Most of the people here don't play on other servers because, they are just that. A server not run by Bay12 does not have the same interests in mind that one that is, does.
Except that's just it; I would only run the server. Who gets to become an administrator, the server motd, etc. is solely up to you.
Our admins must fit my stern criteria, which is why we often have very few. I know we still have a few admins I might not rather have, but I also trust that they will get better in time.
There is no more admins.txt. All administrators are managed through the game using my admin panel. You have full unrestricted access, the same access I got; you can add administrators without needing to query me, I don't need to update any files. I'd say everyone would be happy with such an arrangement.
I would refuse to play on a server that I could not rule over. Not because I am power hungry, but because I KNOW no one else could host a server the way I want it. And it's not just for me. I don't think most of Bay12 would not be happy in a different server either.
I can set up a system so you can update the host files, edit files and start/stop/reboot the server at your convenience. Even if it crashes/freezes up, you can still get on and kill the server.
The goons want to have silly fun, you want to have the best code, and we just want to tell a story.
I like to think of myself as the man in the middle: I like to have some silly fun at times, but I do want people to role-play. But yeah, I do want a nice interface and solid code.
I think the best way to handle SS13 is to merge this all together: there needs to be times when there's just mindless fun, but there also needs to be a time when people can seriously role-play without others ruining it. You can't tell me that no Bay12 user would want to break away from role-playing for 10 minutes to have some fun.
