Server changes.

[MikeK]

Hello, Krew

I'd like to discuss and request a few server 1 changes.

1) I think that 30-35 players is waaaayyy too much. We already had a poll a year or two ago and the Krew decided to have 25 public slots. I know that we want to be in top-100 servers and Ik there are always some spectators so I'd like 27 or 28 public slots and a cople of private slots...

2) We have a lot more palyers these days, what means there are a lot more spawn campers. I'd really appreciate a new rotating warning about spawncamping. I'm really tired of warning 10 people a game (and I'm not the only one) and I think this message might help a bit.

3) Chat logs: 610071 (kkk)terrorden: sniper onli.
Yes, I've read the rules and I know them by heart but some new players clearly take (kkk) {kkk} and stuff like that like our tags. We don't have a lot of guys wearing tags like that, actually terrorden is the only one I've seen recently. Though he causes problems. He doesn't spik inglish and he camps like a dick, tries to make others play snipers only, etc. If I were new to the server and I saw him, I'd think he's a clan member, probably admin and I'd simply leave the server forever. Thus, we have 1 regular who makes new players leave, especially when there are no real members in the server. I'd rather make him (and future (kkk) {kkk) \kkk\ guys) remove the tags or get rid of them than lose a lot of new players.

So, to sum everything up.
1) Let's reduce the number of public slots to 27-28.
2) We need the 'no spawn camping' rotating message.
3) (kkk) tags represent the Krew and they should be banned (not on sight, but verbally ask -> warn -> kick -> tempban).

So what do you guys think?

I can't post 3 polls so I'll post a multiple choice poll so you can vote for each of the three propositions.

Thanks for reading,
Mike

Poll makes no sense...

 

[Kreubs]

I will vote when you remove the bias from the poll options.

1. I've never seen all of those slots filled up so this is a pointless discussion at this time.

2. Fine. Don't think it'll make a big difference , but not a bad idea.

3. Take on a case by case basis since it's very rare players use a variation of our tags. If this particular player is causing issues, deal with him. English or not, he should get a clue after a couple of kicks. If not, then he can be banned. I think Sargass speaks French so maybe he can talk to him. I assume French is this guys language since his ip comes back as Quebec.

In reading through his chat logs, he's really not a problem. I don't see "sniper only ok?", as an issue. He wasn't demanding Snipers, he was asking. I don't view "sniper onli" as a problem either. He also asked how he could join the krew or "team" as he put it. Mountains out of molehills here, IMO. Also, camping IS allowed.

4. Poll isn't needed , IMO. And as Kreubs said, it's biased and leading.

Why would you reduce it from 40 to 27 Slots?
The most player online at the same time I have seen was between 20-23 and you already get spawnraped a lot but thats because Broadcast is a small map.
Ban players with kkk tags? Sorry but I don't get why this is a question in the poll here. From what I have seen is that people got asked to remove/change their tags and they pretty much always did or you can still just kick them.
To the SCing warning: Everybody knows SCing is not allowed. Nowhere. What I've seen on other servers is that you can type things like !rule5 and the console or b3 or whatever shows the rule of no spawn camping.
Same could be possible with 'All guns and perks allowed' as there is always some new player asking if he can use his shitty Marty
But again I'm just a recruit its just my opinion.

1) I've never seen 35 people either but I've seen 32 and its really waaayyy toooo much.
2) -
3) That's against the rules ATM.

3. Players using our tags are kicked if they are not members and refuse to remove them upon request. If they return with our tags they may bae banned by the moderator. They may appeal a ban in the appeal thread and will probably be unbanned from the server. One thing, it has to be exactly our tags to get banned. That is |KKK|PlayerName. Variations not exactly like that are permitted but politely requested to be removed while they are on ours servers to avoid the appearance that they are server moderators or other people of authority on the servers. (We don't want them misbehaving while appearing to represent us.)

And when he's 'politely requested' he simply says 'no.'


4) ok, delete it then

Seen 32 players how many times and for how long? My guess is, not very.

I don't need any rules quoted at me, i find it kind of ........

Also, if you read the quote, you'll see it specifies |KKK| not only in it's symbol, but in the following text : "One thing, it has to be exactly our tags to get banned."

The player in question isn't using |KKK|, therefore, he isn't breaking any rules.

Not sure where the issue is here other than you didn't like him saying "sniper onli"

In reading the logs he seems like a normal kid just trying to do his best to fit in with the other players and become a part of a team or krew.

My final word is this:

 

[Rival]

Less slots? Yes.
SC B3 message? Yes.
Ban (KKK), {KKK} etc.? No.

The only thing that is a good idea is the console message in my opinion. If a spawncamping one is put up, maybe a few more messages can go along with it. Not a spam or anything, just a few other basic rules and advertisements. This will help out with all players, especially first timers.

I know I'm not a member, but that is my contribution to the conversation.

While Mike's poll and problems to fix may be a little "out there", it is awesome that he wants to make s1 a better place!

1. If you're referring to this thread: http://krewgaming.com/showthread.php/3767-about-S1-(FFA-broadcast-by-KKK-)?p=52188#post52188 The decision was 30. That shouldn't matter now anyway. Different situation we're in. We're not as populated as it was when that thread was made. I personally prefer more player but my mindset has always been about keeping the server populated.

2. It will get added. No ETA at this time.

3. D covered these points well.

4. You're ghey. you Mike.

 

[ManuelBook]

Just have more warnings.
Our server is pretty straight forward.
I do agree with lowering the number of spots open in the server.
Try adding? :
1. (DO NOT add KKK tags or you WILL be banned from our server. We know who earned them and those who didn't.)
2. (NO spawn camping. One complaint and you will be removed from our server.)

Something along those lines.
The spawn points are aggravating when you can barely move.
I've had it happen to me multiple times.

 

[WaLLy]

Then don't die

 

[ManuelBook]

dang it wally

Instead of limiting players on server 1, a better idea would be to add another 24/7 broadcast server. What about broadcast sabotage? I feel like it's actually a good map for that? But maybe not.
There's plenty of demand.

I do see a lot of spawncamping on server 1. And if it's not spawncamping it's way too close.

There are PLENTY of tweaks we could consider if we had another broadcast server:
-Making jump height 1.3 or 1.5 (longer bunny hops, crazy quickscopes...etc.)
-Changing kill streak values like heli health and skill.
-having a really low player limit for those who like games with under 15 people.


Things like that. I don't think limiting the players on server 1 is a good idea atm.

[NickHouston]

I will vote when you remove the bias from the poll options.

I agree with Kreubs. When you basically tell people "If you vote for this then you LOVE spawncamping" that makes me not want to partake on your poll. Please close the poll.

612621 (kkk)terrorden: knife onli or kicking
612622 Tadas: ok


that's what Im talking about. new comers think he's an admin who's going to kick them if they don't follow his rules and some of them leave

 

[Kessa]

I think the number of slots is fine, but we do need some auto warnings about the server rules.
And players with fake tags should be kicked/banned for posing as krew members.

IMO~!

So Kick him when you see that and deal with it in game. I don't think we need a whole new rule for something that happens once in a blue moon.
