Thoughtful Discussion: Highschool Server

[C7R35]

A toggle that us senior admins *brushes shoulders* can toggle on/off. That way we don't have to constantly grab an advisor/DL/Council member to do it, like we do for the bots in CS:GO.

I had an idea as well; I don't know if this was brought up already, but maybe we can start advertising the Highschool server on our other servers, especially the Italy and Dust servers which typically are mostly full. We can have an automatic chat message that tells players to check out our Highschool server, we can have the admins talk about it every now-and-then, etc. I've played on other clans' servers in different games, and their admins would use all-chat or even god-chat (you know, the @@@ in all chat deal) to advertise their other servers, usually at the beginning of the round when all of the players are alive and playing.

Even if this only snags another 5 players or so, it's still a bump in activity. Who knows? If a pub decides to hit the Highschool server and they like it, it would be a great opportunity for us Recruiters/players to snag them into eGO so they can be a part of such a wonderful community! It's just a thought! ^^

Im guessing your talking about the all talk idea. I know tf2 has this in all there servers. They can type a command like rtv, where after a certain amount of votes it will turn on all talk for the reminder of the map. Its an interesting idea and doesnt force a vote every time the map changes so it wont annoy people.

I've played on a server where you can type !settings and choose if you prefer awp on and friendly fire on. Then depending on who's playing these switch on or off. Could be a good idea for the server, means your setting is always on and then if more than 50% of the players who join want it on it toggles on

Edit : Meant the plugin was for alltalk not awps lol

And is it not possible for all talk to only be enabled when you're dead? So when you're alive only your team hears you and you can only hear your team ( those who are alive ) however when you die you can speak to and hear all dead people?

People like to call strats alot of time on highschool, with this for some reason i think everyone will always vote yes for the all talk but then dislike it when they can hear the other team.. Also alot more ghosting will happen. On the plus side I let's us talk to each other and "have fun" with everyone on the server if people actually wanna hear everyone that is...

Maybe we type a command like !alltalk and then it brings up a vote like
Turn alltalk on?
1)Nothing (No vote to prevent spam of 1)
2) Nothing (No vote to prevent spam of 2)
3) Yes - 5 rounds
4) Yes - Whole map
5) No (I'm sweating over here)

Something along those lines and then say like the answer needs atleast 55% of people to vote yes to turn alltalk on if its split between 3/4 then just turn it on for 5 rounds?

Also if voted no make it so it can only be voted for every like 10 rounds or if the amount of players changes dramatically since lat vote from 4 people to 20 then its allowed to vote again?

About the AWPS, they suck

About friendly fire, creates more rules more warns/kicks/bans more problems and we're suppose to be like a casual server with a hint of proness, We dont need it xD

ALSO About what snuggle said with the all talk we could scrap the whole plugin stuff and just have it so if points aren't activated (believe thats up to 8 people then its active at 9? or something) then alltalk is activated so that people can talk to each other, when points are off people don't care if they die and want fun and most of the time want to fill the server could be a boost to help fill the server with alltalk on until points are on?

About the second thing "advertising in other servers" Instead of individuals going into other servers and trying to get people we could have a chat program where;

It detects whats lowest in people out of our servers, if two servers+ are at zero prioritize like this Hs>jail>office>italy>dust2 then it can send out a message saying like "Help fill our Highschool server! Click here to join now!" Possibly have a kind of lottery thing again where if that chat gets like 5 clicks it activates and out of the people who clicked it they get a chance to win a certain amount of credits (dependent on how many in the server, also credits get given out at the end of the map for chance to get people in and to see if they stay and dont just join for credits)


Also this is a long shot and would take alot of time and effort but if we tried to recruit more and more world wide players like the UK for example the servers would maybe have more people in them during the early morning hours for america and give it a boost at the start of the day.. or even from countries +1,2,3,4 GMT so that they end school earlier wake up earlier than america and possibly fill it earlier??

Long shot i knoww

Fill it up, don't let it reach the same fate as Blackmesa in TF2, it was the most crowded server TF2 had about a year and a half ago, now the server is gone and Blackmesa is played only every sunday night.
