How to wake up ?Go Base from the dead

[MaGi kOz]

i don't need to read the whole post, i already know it won't work. peak pop is around 210 if ur lucky (i check regularly to see if it hits 250 so i could enter)

unless we use the 5000$ of donations to get 1000 new newbies, stop trying to revive arenas. you still got that one kid thats trying hard as fuck to revive distension, whats his name? #itdoesntmatter

and it's cynical assholes like this that don't help for shit with anything but just sit there and bitch, bitch, bitch about shit they think they know about. Can you believe we have to accommodate for assholes like this?

i am helping, i'll get this zone a +1 in pop when it hits 250ish

face facts, unless 24/staff make good use of the 5000$ (NOT GOOGLE ADWORDS..), ur fucked with the same 200 players for next yr till it hits 0. after twl, it goes down even more.

i kno u dont do much for the zone but in the mean time, why don't you try and make yourself useful and stop Ease from using !buy sphere of seclusion every 30 seconds on newbies in pub so they don't quit after playing 5 minutes. i literally just saved the zone a little bit by telling you this. #thankmelater

Shut up draft. I had more to say, but I lost it trying to wade through that cesspool of retardation that you spewed. Just shut the fuck up

[Spikester]

good idea, i'd be up for playing some base games!

The idea of this is isn't just to get base alive for the older players, its to use the older players as an avenue for newer players to want to base more if they see it active. I know that the population won't be higher than 200 at times, and maybe you won't sign on, but there are people who will. The idea is to keep people's attention span to remain in this game longer than they usually do. By getting an arena active, maybe peak population increases by a small amount.

Not only are there older players that might be more active because base games are happening, but there are also newer players that can benefit from stuff like base becoming more legitimate. Whoever has been in base back in its hayday will remember the random players who come in and begged and pleaded to get in base, and was simply rejected because no one let them in. Many of these spectators were ones who became something in this game because of how interesting ?go base was and how happy they were to get into a base game with a bunch of veteran players. Thats what I want to aim for, thats the reason why I want ?go base to be active again.

I have seen a bunch of newer players who have become more active simply because they want to BD, after not knowing what a BD was a couple weeks ago. They insist we find a BD even when we'll lose 15-0 or they end up playing a terrible game. I know if not for TWD and Base I would have quit the game weeks after I started playing this game.

It may not be your monumental 250+ population you hope for, but using methods to attract one or two members is still an accomplishment for a dwindling population. On Tenure, of 10 players we recruit and introduce them to TWD, maybe only 3-4 of them will actually become an active part of our TW population. Though "putrid", I am really proud of this number.

I am rather saddened you think in such a closeminded way when there is something we can at least try to do something about this. Perhaps that is the attitude is one of main reasons that created this problem in the first place. Maybe having ?go base more active will turn 3 or 4 newer players into a more active player in the TW scene. If thats what happens, great, it is still a success.

[roxxkatt]

just because a few cancerous idiots are closeminded doesnt mean everyone is

[MaGi kOz]

I should get a bot to boot Draft from the zone when population goes over 250.

now onto someone serious, royst NONE of this is possible considering sunday is the only day people can show up (and even then sunday is hard as hell to schedule a game). this zone needs NEW players, not the 50 pubbers in pub that don't even know how to get to ?go base.

back when i really wanted to help this zone, i spammed, begged, helped those new players in pub get to ?go javduel/base. guess what? even after i gave em step by step instructions, they have almost no idea what to do. some are stuck in the arena "basenow" when i said type ?go base now, some won't get picked, some don't even know how to reply back in pm. i've said it tons of times before, the enter arena should be a TUTORIAL arena. not pub 0.

as for the older players.. you said you wanted to schedule the better/best players for a game? ok, start off by asking the best basing squad, dice. i would love to see the negative responses they give. not every player are going to be willing to come for a scheduled game. especially when theres only 200ish players, not all of them even being basers. all were doing is milking (other arenas will be dead if base is scheduled) what we got, we need NEW players installing this shit. i know when i said using the 5000$ to get 1000 new players is ridic, but cmon with 5000$ at least get us 100.

even though i believe what youre doing won't help jack shit, i would like you to prove me wrong

lol irl. i happen to enjoy drafts random twitter tags occasionally, however... this is just fucking funny!

I vote to re-automate go base. Fuck staff , we don't need them to start a game.

I dont think that'd be very helpful.

The reason for the disabling basebot from players to start a game is long since gone. From what I've gathered, this was done 4 or 5 years ago because a handful of people were abusing it. Obviously now that the population has dwindled to remain essentially only serious, devoted and new players, the bot should be returned to function as the team elim arena that is.
The way it's working now, newer basers capable of capping a team are unfamiliar with either using "?help" to request staff assistance to get a game going; basically the interference with staff is a bit daunting for people who are new to sstw, and it's really only serving the vet players, which, isn't at all bad because the games are competitive and these older players know pretty much what ship everyone can play but it is hindering the newer population of basers from having a shot and creating the new society of TWbase.
That staff is great at supporting games and fixing problems is an understatement. But lets keep it at that and give the arena usage back to players.

[the_paul]

Automating go base is what killed it

I rofl at this cause he needs staff to make the bot be self automated without a staffer setting up captains.

[Multipass]

That's impossible Paul because what made any basers today was automated base elim
