Post by: Rawrplus on June 06, 2015, 11:45:16 am
Hey there guys. as it's come to tradition, we're hosting yet another Ask Us Anything topic - the place for you to ask anyone from the staff team anything you want.
Personal, non-personal, server-related, funny, offtopic, pleads and whatever comes to your mind - now you have the chance. We'll try to answer anything (as long as it's civil and possible to answer).

You can ask in general or target a question to anyone particular. Choice is yours.

Interested in future projects, current projects or anything personal? Do it now :)


Please note:Anyone from staff team reserves the right to refuse to answer to an unpleasant question

@Rubix Is currently working on this, I don't know his ideas about bhop but we've ran into a few small issues that should be fixed before we can release :)

There are no plans from our side to do this.
But people set up private ones all the time so you could ask to join.

Most likely yes

Autobhop might be something to talk about. But at least i've some decent ideas in mind

Where do you see Ambrosia in a year or 2 years time?

Obviously I'd like to say as a successful and well functioning business model - as somebody in charge, but there's difference between dreaming and making it truth.
Personally I like to have my hopes high. I think for the last 2 years we've settled for mediocrity, for too long. And that's why I I've set my bar high - like all the projects you're seeing is a buildup. I really hope to transform Ambrosia into something bigger and better, I've grown tired of only being - that gaming community that used to be nr.1 in UK in 1.6, that's become a model for more 1.6 communities. Like yeah, that rings nicely to the ear, but I want more than that. That's a title of the past and if we don't keep evolving all the glory fades away eventually.

So yeah, I have my hopes high and there are already changes in the making. I think Ambrosia could actually be in a very fine spot in 2 years if everything goes according to plans, of course hypothetically speaking. Right now we have to stay humble and work our hardest to make it bigger and better. I think we're on a good way, just need to make sure it doesn't get derailed.

To follow up on this question, we have launched AmbrosiaCraft many times and usually it ended up in it closing - not due to activity, but mainly to management conflicts and conflict of interest. Albeit, to give it benefit of the doubt, it was hosted everytime by somebody 3rd party  and not directly as property of Ambrosia Community. I'm not denying a possibility of a future MineCraft servers, but it's definitely not on top of our priority list.

The same. We do not pay for individual servers, but for the dedibox as in whole.

Although we might do some performance upgrade if the community gets to grow and we'd need better hardware to run a larger amount of servers, so that could be a dent if deemed necessary.

What if then just A dedibox won't be enough? As cs 1.6 eats cpu a decent amount when alot of players are on the server, but then adding csgo server to that, it will probably cause lags and lagspikes alot. Are you guys willing to expand to more than 1 dedibox?

As I've said, hardware upgrade, potentially 1 more dedibox if we really have to (CPU/RAM issues).

Already in progress, it's been a pain in the arse to get a hold of a decent working plugin due to the best available plugin creator rage quitting off of Allied Modders and deleting his download links everywhere, but I've managed to stumble across an updated version of his plugin and so we should be set to work and do some testing on that today :)

What then if a wanna-be thug kid is going to come and DDoS ambrosia's dedibox? What kinda protection do you guys have? Are you guys using a ddos protected proxy, or does your host have DDoS protected firewall, example. CISCO etc.

What then if a wanna-be thug kid is going to come and DDoS ambrosia's dedibox? What kinda protection do you guys have? Are you guys using a ddos protected proxy, or does your host have DDoS protected firewall, example. CISCO etc.

This is very tricky question, one that anybody who's in charge of anything doesn't really like to answer. Let me explain why.

I am not gonna name anything due to security reasons.

If you have any technical experience, you probably know it's impossible to completely deny DDoS attack. The furthest DDoS prevention technology has come is Mitigation. We're equipped with multiple DDoS protections and I'd like to believe we're secure from some random ddos attacks, although if it was an organized botnet, I'm pretty sure the servers would go offline immediately (just like in any other company that would get hit by DDoS) - I mean even the giants, like national banks have fallen victims to DDoS attacks and they have security measures worth more than probably wage of 50 people combined, so it would be very optimistic for me to say we're secure... all I can say is, secure enough not to get hunted down by somebody and to keep the community alive... Secured to best of our ability.

I know it sounds bad for members to read such reply, but that is the objective truth and sadly currently DDoS attacks are a very lethal way of e-bullying on internet and while it is illegal crime, there's very little you can currently do to be 100% secure from DDoS attacks. That's the harsh truth.

The dedi will be fine, The cs 1.6 servers aren't the main bulk of our CPU but we would leave some leverage just in case.
For our current plans and for most of our future ones the dedi is more than enough :)

As jailbreak is the most active server on your cs 1.6 list
And as you are expanding to cs:go in most of your servers...
What are the chances that you launch a cs:go server knowing it's easier to manage and has a lot more options than 1.6?


P.S. You're welcome for reminding you to make this topic :p

It's not on top of our priority list, but I think there's a pretty solid chance.  I will touch on this in an upcoming announcement today - So  I'm not really going to go into detail here, as I don't feel like typing the same thing twice (excuse me for my lazyness). But yeah, I feel like you'll find a good reply and reasoning there. (I'll link to it once it's finished).

CSGO bhop is horrible... That speed is atrocious unless you use a jump modifier in the server, which by itself can't use script detection as it will conflict with the other plugin. I couldn't find a plug for it too, thinking kz and bhop use the same thing.

Zombie escape is nice.
But for Minigames I couldn't find a plugin

CS:GO Bhop should be bhop-script-free and if you're that much of a auto-bhop fan then I suggest adding a map to a MiniGames server along with auto-bhop deathrun but other than that, we shouldn't allow any auto-bhop plugins on a bhop server ;)

I investigated the case of thend buying ambrosia, but there is 80% of vability he will not get it. Considering the fact of casper buying ambrosia for about 2000 Euros, and since then the value of the community risen for about 500 euros. But seeing the hostility between Rawr and Thend, the value will rise up even more... So following a business pattern, thend would go bankrupt if he wants to waste so much money on this community.

And yes, raven and rawrplus gave oaths if thend is to buy ambrosia, they will leave. Casper will automatically leave because he has nothing that is keeping him here(Following the same pattern as piranchas)

^
This is mostly banter but the oaths they gave can be found in the shark/roni/sami fiasco topic if it's still there. Right now, since it's about 7-8 months since the shark/roni/sami incident, it's rather still unstable for experimenting with new highstaff higher than uc.

P.S: I'm not trying to mislead people, but the chances of thend to get ambrosia at this very moment is drastically low. Unless the offer thend composes touches casper only without consent with other emperors.

Majority of CS:GO players in our DM and 1v1 server make it x3 the number of the CS 1.6 players on the 5 servers. So what, please don't tell me "CS:GO is Steam only" because I'm sure the community will be 1 of the biggest UK ones in the CS:GO scene

Why would we remove something which has players (no matter how little) when it doesn't affect the performance of our dedi? We can still expand to more csgo servers without the need to remove them.
Only when they haven't got full management and they are more of a liability, we will take action.

Considering the fact of casper buying ambrosia for about 2000 Euros, and since then the value of the community risen for about 500 euros. But seeing the hostility between Rawr and Thend, the value will rise up even more... So following a business pattern, thend would go bankrupt if he wants to waste so much money on this community.

And yes, raven and rawrplus gave oaths if thend is to buy ambrosia, they will leave. Casper will automatically leave because he has nothing that is keeping him here(Following the same pattern as piranchas)

^
This is mostly banter but the oaths they gave can be found in the shark/roni/sami fiasco topic if it's still there. Right now, since it's about 7-8 months since the shark/roni/sami incident, it's rather still unstable for experimenting with new highstaff higher than uc.

P.S: I'm not trying to mislead people, but the chances of thend to get ambrosia at this very moment is drastically low. Unless the offer thend composes touches casper only without consent with other emperors.

It is true theEnd at one point was interested in buying Ambrosia, however the transaction never went through. I originally did not have  against anything with theEnd being involved (I used to be in good terms with him until spawn of hydra) - so the rumors about oaths or anything are not true.  I developed a pretty nice working friendly relationship not only with Raven but also rest of the highstaff team, so if we ever were to be divided due to ownership shenanigans, I'd take my leave. What keeps me hear is passion for the community and friends, not money - I get literally 0 income from Ambrosia, even for stuff like working on websites et cetera, where people would charge least 50 EUR plus. My issue would not be about him being specifically being the owner but if he wanted to demote anybody from current highstaff group.

Obviously nowadays I would be against that, due to personal reasons and if such day ever came, I'd be the first one to take my leave and I'm sure many would follow. I have a set of conditions I'm willing to work under and if they ever were to be disturbed, I'm packing my things. I understand I may sound like I spoiled brat, but for me, Ambrosia is a bit more personal after all the years than just a community I manage.

yeeeee i've always wanted to ask this :P

what happened in the shark/roni/sami incident? and with next too

I won't actually answer that. Or rather, I'll give you a very vague answer.

Basically it all started with conflicts within high staff.  Everybody was part of it, but the main conflict, I'd say was probably between me and Shark. Before you start imagining huge swear-word fights and ddos threats / whatever.. No it was nothing like that. it was all in calm and mature demeanor, we just couldn't come to find same note when it came to decision about community. We used to be very good friends for over 5 years and I utmost respect the man and wish him all the best - we just shared different views on how we believe a community should be run. Ultimately what it all came down to, due to our different views on things, it was not good atmosphere to be in and it was not only affecting not only me and him, but everybody in highstaff team.

Sami and Roni decided to follow Shark (I know Shark is probably the closest online friend of Roni, I can't vouch for sami, because frankly I don't know what his terms are with Shark and I'd be lying if I said I knew, but I presume they must be positive as well). There wasn't really any conflict between anybody with the departure. We just agreed to part ways after a talk.

Only heated times were, when Shark posted his leaving topic and a lot of things were from my point of view inaccurate or incorrect, so i posted my view on things. In retrospect I think both me and Shark should have simply kept quiet and it was unprofessional of me to drag personal things into Community management. Ultimately I should have just stayed silent, take the blame, although I felt like I didn't deserve it, but sometimes you've got to be punching bags for the members, but take it for the greater good of the community and stay silent about it. Issue is I'm usually a very vocal person, wanting to voice my opinion on anything and that was no exception. I do not feel guilt for posting it, I've just come to regret as it shattered my friendly terms with sami/roni/shark. But hindsight is 20-20 you know... And I'd dare to say situation got better by then after we talked it out.

That's when the things got heated between me - sami/roni/shark, but other than that we never really had any arguments since.

The reason why I won't go into this is because, pretty much all of us - anyone who participated in this conflict share different views on it.
I wish to stay in good terms with all 3 people here, after all they are long-time mates to me and I wish for it to stay that way. I think we all agreed (without even there being proper agreement, just with our thoughts and morale) not to touch on this topic ever again. It simply happened, it was necessary for future of Ambrosia and that's it and I think all of us who were involved can agree on that - that's all people need  to know. Rest is personal and not worth digging up.

As for next, I can't say I'm in really good terms with him. He mainly left due to argument between him and fragment. I can't say fragment behaved like an angel either, but same could be said about next. it was generally very bad conditions highstaff team had to work under, so he had to go. I don't know what's up with him now. I don't have anything personal against him, I just felt like he was a bit too cocky about certain things, but I generally don't hold any grudges.

@header: When are you getting a proper chair mate?

@ whoever: well since I came back to the game (cs 1.6 not silly csgo) , I played in several servers and I noticed the reg in ambro is basically horrible.

Its like everyone just absorbs my bullets instead of doing dmg. And yeah im rusty i dont hit nearly as good as i did before I stopped playing (and yeah blablabla i sucked back then too) hence the comparison with not to be named servers in which i do hit.

Any idea what is causing this bullet absorption?

Are you currently complaining against the reg in dd2? or the game cs 1.6 itself?
Either way you're just complaining all the time.

Nope, cheese is like a trademark for the netherlands (so are other things tho) however, I know quite a couple who don't like it. Example, me myself.
And though belgium is the place for having these special beers, which are truly amazing, we're fine with ours as well :)

PlzDie is long gone(don't ask how), stealing IDs and evading though nowadays has become a piece of cake, so there'll always be "PlzDies" in our servers. All we can do is keep banning them by IP, for now, but we do have something in mind.

Easy thing for the non-lifers, remembre that after summer, 50% of jb players will have school, therefore they won't be able to be as active as they were before. Those "Plzdie's" can show up anytime on summer. Unless our plan is to make a c4 on jb server and kill every PLZDies, it will be tough for you to get ride of.

What's the most important thing you're working on right now, and how are you making it happen?

What's the hardest decision you've made so far?

How many hours a week/day to you spent for ambrosia? (Considering it's your freetime and you don't get payed for it)

Have you ever been at a point where you've said that, it would of been better closing the community?

(Now this one is completely retarded, but you never know) Would you (incase) valve offers a "specific" ammout of money, to get owner rights of ambrosia and double/triple its contet with servers of valve games and new staff/managment, consider doing the deal and start working for it? (with payment).

What's your favorite food?

I know i'm not supposed to answer but i'll answer on behalf of @Rawrplus and he can feel free to correct me ;D

-Most important working on: reaching challenger on LoL
-hardest decision you've made so far: accepting Ray on steam
-How many hours a week/day to you spent for ambrosia? (Considering it's your freetime and you don't get payed for it): when i'm not doing anything, mostly all day.
-Have you ever been at a point where you've said that, it would of been better closing the community? Of course not! (who would want to see negativity from an emperor)
-Would you (incase) valve offers a "specific" ammout of money, to get owner rights of ambrosia and double/triple its contet with servers of valve games and new staff/managment, consider doing the deal and start working for it? (with payment).: WHY ON EARTH, WOULD VALVE BUY AMBROSIA WHEN IT'S ALREADY A FAMOUS COMPANY.
What's your favorite food? Cheeeeese with a cup of gasoline.

A few serious questions want them answerd by somone from this position: @Rawrplus @Raven E II R @___ÇλŠקΣя.___ @Ezza 67

What's the most important thing you're working on right now, and how are you making it happen?

What's the hardest decision you've made so far?

How many hours a week/day to you spent for ambrosia? (Considering it's your freetime and you don't get payed for it)

Have you ever been at a point where you've said that, it would of been better closing the community?

(Now this one is completely retarded, but you never know) Would you (incase) valve offers a "specific" ammout of money, to get owner rights of ambrosia and double/triple its contet with servers of valve games and new staff/managment, consider doing the deal and start working for it? (with payment).

What's your favorite food?

Hey there!

Apologies for somewhat late reply, I've been very busy, so I wasn't even able to go on PC in last 4 days.

Well I can't really tell, I mean, I can't just spoil the surprise. But it is a rather big project that could potentially boost Ambrosia to big popularity. It will quite guaranteed not be a immediate success, but with enough time and care, it can be main source of our popularity. You will see for yourself, maybe even this month. (that's what also the teaser rank is for *hint*)

Uhm.. I presume this is for Ambrosia, not personal life. Well honestly, I don't know, there've been couple. The two hardest were probably deciding what to do what to do with Ambrosia when it was about to close and deciding if to part ways with Shark. I've touched on this in my previous reply in greater detail (if you're interested).

Depends.

Also what do you consider spent for Ambrosia - if only visiting Forums, replying et cetera counted, then it would be around 10-30 hours a week. I generally spend 3+ hours a day on Forums. Sometimes even more.
If actually working on projects, then it depends on how busy am I with real life and how important it is. There are days where I do a 14+ hours shift on something, if I'm really fired up to get something done. Last project I started at 11 am and ended at 5 am the next day. So can be quite extreme, although that was a rarity. I can't really tell you how much per week because I dont work on a schedule. Sometimes it can be hours spent any sane person would consider unhealthy, but there are weeks where I don't really do much as well (other than check forums).  It's mainly about motivation honestly and how I'm feeling and how much free time I have on my hands.

Uhm, how to interpret it. There have been rumors of me leaving community, joining other communities for even cash contracts et cetera. I personally have never at single point considered closing Ambrosia. It is however true that I was considering leaving Ambrosia - this was however due mainly to conflicts within staff team. It was never however like, I want to close this community because I just can't take it anymore. It was because at one point I didn't see any future in Ambrosia (and I think if changes didn't come, that would be the case and it indeed would die) - however after restarting the Community i was happy with staying because we got back on the right track.

I can't really answer that as I'm not by any meaning an owner of this community so this would be entirely up to Casper. obviously this is an unrealistic scenario. To be fair though, if there was a chance of Ambrosia being bought I wouldn't be entirely against it run corporatively, I would however need to be sure it's in good hands and aware of what the system for running the community would be. I'm repeating myself here, but once again, I do this for passion I have for it, I couldn't care less for money - if it was beneficial for community and everybody would be happy, I wouldn't mind.

To make Koray his answer more precise.
There will be no more expansion in any cs 1.6 server anymore.

I think rawr made a post in this same topic about it aswell
