kazka you are taking advice of how to run a CSS server from a room of people that don’t play CSS… does that even make sense?We have the server on campus, only our CS and CSS servers even attract people… so how are they failing and how is CS “dead” or “dying out”. I really just don’t understand at all. We have had a TF2 server which people seem to like yet NOBODY EVER plays on it.
I don’t want to argue all night about this, but just answer this question for me. If we were to turn off the CS and CSS servers, since “most of the people at our meeting were literally SCREAMING to get rid of all the CS stuff altogether because they believe it has played its course and is pretty much dead”, what would we use our server for? What can we offer that would be more beneficial for the students at WCU?
Yes it does make sense to take advice from them because it shouldnt be that way. When just about everyone in attendance at the meeting believes that it is dying out and should go away, that is a problem. The main reason it is a problem is because it does not show very well how the servers are doing on campus. And this should not be a problem because it is the WCU GAMING CLUB. You can get mad at me until you turn red in the face but its pretty insulting when you have to talk about the CS servers when no one in attendance cares but the PC VP. I think this just says that we need a little more variety on the severs in general.
And Nickname I know we have people that play on the servers, i dont want to take them down. Thats not my intention and never was. I know we have people that play on the servers all the time and I would not let them be shutdown EVER because of this fact. This whole argument just goes back to me wanting to let the admins change the maps when necessary. The intention of my “arguments” was to try to populate the servers further by giving the players on the server what they want by letting them (the admins) change maps if need be. Perhaps we could get the admin to let people vote in if he/she can change the map, and if the vote is yes then and only then let him do it? I think that this would help and if they dont follow these rules then they could just have that power removed.
And as far as on campus support of the servers and CS, it is dying. These are the WCU servers and we need to populate them with more WCU students that are currently on campus. I just think that its funny that this problem has been ignored until recently and I am expected to just turn my back to these students and focus on pleasing people I never see and have never even attended the school. I mean on come on. its insulting as hell when people get up and walk out as soon as you start talking about Counterstrike and their servers.
Now Im not just saying that we should tell everyone who doesnt go to this school or ever has to get off the servers, but come on.
And Mitch about the new server, im thinking that we could possibly hold a poll/nomination sort of thing and see what people would like to have if we could add more games if we get a new server? How does that sound?
