Sad to say but I have had enough of late restarts and servers that dont unfreeze...same BS every round....too bad cuz zaraz ia a great game...admin if you really want 1000 players you should treat your players like customers and the game like a business.
You cant put customers and business together with zero cost. I know this is s**t having to wait around, and if I was paying for the priviledge I would be oiling up my gun, but we aren't customers, we're freeloaders, enjoying someone elses endeveaurs without paying them a penny/cent. Nothing for nothing is a pretty fair equation, just a crap one too.
lol...i wonder where you got that mindset skidoo. hehehehe.

well if admin cared enough to set up the advanced server, im sure the relationships he had with the players would have been good enough, not to mention the game being good enough, so that we would be paying him. I wouldnt have a problem with it, anyway. But he cant do it if he keeps this up

macleod: sorry to see you go, but to be honest, there is absolutely no way I can treat players as customers and this game as a business. I'm trying my best to restart/unfreeze on time, but sometimes it's just not possible.
you should stop complaining about what admin does. he does this as a service for us. we don't pay him, most of the time we dont even thank him. so archon, if you want to have precise start times and flawless service, go make your own damn game.
ya thanks for pointing me out cockmonger. i guess you didnt just see me talking about donations. I have no problem paying and as far as precise start times, i dont care so much about that as taking a quarter of the round. So piss off and next time dont talk unless someone says something to you.
then pay the damn man. i dont see any cash comin out of your account. how much you gonna give him? 10 bucks? GEM is doin us a god damn service. he has spent hours of his time workin his tail off for this game just so some two-bit 17 year old can try to tell him how to do his hobby. as i have said, if you want a perfect game, you make it.
as i have said, dont speak unless spoken to. you are such a hypocrit, im ready and willing to pay and of course on my own i will make little to no difference. What are you willing to do? get mad at me for being mad that 25% of the round was wasted? And besides that, im not even mad i was just in a pissy mood at the time. You are just bringing it back up, i already apologized to admin. By the way im 18, and I think you need to grow up. Admin can defend himself anyway, hes a big boy.
and as far as the cash goes, i cant find the paypal link but as soon as i do I guarantee i will start making donations. I do appreciate what GEM does, gives us an alternative to a good game (ominix) and makes it great. Im ready to show some appreciation, anyone else?
i'm the hypocrite? how so? i'm not willing to pay and hence, im not going to complain to the admin because he doesn't have the time to be precisely on time always. however, you say that you appreciate what he does, yet you're probably the one person on this game currently who is most vehemently making this delay a big deal. you wanna pay? go right ahead. give your 10 or 20 bucks or whatever to GEM. but that still doesn't give you the right to nitpick on a charity.
you're missing the point again, I know your smarter than this cb. One more time: I was in a pissy mood, i have already apologized about it to admin, i never did mind about admin bein late, i was always just anxious. I was upset about 25% of the round being gone. Im not trying to buy a right to b**ch at admin, im trying just simply to donate to something that is fun. Forget about the late server, late unfreeze, i was a bastard about that for reaasons i dont even really know, just look at the situation as it is now. I want to donate, i want others to donate, it doesnt matter how much it is, and actually i had intentions of giving GEM more than 20 bux. But the biggest difference will come from a collective effort, no matter how much I give personally. So just get past your bigotry over one mistake i made when i let my temper slip, and let it go.

well, what is think is: if somebody cant make the things go right, dont need to make them at all, people put their hopes in it.
But in case if Admin really cares, why not to make:
1) moderators who would make restarts or automated script for restarts and ufreezes.
2) ask people who can make scripts in PHP and other s**t to help Admin (e.g. Link007 made the same game if somebody remembers, i guess he understands scripts and stuff, right? and he is not the only one who does)
He doesnt make it, he doesnt care.. i mean he cares, he just likes this game coz ominix is the only one he plays.. and he prefers to have this place of God, making restarts whenever he wants etc etc etc.
I just wonder, would you be happy to wake up one day and see 1000 players logged in?
Do something for people and people will return it to you. good or bad.

A point he does have. But I think the only one admin trusts with the game coding, and even then only the testing of it, is Syn-ackal. Maybe aresenic, don't remember.
hehehehe.
he just likes it.. that's why he still restarts it sometimes.
