I think you left some of my comments and questions unanswered. Lets go through my post again.

I am happy but it doesn't forgive ignoring me. If he's going to give the nick away, why give it to a new community when there are other more established communities that deserve it more?

Who are you to decide which community deserves the hostname more, if it isn't even your hostname to begin with?

I can't see an answer to this in your post, sorry.

To add to that question, I like your attitude about 'deserving' the hostname. How can you 'deserve' a hostname, it just gets granted to you.

That's a pretty thin argument. I never said I "decide" who gets what hostname. Jelly decides since he owns all the top ones except the one I use for the main n00bstories server and any others he has given away permanently that I'm not aware of. As far as 'deserving', that's more of a general community feeling. If I created a public poll as to who 'deserved' that nickname, I don't see faildus winning that poll.

A n00bstories "split" is a really bad term to use. In truth, a very small percentage of the players stole my server nickname for my marathon server and put their own anti-NS server up.

Anti-NS? The way I see it, people left your community, then started their own, seperate community.

You gave no comment on this comment. Even though it was not entirely required, as it was not a question, I would still like to see if you would like to comment on my statement. If not, then I entirely understand, being the good guy I am.

Please. When a server is created that duplicates our settings to the letter and all efforts are to copy all the features that we have on our custom bots, it's an anti-NS server. You spam your users with your fictional accounts of why you decided to leave and thread after thread is created for "why u choosed faildus over NS". I don't know why you deny this. A few months later, you're trying to go your own direction because you finally realized that you can't build a community based on hate.

Also.. your server nickname? Did you even use it back then? When a new community was formed on that nickname (Exodus, or should I say faildus/exofail because you like filtering it to that, really good job on deleting that poll btw) you instantly wanted to put up a marathon server on that nickname, probably just to stop us.

Thanks for answering this question, it is highly appreciated. Comparing Renegade hostnames to real world restaurant chains made me laugh, thanks for sharing that.

I'm glad you found it amusing. However, that wasn't my intent. With the limited number of players still available, people are a rare and valued asset, at least as far as running a Renegade server is concerned. Businesses pick locations to try and make the most money, though businesses all have their own ways of making money. High host names are far and above the best way to attract the most amount of players in this particular game.

Hence:

Restaurant customers : money :: Renegade players :: goal of owning a server

I'm not sure how many of you guys have taken your SATs or learned analogies yet but now the metaphor of restaurants has been explained completely, hopefully you will stop laughing and start realizing my point.

And once again, having one high nickname doesn't make it OK to steal the other one. If people used that logic, it would be OK to steal money because people have more in the bank, or OK to kill a baby if the parents have another one. I do not subscribe to such failures of logic.

I'm the bawss.
