both servers or neither because they both need population roughly equally as much

Basil for casuals and newfags, Sybil for veterans

You do the hokey pokey and you turn around!

Do you even RP?

Let me tell you a secret. Both servers think they're more robust, but after my experience playing on both of them for years, I'd have to say they're almost entirely equal.

Probably because all the robust vets got burnt out and left, the reputation is an old one.

This pretty much sums up 99% of server vs server arguments.

Honestly I actually like both, they are different, but only like different toppings on the same /tg/ flavoured ice-cream.

Sprinkles on shitcream is still shitcream.

I really don't see the point of Basil being on the hub in the long term if Basil is supposed to have slower rounds and a more laid back atmosphere with more sportsmanship. Why fill it with a ton of people who, while there are quite a few good ones, a lot know next to nothing or just flat out act like shit. Its population when it was off the hub briefly of 30-50 during prime North America hours before dipping below 20 late night seemed perfect for cultivating the kind of atmosphere we wanted.

Is there is some kind of good argument for it being on all the time that I have never seen?

While I agree that basil gets a lot of population when its on the hub-that doesn't necessarily make it good population. I have no qualms with it getting that extra boost time to time, but with basil striving to be that medium roleplay laid back atmosphere server of the two we have available... It makes it difficult. I have to agree with owegnos post, the population we had when it was off the hub just recently was absolutely perfect. Mornings and nights were the good, lower 20 pop and mid day went around 30-50. There are plenty of hub players who are good intentioned-albiet uneducated-but we also get a lot of griefers and just absurdly rude, unfun people.

Aside from the population, I'm going to have to agree... is there any good argument for keeping it on?

I think its run is course, at least opening the gates for a little while helped get some fresh players and certainly revitalised basil. Now we just have to maintain it and stop civil wars.

Are we still on the hub? Because evening pop hovers around 60-70 still and i cannot stand it

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! GET RID OF THE HUBBIES!!

But in all serious they are horrendous please take off.

Jesus this is hellish, they're swarming into medical and chem and they're so bad it's actually painful.

we need a new LBM, I will gladly accept the position if kor is willing

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahsh

No, we don't.

It seems that everyone on Basil, at least those that ever talk in OOC or deadchat, hates the hub. Nobody on Basil wants it, and for the reasons I stated above it gives no benefits and is in fact a detriment. So why is the Basil still on the hub?

The hub isn't on Basil.

But Basil shouldn't be on the hub.

Because it annoys the RP dorks that ruined server 2 in the first place.

A lot of Sybil regulars have started jumping onto Bagil to robust pubbies, hilariously making Sybil even lower population than before. 55 on Bagil vs 17 on Sybil.

Is this irony?

it's beginning then

Basil becomes a reskinned original sybil, coming this summer, 2016.

> It's evening in Russia, sybil is dead with 20+ players.

WAKE ME UP

Try to join Bagil.
Only option is assistant, everything else has been taken.
On bagil.

RIP Basil, the Sibocalypse is here.

People gave plenty of good reasons why it should not go back on the hub right away. We heard maybe one or two people who said it should go back on right away, neither of which really held much water. And yet it went back up anyways and we are now swamped with 85 players and sybil has 31. I hope whoever made the call is fucking happy with themselves.

>Implying that the person who did this actually plays on the server in question.
U havin a laf m8

The server should now be off the hub.

Alright back to the other thread

Everyone got bored of Overwatch and the summer silly season has finally arrived.

> Basil is not on hub anymore
> Still twice Sybil's online

W E W L A D

Give it a while.
Eventually the shitters will leave or migrate to their containment pen.

I miss old bagil. The Head roles are being staffed 99% of the time by cunts, RP is dead and rounds are lucky to hit fifteen minutes before shit goes tits up.

Thats not entirely true. I think you taking a few key rounds from last night and making them into "ALL ROUNDS".
We've also had an influx of new players before it was removed from the hub, so it might take a few weeks to make sure they understand how basil works (read: beat them into shape).

I have every faith in our current set of admins frequenting Basil though. If you feel like something is amiss please feel free to ahelp if you see me on and I can try to do what I can do make things more basil and enjoyable for all.

We spent about fifteen minutes wrestling with a HoP who REALLY REALLY wanted his 2 and a half hour extended round to carry on and kept recalling the shuttle from a hidden console in maint. Then he got admin-thrown out of the room and PAS dropped a bomb on the console BUT WAIT! The idiot had instantly ran right back in after explicit centcomm announcements saying "no" and even after having a new body made bitched in ahelp for the rest of the round about all his loot that was destroyed.

Oh, so that was what that was all about.

That's why you fill the room with spiders, or mash the meteor button until it hits him. Sometimes it might take 5 presses of that meteor button. You mash that fucking meteor for the good of the server.

Meteors are broken, we had to manually throw all the meteors.

(That made it so much more satisfying though)

drop 5 10 20s everywhere they're pretty accurate substitutes

possess a supermatter shard and chase him with it

At least gib.
Gibbing is customary.

Nah. Deleting is funnier than gibbing because it cucks people harder.
I've had people get super salty because they got deleted instead of gibbed.

Then why is PAS trying to do just that with comments like this.

Each person has different opinions. I strongly disagree that we need a specific headmin or leader-type figure for basil, but rather encourage that our headmins associate themselves with both of our servers.

I can speak out as an admin, I can collectively say what I think we're all thinking, any other admin could very very easily have said, "I'm not sure I agree with that". I'm on the same level as any of the other admins who play there who will say there preferences or collective ideas out loud.

Also is there something you specifically disagree with in that statement? You said you didn't like it on the server because it was unfair to reconnecting hubbies, which we mentioned wasn't the case given that its no longer on the hub.

Its also hard to deny that TLBM did a lot of good for basil whilst being a subhead. It certainly both revitalised basil and gave it a definable taste. Not detracting from the fact that other admins had a huge play in this as well, it was just nice the ideas were collected and centralised by one person, who could then talk it though with the heads.
