How about a new ZA zombie server? 
My idea was to make a pro infection server, where laddering and jetpacking is allowed for humans and with only the following maps:
Hangem, gulch, DI, longest, chillout and gephy,
and with only the following weps:
Snipers, pistols, ARs and needlers.
If you guys think its a good idea, im willing to pay something for it every month, but maybe not everything because i have no idea how much a 12 or 16 player server costs..

It depends on your hosting method. If you decide to host it yourself, it's completely free, although quality will be very poor unless you have a decent, idle PC laying around accompanied by a dedicated line of a good internet connection. Rental dedicated servers can vary in prices depending on location, quality and brand. I suggest doing some research before volunteering to pay/suggest this kind of thing.

So like a no ban server? I think we tossed that idea around for Pro 2 and it was decided that we didn't want to soil the name of ZA by having a no ban server.
Also not to mention if you did do it you'd have to use phasor, script it and all that fun stuff which is a lot of work.

I smell mass rage quits
Well, its all kinda connected with eachother; The maps i called dont really contain nadejump spots that are impossible for zombies to reach. Also, the weapons are kinda bad at close range so if zombies sneak up on the humans its a bit hard for the humans when they're very close.
Buut carnage just kinda informed me about running a server, its all a bit too complicated and stuff. I didnt know it required so much work so this thread can be deleted

at one time i thought a no-rules/no-ban server would help put alpha to good use, but since no one agreed I had the chance to rethink it, and its not a great idea. I don't support having a server where our rules are allowed to be broken. Less admins would hang out there cause they wouldn't be needed, so language and bullying would suck there. Camping would be rampant, specially with people laddering, so we would have tons of people rage quitting, too.
Having a server like this would cause more problems than it would solve.

Yeah, the rules are there for a reason. If we start introducing servers where we allow people to ignore the rules then our other servers get undermined, as well as the clan itself. So I think all servers should stick to the same set of rules; the only thing that should change is the gametype, weapons, settings, etc..
If we're going to set up a new server then it'd have to be discussed. I don't know how others feel about it but I liked the race server. Otherwise, we haven't really got a scripter with enough time to implement big changes (unless anyone wants to learn Lua (which hurts my brain just to look at)) so the best alternative I can see in the short term would be taking some ready-made scripts to make a mixed gametype server (which I heard we had back in the day) with stuff like One in the Chamber. Wasn't that Smiley's server before it became Beta? If we're gonna set up a new server, would it be an idea to revive his old scripts?

I agree that a server without rules would undermine the image of ZÅ that we've built up carefully.
I really liked the race server. It disappeared while I was away so I don't know what happened to it.
I know a little bit of LUA and wouldn't mind learning more but I'm quite busy at the moment. As for Smiley's scripts - they were written for a previous version of Phasor and when discussing updating them on the Phasor forums, I was informed that he had requested for them not to be used.
My brain is open.

Nah, no point in deleting stuff. We can lock it if you like.
