Mad hatter. the server ahs been around. But it will need some perks to get some donators or else the servvers will keep sucking up money. also we ar eplanning to open a rotation server and we neeed some donations to help them all stay alive.

I agree this is a good way to bring in money

I am not challenging your fundraiser, I am saying consider tweaking the perks a little bit, maybe something like access to all classes except sniper. There's a reason it went to one slot only in the first place.

Some additional ideas are having donor's names in highlighted colors when they type in chat, and having their names be announced conspicuously when they join. Maybe reduce donor's RTD cooldown by thirty seconds, or eliminate a donor's chance for explode/1 hp completely?

Thanks for some of those ideas there Mad Hatter. I was going to be looking for a way to achieve a few of those already. Unfortunately the way RTD is built I can't change those options. But thanks anyway.

I'm gonna have to open this can of worms up again and talk about the sniper slot issue.

Too often are there 2 & 3 snipers on a team, and too often the other team doesn't even have a donor to help balance. I understand the point of people paying for the server getting bonuses, but I think it goes beyond personal gain and really intrudes into upsetting the already shaky balance of Orange and the server.

I don't understand why everyone agreed, when sourcemods was broken, that more than 1 sniper was excessive and hinders the fun of the map; but it's ok if someone and their buddy pays $10 and the same thing happens anyway.

I agree and Jameless and me talked about this today. I think all we can do right now is request upon the donators (which are few) not to unbalance the game.

I think 2 vs 1 sniper is doable but 3 vs 1 is not fair anymore. So please donators:

DON'T UNBALANCE THE GAME PLEASE!

We will see how this develops further. If it doesn't work we may have to take the perk away again. But for now let them enjoy it since it's a reward for donating.

I ask of all admins to please keep an eye out for the balance of the game. Never 2 donators on one team who pick sniper please.

i make it a policy to only noscope when i'm that "other" sniper on my team. it keeps things even for the most part

This, besides I only go sniper when the other team also has one extra and I mostly do it to mess around Razz

Also, a nice perk would be to have a reserved slot on the server. Not sure about this though because it would kick non-donators which can be a little bit unfair.
