Tsunami Gaming

well when i looked today there were 5 people in mutation but i just think its a lack of players in ren as a whole and the little number of players left want to play with someone so they choose the jelly server that has 20 people in it already they dont want to wait to get people ingame. if you get 4 people in mutation people start to filter in slowly but i think mutation also get a little old for people. if you are only playing like 4 or 5 person games they are really dry. that game mode was a lot more intense when we had a 20 person game going on the kill box level

I aggree, I play in the mutation server but only with the 4 -5 players the game gets dull quickly. Occationally I joined with more players ingame and it was more action packed, but people arn't going to join a empty server and wait for more players to join.

Can we do two things (regardless of mode)?

1. Enable a neutral mode where people can play (even if there is only 1 person in the server), attack buildings, etc. but as soon as X amount of people join it restarts (restores life to all buildings, resets credits, resets score)
2. Add some AI features to the game that are creative (like what St0rm does). St0rm has commanders who can call in reinforcements, call airstrikes, etc. Stuff like that would be awesome. And st0rm lags BAD - so if we could that on a stable server we'd do awesome.

If we did those two things I think that regardless of the mode we'd see a lot of quick growth.

I still need votes, though (should work, now that the template is back to the default).

is it worth the time commitment it would take nightma to do that for renegade?

I cant bring buildings back to life. I can make them invincible though?

night lets meet up on msn tonight or tomorrow and talk about things we can do. sound good with you?

Hey Lee, I've got an idea for a server (obviously, may not be possible to do, but it'd DEFINITELY be original). Message me on MSN - I messaged you earliar but you were busy, so you didn't respond. Also, didn't I give you crap loads of ideas when I was an NR Beta Tester? Check some of your planned changelogs for the future versions of NR. I'm certain you said you'd add a few in the future versions.

Hey everyone, by the way.

If you have ideas just post them here. At this point there is no worry of idea theft, because the community is so thin and abused no one is going to bother (and if they do - it'd be weak competition).

What do you guys think about combining choice #1 (aow) and choice #3 (marathon) so that the time is randomly either AOW or Marathon? We've done this before and it was pretty cool. So one time in the rotation Field might be 35 minutes, but the next time thru it might be Marathon. Or perhaps even code NR so that it simply alternates (rather than being random). That way we can get the best of both worlds. Cuz it seems like a majority of people favor an AOW style game, but the time limit is split vote.

It also looks like Mutation would be a good keep. Perhaps we can clean it up a bit and find a way to make it more interesting so we could get more people to join. Personally I enjoy that mode from time to time, too, but I think it could still use more work. But we can talk about that later.

For now we just need to finish this vote and take action NOW.

Btw, Nightma12, who is the manager? This should have been decided over the weekend while I was away!

I'm good with AOW

I personally think that Mutation is the only original thing TSUGaming has on Renegade. The mod is what makes us different and when summer roles around and High school kids can get back into gaming I think it will pick back up. As for AOW, I like AOW and I voted for it but competing with the other servers for a popular AOW we are just to far down the list and to inactive. I don't think we should add another modded server but I also don't feel like AOW is doing much.

If we don't start getting donations, there won't be any ren servers lol. We didn't get anywhere near our target for May and I was thinking about shutting down Tsulutions hosting for awhile (to focus on Software Dev) which means TGN would need to hold its own weight for once in its life (ie. survive exclusively off donations).

But I don't want to get too far off topic with that.

I'd like a final decision about this by TOMORROW (June 2nd), Lee.

Sean, a meeting has been arranged.

As I already told Spurs - I don't want to wait around for a meeting. Pick a manager today, and get a server going today ... (as discussed with you last week!), and then have meetings after that.

I went ingame today and with 5 minutes had 2 others join me and we played fir a good 15 minutes or so before one disconnected. Yes I do believe the renegade community has slowed down but I also believe it is our own community that has moved away from renegade. If we had our own people in game others will join.

Renegade meeting tomorrow, for anyone who is interested. 430pm CST on teamspeak (and probably MSN as a backup). That's 1030pm GMT.

Right now it is looking like we'll have some sort of AOW server and Mutation.

If anyone has any final suggestions to bring up, before the meeting, do so right now or forever hold your peace.
