1 It has been over a month since LuckyBicz left SWAT. How hard has it been to fill the legacy he has left in Suspects Heaven?
Yeah, of course, we did have a bit of difficulties while our 1st Generation Community Leader LuckyBicz left. But he did not leave us without notice. He did announce his retirement from }S|H{ Community and discussed with some of the 2nd Generation Community Leaders (}S|H{TiredLookInHisEyes, }S|H{SsssS, }S|H{DRD). As a community, we could handle very quickly after LuckyBicz left over because we are well organized community among Swat4 gamers.
2 What is your opinion of other established BS clans such as SWT, as well as newer clans such as GA?
SWT did well from time to time. They reformed from fallen clan TE (TruEvil Clan) and they are a really established BS clan now. For GA, I don't really know about them.
3 Apart from BS, which other game mode do you prefer if any (and why)?
We have AAR game mode server beside our BS public server. AAR mode is good game mode developed by MarkieBoy. I think, you do know about the game mode and it is very interesting to arrest all the opponents to win the round quickly. And also very difficult to rescue your teammate to avoid losing the round. So AAR mode should become popular among swat4 servers and that is the reason why we played AAR.
4 The never-ending debate about which version is better – 1.0 or 1.1; what is your view on this?
Ummm, actually I would recommend TSS if you ask me which version you should play. Because TSS have new weapons, new maps, new skin and ability to choose skins, new tazer gun which can shoot twice. :D :D :D Am I out of your question? :D :D Let's get back to your question. Well, version 1.0 is still popular because version 1.1 need patch file and most of the swat4 players are kids. They would come into game server after buying swat4 v1.0 CD and they won't try to upgrade version 1.1. Most of them didn't even know that version 1.1 exists.
5 How would you advise avoiding recruiting clan-jumpers who have the sole aim to obtain a high rank and admin power?
I think, I could not advise at this point. Many clans are recruiting new members and they can't know what is the new member's real intention. We are not GOD. But our }S|H{ community use a voting system and all SuperAdmins, Admins will vote for the new candidate. It is not easy to become }S|H{ member. We do not recruit who only play for score. Our member doesn't need to be a high quality player. They should be active in the game. The player should be friendly, show teamwork, be helpful. In this way, we can be long lasting. Those are facts why we }S|H{ remains alive today.
6 If one of your friends was caught on UAC, would you do what most seem to do and give them a second chance (with a clean second account)?
I would be shocked if any SH member were to cheat. We usually give our players a probation period and get to know them before they become members. But, if a friend were to be caught on UAC, we make decisions based on diplomacy, so a voting system would decide whether that member gets another chance.
7 What is your opinion of SoH vip clan, and do you feel sorry for their junior members who do not have a clue as to the activities of the guys above them (clan control)?
Sorry, but I really have no knowledge of how the SoH clan operate, so I can't answer your question.
