We need more full power admins.

ROTATION lmao, never works, never will, it seems this is covered every 2 months on this server....

but why?

[liquidswords Profile]

with ff off lmao

yes, but normal spawn times. no limit on lives. ecgn settings aren't any better.

The map changing as it is, i think work ok. Almost everyday an admin pop in, throw us a few maps and then go back to beach. And it's great fun.

But:
All those tards that constant rejoins for lifes, tking and bleeding etc. 1 or 2 more admins could be useful. They tend to show up when admins are not around.

Unless! Here's my idea:
2 regulars together can for example !kick, or !put team/spec, when needed.
Let's say player Dumas do whatever he is doing. Then 2 regulars /pm each other discussing the matter, and together think he needs a small lesson in server etiquette. Then they take proper measures.
Could it work?

How about enabling map voting (but only an admin can call the vote to keep the spam down). This would stop some from complaining about admins.

^ just a thought, I don't have any complaints with how the server is.


on a different note: I'm pretty sure it's "Smack" but I see admins like Chick, MsB , Puzzy, etc...
What is the actual "clan" for ECGN? and how does one go about becoming a member? I don't see any info about this on this forum.

need a say more that this topic was talked to death

I can easily see your point slaughter. I will say, you are right for the most part, but there are some things that have changed dramatically since (some) of those threads.

The threads from ages ago, i think 1 was dated 2006 or earlier, doesn't really hold weight anymore since there are not any legit servers out there. ECG and HP are the only ones with a community these days, so players can't "go to another beach server."

And when you say a rotation will kill the server, again you are correct. When people see the server has another map on, they will get their tampons in a bunch and not play. However you are basing that on the premise that it would a consistent rotation for good. A set time limit, 24 hours, people would easily know when it was and to avoid it if they chose. With the rest of the week being beach, that is quite a modest compromise compared to what players in the threads you posted were demanding of you Admins.

Also, if there is any chance ever that a rotation would be implemented, I understand that custom maps would be null and void beyond the GOTY map pack. Despite having a ton of refreshing maps, maps that are way out of left field, no matter how good they are, will kill a server. Simple GOTY rotation would be fine, at the most Market Garden (which I hate, for the record, but understand others want it), Frostbite, and UFO. It's even hard to justify Frostbite and UFO, but I've seen them on the server when Mastery or pooty feel like changing it up.

I can understand if you still feel strongly AGAINST a rotation. You have excellent points on the case Slaughter. But is what I am suggesting really that bad of an idea?

[liquidswords Profile]

i've already pointed those reasons out before nubz.
even suggested a rotation where it goes like: beach ice beach village beach assault beach sub etc. as a compromise.
but the responses are always LOLOL IT WON'T WORK without providing a valid reason as to why.

[MAN-AT-ARMS]

The problem is that when server bugs out like it often does in this version of shrub, the rotation will stop and be stuck on a single map anyway..It would require an admin to restart the rotation..which isn't really unreasonable..but map changes (especially constant ones) do tend to kill the server off.

All voting is disabled due to exploits.

What would "killing the server" mean in terms of how many players are on at a given time? Players have already expressed how much of a cluster fuck it is with over 12 players per side, so what is the issue if we rotate maps and fall to what, 8-10 players per side? That is more than reasonable, and often times, more fun.

BACK ON TOPIC

It wasnt just about map changes or even a rotation..

I just think the server could use a few more full power admins.

[weezy Profile]

Stopped playing because there are no other servers and I dont like beach or depot all the time.

Will return once servers have more options.

The admins in a no-win situation because they can't implement a rotation cuz that would kill the server. But if they don't they'll lose players regardless... It was fun while it lasted!:beer:

i disagree. implementing a rotation might reduce player numbers at first, but since there's nowhere else to play the beach noobs would eventually suck it up and *gasp* learn different maps.
also i doubt the servers will ever have more options at this point.

[Assimilator Profile]

Gonna have to agree with liquidwords on this one.
