Hosters

[tiss61]

i think the zone should hire hosters. like maybe 3 or 4 people that stays on a lot, so after a flaggame without second thought the hosts begin hosting games. Truthfully i dont see anything wrong or bad can go wrong. Hosts are different from mods. They dont EVER need to care about who's cheating, hacking, or breaking the rule. Their only job is host. and their ONLY power is in the subarenas, so they cant abuse or grant themselves anything in public arena. So it souldn't be that hard to pick out hosts: just pick someone that play HS a lot... so what do you think? Do Hyperspace need hosters?

I think Unix already did this. And i don't think you can give a person powers just in a sub arena. So right now i'd say yes but i think mod and higher could be able to host events every now and then. So my Answer right now is No

[tiss61]

yes but mods are mostly about keeping the zone cheat free. but the hosters are FULLY COMMITED to ONLY AND ONLY hosting, that's the difference

[Acer]

Ok..But if there was a cheater and they was the only one on what would they do if they had no powers in pub arena ?

then too bad. a hoster is like a NORMAL person in public arena. the best they can do is like all other people can do... ?message a mod! like i said. there's a HUGE difference between hoster and mods. hosters just make the arena more interasting NOTHING ELSE! it's a simple job that whoever gets on HS a lot can do. why is it so hard for you to comprehend that?

Ugh. "Hoster" is NOT A WORD. It's just "Host."

[Dr Brain]

Won't happen.

[mij]

no one would want that job. have you ever hosted an event? it's boring as !@#$%^&*

let's have this guy replace rare because he clearly knows what mods are all about

[Syrith]

Just have events automated at specific times (maybe peak hours). Races should be fairly easy to automate.

[»D1st0rt]

elim is already automated o.O

[Suicide_Run]

Elim doesnt prize $.

[»D1st0rt]

that's an entirely different topic right there

You can give a person powers in only selected subarenas. This is something that is possible even with Subgame (let alone ASSS).

[Kilo]

i think you're all forgetting that mods would have more time to host and would be more willing to do it if you jerks would stay in line

aka if you want hosting, don't give the mods a hard time

hiring an event coordinator/hosting person is equivalent to spitting on the mods and making them almost useless and an undesirable position

What about for things like tourneys and leagues? Edited July 9, 2008 by Kelaiah

I can't see a leagues happening in HS since the player could have a 2mil item..Unless they give every one the same ship set..Which destroys the purpose of Hyperspace.....

[Kilo]

Obv any legitimate league wouldn't use your public ships. You would have a subset of the public items (probably no 2M items) to choose from specifically for league based on a given number of points, not your actual cash. (If you've played elim you know how this works.)

Actually, since the topic was on hosting and mods, I was asking about having someone host leagues or tourneys. Do we foresee any of that happening anytime soon?

 

I don't really mind the use of pub shipsets since it seems like this zone is based on the idea of having a choice how your ship is made. But I think that it would be wise to limit the items available in that tourney/league to a select few.
