Gamemode TTT Server

[Pollux]

We were talking internally about potentially doing small servers like this, but it really comes down to if we can do it while also focusing on the cityrp server. We'll discuss this more in our meeting later this week, however, it'll come down to if we're confident we're able to do something like this without distracting from our cityrp effort.

If anyone does have suggestions for what we could do feel free to mention it here and we'll see if we can - it doesn't have to be gmod. The ideal thing would be something low maintenance without much administration involved, as that way we can ensure it won't take away any effort from cityrp.

For this reason I put an edit in the OP that I don't think it should be listed with the other CityRP servers with a connect button, just maybe a forum post letting people know that it exists so as to not detract attention from the primary servers. Overall the goal is to garner interest in the community from random Gmod players who have never heard of FL, and to advertise the CityRP servers and hopefully entice them to join and wait out the download, having already interacted with some FL community members. As for delegating time and effort to an additional server, TTT is a very basic gamemode and I would assume to my knowledge that updates would not be necessary, but I would recommend a base gamemode TTT without any useless addons; I have joined many servers with so much random unnecessary content that the download took longer than FL and it still lagged when I finally joined.

I don't think we can really get away with doing the bare minimum though, especially in a gamemode space like TTT which has a lot of competition. The goal of any secondary server should be to gain additional players who wouldn't have otherwise found the community, and for that it has to be a decent server. Like sure we could easily throw up a base TTT server, but that won't attract anyone apart from those who already are on FL as nothing would set us apart from all the other servers out there. My main concern with any additional server is it taking away time or effort that could otherwise be put into the cityrp server, especially when it comes to development time.

I don't personally think a TTT server would be ideal just because of how much competition there is now, but other gamemodes or even games could work. I feel like it'd have to be short temporary stuff though rather than a permanent new thing.
