The Fun server is a great server. Quite laid back ^^
There are 2 things that I think would make it better, however. They would be: 1) Allow voting (old maps can't be explored  )
2) Use JAE mod instead of base (Fun server with emotes and multiple duels, etc) What does everyone think? |

Quote: Who says a map with no npcs can't be fun? Would it be even possible to cause more trouble if only mapvote(no votes for kicking, gametype, etc..)was allowed?
once voting is allowed, you can't enable votes for only specific commands. it's all or none unless a mod is used. |

This means not including any maps with NPCs. I'm perfectly happy to justify my reasoning behind things up to a point, but please don;t accuse me of being lazy.  I do have reasons behind my actions. Who says a map with no npcs can't be fun? Would it be even possible to cause more trouble if only mapvote(no votes for kicking, gametype, etc..)was allowed? It would definately be better than the current situation. Unless there's a good reason of course, which I have not yet heard  _______________ Happiness is the ability to say "So what?"

Quote: "Voting will not be enabled, the potential for abuse is too high."
Sounds as though you treat this community like children who can't play nice when left alone by those deemed responsible among them - anyway, where's the fun in a fun server if you can't even vote to change the map? Seems like another home server otherwise. And isn't the point of the ranked folk (especially when they're so active on irc etc) to be able to intervene when(if?) things get unreasonable or out of hand? We even have guides of how to report such undesireables somewhere. Current answer to suggestions here seems a lazy one to be honest Quick edit: I know people don't want to spend their time dispute resolving, but I was under the impression people can get along etc, and if they can't, they stand out fast, especially when so few are active ingame these days. My main point is, such limitations on a 'fun server' seems very counterproductive Voting will not be enabled, these are the reasons why: #1 Voting has been enabled in the past - it has been abused before, on more than one occasion. #2 NPC abuse, this has been happening every time we leave the map on one where there are bots. The vast majority of the JA community can be trusted not to break things, however, there are people who cannot be trusted with this. So, what we have is either: a) enable voting. - Pro: Students can handle map changes. - Con: Someone will abuse NPCs and kicking. NPC abuse *will* chew up bandwidth and result in either the server crashing or wasting money. b) do not enable voting - Pro: No potential for abuse. - Con: Students cannot change map as they please. In my view, the less of two evils is to not enable voting. However, a JAK+ is reachable pretty much at any point in the day and they can change the map for you.

I have to disagree with the crashing sentiment. First off, a base JKA server is very easy to crash even with flood protect on and voting disabled, if someone wanted it down, it would be down.
I was around when the servers had voting enabled, before there were any mods or irc rcon, it was used as a student policing each other method, allowing them to call votes to kick trouble makers. Voting was eventually abused and people were kicked for no reason as well as the map constantly changed. Having the map change every minute can get quite annoying, and it is very easy to trick the JKA voting system. There is no way (that I am aware of) to only allow certain votes without a mod. The issue of using the mod is that it alters the gameplay. The damages as well as the blocking system have been affected. There has been a fair amount of time spent trying to get it to mimic base but effort seemed futile. I'm not sure if they plan on continuing to toy with the idea. _______________

Quote: basically you are not trusting your own students, because there MIGHT be a possibility that someone will crash server.
Trust our students, we do... Especially those who are voicing their opinions out and how they are voicing their opinions out... But trust is still about earning it ? yeah It is nice to see people on the server, playing having fun and teaching people... But those actual deeds are actual deeds... If we were trusting to everybody totally, even those who are applied just... We would have this hierachy system for nothing ? and notice that JA Praxis Trust and Personal Trust are two different things

is it possible to set some kind of thing that checks if server is up and running like every hour and if it isnt then server restarts?
anyway this seems like those game protection things developers put in their games. they dont prevent people who know their trade to go around those protections, but people who buy games still have to deal with any problem that might occur because of those protections. in the end those who bought the game - suffer. basically you are not trusting your own students, because there MIGHT be a possibility that someone will crash server. ofcourse server will crash - what do you expect? jk3 servers are stable as shit. no wait - shit is more stable. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Why else he could duel so fine ? So ofcourse he's reasonable... I wasn't saying, he wasn't... Maybe I did take this wrong way, maybe I didn't... but yeah for now on I don't want there's going to be any misinterpreting of any form... So to be more clear! Kainz00r is awesome!

Kainzoor's point does seem reasonable. But then again if voting crashes servers, I guess would be a right pain if people kept crashing them. What I would like to say is, people who are part of the community have decided to join up and by doing that they have impliedly agreed to behave on the servers. Now I know we all know thats not always the case but, if there was a method avaible to vote and change maps it might prove to be worth while _______________ <MaherSenatu> guh... you are just...

Look guys... You made a quite good and solid point at there... and I'm personally admiring such a dedication towards JA.net... Zantus & Kaldor, pyh to JAK+'s comments
But there are so many other things apart from those points what you brang up ? Such as security like It allready has been mentioned... Also what It would be if students was have rights to all suddenly vote on such a things... Or vote about anything... Personally I think It would eventually lead to chaos and anarchy... and that's why there are praxis and order keeping that chaos at locked place... huh neat! Such a things like my chaotic another person is at that same place
Sooooo ? There are still many questions what can't be brung up at this certain topic and all what I can do is just... You need to trust at JAK+... because they are group of fine women and men... you are in good hands, trust me... Setementor and Solitude are always at IRC and if you are really painfully needing somebody... Go to #mbuniverse channel... Virtue should lurk at there, for example... and then there's me... I can always do atleast something... But yeah I think, I bite too hard so people are too afraid of coming to me... Anywhoo don't worry too much about things, people... because there are people who are allready worrying for you... Just enjoy from JA.net!

This is true, but what is the point of having all these maps when half the time we are stuck on the same one for days at a time? Contact an admin via IRC, MSN or whatever else you might have. We do not have any problem in changing maps for you. Just don't pick on us every 5 minutes for a map change
If you want Academy V2 (or whatever map) on fun, just say so. I think the reason why Academy V1 has been on for such a long time is because of the fond memory that some people describe as epic. As on the topic: I for myself would find a JAE Server interesting, especially if you want to do some silly fun stuff or trying some RPGing or something like that. But I agree with Sete that most people wanted to have unaltered gameplay on the older maps. So there you go - fun server with basejk3. As for voting: No. I have just seen far too strange things happen on vote enabled servers. Practically all you can do in voting you can ask an admin as well - so go this way. - Laz _______________ Proud owner of Buster Senatu's 200th & 300th, Muro's 370th, Maher's 2100th, Henkes' 1639th, Johauna's 400th, 666th and 900th, Sho Koon's 2000th and Kain Sol's 600th comment Download Laziana's lightsaber here!

At least we definitely need some change with the map on Fun. Boring to have the same academy maps ALWAYS, even on FUN! I voted for voting and JAE _______________ Happiness is the ability to say "So what?" |

This was discussed when the Fun server first went up. The fun server often runs older maps and so the argument is, should people be able to duel with base gameplay on older maps or play with JAE commands even if gameplay is affected? There are people that want both, so one solution could be to make a JAE server.
