Humber, that admin was me and my appearances in game are anything but rare. I don't usually play in the evening, that is correct. In answer to your criticism I would say that I don't normally see you in game during the daytime when i'm on so i'm not sure how you can discount my assertions that many are enjoying friendly fire and that it has made a difference in our attendance.
Now just to remind you, I did come into TS immediately after turning FF on as per request by Jman. The very first thing that I said as I came in, after being jumped on by two or three voices was that I'm not here to argue and I will not entertain the idea of arguing. I said that I am willing to discuss any aspect of this with anyone. Yes, I did error in turning it on without asking and I apologised for not checking of which you are aware because you were in TS at that time. I had a discussion with Jman regarding this and explained why I was running it daily, which nobody else has had an issue with. There is an off switch and can be used as easily as the on command so I don't see a problem there.
The entire idea here is to try different things to make an older game a bit more fresh.
I have tried to initiate various things over the last 2 years including admin meetings, COD4 server, running different weapons on odd maps etc and I always hear the same damned thing "that won't work", "Oh no not shotguns", "not this map" and on and on and on. What I do not see is very much help in trying out these things except for a very few interested admin.
Friendly Fire is an added attractant to the game and does not in any way take anything away from it. It actually lends to the realism factor that OTaC has been trying to achieve with our ruleset and weapons limiting. This isn't a catastrophe, and it isn't detrimental to the game. You're an admin, if when you come in and there are no other admin, or if the guests would like it turned off then by all means turn it off. You do have that ability. If those who play in the evening prefer to have it off then turn it off, it's very simple to do.
Yes, I has initially suggested it to be a Friday event, but with so many enjoying it I felt that running it during the day wouldn't cause any issues.
This isn't about what I like, as I said during the discussion which you heard. I also said that you you yesterday in TS when you mentioned FF. It has to do with what seems to be best for OTaC and the server as a whole. Have a look at my scores sometime, i'm in daily. You'll soon notice that I spend a great deal of my time actually admining, welcoming new players, setting up different maps with odd weapons and basically doing what I can to make OTaC server an enjoyable experience for all who join!

So... trial and error

Thats not at all what Voodoo was talking about Hahaha Come on man lol

It is what we've already been doing though
