Quote from: Jabbs;251508No problem, thanks.  I was misunderstanding your earlier reply (see the cut down version below) re asking the Section head but of course secondary games (Insurgency for example) don't have a Section head. One could assume that this would be Whitey's domain I guess but we all know what assuming means don't we? ASS U ME :D

Ahh. I can see now how my answer was confusing - 'Ask the Section Head' - yeah but which one? :D

If the game has obvious links i.e. a mod of an existing supported game then it's the SH of that game that needs to be approached.

I wish we never started this :D

LOL.

If I recall correctly at the meeting we had at the LAN, we felt that all supported games would most likely fall into one of the three existing categories:

First Person Shooters (Whitey/Armitage)
Driving (Doors)
WoW or similar MMORPG (Sheepy)

The idea is that we have a template for each of those categories. IIRC, the thought was that any newly adopted games would probably fall under one of the above and therefore under the aegis of that relevant Section Head.

There are a couple of omissions but we can cross that bridge when we come to it (such as if a RTS game e.g. C&C and flight/other Sims for instance became widely adopted).

That's from memory (the minutes are at the office) and I've had a wee Talisker so may be a little off the mark but hey ho I'm sure someone will be along shortly to pick up the pieces if I'm wrong... :)

12 pounds is a great "bang4buck"; this community provides a great home for gamers of all sorts (and ages ;-) ). personally, I try to contribute more per year, but naturally this depends on the abilities of each member.
 
however, the de-tagging is somewhat strange: if a member playing CSS buys COD4 and joins our server, should he remove the tag? in my case, I guess someone will recognize me, due to my superb name, but other names? other players? (btw, I always wonder who the "blunt" playing on other UK servers, mainly UKCS, is...)

You can only wear a tag if you are playing a game where you have been awarded the badge for it.

Got the CS badge? You can wear the CS tag in game.
Not got the CoD4 badge? You must *not* wear the CoD4 tag in game even if you have a CS badge.

I know; that's what I thought may be strange for some.
 
IMHO, if you are worthy of one, you are worthy of all. I can't see a DMWer of COD going rogue in CSS and start frag hunting, for example. Or crashing cars on purpose in a race. Those who are part of our community, have proven their behaviour, and have chosen us due to the same demand to bahave as such. After all, it's not the skill, it's the atitude.
