What is it with the alleged pros of this games, and this case a clanner rage-quitting over mines in a low-player game. What is it exactly that makes a player think mines are unfair. As some know....it's a thing...
So I'm on Axis BY MYSELF vs Deathby and a clanner, and despite getting to the gold with 13+ minutes left, one of them rage-quits because i start defending with mines. My obvious first thought is, "ffs you have an extra player and it's hard enough being axis on a 1v1 game".
Some know I don't care at all about mines, no matter the player count. If you can't win it, oh well, it's not an arcade game robbing you of quarters.
What is it about mines. I'd like to know.

If I give my opinion about this other "agreement", I'll end up being the bad guy AGAIN, so I'll just stay away from this.

USE the mines, thats what there for. If everyone could spot them avoid them etc..there would be no point in having them. Ya I might get annoyed after dieing from them a few times, but it really doesn't take that long to get enough XP to spot. I also get annoyed when trying to use !gib, !kill, !ban etc on Scout and it doesn't work so.. play on. BTW Oz, Im feeling like such a bad bad guy right now..im just not sure that being a bad guy and being the bad guy mean the same thing

Is there a Battery-style agreement on this? You weren't the bad guy on the Battery thing at all - no bad, no good. Just a conundrum that's best viewed upon by the letter of the law, which I agree with to avoid the blood-curdling tirades. Mines on the other hand. I'm really quite curious. I want to hear why it's so horrible to use them in a 1axis vs 2allies situation or something similar.
There is no commonly spoken agreement about this, only "PFFT, mines?!..../quit" when its not quite working out. I NEVER mine in a 1v1 match, but i never whine when ppl use them. Part of the game, y'all... :\
I'll follow any agreement if it makes sense, as i will still with Battery on Allies, but I haven't heard much on this at all though. What is your opinion on mines?

I'm not aware of any agreement about mines, nor would I encourage one. I could see someone also saying "PFFT, artty?!..../quit." To each his own, but no rules are being broken.

I think mines are an annoyance; however, they are part of the game. It takes me forever to be able to spot them but I accept their value in the game. The ONLY time I would think mines would not be allowed is on an uneven match of 2v1 or 3v2, you get the point, where the team with more players would not be allowed to mine since they already have the advantage.
So as far as I am concerned... MINE AWAY!!!

If game is unbalanced (1 v 2) then go with mines... what I dislike is when you are 1 offense vs 2 defense, you have no stars (close to 0 xp) while they both have 1000+ xp and they plant mines everywhere... that's kind of lame.. especially if they have a medic on top of that... it makes it to easy for them...
Anyway, I kind agree with oZ. It's pointless to get into that kind of thread. I see so many people with no fairplay while there is low pop on server... and even with high pop (a.k.a. very good players joining the team that already has all the best op players of the server and stacking just a little bit more teams and making the game just a little bit more frustrating and uneven for the weakest team).
At other said, there is no rules nor agreements for that... just comon sense which mean keeping in mind the skills of players to try to keep the game fun and balanced for everyone. Personaly, if I'm the best player around and no one can do as good as me, i try to swap team often, i try to avoid playing medic to give them a higher chance to have me and stuff like that. Or if there is a 2 offense vs 3 defense, i try to encourage the defending team to not have 2 medic because it makes it very unfair for the attacking team (cuz most of time, attacking team doesn't have the choice to have an engi to get objectives so they can only have 1 medic). But well, that's just me because i care keeping game fun for everyone. I dislike incredibly unbalanced games. It's fine for some time but become very frustrating when you notice no one else has the desire to make the game better for the weakest team (a.k.a keeping teams unfair for many maps in a row when it's obvious some people should swap to make it better).

lol @forth option. I'd allow even panzer, so... frustration is not a thing for which a server should be concerned.
Greatings, PHB.

Again, it depends on the situation. If you are less than 7 guys playing on the serv, with low xp and battle sense, imho, landmines should be used only if axis are stronger than allies, to balance the game.
You cannot make this an agreement or so, but as regular players or admins or whatever, we have to think about this, and a tight and fun game is better than an easy victory (yes, landmines are not fun and unfair in some cases).

I think they are obnoxious in low player games but I do also hate artillery. I pretty much hate anything that doesn't actually require skill to kill me. but it doesn't ruin my day so I don't care either way.

Does it not however require skill to anticipate the path of the enemy, so as to plant smartly? If I don't have those hot Lvl.4 binocs, I ALWAYS avoid the obvious path, and jump apprehensively with one eye closed if needed. It makes for a more tactful offense too when avoiding - keeps ya sharp and you learn planting patterns.

I think that mines are always open to engy discretion. I do think it is obnoxious to plant them in a low player situation in which teams are unbalanced. For example, in a 2 vs 1, if the team of 2 is planting them.
