We are in the Atlantic Area.

Experience:
This Cal/TWL team will be composed of 3 different clans.

1) Team FMJ, is notorious for their championship roles in Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
2) Team STFU, is an amazing clan that used to dominate Soldier of Fortune 2
3) Team HellTonic, lacking experience, they make up for their massive amount of players, ranging from 16 years old to 40 years old. Last season they were 5-3. This season we are 3-0. (So Far.) And ranked #15
Our current servers (Dust 2, Office, and SURF) are rated # 1-5 in the UNITED STATES. With the announcement and advertisement through our website the servers we plan on producing are : Free For All Deathmatch, Stock Rotation, Private Cal/TWL/OGL/GO Server, Supervillian, and Custom.

It is the inevitable that not only will the server be popular within a week or two, but the server company will be known. We can guarantee that the server company is advertised in our soon-to-be advanced website, and our gameservers. We will even implement Advertisements on the walls of the Server maps. We currently have 85 Clan members in our clan(www.hellsgamers.com), that are still active.

Thank you for clicking on this thread, and more importantly thank you, for giving me the opportunity to post this.

You can contact me personally at my Xfire: Iamaninja, AIM Itsbruce1337. Thank you, again! Or you can post at our forums. www.live-and-let-die.com
(It was offline for a large amount of time, and we have lost many active people. But soon to be up when we get things rolling again.)

Why don't you give 100% of your donations to the sponsor?

[Iamaninja]

Because servers aren't the only things we are paying for. We have a 1000fps server that runs 100$ a month. A 100 Slot Ventrilo, (Trying to get URL downloads, 15$ a month), and a few other things like HlstatsX Pro, and what not. The thing is that I work part time at a nursing home and only get 8.00 an hour. I can't afford paying that every month, unless I plan on NOT eating for a month. Heh.

[Iamaninja]

I changed the percentage to 50% from 10%.

[Joe.F]

I may be interested in providing a free Vent server and perhaps gameserver.

Regards,
Joe

[Iamaninja]

Pm sent.

[Iamaninja]

Keep them coming.

[brutetal]

I might be able to offer a gameserver.
Need to ask some people.

[Decker]

You know your asking a lot and your paying in other places, can you ask the others to 'part sponsor other parts and share the glory' and at least balance the load.
Your ambitious I'll give you that, so best of luck.
I'm guessing you know you won't get it all thrown at you so your looking for other 'input' - go on ask we can take it :)

[shib]

the default CS:S server is 133 FPS. Thats at standard 33 tick. Do you mean you have a 100 tick server? thats about 600fps and the cost for a 10 man is about 30$

[Wojtek]

Then stop gaming, take that part time job, and get yourself something nice instead :rolleyes:
last time I looked 'Professional CS player' is not something employers look for on a CV :p

[Iamaninja]

The default server IS 33 tick. I'm hoping for a 66tick-100tick server.

"Do you mean you have a 100 tick server? thats about 600fps and the cost for a 10 man is about 30$"

If you mean, the private I'm paying for that is 1000fps, its brought by Summit Servers. The "High end Server division" from Velocity. It's a little bit more than 100.00 USD a month. Quite painful to the wallet.

"You know your asking a lot and your paying in other places, can you ask the others to 'part sponsor other parts and share the glory' and at least balance the load.

If you're asking, if I'll ask a sponsor to help pay for a certain server of mine, and perhaps benefit from using it/donation money, that I gladly accept. In fact, I'll gladly accept ANYTHING. At this point, I know a picker cannot be a chooser, I've been trying to find a decent public/private for a few good months now, and have come out with nothing but wasted time.

If anyone has ANY offers, whether it be financial help to pay for a server, PM me, we'll work out a deal.

But My offer still stands, 1 Server = 50% Donation Keep.

The only thing I'm truly asking is that if you DO supply us with some sort of sponsorship, is that you give us a short amount of time to bring it up to par with other servers. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks to get it popular and well known.

I'm only a college student will alot of time. me, "not eating for a month" was just humor. I can afford payments with little to no pain. It's just 250$ a month, kind of gets redundant after the first 4 months. Besides I work 40 Hours a week, I guess in a way it isn't a part time job, my fault for miswording.

[Iamaninja]

To everyone, just reply to this thread or PM me, if interested.

[Dan]

I honestly thing that people believe that servers etc grow on trees.
You are asking for way too much man. Don't be so choosy when asking for something for free.

[Iamaninja]

I dunno what to ask for anything less, I'm not asking for all of it, I'm asking if it would be possible to either, provide a server, provide partial payment or anything they can offer that would benefit everyone mutually.

They get ads, and payment.

Not quite, how about all the game players, they benefit, if they don't have enough then they pay for more simple math.

If your actually serious and not just saying your good that is :evilb:

Tell the rest to put their money where their mouth is - no crap about I'm better than they are.....

Then you can pay for what everyone else has to.

[Joe.F]

Nicely said, decker! :evilb:

they do grow on trees, don't they?:P :P

I don't understand exactly what you're saying. You mean that the only people that are benefiting are the people playing in the servers?

[Iamaninja]

Would this be more understandable to everyone.
I'll pay the sponsor 15$ a month, or give them 50% of donations?

[RavenServers]

We have a website that is generously sponsored by Raven Hosting.

Hi, just need to rectify, it's RavenServers ;)

Nice to have you as one of our sponsorships.

And you got that from where?

[Iamaninja]

I really mean it though, I'm VERY appreciative about you sponsoring. I was going to ask you on AIM for paypal donations toward you (we got a few donations) but I haven't seen you around. PM me.

[eg0_]

No wonder good teams find it harder and harder to get contacts with sponsors.

meaning he's asking for too much?

Hi,

We don't officially support AIM as a means of communication. We primarily use MSN Messenger and E-Mail.

No donations are at all required, we only hope you enjoy your account and wish your team the best ;)

Best wishes

Nope, I mean the way he asks. Also don't think their team has much of advertisement value.

[AvailNetworks]

most teams who are offered a 100% sponsorship bring new business. Problem is that this new "business" is generally other clans wanting to get sponsored too. Most teams seem to use their free server as bragging grounds rather than a sales tool like the host would hope. Not saying you will but all the teams I have 100% sponsored in the past, that was all they brought and of course they were higher ranking teams too.

Here is what I have done with quite a few clans and it has proved quite successful and it may work well for you ninja if a company is willing to do this for you.

Offer them a server at normal pricing. For each other clan they refer they will get a .75c/slot discount on a monthly basis. example: refer a clan who purchases a 10 slot server, you would get a $7.50/mo credit for as long as they hold their server.

This offers incentive to accomplish the following:

1. Holds the host liable for providing a stable and well supported service, they can't pull out the "you are getting it for free, deal with it" line

2. Holds the team responsible for bringing new clients in and actively promoting because it benefits them in a big way, I have several clans who are not only getting their service for free but who are earning money.

most common arguments for this type of plan:

"can I have it for free for a (month, week, etc), I GUARANTEE you will have clans all over you"

A: Offer them a sign on perk if they get 1 new client then their first month will be free.


the reason this is also quite successful is that they team cannot advertise they are being sponsored by us. They can refer, but they are not permitted to tell the world what is going on.
