i think 1 reserved slot would be enought.
What is THAT VIP was afk? :-[
he wouldn't get kicked by being afk after 5 minutes?
if things really did need help its better to call an admin in since they can insta-kick...
Admins can kick and ban via sourcebans
just putting that out there.
But that almost defeats the purpose of VIP. Are you supposed to normally call an admin whenever someone needs a kick, or are you supposed to do it yourself? VIPs are partially there in my opinion to make it so an admin doesn't have to be in the server 24/7.
if the server is all full of trolls we couldn't even kick/ban if we wanted to our powers are depended on the people in the server.
I dont mind for either.Don't worry Peter, I'm starting to go on wirebuild more often :D
Its a good idea, but wirebuild is never full :3.
Forever alone.
I honestly don't understand how people don't like this idea.I wasn't sure if I agreed with it at first because I don't think VIPs really deserve any perks on the servers, but it's not just a perk for VIPs, it's supposed to help manage the servers (which really needs to happen sometimes), though the majority of the time I can see it being used just as a perk and VIPs not really using it to get in the server to help.
Just doesn't make any sense to me.
So that is 1 admin slot and 1-2 VIP slot(s) per server...so = 2-3 people not being able to play per server. That's quite alot since most servers are full & you have to wait a long time to get in...If you hadn't noticed, the admin slot doesn't really work I don't think... The TTT server often has 16 people.
But the thing is about calling admins, many of them are either afk or gone. NOT POSSIBLE.
I see approx. 1-4 VIPs on a day, so that would be quite good...Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Make only one reserved slot, for VIPs+. What does that mean? VIPs, Admins, SAdmins and owner can come in at any time and clean up.I was honestly thinking this too, but it's more important for an admin to be able to come into the server to help than for a VIP to.
Other TTT players will most likely say NO because they feel like VIP's are getting special perks or something.
Not only that, but even if the case is VIPs getting "special perks", it's just something else like being able to start a votekick/voteban as VIP and the ability to vote as Regular.
In Layman's terms, some people would vote no cause they jelly, regardless of what you say to them.
Votes can obviously be biased from VIPs, so allow coolz to decide.
Admins can also be biased, because they may see it as a perk, and don't feel it's right for VIPs to have any such perks.
Well obviously coolz gets the final decision. It is good to see public opinion though, and it shows 23-9 in favor of it.
So now that the public has spoken, let's just wait and see coolz' decision like you said.
No Notrly :thumbsdown:
I dun want a slot war
demotion for hogging slots/ starting slot wars.
No Notrly :thumbsdown:
I dun want a slot war
How would this cause a slot war......................?
Admins being unable to join due to VIP's being in the server.

I may be wrong somehow, but when admins join a random person in the server gets kicked if the server is full, so it doesn't matter?
Hence, there can be no slot wars....because admins can get in the server no matter what..
Rly the idea behind it was to use slots in contestsWhat?
What?
So you think that it's a bad idea, because it's not what it was intended for?
That's just horrible logic...
I'm saying the slots are used for contests. PeriodWhat are you even?...
What are you even?...
Coolz made the slots so a admin could always get in the server and also for contest reasons.Seems like yo just don't want VIPs to have privileges to me...
People should have to be active and win it in a contest like masters did once, rather than having the privlage come automatically
Waiting for people to bitch
Waiting for people to bitch
At your service tomcat.Agreed.
Regardless of how it used to be intended, I haven't seen a single person given a reserved slot for winning a contest while I was here. So while Smasters may have won it a long time ago, that was then. But what you lack to realize is that was before VIP was created. Back in the respected times obviously this would have been a bad idea, with the fact respected was handed out like regular today and it just wouldn't be neccessary. There's only a low number of VIPs, about 15, and I think the arguement you've presented is no reason this shouldn't be taken into action.
Agreed.
I'd really like to see coolz's opinion on the idea whether he agrees with it or not.
There's only a low number of VIPs, about 1514, actually.
14, actually.
If Tomcat so strongly disagrees with people purely getting privileges because they're VIP, how about having some kind of vote or something to determine a number of VIPs that will get the slots?
Wait
So
Im doing it kinda right?
Vip+ kicking in yo.
bump
We do have a limitI've seen the server with several admins in at the time, and full, and then another admin joins and someone is kicked.
It's 1 slot
If slot is taken by another admin
Can't join
