    Hey there! I thought this could be a fun giveaway.

    Answer these questions and I will pick the one I think fit most.

    Timzone?
    Why do you want the server?
    If you get it, what kind of server will you make it?
    How many would play on it?


    That is all!

    Please do NOT PM me with the replies. Post in this thread.

    Timzone? UTC/GMT +1 hour.
    Same as you, Swefox. I think.
    Why do you want the server?
    I have a fairly large clan that plays Starbound a lot...
    The only person that promised to host a server for us had left for personal reasons, so we are left with nothing.
    Playing together would be most highly fun.
    If you get it, what kind of server will you make it?
    I'll make it a clan server c:
    My clan will play on it, and i will sometimes let in non-members to check it out. Building, PvPing, Exploring and such.
    There's no end to what we will do, really. Back in the Terraria days we spent massive loads of time on our Teraru server.
    We did things like this. Always flooded with people on it.


    Yeahp. Clan server.
    How many would play on it?
    Depends. My guess is a steady ten-twenty people. A server would cause a member boom in the clan, so It's hard to predict.
    I have a group of close friends in the clan that will probably play all the time.

    I will admit, the clan has been running slow lately - for a number of reasons. But a server would give us a massive boost.
    A server of our own would be pretty awesome to have.

    I guess so :). Please just answer this though, why haven't you split the cost and rented one? They are disgustingly cheap already. What will you do when the month runs out?

    I know the question is directed toward Steam Pirate, but I have to ask, how cheap is disgustingly cheap?

    Well, at more than one time we've wanted to set up donations for a server, but as Steam Pirate previously stated, the clan has been losing productivity. If we were to have a server for a month, we would be able to split the cost more evenly, as we expect more people to join or come back, but if we were to do it now, more than likely, it would be a single person paying for the entire server.

    Is it because the person who were hosting left?

    Do you think you would be able to continue the server after 30 days or will it go back to the same fate as now?

    I apologize for taking so long to answer, but I wanted to get out of class before I did.

    No, we were planning on doing this before the person left, but he was one of the people who was willing to contribute and was the person who we planned on controlling the server. After he left, we wanted to set up a PayPal account, but only one person was willing to pay, and, as you can imagine, when someone has a luxury, such as a server, and it is taken away, they are more likely to fund its continuation.

    We have about 20 people who are currently active, the server is about $13 per month, which I am only rounding for purposes of quick calculation, plus $1.25 per person after 8 people, which means a server would cost us about $28, which is approximately $1.4 dollars per person, excluding the fact that some people truly can not pay.

    If we were to win this competition, I believe we would be able to convince members of contributing to the server fund, but if for some reason we were unable to, I believe it would take some time to come up with an alternate plan.

    Seeing as no one else is interested and you've explained what I wanted to know there is no reason you can't have it.

    So let me PM you with details and thats it!
