Populating The Server

[[GCA]Jimbosmith]

Over the past week you may have noticed the server being populated nightly,
so if your on teamspeak or fancy a game around 19:00Gmt and you see people
on the server please feel free to join us.

The more [GCA] we have on the server the more fun it will become and will also benifit us in training, I personally have had some great rounds in the past week, using Intersquad communication and close armor support between Bloodace and technique

Remember the Key to populating is having as many people on the server to kick start it, so if there 8 people on the server and theres 11 people not, if these people join the server is going to fill very fast, you dont need to play just join, and idle if you need to, but we need more people to join in the start.

If you have any suggestions on start times and maps to start with speak up

Not Asad

[[GCA]Lt_Mic]

For example start with:Fallujah west or small skirmish maps
start time:17-19GMT
with more GCA on mumble!(check 0.4 pr mumble) to make TW as good as on TnT,IGI,UKWF(?)
-Wicca about mumble:
"PR isnt the same without mumble, without sharing foxholes with blue guys... its just sad"
we are ready to make Holyland 4th best pub server in PR- add new server (pub)admins and ask for adding mumble admins on official mumble server :)

If we want to populate we have to start earlier than 21.00GMT (as yesterday).
By that time I can play for maybe 30 minutes an hour tops. Which makes it pointless if you want to finish at least a full map with equally matched teams.

17-19GMT as Lt_Mic wrote is more appropriate.

[[GCA]Sgt Bilko]

Btw, there's a Master Class event this evening at 20.30 GMT.

Will that be on GCA server? In that case the server will be locked down.

the only reason we started that late was richy wasnt on to take the pass of the server

We have been starting normally around 17:30 - 19:00Gmt

[[GCA]Sgt.Sheep]

Bumping this.

We will try to populate it every weekend from now on.

Squadleaders are encouraged to lead pubbie squads.

[[GCA]Jimbosmith]

We usually start around 1730 - 1900 gmt if we have a large ammount of people on teamspeak the server will fill up faster.

[[GCA]DemonAgony]

I'm trying to get to server and give it the "kickstart" but usually i'm going to go to sleep early cos of my early wake in the morning..

Late shifts ftw

[EsCaPe]

I hope tonight is considered as week(end) :)

[[GCA]DemonAgony]

not for me i'm having huge fever right now and i think i'll sleep next 15 hours...

[[GCA]Sgt.Sheep]

I'm up for it, if the server doesn't crash.

[[GCA]Zar2Roc]

That can't be guaranteed as long as we don't stress and test it enough.

[[GCA]Jimbosmith]

k you not been here since .9 been out?

[[GCA]Tim270]

I think we should give it another try tonight, we managed to get in a few rounds before it crashed last time it was full.

[EsCaPe]

It's quite nice when we populate server...in few rounds it becomes FULL...but then...CRASH !!! and noone knows why...

C ya tonight guys...

P.S. I posted application to join GCA but still no answer...looking forward to sign as [GCA] soon

[[GCA]Kravixon]

Very good.

Also, we need more Yamalia. Awesome map for infantry and APCs. Had many great rounds on it. I think it will become popular for the more pro players.

[[GCA]Zar2Roc]

What about vehicle warfare as seeding map mode?

[[GCA]Kravixon]

I think Yamalia regular may be ok to start with.

Vehicle mode could work... at least it's fun.

[[GCA]Sgt Bilko]

Not sure what you mean by crashed server.
Been up since I restarted it yesterday 22.50 Camel Time.

[[GCA]Kravixon]

Yes. No one has played on it since a couple days ago I think.

[[GCA]Antoine_Cournot]

public server is full RIGHT NOW

we should enforce the new mumble on our server:
pls add the rule:
mumble is mandatory

and add the "input instruction":
!rules
so everyone can see our rules, so it is not needed to scroll them down from time to time

[[GCA]Antoine_Cournot]

and whats about roadkills?
is it allowed on our server?

[[GCA]Tim270]

Nice work! Admin as you see fit buddy ;)

I would only kick/warn if they are road-killing excessively.

[[GCA]BloodAce]

Wow seriously great job, my congratulations! I've just played couple minutes driving supply truck and was trying to drop Arty as commander but you Noobs lost the game right before Attack has loaded up!!!
I wish to see server full like this every day :D

[[GCA]Apo]

What about suicide kills with c4/IEDs and how close are enemys allowed to mine the roads near the base?

[[GCA]Jimbosmith]

Suicides are ok i would say,but thats only because i do it.

I also dont see a problem with mines near base but thats just me

[[GCA]BloodAce]

Hey are we seeding today? Let me know on xfire and i will help, we could also ask friendly clans to join too! :)

[[GCA]Antoine_Cournot]

trying to fill the server...need more player

[[GCA]Tim270]

Guys remember one thing, when you go to populate the server always do a !kill or !stop (I think you have to type a reason after) and that will stop and then restart the server. It just avoids the problem we have found a few times that when the server has been going to for a while without a restart people are unable to prone or jump.

So just before public players join, restart it then populate.
