Server Hoster Nomination Thread

[Lostmotel]

Ponce put a lot of effort into his server so I think he should be nominated here.

[GreaseMonkey]

My nominations:
- a_girl for Testdrive (p.s. please upgrade to 0.76)
- izzy for Aloha (seriously, why doesn't he have this badge already?)

topo, Enari and Sham already have the badge.

> sham (been a while since i played on this server tbh. always good! lovely scripts! excellent mods!)

> izzy (aloha has always been well moderated with some of the best maps during my year or so camping and sniping)

> whoever hosts CallOfLiberty (because Babel is my game of choice at the moment and it's either here or aloha, depending on a free slot being available)


hell, sometimes even the hacky servers are cool enough with the right map and zero ragequit tbh. there's a zen quality at the worst of times playing AoS

izzy

maybe even ponce.

Sham is already a hoster.

Also, a big FUCK NO to Call of Liberty.
- Their head admin artificially boosted their player counts so their servers looked like they were always "nearly full", even when they were completely empty.
- He also trusted Source to be an admin, when he's a complete and utter fucktard and has all his IP ranges on the GBL permanently with a big DO NOT LIFT note, AND is the ONLY person on Iceball who is banned (the ranges are HARDCODED into Iceball). That video CANNOT capture how fucking lame Source is.
- I heard from another admin that they really don't have enough activity amongst the admins. As they're not doing anything particularly unique to compensate (ignoring those two points, of which the first isn't actually unique), by this point alone they shouldn't get the badge.

I would vote for Cowie for Stormwind, even though he's left (and I'm currently the one managing now), he did a great job and I respect him for that, as well as many other people.

If you've ever played on the Stormwind servers, in my opinion (and perhaps yours too;) are one of the best admined servers there are; they actually respond pretty fast to be honest. Which is why it's sort of built it's own little community of returning players and created a lot of friendships. Although that hasn't changed much since I manage now (because of the same team and all), but Cowie was the one who began it and promoted this kind of practice.

Sorry for the off-topic but I was hoping to see if there's any more news on the artist badge too? I've applied yet no news how/when people get picked. Will there also be nominations for that?

[Ballistic]

Can I vote for someone who used to host great servers?

If so, then I vote for Lostmotel, for hosting the HOMO servers. They were recently shut down, about a month ago.
