    I am Zenithas. Faction leader for the Cult of the Green Sun, maker of a 256-bit, high-quality texture pack, and "asshole admin" for star.the-rebel-alliance.com:4242.

    Other threads I keep an eye on - Nameless' Ship Guide, Morhe's Dock Guide, my request for help with a new guide


    About me in a nutshell:

    Some experience with being an IT specialist, and a programmer, but my main love is actually (and ironically) my family. I'm a father to a young girl, ex-navy, a fully-fledged and ordained reverend of the Baptist church, and a bona-fide cripple, with only one fully working leg and one fully working arm. Still have the meat from the others, but it's pretty much for balance rather than effect.

    High typing speed, I can sometimes rapidfire as quickly as stenographers. Then my arm derps out and I go to about 25% accuracy at best, forcing me to slow the hell down. No real precision there now, so I'll shoot like a stormtrooper in PvP, which tends to discourage me from taking part.


    Ship Design:

    I do ship designs typically using my server's custom blocks. If you don't like it, well, you can feel free to modify my ships to include vanilla textures and blocks. Your choice.

    My actual love is in station design. Ships I build tend to be function over form, and often result in looking like the lovechild of a beetle and a tank. Some are just plain ugly. They fly, though, and I try to keep them unique and functional.

    If I'm not working on my own ships, I'll happily retrofit a downloaded cruiser or battleship to suit my faction's green-black color scheme, and often to actually have the ability to drive without killing it's power banks. Seriously, some ship designs...


    Controversy:

    Sometimes, people accuse me of being an ass. This is because my best days include an attitude that can be summed up as "Ron Swanson". Amazingly, somehow this irritates people who think that my not caring is a sign of my not caring. On the other hand, I applaud their observational skills.

    This comes through in my admin style - hence the title. Break the rules, I won't listen to your excuses. Don't want your ship to end up destroyed and losing the 10% credit penalty that comes on the server? Don't risk breaking the rules. Yes, you lagged, you didn't know about the rules, you couldn't read the giant sign right next to the server spawn saying the rules. Still doesn't change the loss of ship and credits.


    Contact:

    I have skype, hang out in my server's mumble, and obviously have email. Need any of them? PM me in here. Include why you need that contact, I'm tired of people adding my skype and then thinking that makes me willing to overlook what they do on the server.

    I may sound mad. I don\'t get mad. That implies I care enough about the troll/idiot to actually react to their statement. Though sometimes people might mistake my usually terse mannerisms for being irritated, the obvious thing is, I was like that before they tried to speak.

    So no. I won\'t get pissed off. But if someone does irk me, you won\'t have to get involved.

    Ron Swanson isn\'t the best person to base your personality on. But I\'m glad to see you at least are a fair admin, too many pussy admins letting idiots slip through the net. Welcome to the forum.

    So what your introduction says to me is \"just don\'t come into my server or you\'il get banned for peanuts\" ö.Ö

    I might be wrong but that doesn\'t sound like a server someone wants to play on.

    Yeah, that\'s to be expected, as well as the part where you care about all. Not really an ass admin ^^

    But, about the detail of strictness in the \"no lag\" rule...

    You can\'t properly find the cause of lag, or the one causing it, in all situations. Especially when the lag symptoms can point to a wrong cause/source for being provoked by something done before that symptom) As well as lag spikes are not always caused by players, for real (it\'s always related to them, but not always the cause). Already saw a case where one got banned just for thinking he was the cause (mentioning it could be his fault), without him knowing that he wasn\'t doing anything to cause it and was just another victim of the lag spike, he just got the lag and got worried, which is normal counting that rule.

    Just flying around long enough causes the constant tunelling effect load to increase somebody\'s ping and if combined with enough load, cause lag spikes in everyone\'s pings, so all pings would be randomly big, where the one \"causing\" it is not the one with the highest ping, so the highest ping guys are not guilty when everyone\'s lagging. Just as example of cases where common judge can go wrong.
