Now common people, way to get carried away. Why would Zealot pay a crap ton of money out of his own pocket, and give up all influence to chadz, only to do something like that and have it all taken down? It's not like chadz would allow that sort of thing to happen, and if it did, he certainly wouldn't allow it to continue.
Then what is he going to do, steal his own money?
Instead of stringing up Zealot, we should be thanking him for his generosity so that we can split the strain of the new players that will be coming back for strat, and also for giving us official servers for NA players, which we have gone without for ages.
I'd like to request that the poll be taken down and it does not reflect the truth and is only serving to spread discourse and misinformation on a subject that is actually simple and clear.
Dude, have you ever played with LLJK? You sound like you're from a different world. I'm not even talking about this game exclusively; their clan is from somethingawful.com, the biggest bridge to ever spawn masses of trolls on the internet. THAT IS THE POINT OF THEIR CLAN.
You come off as extremely naive. I appreciate your sentement, but letting LLJK be involved in any part of this is like letting a cokehead run a daycare. I don't care what anyone says, money talks, bullshit walks. If you're in charge of the finances of a server, or anything in the real world for that matter, you are effectively in charge of that server. This is how the real world works, and the sooner we wise up to it the better off the community will be.
Now, let's get to the part where we suggest a reasonable solution. Why not allow all of those who would like to contribute to a new server do so. Hell, Zealot can even put forward the first year's worth if he's so magnanimous. However, this would go to chadz, he would purchase the server, and run it himself with those he deems fit to help. This way everyone can contribute, the burden of cost is split among many so there is not one controlling interest, and everyone benefits from a truly neutral server/s. Please tell me why this is not the best solution.
