NA Strategus Server Poll

[Seawied]

Let's make this easy:

• Zealot wanting to change his ways, giving something back to the community and offering to sponsor a server --> + 1
• Zealot not wanting control over the server and letting neutral devs pick the admins --> + 1
• Zealot still being mistrusted by the community and being the server OWNER who can, theoretically, mess around with our Strat fun --> - 1
• Zealot donating the money, letting somebody neutral BUY AND OWN the server and admin on it --> PROFIT

This way he can still give something to the community, improve his reputation and at the same time be completely out of doubt when something bad happens with the server.

Because let's face it: if Zealot owns the server, the most minor fuck-up will cost him his rep again.

Apparently this makes too much sense for the devs to implement.

So yeah, this is chadz game and if i remember right a happy chadz is a coding chads and i'm all for it....

Honestly. If this random LLJK goon wants to spend his own money, on something that will benefit all of the NA community, while giving full control of the server over to a neutral dev-based team....What kind of idiot would say no to this?

I'm all for it. He wants to show good will, fine. He wants to repair his rep, fine. It benefits all of us, the players.

Who pays 300$ a month to repair his reputation on a game he just started and knows nothing about?

[dynamike]

yup....

ManO you misunderstand: based on the current deal Zealot would be the OWNER of the server. This is what the community is... hesitant against.

My suggestion is for him to donate the money instead and not OWN the server himself. This would truly show goodwill.

[Classical]

Who the fuck is paying three hundred a month?

<Zealot__> I'm not donating money as it is, I'm donating a server. I'm on billing to handle bandwidth overtures, freak payments, and any other bills that come to me and are responsible to me.

Time will tell if I'm using these servers to infect you with viruses and steal your credit card information!

Zealot started three months ago, and has been actively playing since. He also already runs a CRPG server (LLJK_Duel). It's not like he's going into this blind.

Does it really matter how much/why/how he is paying? Just accept the gift and be thankful. Unless you want to play Strat on a shitty overtaxed server.

He can be trolling right? He could decide, "Hmm I don't feel like paying aymore." There goes our Strategus server.

So how much does it cost for a 200 slot server?

Then we switch back to the ATS servers. It's not like they are going anywhere. Besides, Ecko can be the savior of NA if that happens, receiving full "I was always right" brag-ability.   I think he would like that.

[Classical]

You don't buy it based on slots, but specs, and those are to be decided, something beefy and beastly. It's just a matter of configuration, as EU servers offer a lot more hardware for a lot less money in terms of conversion, so we need to match their servers with similar specs, and similar costs.

Eiether way it does not matter! IF he screws with the server as a owner..

chadz cna just reset all the damage done and the ball would be in ecko's court, simple as that

The damage that cna be down is minimal and since this is all free, we have very... very... little to lose

[Loki]

It makes a lot more sense to have strategus servers be ran and controlled by c-rpg admins and not privately owned servers.  Even Ecko should see that this is an improvement since Zealot won't have any control over the server.

But why leave it there with a reasonable argument when I can cause drama.

TOP 5 REASONS ATS SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY C-RPG SERVERS:
1. They reset the strategus server during their own battles when they start losing.
2. They hand out administration-ships for political gain.
3. They ban players during strategus battles for simply saying things they don't want to hear.
4. They had a policy of allowing hate-speech (and often use it) [I think I've been called a my old friend over 1000 times by ATS].
5. Did I mention they reset the server when they were losing a battle?
