If I was commish I would do this:<br /><br />1) Let CTF go quiet for a while, at least until next year when the summer starts so people are active again<br /><br /><br />2) Either consider Zan or ZD again, after what IDL players put the Oda devs through they want nothing to do with us and are glad to see us go; probably for the better:<br /><br />[u]ZANDRONUM PROS/CONS[/u]<br />[list]<br />[li]+ Unlagged is very stable[/li]<br />[li]+ Allows for full customization, essentially ZD 1.0x can be recreated excluding the renderer[/li]<br />[li]+ Active player base[/li]<br />[li]+ No enforced master ban list on private servers[/li]<br />[li]+ If I was allowed to make a .exe for IDL players, we would get: Perfect unlagged, better collision detection, ZD in zandronum (ex: sitrep/hud/whathaveyou), and zero bullshit random crap[/li]<br />[li]- Zan admins dislike competitive players, so I don&#039;t see too much support over there from anyone (basically I would be the dev catering to the IDL) which means custom binaries[/li]<br />[li]- Player base is fucking retarded[/li]<br />[li]- Unreliable, at least this season we had mostly reliable players, but if we fill up our bottom ranks with zan players while we lose the top... then what?[/li]<br />[/list]<br /><br />[u]ZDAEMON PROS/CONS[/u]<br /><br />[list]<br />[li]+ Everyone is familiar with ZD[/li]<br />[li]+ 1.09 now is now a lot better than the first release of 1.09[/li]<br />[li]+ SSG still feels nice[/li]<br />[li]+ May bring back old players who refuse to play on oda[/li]<br />[li]- Unlagged or whiffing is even worse than before, very frustrating now[/li]<br />[li]- A lot of active IDL players are banned from ZD[/li]<br />[li]- Would fill bottom ranks with laggy mexicans who don&#039;t speak english[/li]<br />[li]- No priv servers, I think 1.09 enforces the master banlist on private servers; I could be wrong since I never tried it, nor am I banned[/li]<br />[li]- Euros will have a difficult time playing[/li]<br />[li]- Possibly disallowing public posts or such for spreading the IDL (may result in bans, see Hatred in #zdplayers getting masterbanned for asking if the IDL still lives)[/li]<br />[li]- Ralphis would never get unbanned, others may stand a chance[/li]<br />[/list]<br /><br /><br />3) Get a preliminary list from EVERY player with the following checklist:<br />[ ] Would you play ZDaemon on american servers again?<br />[ ] Would you play Zandronum if ZDaemon did not happen?<br />[ ] Would you play Zandronum if it was modified to be like ZDaemon?<br /><br /><br />4) Decide on the above what to do<br /><br /><br /><br />The hardest part is getting a PHP/HTML developer to make the site. I can do the backend and stuff in Java or something, but I have no idea how to make a proper HTML/PHP website. Ladna is pretty amazing at what he did. Jenova is not someone we can bother with this because he&#039;s a pretty busy guy and most likely does not have the drive to undertake such an epic thing, especially since the future of the IDL is on shaky ground as we speak.<br /><br /><br />Dew will make an interesting commissioner, now that Bones has pretty much said &quot;fuck everything doom related&quot; (as we can see by stats not being done and his lack of care for the remains of the IDL) I don&#039;t see him running it again. I don&#039;t blame him since he was sort of inspired to run it again, but the drama involved just made him hate it.<br /><br /><br />If custom binaries are made for Zan, then the IDL better be fully committed to it because I don&#039;t want to waste a lot of my time making custom binaries if it just falls apart, I&#039;d need 2-4 weeks to make it fully functional.
