How to know who the admin is

[[TKC]TheHeckler!]

Ok, many of you are aware of this simple trick...for those who aren't I'll let them in on it.

If you join a server and want to know who the admin is bring up the tab screen and look at the pings. Whoever is the admin will have the lowest ping, and it will usually be around 10 or less (it can be up to around 20 sometimes, but it's rare). Also look at the names of the player's...if it's the [414] clan server...rest assured that the admin will usually be a [414] clan member (unless he doesn't want others to know he's playing).

Of course there is always the console command to look them up, but you can use this method if your fingers are feeling lazy.

Or, to be 100% sure, just go into console and type "listadmins" without the quotes.

Yup, that's what I meant when I said "in case your figers are feelings too lazy".

But the great thing about using this simple trick is that it works on all games, not just Vietcong. Most games don't have a console command to let you know who the admin is like vietcong does (as far as I know). So this could help you out in that situation. ;D

This doesnt always work...some people use rcons and join their own servers and have "high" ping like everyone else does...dont know if vc has rcon :/
