Suggestion/Poll Thread

[CaffeinePowered]

Posting this up for the purposes of looking into scheduling other things, please go into a bit more detail about what you vote on and why. If you think we add another PC game, what night should we devote to it, what game should it be, ect.

I'm refraining from naming a specific game because I think we can discuss what people might be interested in and if people really like something and start organizing things people who don't have the game might buy it. In my experience so far in setting up PS Saturdays its been tough to get people to come out, but over time people have become more interested and tried it, some even ended up buying it.

Here's my general thoughts:


HL1/2 Mods - Done a longer timescale, such as 1 a month to put less pressure on an admin to keep changing it:

Pros:
- Easy to set up, I have access to the UMLan mod server
- Easily accessible to most everyone currently in BrB

Cons:
- Can have problems setting up and running them
- Recruitment potential depends on the mod


Machinema (TF2 or other games)

Pros:
- Large recruitment potential if you make something funny
- Could be enjoyable to participate in
- We all tend to enjoy the final product

Cons:
- Have to lock down a server or make a new one
- Sometimes getting people to do stuff properly is like herding cats
- Puts a lot of work on one or two people to do editing and posting of end result

Another PC Game

Pros:
- Fresh & new for participants
- New members with no TF2 background

Cons:
- Costs money to set up a server, won't get any people coming in without one
- Selection
- Some may not own the game


Another Console Game

Pros:
- Very easy to set up
- Helps more with internal stuff and keeping people interested and engaged

Cons:
- Not getting anyone new this way
- Don't own said console, can't participate
- May not own the game


Personally I'd like to see more mods, as I can set them up very easily, maybe have a mod of the month sort of thing instead of trying to get something running every week, which was really stressful. In fact, I'm going to go set something up right now, because I can

Please also keep in mind the mod box can also run other non-hl2 mod dedicated servers as well

Personally I wouldn't mind dropping TFT or FNF and taking up Mod nights.  Good mods can be a fuckton of fun.

mongoose was telling us about a star trek mod or something last night
sounded good

He's actually working on a stargate mod


Eschatos: We won't be dropping any nights anytime soon, FNF might evolve into being more games than just TF2, but I am not in favor of removing any nights anytime soon

I would love some A:HL and other hl1 mods.

less crybabies

edit: To clarify, in the last week, I've ended up ragequitting TF2 in the middle of the night because no matter what, there's always someone QQing about something. Maybe it's just me being too sensitive to the standard complaints, maybe it's my fault there's people QQing, but that's just my opinion. I thought I would clarify since "less crybabies" is not very productive.

I want to do some half-life mods along with Machinima.

Also a co-op mod sometime. I love those.

I wouldn't mind playing mods more. Maybe have a mod night once every other week, or play the same mod for a month like you said. I don't think we should play a new mod every week though.


I think it would be cool to have a different FPS to play too though. BF, COD, UT, ET:QW or something like that. We wouldn't even necessarily need a server, especially right away. We could just pick a time, get in chat, and invade an empty server.

I don't own very many games besides TF2. Or any system besides a Wii, which is like saying I own a block of wood that can play Zelda and SSBB.

So I dunno, something with HL or TF2. HL2 DM always makes me smile.

Might be able to run an HL2 mod and an HL1 mod simultaneously as HL1 mods aren't that CPU heavy

I've played Empires.  It's okay, but it just doesn't feel all that good.  Kinda clunky and it often degenerates into the team who can sneak the most saboteurs into the enemy base wins.
