For reasons involving a feature inherent to Gema and general silliness involving it, I will only say this and no more in regards to it, but that the Gema servers have moved to our own masterserver, to 'help' preserve the 'consistency' of the Official masterserver for newer players... *said while rolling eyes
G3MA 3TH3R /connect se.aox-ac.net 2222
Gema Koto /connect jp.aox-ac.net 2222
Gema Nova /connect la.aox-ac.net 2222
3t3rn@l G3m@ /connect fl.aox-ac.net 2222
Windy Gema /connect ch.aox-ac.net 2222
Gema Olympus /connect wa.aox-ac.net 2222
i would also like to ask your consideration should you need a place to register match, gema, or experimental servers...
You can use the switch in your server's configuration:
```
-maox-ac.net
```
If you wish to view the servers available through this alternative masterserver in your client, you will need to use:
```
-maox-ac.net --mastertype=0
```
You can use this masterserver to browse all of our match servers, as well...
Cheers!

To be fair, I would say it is indeed gameplay affecting. If I were new, went into a server, killed a couple of people (in a fps game), get kicked / ban, yeah..I'd be mind fucked.

Yeah - I moved them voluntarily for sure....
My argument is that it states it pretty clearly in the server info and in the motd, and the spam info alternates it as a message throughout play...
But yeah...

I am not saying you were wrong..I guess they are just looking at the perspective of a new player / non-English speakers.

However, all he people he killed when on the gema server would be pretty pissed as well...
I do understand where you're coming from, I just think that if I were on the server, if someone connected after gema killing twice, I would be banning him ASAP. If he connected after gema killing a couple of times, the people on the server would be banning him.
It just enforces the basic rule of the gema server. Which is written on the top of the screen when you connect, and periodically flashes up.
In my very humble opinion, it's fine.

What if say they're new to the game, or do not know how to read English?

That was the perspective of the Dev I spoke with....
I understand it - I just think it is silly because padfoot is right - they will get kicked or banned anyway - The autokick was just designed so gema players wouldn't need an admin there all the time...

If they don't know how to read english, then tough. They will get kicked or banned anyway, and if they start complaining on other servers in say french, then eventually someone who understands the language will explain it to them.
It just makes it more convenient for the majority of people.
Where you can't keep everyone satisfied, you keep as many people satisfied as possible.
Unfortunately, well, you can't keep everyone happy.

Actually, in my times of playing, a good bit of AC players don't speak or read (much) English..so no, you are not making it convenient for the "majority". Anyways, let's not keep this going any longer.

Must... Have... Last... Word...
I'm not sure you quite understand what I'm saying. The majority of players are the ones who understand how gema works. Whether because someone told them in their language or because they can read english. Either way, people deserve to be able to play on a gema server without being constantly killed. And I've yet to see a gema server anywhere being used for pub play. So I think it's fair to say the majority of people on gema servers understand how they work.
