I am willing to host some ig events.
Guess as a guard I can host a couple IC events. And perhaps with admin permission some ooc kind of events aswell.

Please inform me with the times you are able to attend those events.
Please include your timezone aswell.

I can try to host events every week, keep in mind I work in a 2 shift.
Meaning that I will look for 2 periods of time where most people will be able to attend them. Then one week they will be hosted in time period A.  The other week in time period B.

So inform me how late you are able to attend events. Please include your timezone.

Ig Name:
Prefered times:
My timezone:

I'll always stand by the fact that you don't need admins to provide roleplay for you. Furthermore, like you stated previously, school has started again and players will have lost motivation to spend hours on end playing games rather than doing school work.

Any IC event requires administration in the middle, in case we need anything like revive or some hacker came in the middle etc. Though I didn't say that we need admin to provide roleplay for me, read it once again better, I said increase the IC events that can not be done by players like Community Service. Anyways that wasn't the objective of this post, my objective is another and it's all explained above.

I guess it was pretty cool for most of us that the IP was moved to a closer country and the ping is improved of course... though, it had it's bad and negative effects as well... it caused some damage in the playerbase solid shape, we usually had at least 15-16 and t was decreased to at least 10 players (School  and college), but now we maximumly hit 6-7 after the IP imigration....

So I have some solutions that I'm suggesting the server to do, also feel free to post more solutions that can help to fix this damage.


- Change the IP of the server and fix the bug of he name
- Make new advertisement on SAMP forums, with decent screens and a decent video including all server features, roleplay, scriptwise etc.
- Allow players to AFK normally In-Game (Just for now), because if I'm a new player to a certain server and I see from the samp box (0/50 Online) I wouldn't even bother logging, so somehow numbers attract new players.

(Admins going to be mad about people AFK 24/7 and gaining respect points etc, well simple solution, make it scriptwise that a counter activates whenever a player goes AFK and when this counter arrives at 10 minutes, the paycheck stops so player won't receive any paycheck until he's back).

- Increase the amount of the IC events with specific dates and time, encouraging players to attend them and also to give some interest in our servers to the new players who maybe just joined by coincidence and joined the event. (Like, community service, boxing tournament, rap battles.. etc).


I posted this in General Discussion because I saw it more discussable than a suggestion... so I want to hear your opinions about what I wrote, also you can post other solutions that the staff team may see fit...
