I know its been brought up before, but I forget why we don't have a duel server set up? Like mabey when the aurochs arent useing theres it can be a public duel server or something. (well not public but a duel server at least)

It's funny how many people know they have the right to remain silent, yet never do.

Poll
The JA might seem more welcomeing if it had a public server.

You mind PMing me what those are? I don't call coming across those word's meaning in the rules section. Also what is wrong witha duel server? cant you counter what ever cheapness they use some how?

CTF rocks, and it means we dont have to patrol for lamers.

i am thinking that the CTF serer would do better if it were a public server... A duel server iz a good idea too
:D

A public FFA server is probably not teh best idea since the JAK+ would have a hard time keeping order...(IMO)

I would like a public duel server of the Academy, but I can't see it happening...

I'm sure there are a few people in the JA that try to get away with it. Honestly I havent seen them though. Couple people I thought yawed me actually were spinning counters.

Now that I think bout it, Duel server prolly wouldn't work. It just puts a middle man where there is no need for one. If you wanna duel JA members, just join the JA ffa servers. If you wanna go pubbin, just join a public server.
I think those JA rescources would be better spent somewhere else. :(

How much patrolling would you need on a duel server? Not like they can run around and 'lame' people...

I Agree with sazabi, but also Furious :P

A bit brief there Saz :P

to expand on why i agree lemme quote a bit of ozzcoz

Quote:
I don't see why we are blatantly an academy that focuses mainly on saber dueling, and yet all we run are social "FFA" servers.


Well With a FFA server, you can challenge who you want, effectivly having many duels all at the same time, with a duel server you can only have one duel going on at a time, other people will have to wait around spectating (While alot can be learnt by watching others duel it can get a little boring)

With FFA servers three pairs of people can be dueling, anyone who wants can spectate while theres also a Gun FFA going on at the same time, alot less limited.

Quote:
I know we have rules and stuff, so the servers we run work just fine (as long as we keep the troublemakers out) but a base dueling server should theoretically be quite popular.


Well i have nothing against having a duel server, but not at the loss of one of our current servers.

Quote:
And perhaps (I honestly don't know how well this would work out) it could be public, as it would be a lot easier to administrate a server where only 2 (3 if it was set for power duel) people are in game at a time.


Good point, Every time we have recommended a public server difficulty of admining it was the main issue, and it would be easier than a FFA server. But making JAK watch duel upon duel just incase seems a little harsh. At least on a FFA server while on hand to deal with any issues that may come up they can have fun themselves.

Quote:
I'm not saying by the way that we should stop running our current (and quite popular servers) as we do, just that it would be interesting, and perhaps beneficial to run a duel server. Projects, ctf and aurochs are the least used servers that I can think of, and it wouldn't have to be a case of getting rid of one server to make another, just to leave it as a duel server when it's not required for it's current purpose.


Well, Projects i'm really not in a position to comment on.
Aurochs, same deal, but i doubt Tido Janus and that other guy (ok that sounds bad... its 3th right? :P) would probably not like to give up the server, especialy seen as the aurochs seem to be almost ready to go now.
As for CTF server... we still have that? heh, i missed it. Personaly i like the idea of a CTF and would like to use it more, but as it isnt used right now, i guess this would be the most likely one to be converted and I guess i'd be happy with that. Our main CTFers (Aratan springs to mind), i recall usualy complaining that the CTF server lags too much anyway (but then, aratan always lags :P)

EDIT: I voted true on the poll, but as you put the word "Might" in there that was the only option really. It you put "Would most likly" then i would probably have gone for false

Sazabi, there is a point, and ozzcoz has clearly pointed out several of them. Negative comments like that are just not needed.

Why would we need a Duel server when we can connect to the current FFA servers, challenge someone to a duel...and duel? :D

As for Sabers being the most popular, I think one reason is because Sabers feel more special to people. Jedi, in the movies, grab people's attention more than the other stuff.

Anyway, people are usually happy to play with Guns, if you ask them. Just the other day, I asked if a few guys on the Home Server wanted a to play with guns, and we had a nice little game of them in the Fort. :)

The JAK+ already have their hands full with the normal community servers, Personally, I don't want to have to deal with a public server as well :)

I think a Public duel server will have Pro's and Con's just like everything else. Students would get to face public dueler under the JA name. And people not in the JA could get to see the cool people here in the JA and wanna join. But you'd also have to deal with lamers, twitchers, delay freaks, wigglers, yawers and what ever else newb moves they invent. Some would say well then just go to the ffa server if they are in the ja duel server. but the whole point is that JA members have access to their own server. It could go either way I guess.:)
