Player poll: Prefered solutions to the density problem?
Moderator: ALFA Administrators
Just a quick question to everyone talking about retiring PCs for cut servers and such: Does retiring your current PC mean you can't make a new one? If you absolutely cannot find a good reason to move your current PC, why not make a new one somewhere else? If you're unwilling to do so, why?

Further if someone is forced to retire a well developed long time PC due to OOC reasons, why would they just take their licks and make a new one?Some players have years invested in their PCs. Those PCs are not easily dropped for OOC reasons.

I'm so with people. I have lost my longest standing PC for IC reasons and that sucked alot. To have to drop something that you've worked months on to create just becuase would render me uninterested in making another charater ever. Why bother make anything if random OOC junk can take it away? Death at least is a story and has significance. My last PC Azair wouldn't have left SD for long either since she was commited to a cause and less we are going to say that cause evaporated (which isn't likely since it would mean serious damage to a large section of land which definaly isn't cannon) like hell would she move.

Ahh but a crafty dm can come up with ic reasons for anyone to move to the next server. Nothing else they can pull the "insert diety" fixed it card.
I think it's the ooc lak of player/dm's that is causing me ic boredom,nobody talk's with me,etcc.. Nothing like a dm asking you why you are striking up a one sided conversation for rl hour.

*shrugs* for some that would work but honestly why should I have to move? I mean if I'm happy where I am why should I be forced to move at all? Is that fair to me? I mean I may not have tons of people to talk to but I'm fine with that. I've had some great times with just a few people around but they where consistant. Also I'm pretty good at coming up with stuff for my pc to do asuming she can travel around the current server. I really don't see the need to close down servers but player/DM matching would be nice.Stormseeker wrote:Ahh but a crafty dm can come up with ic reasons for anyone to move to the next server.

"Something else"
Build stuff people like and doesn't require DM action 24/7.
Get a good DM crew.
Let teams that fall behind just fall behind, lets not waste time on whether they should be dropped or not. If Admin suspects they don't want to participate, talk to them kindly.
Admin has always had the power to bump a server, i don't see why anything needs to change that much.

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

did you not see the debacle when Duck was bumped? Clearly defined expectations to get *and stay* live are needed. Binding Admin's hands is not, but something more than mere whim (OK, well thought whim, but still whim without defined expectations).
Regular auditing is also needed. I've had PCs point out mistakes in TPI I had no clue about.

something else:
current NWN2 admin proposal stipulations
very confusing poll
does "change nothing from current state" mean current state of NWN1 or the current state of the NWN2 admin proposal?
couldnt find that as an option in the poll that represented the current proposal (unless i misread something) and can't understand why
option two seemed too but then adds in something about dead stuff that i don't remember in the current admin proposal (again i may have misread)
edit: this part...
that is not representative of the current admin proposal and thus the current admin proposal does not have an option in this poll
i'm not suggesting there was an agenda of bias against current admin proposal behind the wording, but the addition of that quoted part will skew people from voting for that option

should not have been added to option 2 IF that was supposed to represent current admin NWN2 proposal because basically adding that to the option would cause people not to vote for it...an option thus to build a fixed number say 7 and if 5 went dead TUFF you will only have 2 servers!...who would vote for that?Once live, servers would not be removed, even if "dead", and their spots could not be taken by other servers while they remained live.

I chose option 3 bearing the addition of clear-cut guidelines to what defines a "dead" server. I had a conversation a little while ago with Inaubryn, iirc, about this issue and my opinion on "dead" servers is quite precise. I won't post anything regarding the conversation without the consent of the second party but if Admin wishes I can paraphrase in a PM.
