New Server?

I think there should be a new server to fish tank clan. I think it should be a gun game server or gun game server with glass maps, its wicked fun and nice way to practice

i like the gun game idea. it sounds like a fun way to train skills with weapons.
as for the glass map server, we've already discussed it, and the one problem we had was the cost for the server and who was gonna pay for it

Yes, gun game mod is the shizznit (the second one you mentioned froob). And like Emerican said, it forces you to use all the weapons. In order to win at gun game, you have to learn the strengths and weaknesses of every weapon. I noticed my skills improve after just a week of hanging around gun game servers.

Why do we need a new server for this gun game mod? We have four servers as is, FTC, FTC2, FTS and the newest yet to have an established name FT server. The newest one will be used for regular maps and scrims for the clan. Perhaps we could put gun game on either FTC2 or this newer server?

If anyone has the time, money, or equipment/connection to dedicate to provide another server I would be more than happy to assist. Anyone who has suggestions for getting rid of FTC2 and replacing it with something else gets a cockpunch from every FTC2 regular.

I should be getting some funds from my summer job soon, and I always wanted to start my own server. The only problem is, I don't know anything about setting up/running a server!

Good suggestion, Froob. I like the idea of the FT community growing. Let me know when you get the server up and running.

I think that a reg map rotation server is a much more worthy endeavour than any mods of any nature... For the most part mods turn out to be simple and exploitable, for the n00bs that can't play the actual game right :d
Still have nightmares of the WC3 mods *shudder*

umm wel lthat server redirects you to wc3 if the first 2 gungames are full
and gungames are allways pretty much full.

well... I wasn't suggesting at all that I wanted to throw money at the situation. What I was saying is I would be willing to learn what it takes to start/run a good server, then consider whether or not it was something worth investing in.

Froob, when are you getting this server? I am down.

Or get a 100 tick server for the regular maps, and I agree, that if anything we need to have a regular map placement server, cause if we're gonna play CAL, we need to get used to the reg maps, 100 tick server's (although quite expensive, just a suggestion) are way better. But I think we should all remember how much money/maintainance/time it takes to keep a great server like FTC2 running. Thanks alexh.

With the amount of members being brought in the clan lately, it wouldn't be out of line to request donations, or put a link to a PayPal account on the site. This is strange coming from me, considering how young I am, it would be very hard for me to make any sort of donation. But, if I had the money, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to giving a little bit.
Overall, I don't think there is much need for another server. Sure, having new mods would be fun; but as of right now, we have a "Regular Map Rotation" server waiting in the wings. We should wait and see if that server is popular enough to maintain a keep up, or maybe we could turn that into one of the new mods.
It's fine to suggest, but there really shouldn't be any sort of demand for a new server, as Alex has done a fine job in maintaining these servers with little to no funding coming from us.

Thanks and well said, Burt. If the practice server is utilized more and appears suitable then we'll just dedicate that entirely to practice/scrims. I've thought about asking for donations but I'm not sure if I want to do that yet.
Please keep in mind that Narf pays to keep FTS up and running, and kremit pays for this website.
