I just purchased the supporting membership about an hour ago and have recieved the confirmation from paypal.

How long does it take my account to gain access to the private servers and areas of the web site? Will I get an email or something confirming my status? Is there a FAQ that explains these questions? Am I going bald? What is my second grade teacher doing right....

Activation is immediate if you use a funded PayPal account or use a credit/debit card through PayPal. If you use any sort of e-check or ACH transfer PayPal does not send the "approval" info to our site until after the transaction is cleared. This usually takes about 5 days max to complete.

Our systems are fully automated, so once that approval comes through, your account is immediately activated. It looks like you're set for June 15th according to PayPal.

What are the benefits of being a supporting member? I can't find any info in the FAQ's or else where.

Apophis

We have reserved slots on our Counter-Strike Source and Natural Selection servers that are 100% automated. Public players are removed so Supporting Members can join up.

We have manually controlled reserved slots on our Battlefield 2 servers. You have the priviledge of asking an admin in TeamSpeak to boot a public player so you can join the server of your choice. We have pretty good admin coverage so it's a very easy process during the busy hours.

Supporting members can get e-mail addresses complete with WebMail access as well as some FTP/Web space to put up pictures, build a home page, or anything along those lines.

Supporting members also have access to the TG downloads area, so no waiting in line at FilePlanet or anyplace else when the new game patches come out.

We have private forums available only for Supporting Members as well.

And best of all, you get to help keep us online! Everything that Tactical Gamer offers is brought to you through the support of our members. Our growth and ability to support new games (like Battlefield 2) is attributed to our growing member base.

I might have missed something, but I'm sure all the other folks will chime in too!

Our Natural Selection and Counter-Strike servers (not yet BF2, but we'd like it one day) grants what we call "temp-admin" rights to supporting members. When no admin is present on the server, supporting members are granted basic rights to send server messages and kick players not conforming to well-established server rules. These temp admins are help to a high standard of accountability, but they do help keep the peace when admins are not present, as there are many of them.

Like the reserved slots on the NS and CSS servers, the temp admin rights are also automated on these servers. Once your reserved slot takes effect, so too do your temp admin rights.

Darkilla: In short, NS is pretty much really fast chess. With guns. Apophis: I haven't seen anyone say that SM's are better than non-SMs. Nordbomber: This is THE first server I've seen where either side can comeback from out of seemingly nowhere with the right teamwork. en4rcment: I have NEVER experienced the type of gameplay that I have found here. Nightly I am amazed at the personalities and gaming talent. Root: Welcome to TG. Feel free to punctuate your sentences correctly. Monkerz: Its gonna take all my skills to beat those boys off in the future.
