Not trying to formalize what exactly "serious" would mean just yet, but I wanted to gauge interest and see if anyone had opinions on the matter.

Edit: RyanHighman worded this quite well:
Same ruleset, stricter enforcement. We have all the rules we need, but the difference is that on modded it's become very relaxed.

IDK man I think calling it "serious" would turn people off. Who wants to join a Serious server?

Are we talking about a different ruleset? Or are we talking about branding the vanilla server as “Serious”

you guys all just repeated my joke but okay whatever.

What exactly does making it "serious" actually entail? Stricter rules? Heavier punishments?

I would vote for stricter rules regarding metagaming, propfighting, propflying, ‘minigames’ like c4 roulette on this server, and maybe we should implement some sort of ranking system and make this “competitive TTT”.
Ghosting ultimately should result in a much heavier ban only on the serious server too imo.

I feel like I know a couple players that would love to mod this server.

Just some rough thoughts to put into writing.

- Take off the boosted punch-o-meter for VIPs.
- Put an emphasis on maps with less props by default (Westwood for example)
- Staff/regulars need to stop the meta gaming. Harder punishment for it and in general causing chains.
- Any map that has distractions from the actual gamemode, like Orange's color game, be either removed or edited so they can't be played.
- Leaderboard for round MVP, least RDMs (to really counter chains and careless kills), DNA Scans, etc.

Personally I'm whatever about it, but if it is what people want then I'm up for it.

Good idea but I don’t think staff would want to staff this server nearly as much as the other one and staff is half the player base at this point and do half the repops. I feel like the server would be just as dead as vanilla

A new ruleset would mean harder training and less staff wanting to learn new rules. And is vanilla gonna get even more dead? I think it’s worth a shot
