Should we have a complete roaster?

Should we have a complete roster?

Hmmm, vent is a great tool but there are way too many eGO I do not know. I play DoD:S and INS for the most part.
Sometime I do need eGO to help me.

I am making this in a general forum so that every division can see this.

I mean a general roster, list all the eGO and eG.
Of course I can search the name in the system (HLStats)...

On vent you don't see any tag but DL and Council members.
What do you guys think?

Like a roaster listed all the eGO and eG for each division.
Even the double-division ?_? like me (playing both games) will listed on both INS and DoD:S.

So if eG and e go to vent, and need help from an eG or eGO, one can just CTRL+F search on the roaster, and quickly see who is eGO and eG.

What do you guys think?

There is such a list. I attempted to do that, but there is a problem. The list changes, and it takes a lot of effort to keep it to date and accurate. Leadership can generate a list with active admins. But you don't need one. Just play and you get to know people. Use Steam to add people to your friends, add eGOs and bug them. We are here to help and teach you guys. Use Shoutbox, Vent and IRC.

There is a post that shows you how to find people easy and many ways if you need to.

Vent is administrated differently, since it is open to anyone. I doubt it will be changed.

i'm not to sure how something as wide spread would work... its not a bad idea.. but thena gain there are how many people in this clan?? alot and would generally take a long time to get a complete roster filled up and by the time that happens what would you do when all the promos came out have to update it etc.. could get mighty annoying.. also i think the reason that most admins dont wear their tags in vent is well they are not just admins... they play the game for the joy of it too.. how would you feel if every other minute someone came and bugged you about something in vent... its not something anyone would enjoy yet its not something they would unwelcome.. the admins here are always here to help.. then again there are also lots of other friendly players (such as me) who if you didn't know which admins are on could kindly point you to one... this is supposed to be a friendly close knit gaming clan? i think a roster would make it feel more like a government job .. also to make a suggestion.. try finding the admins that are on during your play time.. as i play cs i notice hoodie and legend are on during evenings and angeal and bbunny are on during my 3am hours.. imo i believe an admin is more apt to help you if he/she knows you or plays with you.. that would alleviate a person running to the first admin they see on a *roster* .. see its 330 i should really go to bed.. lol

You mean ROSTER not roaster.

Yes, I know what you mean, it might be a little hard to create.

 

[robdog]

Hmm seems like a good idea... But yes, it would take alot of updating.

 

[jaxory]

Actually, I can't imagine this being too hard to do, especially with MAUL in place. You could even cross compare the list generated by MAUL to the userlist generated by the forums showing to show the active vs. inactive admins (comparing Usergroups on the forums vs. Access Level in MAUL). This would let both lists to update automatically. Then if they wanted to take it a step further, they could make it so MAUL adds a field to check which games you play/have available to admin if they wanted to divide up the list further for easier readability.

I'm just not sure if they want to release that info.

Could you not compile a list based on the rank of eGO members?

We all have the option to display our e tag by our Avatar... could a list not be pulled from that and then created, formatted, and displayed on the site?

The information we need is already being recorded in terms of eGO ranks, we just need some super smart programmer to pull it out and display it properly.

 

[Major Payne]

Well...I don't think a roster will ever be created for the e's, especially based on the display tag on the forums. Anyone can turn it on, including people who just join to contest a ban. Also, e's come and go everyday.

 

[An_Idiot_Blooming]

Ah.

I wasn't aware that everyone gets the e tag.

 

[TaLoN]

I think we should have an eGO roast. We could start with PurpleNurple or Slayr357. We don't need a roster, let's have a roaster.

 

[bandgeek]

sounds good but like frank said it will always not be up to date
and if theres one for the e's boy will there be a lot!

 

[Jake_25]

hmmm i thought we did have that

 

[Major Payne]

hmmm i thought we did have that

Well I forget where Frank Booth posted his beautful attempt at making an eGO roster, but that's the only one I know of.

In eG and eGO private, we have extremely outdated rosters made by NinjaFluff from last year too, but like I said, very outdated.

EDIT: Just kidding, looks like we ditched NinjaFluff's rosters.

EDIT!: Booth made it about a quarter of the way through the D's

 

[Frank Booth]

This is what i tired to do. But gave up on it for several reasons, one being that updating it requires a lot, and it is no needed .

• !Woodstock! | =(eGO)=? | TF2 | STEAM_0:1:10710742 | Steam Community
  
• ( . Y . )Pola Negri | =(eGO)=? | DOD:S | STEAM_0:0:1015057 | Steam Community

Thanks, Frank.

Well we could do it an easy way

Filter HLXSTATS for eG and eGO and have it pull up list on fly, simple php script can do this, I will see if I get some time this or next week to do it

I second the motion! :w00t:

A full roster is a good idea, in theory, but there's just no "simple" way to make it work. This particularly applies to the =e='s; the roster probably changes by at least a dozen every day across all of the divisions.

Also, I recall specifically being told NOT to wear admin level tags in Ventrilo; it just mucks up the entire interface. I want to be able to see who's in what server, not what admin level they are. From what I've seen, 90%+ of the people in Vent (at least in the DoD:S section) are eG's or eGO's anyway. There are plenty of ways to call for backup if needed; the statistical probability of there being NOBODY AT ALL reachable in a worldwide clan like this, at any given time of the day, is very small. It's just a matter of how far you'll go to find someone.

The last community I belonged to did it a certain way. When you were accepted as a recruit, your division leader or someone designated by that leader would set up your profile. You would enter your name, gaming name, xfire / steam name. Then, when you were promoted, the same leader or designated person would update your position on the main roster.

Now, the group didn't have nearly as many people as edge gamers has, but it was a pretty good system. Just my 2 cents.

 

[trykael]

We talked about rosters several times before - it's not very feasible for our community. First, we tend to be very fluid...trying to keep it updated isn't all that easy. Second, it's not really a necessity - we have a member list here on the boards already - you can look in there for people. Third - our community is HUGE!

For now I don't think this is something we'll be doing.

 

[GardenGroveVW]

We have something in the works. Just hasn't been released yet. Give us a couple of weeks. Maul is being recoded this summer.

Maul V2, its going to be even better then the current system.

Just hang tight.
