Not to pooh-pooh your comments, but I think that if the success of the new MG has a high dependency on staff and staff issues, then we are doing it wrong. One of the reasons I believe HS is successful is because it essentially runs itself (those involved with HS, let me know if you disagree). After an initial effort investment, the developers need only to descend from on high every so often. TW has done a good job of automating their events, which I think is something MG should look to imitate (and not just by adding doors in all the events, that was dumb). Lastly, MG needs to solve the problem of getting players. It's not fun with 10 people in pub, it's fun with 40.

If my memory serves me correctly, Testtube was the zone's host back when Julius Caesar was the owner. JC helped pay for a while, and they took donations, but ultimately I think Testtube ended up spending a good deal of money, which was a nice thing of him to do. Then JC was accused of stealing donations, he got kicked out and Testtube took over as owner and host. This was in 2004, I think. If we are looking for a ceremonial blessing to restart MG, I bet Admiral Kirk could provide it.

Agreed. I think a lot of what will make this a success is someone with the motivation and time to see it through. I'm also willing to help organize and format things ... forums, rules, staff, events, etc. I am a bit of a perfectionist, which I think is what you want for this. I could also try my hand at botting, but it is my opinion that once a CTF bot is running reliably in MG on Subgame, most of the dev effort should be put into getting MG running on ASSS. Don't be such a Negative Nancy.

Would anyone (SSC, freakmonger, Testtube) take issue with somebody starting up MG again? I remember a little while ago there was a guy who set up an MG clone who was pretty quickly run out of town. I don't think MG necessarily has to change its gameplay to be successful again. The way it is now though, there's a minimum critical mass of players (I peg it at 12vs12 games occurring daily) for it to be a lot of fun. I think this and someone finding the time to manage the zone are the main barriers to it starting back up. Is getting hosting on SSC easy and straightforward now? It's always been pretty hazy to me. If there was reasonable assurance of getting a spot on someone's server and an SSC slot (after development is done), I'd work on this.

Who do you work for? I want to invest! I must be in the wrong business ... I've been in the workplace one year, my raise was 2.0% and I was told that was good, there's no bonuses, and now there's a two-year pay freeze. http://forums.ssgn.net/public/style_emoticons/default/cray.gif

B(ROCKSTAR)!!! It does, but it isn't the same without you.

Just going to drop this in here. No hard feelings PlayWolf, but I'm having a hard time understanding how the family-friendly spirit allows for fap discussion.

mr.ez.noob, that is easily the sweetest setup of anybody I've seen on Continuum. I use KeePass too, but I don't bit-brag about it.

Words to live by.

How do I subscribe to this list?

For reals man! There were already no raises at my workplace in 2009, and now 2011 and 2012 won't have any either.

I still think that the sale price of the shell should be set to make shell-farming worthwhile.

This is amazing!

YEAH BUT HOW TALL?!

Yeah but how tall are you?

Hi Paul. Should have made it a poll. 5'10"

You know I'm only kidding. I'd sound 10 times worse if I essayer'd de conjuguer mes verbs en frenchais.

It's funny because that's exactly how she would say it.

Stay strong Weebz. Haters gonna hate.

The coming of PriitK is nigh. Repent and your zone may still be spared.

Nice catch. Balla status.

Are you blind? It's sitting on the trunk, and then the hood.
