Hi folks. I have a few suggestions regarding Ambrosia, admins and
dd2 server. Please read them all and share your thoughts. Give a feedback by quoting suggestion #. Please remember, ingame suggestions are only for the mighty dd2.
ADMINS#1. Addon for admin apps.(
Make applicants to show the real ingame time, usual times when they`re visiting the server.)
Reason: I know many UK guys who are playing only nights or only days. Well atm we have 7+ daytime admins, but other times are not covered so well.
Daniel: That what im excepting to see in admin apps something like:
"..well Im usually online from 9pm-2am by gmt..""..im working two shifts so it will be sometimes mornings, sometimes evenings by gmt)"..as Im going to school and can play only evenings, but Im from china it would be from 10pm for a few hrs"#2. A trial admin assessment.(
Make some questioner or invite some "Mentoring system")
Reason:
LINK#3. Ban, kick, warn rules.(
Make some system with difirent "abuse" levels)
Reason:Now one admin is banning perm or 1,2month while other ony for 30mins,etc.
Daniel:Simple table where is shown average margins for anything.Cuz while Im just warning someone, other is banning. It cant be just warn-kick-ban. There is many type of abuses but for now admins are making their own rules cuz there is not such a coda to follow.#4. TSAY rules.(
Reduce tsay spam ingame, by issuing some rules)
Reason: Many of us are playing with 640x480 resolution. That means there is 1/3 of the screen filled with some letters. That would be ok, but if admins doing it rapidly every 2-5 mins it sometime really disturbs from the game. Also many new admins who wanna show their power are unnecessarily spamming tsay.
Daniel: every 2 mins in tsay spam: specs join. Thats what i call spam. If you`re dead, admins can use normal chat to issue a warnings, etc.. there is not such a code too.#5. Admin autoslot.(
Give admins autoslot)
Reason: If we could make a slot registry(look bellow suggestion #16), then it would be a nice feature.
Daniel: -.-#6. The Watch list.(
Make a separate board that can be accessible only histaf, and few trusted admins to discuss some suspicions)
Reason: Even now I am suspicious about few our "star" players, but as they have admins - friends I cant share it with everybody. And who doesn't like a secrets?
Daniel: how many dd2 admins are there?#7. Updates for the newest cheats. (don't get me wrong here)(
Post some updates for newest cheats, and how to bust them)
Reason:Many admins, including me are oldschool to cheats like overlays, and modif aimkeys.
Daniel: "."
#8. Admin INFO and STEAM group.(
Make dd2 admins more accessible for other players)
Reason: I know there is ambro admin group but its inactive and not promoted. If ambro admin team steam group would be promoted in server infolines then many players would be happier.
Daniel: Its not working. But i mean to make a steam group, and add it to welcome msg in server(s), so players can add admins without checking the forum. And also steam group must be more active.Even latvias #1 server have 25k members. Ambro is international, but have how many steam group members? That group is out of date too.. Someone should take care of STEAM, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, GAMETRACKER, and many other social sites. Make some social media administrators., who will provide all them..
INGAME PLUGINS (only for dd2)#9. AFK kicker set to 45s. (optional afk kicker transfers to spectators)Reason: Well you cant afford to be afk in a busy server. Many times afk stays last.
Daniel: -.-#10. BAN INFO.(
shows banned person all necessary info)
Reason: when ppl are makeing unban requests they dont know admin, ban type or reason. Was wondering why there is not this simple but handy plugin.
Daniel: then why many spamers going into unban req with "you were banned by..", then admins must be informed more..#11. Ping Kicker set to 250.
Reason: imagine how it is to play with 200+ ping? Now its 300, and we sometimes have 260-280 players. They cant play, we either. The reason why i sticked with ambrosia two yrs ago it was simple - the only one top ten (gametracker) server with play-able ping/lags.
Daniel: SUGGESTED? WHO? It would be death of ambrosia dd2! I strongly disagree as there is not taken a public opinion. I dont like to hear suggestions from people who are appearing on server just once a month.
p.s. i know danii your ping, but its less than 200 
NO one cares#12. Team flash`ed info plugin.
(
plugin that JUST SHOWS who teamflashed)
Reason: So admins can easily take care of some constant TFlasher.
Daniel:LINKLINKp.s. second one is just a ancient one, you can turn off the voice.
#13. Friendly teambalance / ptb.(
even simple autobalance)
Reason: Just today saw this 10 cts loosing with 1 - 5 to ts. There was 15 terrorists but one traitor managed to change the team to ts. Picture - 9CTS vs 16TS. So autobalance - 0?
Also the server were i used to play when was younger was friendly ptb bot. During mapcycle time it swaps you max 2 times if even your #1 and it swaps ONLY if loosing team looses 4 rounds in a row.
So my question: is it possible to customize ptb bot, to make it game - friendly?
Ok, now we have some balance back, is it possible to modify ptb?
AMBROSIA#14. Meatball server.
(
make some meatballs with new server)
Reason: I`ve heard rumors that there is servers with smth like 25/25 slots (50 total). Is it possible to make that?
Imagine how bloody it would be.
Daniel: dd2 server with 50 slots in total. 25 cts vs 24 ts. Imagine how many nade kills or triple awp kills you could get.
#15. Some 3or4 month review. (
every server staff make reports for the emperors)
Reason: Will be a public accessible info from the head-admins like how many total visitors, how many new admins, how many admins demoted, what important rule changes happened. What future look alike, etc. interesting?!
#16. Set task to work out - how improve ambro prestige and rank.(special group of specialists of difirent kinda work together to make some good ideas)
Reason: we have a pro level players, software developers, experienced community leaders, so why dont work out how make ambro have 25k members, compete with SK, etc..
$$MONEY$$#17. SLOT REGESTRING.(
sell slots for aprox. 1EUR/month)
Reason: Will bring some cash. Slot reg is simple txt with your nickname, then you receive your password, and only you can be on server with that nick that would be easier for them who want to save their nick against fraud, etc.
#18. Advert platform.(
put some ads boxes on some map spots, like spawn walls, and where not disturbing a gameplay)
Reason: If dd2 can attract 60k+ visitors/month then why not try this. I know its a crazy idea but i never ever seen this but i think its possible to put some advert, like INTEL,MSI, or DUFFBEER. I thought about this idea to host a good quality mw3/batelfield/cs servers and to put some advert spots. For cheap money someone one day would be agree. Why? Cuz i never seen this before. Correct me if i wrong.
#19. TRADEMARK - AMBROSIA.(
make a good logo)
Reason: Well can make a rule that every admin must have ambro logo with homepage as their spray.
Whenever they would visit other servers just one simple spray on the wall will attract some players to the forum and servers. It would be a big logo with simple address in a bottom. Make some stickers. I know in europe you can find places where one 10`x10` sticker will cost you 0.10eur.
And you can sell it on homepage for lets say 0.50eur. I would buy some of them, many my mates are making a sticker-bombs of their laptops. Its a cool and cheap advert with some profit init. LOGO POWER, you know?!
#20. Make some clan from our pros and invite SK, fnatik, NaVi.(
crazy I know, but imagine fnatic in ambro cw server)
Please don't hesitate to ask explanation as my language is not so fulfilled with a good quality words that could look beautiful. Also some forum mod can edit grammar mistakes if you want.
