Civilian Administrators - Re-Shuffling in two weeks

FSgt. A. Switz [3rd MAR] — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:13:18 +0000

We will be re-shuffling our Civilian Administrators from this VIP group (who gets it and what admin levels they have) in two weeks. We are looking to fill 4 slots. 5 at most.

Some current admins will carry over, some will lose it to more active players.

Please be sure to read about Civilian Administrator's rules and guidlines (as well as a tutorial on how to use your admin) if by chance you end up getting selected as getting access.

- Only VIP's, Marines and Recruits are allowed. All other non-military personell may not enter -

1300 Saturday or 1300 Sunday (EST Timezone) for Map Test? Post here

I was hoping to see enough of you on, along with our Marines and Recruits, to Beta Test our newest large scale mapping project; 3MAR_Pachendeale_Reflux. I would be extremly grateful to see 20 of us there to get an adequate and thorough test completed before we realease the map publicly the week after so I can fix any minor errors that still remain or tweak things for gameplay.

The test will take appx 1.5 hours.

Pachendeale_Reflux promises to be the PREMIRE map of WW1 Source until 2.0 releases. Containing the most hihly detailed city and realistic trench systems to date, PR (short name for it) will encompase the best of two worlds by offering not just vastly upgraded graphics and level design, but also a new "helper" function to allow admins to change from skirmish, realism and city defense game modes quickly and easily with the click of a button after the script is initiated. Althgough thefunction will not be able to stop ramboers running off towards the enemy before live is called, but it will keep them out of places they are not supposed to be.

Another interesting addition will be the use of mounted artillery. PR will intorudusce large scale bombardments from several cannon firing at once via a radio. Each barrage has a cool down period so be sure to time your artillery strikes wisely to devestating effect.

And finally, if this is not enough, PR is littered with more artillery holes than a Dalmation has dots. As requested.

Playtesting newest 3rd Marine map soon, Paschendeale - FULL SIZE

***VIP's, Marines and Recruits ONLY***

I hope to be able to have a playtest in two weeks on the newest 3rd Marines map. It doesnt have a name yet but it is based off the movie Paschendael. During the playtest, dont expect a bunch of detail yet, mainly looking for balance and performance. Its a very large map (Bunker size) and intoduces the new trench system you see in the 2.0 images of the Somme.

With this map I wanted to combine the best of two worlds by making it not just a great map for realisms, but also to become our new City Defense map. The city of Paschendaele is heavily destroyed save for a few structures left standing. Immediatly across the bridge from the city is the Allied trench which is a weak stronghold compared to the Germans higher elevated position. Across the vast no man's land sits two massive German trench systems (one elevated and one ground level) that will be a garuntee tough cookie to crack for the Allies attacking.

It's wet, its cold, it's raining...its Paschendeale!

New one

Reminder - End of Quarter, Re-picking Civilian Admins at end of Week

FSgt. A. Switz [3rd MAR] — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:09:57 +0000

Reminder to you guys, we will be repicking civilian admins for the server. This is done at the beggining of every new quarter so that we better our chances of having an active civilian MP and give other VIP's chances to earn it in turn because we only offer so many slots.

Civilian MP's are chosen from the VIP list. The main thing that is looked at is playing time. Do not expect admin if you only had 30 hours logged on our server this past quarter and another VIP logged 80. You just wont get it Im afraid. The second thing that is looked into is your behavior in the server which I can already tell you we have never had any problems with any of you to date so thats not an issue, so this falls on playing time.

DEFEND THE HOUSE PRIZE COMPETITION NOW1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
