Are you running a server? Do you need to let people know what's on the jiggy-jaw with your server? Running new maps? Install a new something or other? Spill coffee on the bastard so it'll be offline while you clean the sugar crystals off the CPU?
this is where you can do it. Please direct ANY AND ALL pertinent Server info to this thread, for central reading purposes. This includes (but is not limited to):
- Bans being placed (and why, for other admins who might care)
- Bans being lifted
- Additions to the map rotation
- subtractions from the map rotations
- important software/hardware changes to server
- important connection info changes to the server (changing max players, changing IP, etc)
- expected/unexpected downtime and subsequent uptime
ONLY SERVER ADMINS MAY POST IN THIS THREAD. ANY OTHER POSTS WILL BE DELETED. PERIOD.

1. NO CHEATS! You will be banned permanently!
2. No bug exploits. (For example, no use of the wallhack, for any reason.)
3. No spawn killing.
4. No suiciding to kill a team's spawns.
5. No giving away player's locations or other information as a spectator.
6. No trash talking. Be respectful of other players.
Other than that anything goes and have fun!

these so far include:
Aquatone-Patch,
Thieve's Den,
ToB-Sword Arena,
Archery,
King of the Desert,

Same guidelines apply on Mog's
Please note that Mog's is not 24/7, and is normally up 'out of working hours' UK time:
19:00 to 08:00 GMT, and all weekend
For the time being, I only have the 'official' 1.2 maps in my rotation, so anybody can join and play.
As and when downloading is enabled, I may change this.
Mog's is a UK based server!! (There appears to be some doubt about this!)
Same for the RLF server.Originally posted by LaughingRat

Persons banned on the Crackaz Server will be banned on the RLF server as well, no questions asked. Granted, I've yet to ban an IP but that will be tidy'd up before this week is out.
The current server's line is getting switched over this week and it will be in and out due to this. The switch over should be completed this week.
Our new server will be up this weekend for testing. We would appreciate it if you guys could use this new server this weekend so we can make sure it's up to par.
Once we have tested that server it's getting shipped off to Lincoln, Nebraska to be put on a OC3 line which will be it's permanent home. At that time the current CTG TUT server will be taken off line.
Thanks in advance for helping us out in testing the new server.

As some of you may have noticed we have the new server up for testing.
There is a problem with it right now when it switches maps. It seems to be taking an awful long time between map changes. We beleive we know what is causing this problem and will try and fix it by Sunday.
This server is still on the T-1 line. Once we get the server issues sorted out we'll move it to the OC-3. There have been issues with disconnects. I think this is something to do with the T-1 line.
Thank you for playing on the CTG server and putting up with the problems we're having.

Re-posted in this thread at Thwark's request:
For several weeks now, a number of the Thievery server admins and several respected members of the community have been observing a player quite closely, on the suspicion that that player might be cheating. We have reached the conclusion that he is.
That player is Frantic.
We have spent hours spectating him and further hours investigating various Unreal Engine cheats. The kind of cheat that Frantic uses is called a "radar hack". This allows the player to see the direction, and sometimes distance, health, armor status, and ammo of all players in the game, and differentiates between friend and foe. It allows him to find even the best hidden thief, and to avoid guards with ease. After these hours upon hours of watching him play, it is evident that this is what he's using. He has used this cheat on nearly every member of the community, including members of his own guild.
We will not disclose the exact methods used to discover this cheat.
What makes this a true tragedy is that Frantic is actually a very skilled player in his own right. It's a shame that he has felt the need to augment his already formidable abilities in this unfair manner.
Participating in this investigation, and willing to state publicly that they are certain that Frantic is cheating are the following people.
Grank
LaughingRat
BrokenArts
Cythe
LeatherMan
Mad Gerbil

Agreeing to accept the judgment of these people as accurate, the results as factual, and to ban Frantic from their servers are the following admins:
DarkProject
Mogwort
A copy of this post has been sent to all the other server admins I have email addresses for. We urge them to protect their reputations for running a clean, fair server, and permanently ban Frantic from their servers as well. His IP is available to server admins upon request.
Banned Nemesis after seeing the way he harrassed some people.
Nemesis now also banned from Mog's for that, and other reasons
Nemesis was already banned from Crackaz for those reasons. I just hadn't posted it here.
Vandalism occured at Videotron, my ISP. I hope it won't last too long this time.
{RFR} Smokey and negroamus, for raging.
*sigh* I'm spending too much time on this
negroamus: IP 24.114.142.31
{RFR} Smokey: IP 24.207.17.217
Also recently known as [FTS]GarthBrookes and [PTB]The_Thief on mog's
- banned, one by me and one Kick-banned by the players themselves
Needless to say, negroamus and {RFR} Smokey are banned from the Legend server for calling us all, f-ing cheaters.
ok I am setting up a occasional server
all the things the other server admins have said apply
no cheats
no bug exoloits etc
so far noone is banned from my server,but that will
probably change : sigh
one other thing I'm gonna try
I would like to keep down all this DM thieving
If you want to DM go play Unreal Tournament
or Quake
to this end I have instituted a 2 KO limit on my server
that is each thief
because i have noticed its usually one thief who goes BJ
happy and KO's all the Guards winning by killing all guards
instead of by objectives
This is no fun for the new people or veterans who get knocked out of the game early
then thieves run amok in the level with no resistance
if You choose to exceed this limit u will be kicked offf the server
not banned but kicked
I encourage all players to Kick anyone exceeding this limit
Ghostly Thievery server
Ghostly)(Legend server admin
You may want to look UP a couple posts in this thread and reconsider that.Originally posted by Ghostly_ apparition
so far noone is banned from my server
ur so rightOriginally posted by Biohazard
Needless to say, negroamus and {RFR} Smokey are banned from the Legend server for calling us all, f-ing cheaters.

Returning to Normal Hours
Please note that Mog's will be returning to normal hours as of January 2nd
For those that don't know, normal hours are 19:00 - 08:00 GMT Mon-Fri, and all weekend
Changes have been made to the .bat file that runs the Crackaz server such that when it crashes, it will NOT always restart on Theatre.
Shadowe is banned from Legend server for saying Legend hacks an foul launguage when warned many times.
A person by the name of shadowhunter has been banned from the Legend server for adding the Legend tag to his name. When asked several times to change his name, he did not comply. I then asked for a final time and he changed his name to BiohazardBastard.
Banned from the Legend server.
I will have Nemesis look into the server logs as to whether shadowhunter is the same as Shadowe.
