Alright, my last thread got some attention from a lot of active ppl. I thought about the situation, analysed, reconsidered and got an idea, to improve our community. The idea is: create a group of active, veteran players, who will hunt for undesirable types of players.
What does undesirable types of players mean? Cheaters, trolls, abusers.
I'm not saying admins don't work to clean up the servers from them, but surely, the most effective way to make our corner better is to organize some groups with certain purpose, which always has a goal to make troll-game community better.
Bannerlord is upcoming. You may joke about how long it'll take our grandchildren to play, but it'll happen once. It'll create some resonance and attract a lot of new players. Let's be honest: warband community is really fucked up - a lot of ppl, who at least can block just humiliate other casuals, creating toxic atmosphere, autoblock is an easy thing to get... I really hope, TG will be opened in Bannerlord once. But with a pack of new players admins just won't be able to control the situation. They can't do it now. Really, the server for 200 slots, and pack of others with about 100 slots more combined, and, like, up to 10 admins? They surely can't watch everything and always, but there's no really trusted guys, to give them admin rights.
So, what if there'll be certain group of loyal ppl, who will face undesirable elements everyday, get annoyed from them, but once gathers, quickly collects materials for creating a serious report and make a server a bit more clear? Trust, which will be given us through the time we spent here will be one more thing, which will allow us to make pressure for administration (in good meaning of this word, we love our admins) to investigate a conflict and solve it ASAP, because, you know, we will create serious reports, that will deserve admins' attention.
Also, being a part of the group will give you a mark of loyalty. If you will join - everyone will know, you are welcomed in the community and you are respected for efforts you make to improve it.
I know some ppl, who would be welcome to enlist, despite my tensive relationship with them. I've seen who really wants to make the place better, to create real prestige to warband, share it to others and show everyone, Mount & blade is a place, where you won't be alone.
GOALS OF THE BROTHERHOOD:
1. Catching trolls, abusers.
2. Catching and revealing cheaters.
3. Making regular lists of previous players to shame and warned.
4. Revealing Warband ID of recidivists, to share their ban to other servers (people's analog of VAC)
5. Helping new players to adopt the game and the community
6. Expanding TG-community and popularizing it.
REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN:
1. Blockability - 70% (block 10 out of 10 straight hits, block at least 5 out of 10 feint hits). You may pass this stage by showing your score with at least 0.8 stat playing as a footman.
2. 200+ hours (this limit can raise soon) of Warband
3. No bans last for 3 months
4. No caught cheating for last 6 months
5. Being registered in Troll-face community for at least 1 last month
6. Don't be a dickhead to newbies (unless they're)
TO (with) EVERYONE WHO WILL ENLIST:
1. I'll (we'll) teach how to easily spot and reveal cheaters without admin rights.
2. I'll (we'll) teach some tricks of swordfightsing so you can look more honorable.
3. I'll (we'll) listen all you thoughts about improving our job
4. I'll (we'll) discuss future maps I'm going to create.
PS: if you'll say something like "calm down at last", or "still feeling insulted" - I answer you "no" and offer to join too, if you feel so useful. If not - pass this thread, not for you.
