Can we trash the reg server or hide and seek server cuz they are dead. Then change one of them to the zriot like we had on the 2nd dedi because it was starting to fill up imo.

Let me put this straight. The servers: crackhouse, hide n' seek, scrim and all the tf2 servers were on a dedi that was owned by Guy. When he lost his job there, we lost the dedi. Those servers are not in our control and I have no idea why the hoster hasn't just switched that dedi off, or atleast wiped it clean. Either way those servers aren't there to be messed with. The servers: Reg, showcase, perp, zriot and a test server are also no longer available due to Amit not paying for the dedi. So, with both servers being unavailable, which server are we replacing for zriot?
Maybe surf skill/combat?
And I had no idea about the situation with guy's server O.O

we should replace the least-played server with zriot. zriot wasn't up for long at all, but it was always pretty populated.
edit: however only once the servers are all actually up and running and back to normal status

Agreed with Albania. zriot is one of the best mods i've ever played. Also, can someone explain to me the situation about Guy?
If we can't replace a server with zriot, atleast bring it back as an event like old school weekends,.

Hell no!
That server have potential, atm it's just lacking some attention by whoever is responsible of it. WHEN it was being maintained, a regularly maintained maplist, it actually was filled at many occasions. Shutting down the surf skill would be a huge mistake.
Not bringing zriot back would be a huge mistake...

If SG was going to shut down a server for zriot I'm sure they would start to look at how active servers are over, say a month period. When they have collected all the results, the least popular can be changed for zriot.
If not, well, it's the most logical thing to do...

zriot definetely has more players than crackhouse and HnS.

SG doesn't own those servers anymore.

In this case, we can only replace either
Deathrun - No chance
Jail Break - No chance
Minigames - No chance
Surf DM - Maybe, but unlikely
Surf Skill/Combat - Maybe, but unlikely
Zombie Escape - No chance
TTT - No chance
Neither of the surf servers should be replaced with zriot. I dont really care about DM, but definatly not skill/combat.

Why not just replace trikz.
Why not just replace trikz.
Because trikz uses like 0.1% of the dedis resources while zriot would take a lot more

true that
replace whatever surf server is more dead. Zriot always had players when it was up

One of my favorite game modes. Please bring it back!
If you guys really want zriot back then do exactly what Tweezy and Nishok did. Just ask Spartan for permission and make sure that you can pay it for for a while. I did enjoy playing the server itself but money seems to be a problem atm, so you guys will have to wait until we get donations rolling in again.
EDIT: Id suggest making a poll who wants it back or not.

Look at the servers we have right now. They are not even half full, and they normally don't fill up more than 50%, with the exception of only minigames. So I say we bring back zriot, and give it a shot. All it took was a few people from the SGzriot group to start mass inviting and we can get it kicked to a start. Remember zriot's last event on silenthill? That was fucking awesome. If you don't think so, stop camping on the rooftops where the zombies cant get you, and fight. Here's videos my friend put up aswell.
[CSS] SteamGamers presents: ZombieRiot pt. 1 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG9uzy6Ibzs)
Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lKL3R9BjNk&feature=related)
Part 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwRMF1fs2wI&feature=related)
Part 4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-C6Pmy8DY4&feature=related)
Oh yes, silenthill.
THAT was awesome - there was no camping(except using the restaurant as a fallback zone) , we all fought together, there was a true horror/survival feeling and we managed to successfully kill the werewolves.
A good Zriot server would have a lot of these moments, and I believe an SG Zriot server could easily have the potential and support to be great.
Edit: Dont forget the other parts

I would also like to add this - I have never EVER played in a server like SGzriot before that was as fun, nerve-wracking, and full of teamwork. Why? In this server the buytime was either 60 or 90 seconds, and that's it, so teammates MUST use all their money on the round to supply their teammates with weapons when they respawn. Secondly, you could not buy health, which made it A LOT tougher to survive. Also, these zombies all have something special that makes the round extremely difficult, such as the trolls (tonnes of health), fast zombies (fast as fuck), headcrabs (very fast, hard to hit), spiders (scares the shit out of arachnophobic people xD) and the crows (High jump, fast as fuck, hard to hit). VERY few servers are like this, which is why I had such a good time playing on SGzriot.

Jeez, I stop playing css for a couple of months and Zriot is gone? Bring it back >:O! Anybody who has played it cannot deny the many lulz we had as a team, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people can vouch for me when I say it was epicness.

Is zriot the same as Zombie Hell? If so, I say we should bring it back. It was fun when there were people on the server.

Yes, it is exactly the same thing.

Bring it back! The Zriot server was always popular and it had a good playerbase. ZE is now empty more or less everyday and we need more people to play on SG as our main player base now doesn't really play anymore.

The zriot server always had atleast 2 or 3 random people playing on it, if not, me and Hunter/Zombiephobia/Knife and a few other people would be on inviting people through the SGzriot group.
Just to add - whenever we invited our friends or the zriot group the server would be filled with friends,regulars and randomers within 30 minutes.
