Thinking about things - Thrasher - 13-06-2021
hey guys
its been a while since ive been as active as i usually am here, i kinda lost interest in TWC servers (because inactivity) but also because i havent really felt like playing panzerwar either, i prefer trickjump to panzerwar.
Im a bit stoned as usual here
but lemme say smth ive learned about myself lately, im too godamned arrogant to demote myself without talking about it first. i made good friends and had good games and stuff but now those games are kinda in the past now :/i started playing on this et hide and seek server (hns.ovh:27963) which is owned by p4re and the community was active for a few weeks but then the server became really inactive (im assuming everybody who played there got bored of hide n seek and went back to trickjump) and i also started playing on other tj servers aswell (the active ones)
either way i think that if i leave, panzerwar will probably get closed down (since its kinda dead
) and i also have this inferiority complex from being a bullied kid that being a high admin in twc gave me a power in some way. that part of me isnt gone yet though until i talk about it which is what im doing here.so the real question: what do i do?
im probably an annoying supreme who does nothing at all right now and cuz im a nice supreme nobody can really get rid of me. i know i sound really arrogant but i mean it in a really honest sort of way. im happy to leave/make someone else a supreme of pw if they really want. maybe i shouldnt leave at all, just transfer to TJ or smth maybe
either way im not sure what i should do because in the future i cant really see myself going anywhere with TWC anymore. i love this clan since it got me through my childhood
and i love et for that too but theres not enough people here at a given time and ive found better servers to play on where theres more people.im sorry for feeling like im giving up hope here and also like i said im pretty high right now so if my text is incoherent then ripperoni pepperoni

Hey Thrasher, I don't really reply under any threads, but this one suprises me since I'm ex PW member
Not sure if you remember, but back in 2017 you used to be quiet here and then a year ago (summer 2018) you decided to take a break from PW as well, but you ended up transferring to ND, and later HS, and then coming from a HS supreme to PW where you got promoted to supreme again, so you ended up coming back to PW, because PW without you is not the PW.
About activity on servers, it's 2021 and most people quit ET because it's boring from time to time, and there are a lot of new games...
So, I would like to suggest before you are going to leave to re-think your decision, because as you said if you will leave PW then PW will be gone, and if you feeling like you don't want to be supreme you can just step down from the position and became an admin, or member, because PW still has some guests...however it's your decision but I'm just mentioning facts
You did a great job for PW during your time here, but I understand your feelings towards it, since I can say for myself that I don't like being in a dead clans.
PS: don't be shocked by my reply, I might be high also^^

Hey buddy,
I admire your honesty, thank you for letting us know about your situation. I understand your dilemma, and if you feel like playing other games you should do it. Closing PW is an option, I have been thinking about it for some time now. As much as I love PW, I simply don't have enough time to play on it.
My focus has been on Sniper and Beginners, it's sad to see PW empty, but it's not dead yet. Papounet is playing on daily basis, so I am not sure about closing it just yet.
If you decide to leave TWC, I won't be mad. I am very grateful for your time spent with us, and whatever you decide I'll honour your decision.
Best of luck

O'i m8 don't close PW. It's the last surviving jaymod server that is playable. Anyway is it just me or panzerwar server isn't visible on the server list for a while? Maybe thats one of the reasons why people don't visit as much anymore.
And Thrasher, why do you put so much pressure on yourself? Of course things are always changing and new interests are always around but im pretty sure there aren't 100 people waiting to take your place or judging you if you do something else at times..not nowadays for sure.
oh my god I just realized that people born when this game was launched in 2003 are turning 18 years old this year.. Our only target group now is nostalgic players and ET fanatics.. Of course I don't jack shit about server mechanisms but are twc servers compatible for older ET versions? I mean if someone downloads ET from some skechy website just for old times sake, it's probably version 2.55. So can they even play on our servers.. is that why I can't find PW with my 2.60 version?
RE: Thinking about things - Conqueror - 15-06-2021
Indeed, we should not close it. But we should close the membership. PW has only 1 active ha and that is beniu...he can join another server or something.
But it will be unnecessary to close PW. Peeps still playing sometimes
Anyway Thrasher you did a great job even though PW wasn't that active , but at least you tried. My respects and all of this stuff goes for you, and I repeat myself, you did a great job as supreme.
RE: Thinking about things - Thrasher - 15-06-2021
Hey guys thanks for the kind responses
@number thanks for the good post, i did indeed leave PW a few years ago for the exact same reason and ended up rejoining it, maybe if i transfer/leave (which im not so sure about anymore) i would after a few months get my energy back for it and come back to PW. however this time is a bit different because its already been like 4-6 months with having a break from PW and although i still play it from time to time, i still dont really think about playing it consistently enough. i feel bad about this because i know that if i was still playing it loads like before then the server would be 2-3x more active maybe more.
@ZonElax indeed it looks like closing PW might happen soon if i leave/transfer so ill ask a simple question, how much does that server cost to run? if its real cheap it might be no issue to keep it open but if its expensive then it might be a smart move (as bad as i feel to say this) but like you said the server isnt completely dead as papounet is still playing along with various long-time guests. also thanks for the kind words
@dynamite i will admit that in the recent times ive been really anxious about this whole ordeal (aswell as many other things) so im just trying to get it out of my head by making this post. i couldnt tell if people where getting mad at me with being so inactive on pw and honestly i (suprisingly :P) have standards for being a supreme and i feel like i have failed those standards. also i kinda know nothing about the older versions of ET since ive always played the latest version, i didnt even know about legacy until like 2 years ago and i have been playing for almost a decade :P
@oldskool well you see im pretty good at making silly decisions sometimes
im actually thinking about staying where i am if i can get away with it lol. good to see nobody here has hard feelings.. right?@conqueror if we closed the membership, would that involve me transfering or leaving aswell? i mean i would feel kinda ashamed to be a supreme who lost his memberbase but perhaps its for the better (most members are really inactive) and maybe i feel this way because im so used to the TWC rules and regularities with supremes having a memberbase.
either way i wont make any decision to change my position here atleast not now but if any of you guys have any ideas about my situation that absolutely feel free to post it here
any input is appreciated
RE: Thinking about things - Lo89LMan. - 17-06-2021
Hey man,
I'm sad to see that you're loosing your interest in the Panzerwar, but I also understand you because I lost it myself, as you know.
To be honest, I can't give you a better advise than do what you think is the best for you, and after it, convince you that it was the best ending (it avoid regrets, and that's really the worst things to live with).
And for the server, I know that my father (Papounet) will totally accept to pay for a certain part of the server cost, so in this way you Admins won't have to worry about cost-effectiveness of it (as long as the server will stay online).
And even if that's probably not a so good thing to do, the server can just keep living without a supreme, that's a sort of familial place for him, with his buddies, and he would be really (like extremely) sad if the server had to be shut down permanently.
Actually, I would like to purpose myself as the supreme, but I know I won't be active enough to make my job as it should be, so if there is really nobody who wants to take that place, and if the server require a supreme to its lead, contact me, but as a last resort.
Anyway, I wish you to be happy, no matter what will be your final decision. Have a great day / night, and hope to see you anytime soon

Hey man, sorry for the delay in response time, ive been really busy with work and its kinda really distracting me from everything here.
your father absolutely loves panzerwar, his interest in it has somehow managed to outlast mine :P because of that i wouldnt wanna leave PW without a supreme and risk shutting it down because like you said he would be very upset.
as a son of papounet, i wouldnt mind making you a supreme except that since my activity is kinda non-existent, i dont really know how active you are or anybody else is on the server.
however if papounet decides he wants to pay for the server himself, then well that kinda makes me wanna make him supreme with you aswell. problem is hes bad with english but he is a fun person to play with regardless
needless to say hes one of the the last active members. if both of you are supreme, you can be the translator while he can be the fun active player. i think thats pretty fair IMOand im absolutely ok with making you a supreme.
im a bit tight on time right now so ill discuss this later on but until then give it some thought
i would love for someone to take this pressure off me that i cant really commit to anymore and if that does happen, ill transfer to TJ because thats what i play on when i play ET usually :P
RE: Thinking about things - Poseidon - 25-06-2021
Hey guys,
I am soon back after work and I plan to return on Pw again
If you don't have any alternatives I will try to manage my activity in the near future. I'll be back next month already.
PS Thrasher you are just bored because you need some good opponents
I won't make you leave ET that easy
