Finally in 2016 i decided to move and try to be promoted to SM/HA (as you like to call it) and try to work and improve the server once for all. After helping Eros as much as i could and seeing that the server was empty and dead i offered myself for the job. Yes, i was denied. Andrew was chosen as SM and he did a good work. I did an admin application and eros once again (having in mind what i did) denied me.
The first sentence, gladly you are not denying it. You were annoying me while I was setting up the server. You gave me suggestions (which is the only thing you could do) which were completely off the subject of the server, time and time again I told you that the server is not old Jailbreak and that you need to see it and play it first to understand it, yet you were bothering me so much that it was obvious that all you cared is for you to be promoted, but not care for what I said. So simply didn't listen, same as the reason I had enough when I told you 3 times that we gave a fresh start to everyone who was banned in the past and they are not banevaders. 3 times? What do you do? Go and ban someone "he banevading"........... That was the last straw. The fact is that I could not even consider you for the position because of what you was doing. You didn't show me that you cared for the idea, you showed me you cared to only be SM. In the right mind no one who has sense would promote you.
You think you can do a better job, maybe, but you don't give me or anyone the confidence to do so. This suggestion list you have created. Honestly most of that is unusable and makes no sense, clearly you want the old JB back and I rather shut PB down and done with JB permanently, because old JB is not worth our time and money. You still don't have the right attitude towards the server and I can tell by the suggestions you are giving. I cannot have someone leading the server and the admin team if they don't see the direction to go to. Don't think it's a personal attack against you, but because of what you said, I had to say this.
[error]- Social networks: just use it to promote the server. What i see is that if we work hard on it we can success.(for example make an official topic requesting people to do a video or manage a social network , making them do a word document saying all what they have done to promote the server in the social network. It should be done they monthly)[/error]
I like how your first suggestion is "Promote the server" after you have said that the server is not ready to be played and advertised. Nutshell much? Advertising will happen when the server is ready and we have specific people appointed to do so. Why do you think I haven't pushed for it to be advertised. Clearly there is something wrong with the server, or rather the attacks we are getting all the time. Hence why we haven't had the chance. Also there is another reason, but that is for my mind only.
[error]- Change the maps many times, people like it and they want to try new map but having always old and gold maps[/error]
I explained it yesterday and maps are not the problem in the slightest. It is good to have a rotational list apart from that, I will personally go through what and how I see it fit for the maplist of JB. Andrew pretty much covered it.
[warning]- Get a DDoS IP protection backup to have 2 ips to join to the server (I have seen this in a few servers)[/warning]
Do you have the money? These things cost money.. Ever thought of that? Regardless, it is already in plan to do so by Ron later on when we are ready to do so.
[error]- Create new games , a topic where all can give ideas and try it out and make top 5 better games of the month/ 2 months (chosen by the own sm) and the first 2 will get gold. This will be especially important due to a suggestions written down)[/error]
Anyone can do this, no? You could approach SM and say you want to do this and all you need is his approval specially if you want to give gold away. See this is the thing, there are people who just complain without any help, then there's people who suggest tons, but don't take initiative to do something about it, and you are in this category. You are aiming for SM? Start by doing things what you can actually do. Take initiative. I like people who take initiative and do things.
[error]- Add ghost plugin and try to make it work with the main plugin (in nd people love it). If not, change the current plugin for other (In my opinion if it needs to be changed because it is overload then do it. We didn’t have this plugin for years and nothing happened). Hey, I am totally aware that the current plugin and his HARD work is enormous[/error]
Plugin list on the server has to be kept at minimum and only to add things which are necessary. I do not see how ghost plugin will improve the quality of the server. We always have to be mindful of how many plugins we add as tony's plugin crashes on it's own and theres little we can do about it as it will happen due to being such a large mod.
[okay]- Add only 170 min to be a ct, the time of 4 maps, more than enough because the current time requires a long period to be CT and players haven’t that patience -usually-[/okay]
I would approve of lowering the time. What is the actual time at the moment?
[error]- Boost it 1 time per week (maybe)[/error]
Anyone can do this, no?
[error]- Have a staff who listen, help the server admins/players because we have not this at the moment. All we have are inactive admins or admins who dont care a lot about helping.[/error]
Are we in the same universe? I am sorry if I am going hard on you, but are you absolutely serious? Your activity isn't the greatest either also I don't see a lot of people applying to be admin which then in turn has a problem of server coverage. You cannot really say that admins are inactive, because f*** me, there are only 6 admins in JB (- tony as he is exempt and - Andrew as he is SM) So leaving 4 admins. Anyhow, there will be changes and I have figured another method of dealing with this issue.
[okay]- Change name from gold to “Ambrosia Pounds”. I am sure that they will enjoy the new name more than “gold” which sounds really normal.[/okay]
Meh, gold is easier to say. Make a poll and let people decide, see other names to replace it as well not just 2 options. Again, you can do this, you can easily make a poll. Anyone can do these things, because if you are right, people will support the idea and vote for it. That also means we have to look into it because we haven't thought about it. Something I told you yesterday.
[error]- Change the shop by adding and remove more/less stuff. It needs a serious update because at the moment it is boring and it doesnt offer much stuff.[/error]
Ok, so the plugin updates are probably not going to happen any time soon as I am inactive and Tony is not here either, I have asked of him a lot and I believe he doesn't expect me to work on constant updates for the server and I don't expect it from him. I will sooner or later address this issue with certain things, but not right now.
[error]- Bring back blackjack yes or yes (important). It doesn’t matter if it is difficult or not, even if the plugin is changed.[/error]
No.
[error]- I know how prisonbreak goes but we shouldn’t think “ it means this is a rolepay of a real prison so this must be as real as possible” it is better to do what players like if we want to bring players to the server so I vote to change the current skins for others which are cooler as all the servers have differents skins and pretty cool ones.[/error]
No, you don't know how "prisonbreak goes" because if you did, you wouldn't write the words you wrote here. No one is making it "realistic", are you realistically in prison? No. How do the skin change make the server realistic or unrealistic? This makes absolutely no sense. But again, you could of made skins or found the skins and made a topic about it and people could vote for it.
Yet again, you could of actually done the work ages ago. And you know what if you were doing these things, I would of noticed and I'd be like, heck he really wants to help JB grow and be better.
[error]- Add/remove admins directly -RIGHT NOW, NOT INTHE FUTURE- it is the most important thing. If you check dd2 admin list you will see admins who didn’t join for weeks or months and the current SM did a topic to write that they are active giving them 2 week or 1 month to answer. In my opinion it shouldn’t be like that, if they didn’t care about the server for weeks they have desmotrated how much they like the community or how much they wish to work. If they went afk, they had to give a reason if they didnt it is obvious.[/error]
What does DD2 has to do with JB? You are forgetting only 4 admins and there aren't that many worthy candidates applying at least in Andrews eyes. About removing them, it makes no difference, because think about it, does it affect server performance? No it only makes you and other admins bitchy about no admin being online. Everyone got a life too so we have to respect that and not look at other peoples needle in the haystack, because seriously you should only be as helpful as you can be and do your best.
[error]- Do 1 event every 2 weeks always, like: people in a topic apply for a team of 2 that will play a soccer match , they play the match and the result is written in the topic. People will play it and they ill be playing the server for the match.[/error]
Anyone can do this? Can;t you organize it? Why does SM has to do that when he is doing other things as well? As you know Andrew has been inactive. So why not do it yourself? Heck you don't even need anyones permission to do this. Organizing things is good and you have the duty of care to do it yourself if you think it is a good idea. Why not?
[error]-DO a poll to know if people liked the map. When you add a map and after you play it, do a poll which says (for example): Did you like the map? Yes a lot, Not at all, regular. To know players opinions too and if we shoud remove or keep the map. They wont troll the polling as i have already done and it was a successful test.[/error]
Merely I cannot say it makes a difference. You can see in gametracker the most popular maps played. In other way, as you said you have been doing this, so why is this a suggestion? You can just tell Andrew that you made a vote and people said this about this map and then Andrew can think whether map is good or not.
[okay]- Remove old topics of jb section and leave the important/new.[/okay]
I suppose it needs some cleaning indeed, but wouldn't worry about it just yet.
[okay]
- Add Knife skins (they can choose between the predetermined and other more) showing them more skins in the list with no choice to have them without paying to be VIP. I have seen this in more servers and there were a few VIP to have the skins.Even in ND they have skins to choose.[/okay]
Funnily enough I already added a knife skin to the server last week. No one told me though
I tested it, it works. All I need to do is find good knife skins. But then again the knife plugin will add more download so again have to be mindful of what we add to the server.
[okay]- -every 2/3 months do a polling to know who was the best commander, prisoner etc..[/okay]
It could be done.
[error]- It is prisonbreak, but we need to have limits. They can use the mic but never spam the mic to annoy the ct (cts will no longer have to say “spam you die”). The players use to mute veryone and then they cant know what the rest are commanding/saying. Make limits in insults (they can flame all they want to each other always they don’t say nigger and these kind of words). [/error]
And this is what I mean when I say you don't get PB. I explained it yesterday that the CT has the power to do things. Is it my fault that you are not creative enough to find the bugger? If you are commanding and because of your lack of attention someone escapes and starts shouting on microphone, you bloody deserve it. Because that's what I'd do. Did you know that if there is an admin online, you can bribe the admin to either revive the guy or slay him? Or how about bribe another prisoner to lead you to him? Or if all else fails and you can't find him? Kill yourself. There is a lot of freedom and options for CT's. as long as these are not abused, lets say you cannot keep bribing for the same thing as I have pointed out and also killing yourself just because someone escaped all the time, that would mean laming and you shouldn't be ct. --- this what I said yesterday, not sure if you missed it.
Insulting/Swearing is part of the fun of the server and it is allowed. When I do it in server I do it in good humor and that's what it should be like for most people, yet if people do take it too far, perhaps they shouldn't be there if they are taking things personally. I have said that the server is not for kind hearted and I am not going to change that.
[error]- -Make the ratio 1:3-1:4 oblitatory in any case.[/error]
It's 1:2 already, even stated in the introduction to PB which apparently you have read? This is another thing when you were annoying me with suggestions, I told you read the topic, how many times I said? Because you weren't listening.
[warning]-Make 2 spectators: one which the ip of the ts3 server and other with the ambrosia website. [/warning]
There are advertisements on the server, which needs some updating. But mhmm, that wouldn't be a half bad idea at all, specially right now when the server has never been 32/32. First great suggestion which can actually be thought about. Well done.
[error]-LR (Last Request) needs to be fixed. With it I mean to add more games and remove others which are not good and never are used.[/error]
It is not broken. Again as I said earlier, tony is not updating the plugin and lr is standard for the server. What makes the server different, it is the commanding officer/guard with his/hers commanding, which either makes it fun or boring. LR is only a thing to win over CT and get gold. Not a major thing, later on when there isn't much to do, that can be addressed.
[error]-HAT MENU: you press m and hat menu and there you can choose between many hats. It is cool because ppl love to wear it and it doesn’t overload the server.[/error]
No.
[warning]-Add a command /prisonbreak or /pb in the server where you can find a full explanation about how it works. It is needed because when the server was boosted I was asked how this mod was played so it would help a lot.[/warning]
I am sure there is MOTD which has the topic in it, if it is removed then thats another thing, I need to re-check that. This is on to do list either way.
[error]-Take 1 hour 2 days every week to teach the interested players to be good commanders or even new admins to be good admins. It is easy to do and it can help a lot.[/error]
Anyone good can do this. And if it's easy, why don't you do it?
[error]-MAPS: (only a few of them)
http://maps.cs-bg.info/maps/cs/3289/ it is in many maps
http://gamebanana.com/maps/162943 - again in many servers
http://gamebanana.com/maps/195379- the same
http://gamebanana.com/maps/188451 - the same
http://gamebanana.com/maps/187036 - same and we had this in the past[/error]
Will check later.
[error]-RULES TO BE ADDED:
No Racism nor excessive harassment of players
No Use of blank / offensive name or impersonating admins/players including alternate spellings. [/error]
No.
In overall your suggestions as you can see, have been taken apart and now you have food for thought. It is easy to suggest, specially nonsense, but it is a lot harder to actually take an initiative and do things for the benefit for everyone without expecting that someone else is going to do it. Also, note to you, I know you have been playing a lot in ND server hence why your activity lacks in our server. You are still aiming for the SM role, but unfortunately it will be a no as Andrew is actually doing things and he was doing things before he got accepted.
Take it with a pinch of salt, but if you like the server as much as you claim, there are a lot of things you could be doing yourself. Take charge instead of waiting for someone else to do this.
