Jaymod Ideas and suggestions

[djuki]

Hmmm I think it could be a lot more simple as you mentioned. just mail them a set of questions. Start of with 1 exam for all new members. here's an example.

question one.
- (map fueldum) An Axis player uses panzer to kill spawning allies in the garage at the allied command post. What would you do?
A. call him a freaking noob for using such a lame weapon.
B. kick him from the server because spawn killing is not allowed.
C. Do nothing because Spawnkilling is allowed with panzer because it a conquer bar spawn by blowing CP
D. Go on xfire an calling a high admin

Question 2
- You love TWC and you want more cmds. Because lvl are cool and kicking banning rulebreaking guests is the best way to keep TWC at the top of all ET servers.
A. Be active on the server and follow other high admins
B. Be active on server and forum and reply to as much topics you can
C. Just play at the server and visit the forum once in a while and slowly build up respect in the TWC community
D. be active ingame xfire and server and make sure you'll get noticed so high admins see what you are doing and give you higher admin lvl.


Question 3.
- There is a guy who you think is cheating. Whats the best thin you can do
A. Make a demo and post it at our forum
B. go on xfire and look for high admin to take a look
C. Ask for ban cmd so you can !ban his noob ass
D. !fi player and spec him, and ask others to check him out

Question 1, answer A should be scored IMO :d
Not bad idea anyway.

[led]

Maybe make the scoring (or evaluating) a bit more simpler?
I mean.. of course I can add 3 and 3 and 4 , but why not give 0 points for wrong answer, 1 point for an answer that is plausible and 2 for the perfect answer
For example, in question 2, I would give 1 point for answer A and 2 points for answer C (and 0 for others)

I just think it would be simpler to evaluate this way, but this current way is fine too


Oh, and I think it would be cool to add questions with multiple answers
Couldn't think of an example atm, but what do you think?

I like the way djuki is going to. The new players can look then how far they are and what they can do and not do. They will get more behaviour and then is playing on the server such more fun. After their behaviour they will get an higher level because they're doin much more right things then wrong.

I think some kind of interview after the 2-weeks-trial is a great idea. However we have to be careful as not to scare people away by making it too difficult to join us. I kinda like the idea of 3 questions that Djuki mentioned. Though I think it would be better to make this interview ingame, by directly asking the appliant in pm 3 easy questions (maybe even /autoscreenshot the answers, to proof it in case of doubt).

The 3 questions should not differ too much in my opinion. Maybe one regarding the procedure when catching a cheater ingame, another regarding the spawnkill areas in one random map, and the last question in respect of how to deal with a raging visitor who insults other players in the servers.

Of course that's just an example. Besides, we should not clear the exact questions at this place, because every visitor could read this and simply learn these questions/answers by heart.

And I don't think we need these kind of awards for each correct answer. This is not a school where you get a grade or something. The answer of the appliant should of course be more or less according to our views but not 100% like it's said in the rules topic. If the answers are complete nonsense the appliant has to face another interview the next day or week in order to join us.

That's just my suggestion, any critical remarks or alterations are more than welcome

Djuki's idea is good but imo storch's idea is better

[led]

Unlike exams, interviews are more open and leave more room for creative ideas
So I think interviews with 3 questions is good enough to know if a new-comer knows his stuff

I found some old voice files and have put together a 80 kb .pk3 with 4 sounds that don't pop up in the voice menu and can only be used in a certain way using the vsay command I won't say publicly. The sounds are for adminpurposes and only high admins may use them. E.g. "English in mainchat", "Keep the teams even"

Spamming them is not allowed of course. I can also script some standard binds that use these sounds, if people want me to. (Was thinking of a toggle rotation system to make sure the right sound is used)
Could also put them into enhancedmod and make !commands! with standard text for them, to prevent abuse by lower levels/guests when they find out the trick. (Disabling the vsay command, making personal binds not possible) Personally think this is the best option. Can't do this before the weekend though.

Would you guys like me to put it on the server / do something with it?

yeah this sounds great if implemented by an enhmod !command imo

[led]

Yea, that sounds cool


btw, I just wondered if it is still possible to change the greeting sound?
I remember that someone said it's even possible to use the scream when someone is hit by molo, is this correct?
