Hey guys, i wonder if this option could be added while there's no admins around.

We all know that players like me (playing often) don't see admins online that much.

And driving with gm closed is one of the best challenging part for us, that's what makes SKC different from many servers and makes it best.

I had this idea today in most wanted event. Tack, Smar and me were complaining for the entire mw about rammers.

Sometimes i think that some people are making a mistake and joining race server instead of DD server :D

I know i am still a trial member and maybe i could handle these situations in future if i could get accepted.

But driving gm closed and sometimes seeing our names on top8 is one of the main fun of racing for guys who aren't top drivers like me.

I'm aware that, driving gm closed is open to mistakes, and i've made plenty of them i think. But there should be a relief for us who play quite often.

To prevent bad use, voting could be open to skc and followers.

With this option, the fun goes on, and players can choose DD server...

(We could send them directly to DD server too :) )

Hey! I would say it is a bad idea, but not the worst.
Imagine if you were only a beginner in race and you couldn't speak English, didn't even understand what F2 is for. I guess you would be kinda surprised if you were transferred from one second to the next to the DD server. I'm not sure you would ever come back to Race, after what they "did" to you. Anyway, I think it is aggressive, a bit.
THO, in my opinion, making a poll to vote GM for that exact player would be friendlier. I'm certain this isn't the first thread about this, and not even the newest ideas.

Oh, forcing someone's GM would be the best i suppose then. Sending to DD idea was kind of a joke, but kicking is like a warning.

Since i could be considered as a new player, compared to many others, just sharing my opinions.

Kicking is like a warning generally. And i don't think anyone wouldn't understand "F2" button = Ghost Mode = No hits words. Or misunderstand completely.

If he doesn't that, a vote can be opened. Or, a vote for forcing someone's GM could be the best option.

Thanks for the idea.

Certainly not a bad idea. The only issue is that it needs to be scripted. Our scripters are focusing on a big project right now (can't tell you what yet), which means there's not really any time to add stuff like this to the server. At least not at this moment.

Should be a smaller script compared to big ideas. Can't wait to see. Hope it will rock the mta community.. :D

Generally people tend to combine different types of servers into a big one server and adding different modes. Hopefully it is better than that :D

And another idea, GM forced on ping levet could be lowered as well. Because if your ping is over 100, you don't see the cars next to you good enough and hit them. And this could become related to the how many people on the server. (Trying to get inside of the scripters' heads :D )

For example; if there are less than 10 people on the server ping level for forced GM on could remain the same as now. But if there is a crowd, it could be lowered to 100. If there's a person with 100 ping and there are less people chance to hit to another car is not that much since there're enough space for 10 cars. But if the server is crowded there won't be enough space and with the touch of 2 cars, others will follow and would kill the fun at some point for some people..

Anyway, i'm happy that i opened this topic so that we found some new ideas.

I wonder now which language you're using to code these things. Could learn that and improve myself, and maybe i can help in future.

Thanks!

Edit : In the meantime, you could just change the joining rule. When people enter the server, they automatically join with GM closed. If those kind of people, who isn't experienced about racing or server, joins ; it is best to welcome them with GM on i believe. Experienced people can still close their GM.

We've at SKC already had similar ideas Cypher, but they're all on hold since the few scripters we have are busy on that major upgrade. Hopefully, we'll sort the admining without admins soon and it'll be all much easier to race. That being said, we all have to be superpatient about newbies, bcoz they just don't understand our everyday dynamics, they simply need a bit more time.

So browsing porn with 30 10 year old children is legendary in your opinion?

Whatever floats your boat. It may be cypher's second best idea.
