One time offer.

Post by Arklari »

Okay, since I will more than likely be giving in to Mit's demands, I'd like to nose around and see if anyone wants to help me with this world. i'll take highest 'donater' to help cover the costs of getting the world from mit. And I might host it if unless zar can. He said in a mail from before when i had an island that we had first dibs if we ever got a world/island/whatever the heck they're called nowadays :P.

Stats:
World Name: Zyric (can change)
Style: Econ/war. This is not open to discussion! :P At least for first world period
Priviledges you get if chosen: Owner Powers, unless I really can't trust you not to ban me and take over :P.


How to set up the request:

How much you'd help with cost: ( a %, or a set amount)
What experiance do you have with running a world? (When have you been an op, knight, ect)
Nickname?
Can I trust you?

Lez be honest, if you wanna help for at 10-20% then you got the spot unless someone else offers more :P.

Zar, Mit... Whoever.. Don't knock this :P. I won't be able to do everything myself with juggling between SWG (Awesome game) and here

yeah, and if the plan did work [which it won't :P] whoever pays a lot would want to have a bigger say then u [meaning they can vote to change anything] and whoever pays the most would have the owner privlileges shouldn't they :)

We'd both have owner privils, and no ones even applied! If no one offers to help pay i'll just choose the most worthy canidate as a sysop.

Not totally a bad idea, but you will not find many willing, most would prefer full ownership. and as far as i'm aware, mit hasn't made any demands :)

and who gets to host it? what if you disagree?

Pretty much this is a call for help, i'm going to donate that money.... Soon(TM) :P and i'm not going to have full time on it. So pretty much I want to own the first vers with little interferance, and if i want to i'll let someone else control the second version's gameplay (If you don't wanna donate but still wanna apply, go ahead just but down 0% or 0$ as how much your donating :P, any experiance you have with running a world, and any modelling/texturing skills you have) I pretty much just need to visit the bank to get the... "Routing Number"? or something. It may be a day, it may be a month, but i'll donate... eventually :P

i have a better idea :P

instead of sending money to ark so he can get a world when you can use that mnoney to buy one for yourself,
send the money to me so i can get a dedicated pc runing to host worlds on, then when you get a world, i can host it 24/7 for you :P sure, people could buy the pc themselves, but not all peioples parents will allow them to run a pc 24/7, and not all people have high speed connections.

Oh, and many ISPs don't allow hosting websites/dedicated servers.
I think it was Whirl20 who ran into this problem a few versions back.
