I haven't come to a decision on where I stand regarding this topic yet but I'll throw out a few things. On one hand, our JB server is unique in that someone who's able to play CT is able to give orders and thus determine where the round goes. On the other hand, we often get CTs fighting over which of many orders should be the one Ts follow. I'm not for it if the community's not for it...

As annoying as it may be, having a mic should definitely not be required to play on CT. It's hardly even a problem at all as most chat orders are just ignored and mic orders are followed instead. Throughout all my time on JB, I've only witnessed chat order problems 3 or 4 times. Like @Error said, even if a CT is only giving chat orders, they usually understand that T's won't see it a few times, and so they re type it a few times. It's a completely different story when a CT decides to make one order in chat and enforce it even though none of the T's saw it. This is the chat order problem I mentioned earlier I'd seen about 3 or 4 times. This can cause confusion and can lead to a bunch of freekills. TLDR; chat orders are fine as long as CTs make sure T's can see the order. It allows our server to include people who don't have mics on CT...

pretty sure /records is a command

Bad bad bad idea. JB is mic spammy enough with the alive players. As an admin I’d rather not have to control alive and dead players, but that’s just my opinion. Keep the dead players muted on both servers would be optimal.

I get the fact that people like it, but a 24/7 server of close quarters would be horrendous. People would get tired of playing the same map every single minute and the server would be absolutely barren. Also if we did this for TTT everyone would be asking for 24/7 servers of a map on their respective server... 24/7 viking warfare? @Cept For Her @ThRza

Update: I’ve pretty much decided I’m gonna go with the rx 5700 xt. Ray Tracing is cool but it’s not at the point where it’s a game changer. The raw performance of a rx 5700 xt rivals a 2070 super for the same price as a 2060 super. Now I have to play the waiting game as custom cards have only just started to come out, and are selling out fast... Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

You’re absolutely right now that I’m thinking about it. CA alone would only need about 3 or 4 people and there would be little to do. Maybe if we had laid out like A to SA to SR to SR + CA? I’m on my phone at the moment so I can’t really draw a chart but it would be similar to how AT and IA are. There are exceptions, but commonly people get AT then IA. The “CA” rank could simply be an add on to SR and could better identify people who are candidates for AT. This would however require people who want CA to first get SR, and they would have to play the servers. People who just want SR though, are able to play the servers while not necessarily moderate and be super active on the forums...

I guess I wasn't exactly thinking about that part of the chart. It was more of like a "who's in charge of who" kind of thing. You're absolutely right. You probably would need experience in both AT as well as IA to be promoted...

Agree with a lot of different people in this thread but I just wanted to post my own opinion since I actually think we should change how CA works. First off, I want to clarify I wasn’t here when AO was a thing so I’m not 100% sure how well it worked compared to what we have now. From what I have heard, AO was basically AT and IA combined into one rank. I would consider AT a more server-based rank. ATs manage the server, do updates, allow events, blah blah blah. If ATs more of a server-based rank then IA would be considered more forums-based. IAs handle ban appeals, admin complaints, assist in higher up discussion, etc. The system works pretty well and sometimes ATs can have IA as well. Well how does this relate to CA? Well CA should basically be split up into 2 hypothetical ranks. SR and “CA” or the forums-based rank. SRs would work with the ATs on the server, take input from community, run server-based meetings, know all the rules, server stuff… “CAs” however would be second to IAs (similar to how SRs would be second to ATs). They would do player complaints, moderate forums, awards, group requests, handle reported posts, etc. This hypothetical change would do a couple things. One is it would allow the current CAs to hone in on one side of our community, servers or forums. This is not to say you can’t be both (how an AT can be IA as well). An example of someone I think could be both would be @fantastic he fits both descriptions of the hypothetical rank. Two is it would allow for future members to possibly become “CAs” and not necessarily have to play the servers a ton. And the same with SR if someone is not super active on the forums. Three is that the strange transition from SA to CA would be a little bit easier for someone promoted if they could start at either CA or SR and then either become both eventually or work towards a promotion to AT or IA depending. Of course, like @TheZZL said I still think a member would have to start off by applying for admin, getting the support, have A for three months, get SA and then move on from there... I made a shitty little chart that kind of explains what I’m thinking: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with our current setup but I do think a change could prove helpful. Maybe I’m completely wrong but I think it’s worth a shot...

Why would we need more than 1 scrim server? If you don’t like waiting then just play some other time...
