bitch please

us server- mvps gets intervention, eu- m40a3 xd

ZAM has been boring for the longest time now since about 1.5 the only other major thing that changed was raven, we all know what happened to that, what keeps me coming back is the people in the server, the people who play for fun and have a good personality, and now it seems less and less fun players are on and everyone is just a lame fucking duck

Ok so the reason I bumped that other topic was because at this time we are in the same position asking the same questions What to do with the US sever? As we have seen time and time again the us server get quite empty during the day, thats pretty normal during the week, but usually at night it got half full (or just half empty if you think like viirus) but lately it has done squat, jack shit, zip, nadda, zero. Random russians who wake up at night are out numbering it in the eu server, its just not being played. I don't want this topic to be about closing the us server or decreasing slots! I like to play on the us server, I would prefer it to eu anytime but when it rarely gets to "playable" numbers it just seems like a complete waste. Its still being paid for, money isn't the problem (yet) its a good thing new players on eu are still buying vips... But I still don't want to continue to waste it having it less then half full all day. So what I have noticed about it is that we use to have about 18 loyal players who would play it on a daily bases and then whether it would be randoms or eu players it could get full, but now even on weekends those 18 loyal players has decreased to maybe 9? Now I'm not sure why they stopped playing whether the don't have time anymore or they got bored and moved on to other things. But that's not all, when I do play it many times I see players who try to join end up just getting kicked right away because they have been banned (wrote a little about this in my new b3/rq system topic) But what I also see is regular rulebreakers from eu playing it, and I know the kind of rule breaking that happens when no admins are on. We also now have the UU knife server, which is also located in the us and more times then not I see more players there instead of in the us server. I'd be interested in what others have also noticed on why maybe it isn't being played anymore. Solutions- What are some things we can at least try, right now not changing anything would be the worst thing we can do I think. So we can use this to gather ideas on how to make it more playable for new or old players Some things I thought of, was having more bots, a lot of people wish they could play zam in a private match or they go there to play alone with bots, maybe we could spawn 8 bots instead of 4 at the start to spice it up a bit, maybe a more kid friendly training type server with really easy spots. Maybe it could be ONLY small maps, maybe a map with only parkour, and it will use the new small bunkers coming. This might sound dumb but maybe run a different mod on the server, it can be just like zam or zam related like party games, or an older version of zam or a knife version of zam...or well a 1.8 test version of zam, something that can make it different from eu so it might bring some eu players to it besides just the ones who come to break rules, maybe a zam with no rules!?!?!!? All of these are just ways that the us server can be changed, I'd like to hear what you guys especially players from the us server think

its called roll the dice not roll op shit, need bad things too

look at my horse give it a lickclassixz weird

yezz the is a rq solution but like I said making someone a zombie could still be a very effective way for punishing things like not playing obj, camp as zombie, breaking cades, but obviously if someone is like glitching temp bans will be enforced

ok so if I'm the only zombie and I RQ, even if I'm perm banned, are the survivors going to happy with 0 zombies? your jail logic is completely wrong, at most half right. You said it PREVENTS them from breaking your pc but your pc is already broken, the only thing it does is prevent it from happening to others in the future

Can easily have message from console saying check out the new rules using !rules, and when they are killed at the start of the round a message would poop up you have been placed under a zombie ban bla bla 4 rounds till unban. Just because change people can't cope with change doesn't mean change is bad. For instance- ye not owning slaves is a cute idea but how would the farmers pick their cotton ;_; pls gaben yez console can kill them, what we are debating is whether or not random zombies should be picked like normal for instance 2 players have a zombie ban, 16 players in the game so 3 zombies will be picked, so it be the 2 zombie bans and 1 random player, or 3 random players and then the banned players I think that the players that follow the rules should have a less likely chance to become first infected usually the level of fun I have as a zombie depends on everything the survivors do

ok edited it, now hopefully it'll work :unsure: would also like to say when I said the penalties get smaller that would be like - leaving with 5,6,7 zombies in 1 day or 3 zombie round - and leaving with 8,9, or 10 zombies 3 hours or 2 zombie games

well here we are again 24 hours later and less and less voting activity so the less and less I will care for the communities opinion ^_^ ty for all your considerations Now here is what the system will HOPEFULLY be in 1.8 if everything is possible If the someone rage quits as first zombie(whether they lag out or what): -It will be an automatic 2 day zombie ban, this gives them 2 days to make up the ban if they want to play. The way they make up the ban is by playing 5 rounds as one of the first zombies, otherwise they can play normally as survivor when the ban is expired -If they rq as first zombie a 2nd time(in a 2 week span) they will receive a 3 day zombie ban and have to serve 7 rounds as a zombie in order to play normally again.(in the 3 day window) - a 3rd time rage quitting(in a 2 week span) will then be a 4 day zombie ban, having to play 9 rounds as a zombie in order to play normally. As you can't see the pattern heres how it will work - every time they rq an extra day is added to the zombie ban, and the rounds needed to play to get unbanned goes up by 2. (starting at 5 then 7, 9, 11, 13 etc..) - After 2 weeks (this length could be changed to a month if decided) the ban system would reset everyone's bans. So a players first rq would then be back to a 2 day zombie ban along with 5 zombie games - If the 2 week reset is during someones ban, the remainder of that zombie ban will be served. For exp... griggs gets banned for 6 days(5th rq) on friday, even if the reset occurs over the weekend his zombie ban will last until Thursday the next week. - If a player was to leave the game again while serving their zombie ban an extra day will be added to their ban and the appropriate rounds would be added to it ( the same applies if they get kicked for inactivity) this way they cant just go on youtube and not play objective This is how we would deal with RQ as First Zombie the rest of the numbers up until 11 zombies will shrink from this Now I think this system would work best is only if B3 handle it. The reasons for that is because in the past when we talked about a new system on how to deal with rage quitters when less than 10 players we had it so if they had a certain amount of kills or deaths they could leave, but then many admins thought that was too hard and way to much just to keep track of simple kills and deaths of a zombie. Now the people who voted wanted it so that bans would only be implemented by admins and not b3, so I ask; can admins handle this? Can admins remember the system? Can admins be on ALL the time enforcing this? It's obvious that trying to have at least one admin be on the server at all times has failed, yes their are 4-5 people that would make fine admins right now if we added them to the staff team, but other than that nobody who plays zam actively can handle it (everyone else in the server is kids). This is why I think it should be handled by B3. Now many of you might think why even have admins than, but I say tell me an admin whos ONLY job is to ban rage quitters and nothing else, I would have that admin demoted right now. Their would still be many other duties admins would have concerning rules/ players etc.. I also think we can make it easier for admins by giving them a new command, since I've been calling them zombie bans it seems logical to just make it !ZB What this would do is give players zombie bans the same as B3 would !zb griggzor 2d rq so just as before griggzor would have 2 days where hes unable to play normally or 5 rounds as a zombie to work off the ban I think things such as camping as a zombie, or breaking cades, or disrespect, or many other rules could be resolved by this, its a more effective way to handle rule breakers than just flat out banning them. Another reason this works is because it gives players a chance to unban themselves, those people who lag out, those people who need to go eat dinner, those players like olabais who get banned and then take over a week arguing over an appeal, when players can simply join back and work off their ban, than the server can be full of players that follow the rules, but also players that are responsible and understand the consequences of their actions. You might think well these rules just help or encourage more rule breaking because they can just unban themselves, but what I really want it to do is help the players that usually don't break rules not get treated like someone who has 20+ bans. The players that constantly rq will still be able to play unless they want to play 25 games as a zombie, I think they will just except not playing like usual for 4-5 days. Also like to mention admins would still be able to tempban !tb as normal if they feel that is the next step appropriate I have updated the poll Please share any thoughts or questions or concerns below :)
