In lieu of the fact that many new =(e)=s are from our AVA server and frequent it, will there be a house that's home is AVA? Also, how many new =(e)=s would be pro active enough to fill the slots. Not a poll just curious of some new recruit intentions.
Ava house?

This is fairly unlikely, as no news houses are planned at this time, and likely won't be for awhile. Additionally, the majority of our houses encourage their members to play across all eGO servers, and so most of the houses are not officially tied to any map. Exceptions to this are the Sewer Rats and Kustom Kettle, but their members are still encouraged to play all over.
In fact, even within the Scrim Program, the home map concept will be eliminated at the end of this season (in a matter of weeks at this point).
That's not to say you (or anyone) are not encouraged to enjoy whatever server you like best. Play as you wish, where you wish. The best method of really determining which house to join is to play with the different members and see who you like. It's more a matter of people and personality than maps...

I couldn't have said it better, Nice one Spetz
There's a BIG misconception going around eGO - that each house has it's own server/"home". That couldn't be farther from the truth. Houses don't "own" a server - it's not their's, it's eGO's. The servers belong to the entire community, not one specific house. If you want to play in a certain server, feel free to - it doesn't matter if you're a Reservoir Dog, Raider, Sewer Rat, DAM Buster, or Kustom Kettle. The Houses were NOT created with the intent to make "little clans" within eGO. If any of the houses become extremely introverted, and isolate themselves from the rest of the clan - then it will only lead to problems. (i.e. JONES) I think our efforts should be focused upon helping the clan as a whole, with less emphasis on house status.

Didn't know we only have 5 houses 
Anyways, servers nor maps are NOT owned by any house specific. Maybe majority of house plays somewhere, but they are encouraged to play any other map as well, expecially KK

Some houses do call specific maps Their "home map" and that is ok. That being said no house has taken ava under thier wing. Council however will be paying very close attention to those that play and love Ava. There WILL be field promotions to eG and eGO for those that spend more time in AVA. There are no plans at the moment to add any new houses.
I realize the houses do not 'own' a server. As Slayer said it was in reference to each houses 'home map'. Further more I was asking since I'm not in the know of the future plans of eGO I had no idea if any house had intentions of making ava home. I could care less about promotions, being an admin isn't going to make me play better and we now seem to have a steady stream of admins in ava. My reasoning was based that ava is my parent map I didn't to join a house only to jump ship later. Thanks for the replies and suggestions.

FL's home map is ava, but I encourage you to consider [7] for they are a fairly new house.
Indeed, Unit 7 is our newest house and is always growing. They will be part of our next scrim season with the other 6 houses.
Please note though that the concept of "home maps", at least within the official scrim program, will cease to exist within mere weeks. We'll be switching to a randomly selected maps (a different map for each week) that all scrims for the week will take place on.
Of course, all our current favorities, such as Ava, Donner, Kalt, etc, will each get their own week.
