An idea...

This may be far out...

But I wondered what the chances are of Game.net sponsoring a BW clan?

It could be a fairly big one, covering several different types of games, with I guess ('cos Im biased!) the HL mods taking priority over other games?

Would this work?

At the very least it could bring a real sense of community to BW, as BW peeps could then enter leagues, etc., together?

Just musing here... taking a break from essays...

But feel free to reply :)

Pls!

Well i had this idea a long time ago... and did start to put it into motion with BWNS.... but lack of dedication from the few NS players their were and the whole game.net change kinda stopped it in its tracks....

the idea behidn it was sound but yeah doing it over HL mods for instance would be a very good idea...

Damn it -Ultimate, Summo is mine!

Hmmm.

Kinda happy in a way they meant their clan, I almost thought I was being called a Glen at first :eek:

/me waits for other feedback other than pimping of clans.

Sponsoring a bf1942 clan would never be financially viable thats for certain. In fact the only thing that seems to be popular in this whole p2p malarky is bwcsl, which has enough exposure through ukterrorist, and therefore a bwcsl clan would probably give the best exposure.

Sorry but whats the point ? No ones going to change thier clan name or anything, I cant see how its going to work :(
Look, you all know whats needed for BW servers, yet none of you seem to want to do it. What have you got to do ?
oh yeah, play on the servers, thats it. Nothing else is very important. Not posting on here, not sitting endlessly in irc. It doesnt mean anything, BW, or Game.net as it should really be called I suppose, is about being a gsp. That means primarily gaming servers.
Tonight me and a couple of the peeps had a few games on BW1. A few people came on, and I asked them if they were new subscribers, and amazingly enough bout 3 or 4 of them were. They didnt hang about very long ,but all the same its a start. New people will not use the servers unless there are people on them already.
Niether will most of you guys it seems.
Well, we're the ones posting on here, we're the old timers of BW, maybe, just maybe, we should be making the effort now ?


/sorry for rant, im a bit pissed :) But hey, you know im right chaps :)

What the hell is all this G crap? And if its not to do with HL then bugger off! :)

I'm learning to scuba dive in Byron Bay now, weather has been a bit shitty here -but better than that in the UK from what I hear.

Blissfully unaware of any world events while I travel around and stay in hostels. The world could end and I wouldnt realise.

Oh yeah a website pimp because I actually update it now. The links in the sig.

You doing an open one ... and ur scared of breathing under water :p

One thing i can say ... make sure they give you ur logbook and relevant paper work if u complete it.. may sound common sense but when i first did my advanced open water they forgot ... so it was useless :((

Anyway have a good time and watch the bar in ur tank ;)

Personally I find CS more entertaining when there is more than one player on the server.

Not much more entertaining, obviously, but still.

Ffs the point is, we want people to play on our servers. By now there must be more people out there with bw subscriptions. So, they check the servers , whos there ? Nope, no one. O fuck it then , I'll go on Jolt, Blueyonder yada yada.
If only 3 or 4 of the 30 or so regular posters / irc hang abouters on here could be ARSED to play on the servers, the possibility would surely be that more people would use them, and they would get busier in a snowball kind of effect.
But of course, the problems seem to be,
a) A lot of the people here may well be so l33t they dont actually want to play more than one round a week for fear of someone spotting them on a "bad day" when their score aint so good, thus ruining their reputation :rolleyes: I doubt very much whether anyone here would admit to that, however it's the only explanation I can have for a lot of the "woops my score is 2-4 quick say omg lag etc - hit esc". To those people Id say, err, its game, try to enjoy it, whether you're that good at it or not is equivelent to the square route of fuck all anyway, as i have said before.
b) I can only assume that irc and talking about how many channels you got ops in is actually far more interesting than playing an online pc game.
Golly aint I harsh ? Sorry lads .
TAFKASL I dont know who you are, and you appear to be new to these forums, so Im not going to coat you or tell you to foad or anything, but if you're going to quote my posts I'd be grateful if you did it in a reasonably constructive manner. I take it you are a BW subscriber of course ?

Was one of the first people on bwcs when it went subs, tubby. And I ran around an empty server for 20 minutes until people joined. But if you think I'm doing that every night AND paying for the privilege you're going to be disappointed.

I agree that 3 or 4 people playing on the servers would be enough to get things going again, and if you need people to do it I suggest you look no further than those who get PAID to play here: the admins and liaisons.

Hmmm, did someone not tell me something ? Im an admin AND a liason, no ones paid me yet ! Ted !!!
So your answer is what exactly ? Nothing ? Well pld. I appreciate this is reflective of the attitude of most of the people here these days, but if that attitude continues we can say bye bye to BW I think.
I assume thats not what you want. So your suggestion is ?
