Hey everyone, just got a few quick things to go over.

Servers have been doing really good, last week we saw a big boost, both servers got to numbers they haven't seen in a while. Please don't take those numbers for granted and be complacent with where they are. There is always room to do better.

Last week they were getting started mid-early afternoon. This week, not so much. As a result, they have dropped. I know it's finals week for some people, things to do, jobs to go to, obviously we know those things are important to you, but remember to help out whenever you can with filling/playing, even if it's just idleing for a while.

We want you guys to take the initiative on filling servers, it's not a job for just a few people or Leadership to do. I have a pretty stable/routine schedule, and if I get home and have to fill dustbowl at 6 pm, that's no good. That was what it was like months ago, not right now. The server ranks most certainly allow them to fill if you get a good number of people in there.

So:

I firmly believe that Turbine can get filled at 2 PM Central then dustbowl after by 3 PM central. That's for now, obviously we want to move them both up as time goes on.

Remember proper filling procedures. Invite people, play on the server as pubs come on to keep them interested, if any leadership is around ask them to do a steam group announcement. Once a server is filled, slowly filter over to the next one, don't all leave at once.

Get in teamspeak! It makes it much easier to coordinate with your fellow members, plus it's fun to hang out in there. No one there? Be the first! Invite people to hop in there with you, if people join then leave if there is no one there, doesn't help us out much.

Be mindful of how you are playing, make sure it doesn't get too overwhelming for some people.


Hope this helps. Let's keep moving forward!
 
Noted. Thanks, Mister36! You make some good points. Particularly the times it's good for us to get the server started by 2:00 PM Central... For people in the Eastern Time Zones, that's 3:00 PM. If you have a chance, put on a pot of coffee (or tea) while you idle a server after you get home. It REALLY helps more than you know!
 
I played for an hour from a train with LTE and an Xbox controller only to get killed by Pzycho :'D

To be fair, as I do see you mentioned, it's finals week and generally getting to the end of the school year. People get burned out and stressed out and would rather focus on ending the year as strong as possible.

I'd expect general activity to go up in the following week or two as people get into summer break and have more time and freedom away from exams, studying, and homework.

All that being said, the servers are doing fantastic and it's simply awesome to see. Of course we should stay dedicated to filling them and reasonably keeping them well-ranked. I'd love to extend my personal thanks to my fellow members for making this a fantastic gaming experience for myself and many others.
 
You are both pubstompers and shouldn't be allowed to play before servers are filled. :P

Halo, you should be stripped of your GO and banned.

Dear Dr. Rad,

I would say that execution of the second point would take care of 1/2 of your first point. That's some pretty good math there... Halo camps spawn and makes everyone leave - TRUST ME!

I'm usually hoovy running around giving out sandviches and high fives.

Remind me to shoot you in the head the next time you are NOT camping spawn with a pocket and handing out sandviches. ;)
 
Next time Halo or Steel are camping vents, I'm going to try having the whole team go huntsman sniper

This happens already /cry.

I've been pinned to the inside of the vents so many times that there's now a permanent Steelbilly odor that permeates the entire map. Totally unfair shooting friendly heavies as they try to dispense hugs and sandviches, but snipers have no *honor.

*fresh is excluded from this comment because he is Dr. Rad and I am a fanboi. If I was around in your hood while you were bunny hopping cars I would have been all:
