New SS 6.4 HS: preparations thread (2 turns per week)

[sonnet]

Guys an important matter:
as I mentioned in the opening post I won't hold the admin password. But I also mentioned that I would assign players in the HS as co-admin
to help the external admin (Myth) with most common stuff (resetting password,skipping turns, posting map updates).
The players I chose are Jiub and Tavix who kindly gave me their availability if needed.
I chose them since they're the oldest players here (they were active already when I joined it), and never found cheating or making anything that would make you doubt about their honesty, which in more than 4 years should say something about them. I trust them 100%.
I hope everyone is fine with that.

They won't check anyone's save or take any part in any decision concerning deciding the punishment or compensation for players (so there's no risk of biased decisions)
That would still be exclusively done by Myth or an external admin.
I'm doing it, because even with an external admin, you can't expect the external admin to do everything. We should try to automanage
ourselves as much as we can to avoid to overload the admin with lots of task. Always remember that the admin is doing a favor to us, and we should not exaggerate with our request or take advantage of such courtesy. Moreover if we want to ensure this HS keeps on track,
we need always someone with admin password present. And surely we get more chances with 3 people rather than 1.

So basically the people knowing the admin password would be:
Myth (external admin)
Jiub (who is playing)
Tavix (who is playing)

If you have something against, please say it now.

So you don t have the password because you are playing, and Jiub and tavix can , but they are playing also? ! this logic is wired.
Last time when someone had the password i was put in very bad position (SIAB) also there is other HS around here where players have the Password and they winning decisively .

Actually was better to have an extra admin. i know that they are suppose to reset passwords etc but a simple toggle_fow it is enough to avoid defeat in some cases. not to mention that they can watch other players turn or... they can do everything actually.

Again this is what i think . lets see if other people have to say about this.

The fact is that I prefer to act as guaranteeing (if you saw the thread,in extreme cases I might even remove the admin if I see him totally unfit for the task). If you find them we could have the save even earlier today.
Moreover keeping the first 3 posts of the thread will be already a lot of work.

If you want all external admins, then pls help me find one (maybe TheKinghtoftheRiver might be available to help us, ask Totalwarlegend or whoever you can find fit for the task).
But realistically we need admins to be present, and external admins are never as present and active as the players (due to the fact that players have more interest, which is obvious why).

There's no problem is sharing concerns, and we should all work together to overcome those and find a solution to it.

there is no other way . i barely find a player online . and a player to check this fast hs, there is no hope ,

these two that you mentioned they will not have the time for this and others i know they are not capable,

Those Romanians and Bulgarians... they are everywhere

I don't really remember how tavix did in the HS before, I know he's a good player, the other things I don't know. But I have trust in Jiub, he will take his cup of coffee and sit down on his turn for hours, there won't be time to cheat. :P

All jokes a said, I trust they'll do what is reasonable and fair.

It's funny because I just finished a cup a coffee over an hour of play and two turns in CCM2 "Age of Heroes" :))
...Ok, maybe it was a bit over an hour :P

He might have remembered the few times you mentioned enjoying spending time playing your turns with a cup of coffe


Guys I think I'll put "longer assimilation" among the options checked as suggested by Tonno.
Seems to me a good idea.
