Topic: KCW Start Date

[Bonk]

Some want to start, some do not... lets do this democratically. I'll decide based on the numbers for this poll at 7PM EST tonight.

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

Voted for 1 week, if they haven't gotten it together by then by all means launch, I'm sure origional draft list are available before any trades, so I'd say use those and assign people from second draft thread to the houses randomly or to fill the spots of any who are no longer able to make the server.  That way we at least keep some of the feeling of a draft.

Exactly this way would be acceptable to me. Otherwise, postpone indefinitely to wait on tracey and Hooch and whoever. Even so, starting in less than 2 weeks is unnacceptable for me. I'll pass the baton to Kroma and he can pick a #2 if you start any sooner.

[el-Karnak]

This dyna is a bust. Move onto the next one.


PREFERABLY ONE THAT ACTUALLY HAS THE GOD-DAMN #*(#(*# ISC IN IT!!!!!!!!

Shall I put it together or do you want to do it?  Seriously, you wanna?  If not:

Fine then, to heck with any schedule or DIP type crap, SFB-OP it is, on the Classic War map, similar settings to KCW. Standard alliances.

Stock, EEK2.1, latest ED and TraceyG missions (double fighters, too bad - we always managed before... and on SFB-OP it's double evil... muahaahaha! - there's proper froggies too...)

I'll put together the server, installer and webmap this weekend - I'll start tonight.  Play it or not, I always have fun on that shiplist myself!

[KBF-Kurok]

hehe  LOL at Karnak + karma for you and yes we need to get something going NOW!!!!!! 

[Dizzy]

Ya, we have gone too long w/o a serious server...

[el-Karnak]

Shall I put it together or do you want to do it?  Seriously, you wanna?  If not:

I can make the map. I already got the rule set.  I can supply the missions. You could host it with the webmap.

Any mission that dbl-fighter bugs in O-U-T.  There was no leeway given to dbl-fighter bugged missions for GW3, so I am not about to be less tolerant even though I normally would. But, the "I-am-an-hard-assed" mission stickler precedent was set in GW3, so we go with that.  Any bugged missions are out. We do our best to make this dyna techie smooth.

I'm with Chuut.  Give it a week for advertisement, then kick it off with the existing draft lists.  The heads of houses can run a second draft during that week as well to make sure everyone is involved that wants to be.

I am so sorry, but I regret to inform you that KCW had their chance and it aint happening. 

We are moving onto the next dyna with frogs in it now.

Doesn't change my vote, or my desires.    I've been looking forward to KCW too long to wanna ditch it.  It's a cool server idea.

too long is the operative phrase here.

I really don't have a problem with people wanting to do dynas even though they may not know the dyna server kit yet. But, I do have a problem with dyna admins. that habitually announce them way before they are ready. That's just plain dumb. You wanna host a dyna then make sure that you can put up a test server within a couple weeks before announcing it; otherwise, no one wants to hear about it and then get jerked around.  If there are RL issues happening then just come forward and PUBLICLY postpone it indefinitely, so that other admins. that are ready to host a dyna are not waiting on a pipe dream.  This clueless situation with KCW is not good. Even if Bonk ran it now, then Hooch may want to run the "real" KCW later.  Like I said, enough of the dithering.  Hooch is NOT HERE, and he's made no public posts about the state of KCW, so this dyna is busted. 

It's all about common courtesy and respect, IMHO.

Well that would be GW4. No frogs, just Romulan toadies.

[Dizzy]

I cant remember the last time there was a good ISC presence. I cant remember the last time I had a good ISC match... Perhaps it was back on AOTK... That was over a year ago, wasnt it?

Be nice to line one up b4 G4 starts. I'd like to get SG4 going, but with all these server delays I dont see it materializing this year at all. ::sniff::

Ya shoulda logged onto Squadron Commander!    They had some of the best tools on the map.

[Doomstone]

Not voting til I get some answers... as previously posted, how long is KCW supposed to run? This is a big issue considering the timetable for house leadership challenges.

IIRC the current ruleset allows only 1 leadership challenge during the first 2 weeks, and only one per week after that. This is cowardly, unrealistic, and unacceptable. Any Klingon worth his salt will feel duty-bound to challenge for leadership. Accomodations must be made to allow all pilots a fair challenge. 3 challenges per day would be reasonable.

Last we heard from Hooch it was being reworked. Any update?

No answers, no updates, no challenges, no pilots. Next!

Walks away from the ISC-nerfing corpses of GW4.

*twirls smoking DL44 Blaster back into holster*

Situation solved.

ISC nerfers are now Enemies of the Dyna-State!!!

STFU, Dizzy. We are doing it now!! Move yer butt and launch it now!!

IT'S FROGGY TIME!!!!!!!! 

IT"S PACIFICATION TIMES!!!!

IT"S HAPPY, HAPPY TIME!!!!!!!!

Tastes great and less filling too. 

We are having an ISC playable dyna now!!

Anyone that gets in the way is gonna get fried...er, I mean "pacified". BBQed with lotsa ketchup and chili sauce too.

No more graft, no more corruption in the alpha quadrant. Just pure unadulteralted evil "pacifying" and BBQing and some good 0ol'fashioned Gorno stomping in Middle Era.  Oooh!! I can't wait to see them whining on the forums about our middle-era ships again.

Wait!! Gorns are allied with ISC in ISC Inv. Oh well, we stomp them later!!

We are gonna pacify Earth, and then we are gonna pacify Mars and then Saturn and Hydrax-farting-place, and Lyra-dumpster and Kzin-McDonalds/Dunkin Donuts place, and Orion and Tholia and Andro place and Andor and Tellar and then we are going to go to Disney World!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
