Sim: hows sevilidan
Sim is now playing Garry's Mod. Click here to join.
Madcombat: Going really good
Madcombat: We reach 17 players roughly each day, we populate around 11 onwards throughout the night
Sim: and it's been up since...?
Sim: 2 weeks? 3? a month?
Madcombat: Coming upto 2-3 weeks now, my playerbase is VERY in agreement with the situation we have here and are enjoying it.
Sim: huh
Sim: nice
Madcombat: Yes
Madcombat: It's good.
Sim: right now im just sitting back and relaxing while i enjoy this weather that just hit us
Madcombat: That's cool to hear.
Sim: 5ºC each night, never seen before where i live
Madcombat: But yeah
Madcombat: At Sevilidan, I've attracted a VERY mature and friendly playerbase
Madcombat: Cancerous individuals are tossed out and even cancerous individuals who've been cancer in the past have toned themselves down because they enjoy the server.
Madcombat: Im in a VERY good position.
Madcombat: :)
Madcombat: Despite the fact; I am the only admin
Madcombat: And the only guy running it.
Sim: thats bad lol
Sim: y
Madcombat: Not exactly.
Sim: you shouldn't be proud of that
Madcombat: I actually can be and I can explain why.
Sim: i got tired of my server after a month and really needed the admins to back me up
Madcombat: YET
Madcombat: They betrayed you
Madcombat: And fucked your shit
Madcombat: Repeatedly behind your back
Madcombat: I dont want to get into a arguement about it, however I will say; we are growing to a point I may recruit 1-3 admins
Madcombat: Im managing over 70 character profiles currently and constantly updating them each day.
Sim: thats tiring
Madcombat: No it isnt
Madcombat: It's really easy
Madcombat: I've designed it that way to be easy
Madcombat: Every fantasy server that's came since the first Sevilidan test has based sheet applications off my system as you know, the problem is most of them have implemented a difficult system and have made it difficult for themselves
Madcombat: I have placed myself into a position to merely state 2 words in a thread
Madcombat: And the rest is done.
Madcombat: This means I can check my entire forums and provide a update in 20 minutes
Madcombat: Of my day.
Madcombat: (Easy)
Madcombat: AT the same time
Madcombat: Each day, I hold an event.
Madcombat: Without fail.
Madcombat: Im content with my playerbase Sim
Madcombat: Shit dude, I manage more then just character sheets
Madcombat: I manage business threads too and faction threads
Madcombat: Detailing armies
Madcombat: And economy.
Madcombat: Hell, one elf is building a guild house to start up a Mercenary company
Madcombat: (He had to get the rights to build on the land from the Local managing knight = Who is a player.)
Sim: cool
Sim: fantasy was all about what the player wanted
Sim: fantasyrp*
Madcombat: Yes and no, if you give it too easily (Like Vex's server atm) or dont provide idea influx into the community
Madcombat: You kinda get reports like I have about things getting stale (Talking about what i've heard from Solarflux members)
Madcombat: I operate on a small economy Sim, Job pay outs = -40 coins
Madcombat: One piece of steel armor can cost over 500 coins
Madcombat: Like a helmet.
Madcombat: As you can imagine, I've got a very entrepreneural playerbase
Sim: okay
Madcombat: You know the best part too Sim?
Madcombat: No one has magic yet
Sim: cool
Sim: "yet"
Madcombat: Yes, yet.  It wont be long until I start pushing spells into the economy.
Madcombat: In my Event dungeons, people tend to need to make multiple runs over the course of a week to clear out a single place
Sim: i think you're making it way too slow lmao
Sim: 1 week is a fucking lot
Madcombat: Yes it is and it is good.
Madcombat: Roleplay shouldnt be a 1 month thing
Sim: 48 hours should be enough
Madcombat: No it shouldnt lol
Sim: it's a fucking lot dude
Madcombat: Yes it is.
Madcombat: Did you know people can only mine once a day
Madcombat: In my server?
Sim: i don't want to spend 1 week trying to clear a dungeon for -40 coins
Madcombat: lol - I said job pay outs = 40 coins
Madcombat: Not dungeon raids
Madcombat: Raids consist fo great rewards
Sim: still think it's way too slow paced
Madcombat: SUch as potions, enchantment ingrediants, herbalism ingrediants, black smithing ingrediants.
Sim: if you had a group of over 5 people, good gear and a good plan, it wouldn't take you more than a day to clear a single place
Madcombat: Plan?  What are you planning?
Madcombat: Do you know how many bandits are inside one crypt?
Madcombat: How many skeletons lurk?
Madcombat: Can't plan for that man.
Sim: ever watched log horizon
Madcombat: This isnt anime
Sim: they had good plans for their dungeon raids
Sim: they sent scouts
Madcombat: That's the key fundemental difference
Madcombat: Between Fantasy and Sevilidan
Sim: this isn't real life either
Sim: LMAO
Madcombat: Perhaps even Solarflux
Madcombat: But my community accepts and knows
Madcombat: That their characters are not heros.
Madcombat: Many are nobles, many are peasants.
Madcombat: What makes my server is the social events being made out of player interaction
Sim: eventually those player interactions will lack out, or get stale
Madcombat: For example, a recent Baron of a town who was vasselized just had an Peasant revolt.
Sim: or people will fight for something
Sim: and they'll get separated
Madcombat: They will fight - yes.  I expect it.
Madcombat: I want it
Sim: and everyone would go somewhere else
Madcombat: I want my players characters to fight, to stir conflict.
Sim: people will bitch no one is in the towns cus of it
Sim: and boom
Sim: population decreases
Madcombat: And yet, it hasnt.
Sim: tell that to sevilidan 1.0 lmao
Madcombat: Sevilidan 1.0 was a test.
Sim: yeah
Sim: whatever you say
Sim: i can call fantasyrp a test
Sim: hell
Sim: i can call catalyst four a test
Sim: because people can call me out that it was bad
Sim: so i can just use it as a defense
Madcombat: Not exactly, there was litterally a clause on Sevilidan that I was using the server as a means to test many things such as administration, roleplay psychology, reactions to PK's.  Sevilidan 1.0 was very usefull because of the information I gained.
Madcombat: I told people this routinely
Madcombat: That's your fault if you care not to listen lol
Sim: -Hey, let's make a server
-Okay, cool!
-Shit, my server is going down the hill, what do?
-QUICK, TELL THEM IT'S A TEST!
-but they won't ca-
-DO IT.
Madcombat: Uh huh, well whatever you say man.  Everyone was well made aware that I was using the sever to test functions and experiment.
Madcombat: Where or not you want to realize that is upto you.
Sim: no they weren't
Sim: i don't care if you call your servers as tests
Madcombat: Sim, there is people who listen and people who do not- there is also people who get too involved and forget all else.   We made clear what Sevilidan was about and what I was using the first server as a means for.
Madcombat: Im not sure why you care anyhow.
Madcombat: lol
Sim: but if you watch dremek, his servers have given him a reputation of making shit servers
Madcombat: I dont care about this "Dremek."
Sim: atleast stand up and assume sevilidan 1.0 was shit, just like i do with catalyst four and fantasy
Madcombat: Sevilidan 1.0 wasnt shit Sim, you have a personal opinion.     Many people was actually disapointed by the shutting down of my test.   I do recall vocally telling people however that the server would return once the right schemes was placed and prepared as well as environment for it.
Sim: i stopped when you said sevilidan 1.0 wasn't shit
Madcombat: You -might- go "You being the only admin is bad." but I disagree because of my growth rate, it's proven otherwise.  I also disagree because the system I've created, the very system I use and you do not has allowed me to manage it.
Sim: whatever you said dude
Madcombat: Okay Sim.
Madcombat: Question, why are you so bothered by me and my server?
Sim: you say*
Sim: im not bothered
Sim: im bothered that you are talking to it like it should be put in an altar
Madcombat: Because I value my community and appreciate it.
Madcombat: You could say; I appreciate it enough not to place a drunken man in charge of administration.
