New ideas for e+
both ur last posts are confusing me skull and panda ! may I know what do you mean ?
Well, what can i add more.. This topic is the results of what me and soft discuss about after a fw, or simply @msn.
One day i checked how much mods has quake 3. Reading, i noticed that nobody talked of E+ , so we suggested each other, we should do something, especially who has the rights here. Then i opened a topic too (reported by Ali). Personally i care of the good of community(a part some bad, and some untrusted ppl ) cuz inside there are my good friends, cuz i would see more ppl that play, have fun, talk, start friendship, organize, build maps, new features; this Mod deserves, and I want that e+ continue its life year after year.
What e+ need now is:
-ppl with knowledge
-ppl that convert the words in facts
-ppl with ideas
-people with the desire to do something.
What e+ doesn't need is:
ppl that acting like Nostradamus that
says: this mod is spam, nice words but they wont work, why you lose time for this s***t, ahah lol rofl e+, ahah look at forum "X there is a guy that says e+ is blabla".
I call these negative words "unlucky waves" that break the desire to do, of Who would do something good here.

As webmaster, before start to build a website:
1-Basic idea, something that work.
2-Project(based on idea), let's do an analisys, let's make questions if necessary;
example: .Why do I need this site?
.What targets should I get?
.Need to advertise a product?
.Need to make information? If so, at what level?
.Used to improve the image of something?
With this example i mean, when when we have gathered all the answers we can start to develop the project; so we will know what features, specifications and features will the website.
3- the contents ( text, image, video, audio, apps )
are very important role, a good image presentation combined with good description, using a language that attracts and intrigues who is reading.
The website must be adapted for the project and the contets, and created with an easily navigable structure.
4-Promotion/link building. "Announce to the world" ofc u can say to a brother or a friend or a cousin 1st; but we need above all to earn some link that points to e+ site to determine a link popularity.
5-Network. Creating a series of structures that revolve around the main site, such as blogs, satellite sites, facebook, youtube.
Important would be make E+ as a standalone game, like warsow etc.. more easy to download for ppl! work for obtain a good final product. In future just an example stupid or not i say advertising of sponsors inside maps as texture.
So guys, keep this topic alive and all other leaders and players answer please, and give your contribution.
yeah, for all that, time is critical here, i do some things then i have couple mins free, that thing must somehow be started not that way like now are, mby start as you said all gathered from talks, as a plan, and then - start an invitation who can and how can do things, and then we have a bunch off participators, start doing something as planed
btw, site admins, as i guess have ability send emails too all e+ community, then some things are organized like fws cw rank match important votes - i think they MUST send email notices with links info and invitation to all registered community (yes i know sometimes emails are fake.. or people even do not look at them) but this thing is important
btw i never never never got any letter like that form this community(web) , particular users can do that.. first they do not have emails and seconds write by hands all emails is a pain i as... at our LNT website powered by e107 (is a content management system written in PHP and using the popular open source MySQL database system for content storage) we can sent one liter easily to all community by one click, and every one have invitation and etc
btw i missed that 1v1 tourney here... i do not read whole forum.. have no time.. yesturday heard from froggy... that he participating on that.. its just a small example howw info do not reach targets
i missed and asphyx organized cup 2010-11-27, i asked to rememeber me i even didnt got any personal mesage or something i just forgot and i didnt come (btw that turney im noticed too acidently maybe some player was posting at it and it was a firs topic..)..

I meant that besides the stand-alone project (which is all-sufficient) and besides mixing E+ with TA (which is not possible by a legal way) the other suggestions are targeted to gain attention to the existing community with those couple of game variations it represents. You really should add my suggestion 'utilize existing features' because it is addressed to the community to change itself and bring actual variety to the game. Newcomers will not do it for you, they will simply join crowded servers for being frozen from start to leave.
I would better try to catch players looking for games in multiplayer list and promote Excessive Plus by providing nice skill-balanced uncommon gameflow and making playable custom maps with descriptive advertisement right on walls.
Ok ok ok, by all ideas and bla bla, who will doing all this?
Easy? We have no idea when he have, or even if he will have time for it.
Beast? Haven't seen anything from him for months.
Panda? She is left alone, and can't do the things all alone which you expect from the devs.
Promotion etc bla bla? do u have already an idea who will do this?
i can help on web development php/mysql/mssql/html/css/js/xml/xslt...

help help help. first of all you need people who initiate it, take the responsibility, people who have the oversight.
helping people are not the problem, never was. u need the leading people, who give a clear direction and who are willed to work hard for free till its built up.
i just see here "bla bla" since i am in e+.

That's wrong I have ever seen some ppl who were ready to do what u said, and there are still some ready, including me.
example : how can you modify the website if no one gives u the access to the source code ?

well said panda
Hm, I don't have bright ideas but I think that if there will be more events organized like the ones Ali organizes, those will surely attract new people as there will be many good E+ players in one place. They will get to know the community players a little more. This is my humble unpolished opinion. And if it's possible, remove that bug when you shoot someone and he doesn't die. Will be a new era for this game for sure.
1 )advertise around the internet(moddb, wiki pages, quake sites, etc).
2 )a standalone game with new maps and models.
3 )make on E+ gametype and maps from Q3 TEAM ARENA.
4 )Add e+ to Clanbase or ESL..
5 )more developers such as coders (for improving mod).
6 )webdevs (to finish this site).
7 )designer (for some art work).
8 )people for documentation.
9 )make a trailer video.
10)update the Excessiveplus youtube account
11)add new features
12)utilize existing features
For fist we need that the admins give us informations ,possibility to
modify things and , I hope ,also some helps, for second we need
volunteers: everyone who can do something or want to do something from
the ideas listed can help. The "bla bla bla" is needed to face the
problems and partecipation is needed to solve them(expecially in a free
comunity like this).
