Vote ON or OFF?

DARKANG3L · 10-19-2005

Ok when playing online and attempting to vote off teamkillers and the like, I get alot of people arguing between each other and me as to what you choose to vote someone out of the game. Me personally I'm pretty sure it's vote ON to put a vote on someone to get them out of the game, others argue that you have to turn the vote to OFF in order to vote 'off' a player. But I still think OFF is to take your vote off someone, and ON is to put a vote on someone. Sheesh they shoulda just kept the old Socom2 vote system of REMOVE and RETAIN, it's much simpler. So which is it, ON or OFF to vote someone out???

Putting the vote to on is how you get someone out of the room, unfortunatly I've been in a room where we've had to do this.

"voting someone out" is just socom slang basically, when u put the vote on, it means the vote is on. off would be to take the vote OFF

Ya put a vote ON them... that's the syntax.

Not vote them OFF, put a vote ON them.

I know, it's stupid... go back to remove/retain

just reading this helped me, haha i tried voting a guy off and it wasn't working.

i guess you really do learn something new everyday

That is one thing that Ive noticed about the SOCOM series. While its not terribly hard to figure out, the language used is a little sketchy.

its like flipping a light switch if you turn it to the on/upward position it goes on down or off it turns off so just pretend the guy u wanna vote is a lightbulb and you want to make him light up :D
