I've been concidering this, and after reading a few of the recent posts, I've decided to bring it up for discussion.

On our passworded nights, everyone has a good time and a good game, would it be possible, at all, to make every night a passworded night? Say from 3ish to 12ish?

Around 3 PM is when I see the most players on for the day and around 8-10 is where I see the most players on at night. This is a problem for us. We have admin on, and I know this, but admin can't always get everyone. There are a lot of things happening in game that are never reported and absolutely despised.

For this reason, I've wondered on bringing this up, and I have decided to.

Say we password from about 3PM central to 1AM central every night. Or till in the morning, whichever is more convenient. What would we be doing?

I've thought about this quite a bit and came up with the following answers.

Now remember:

Password from 3PM central to about midnight or so.

#1 - Removes "noobs".
No more bunnyhopping around or crashing unmanned helos into things, or etc etc.

#2 - Keeps TG together.
We all play at TG to play with our TG friends. Our server keeps at about 54 people normally with the password on it, making for a good game either way you go.

#3 - Everyone is happy.
Supporting members don't have any reason to complain, along with new people get a real "feel" for TG and what we're about. (And there will always be new people due to the #2 TG server.)

#4 - Cut down on "Squad Interruption".
I call it that because of what I heard last night. I heard a squad leader complain twice over squad members acting a fool in his squad.

#5 - Less vehicle torment and more skilled use.
A bomber and fighter controlling air traffic and ground movements makes for an extremely easier game, as opposed to a bomber flying as an attack jet and a fighter as the bomber due to less skilled people flying them. (I mean no offense to any pilots or future pilots in this post, but it's good common sense, and it's true.)

The list could continue forever.

Less stolen vehicles, less 2 person squads, less teamkills because someone stole a helo that you wanted to fly, less anti-air driving into hostile bases trying to take out infantry on the ground, less random bombs being dropped on friendly targets, less stupid orders from commanders with no mics, etc., etc., etc., etc.,.

You get the point, and I think that it's definately something to think about.

I don't think that it's right to shut out all the new players and people who aren't accustomed to our style of play, but I think that if people want this to happen, and agree with it, it should be tested and see if it is liked.

Instead of making password nights for our TG members and friends, make unpassworded nights for the non-TG members and friends.

Just my 2 cents.
