Hidden Damn Weekends

[TopHatPenguin]

Can we at least give this a trial period to test out hidden weekends to see if they are worth it?

Noone new would find the server, if it was hidden...

[Ghostdex]

Thats the fun part?

Apop if they truly like the server they will go on the forums or press the replay button so i don't generally see that as a well issue , also as we have the rest of the week for pubs it wouldn't make a massive impact.

and if the play several servers? I mean, i host our server, and i play on other servers sometimes.

Apop i don't quite understand what you are trying to say :/ or how it links....i'll just roll with it

Apop. People will find the server on the weekdays, and hopefully bookmark the IP, or visit the forum. Also, perhaps adding another line of text to the joining text stating we have hidden weekends, will alert players who care to bookmark the IP. More than likely, the players who cause issues, will not bother bookmarking or searching for ways to join the server, as they only care to join quickly and do their thing.

UM and Apop, it's hidden WEEKENDS not hidden everything. The playerbase will be fine. It may go down in the weekend but it will have better role play in the weekends

He's saying the replay button only works for people playing only one server. If this is tried, there should be a message clearly showing how to access the server on the weekends. Doing this would still reduce the count but hopefully still help the population stay up.

We can have a start up message when you join the game saying "Be aware on Weekends we are hidden join via...'This method' or 'This Method'

most people are busy doing shit during the weekdays. They would be less likely to venture for new servers etc if they play ss13. Apophis wants his server to be popular. Why would he do something like this? It would make more sense to hire active admin rather than reduce the potential player base on his server.

[Robin63]

I don't see the benefit of this...most people would be playing SS13 at the weekends so new players are more likely to find servers at the weekend. By hiding it all you're going to do is limit the amount of players finding this place. I don't bookmark servers...I try to limit my interaction with byond to just either clicking replay or scrolling through the server list.

Well, the new players are the PROBLEM they run around without reading the rules and become Leader roles (( Ex:SL,LO,MP,CO)) THen fuck up the round
