Title: Fresh Start
Post by: Equin0x on November 26, 2012, 05:46:21 pm
Whats better then starting over fresh and meeting new people? Nothing! So I had an idea no one will like but would be rather fun for the admins. The idea is, ipban every single player and make sure their is zero chance of anyone logging in (except admins), backup the server files, then massive advertise the server and get a fresh bunch of players to join and play on the server. Sounds a little far-fetched but in an admins point of view (i think) it would actually be a lot of fun.

Are you saying that after a little while, they would let us all back online using the backup? If so, wouldn't we have to kick all of the new players out?

I forget what the player limit is, fill me in?

Post by: Z4X3R on November 26, 2012, 06:14:08 pm
I'm pretty sure it's 50, but I didn't know if we could combine the backup files with the ones held by new players. This is probably simple, I just didn't understand.

It's 64, and if they don't ban us then I'm all in. I could do a Let's Play! :D

Finally, somebody asks the obvious question.

Never.
Idk, after a month the admins ask the new players how much fun they had etc then they get combined to the regular server.
Title: Re: Fresh Start
Post by: LilacLily on November 28, 2012, 02:50:10 pm
MONTH?
 
And how does this work exactly, 1 server version for us, 1 for the to-be newbies?
Title: Re: Fresh Start
Post by: Tenebrae on November 28, 2012, 08:34:36 pm
Never.
Idk, after a month the admins ask the new players how much fun they had etc then they get combined to the regular server.
So, basically they'd be banning players from a server they're been commited to for over a year... And did you never think about players using proxies and alts...

I think this is a horrible idea honestly, I see no valid positives. Taking away all your players will not increase server traffic, it will only hurt the server and it's community.

No one would 'mass advertise' if players are incapable of joining...

If you didn't notice, I just said if we weren't it may be cool.

Now, I have to ask something Equin. Why would bring this up knowing you too would suffer the same fate as rest of us?

How would the new players fight the gym leaders then, if there are non?

Fighting gyms was my favorite thing when I joined the server

Never.

Suddenly, the new players are suddenly overtaken to see a sudden rush of "new" people that have 1k stats. . .
Also, the server isn't just pvp. There's regions that are being built, and removing every builder from each region for a month could be a problem.
Title: Re: Fresh Start
Post by: cabass on November 30, 2012, 10:44:27 pm
not only for gym sakes but people like head builders and builders need to be able to join

and in agreement with anon i like it but it sounds like there would be some risks involved
Title: Re: Fresh Start
Post by: shishkabob97 on December 01, 2012, 03:48:18 am
I think a simple solution to this is we need to have people vote more often... i mean just seeing POKEMON SERVER!!! will catch most peoples attention cause i mean who hasn't played pokemon or atleast knows what it is. I think that we should just try to get as many people as we can to vote for the sever and possibly some other advertisement type thingy
Title: Re: Fresh Start
Post by: Rigby on December 01, 2012, 04:25:09 pm
Yes, because there was never an admin. Who's idea was to advertise the server, that the other admins never really helped with.
I wonder. If there was one.
Oh wait. Rigby over here yelled every admin meeting that we needed advertisement. But nope, no one listens to Rigby.

Fine Print: I couldn't find an efficient way to copy all 361 matches, but my regex counted them for me. The above was simply a sample from our current server.log, and does not represent our last MONTH OF NEW MEMBERS.

Cool. People joined. People do that all the time.
Recall whenever I got the server to ~40 people on at the same time regularly for a few weeks?
Remember when I filled up the server on multiple occasions SINGLE HANDEDLY?
Seriously. I'm more relevant of an advertiser than you will EVER be.

I agree, a real griefing team would do more than just NyanCat our chat, and spam 50 lines of "pokemon sucks" no doubt.
Doesn't remove the fact that they appeared. Nor the fact that we haven't seen anyone like them in months.

So in essence. 1ce, you're a failure.

Lol bad logic is bad.
I'm not a failure if I never try. I'm just not someone who tried.
You can only fail if you try.
Now, does that make me better than a failure? No. I accept that. But it does not make me worse.

It does make your worse.
You're afraid to try now. Because if you fail. You're a failure. I'm right.
Yes. Rigby being right. You lose. All else doesn't matter.
Yes. Be afraid.
You are a failure in essence that you can't try now.

Grow up little child. Life isn't about being right and wrong.
I am not a failure. I am not a quitter (unlike somebody here). I am not doing anything wrong in not taking your advice. Nor were any of the OTHER admins who didn't take your advice (thank you for trying to center all of this on me, it was quite clever, I'm very flattered) so just get over yourself.
Title: Re: Fresh Start

You're the one in the thread, are you not?
Anyways, at this point you run the server. Don't try and tell people you don't. You can do whatever you want and no one will care to change it. I was the one who did.
And I quit because I'm not going to waste my time admining a server that's not worth my time. And it was growing boring and I had no interest in it.
Is Paradox a quitter? Yeah, he is. But you won't call him out on it.
Why should I get over myself? I mean. You can just ban me.
You ban me, then you have to ban anyone else who opposes you.
If you have a problem with my attitude ban me from the forums.
But then 1/2 the server should be banned.

Its amusing you would say that, as I literally hovered over the link that would do it right after I read the previous post.
But I'm better than that.
Yes, Paradox is a quitter. Is he trying to put me down and label me falsely? Not that I know of.
Yes, I've become aware that I do make most of the changes to the server. Everyone goes to me for permission, goes to me for advice, goes to me for any small thing they don't even need me for. Apparently I'm important, even though almost every other admin is educated enough for 90% of the issues.
Am I still trying to control myself? Yes. Did I ask permission to demote hixhen? Yes. Did I ask permission to tempban cabass? Yes.
I am better than you or any complainer imply. Just because I'm the only one you see wielding the axe, doesn't mean I'm the only head on the shoulders.
I am not alone in the server decision making flow. I refuse to be, because I know that power can corrupt. THATS what I'm afraid of. Losing myself to the frenzy of power. Not failing. I do that so often it doesn't even matter anymore.

You didn't seem to have a problem with being corrupted while I was in power.
"Hi my name's 1ce I run this shit"
That's you. When I was in power.
You changed shit, told 1 person. And gave no fucks.
But Rigby gave a fuck. And he made sure he used that fuck to fix the problem.
You're corrupted and don't even know it.

1ce please don't bring me into this. Alright, yes, I question the authority of this server sometimes, but I do have faith in you. I have faith in this server's administration, but I'm not saying your the  Arceus  that runs the server. I respect what you do, even if I don't like it. I know you do it for the better of the server, so I let it go or complain about it for at least a week. But, I wouldn't change a damn about the way you run our server and community.

Its amusing you would say that, as I literally hovered over the link that would do it right after I read the previous post.
But I'm better than that.
Yes, Paradox is a quitter. Is he trying to put me down and label me falsely? Not that I know of.
Yes, I've become aware that I do make most of the changes to the server. Everyone goes to me for permission, goes to me for advice, goes to me for any small thing they don't even need me for. Apparently I'm important, even though almost every other admin is educated enough for 90% of the issues.
Am I still trying to control myself? Yes. Did I ask permission to demote hixhen? Yes. Did I ask permission to tempban cabass? Yes.
I am better than you or any complainer imply. Just because I'm the only one you see wielding the axe, doesn't mean I'm the only head on the shoulders.
I am not alone in the server decision making flow. I refuse to be, because I know that power can corrupt. THATS what I'm afraid of. Losing myself to the frenzy of power. Not failing. I do that so often it doesn't even matter anymore.
i'm just gonna interrupt this drama bomb to just say that this made me laugh a lot because frenzy

“We do have a lot in common.
The same air, the same Earth, the same sky.
Maybe if we started looking at
what's the same instead of
always looking at what's different,

...well, who knows?”
