A New or Alternative North American Strategus Server?

[Wookimonsta]

This will not be run by classical. There is no correlation between your point and the topic at hand.

uhm, no need to get defensive, but... giving the keys to the server to a guy who is known for taking a password to another server, defacing it and banning random people? that doesnt sound like the smartest move i've ever seen.

He's got the keys now and is giving them to a responsible sober driver.  You've got your car analogy backwards.

i made no car analogy, the point is, if he is paying for the servers (as i understood) he controls the servers. even if he didnt know the root password, he has full access and can do what he wants

if it was a car analogy, it would be giving YOUR keys to your friend who has already drunkenly totalled someones other car and him saying "what? no i would NEVER drive drunk"

It was factual not defensive. He is more paying for the keys then using them, especially since official servers have admin tied to CD keys not simple stealable passwords.

uhm... i dont mean to offend, if you host the damn thing, you dont need the password to ban people etc. Just edit the ban list or edit the settings or do what you please.

Trust Wooki, he owns servers...

Still after being banned forever I think he learnt his lesson :/

dont trust me, im an aboozer. and i know perfectly well why i aboozed. I got bored with stuff, so i started fucking around. I don't know classical personally, but from some of his stuff i've read, i guess the same will happen here eventually.

Now, why would someone go through the trouble to do something like that after all the work it is probably going to take to set it up, thus making all that work meaningless.

It's one thing for philosoraptor to give you an admin password and shit up a place at no real cost to yourself.  It's completely non-analogous to set up a server with the sole intention of banning a bunch of random people.

Also, Classical has done a lot for the community since his one bad action, and I truly believe he has seen the error in his ways and reformed.  After serving his time in the frozen wastes he's come back as a responsible contributing member of the c-rpg community.

I get his points but any potential damage would be limitet to only those servers, & chadz already made his decision  and I trust him too. NA needs these servers. Remember that this is zealots money not some random server.

Well no, it wouldnt be limited there. If it gets fucked up, chadz can maybe ignore it, which would be fucked up. Or if he does something about it, like abandon the servers there, it would kill of NA strategus until new servers were running.
NA already has servers, I still dont see what was wrong with Ecko's servers, strategus used to on those too.

Because guess what, ecko is ATS, and guess who fights in there? ATS.
Guess how many complains chadz got because of ATS Aboozing, lots.

Wookie, try playing on any of those servers during NA prime-time.  Then  try to imagine another 200 man server running on the same box.

and eu didnt have abusers (lol me).
so you are saying, ATS has abuser admins, yet a guy who not only abused but also stole the password, thats the better alternative? Not to mention that ecko said long ago Strategus Administration and Normal Servers would be seperated.

btw, i do remember participating in strategus battles on ecko's servers. It was normal laggy for me.

He's just an ex-con trying to go straight and get his kids back.

Easy there Tom Jane.

[Damug]

He didn't steal the password.  It was given to him, then in a night of druken rage he logged on and did some stupid things.
