I would like to see this command used with more restraint. Overuse of this command can actually cause people to leave the server, but if this command is used right, can also keep people in the server too.

 

Today, we had a full server for about an hours time. We had an admin come in and give cash to everyone several times when the server was full. The server isn't running any weapon restrictions so it turns into most people buying an AWP. We all know that AWP fests are not fun. I do not want to restrict weapons because I also feel that is not fun, even though I rarely use an awp.

 

I also feel that giving out free cash too much makes the server into a 'noob' server, and it will lose some of its competitive appeal to the more experienced, mature players.

 

Some admins feel that when other admins give themselves cash and no one else, that is also 'unfair', and I agree as well, however it is better than giving cash to the whole server and is a perk of being an admin. However the best admins rarely give themselves cash in my opinion. Also, if it really upsets you when an admin gives himself cash, just call him a noob

 

I approve of giving cash to the whole server when there are very few people on, 10 players or less usually. This isn't set in stone. Sometimes you'll get 14 people on and they all want cash, so give it to them. Also, I approve of giving cash to a whole team if they are losing so badly. For instance today, the terrorist team had only 1 win, while the counter-terrorists had 9 wins. So I used the command and only gave the terrorists cash.

 

The full command structure is,

 

ma_givecash #t 16000 // gives cash to just the terrorists

ma_givecash #ct 16000 // gives cash to counter terrorists

ma_givecash #all 16000 // gives cash to everyone

ma_givecash "steamid" 16000 // gives cash to a particular player

 

I also want to hear what other admins feel about the use of this command.

I really don't use it that much I ma use at the very start of the game so we don't all get pistols to start out with

tbh i dont think its n eeded at all unless there are below 4 players in the game, ..

Yes, I agree with not giving out cash to everyone every few minutes. I was there yesterday and witnessed it.

 

For example, I played this morning with about 4-5 people and used a vote asking if they wanted me to give everyone money. Everyone voted yes so I did.

 

P.S. : I do plan to start being active on Armory Servers/Forums again especially the Counterstrike one since I'm an admin.

Hahaha i do give alot of cash out. Mainly when people ask. Though when there is more than 5 i try to limit it as much as i can. As for other admins giving themselves cash that is lame.

unless its me giving me cash.. that is fine and totally acceptible (so i can nuke ding with the autosniper once more)

That won't happen again.

The only time I give cash is when I give it to everyone after someone just gives themselves cash. Sure its a perk of being an admin, but I still think it unfair. I've already brought this up at some point with you, Murd. But if you don't want me to do that, I wont.

Arab, no its ok. I appreciate the criticism and I understand where you come from. I have considered completely removing its use. I am thinking that maybe I should reserve its use for Official Armory Server admins and Senior Council and thats it.

That won't happen again.

keep telling ur self that ding cuz i got u with the auto sniper 30+ times.

 

the only time i use it is on myself when i join the server and everyone else alrdy has weapons. or if my team is loosing a lot i'll do it to help the team out.
