SolarCat! Rotation or not ?
SolarCat! Rotation or not ?
ok I was wondering should I make solarcat a rotation?
what you you all think?
if it was a rotation I would be hosting tankball2 and my 4team ctf on 2 hr rotation

Hmmm... XP - You should hold a name submission session and field some ideas. You don't HAVE to "name" your server anything. I mean, you could use an IP address instead of a web addy, and in the description sent to the server list, you could just describe the map and that be it.
But we all want our servers to have quirky names that'll stick & be remembered by the players, which is why for my server, I opted for a name rather than have "I Died Once's server" or "Vader's Place"
Yeah

hehe! Hepcat the one and only, the original hosted by cosmos. It went down. Silver Fox hosted the maps instead, using the name Hepcat, so the regulars could find it. then the original Hepcat came back up. Then it went down. SilverFox with jomojo decided to provide secondary hosting for it. Cosmos asked that they would not use Hepcat, as he owned the domain.I_Died_Once wrote:Thats funny - I always thought of silvercat as being a rip off of Hepcat. So, if SolarCat is a rip off of silvercat, which is a rip off of Hepcat...birdie wrote:you try to be like silvercat?
name..rotation..whats next?
...I dare you to change it to PussyCat
Silvercat and Jomojo respected that request and named it silvercat, which cosmos liked and "authorized it." So i don't see Silvercat as being a ripoff of hepcat, but a back up of it. Solarcat I see as a ripoff. Having an original, and then a substitute is perfectly understandable, and the 2 are related in themes, maps and settings. But having solarcat, which is not congruent to the other 2 themes... just smacks of poor creativity and an attempt to "fit in."
Beware! I'm going to clone myself and spread those clones all over the world!
well I didn't realize that cat was in the name until after I created the ip alais ( not kidding here)
I just thought it had a "snap" to it!
what about "SolarX"?
or "SolarBoom" ?
Ideas welcome (not dorky ones)

I think rotations can be annoying. Make sure your time is good. Silvercat's problem is that every time you start to get a good score the server changes maps I guess that's ok.
If you changed maps every day it would be like a rotation.
Uh, it appears many people have problems with the name of your server. They can call it a rip if they want. All right, I'll try to think up some names.
Solar-anythingyouwant is fine I guess. If you name it Solaranything I'm sure that will be fine. It just appears Solarcat isn't accepted.
Your maps are both very good. It's up to you which one you want up. I'd suggest going with the one that is more popular.

Ok, poll to see who thinks solarcat is a ripoff name? I vote yes! Seriously Win Xp, before you go and make many fancy (or lack thereof) maps, get a more original server name.me1 wrote:same here.RPG wrote:ditto.cosmos wrote:I vote that you get an original server name!
and i vote that you have a tankball-4-ctf, and that other map you were working on rotation
*coguh off topic*
ice wewe as I recall as we where sitting in science class while no life lady was poking you (don't ask) you said I should add cat in my name it wasn't my idea
and this thread isn't about the name!
there is a solarcat name thread
I do admit that isn't very good name but does it really deserve all this flaming! maybe I should start flamimg the book that just came out called solarcat too cause they have the name cat in there name too!
do a google search everyone see how many things come up as solarcat !
and Ice Wewe don't dis my maps they seem to do better than all of yours
