Hey guys, now that I got my dedicated server set up, I was wondering, if it's all right if I can set up gatherings with my clan, and advertise it here the day before the gathering, sorta like how the MAW~ does. I know the MAW~ has gatherings on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays, so I was wondering if it's all right if my clan "{LP}", can host public gatherings on the days the MAW~ server doesn't host one.

I'm not sure if my new idea of another public gathering in the Maw forums will be a good idea, so speak your opinion honestly. I want to make sure people actually want another gathering before I start acting like a retard and immediately advertising one. xD

So, is it a "yes" or a "no"? Only vote "yes" if you also mean you're going to join it somedays, because I don't want everyone voting yes and end up with a gathering with like no one in the server...

P.S. Would I need permission from Igg to host my own clan/public gatherings in here?

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I like the idea. Especially since the TUI server is on CE most of the time now.

Why would you need Igg's permission?

I don't know, guess I'm scared of the fact that everyone won't like my idea...xD

After all, just type HMC, TUI or MAW in one of the threads here, and Maw forum-goers will immediately recognize that they are Maw's top3 recognized clans. Say {LP}, and everyone will immediately think Linkin Park...not my clan. xD

Yepp, that's why I gave you a choice of "No" as well...xD

But hopefully my cable connection would do us some good...

Haha ok. But I need at least 15+ Yes's before I decide to set it up or not. 4 people wanting it is not enough...

I hold the Gatherings on Tues and Sat now. Now I haven't been able to attend as much but I get the feeling that its not as popular as it was. So another Gathering like I do would probably be redundant. In addition, even a premium home cable connection will only support 8-10 players before it starts to be too much lag.

What we might want to think of is something different to do. Maybe like a fight night where we match two similarly skilled opponents in a 1v1 dual. Like we put X[IGN] up against Nessy or me against <TUI> Obi-Wan. Maybe we have someone record with flycam and make a highlight video.

Throw some ideas out and see what we come up with.

There was a thread in the Septagon where someone had said that the Bungie community wasn't what it was back before Halo and it had lost its goodness. There were several great responses but the best was one of the ninja's Anton. He basically laid out that basically after Halo the community exploded. You have maybe a half-dozen guys responsible for the community and you have half-million community members. They can't do everything for you. The community has to come up with ways to improve the community. This is what I have tried to do here in the MAW, by having a get together every week so we can play together and share experiences. The point I'm making can be summed up in a few famous quotes:

"Ask not what Bungie can do for the community, but rather ask what you can do for the Bungie community."

"Evil breeds when good community members do nothing."

"God helps those that help themselves."


So everybody needs to think of ways and maybe volunteer time and resources to come up with ways to make the MAW a better place.

Definitely not for gatherings. Or maybe we could use your server for gatherings, and use Iggwilv's reserved for KWs, 1v1s, etc. or maybe vice versa.

Yeah gatherings are often either completely empty, too full, or have like 2 random people sitting around in them, with 1 afk and one who quits...

How about a gathering dedicated to totally retarded, hilarious gametypes. Like 4-ball Wizard Rocket Oddball. Or Infinity Plasma Party. Or Damnation Assault, with 30 second time limit to capture. Or Infinity Snipers, only vehicles are Banshees. Or Rifles Only Death Island. My fertile imagination is your servant.

I wouldn't mind volunteering for a test of your server. Why test? Have you tested it before? If not, we should join and test to see how many people is the limit before you start warping as if you had 56k.

Just tell me when.
:P

I vote for an EU server! ;D

I've got 4 US ones running, guess I'll ditch that machine and look to the EU.

I do not like the idea of using someone's CLAN server to merely do 1v1's and KW's, and shove the server under the rug when the cool occasions pop up. I would definitely be insulted when I find out everyone just "borrows" my clan server for 1v1s. I want to do my part of being a good Maw citizen and offer hosting my DS for external maw Gatherings, but 1v1 and kw's are all you people think of, JUST because it's home-ported. Heck, I'm insulted already.

Haha, you'll be my right hand partner in our server testing experiment. xD Let's see how many noobs it takes for the server to go berserk and give everyone 150+ ping. xP

Well anyway, if I sort an EU server out, perhaps we can hold some in there, and some in the US MAW one.

I just get frustrated trying to fight with a 250ms ping, and I probably speak for most of the EU players when I say that.
