If you need to police a group of people planning to play together, it's not going to be a fun time regardless.

This thread reeks of people trying to make others stop playing what they want to so they're arbitrarily forced/incentivized to play the poster's favored mode. That never works, not to mention how selfish it is. You can't make people do what they don't want to, and we've all found first-hand that assembling a group to "schedule fun" does not work in practice. If you truly can't sell people on a mode enough for it to be played, either in-or-outside of the current playerbase, it's probably a dead mode, sorry.

If people thought like that, they wouldn't be keeping on about how so-and-so gamemodes are "cancer and need to die."

I already get that you can't force someone off of something they like, and I'm not going for that. The problem I have is that I hear enough from people about stuff like this, yet if it were such a problem, something would've or should've been done by now.

The people that like those modes outnumber those that don't.  I'm one of those that isn't too fond of all the different servers with 5+ unique mods in each but I'm also not motivated enough to figure out how to host a server and gather the few people who want to play base game stuff.

hmmm... Ok
I think i'll go with the "hosts should take their severs down for X time" I wouldn't force it but it would be nice to get a break from YD/Saxton Unholy/Wily inc etc

What do you guys think of "Shaking Down" servers?

If people want a break, they'll take a break. If you have to suggest people take a break of mode X, you're obviously just trying to pull them to your favored modes.

No no, you misunderstood. I suggest the HOSTS by their OWN choice to take down/put up game mods not taking this choice to the people. because really... YD looks strong right now.

Saying that because the same people suggesting break time are the ones filling YD almost every night. If we are gonna call Saxton and Unholy are cancer recently that too fits the bill

PLEASE PLAY JUSTIFIED INSTEAD OF OTHER MODS.

No thanks.

In regard to the topic, I'd love to try out this idea, but I'd have to advise caution with making a skype group. No matter how well structured it is, things can get pretty ugly with the discussion in the blink of an eye. It'd have to be well monitored and have a set of rules in place. It can't just be a group solely for the purpose of casual discussion.

I know this guy likes justified and I hate him and the mod he likes so lemme call him out for no reason I am such a cool kid
Not so smart to do that shit is it now?


Who ever mentioned JC anywhere? No one, So what the fuck man?

I'm simply laying suspicion of hypocrisy in this topic and seconding more or less with OJ. Whatever this will be I want to leave this choice to the host.

Dan habiki play more some others modes, and i have seen him in YD it seems....
So it's dumb to use provocation for that seriously...not the first time You do that Jman. We know, you hate Jclasses and want it DOWN because you hate woohoo (because vanilla duel). So yeah.

Anyways, people of skype tchat can prepare some schedul with their friends, but there wont be more than that. (:

I'm going to retaliate to someone else's opinion.
Hey look, I'm you! I can do it too!

I'm going to say it right now - Ever heard of the old phrase, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink"?

Even if you let it go to the hosts hands, that's not to say you can force players to participate in the servers. If you really wanna play other game mods that badly, there's always the option of using Best-Ever or port forwarding to host your own game for friends and such.

I agree with this. In my opinion, if you try to force the game modes you want played upon other people that's just going to lead to an empty server list, or just a lot of servers with passwords on them so that nobody can play in general.

Then if that's the case, if you aren't trying to shamelessly plug more people into Justified servers, why don't we get rid of those too? Obviously a lot of people play them still or the mod wouldn't be updated like it is.

You're provoking people just as much by saying that, you know.

And why, it's always me who must shut up about problems? Why it's me who is always the first to be the reason why there is disharmony?
Some people do it better with some others way, im just a direct man who want try to understand the thing without to be HIDE. ;)
Im fair'

Sometimes, some things must be said....If not, it could get a "cancer". ;)

EDIT: Well, better I keep calm anyways, i suppose? It doesnt need to put more oil on the fire...... Sorry guys, enjoy ALL the servers.

You aren't. This thread is just Oil Man's stage waiting for someone to set it ablaze with Fire Storm.

...I'm not sure if you mean "Some people are better with words than others", but yes, that seems true with your case.
If you want to understand, then you should be less oppressive by trying to shove down Jman's opinion like Dobson did.

That's right. Which is why I'm going to say this:

A mod should probably lock this topic before things get more out of hand than they are.

I'll stop as well. I don't need to keep fanning the flames either.

You keep using these words, but they do not mean what you think they mean.

Totally ignoring the point that B.O.D is trying to bring up and being a total hivemind
And you are trying to prove.....

AGAIN when did I say anything about JC? Are you telling me that Saxton, Unholy and YD are the only ones to ever play? Or are you both bawwing hard because I pointed out that YD is blocking the sun along with Saxton and Unholy? Yea I like JC so what? I'm I telling people to go there? No. is JC the point of what I'm saying? No. You don't look smart at all by assuming something from far left field.

What I'm saying is suggest "break" time or "change of mod" time to any guy that's hosting some big sever. ASK them not FORCE them if thats what they want to do. If they want to thats cool, if they don't thats fine.

Please put your petty JC hate aside and pay attention please

You've overstepped your bound and made an obvious backhanded comment towards a directly competing mode and now you're receiving negativity for it. Stop backpedaling and admit your idea was not only flawed but spun for your own gain.

Is the topic locked yet? Things are going to hell fast.

Noone here has to do anything without them wanting to. The purpose of this topic is to see if the server hosts will comply with a modest proposition to change things up. You know, since the server hosts are Cutstuff community members that actively browse and participate on the forums.

@MrShadow

Also, I know I was a little brash with that comment about JC, but let's be real. You were heavily implying something towards mods that compete with JC, and you even called them cancer. Not to mention you only replied to it with personal backlash irrelevant to the current discussion.
