ATAA0, one of the maps, must be cleared out from server maplist.
Long playing time on small area, a boring, stand-and-shoot unenjoyment, disgusting environment (details? where?) with an unnecessarily strong last skaarj boss, with instadeath blows. Also mind the huge pupaes, whats are bugging into stairs and coloumns.
In the first 15 mins you just stand in the start area and shoot-shoot-shoot...
What skill or knowledge need you here? |

I'm not sure if banning General is really the right choice, seeing as he doesn't really break any rules. Is he rude? Yes. Is his playstyle very selfish? Yes. But he's still not really breaking any rules. Except for that time when he got around the ban, which can never be excused. More should have been done about that. Anyone who gets around a ban should be repeatedly kicked, for longer each time, until they get the message. They would give up eventually. Still, I would like to see General gone, but I don't think there are valid grounds to do so, unless frustrating a good number of regular players - and driving away others - is a good enough reason. There are other players consistently breaking rules who are never kicked.
Thank you to the people who recommended me for staff. I'm not sure how that would be received, as I know there are a number of people here who dislike me. Still, if I'm asked to help, I would be happy to. I was a little too immature when I was made staff many, many years ago, which is why I stepped down.
As for ATAA0, I also vote it gets removed. It causes a ridiculous amount of crashes almost every time it's played. You'll see a whole bunch of players disconnect at once, and quite often, a lot of them don't come back.
Another map I think should be considered is WASTED. That map always drives away many, many players, and takes far too long to play with the players who actually stay for it. I joined late in the map yesterday, and it took so long that they reached the time limit. This was on a Saturday. Usually the server would be busy at this time, but there was barely anyone on because of that map. It should be kept to the Crazy server.
Still, map removal should be talked about in a different topic. |

| You're right, really. One of my main concerns that I've expressed several times is about players leaving the server. The game is 17 years old, this year. This mod is a little over a decade in age. The server needs as many regular players as it can get, otherwise it will inevitably end up closing. With other big FPS' coming out, including a new free-to-play UT, and a new one by Cliff Bleszinski, more and more players will start to vanish. on. |

So if we can get rid of something that's causing the players to leave, that would be an incredibly positive thing for the server.
Maybe getting rid of one person will bring in others. I know for a fact that there are people who stay away when he's on |

Hey guys and girls,
Theres always been a big hate on Karkass since I started playing. I never knew where is started from but people who don’t really know the guy seemed to tag on with the hate. This does not include more senior members which includes Crow, Kyrix… well basically everyone who posted on here.
I am one of the very very few people who considers him a friend, he helps me out, chats to me and even plays maps at my pace. I don’t disagree that there is a lack of teamwork on his part towards everyone. I understand this is a rule too and therefore should be adhered. However, a lot of this would apply to other members as pointed out by a number of you, such as Mister (He is also a nice guy), Unai (funny guy) and others. Overall the amount of rules which are broken regularly are exponentially increasing as the day’s pass, I feel these should all be addressed in one go.
A number of months ago, following an incident I pointed out there is a need for more staff. This is by no means a reflection of the competence of the current staff as they work hard, but many are now off, starting families or are busy with personal life. The number of staff members that would be online has fallen greatly. Currently Villa is the only one I see often, but he usually is torn between multiple servers as he is a fan of the crazy server too.
In regards to who the new mods would be. I would definitely recommend Kyrxix if he accepts. Just like me he is always non-biased and objective. Thinks things through. He is regularly online and we must all agree that he is very respectable man with a control over what he says and how he behaves.
Secondly I would not mind volunteering myself. As mentioned before I play at times in which no mods or senior members are online, I play the same maps as general and lastly and most importantly I am well acquainted with everyone on the server, so my allegiance (or malice) isn’t towards any particular player(s). I would recommend other members but Kyrxix and Villa are online in between them periods, no point having 2 mods online at the same time and then non later that day. Therefore its only logical to not recommend people that are online at the same time as a current mod or similar time zones/ work shifts. Maybe I'm over thinking it.
In regards to removing maps, please don’t remove hotfoot, highspeed train, boomboombridge or highschool. You will just be punishing those who enjoy them (me) and the guy who made it, general will just end up doing the same with other maps.
(-.-) @bemmo
A lot of fond memories on them maps =)
BTW I don’t really see bans working as I’m sure he (or whoever is banned) can circumvent them. Therefore, a more active mod needs to be present.
@Suz hope your doing well. =)
Thanks,
Kingibi |

We should open separate threads related to those topics, I say that we should first start a discussion about what people we'd like seeing as admins and then make a poll
with the names of the ones that are getting mentioned often, so that forum members could vote for who they want.
A similar idea is to be done about maps for removal: A discussion should be started in which members name the maps they dislike, and the maps that get the most
hate would then be requested to be removed.
I could start any of those threads myself, but I won't rush into starting another thread right now so if someone wants to open one or both, I encourage you to do that!
