOO RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the worst of the worst. I killed an idiot who didn't want to race and humped his body slowly up and down. Some mofo called bfm Jay said, "No crouching on dead bodies." OMG CAN YOU GUYS BE MORE LAME?! I ask why and say that it's not included in the stupid rules (no cussing, respect others, just race, etc.), but he says it's a ban for a rule he JUST MADE UP?! Wow.

So I was contemplating all of this while getting on TeamSpeak (minimizing Halo) and then I came back into the server.

"The Server Operator has banned you from the server."

OMFG!!!! For what?! Nothing?! He warned me once and I didn't do it again but this is so stupid. For being afk? No warning for being banned either, wow.

EVERY (yes I know all of them) Race Clan < all

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

We should find their forums, all join, and all of us just start showing them how dumb they actually are. And then watch as they gotta slowly ban over a 1000 people. Or better, just ignore us. But I doubt that they would allow that, because they would half to ban themselves for ignorance.

This has happened to me to but, was this just a normal server? I know christian servers will kick/ban you if you swear. The only reason i can see why some one would care about what you say is if there parents are in the room and they could get introble. I think that swearing in full words is something you could be banned or kicked over, but denfinitly not abreviations.
For example omg could definitly mean Oh My Gosh. So i believe if aree asked not to swear thats fair, but if you are asked to not use abreviations thats too much. The same thing applys for names, if the name has bad words init i could believe being asked to leave but if it says something liek 'a MEXICAN' thats pushing it, for all we know the person is a mexican. Hosts don't have to be jerks they just can't be bugging us for every little thing and being quik to ban.

Their rules say:
1. No Cussing Or Inappropriate Actions
2. Respect your Fellow Players/Admins
3. It's Race, not Slayer

It says NOTHING about humping. No rules about "actions". So I get banned. Golly gee thanks guys.

Dude, that kids got ****ed up parents if they don't allow swearing, but let him play excessively violent games. Seriously, that seems really messed up to me.

Hello? I'm fourteen and my father lets me play Halo. He realizes I'm responsible enough to play rated M games, or at least Halo. There's nothing wrong with the younger crowd playing rated M games just as long as they're mature enough and their parents allow them to.

Wow.. I just got banned from a BFM server...it was on Gephyrophobia, I was actually trying to race, and this idiot starts team nading, and I say " Geez, go away, you -blam!-" and then one BFM said " watch it", so I'm like "Okie".

Next I get into the hog and try to get my last nav in order to complete a lap, and one dude, a BFM member, takes me down with his rocket, and instead of following his own server's rule, he waits about and then takes down the other upcoming hog, so I say " So much for obeying the rules, huh?" and he says "What's that supposed to mean" so I try to respond in a joking manner and say " Dee dee dee!! you're camping.." and he says "I got no hog" and I tell him " Mines landed right next to you, and so did the other one you shot down where you were camping", he kept ignoring the fact that he waited there at least a minute to take down another hog and didn't get on the other.... so I say " Quit running away from the facts..camper.." and next thing you know, I get banned. I guess being a smart-ass gets you banned too....what's even more hilarious was that I had 3 laps and he barely made 1.

Ya that happens way too much. For example you're in a gunner seat and your driver dies. Then an enemy rocket hog comes near and you just kill them cuz they're going to shoot you. One of them happens to be a bfm member and tells you no hog camping. -_-'

Then when THEY do the same thing you complain about it and they're the ones who are always right. 0_o

Screwed up nerds...

I said Fart one time in a BFM server and then one BFM dude said:"Please watch your language, this is a family server."Then all of my team and I starting saying in all caps FART! until we all got kicked from the server. Also one time I was in a BFM server and one guy had a username called:"Foodnipple." And the BFM said to go change it. I guess BFM never heard of the Foodnipple grunt easter egg on the Maw campaign level. I am a friend of the Circus of Carnage and they do have rules like no cursing, camping, sniping, all that regular stuff, but they don't enforce as strictly as the BFM retards.

I think Everyone Anti-BFM needs to help make one huge cool server with not overly-strict rules and get those BFM -blam!- out of business. In other words, make a Maw Race server that allows cursing, walking, and actually being able to kill someone without getting penalized then people will go to our server while no one goes to the BFM servers which will make the BFM break apart slowly. Without BFM servers, the BFM can't live on. Think of it as the Flood: Without a host to feed on, the Flood will die out. Players of Halo are the flood's food. BFM is the flood. Without us to go to their servers, BFM members will leave the clan until there are no BFM members left.

So, does the anti-BFM crowd go to their server because they love to race, or because they like to mess with BFM?

I know what you guys are talking about, I get kicked all the time for swearing. Its a freaking game there IS going to be swearing because, you cant just say

"Oh you darn gol urn silly man, you killd me, now I have to cetch you and killd you ahurahur"

Cause thats retarded, games like halo are always going to have people who swear, period, and either get over it, or throw away Halo.

I enjoyed doing swearbys on their servers until I had finally got banned from em.

Kind of shows what kind of guys they are....by the way, the nerdy voice is the BFM guy.
