Here are a few questions to get the ball rolling as far as what resources, money and otherwise, that we can marshal to get our CS:GO office server going. First question: who pays for this thing? I'm not doing the "single payer" option again. Great idea for health care (this is troll bait) but I can't work it into my budget. I would much rather send be one of many people sending $5/10/20 a month to someone else. Second: who wants to admin, or who would you like to see admin? Definitely name any admins who you enjoyed working with in the past. Third: who wants to be a power-mad server operator? At this point, I am strongly opposed to being the main/lead/head/etc op. My talents are certainly at your disposal, but I would much rather assist someone else in being the bad guy.  Disclaimer: I am not in a decision-making position right now. This is a discussion about a server that doesn't exist in a community that has (more or less) been dormant for several months. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for Kalibur to show up and ask for admin in 3...2... Edited Tue Jul 03 2012, 03:15AM |

I would much rather send be one of many people sending $5/10/20 a month to someone else. 20 slots for 19.95/mo off gameservers.com. If someone can't manage to pay at least 5-10 dollars a month, they must not want the server that bad. I'll see what I can find as far as reviews. Alcosatz wrote ...

I know that is is sort of an up in the air question, but I am not interested in administering the server simply because I do not think that I will have enough playtime. That being said, I think the vast majority of us should read that question long and hard. The real life isn't very forgiving and it surely does not give us a lot of room to work with for administration. I have a few names in mind for a great core group to start, but I'm not at all familiar with the way everyone's RL plays out. Alcosatz wrote ... Third: who wants to be a power-mad server operator?

I would like to help out with this but I will warn you that I have much to learn. My job is relatively laid back in the sense that during the work hours, I could make some changes on the DL, but as for emergencies that happen, I can't guarantee you that I'll be on it like a fireman. I feel that I would be better off here in this role as I cannot promise that I will be indentured to in-game. Alcosatz wrote ... Disclaimer: I am not in a decision-making position right now.

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for Kalibur to show up and ask for admin in 3...2... I think he's banned. Anyways, in case all of you didn't notice, I am all up for reviving FT as a fun and dandy group again. However, while the idea seems nice of taking one of the reigns, I cannot see myself in much of any leadership role other than sitting on the forums and reading through all of your material. That being said, I still would love to help out in some way. However, although we have matured, the constraints of growing up and getting a real job are going to drag us down. If we're going to go through with this, and a lot of you guys are going to pee your pants in excitement with the possibility of having admin in our shiny new toy, it's going to be a lot of hard work. I'm still waiting on Glitch's revamped sexy new constitution, and all of your feedback as to how we are actually going to get this rusted heap moving again. Some of us have done our share of work now, it is up to you guys to work together and provide the necessary feedback so we know what we are working with. |

I'll be down to donate some money towards FT's revival. Also, once we get a bit of this stuff all situated, I think we should get a Mumble server. For anyone who doesn't know what Mumble is, it's basically like Ventrilo/Teamspeak except a LOT better, and even comes with an in-game overlay. |

I am willing to admin, but I will obviously won't be on until at the earliest 5. I work 7:30 to 4:15 and I have a part time job that is usually 1 or 2 nights a week. I'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to admin but I can certainly say that I will be there any week night that I don't have to work as well as some weekend time (cause I fucking love drunk CSS). I think I am responsible enough to handle it and I don't really have an ego problem, fair is fair imo. As far as the server goes, I say we up the ante a bit and get a decent server. If it is only for 2 months then why not throw the extra cash at it to make it a good server, just my opinion. More than willing to help out as far as money goes. PM a paypal email and I'll send whatever you need.  Btw, I'm pretty sure our vent server is still up. I use it every now and again

As far as payment for the server goes, I'm with peace. Shoot me a paypal account or w.e and I'd be more than willing to help out. After all this is a COMMUNITY and $5 is less than I've have to chip in for weed in the past. |

My work schedule varies weekly, but I usually work later afternoon into the night. I 'll be on late nights though (midnight eastern), so you west coasters will see a lot of me. I'd be willing to help out in any way you guys would need me, however I understand my past experiences wouldn't give you guys much confidence. Doesn't matter to me, I just want to play and have some fun. And now that most of us are grown up and have jobs, I don't think we'll have much of a problem rounding up 20 bucks a month if we have a solid, dedicated user base. | ||

I don't know what I'll be at for playtime, however I would love to help pay for the server(s). I also wouldn't mind helping with admin, however my skills and time are limited as I am working two jobs. Overall I would just like to see the revival of this clan, so I am willing to help with anything. | ||

Ill be on whenever i can. I dont play any games anymore for the most part. I will not buy an MMO or mmorpg anymore as it consumes too much of my time...time that i do not have anymore. Games like counterstrike where i can just jump in and frag are where its at for me...which is good because i can play it frequently and i plan to do so. I am waiting on a job which is an 8-4 monday through friday...which means i can be on A LOT. I was an admin in the past and enjoyed the responsibility so count me in for the list of potential admins. And i have money to spare (not really but i can not buy some wine and beer every month and EASILY chip in 20 a month). |

I'm happy to chip in some money every month. Also happy to admin as always. I'm not necessarily CSing a lot, but I do game a lot. Once everyone gets on again I will be CSing a lot. |

I'd love to take over my old admin position again. Would be willing to organize and take a leadership role on top of those responsibilities. | ||
