this is what tony posted in the nbk forum, since we are a part of the UT community, i think everyone of us should know about this and build his own opinion.

i understand what hes trying to reach... i already talked to him about this on their TS... and i gotta say that i dont agree with him on like every point hes stating... 

like i said, this is only my opinion but i think that a &quot;dying&quot; game like ut99 should not be even more reduced to servers that play the same style of the game... there are a only a few servers left out there, and every clan has their own settings and mods, why would we want to change that...  why would we want to make them use the same settings? 

to me it seems like hes putting up a lot of rules and personly ... I DO NOT agree with that. in my opinion we should be thankful for every clan that sets up servers in 99 and helps the community to stay alive by doing so... why would we try to reduce them?

lets just keep the things the are right now, this game exists for almost 12 yrs now, it even survived all of its offsprings like 2k4 or ut3, dunno guys, just my opinion here, build ur own!!!!!!!

Hey guys, hello community

the NBK-Cup is almost over. I think, the cup was a big success. It was great to see so many Teams playing together, even very old one.

Now in the last week, we are still in communication, and we should work all together to keep the community alive.

NBK was thinking about many helpful stuff.

1. mIRC
mIRC is a chat - system, what many gamer use. They use it for challange each other rumbles, 1on1's or if the need technical support. Even the UT99 NW-Community use it. I wonder why our community never use this programm.

2. ServerDefaults:
Every SniperServer should have the same settings what we all decide with maybe even a certification and named like [cert][Clantag]Servername. I'd like to discuss about a black-list of mods, which are not allowed on a certificated server and I'd like to discuss about a white-list of allowed mods. Lets make a default for the rifle-settings like damage and firespeed, serverspeed and settings, spawnprotection and and and.

That means:

[Cert]-CampingServer
[Cert]-OldschoolServer
[Cert]-FreeStyleServer
[Fun]-Server (Do what ever you want like JailBreak mods and stuff)

I even would like to make a black- or whitelist for maps especially for campingstyle.

3. Every week on one special day mix-rumble on a [cert] server. (Would be great if the americans work with)

Whats our advantage?

Hard to explain it in right words. We are a community. Not as big as it was, but we still became new Teams in. Of course, sometimes we have hard discussions or even fights, but all in all the most agree. Some Teams of our community are different. They destroy everything with strange mods, ban-horney Admin, making false accusation for cheating and much more shit and hate.

I dont wanna discuss about every single Idea here, because I have much more details in my mind. I just wanna know if other clan-admins and players like the main-idea.

I even would like to make a extra simple forum:

To talk about the details and let this come true.
List of TS-Servers where we can meet
List of all [Cert]-Servers with description and Admin-Info
and much more

I'd like to build a lobby in this community. I'd like to have every team from the Cup in, cause they were cool here, I'd like bring players to a [Cert]-server.

What do you think?
