Kr3w Volunteering for admin

[kr3w]

It's been awhile since myself and the handful of others that play on the Ts Jump server have seen an admin, Nephi I believe was the last one i've seen last year.
I have been elected to apply for admin, and there's a few things we would like to get accomplished like getting new maps uploaded, organizing maplist, fixing tele's and sc's.

Quadz has told me to post this here, as a chance for people to voice their opinion on this decision.
I will contact some people and ask them to chirp in on the subject like asked.

Well... since i only play on Jump it would be nice to have an admin. Kr3w is like the most active player on the server and there is actually a lot of stuff that needs to be fixed like maps that are literally impossible and more...

approved

I admin for the german servers (ace).

He's active, seems nice, and we were planning on teaching him some of the adcom.cfg stuff so he can do a better job.

+1 from me.

I vouche for you dude, if it means something

Administration is a risky thing, especially online. The truth is, anyone can run or administrate a server, and anyone can vouch for someone without addressing any concerns one might have about the particular server they'd be handling. If you're running a serious network that wants to take care in what people you choose for this kind of thing, you're going to have to do a lot better than some arbitrary majority vote. There's a lot of trust you put in somebody when you choose to give them access to a particular part of a network you run. Activity and presentation mean nothing when talking about this.

Say you legitimately do want to help a server and are willing to do what it takes to maintain it properly. There are specific concerns that also should at least be addressed in one way or another.

• Have you agreed to and/or understand the basic guidelines/rules set by the head administrator?
• What do you feel the current administration has failed to do up until this point, and do you believe that you can do a better job at maintaining the server?
• Do you believe you can edit properties of the servers in a way that complies with a great majority of the servers playerbase?
• Do you believe you can make administrative decisions that will benefit the playerbase?
• What parts of the maplist do you believe needs to be organized, and how?

If there is anything else you believe should also be said about this, feel free to say it.

Hello and thank you for your quick reply and concern!
I will go down your list and answer as accurate as possible.

•Have you agreed to and/or understand the basic guidelines/rules set by the head administrator?

Yes, I do understand the rules and guidelines set by the head administrator.

•What do you feel the current administration has failed to do up until this point, and do you believe that you can do a better job at maintaining the server?

There is no current/active administration, so I would say they failed at being present but then again a lot of people who play q2 jump mod take breaks and have normal lives. Yes I am applying for admin BUT we (as in the only four other people) that play on the ts jump server have all agreed to make it better. We consider ourselves a whole over there since we've known each other so god knows how long.

•Do you believe you can edit properties of the servers in a way that complies with a great majority of the servers playerbase?

This is something I am willing to learn, and am a fast learner and will do whatever it takes to make positive decisions. Given the fact that there are only two regulars on the server, Myself and Cr33pz there is not much of a playerbase to be majorly concerned with.

•Do you believe you can make administrative decisions that will benefit the playerbase?

Yes.

•What parts of the maplist do you believe needs to be organized, and how?

On the ts jump mod maplist there are around 2,500 maps, When you search for maps they should be mostly organized alphabetically and if not they are very hard to find.

example: If I'm looking for a map I cannot remember the full name so I try to manually find it, you would type in console "Maplist A" or whichever letter your looking for then flip through those pages and maybe the map your looking for is Adrenjumps13 instead of 16.

the new maps uploaded recently all went to the back of the list, not organized and some scattered throughout.
Nevertheless that is a very small issue that a little extra effort in searching cannot fix.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I would like to conclude this by saying I respect your concern, the way you say it is as if I am apply for level 12 admin so I can access all sorts of things I am unfamiliar with and have no reason to have access to. We want the basic stuff we as jumpers need to keep the jump server a happy place. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the jump mod but tapping recall 500 times on a map with a backwards tele is not a fun chore and slows you down.

There are also many large (20 seconds or more) shortcuts that should be fixed, along with maps that have no possibility of beating or no gun.

Uploading maps that TS does not have that German does is a top priority, Not 100% if you need admin for this but this needs to be done.

So whatever admin lvl lets us do that, then that is what we need.

Best regards,

Judging by the positive feedback and him being the most active he seems like a decent choice.

Looking good; I'll see about adding an account this weekend with a sufficient level to make changes to maps.

Awesome!

Thank you guys for your positive outlook and confidence.

Admin account added.

(Also seemed like a good time to make a backup archive of the current state of all the jumpmod data.)
