So.... I'm sure you've seen the svr at the top of the west coast lists, the Q-Clan. well they have it so their servers always say they have people playing. the custom server always says 17. always. the others say like 28 or 29 so theyre not so obvious but the custom svr ALWAYS says 17. and for the past couple of days i have been logging onto it cuz despite it not having 17 ppl, it does have at least 5 or 6 that in about 45 mins turns into a full boat. but today wasnt like the rest...
i woke up urly today cuz i past out at like 8 last night. I had dick to do so i got onto a dead TF2 to find even the q-clan dry as a bone. NEVER BEFORE has it been completely empty and this made me pissed. The way i figured was that they have been cheating me all this time but giving me a little back in return but today that 17/32 covered the truth that it was in fact empty/32 and it finally made me snap. so i logged onto the q-clan forum, registered, and posted...
"I know you guys are having it so your servers say you have 17 ppl playing when you don't so your svrs pop faster so you can exclude more people so you can get more donators (donators get preferentiated) and have more weed money. i get it. i just want to know how its done."
yea that got me banned in less than 5 minutes and im prolly banned from their svrs too now cuz i was a dumbass and used {pDs} Gnar as my login... but whatever. fuck em. they have queers playing all the time anyways. but the thing is....
WE SHOULD DO THIS TO GET THE SVRS POPPING ALL THE TIME! does anyone know how to do this? they arent using bots from what I can tell. Its just like they have a sticker over their svr population. Do they have a lil dicky sucky goin on with steam or is this something we could be doing?

Fail. Why would you want to chance alienating players by having them think they are joining a poulated server only to find out it's empty?

Yeah this would be fail. However.. since stats don't kick in until there are 4 players, it'd be cool if we had bots to at least put it to that level. 4 bots when nobody's on, 3 when there's one person, etc., until there are 4 actual players, stats running, and no bots. This might help boost an initial population (even if it's against bots), or at the very least would allow for some practice. P.S. That's of course assuming there are any bots created out there. I haven't looked.
