Requiem. Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) On Hyperspace, an event is usually hosted after a flag game because it is the best time possible. Mods find it easier to host a good hyperball or race with a 15 v 15 going. However today, (and lately for that matter), there was no host. Now I know that there can't be a mod who hosts on all the time. but its been WEEKS since Ive seen a host.I always recieve this message about the two mods who actually do host. ?find RivelRivel is in Trench wars ?find PsiscytheNot online last seen (over 24 hours ago) and the one ysop who sometimes hosts ?find Arnk dylieArnk dylie is in hockey zone (<-- jerk ) Hs needs more event mods, and mods in general. Right now, 6:21 pm est, there havent been any mods online for 2 hours. That's just sad. (can't believe my forum account got deleted from inactivity :< I had 2k + on here from 17th parallel ) EDIT :: title was bad wording, I didnt mean we need to replace old mods. I mean we need a new mod or mods for events or something like that note: I know all about the unix thing, or atleast I think I do lol xD, but hyperspace should consider re-trying event co-ord.

Dr Brain Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Moderators are hired for their ability to moderate the population (hence the name, moderator). They are not hired to host events. That said, many of them do host events because they enjoy it. By demanding events, you pretty much ensure that things will be hosted less often (it's simple human nature). Quote
Sharpflame Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Indeed. Don't be concerned about lack of moderation until rules are being broken regularly with no punishment! Quote
Corey Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Arnk has been really active lately, and I've even seen D1 and sf on for a bit. Quote

That said, many of them do host events because they enjoy it. By demanding events, you pretty much ensure that things will be hosted less often (it's simple human nature). Hence why he said "Event mods." Nobody in their right mind can stand shooting others in center for over 20 minutes. Sooner or later they all quit or move to more active zones. HS is pretty much a dead zone. There is no new activity, nothing. The only reason people are here is because they can't stand to watch their time and effort go to waste building their spaceship. Thats the only hook right now: the unique RPG style of HS. Eventually though it wont be enough. New event mods would be a good way to jumpstart the zone. They can host some random trivia, throw around a few fun arena messages, spur up the players, host events, help new players out, etc. You should consider someone to become a new event moderator soon, or there will no longer be a player pool for you to choose from.

Kilo Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Nobody in their right mind can stand shooting others in center for over 20 minutes.But apparently if they're surrounded by walls it's another matter! Why be a normal moderator when you can be an event moderator with no responsibility? Sounds like Unix, the Sequel. omni's doomsaying is getting old. Quote
Acer Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 omni's doomsaying is getting old. Yet he does make a good point. Quote
mij Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Nobody in their right mind can stand shooting others in center for over 20 minutes.But apparently if they're surrounded by walls it's another matter! yes...it is in fact. Quote
Suicide_Run Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 HS NEEDS PEOPLE WHO CARE!You made me chuckle ER won't be able to do much if there's a limit on hosting events...or at least I think there is. Not that I am suggesting the removal of the limit. Quote
omni Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) omni's doomsaying is getting old. Don't try and pretend it's not happening. Look at the zone lately. The zone isn't even up or working several hours a day AND population rarely goes over 20 now. Edited February 28, 2009 by omni Quote
Requiem. Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic=22772 This will explain better. Also, This forum is closed, when a mod can get around to. Thank you whomever does it Edited March 1, 2009 by Requiem. Quote
Acer Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Lol. Well I guess it's a waste of time trying to get these things done by the players. Lets just stop and let the mods have time to do something instead of making them waste time posting on these forums. I give up. Lol, Just hope things get better soon cause I'm starting to miss the fun times from last reset/the beginning of this reset. Quote
Corey Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 This discussion is not closedMight as well close it Arnk, its going nowhere. Quote
CDB-Man Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 if you think about the end of this reset and the end of last reset, the average pop at the end of last reset was 35 players (lots of base games) versus end of this reset's average 17 players (little base games). Im thinking maybe it has something to do with last reset being during the summer? Where people are NOT in college dorms studying/going to school? Anyways, this reset is dying compared to last time, especially when you compare the population right now to the population near the end of last reset. Quote
op2rules Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Yes, hs needs people who care, and I remember back in the day events were like once or twice a year, and they should actually be toned down to make them more rare. Quote
Requiem. Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 Yes, hs needs people who care, and I remember back in the day events were like once or twice a year, and they should actually be toned down to make them more rare.Stop being so naive. Mods in hs DO care, as does the owner, it's just they ae incredibally busy or scik or whatever their up to. I'm saying we need a mod who usually ISN'T so busy. not likely, we've all got exams week coming up Quote
Stibbymicto Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Hs has always needed an event coordinator. Even to just, as omni put it, post a few of thsoe funny green messages to spur up some interaction between player and zone.hs is loosing interest quickly, if SOMETHING isn't figured out soon, then the player pool will diminish. Allow me to explain, I made 2 base games monday march 15th that lasted 5 hours at a steady 15 v15,Tuesday Dragon, mazter, and I made a huge b game of 20 v 19 for 5 hoursWednesday, I log in to a 3v2Thurday was even worse. The 20 v 19 is the largest population we've had ALL reset.and its rare. Not to mention at the end of thsoe games everyone wanted a host and no mods were online (until wednesday..)Event hosting in hs should be more organized and less sporadic. I bet if a mod posted what days he/she would host then their would be even more players online at that time. now, I'm not saying a mod HAS to host events, but an event HOSTER would spur up the game and keep players interested. Even if only once a week the moderator would host. Atleast it would be something to look forward to (see "keep players interested") fact is is that Hs is rapidly dwindling. Something obviously needs to be done, and since brain is adamant on not making a new mod, that thing needs to be figured out asap. Edited March 20, 2009 by Stibbymicto Quote
Dr Brain Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 lol, panic attack much? When have I said that I was against new mods? All I said was that I didn't see a need for one. Besides, it's not my call. I haven't been the guy in charge of mods for years and years. I don't know why you say it's rapidly dwindling. The population has been fairly constant over the past month. People have short memories. The zone's population is very cyclic. This time of year, it's low. Population correlates well with development activity (that's correlation, not causation), and two thirds of the way through the spring and fall semesters is always the low point. Around finals time it always picks up. Quote
Rivel Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Even if only once a week the moderator would host. What are you talking about? I host like every day, if not 2. Edited March 20, 2009 by Rivel Quote
Stibbymicto Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Even if only once a week the moderator would host. What are you talking about? I host like every day, if not 2.yes rivel. Around 2:00 pm usually, when noone is really online except for the people who dont have schooling.I have my college classes around then, sometimes I'm lucky to be on during your hosts. Yes rivel, I know you also hsot in the evenings, dont take it liek im attacking you. I KNOW YOU HOST. it's just you guys cant be on ALL the time, I was just trying to lessen the strain (as was, i believe requiem) of mods having to host. Quote
Suicide_Run Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 What are you talking about? I host like every day, if not 2.If players didn't see you host, they count that no one hosted Quote
vetta64 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 I've actually seen a lot of hoistinng in the last couple weeks which I liked. But please, and I mean please DO NOT ruin flag games by announcibg that there may possibly be and event. You know who you are ahem *sharp* ahem. Quote
Kilo Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Ending a flag game by flag win is not ruining a flag game. Quote
