Ich's Games

My original proposition (hosts hall of shame) was flawed. It was pointed out earlier at this thread and I've seen the error in it. I've even stated as much in an earlier post. So Ich, your response on this was not necessary.

I didn't read this thread before I started to give replies. I read it from the top down and replied to the posts when I felt like I should comment on them. Since you didn't edit out / delete your proposition, I feel just as eligible to reply to it now as if I'd have done it one week earlier. If you give me input then you should expect feedback on it.

Now, a sticky thread with the list of active hosts and some statistics (how many games hosted etc) will be quite helpful IMO. This thread can also serve the hosts as well to post messages to their players like "my server caught fire so X, Y, Z games are lost".

That's not a bad idea, but I think that it would quickly join the ranks of the countless other not-being-updated and obsolete threads around the forums here. Feel free to do it.

wouldnt that be the top sticky that is already in the MP forum?

[JimMorrison]

Nonsense Gandalf! That uhhh, oh the top sticky? The one about MP hosts? That's silly to think that should be used to keeping track of MP hosts.

[WraithLord]

Ich, That's perfectly cool. And since I'm already in the mood of stating what should be clear - then I want you to know that I appreciate your contribution to this community.

Gandalf, do you mean the sticky thread named "Victorious Nations/Hall of Honor"?- Maybe this could work but the thread name should change to reflect the additional information regarding host. Also, If I were to update it, I don't think I'll be able to edit its first post anyway. In any case I think a new thread would be clearer.

Ich, I'm willing to keep such a thread updated. I suggest the procedure used by the MP hall of honor, meaning, hosts will post what game/s they're hosting (with links) and update whenever one of their games is over. I'll gather that information and post it in the following format:
host, # current games, # completed games
Current games list:
1. link 2 game1
2. link 2 game2
...
Messages from host:
Experiencing technical issues with server. All games are suspended.

Uhhhh no.
I mean the top sticky.
The one called "MP Servers list "

[thejeff]

The top sticky is whichever one was posted to last, at least under my forum settings.

Currently "Server Wishlist (command line options)"

I forgot about different view settings. The way I look at them its always at the top. Point taken. Anyway the one called "MP Servers list"
