Regular/VIP

[HideoKojima]

What Marie said.

I have countless times asked people to call me in if anything is going wrong, but only about 3-5 people ever do.

But seriously I am almos ALWAYS around my computer (note the almost) so call me in, also I'm almost always in TTT... So yeah.

You are one of my fav VIPs Juouon <3

You're not bothering them, and if you are, they shouldn't be VIP. The job isn't just for the tag, or so you can votekick anyone who is ruining your fun, it has responsibilities as well.
Let's not jack up the ranking system. Maybe make VIP a bit easier to acquire, but otherwise it's just fine. As stated earlier, bolstering reg power will make VIPs less important, same with admins.

I don't think adding a vote to kick option for regulars would be a bad thing.
The only thing I can see is that there is a small chance of it being abused.
-Kicking another regulars/guest for lolz
-Kicking a guest to bring in a friend
-Kicking someone for messing up once
I could see it happening, but who knows if it really would. Just what if things I thought about. Maybe make a timer. A votekick only allowed every 40 minutes or something.

Why don't we just stay with the current system and we actually try to contact the VIPs when there's trouble brewing about.

Or, we could just take not even 10 minutes to file out a ban report if what whatever someone's doing is that bad.

I personally like the idea that Death had. Give regulars the power to votekick and see how it goes for about a week.

Why do we need to bring a completely new rank when we can just lower the requirements for the VIP?

Also if there is trouble on the servers, don't hesitate to call for a VIP or an Admin, the worst that can happen is them being afk.

And let's not deny a fact that VIP/Admin activity in general is pretty low and I do not think that this is going to solve by it self. We need to change something.

Just make the VIP easier to obtain. Seriously, to me it seems that everyone is too afraid to help someone who is incapable of being VIP get promoted, and I myself have had this attitude until now. Seriously, looking at the current requirements to get VIP and at the activity of ALL the VIPS and ADMINS in general I don't think that there are a much or any people who have the chances of getting VIP so people we have a problem. In fact, I think that the people who got the VIP could easily make good admins.
   Okay, let's say that Ϝuzsioᴎ makes an app. I can already imagine people either -1ing it or being not sure, but why? Why is this rank being looked at so damn strictly? It is completely unneeded, plus reporting a VIP isn't as hard as reporting ghosting or maybe even rdms in some cases and considering the current situation it is very unlikely it would do any harm.


   Also, to everyone, do not forget that VIPS CAN POST VIP APPLICATIONS, so fell free to send one anytime.


I'd also like to encourage some players to apply for the VIP, I'll list their names:
memo
Fushion
Travelsonic
Lavanchie
Kahuna
TehHank
Captain Communism
Dark Pacifist
Zevante
blah2355
Astropilot
aerobro
This Toast
This Cactus
Roach
Yellow Killer
RadioActivetomatoes

These are the players who are capable and have the potential for this rank from my perspective, I may have forgotten some as well.

I wouldn't mind VIP but I'm not sure if I'll commit enough time on gmod. Also what discouraged me from applying was that I saw a long list of VIP's that are current. That is not the case as of now so I might.

The more known VIPs we have, the better.

Seriously, why don't we just do this?

It's the least catastrophic suggestion here, and it's the one most easily undone.

If we create a new rank, or promote a bunch of new VIP's, and we decide it was a bad idea, it'd be a lot harder to undo.

[TehHank]

Just saying the reason why i have not been bombarding Admins with my VIP applications is that seeing how only the cream of the crop become VIP's and that (due to my somewhat low esteem) i usually think i don't stand a chance if i did i post a VIp application.

On topic: Reg's should get votekick for a short test time.

Yespls.

And don't worry about it. If you think you can be a VIP, don't be afraid to post an app. There's no repercussions, and at worst, you'll get some constructive criticism on how you can improve.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The power this rank has is completely out matched by how hard it is to get it.

I'm not against to try this and I don't think that if we would promote bunch of new VIPs it would cause harm.

I love how honest you are lol.

Yea, I haven't been on many servers but VIP here seems like it's status is very close Admin lol. By status I mean respect/power. And it seems like we only get a new VIP every once in awhile.

[pyrosheep]

I like Death's idea aswell. Let's do a short test run with regs and see how it works.

[๖Ϝцzsioᴎ]

I love how honest you are lol.

Wow, you really are a dick.
Ontopic: I like Deaths idea.

[memo3300]

I applied for VIP when the system was changed, then i didn't want to apply, and nowadays i haven't been comfortable with the idea because of some stuff.

Pretty much, i got warned twice, one for something i wasn't aware of, because the last time i played TTT before the past 2 weeks was like 9-10 months ago, and the other thing wasn't so much a warning, but an instruction, which i actually kind of disagree.


First thing was to suicide saying someones name, which is a kind of T baiting and i apologize for that, but it wasn't with the intention of T baiting, but to have some fun. (Jumped of because i wanted to suicide, i was doing something and couldn't play that round so went ahead)(also i did understand that people can kill someone for that and lose karma, which is why i wont do it anymore)

And the other one was to get on the top of a building With a prop. I didn't got the place i wanted, but I'm pretty sure that in that place you could still be saw and shot. (Was the highest roof in rooftops)


Being this a big deal or not, i want this kind of stuff to don't happen anymore and catch up how everything is going now on the servers, how does players play now and those kind of stuff.

Being sincere, I question this sometimes, since i still remember when i got shot on the face for saying "I'm gonna Tbag your body" by an admin. This always help me to remember it is a game, and more than anything, is to have fun.

Also one last thing about this is to remember that: A mistake is only a bad thing when you don't learn about it.
