As we are becoming bigger, and bigger we need to figure a way to make a growing population on our servers. Day of infamy has been a success since getting into it. As a way to get individuals we have offered a 20 dollar giftcard for whoever can get #1 on the server with GAMEME.

I want other Ideas so that we can keep the community that involves the 34th thriving, and successful.

Someone mentioned "fun/weekend" events with other units on DOI. With DoDS, we can do the same thing with friends we are friendly with.
Intra-Unit Scrims and situational training. An easy way to not only change things up, but develop future leadership for short-term vacancies and long-term roles as well.
Medals/Promotion Tracking. Setting up some sort of equation (either on Excel or Google Sheets) to compose of multiple points that would aid in getting promotions/promotion board.

I think if we just set the map to popular maps like donner, anzio, kalt. We may not enjoy the maps but pubbers enjoy them. Additionally, having us join up every-night and always having an admin presence in the server whenever possible will help. I believe the server will start to become popular and self-sustaining if we make this effort.

What we need to do is (unless otherwise planned/coordinated) keep the server as a public server once we reach over 11v11. This will establish a consistent player base and keep our realism-lovers in as well. Further, we need to establish a consistent server map rotation (like donner, flash, avalanche, kalt, colmar, etc.) so that, unless the server mptimelimit is set to 0, it will go ahead and go to a fresh map every 30 minutes or whatever.

Their is a reason, I state this my job kills my chances to be effective for the meetings that are mandatory on Sunday's, the times they want to hold them. I'd be lucky if, I had the time to pop in cause i leave here at 1130 12pm est. So if, I want to be a more active member. I'm going to have to take on a more active role here during the week nights and after. December 3rd my buddies and, I will be holding a Table top game that will eat up my play time in the afternoon's on line for our Marvel table top or some D20 system game like Pathfinder.

Command: What do you hear, Starbuck?
