I dunno about irc but on pub servers I aim for 3 and in CWs I usually get 1-2.
Totally depends on what you are playing though.

Don't worry about K:D I say, just a bunch of nonsense people like to quote around so they can try to find someone that will give them attention.

I have been playing since the beginning. Lord knows how many years that is... I don't count them. I don't look at stats really. Just remember the rule of board games: Get too competitive and everyone will call you a douchebag.

stats are fun cause they give you something to shoot for, and after playing for 3 years I need a bit of competition to keep soldat fun.

Nope.  Not that I don't enjoy being at the top of the scoreboard every once in a while, but I'm in it for the fun.

Hmmm, I didn't know about that.  I thought you had to be admin?
no, it just mutes him to you. He can still speak and everyone else will hear him. now that i think about it, if you are admin and you do this will it mute him for all?

No, there's a seperate admin command for that.
It's /gmute <slotnum> and /ungmute <slotnum>

well some of you guys have played before i have, i started in 1.1.4 and i was a noob till 1.2.1 came out with the non delay barrett (HORRAY!!!1!) since then barrett and knifes been for me.  I like to use stats sometimes (like sk stats prog) to see how well i am with certain guns, and to try guns i am not so good on.

Well you should kinda feel if you are good with one gun or not. I know I am good with m79, little less then good with minimi, and ok with ruger. Basically it just comes down to if you "feel" the gun or not, never try to force a gun on yourself.

I've been playing Soldat for about 3 or 4 years but I just cannot play it anymore because of flat out noobs. No, not the people who use M79's, not the sprayers, not the hackers, not the new people.

I can't play because of the idiots who want to argue with you the moment you enter a server. I haven't been able to go one day without getting in an arguement with some noob on Soldat. Normally it's because someone trys to vote me out cause I'm using a "noob weapon" (like deagles). And it's just annoying.

These little babys who whine about m79's and sprayers AND hackers are just becoming flat out ***s. I don't use an m79, I don't spray but I've realized that it's a part of soldat and I've learned to deal with it. I don't hack, but I've learned that argueing with them isn't going to change ANYTHING

All I want is this.. Does anyone know of a perfect, non-public no-noob server I can be apart of? A PM would be nice. R/S used to be my safe zone, but now even that's overrunned with noobs.

"OMG RUGER.." "OMG!! OMG!!!!!! SPRAYER!!" "YOUR HACKING CAUSE YOU KILLED ME!!!" "If it bleeds we can kill it!"

urgh.. I'll flat out say it, Soldat has a sucky community. There are a lot of decent core players, but because this is a free-ware game it has a retard community, and I expect that. I understand that the majority of Soldat is 11-15 year old immature punks who still wack off to thoughts of holding some girls hand. I get it. But, it's getting to the point now where I can't even play online without getting frustrated out of my mind!

OMG, tell me, are you mentally undevelopped? You complain about the whiners, you say people are immature, but what are you? If you were mature enough you won't be complaining against the noobs on public servers. Who gives a f*ck about the whiners? Just do your job and kill them.

I used to care about stats when I played in U13 a lot, as there was nothing better to do than statwhore it up. After getting involved with the clan scene it was more about winning scrims and cws instead of having some great K:D ratio.
K:D ratio does provide a pretty good indication of how you are doing in a match, but working as a team and winning is way more important than anyone's individual K:D.

if im very skilled with barret now (3 years solid), should i try ruger more? since its similar to barrett in a way :S

I'm generally a friendly guy. My problem isn't that I'm getting in argument after argument with noobs it's that the online Soldat community SUCKS. A lot of my old school friends have quit because of these people who start playing on their servers and the admins do nothing about it. I'm really the only person left that actually plays because this is an awesome game.

That being said, we can all agree there is a lot of players that are just getting on Soldat to annoy people. And we can also all agree that this is scaring off some new players. People like me, who get frustrated easy will not stay long in a game like this if they just started playing. I don't remember what version I started on, pre-1.2 for sure. But then I didn't encounter as many people like today. There was more friendly players then and it was pretty easy to make good friends. In fact I still talk to a lot of people from Soldat.

Maybe some of you are fine with how the Soldat community is going, maybe some of you don't mind the ass holes because you are one yourself. Whatever it is, I'd like to find some way we can change it. I'd invest serious time into helping this community if I knew how.

"never try to force a gun on yourself"

not to force on myself but to try it out, do you think its a good idea to switch to "test"?
