Nice way to start off your hosting reputation.

Too many people feel the need to flame instead of giving advice.

Why do you see it as flaming? Are people calling you dumb? Are people calling you stupid? Are people calling you ANYTHING? They are giving their opinion about you hosting a game. If you can't deal with that how are you possibly gonna handle a situation that may arise in a game?

This thread was just a general inquiry but I guess you decided to turn it into a thread directed at you. And a number of well respected members of the community that also are respected game hosts have voiced their opinions. And this is how you react?

Yeah its like that on ASC don't worry about it too much, that happens its just a way to see if you can survive the flames and come out on top. Most of the time noobs go on a rampage of posts.

Anyway if its making people too anxious I can confirm with you on Oct 19 if I can come to Co-host

So for now lets put the flamethrowers to rest and see how things turn out, then judge.

I'll leave the rest of the discusion up to you guys i think i have my game set on the right track at the moment . feel free to discuss other Noob hosts

We are not flaming you. By we I am reffering to coach, steve, ect who have played at this CQB. We know what it takes to host, and play at this game. We are against a different set of rules just because "you feel like it" mentality, maybe its not you, put perhaps your 4 un-named friends who have 360+ fps guns and dont want to spring swap.. seen it happen before at a game hosted by an unknown to the game. Its been mentioned before, over the summer the night game, the attempted rip off game, ect. Its all caused us to raise our eyes to things that are out of the norm and just seem taylored to fit what you want, not whats safe and accepted.

Don't get so defensive and then stomp away all butthurt. Lots of people here have large amounts of hosting experience and you would do well to pick their brains for advice.

Do your self a big favor— ask a
regular from CQB who's got hosting
experience to help you at least for
this 1st time.

If your willing to do that people
may change their tune.

Do nothing and change nothing.

Correction

I volunteered, no one asked me to do it, I decided on my own accord cause I like CQB field and I do not want something to go wrong and the future players not being able to use it

[KoolAidMan]

i worded that wrong he volunteered and i accepted .Thank you .

[Rock 'N' Roll Outlaw]

And if I remember right, KoolAidMan is gonna be playing the game, so essentially the game will be hosted by cbcsteve since hes a non-combatant.

Which if it comes to that the game will be reported in the AAR as hosted by me and not Koolaid but it is up to you Koolaid to work it well, I will report in the AAR objectively and have a checklist in my mind.

But if it ends up me having to take over hosting that means you should not host in the future and take more time going to games and getting your rep up.

I'm here to help but I won't be babying you all the way.
