36 votes for yes? I'd like to see who the hell voted because it appears to just be bs.
A month or so ago, when the server was up, and running with CTF readily available, not one person logged on to play CTF. Yet all of you are going to log onto a crippled UC version of Classic to play CTF now? Bull.

Noone had played CTF continously for classics last month+ of being on classic tab. Everyone had moved onto different servers for reasons ranging from following friends who had left due to lack of content and slow speed of progression, to a certain guild simply trying to remove a chunk of players from the server to attack the current management and administration(sup Uncommon Society).

Tell me one reason that you want to play CTF now opposed to playing it when the server was actually on the Classic tab. I hope the development team takes the couple hours needed to make CTF available to the public and GCs for the short term, so I can see most of the people posting in this thread to come up with excuses why they're not going to log on and play.

Why did people start listening to Michael Jackson after his death? Wasn't he the child****er before that?

There was only a small portion of people who were truly against him because of that

You must have a pretty short memory because people did play CTF before the server went down, there was just very few people interested in hosting events in general and an inactive GC administrator who didn't want to hire. You should especially remember, saying as you continuously advocated that he should hire, and when people hosted events they were the prime target for you to mess around in. In fact, the reason why a lot of us stopped playing on Classic was because of you abusing in the minor instances in which we did get events.

There is a difference between logging onto a server to play a few turns of an event you enjoyed on a few one-off nights, and constantly playing on a dead server with nothing to do in between events that are the prime target for abuse. Before the server was wiped clean 20+ people came online for one single game of CTF, and these people were just those that were online at the time. With that in mind, I hope the development team takes the couple hours needed to make CTF available to the public and GCs for the short term as well.

There was a game maybe once a week and barely got a 4v4 match, if that.
None of the conditions to playing have changed. In fact its gotten worse, theres less GCs now if any at all and there is no GC Admin.

You're concerned about the one game where I gave myself a lot of health. This wasn't to abuse really, more of a test to see what Clel would do, any competent GC would have stopped the game immeadiately. While the horses were a bit much, a lot of people found it hilarious, besides the GC anyway.(including yourself, I remember you even asking me to give you speed from the broken speed droppable to cause trouble in Mystic's CTF's) The only time you reacted is when you were on the recieving end of the abuse, which was one game. Not one time before did you complain, so don't give me any bull. I sparingly even participated or went in the levels at all during the time span I am refering to(Classic's final month).

I was around the whole time, there was probably 1 to 2 games every 2 weeks, in which GCs struggled to maintain a 4v4 match, most of the time, they would end up either having to play themselves. Gladius had to do this multiple times, Mystic would more often than not use his alt account to play CTF to cover for a replacement, or for a game he could only get 7 people for, if that.

With that said, you still haven't told me what has changed that would make players magically participate in a CTF madness now, when it failed when the server wasnt even UC.

I don't think it was that bad, because most of the games in which you gave people (mainly me) horses there was more than 4 per side. However, this isn't really important as all it takes is 8 players, it's only once a month or whatever was being discussed, and it would only take one GC to host it. Gladius is trying to arrange it, so I think it'd be fair to assume that he would log on and host. Death has said in this thread that he would also host. The conditions between regularly hosting on a server and hosting once a month for a one-off event are way different.

I'm not concerned about things like you abusing to be fair because it's hardly relevant and as far as I'm concerned, all in the past; that was just the push that made me stop playing. Regardless of these situations, it still highlights that the event was being hosted before the server adopted an "Under Construction" status, and that is what I was trying to get across.

No. The day before this thread was made, Gladius logged onto Unholy Nation and we were talking about CTF in GM's. He then decided to log onto Classic and was open to host it for anyone that wanted to play. 20-odd people came on (I think the peak was 23) and he hosted CTF Sumo X. After the game, Gladius crashed and people thought he wasn't coming back so they all logged off shortly after. That is what sparked off the idea of hosting CTF now and again, because there was a lot of interest and participation on that night.
