This is something we do for fun.

It's not fun when you are told you can't do it by some over zealous server admin who thinks he can actually recreate World War Two, which of course he cannot do, ever.

Trying to walk you way home would be a pitty attempt to recreate WW2. Deathkick is a penalty for hotshots.

It's a game after all. Banning someone for 24 hours from a server means never to see him again there.

I think that "banning" is not what he meant.
Feuerfalke means that X-pilot won't be able to fly in this server for Y-time.
If this player wants to play in this server, he can always join with another nickname.

I think that such feature might be added in the end, translating how the online world will be (from Oleg's latests posts).
If we see a model like ADW's, with a war going on in a 24-hours operating server, then there should be a way to limit pilots if the "war rules" need this.

By the way, where is Oleg?
We got used of him

Today he's out of office AFAIK. Tomorrow he will be back.
