...as long as you are the commander of the OMO side.
Last night on Daqing Oilfields, I was the commander of the PLA and our airfield "UNCAP" base was artied 3 times by the opposing USMC commander. All three times I said something, but nothing was done about it. Early on in my playing a mistakenly artied an uncap base on your server and was kicked within 30 seconds without a warning. It should be noted that I was NOT on the OMO team for that game. I understand that it is your server and you make the rules, BUT if you have the rule you should enforce it.

Sorry that you got kicked for the reason you stated. It is easier to deal with rules violation if someone on the OMO side notices a violation than if a rogue on the OMO side is committing the violation. Don't sweat the kick. You are a regular and will be welcome back.
The rule is the rule whether or not it is the OMO or other side. If the OMO side was doing it, try to get the attention of an Admin. If an OMO commander was doing it (doubtful since it is pounded into everyone's head), it will be addressed. The chat isn't always the easiest to get a hold of an admin, but be persistent. Someone will eventually see it.

This is more friendly advice than a criticism.
I noticed the last few times I have played on the OMO server, that it has been all OMO on one side (stacking).
First, that is not a good idea from an admin point of view. You should always have admins playing on both sides. This keeps everyone honest.
Second, team stacking leads to uneven teams and bad games. The other night on OMO I was on the non OMO side and our team was beat 4 rounds in a row and by large amounts. Good for my score, as I was at the top of my team, but bad for the long term success of the server.
This issue had become a point of contention around the BCO servers and we put a stop to it. We all want to play on the same side as our buddies, but anything over a full squad (6 players) on one side and nothing on the other is stacking. The only way we ever do that now on BCO is if we have a clan on the other side that wants to battle (i.e. if HEL or OMO, etc come in numbers and want to be on one side.)
The stacking became such an issue that we put it in our admin/BCO code of conduct that you may not stack.
If you ever do see more that 6 on one side and no one on the other at BCO, please tell us. Sometimes we get lost in the game and don't realize it, but we really do try to keep it even. When OMO comes over and a bunch are on one side, we may move some BCO over to the other side just to keep it even.
P.S. A heads up that OMO forces will be invaded this week sometime. Just a rumor going around.

I noticed the same thing Bloody, but figured if I complained, I'd just get a biatchslap upside my head cus I'm annoying as heck anyhow.
Now, I'm killed often and frequently by OMO even when they are split up, but when they all stack the side and are on voice its terribly lopsided on a public server. I stick around for a match or 2 then leave if its apparent its not changing.
THen again,...its their server, their rules.

Bloody,
I understand your point and appreciate the advice and insight.  But I am not sure I agree that it is as relevant to our server as it may be to yours.
It seems to me that we do enjoy playing all on one side, for the most part. Up until recently it has proven to more of a detriment  then an advantage. Over time we have all improved individually and as a team. Not to mention some of the highly skilled regulars (Boom Head Shot) and new members that have joined our ranks in the last couple of months. We are not as serious a group as yourselves and tend to be more interested in just having fun then winning. A large part of that fun is the dialog (if you can call it that) on Vent. So when we were losing most matches when grouped on one side we did not split up. We toughed it out and tried to improve. Now that we have improved, somewhat anyways, I don't think we need to split up. We still lose our share. As always, just my thoughts as no one OMO can speak for all.
Cheers!

Well as Far as Festy goes...I shoot the guy even if he's on my team. That's just how I feel. Bloody's original point is one that makes sense to me, however I'm one of the few OMOs that enjoys killing his OMO brethren. We'll see what happens. I'm sorry you lost 4 in a row though Bloody that must have been one of our better nights for sure.
btw, jk Fest

Thanks for all the replies. It wasn't that big of a deal, it is only a game and he really didn't affect the play that much, but it was a little frustrating because I have seen other players really chastised because of similar rule breaking.
On the "all OMO on one side" note, I really don't care one way or the other. Sometimes the other side gets it handed to them and sometimes they rise up and kick @$$. As commander of the non OMO side last night we won a blowout, a huge come from behind win on Karkand and lost a 198-0 blowout.
I really enjoy your server and always have fun playing.
thanks.

And everybody complains when I am not on their side...
Out of curiosity, did the other side have all the flags? You are allowed to arty an uncapable IF, and only IF, you posses all flags.
I know it was not me since I didn't even play that map last night.

All this just cause we promote having bad players on the non-OMO side.
Killing festy is cool, regardless of side.
Petri is our artillery specialist and will kill anything and everything within range.
Have we got problems or what?

They did not have all the flags.
It was not an OMO.
I don't remember the name, but that does not matter.

I've played few nights when we didn't get our butts handed to us more than a few times. It seems to me that until such time as we OMOs raise our proficiency as a team to the level of BCO that "stacking is a non issue." For me, a major part of the enjoyment of playing this game is playing with my OMO Bros. However, I see nothing wrong with jumping to the other side if the rounds continue to be drastically lopsided. (IMHO)

Oh yes I remember this from last night. Sorry I didn't notice your other complaints or else I would have said something to the admins. But yeah, putting a bunch of asterisks in front of the global chat will generally get their attention. I only noticed the first complaint was too busy blowing up your team's tanks and attack choppers with the TOW. Trust me, I hate when a non-OMO is commanding on our side, so it is to my benefit that we kick the lazy-eyed twat out.
It is a complete disconnect from what I am used to, which is when Petrified, Lavitra, Older, Cadaver, Specimen constantly give updates on the situation over Ventrilo. If I'm in a fast moving vehicle like an APC or transport watch out cuz I'm heading there to bust some heads.
On the stacking side, well honestly we lose our fair share of games earlier in the evening and then start kicking ass and taking names later on in the evening when we have less smacktards and more teamplayers, regulars and OMO members on our side.
I also don't like playing on the non-OMO side because I don't feel right killing my comrades in arms. Especially when I have gotten to know them well, and ESPECIALLY after that one 2 hour Sharqi match when I heard their frustrations over Vent I felt I needed to get off the channel. I was frustrated too that night, so I don't feel like experiencing that anytime soon.

I give updates over Ventrillo? Did I leave my mic on again?
Ya know, I recall when you first started playing on the server. I had great fun teamining with you as you would C4 the other team. Mind you, were were often on the oposite team to the rest of the OMO, but it was darn fun.

Don't fool yourselves OMO, you guys improve all the time.
We at BCO really like playing with and against you guys and have noticed a marked improvement over time.
We at BCO have a core group that are Hardcore all the way and are now in the CAL League, but we also have a bunch of players that just like to have fun. We too have improved over time, and at one point we could have "stacked" teams on our servers and gotten away with it, but not anymore. That is why I bring it up to you guys. The more you improve, the more your going to see people not coming back to your server to get an @$$ kicking if they happen to land on the wrong side.
It's also not a situation where you have to be split up 50/50. For instance last night on our server we had myself, 2 other BCO and a HEL guy (along with a bunch of no names) and we won by 3 points over 8 BCO and 5 other guys from a clan. (Pedro is so scared of the HEL guys now that he said he was going to leave and go to OMO if any more HEL guys showed up  ).
Another issue is the fact that rules are so different everywhere you go. We allow "camping/arty on mains" as we feel that there are so many ways to get around stuff like that in BF2. One server I was on the other day was like OMO and didn't let you kill at all in the other main. It was BS cause I got killed 6 times in a row at my main. I finally spammed the chat with "RULES" "ADMIN" "I AM GETTING KILLED IN MY MAIN". I did that about 20 times and finally someone said, "yea, read the rules guys, the next one that does it will get kicked". Gee thanks. Don't make rules you can't enforce. I think I have played my last round on that server.

Well I'll chime in here; I like playing this game because of Vent! That's where alot of the fun is. My old server had rooms to go to for squads, sides, etc. and most were empty because we ALL wanted to talk to everyone. Course at OMO sometimes we ALL TALK AT ONCE, but that can be fun too. So I think that's why we "stack", cause you can't be on different sides and still ALL be together in Vent! It's just not that fun without hearing all of my OMO buds!

LOL Bloody...I just dont like the "questionable" play some of those guys pull..A few of those guys I trust, but alot of them I dont.( expecially after I put 3 shootys into the back of one the other night with him standing still, for him to turn and one shot me...Im sorry it was BS).Ive been put on the odd side in both servers..sometimes its a challenge, depending how many morons are on your team..To be honest I prefer to play with friends, expecially if you have a squad that works together..And it really sucks when you cant seem to get it together, but at the same time Ive seen our server die off early because it was one sided. So just as your players evolve and you seem to be getting quite a few more, so will the "guidlines"....Just as you cant all be on the same side when 20 people are playing and 16 all have onthe same tag..lol

Yep, like Tread said.
And Tread, I was just kidding with you. I am the one that has had such a crap run lately.
Oh and Bedpan, you can be in one channel and be on 2 sides. It's actually sometimes more fun that way. Making fun of each other, calling each other out, and such. Can't tell you how many times I have told someone to "stay right there, I'll be back."

HAHA!! I remember that! C4'ing a whole column of armour. I was fortunate that armour convoys tend to stick pretty close together so I was able to blow a tank and APC with two packs and the APC with the other two packs. Fun times indeed!
Bloody, heh, I've said that to Rodent when he knifed me in the back one time on Sharqi, and a couple of time to Pedro when he kept sniping me (ya bastard!!).
But I have always wondered what you guys say on your Vent channel when I kill your squad single-handedly.

Arty of uncap bases IS allowable on OMO...
