A message to all people that attempt to bring back SST or Nutz.
Nutz is the domain of Rezyn, it is solely his server and not mine nor was it ever Bissigs. Any attempts to bring back Nutz are to be directed at REZYN. I can lead you in any directions you need, but do NOT waste my time. The last thing I need is to have to post to a bunch of emails that come to no avail.
Now, for SST:
SST was originally founded by Myself and Paradox. Paradox formally left, and I instituted Rezyn to maintain the server. I sold the server to -the community- with Bissig as the sole keep of the server. It was his duty and responsibility to maintain the server, to which he loved to do. He did not have to, in any way, shape or form continue to pay for or maintain the server - but he did willingly. However, in his absence, since the server was sold -to the community-, it appeals to fall back on me to decide the fate of the server.
My decision was simple, based upon my circumstances. Since I cannot maintain the server for several reasons (money, time, etc, but with money being the main one), my decision is to allow another Sole person the ability to maintain and uphold SST until Bissig's return (should he ever decide to come back). It is technicolly his server, and he is the one with the rights to everything.
So, anyone that wants to bring back SST must maintain these characteristics:
SST will be ORIGINAL. No mods, no crackpot unlimited bp stuff, etc.
All settings will remain - the same -
A Plan must be setup, in full and complete, for how SST wil be brought back up. (Advertisement scheme, website, government, admins, etc)
SST must be on a -stand alone, dedicated server-. No VPSs, no Shared servers, no game hosts, etc...
An OPEN BOOK donation amount.
Any and ALL decisions will ultimately (for the time being) go through ME via email. If you can't handle being told what to do, even if you ARE paying the bills, don't - DONT - DO NOT contact me. All attempts to bring back SST have failed due to this one simple request, including Dan Locks (owner of X server's attempt). You spend thousands of dollars on something you loved, then have someone come and tell YOU how you should do it.
What -I- will offer:
My advice, support, and knowledge on every aspect of the server
My ability to get a REASONABLE (if not extraordinarily good) pricing on a server in a GOOD location. I have leeway in a few DCs that would allow me to get you a server for a good price.
The knowledge of how SST's government worked, didnt work, etc.
History - After all, knowing why things did/didnt work helps you prevent mistakes.
An 'Always recieve a reply' relationship. You will never go a time without recieving messages from me in an emergency.
So, these are my demands/request. Anyone henceforth that is TRULY interested in bringing back SST may contact me.
