Thanks from France

[Wylloh]

hi,
I have created this thread to thank eGO team.
I'm wylloh, a member of Supr?me-?lite, a french team.

One year ago, our server was a french ba_jail like others, with a lot of problems of administration, team balance, etc...
I used to go with friends (maybe you remember bayeux, say it bayu) in the eGO jailbreak (despite the ping 150 ms).
But since September we had changed our rules, and started with eGO rules.
We'll never get the eGO gameplay because french mentality is too different from the US one, but currently our server is full all the day(38slots), the administration needs are light and the gameplay is pretty good and balance.
We also use to play in many of your maps!

So, I wanted to thank eGO team, It's done!

I believe we had a thread where someone found out about that and we're actually pleased that our jail rules have managed to inspire other servers into maintaining a friendly, fun environment like ours. Well, thanks for thanking us!

Wylloh, glad you are enjoying the new jail!

I was about to go over to your forums and ask how things were but I couldn't find a translator =(. I found the French BA system to be rather ridiculous as the gameplay was to move the terrorists around from location to location (pool --> yard --> pool --> cage) without being killed.

I was really surprised when you changed the rules as the gameplay significantly improved and you actually used the maps to their full potential instead of just running amok. Maybe I'll pick up my French and start playing on your server again.

Have you made any changes to the rules that you found was helpful in improving gameplay?

Our rules(WIP new version) : http://supreme-elite.fr/regle/reglese.html

some differences with eGO:

We forbid the guncheck at the start (unless a CT is hurt)
We forbid the order crouch unless it's a game
We add restriction in hazard games (12 or less players 50%max couch)
We add map specific rules

and many other things.
I change the rules and make it to balance the teams.

The following balance is with new player models and make each T with a different skin to make them recognizable - then we'll delete the name of T who kill CT (in the upper right corner).

But, like I tell the french mentality is different,
Example: if you say "les Terroristes vous ne bougez plus" (all T freeze) you'll never see them really freeze, except in gunchecks we are tolerant (It's like CT are afraid from the T).
Maybe it's because of the french BA influence
Maybe it's because frenchies are too kind

Every time I play on a French server everyone seems to work together a lot better to accomplish the goals (your Zombie Escape server is amazing). You guys actively try to have a good time on your jail server and it's clear your rules help make it fun for everyone.

On our server we tend to shoot a lot of people for simple mistakes (small twitches). Thumbs up for French BA Jails. :thumbup:

I think this will get confusing but I want to play when it comes out just to see how it works. Any idea of when it'll be rolled out?

I simulatenous work in the new rulesbook, a map and the models; maybe 2-3weeks!

Thank you for saying so Wylloh! Makes us feel we've done our job right!

Thanks for your kind words, if you ever have any problems in our servers and no one is there to enforce the rules give me an add!
