Rules always exclude someone

[calranthe 8]

Primarily this is a discussion of why people want to be able to password and reserve slots on servers also the reasons behind the need for a localhost dbase so people can set up private servers, roleplay enforced servers, story driven scenario servers

(not connected to the main dbase so no imbalance or affect on the prime public servers)

Now I will come clean and admit I am bias on this so here is my personal situation and reason for wanting to hose either a private or public server but with ability and permission to pw it at some times.

15 years ago my wife became disabled, a lot of our life had to change and due to the severity of the disability games because freedom to do things nolonger possible in the real world.

So I started up a clan for people in situations like her, from physical difficulties to mental, we went from muds and single player games (to start with using group phone and bbs chat to keep each other going and teach)

We have had our own l4d1/2, CS, HL, supreme commander all the way back to total annihilation, we also join mmos together.

Very good community atmosphere we even have partially sighted people in our group who roleplay and have awesome fun playing injured civilians we have to protect, one of the things you need in these situations is a damn good sense of humor.

No one is looked down to and we even have film nights when we are all on chat and watching a film all over the world.

We do not advertise the clan or have a tag because to be honest human nature sucks, yes we have a lot of good people in this world but we also have people who grief and attack groups like ours, last time we were out in the open certain idiots actually tried to scam and bully our members.

Oh we have no problem defending ourselves but that takes time away from enjoying and having fun on a game.

I have told them all about Day z, most of them already have Arma II CO and we are all of us long time players of STALKER.

Treating special needs people differently is a double edged sword, we all want to be equal but in reality when some of your members will need 1-2 weeks of 1 on 1 coaching to play and survive a new game without distractions you need breathing space.

I want to setup a server either public or private and most of the time it would be open to the public and yes in time fully open but time will be needed for the first couple of months to get all my clan up to speed.

We do not want to pw protect to isolate ourselves, to cheat or dupe, to lord it over other players, we are just in a unique situation our goal would be to open the server fully once all the training days have happened.

On the other hand I am 41 and my hair is nearly completely gray lol.

So is there other people out there in these kind of situations or are we unique.

So remember when people are asking for a private server or a pw protected one for every idiot wanting to gear up and get an advantage there is someone who wants to write a story or play with friends without having to press enter 50 times, small comunities, clans people who have reasons beyond selfishness to ask for this. Who would be perfectly happy with a local dbase so no one else gets bothered by what they do.

The normal responses of:

"deal with it"

"go play another game"

"tough"

Do both you and us a disservice.
