^That is kind of naive don't you think? Especially since you can't say the same for the other games which TG hosts. You should check out the WoW, and BF2142 servers and teamspeak servers for a start. If people only used TS in the tactical gamer server as much as they used it in the 2142 server on a daily basis (not including internal scrims, PW events, server scrims, special events etc, because as we all know everyone in their mother gets on TS for those).
Then I would I possibly entertain the idea that PR is the most popular server and has the most SM's, however even that might or might not hold water as an example of that is listed below.

Below statement is in regards to the above quote and the recent theme of this topic

Not to seem rash or mean, but charity is just conducting a poll to see who is a supporting member who plays PR and who isn't.

This is hardly the topic in my honest opinion to start talking about why there are not sufficient warnings letting players know who are not supporting members who play PR that they are going to be kicked next, or why there isn't a listing of the top 3 players who are next to be getting kicked, or why people who are squad leaders or commander's or flying helicopters, jets, driving armor assets etc shouldn't be kicked, or why there isn't a second server so the players who do get kicked can play with less of a chance of being kicked for a supporting member.

I am not trying to be mean towards non SM's, I was once a non-SM, it might be fair to say that all of us are or were non-SM's at some point or in the present at this time.

What I am trying to say is that this is just a public poll for some information that might be used to maybe see the percentage of players playing PR at any given time and then with that information dissect it to see which are SM's and which are not to further find out more information etc. Now possibly more polls might have to be conducted especially ones with game time hours of play, how many hours a week, etc, but it is a noble idea on Charity's part to start this type of Poll. As it was TMan's idea to start writing some articles about PR players @ TG and in general.

I have been in a squad with many players here at TG who are SM's and non-SM's, and I hold no favoritism between the two.

The Tactical Gamer Community gives the option to registered members to donate either a monthly or yearly payment which allows those registered members who donate a chance to cut the "line" and allow them first-class access to "ALL" servers which TG hosts.

Lets not take away from the original topic that this thread is about, it is just a yes or no poll to see who are supporting members who play PR and who are not, there is no reason why politics surrounding the idea notices and warnings of players being kicked or next in line, or why you shouldn't be kicked if you are flying or squad leading, should be included.

Once again I don't mean to come off as a p**ck or rash, but those topics are meant for another topic or if you really want a straight to the bone answer PM one of the high admins.


**TS usage, or mumble usage for that matter doesn't have to do anything in regards to supporting membership, however i was only trying to convey the point in regards to server population and the relation it has with registered users, though that can also have its own discrepancies because registered users in game are not always on TS or mumble.

hey, I like the SM kick. I wouldn't be a SM without it. I realize there are many reasons why the server is better the nothers. But frankly I just like to get in when i want to.

I'm not at all advocating its removal or anything (nor do you imply that i'm implying as much however), just want that to be clear.

Python... Mmm, I've done some editing there (for Mount & Blade) so I may give it a look, though as boogy states, I wouldn't mind the basis of the code to work from.
