=(UV)= Weekly Digest vol. 4 [7.24.09]

[UnknownLegend 5480]

Welcome to the fourth installment of the weekly digest. In this weeks news:

Community:

We are finally purchasing our second dedicated box! Here are the specs, for those of you that care:

Dual 'Nehalem' Quad Core Xeon 5520

* 8 x 2.26GHz + hyper-threading CPU

* 2 x 250GB HDD

* 12GB RAM

* 1 GigE (1000Mbit) port

* 10TB transfer

There are a few things to take note of: First, we are getting a huge amount of bandwidth for a much cheaper cost; our current cap with Quantum is 2TB, but with the new host we are getting 10TB, and better hardware, for about $50 less per month. In addition, Crothers, an ex-QS employee who coded the kernel for our current dedi, has offered to set up and maintain the box free of charge. This will not effect our current dedicated box in any way, shape, or form.

Clan members, you have until Tuesday to give feedback on the recruits! Starting Tuesday, staff will begin voting on recruit and rank promotions in the staff forum.

ADMIN SCHOOL will be starting within the next one to two weeks! We've been trying to get this organized for the past couple of months, and it looks like it will finally be ready in the coming weeks. In its current form, admin school will be required by all new subscribing admins, and eventually old subscribers as well. Admin school is a short in-server tutorial led by Coinstar, or possibly another JCS/ADV/Veteran Senior Admin. Training will take place once every two weeks, and will be approximately thirty minutes to one hour in length. We're doing this in an attempt to acquaint new admins with server rules earlier on, so they aren't just jumping in to a server with little or no knowledge of what they are supposed to be doing.

A major leadership system reform is on the horizon-- look for details next Friday!

Servers:

Jailbreak will finally be moved out of beta some time this week. Mario has almost finished coding his Last Request mod, as well as a few other plugins, and they will be loaded up soon. It's taken him a while to get it all together, but this was a huge undertaking, and we're very excited to see it almost finished. Here are a few details about it:

Pre-configured last requests:

* Shot for shot

* Knife Fight, with three different modes/options

** Key feature: PRISON RIOT OPTION-- This is a LR we're pretty excited about-- For your last request, if you choose this option it will respawn EVERYONE, teleport them to a small room in the map, turn friendly fire ON, and change everyone's skin to the prisoner skin.

* Pick a weapon - T is given a weapon

* Race

* Spray Competition (possibly-- Mario is still looking into how to code in a measurement to judge who won)

* 1v1 or 2v2 duel

* Gun Toss

* Time bomb yourself or a CT - the time bomb is a STEALTH bomb, so no one will know which one you picked!

* Custom Last Request - If you select this option, you can type in your own last request and it will appear in fancy text.

Bomb Purchasing:

* If you are the last Terrorist 3 times during the map, you have the option of buying a small bomb for yourself at the beginning of the round. If you are last Terrorist 4 times, you can purchase a large bomb.

Built-in Freekilling punishment:

* If you are not the last CT, and you kill more than 2 players in 2 seconds, you get knocked to 1 health, if you kill more than 3 players in 3 seconds, autoslay. If you do that again, auto ban for 30 minutes. Those numbers are subject to change

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions Click here.

Once we purchase the new box, we will begin configuring it for Team Fortress 2 servers; I know I've said this a few times, but TF2 will be ready **soon**

5th =(

RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE kyle made me edit

[RAGEQUILT 0]

Seems spot on. The lr games seem supa awesome. Can't wait to try prision riot option

although, I'm pretty sure the freekill deal will work against freekillers (or god forbid a freekiller reads this and times his kills) but there are times were I have to kill a bunch of fail ts, and would hate to get a 30 min ban, but besides that, seems awesome

[Zachmanman 877]

I like the last request except for the freekill auto punish. It could easily be exploited by terrorists.

Lol admin school is going to be hilarious.

[Jason 786]

The anti-mass free kill would a be a little harder to exploit than you might think.

[Lesbian Dad 555]

definitely liking the JB last requests.

[BAZ8771 2]

Wow.... just wow... this is a HUGE step in the right direction in one post of under 1000 words. Looks like UV is finally getting its head on straight

[Zoxopirezox Jared 15]

Looks really good. UV is going to grow a lot with this.
