We need a good server!

With all the races!

It's got to be fast paced, mean and lean.

Who's got one?

Too many rules can and will spoil the fun on a rules heavy server. ;)

Agreed, rules need to be simple and easy to understand.   They are a needed evil.

How about this..

Recruiting for the Dyna takes place in the forum in 2 story based threads - 1: Forces of light  -2: Forces of darkness. Develope the personalities and hierarchy on the threads.
 A fast moving, hex grabbing set up with 2 home planets and a five stage base defense for each side, that increases in DV value as u get closer to the opponents home world, which will have the highest DV.. the idea will be to take the bases in assending order and then the home world and maintain a supply line that runs from all the bases to the homeworld..when the supply line is cut , it will need to be reestablished before any attacks elswhere on it, can proceed.

Just an idea

Capt Jeff wrote the best set of rulz for the D2.  They went through sometimes up and sometimes down modifications during J'inn's GW series (personally, I liked GW 1's rulset the best).

I don't think we have the numbers for an all races server.  Whatever side turns out will win it especially if we are talking a total war scenario.  We saw this in KCW.  Not all the houses had the same turnout by a long shot and some with nearly none.  Time for some new thinking.  Smacking up on the AI ain't cutting it anymore.

That would be a no. Those are the standard SFC2.Net/CW rules that served us very well for years. I like them just fine. They cover the basics - play nice, that is all that is needed. In particular, note the absence of a disengagement rule.  :P

Ya'll need to stfu. U remind me of the naivety of cindy sheehan.

W/o my kinda rulz u got BB's and DN's all winging together, u got multiple groups of droners (edit spelling) flying together. U got players rebuying a BB right after u killed it... Its stupid. Servers like that are called cheese servers and the fun falls off after week one and it turns into a ghost town. Been there seen it. A heavily ruled server is the only way to go for a long term server that will see the playerbase thru to the end... providing it doesnt turn into a blow out because of numbers.

And you last about 2 hours on the last heavily ruled server  :P

I agree with Bonk and Green,  Capt Jeff's rules for SSI & SSII  were the best set I can remember.  Gw1 was the second best.

Ur living in a dream world, chuut. Peeps cant be trusted to police themselves fair and equitably on a server anymore. They will cheese it to hell and most of us quit servers like that. The reverse isnt the same. Cheesers will find a way thru the rules to cheese as much as they can, but they still play. But it keeps the non cheesres happy and they play too. Everyones happy.

But dont mistake my rulz set for that laywer esqued up KCW rules set from hell. No one needs THAT many rules.

Um, you guys realize your'e arguing about something that doesn't exist yet, right?

I sense Kroma's pressence . . .

Rulle are a needed evil, but with a wee bit of luck, we'll have the technical ability to use less soon.  Example, the disengament rull can go bye-bye now that Bonk has figured out how to se PvP to give a multiple DV shift.

With SQL (we are getting close) no OOB is needed.   Hell, I don't think OOB is need either as long as fleeting rules exist (what can fly with what) that keep the ridiculous fleets to a minimum.

Keep the political metaphors out of it or you are likely to get an earful from me.  Your egomania would tip anyone to your political leanings.  No need to broadcast your ignorance.  We are all well aware.
