Random idea

[gAnX]

Maybe we could get some kind of 'VIP' or 'Ambrosian' rank across the board for all the servers. Either taken from their steam ID or IP whichever would be easier. We have a large community of dedicated, regular players who in my opinion should get more right being on the server then randoms. Below a short list of reasons for this suggestion and some bonuses:

- Rank gets priority joining any Ambrosia server with auto-join feature over randoms (during peak times sitting in the queue for 15 mins is frustrating) (not sure if thats even possible, but just spit balling here) (even more annoying as an admin trying to get on and ban someone)
- Allows them to change nickname without getting the attention of admins for being dodgy (has happened before)
- Admins can keep better track of 'new to the server players' & 'vet player with a stupid new nickname'
- Not saying they should not be punished for breaking the rules but instead of it being at the admins discretion have a bit more leverage perhaps (might be pushing it with that one)
- Starting with bit more money over random bots for the first round say 1500/2000?
- More hp perhaps? 120 hp over 100. +5/10 per kill?
- Possible end of round vote system that will punish a certain player with minus hp for not attempting to plant/defuse by his/her own team based of a yes/no poll

Players could work towards getting this rank as they do with the ladders atm. Breaking the rules often would result in the player getting a demotion of rank and/or ban for the rule they broke.

So many players on the server are helpful to the admins, correctly using the admin_chat to report someone, noticing a possible cheater that has yet to catch the admins eye, warning other people for foul language and none English chat. This may be one of the reasons we could grant this status.

None of these set in stone of coarse.

Also on a side note allow admins to gag players. This could be part of the warning system for foul language/none english, writing random crap in the chat, spam or general annoyance.

chat/psay warning > gag/kick > chat/psay warning > timed ban?

It's a nice suggestion, as a suggestion, but I don't support it at all. Giving him so much advantages over others will make no sense. Futures as giving him more money and stuff will make it all not equal again, and players will start complaining.

Maby just add the old vip system, where players, get full admin access on all servers =)

Pay2Win never works for those who are in a community from poor countries.

I dont like the hp/money part.

Basically everything that gives the vip an advantage over other players is a no no. Giving him hp and more money is not a good thing, players will get jealous and to be honest it is not fair at all.
What I agree about is:
* Rank on the forums
* Slot reservation (for both admins and vips)
* If we give the admins a custom flag, that way admins are able to see the vips using "amx_who" and that way this will minimize the wrong bans (although experienced admins should not ban them, if they do that means they cannot differentiate between legit players and cheaters)

I disagree on all of them nearly

Tho admin's should be able to gag players,everyone knows there is that one little whiner/swearer on while you're playing,most of the latvian servers that I play on have it,and it works just fine.

but as for vip's having more hp or 16k starting cash is a no from me.

I wouldnt want to even play on the server then

then might as well add jetpack also

Suggestion Denied.

Reason: Giving out higher priority in game to those who pay is not our story around here. The only thing you can get by paying is admin and have admin access (which is not a priority but a Job). Vip around here is partial admin access which is the same as Admin. Personally and speaking for most of the Ambrosians:I would never play on a server where some player has 200 hp because he paid. Don't let money ruin Ambrosia.
