Because of jitspoe banning the world.

I like the guys at gg-center, but I just don't see that network growing very quickly. ETG seems kind of dead now, too.

Smokey: Why are those bigger networks "garbage"?

guys why dint we stick to one network an keep it at that because its very inconvenient changing networks to go to somebody's else's irc channel.

I think its enough when jitspoe registers "official" #paintball channel in numerous networks, then somebody who likes to help could start promoting paintball in one of the networks. I am sure that true eSport games like wsw and quake and many more do not have only 1 network where they at. "The official networof UTk" should be GG-C, on the same time I know guys from wsw that play/have played UT for a long time, but they have no idea wtf GGC is and why oin earth they should leave quakenet.

Point is, the whole community doesnt have to move. There is a chance to idle multiple servers at once, you dont have to create your clan channel everywhere so dont whine you dont have enough room in your channel-bar.

I don't think Paintball could ever rise up to the level that Warsow or UT have. It's just not a spectator sport, most of the time. Lining and all that which the nature of the one-hit kill has brought on makes the game fairly boring to watch. Anyway, good players will be able to dispatch other players in 2-5 seconds, which isn't too interesting for the crowd either.

I think it's best for the community to stay in one central place- it confuses new people less, and splitting between two servers in inevitably split the community to some extent.

That depends. I got quite attached to PB, can´t remember when I was so hooked on only 1 game for so long (5-6 months) and that excitment is growing every day. If you put time in game you can always find something new wich encrease gameplay. And probably the best part of it is playing agains much better players. 1 hit kill makes you more carefull and tactical than any other FPS.

Off topic: yesterday I downloaded Sid´s Colonization, the game of my youth beside Civilization. Still can´t believe how much this game is still playable (played it over 5 hours before switching to DP)

Also the aim is not to reach the popularity of warsow or similar games, the aim is to maximise our own potential. The fact is that being on a small network like GGC does little to help us move towards achieving our aim. A larger network, like i have proven on a smaller scale with #qehs on Quakenet, will help us move towatds our goal.

Moe_Lester · « **Reply #31 on:** June 15, 2007, 08:37:58 AM »

It also doesnt hurt to try to advertise dpball by going to a bigger network. The worst that will happen is we move back to gg-c

A move to a larger network does allow more people to hear about this game, and actively take part. Plus it has the side effect of pre-existing clans taking up the game, which for the clan scene is better than individual new players.
