Warden Contest

First I want to wrap up our Warden contest. Sorry for running behind on announcing the winner here... got a bit sick and distracted. Congratulations to Syrus on winning. He was selected randomly out of a hat to win the CSGO keys. We still need more good wardens so jump over to CT. Our new achievement coin will be going live later this week.

Server Boss

Next, we need to issue a congratulations to Nick for becoming our newest Jail Server Boss. As the rules state, he will serve for three months or until he becomes incapable of serving in the position. At a pivotal point for Jail, Nick hopes to step in and bring some more communication and bridge the gap between Leadership and our player base. He plans on making an official post later this evening with further details.

Server Ranks Update

It's a roller coaster, that's for sure.

server_rank.php


Our ranks currently at #1,548. Our ranks go up, then they go down, then they go up, then they go down. We really have been unable to break that 1000 mark that is important for us to move forward to. I know with the dedication that our players have that we can surely crack that top 1000 mark. With the current inconsistency of our server performance it still leaves the future of the server in a weird lull. We really need to push together as admins and members and make sure that the server has players during the important hours of the day (3:00pm ET - 11:00pm ET).

Remember that a good way to help with server population is seeding the server. Doing homework? Have to eat dinner? Jump in spectator and seed a slot for a bit. It's also very helpful overnight.

Map Updates

We are getting some map fixes in regards to the broken textures. It's a work in progress.

Biggest change jail needs? Recruitment. We get a fair few pubs, and as someone new to the division I look and assume these people probably been spammed with join requests. In DoD:s, we stayed alive, and still do, through jumping on any new pubs, and making them members - it would be hard to find pubs who hadn't been asked a fair few times...

Most pubs in jail haven't been asked once when I ask them. If that's the case, the server will never grow.

I got one guy signed up, he came back day after day, this can be the case with 10 new members a week. Embed them into the jail community, grow us to 100 regular jail-playing members within 10 weeks

So, everytime you see a pub, get them signed up, get them into an event. They'll get the rank up for us, nothing else needed - no fiddling, more members.

Jail-specific recruitment drive is the way to go. It's the fundamental principle of eGO that has made it so successful and long lasting imo. Ranks attract members, members register those attracted, servers remain full. GG
