You could just give your money to Kenai, that would be simpler .
 
Sounds fun tho.

Hi, I am willing to fund an obscurity tournament if there is enough players interested. This mod is too underrated and I would like to attract new players. 
Is it something we can discuss ? Thanks

If you go to the homepage to the bottom of the page, you can see:
online members/mods, online staff, who was online in last 24h,
and how many people are online in general (it even says how many guests)..
 
#Edit: On the sidebar you can even see how many people are online on servers.
 
I think its pretty well covered.

Hey!
Hmm .. I think it would be cool to starting an old funny mod - Modern Paintball. - https://www.moddb.com/mods/pezbot-modernpaintball-2016.
 
"Modern Paintball emulates the real world FPS game played with CO2-cartridged guns that fire paint balls - not bullets. Ironically, a sport that tries to capture the magic of video games is now turned into...a video game! PEZBOT MODERNPAINBALL 2016"

I'm too interested
 

Greetings,

I have been playing on your server for a while now under a few different nicknames. As on every other HC server, camping is highly active, especially on maps such as Strike, Backlot and Pipeline. There is something I could suggest despite not being competent enough to talk about this topic. Instead of decreasing damage, throughout some period of time, you might consider taking away player's weapon. The principle is identical to camping "rule" you already have, just with minor tweaks. First part could be a simple warning to players, if a player refuses to obey the warning, a weapon gets taken away until player makes a few steps. It might not stop the camping completely, but it will certainly make some noticeable changes.

There might be some disagreements, but this problem is present each and every single game with 20+ players online. CTRL (Go Prone) which makes a player almost invincible on some maps. Although his damage is decreased to 34, a kill can get secured with 2 to 3 bullets, depends on which type of gun is being used, just by laying on the floor and not making a single movement. Imagine how frustrating it gets when you run across the whole map, just to get killed by the guy who went prone or crouched in the darkest spot of the map. As I already said, it can't be guaranteed that this will be highly effective, but at least for those who refuse to use their wasd keys, it might help a bit. However, spawn-trapping, camping from place to place will be there and there is no way it can be stopped. With damage decreased, and range brought to a bare minimum, the camping rule you have looses it's effect.

Dear @|Ao3| saaRloos
 
Thank you for your appeal, My search shows that the nickname of the ban was under 'DJ_Duck :D'  however there doesn't seem to be any proof for this ban reason and thus you will be unbanned. Please enjoy your gaming experience during your time on our Servers.
 
P.S; If you have any problems connecting please feel free to create a new post or message us on Discord.
 
 
-Ban Appeal Accepted

@Kenai,
I watched his demo. It looks very suspicious. No clear signs of use no smoke or wallhack. BUT there are suspicions of using aim assist.
Either other admins will consider this and issue their verdict, or we will unban it and put it under surveillance. 
My vote - permban.

@sanchejioo
Привет, на что нам записанные тобой же демки? Получать доказательства в невиновности от потенциального злоумышлиника - глупо. У нас уже есть доказательства, спасибо. 
------------------
Sorry for russian language.

Здравствуй. Если ты не часть санчелла, то сообщу тебе что твой ник мне очень давно знаком.
Возможно он даже присутствует на одном из моих немногочисленных роликов в ютубе.
Но попрошу тебя отказаться от высказываний или осуждений в адрес участников данного сообщества! Твои доводы совершенно необоснованны и неуместны!
Если тебя не устраивают действия администрации, то поменяй игровой сервер! 
 
Hello. If you're not part of sanchell, I'll let you know that I've known your nickname for a very long time.
He may even be present on one of my few YouTube videos.
But I ask you to refrain from making statements or condemning the members of this community! Your arguments are completely unfounded and inappropriate!
If you are not satisfied with the actions of the administration, then change the game server!

sanchejioo Приветствую тебя! Огромная просьба использовать по правилам данного сообщества английский язык.
 
Greetings to you! Please use the English language according to the rules of this community.
------------------------
 
Начну с того, что уже несколько раз у тебя был запрет из за оскорблений и плохого языка.
Так и на демо ты умудряешься игнорировать правила сервера и наносишь оскорбления игрокам.
Цитирую: " **** ты шавка квадратная", " ***** квадратная". Для чего ты выбираешь такую модель поведения, если знаешь что это пресекалось неоднократно?! 
 
To begin with, you've already been banned several times because of insults and bad language.
So on the demo, you manage to ignore the server rules and insult the players.
I quote: "* * * * you're a square mutt", "* * * * * square". Why do you choose such a model of behavior, if you know that it was stopped repeatedly?!
------------------------
 
Ну а основное это то, что администратор может дать постоянный запрет основываясь на демо.
Скриншоты здесь не причем. Другие члены клана могут в течении некоторого времени рассматривать твой вопрос! Примут решение снять запрет либо оставить его. 
 
Well, the main thing is that the administrator can give a permanent ban based on the demo.
Screenshots have nothing to do with it. Other members of the clan may consider your question for some time! They will decide to lift the ban or leave it.
------------------------
 
Ну а теперь мое решение по этому вопросу! Я полностью согласен с запретом который вынес Кенай!
На доказательствах много явных причин использования обманов (запрещенных программ).
Перечислять их не вижу смысла! Рекомендую тебе поискать другой сервер для игры! Всего хорошего! 
 
Well, now my decision on this issue! I fully agree with the ban that Kenai imposed!
There are many obvious reasons for using deceptions (prohibited programs) on the evidence.
I don't see the point in listing them! I recommend that you look for another server to play on! All the best!
 
 
 

Hello, @-ANTITELO- and thank you for your Appeal.
 
The ban reason is for 'No Smoke' which will be in the proof below the texts- As for the "Inadequate Admin" part, I will have to disagree with that. Feel free to explain to me about your predicament.
 
 
Please Note; The spoilers below this are your Screenshots.
 
The Screenshots in the Spoiler below are from my POV in almost the exact same spot(Granted it's not in the IceOps Server as Countdown wasn't on at the time of this post and thus I don't have the same FOV)
 
In my opinion, you went around a cheat protected command that is disabled. So I would deny this appeal because of the evidence provided above- However I will let other Admins put their input into the matter as well.
 
EDIT - This is the Demo in case no one found it-  ant1.dm_1

Hi all, 
 
For a long time now I have played on the HC cod4 server and the one underlying thing that has always irked me is the design of the spawn protection. While most of the time your firefights are with people who haven't just spawned in and therefore this isn't a problem with every kill/death, it is prominent enough to cause a particularly bs death at least a couple times per match at a minimum. 
 
Over time there have been thousands of these but this one just happened this afternoon and I thought it was the best one I had captured on recording yet and serves to illustrate the issue. In this example the player spawns and has the freedom to begin movement and see his surroundings. Upon which he spots me, moves, aims and kills me. 
 
On my screen I am running to the area behind the enemy lines when all of a sudden I hit an invisible wall. I turn around to see what it was and i'm faced with a guy preaimed at me and i'm dead before I could react. This experience made me think that I had encountered a glitch or perhaps a lag spike rather than a spawn as well so I was doubly unprepared.
 
All this because the spawn protection allows for full viewing of your surroundings, complete invisibility and invulnerability and the ability to move a short distance and begin to aim all without losing these advantages. 
 
In a previous instance I remember I had someone spawn in front of me while I was reloading, walk through me then become visible and knife me in the back. A completely unfair death as there was not a single thing I could do to have reacted or prevented it. 
 
 

Every opinion must be heard!
We must understand that only together we become stronger.
If any of us need help we must provide it! But there are also time-tested moments.
Let's try to take everything into account and make the right decision!

Really nostalgic screenshots. I remember a lot of good players, which, in turn, created a pleasant atmosphere of the game.
Congratulations to IceOps on the anniversary! This is a really strong date. I am proud that I am part of this community, that we are at least somehow developing. We are a large and multi-ethnic family, I love you all
 

Congrats on birthday, consistency and development of the IceOps community to the highest of the standards.
 
Keep it going guys!

Congratulations to all my brothers! 
We are a good team!
I'm proud to be here! 

The names, the memories, oh it's all rushing back!

It's amazing that IceOps is still chugging along when so many other CoD4 clans and communities have disappeared, but I'm glad to see it's still going after all this time. 

I do agree with this, Make it so I only do like 1/4 of the normal damage as a Survivor and 1/3 as the Obscurity xD

Happy Belated Birthday IceOps and the Community!
 
Loved this clan and Community since joining and it's still kicking even after a decade!
 
 
 
And here's looking towards another Ten Years!

 
 
P.S; Lot's of nostalgia from those Xfire Screenshots, Makes me wish Obscurity was as popular as it was back in those days, Even the Zom DB was fun when I played.

On the 20th may 2020, it was IceOps Gaming's 10 Year anniversary of being open. 
It was 10 years ago I (IJzzo) started IceOps in the beginning under the name Blue-Clan [Blu]. We started with multiple servers but two became very popular, Softcore mixed and Hardcore TDM.
 
After few month we did a merge our clan with few other players who had a clan called iPower. However we ended this relationship already after 1 week because there were (maybe unjustified) doubts they are clean players. From here we had to rename again and used IceOps as our name for the past 9 and a half years.
 
We added the mods Obscurity and Deathrun on our servers which became very popular and rose the interest in the IceOps community significantly. With the shutdown of the back then most popular Obscurity server "Retox Squad", our clan became the most interesting one for the Obscurity community and we got our second oldest member @Kenai who is still around today with us. I can not remember all the members we had before, over the years they were a lot, so I won't name any here.
When you have played on IceOps before 2015 then you are maybe interested in something we have prepared. The Xfire screenshots token by our players on our servers can be viewed now in the gallery under these links:

Obscurity + Zom DB
Deathrun
Deathrun#2 + Openwarfare custom maps
Hardcore TDM
Softcore Mixed
Openwarfare custom maps + (early)Deathrun
Sniperserver + Openwarfare2
Sniperserver + Deathrun#2
Promod
Zombies ZomDB
 
 
Time had been sometimes very hard with major internal conflicts, from today's point of few I had done some things different, but today we are still here and alive.
Over the time there has surely been some ups and downs. This could be from people leaving that were truly cherished at IceOps, to server updates and even brand new systems put in place for the better of the community like Sourcebans for example. 
Speaking now on behalf of the IceOps staff and myself, we would all like to say a huge thank you for continuing to be here. 
Running a community for so long has had its toll on the member count, but for the ones that are still here, you are not forgotten at all. We will surely be staying here running as long as you are here with us. 
 
Much Love
 
IceOps Staff

On s&d server so many people don't play xD
But, If I’m not mistaken, a script is running on the HC server that correlates the number of players with the size of the map.

Yeah, that's what I suspected when I said that I believe most of the Slavic languages will suffer from this problem
