All of Cameron Munroe's suggestions have been implemented.
There is now a 256Bit SSL certificate protecting the entire website.
Server hosts can win prizes too now. Refer the most players and you win the
prize.
November's server prize is $250 USD.

This whole thing looks like a poorly thought out lottery where the
primary purpose is making money off server owners. How are you going
to use the quake protocol to identify players when Steam allows
multiple people to have the same name?

Depends on which country you're in I suppose, but speaking for the
netherlands I think you're right and setting this up without a licence would
be illegal.

Capture The Prize is not a lottery. If i were charging players to join or win,
then yes it would be a lottery. But im not, so its a contest.
Yes servers can run their own contest, but they can be a pain to track and they
have to provide the prizes themselves. With this contest server hosts
Hello Fellow Server Hosts,
I've been operating my own game servers for the past 7 years for my clans and
gaming communities and the same thing keeps happening at random times; traffic
dies. This can generally be attributed to hundreds or even thousands of other
servers popping up (TF2
Rather than acting as a solution to almost any of the scenarios posed in

Hello Jeff,
Thanks for the constructive idea's. I actually haven't thought about that. But
you make some really good points.
When 10 more premium servers are registered, the 3rd prize tier will go live.
The prize will also be $50 - but as the contest grows this will increase.

So I am going to make some points for other server owners, admins, and
players who are thinking about this.
First off this really isn't going to benefit most of you unless you fork
over the $5. Those servers get X2 points meaning that you would need
someone on your server to place twice as
I had tried to remain a bit more neutral and speculative than negative last
night until I read through things in more depth. Having now done so, I can
comfortably second the majority of what Cameron wrote here. Seems like bad
news, and a money grab at that (ie. he conveniently forgot to answer the
I'll address all your valid points:
The Premium/Standard server packages are not set in stone. I'll rework them to
make it more fair.
Once a larger player/server base has joined, i'll increase the prize amount and
add more prizes.
As for the idlers cheating. This has been alleviated via
It's my priority for this contest to be as fair to the players and servers as
possible (within reason).
What do you think about the following change to the Premium/Standard packages:
The $5 premium fee will be removed. All servers start out as a standard server
(+1 point). When a server
I'll respond to what I can, as I can't respond to things that have not
been set in stone. :)
As for the idlers cheating. This has been alleviated via a 3 hour
expiration. Every 3 hours you must refresh your server activation or
else it expires and you don't gain anymore points.
Then
Already have a captcha in place for server activation (Google Recaptcha).
It was always my plan to have kick ass prizes. In fact the very first prize i
launched with was $500 (for each prize), but only 6 people played and it wasnt
feasible for a prize that big for 6 people so i lowered it to
Oh and i made a mistake a few replies ago.
It's not a lottery. It's a contest because contestants dont have to buy entry
into the contest.

Most of the players under 13 are the bane of server operators. Aside
from having high pitch whiny voices, they usually break the most rules
(as least from what ive seen on my Garrys Mod Servers). So from a server
admin perspective, its a good thing they aren't allowed to participate.
