do you want a new server?

Well because GDT wasn't made on the basis of making a new sever, but simply to enhance the current game-play around the whole entire game and not just on one specific server.

...and that wasn't the point of this thread at all? this isn't just to focus on the GDT, which i'm pretty sure has been said several times already. a "neither" option would mean that - what - developers and the GDT should work on things unrelated to both UC and active servers?

You contradicted yourself..

Read the bold in your quote and then look at the poll question please.

Also, the poll has no connection with the actual thread title. "new server" means starting from scratch yet, you seem to be talking about UC servers and current servers, all of which are not new..

The only reason why this thread started is because the 3 MAIN servers we have now are just boring as hell, since they've existed for way too long.

well let's see, it says:

so where exactly did i contradict myself?

the "new server or not" is an appropriate question because those are the two focuses you can take as a developer: either get a job on the current servers, or join/start a new server (whether you decide to work alone on side projects like dusty has been making or you work on a UC server like new n-pulse or delteria; it's semantically different but it's still sort of the same thing). the same applies to the GDT although the consensus seems to be that their first priorities should be for projects that contribute to both sides

Well the thread is about developers and you said above that its just not about developers.. which is confusing because thats what your asking about. Also should I point out, its unfair for ALL of GDT to focus on server, their focus is to help all different servers in need, whether they are starting up or they new basic content or help. This has been stated several times so I don't know where you are getting confused.. o.o

why would it be unfair if all the GDT worked on a single server? i think that'd be awesome, as through it something worth while could be produced

Having a complete and dedicated team all work on one server, compared to having regular players on different servers who do what they can in their spare time, would be worthwhile.

It would be awesome, but thats not the point of the GDT. If we focus all our developers on one server, yes we will get something good but it would be unfair towards the other servers who have worked long and hard and didn't get any aid from the GDT.

One server at a time would probably be best and most logical. Also, the GDT would not have to necessarily "finish" a server off like some sort of second-rate day laborers, but rather get key things started and facilitate the native server's staff's ability to finish it themselves (as directed and agreed upon by the server manager). More servers would receive quality help in a shorter period of time this way (strength in numbers) in the first place. Waiting until it is one's own turn is not a new concept.

i agree, and i think that's what most others mean when they say that the GDT should work on things that apply for everyone. having standards for the current three types of servers (like pre-established scripts, documentation, etc.) would be useful in getting more content off the ground

another other option would be to advance the current main 3 servers and bring them closer to a maxim of game play (ones i would hope would be chosen more by the players) which could then be translated into UC servers for the pre-established standards. a similar option would be to help along the UC servers in some sort of first-come-first-serve basis so that some new content could come out, creating new standards or medium to create those standards
