Title: What change do YOU want for CG?
Post by: Pillz on November 17, 2013, 01:20:39 PM
What's been on your mind that you feel needs the most immediate attention? Of course we have issues with server population and we're still working on CL things, but other than that what do you want to see different in CG?

This will be a serious thread that we will reference in meetings and if you feel weird about posting your idea publicly you can message me instead. Try not to argue about what others have said, and while you can +1 others opinions and agree for the sake of your own input but just make sure you aren't putting any ideas down.

We will try to discuss everything people suggest and more in our CL meetings, and then have community meetings shortly after where we let everyone know what we talked about and what's planned.

This.

And we want more communication from the CLs about what is happening, I mean we had no idea money was an issue until like 2 months before we were going to run out and then nothing was done with the above thread, and noone knew why or what was going on.

Either A. Make announcements after each CL meeting about what's going on,
or B. Get a Comms Officer who can be in charge of informing everyone ELSE who isn't a CL of what is going on.  Especially our regular members who aren't admins

Obviously this can't happen yet (due to lack of monies) but what about upgrading some of the server boxes..? Might help with crashes on TTT and some of the hitbox issues for the servers in general..

+1 to Chris and Leet.

Its not due to hardware, since the TTT serverbox is completely seperate from the main server box. Those issues are due to latency to the datacenter. Hitbox's are your game attempting to compensate for the connection you have.

More communication from CL's should be priority #1

Another thing I would like to see is inactive CL's, or CL's that use personal attacks against others be reprimanded and held accountable. Both were huge problems and they need to be squashed as soon as possible.

To be honest, I hate it when admin applications sit around collecting dust for a week before they get answered. We could be more efficient on our formal matters.

Tbh i think its to late for that donation stuff in that thread, really the only server that is working for us right now is hidden. I say get rid of all the other servers like that no more room in hell game and NS since we dont really play them?

Name change.

One CL own the server. One CL own the paypal (with 2 having access.)  One CL own the forum.  That way it is not one's community, but all. Or, we can have a future WG moment, again.

Oh, and applying the forum rules across the board, well, not so much.  Not really applicable, and leads to confusion.  Besides, how do you necro posts in TTT?

And that is probably all I am going to suggest, I leave you to your stuff. It is not mine to do any more.

The NS2 server was taken down due to the fact that it was putting such a strain on the server box. It was one of the most popular servers when it was up.

Quite a bunch of good ideas so far. I'ma throw Leet's suggestion in here too.

Okay, set a date, PM all CL's and find a suitable day WITHIN THE WEEK, remind them when the time is when it comes close to the day, any CL that isn't on at the time will have no input or be able to say anything until announcement has been posted.
This, this, 10000x this.

A schedule set a week or a few days before should be followed unless one of the CLs/HAs has a legitimate reason not to be there.

Just not showing up isn't acceptable, and if they either are late or they don't come at all, they should be filled in as to what already happened but have no input on the decisions.

If a CL can't make it to the meeting they should know that beforehand. We're going to try to organize it on days we know we're available and I imagine we'll set up the date for the next meeting at the current meeting we're having. If a CL is a no-show we'll have to move on without them if possible, and have a video/text review and a small CL meeting if necessary.

Ideally we will be having meetings once every two weeks, both CL and public. I'd like to structure the meetings so they're recordable for those who miss them. We should all take notes on what others say at the meetings, and ideally you'd already have a notepad.txt with a few ideas of your own. It would also help to have some ideas on what we're going to discuss so we don't all show up to the meeting with nothing to talk about.

Then whatever important conclusions we draw and cool ideas we're speculating can be regurgitated to the public in the public meeting shortly after.

I think a day like Wednesday works good for a gaming community, Wednesdays or Thursdays; it can jump from any day between Monday and Thursday. One of us or a "comms officer" could be in charge of what to do with the video of public meetings, putting it on youtube and in a thread on the forums and such.

I saw an idea someone put out about giving donators perks or in game stuff. It wouldn't be a bad idea to give people incentive when donating
Title: Re: What change do YOU want for CG?
Post by: AlphaWeeaboo on November 18, 2013, 11:28:22 PM
^ That's something we should have implemented long ago.
It's been a floating idea ever since I was originally CL... It's definitely one of the topics I'm interested in getting discussed.

Conjoint Gaming is dead, all hail Conjoined Gaming!

No but srs, maybe rework TTT with all new maps, weapons, a retraining of all admins so they're all on the same page, something along those lines. Because the last time I was on, it was pretty hectic.

Well, every time I come on the site there is always some huge drama happening. Pretty much the reason why I've almost completely stopped playing on CG servers.

What do I want from CG? I want CG and all of its members to realise that it's a gaming community and not a government whose country is on the brink of war and/or The Real Housewives of Yo Mommas Basement.

Seriously. It's a site that runs gaming servers and a basic forum. It's not the end of the world, chill out.

Can we get the right hand man of the head admin position approved. I would like to also call it something else because that name is to long. I want to see red in that position but I know he will never ask for it. That and I can see some real benefits from it when used correctly.

Would the bolded (aka approved) donator incentives under the Forum not be easy to implement?  I mean honestly I would donate for some of this shit :P

I was also thinking of having an (almost) no rules allowed secret forum board for donators.

Yeah except I despise that board and want it deleted so perhaps we'll exchange one for the other but I doubt we'd have enough donators to warrant a section like that but if we did I imagine it'd be fun.

Technically if you look back over the last year we've had a buttload of people donate in CG, and some of them aren't even permabanned ;D

Regardless, want forum things mentioned in that donations thread.  WANT THEM

Seriously, stop throwing ideas around for donator perks and just implement SOMETHING. Change it later if it doesn't work.

Let's try out some of the ideas we already have before we start with adding more. If an idea doesn't work or if it causes problems then fix it or get rid of it. This page is like... Gotta think of a good analogy... Ok.

This page is basically like several books (or anime/manga episodes/volumes, whatever floats your boat.), we keep gettong through about half of the book/show and then we stop and start watching or reading another book/show.

We need to start finishing the "books/shows" instead of leaving them unfinished and only half done. I dunno if any of what I wrote will make sense to you all but it made sense to me when I was writing it =P.
