    First of all, how am I supposed to believe you when you first ask for a mechanic to play as a starting zombie, then proceed to say that mother zombies are unfun to play as? Second, just because a few players do not wish to play as mother zombie doesn't mean that all players find it unappealing, and if it was like that, then we would have an issue where most or all mother zombies are going afk, which would be heavily noticeable. Third, the issue of mother zombie being unappealing for a few is completely separate from requesting to choose which side you start on. 

     

    Lastly, inflation isn't tied down to points. Harder maps tend to have more people inflating. This is simply because certain players find it more appealing to play as zombie on those maps. It is already hard to win as a human on these maps, and having the right player in the zombie position pretty much ruins the entire session into a constant stream of losses. Then there are those who purposely wish to cause trouble for the majority, and those who just find winning as a zombie 9 out of 10 times more appealing than loosing as a human 9 out of 10 times. Letting these players freely choose to play as zombie is the equivalence of inflating, which like I said, has been an issue in the past.

     

    No,  just focking stop. There is nothing more cancerous than implementing something, consequences occur, and then blaming the playerbase or the admins for not playing in X manner and Y strategy.

     

    Wait a second, I'm pretty sure that you were the one to suggest that if it becomes a persistent issue that admins should come and turn it off manually. Now it's boiled down to "we should have the mechanic, and close the server when admins aren't on"?

     

    Because the two would go hand-in-hand with eachother. Zombie is boring as fuck right now and dont even try to tell me people actually look forward to being selected as MZ because they don't.  This is a solution to lazy inflating where you can be a starting 8 and not be ostracized for it, while also encouraging those to play as zombie by rewarding points. Why are you so scared of having zombies that know what they're doing? Humans can be as skilled as they want but no no no can't let zombies get too good or else the game isn't fun. Just listen to yourself that's ridiculous.

     

    If hard maps tend to have more people inflating already why not take away their ability to dramatically lower the human chances by killing themselves mid round but instead making them a starting 8? How is that such an imbalance that it will become unplayable? You have 50 humans with guns, why should you get to brag when you beat a map but zombies can't feel accomplished for stopping you. You seem to be really concerned about this but since basically that's the only time you join to play I can't really take your input as gospel.

     

    As for your last point.  I did say if maps have overpowered zombie items this feature should be turned off, but you don't need an admin on to toggle each time. If we can single out these what 5 maps (if that) from the rest it can be done automatically.

    Admins are not always on

     

    I wouldn't mind hearing which maps these are and then having a discussion whether to have the choose your side plugin active. If 3 maps are like that why generalize and discard the whole idea? The fact that admins aren't always on argument does nothing for me. If that's the case why even have the server open if someone's not always there to babysit.

    Can't wait to choose to be MZ every round and take OP zm item and kill the entire team.

     

    What's wrong with a zombie that's gonna try? Why not have CTs learn to stop these items? Would make for a better experience imo and be more gratifying when I take that screenshot after shutting you down. 

     

    If there is a persistent issue why not allow admins the ability to turn the feature of choosing sides off for a map?

  4. If you read my first post about human vs zombie then consider that a solution to zombie inflating that was pertinent back when points were given for playing as a zombie. Right now, it's the worst thing imaginable to be selected as mother zombie. Nobody wants to play as one and instant spectating or afk is generally the result. Points as a zombie encouraged becoming one by either killing yourself or allowing to be knifed, which is where inflating came into play. What if points were turned back on, but only mother zombies get full points per kill while humans killed during the round get a fraction per kill like 1/5 the amount? I would really like to enjoy competing as a zombie once again and I know others would as well. If you take my suggestion of allowing you to choose which side you would like to begin a round as you can solve the issue of inflating while also getting people who actually try as zombie. The server was once at it's peak when you had people actually wanting to play as a zombie, and the human goal was to beat a map and not allow the zombies to get their points.

     

    If you didn't read the first post...basically let people choose which side they want to play as where as you start as mother zombie if you want to accumulate points instead of killing yourself as CT and inflating that way. Let's go back to the days where you didn't dread being chosen as starting zombie while also making completing a map as a human more satisfying because zombies are actually trying and you still crouched under those lasers.

  5. What we should do is have an expiration on mutes if the player shows commitment to the server and continues playing for a period after. It shouldn't be an easy milestone but I'm thinking more in kakarots case he still plays years after being muted. Make it like 100 hours playtime on the server for an unmute (sorry LQ). If they continue to offend then just mute them again and the 100 hours starts over. People can mature and see their wrongdoing and I just feel if you continue to play that long you should get another chance.

  6. Nades slow for 5 seconds and it's always been like that. And as far as I know unless it was changed slightly and nobody said anything I can't tell you the last time knockback was messed with except fucking up our novas. I don't play on very many other servers but I was  under the impression GFL settings were one of the more difficult for humans...besides the rebuy command. Maps are easier now ever since that plugin.

  7. He gagged me last week as well for 30 minutes because I asked why someone else was muted without a warning. Yes, that person was talking while someone else was leading but that person seemed new and there are better ways to handle it then an instant mute without any admin telling him to stop. That's also what mute rounds are for because we had tried that level 5 times and people were getting bored but god forbid anyone uses their mic. I asked why and was gagged (no reason given here either)

     

    Can we also make admin reports more accessible I couldn't find it then and eventually decided that if I did post something like this I would just get a response saying just wait out your 30 minutes

     

    *The person was muted earlier than this because they said his mic was bad. I didn't think it was terrible and asked why he was muted here as well. He came back with a better mic which lead to what happened above.

  8. Introducing: Zero Player Models Day 2019!

     

    But seriously, it's csgo not battlefield. Why is fps this big of an issue? And I remember when they experimented with a normal jump height. Shit was anarchy the server almost burnt to the ground.

  9. I'm not against rotating it. I'm just saying that it used to be frostdrake when frostdrake was at its peak.  It was always people trickling in joining the zombie team and wasted the map entirely because you need a team to beat it. Games is short and sweet, and a map 1 human can beat. If there is a map that can fit this criteria and "draw" players in then it should be on the next vote. Nicks whole reason that it puts a decline on the community was a bit out there.

  10. You can improve by not sounding so desperate to be admin every time you reappear on the server. It seems to me like everything positive you do is in some way just a plea to get noticed saying "hey look at all the good stuff im doing, I am admin material." But that's just been my impression. Don't get me wrong you should keep doing these things in order to be considered, but even this post pointing out how many hours you have in 2 weeks and that so many other admins have encouraged you to apply seems like a reach still. And don't you think if these admins really wanted you to apply you would have been admin already? Their intentions might not be the best if they're telling you that.

  11. If you don't care about being #1 then you can at least try it. The server hopping will be insane with players trying to get on a fun map or away from shit ones like final fantasy. Overnight hours will also reflect poorly on each one because while one server is asleep, any night owls will migrate towards the more populated one where players have congregated for better ping.

     

    It's never permanent though, and you can always revert back to just one when the overseas server becomes just an admin playground/training area...again.

  12. RTV triggers freeze@all for 5 seconds so people running away from zombies aren't annoyed by the vote box and look at the options. Profit

     

    We can also fuck with laser fags so why is this not implemented yesterday? I kid cause if we rtv it doesn't really matter at that point we're done here.

  13. Maybe people who know how to map can get it done in a month... but if the goal is to attract new people as well then how playable are those maps gonna really be if they have 30 days?

     

    We could think of something server side to help raise money for a prize pool like $5 to not be mother zombie for a week. Or donate a certain amount to become a judge. Because if we do extend it past a month like everyone is saying, I would like the mappers to feel motivated to keep going and get them submitted and a decent prize would do that.
