09/24 Server Update

Unread post by **captainAngry** » 24 Sep 2009, 10:56

Yesterday I removed nearly all the admins on the fun server. Everyone on the server now has access to teleport, votekick, voteban, votemute, karaoke among a few other things. Still working on tweaking all this stuff.

I am open to suggestions for adding new global powers, especially votes.

People probably enjoy listening to the music, but honestly i have NEVER seen anyone use karaoke as karaoke.
The radio would be a better (and quieter) option if all anyone ever does is listen and not sing.

The only reason I bring this up is because people continue to spam on their mics even when there's karaoke music playing. I mean..WTF.

It would be better on my website bandwidth to get rid of karaoke anyway...

I have a couple songs i want to add,How would I add them?

Unread post by **Divine Fate** » 24 Sep 2009, 10:09

It might be a good idea to kill karaoke. I've stopped working on it, and most of the already-posted songs are getting old.

Just curios, what's the command to acess the karaoke?

Unread post by **PhrozenFlame** » 25 Sep 2009, 04:03

It WAS a mod command and I think cap may have already killed it.

it was an admin option

I'm apologize if my opinion is seen as a bit rash, but this was the worst thing you've ever done for the funserver, captain. Everyone has been teleporting in ballistic amounts, and there are stupid and random votes being made. Also, by removing all the admins, you've removed any possibility of keeping the server in order.

Unread post by **g_e_oos** » 26 Sep 2009, 07:55

While I agree that the votes get a bit crazy, all the random admin crap happening is no different then it was. There are just more people doing it. Also, now that everyone has voting commands like vote mute/kick the entire group is there to keep order.

I'll be honest too, Although I didn't have powers in the first place, it's a pain in the ass now that everyone can do it, and just about everyone does. And also 'The Incredible Spycrab' always makes the most tedious and dumb votes. If you could, decrease the powers of regular players. I also think admins should be able to teleport other players because I'm sure many people don't really know how to teleport properly (In breakfloor people tele outside the map and cant back in, aswell as in gridfloor where people tele into just darkness,or into platforms). So yeah, I would think the server would be better if admins had more power. Plus teleing players is going to ruin the game for others who might not want to tele, or dont know how.

Unread post by **Beetle** » 26 Sep 2009, 12:36

teleing ruins the game either way, but its the fun server. I'm just glad its more apparent now that more than just a few people are abusing it.

Unread post by **PhrozenFlame** » 26 Sep 2009, 01:40

This seems to have backfired, but not a whole lot. These are the major problems I see:

1. The ridiculous votes. At the beginning of a round of breakfloor, someone made a vote to tele the entire blue team to the bottom. I understand that certain admins do this, but I just don't see a reason for the votes. My suggestion: Leave only the kareoke, votemute, voteban, and votekick option. The others seem a bit pointless.

2. Teleporting. This seems to be the main issue people are concerned about, and truely, I can see why. Teleporting behind the other team at the start of arena, teleporting into places you can't get out of, etc. My suggestion: Take away the non-admins teleport all together. It seems to be the only thing that would solve it.

3. The important votes. The votes I suggested to leave are the ones that are just getting ignored or are being denied. I can't make a suggestion other than lower the amounts of votes it takes to pass one of those.

Of course, this is just my two cents on the current standing of this.

I agree with Phrozen, it's just an idea but there's always the opportunity to change the funServer into a server that just runs the fun maps, nothing else. Leave the three important votes for kick, mute, and ban. Maybe in the future make it so that teleport must be bought for candy, but don't give it away for free. Until then, take it away from everybody.

Incredible Spycrab · Unread post by **Incredible Spycrab** » 27 Sep 2009, 07:01

I kind of agree with Divine, but mabey not candies Implemant a system where you get only 5 teleports a round, or 15 teleports every map or something like that..

How would you go on doing this stuff?

Unread post by **captainAngry** » 27 Sep 2009, 12:32

Teleport is a big problem. I think I am just going to get rid of it all together.

The other option would be to change it so you could only tele yourself...

Unread post by **PhrozenFlame** » 27 Sep 2009, 01:57

And even then, people would still just tele out of the map and get stuck on certain maps...

Incredible Spycrab · Unread post by **Incredible Spycrab** » 27 Sep 2009, 03:58

Teleporting is gone for non-admin

Incredible Spycrab · Unread post by **Incredible Spycrab** » 27 Sep 2009, 04:41

oh also, the !votemenu isnt working :\

Unread post by **Minus** » 27 Sep 2009, 06:18

I'm sort of glad it is...People kept complaining and complaining about not knowing how, and people who did know wouldn't tell others. Pain in the butt. Teleports should be admin only, and should stay that way, But make restrictions to teleports.

I think we're losing track of what it says the fun server was made for, and thats the admin abuse so we can keep it away from the main server, I'll admit it gets annoying on some more serious maps, but when you're on mario kart, and you can't tele around or tele people off the point when they're capping it (if you're actually having fun) then it gets pretty boring there. I do agree that we were getting too many admins, some people are really abusing their admin for fun, and others are just doing it until some higher admin tells them to knock it off, maybe we need to be a little more strict about who gets in the clan? or just give people admin after they've played longer and shown that they can handle it?

Unread post by **Minus** » 29 Sep 2009, 06:14

the server is also supposed to be fun for regular players. Also, would you kick some of the admins now or keep them and start recruiting more strictly?
By the way, I've also been here for a while. Hint hint.

Unread post by **StrudelB** » 29 Sep 2009, 07:10

I would look at the current admins, take out the ones who just need to go, and not recruit as many admins. If someone on the funserver wants to teleport, tough. They start playing on the regular server more and they get the perks.

Unread post by **Minus** » 29 Sep 2009, 07:22

Can't you just play on the funserver and eventually get admin? Admins still get on the fun server and get to know players...Just putting it out there.

But that's how the majority of "bad admins" joined cC. While the funserver is, well, fun, I think that it should be used to advertise the regular server, so we can get more people there.

Unread post by **PhrozenFlame** » 29 Sep 2009, 08:26

Yes, technically you can get admin by just playing on the fun server, though it takes quite a while. Being active on the forums helps though. (I actually got so active I have the 5th most posts on the forums.)

Unread post by **thedoghouse** » 19 Oct 2009, 10:10

I don't know what we should do, but we need more with at least access to the basics (kick, gag, maybe ban, and most importantly MUTE AND CANCEL VOTE) because its just getting crazy with all the random and messed up votes, people spamming stupid things, and having it just all around fall apart, I feel like everytime I play for more that 30 minutes I need to go scream at someone or something, and it happens almost everytime i'm on, not to mention the melee votes.

Unread post by **captainAngry** » 20 Oct 2009, 09:09

I know you guys don't really like it but that server is populated pretty often. If a melee vote wins on every map, maybe people like melee mode.

I believe every vote needs 65% to pass and if that many people want melee on every single map and are going to keep the server populated/full all day, I am hesitant to change that. I should be able to make melee votes require a higher percentage of people to pass.
