So far I have only seen one tank stealer in the retail version of the game...the demo though, wow...every game is loaded with them! The last game I was in though I was nod. GDI comes in with an APC full of engies and they get out. I steal it, kill them and get out to repair. Guy jumps in, I'm like I stole that fair and square  He gets out, says sorry and I get back in, happily drive to the other base and blow up the barracks

That would not be fair for people like me taht steals lots of enemy tanks as the other side vote me off.
One thing you should learn is that never jump out of the tank and repair it unless no one is around.

Yeah, I was playing the city map yesterday trying to organize an APC rush to take down GDI's power plant. Every d@mn time I bought an APC, some @ssburglar went and stole it and wasted it on trying to fight an incoming light tank! IDIOTS!

Hmmm. I have never heard that happening before.

**Suprise** I was on of them! Actually, I still try to steal tanks only if the tank originally belonged to the [other] team.

Have you ever gotten out to repair a vehicle and then, when you get back in, have someoen swearing and cussing at you say "VEHICLE STELEAER! SETOLE MY VHELIDE! GIVE DIT BAKC NOW!!!O@#2." And then they chase you around for five minutes trying to get you out of the vehicle YOU bought 5 minutes ago, and now the PP is blown . So you can't even repair your vehicle cause this twerp is tailing you .

Or those newbies who do not know that they did not actually buy a vehicle, who run up to yours and sit there spamming "Get out of the vehicle". They did not even pay attention/listen for the "keep em comin" sounds made when you buy a vehicle... What morons...

Heh, this one time I bought a medium tank in Under. The thing comes fresh out of the factory and this guy walks up to it,and tries to get in. Of course, the idiot doesn't seem to realize that the thing is freshly bought and won't let him in...meaning it belongs to someone else. So, I enter the medium tank, being the rightful owner and all, and the guy immediately steals my gunner seat. I tell him to "get out of the vehicle," in which he responds "WTF?!!?!!1111 THS IS MY TNK!!!111 GET OUT TANK STEALER!!!111" Of course, I start driving, flashing my usual n00b binds messages that explain just how vehicles work. The guy still thinks it's a tank he bought. Long story short, I get ****ed off that the n00b is not shooting the cannon and just drive us both straight into the obelisk...when the tank blew up, he was immediately fried, while my score jumped about 300 points because of a quick bombing thank's to the guy's "distraction"...

You'll get an ulcer complaining about every noob tactic and thought provoking thing you see them do. It's not unheard of that you buy a vehicle at the same moment someone else buys the vehicle..but you get yours and he doesn't. They OBVIOUSLY didn't see that their money didn't change from the purchase..so they think YOU are stealing THEIR freshly bought vehicle...which just didn't happen. How about instead of treating noobs like idiot cattle, try letting them know what happened. Half the time they won't understand what the hell your saying to them..but there's the off chance a noob will figure it out...from your instruction...and be a better, more patient player for it. My 2 cents. [ April 04, 2002: Message edited by: [FSW]WhiteWolf ]

what ww needs to add is like a security system for the tanks so that only the user who bought it can use it but still have a command so that it still can made so anyone can use it (eg. someone with heaps of money wants to give away tanks) but this shouldnt count for enemys they should still be able to steal units from thier enemys.

Someone took my tank the other day, so I got into a lighter tank than the one he took and pushed him into the Ob of Light. But I still wasn’t done yet. He bought another big tank. I tried to push him into the Ob of Light again, but he was slippery enough to get away. So I pushed him into a wall and held him there. He was all swearing and stuff. I just kept repeating, “You shouldn’t have taken my tank!” I don’t understand why he wouldn’t quit the game and join a new server, because I played him in 5 more games. Five more games of pushing him around, pushing him away from battle so he couldn’t get points. I never let up…. Ever! Yesterday, heheheh, I saw him again. He was surprised when I started pushing him into the GDI base and the AGT took him out. He was yelling, WTF! And all I said was, “You shouldn’t have taken my tank”. You see, I remembered his name and I’ll never forget it and if I ever see him in a game ever again, I’ll do the same thing again and again and again! Because that’s just the way it’s going to be. You wanna steal tanks, you think that’s funny. Then prepare to be pushed around… A LOT!

As more people buy Renegade stealing will increase, maybe WW will patch up a solution, shouldn't be hard, no one can steal my weapons, even the ones I pick up.
To PO a aim stealer, one thing I did last night was to drive tank back into the base way to the back where there is no action at all, park and go get a bite to eat or p, I came back and the guys still in my tank shooting at our people no harm done, but stuborn, so I turned down the volume and let him play in the immobile tank til he finally got out and soon after left the game all togeather.
When the war factory gets destroyed ppl think they can steal or jump into anything that moves, not while I'm around!

The only time i'll steal is if the vehicle is in danger of falling into enemy hands. How many times do you have to see a freindly tank start shooting up your own base. I don't mind if it is a case of stealing to protect, but the people that steal a vehicle because they just want it are a problem. Stealing from the enemy is an act of war and should be done whenever possible. Stealing from your own team is an act of treason and should be punishable by torture until death. A very slow painfull death

Yes, agreed. you know what would be real cool, is if there was a patch that would put a theif in a GDI or NOD prison upon their next death, lock them up for say 2-3 mins that would be a good solution and also funny.
And that goes for planting C4 on teammates, they end up spawning in a GDI cell. ha

I'm hoping against hope that this means that you have found a way to bind messages to hotkeys. I soooo want this to gbe a part of renegade...please tell me there is a way to do it.
As for the stealin' thang. I remember in my first few games in demo, thinking I'd bought a tank, when I really hadn't, and getting my hackles up when I saw someone get into a tank I'd thought I'd just bought. But, thankfully, someone very nicely suggested that I check my credits. Indeed, I had not bought the vehicle. I still think of the nice person who took the time to explain my error rather than flame me. Due to this patience extended to me, I try to do the same. Of course, if the pay no attention....well, anything goes.
If you steal a tank to avoid it's destruction, or see one sitting around for a long time without an owner, I find it's a good idea to broadcast the fact that you've just taken the tank. If no one speaks up, it's yours. If it belongs to someone, they can safely come and claim it.
Civilized behavior usually gives the best results. Except toward the enemy. Kick the crap out of them

Oops...****, I keep playing games where I DO know how to bind messages, whenever I come upon a game where I can't, I just forget! Sorry to get your hopes up. Alas, I have been trying to work a pathetic bind out of the Renegade code, but nothing I have tried appears to be accepted by the games configuration. Oh well, I'l get it some day.
