People don't hate the Hunger Games, and they don't hate Hunger Games servers. They are actually REALLY fun. What people hate, isn't even just the abundance of servers. What people hate is the pathetic, 3rd grade rank constant SPAM of servers where people just load a map and throw up an IP promising an awesome Hunger Games experience.

This server in the picture, this is the COMPLETE post for the server, and it has over 80 diamonds. They couldn't even spell "serevr" right, and yet tons of people come expecting an amazing experience, only to have them shut down after 2-3 days clogging up the front page for the next week because the 60 people forced to diamond the server to even play had had their dreams of participating crushed.

What happens 95% of the time is someone new to server making decides they want to make one, and they assume they can just make a Hunger Games server, because they have no idea how complicated it is. They make a promising (or in the above case, utterly horrifying) post filled with ambition and claims of glory, only to realize they have no idea what they are doing, and give up. What happens, is they demand that people diamond the server to even play on it, and the 50+ contestants looking for a legit server have no choice but to blindly diamond and hope for the best.

So what I am saying to new server makers: ACTUALLY MAKE A WORKING SERVER BEFORE MAKING A POST. DON'T JUST TRY TO MAKE A HUNGER GAMES SERVER WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE JUMPING AND FAILING TO MAKE A SERVER.

What I am saying to the potential contestants: Please don't diamond these servers that look like a blind 10 year old made them. And if you do, and it doesn't work out, PLEASE UN-DIAMOND them!!! Nobody, not even people like me and some others who have legitimate HG servers want to see 3+ fail servers clogging the popular reel every day.

Also, if you DO want to make a HG server, MAKE YOUR OWN MAP. This is what pisses me off the most. My staff and I are working every day to set up the arenas and districts for the server, and I see 100's of what I call Plug'n'play servers with the exact same "Survival Games" map on the front page. I understand that you want to make a HG server like alot of others, but try to have even the slightest bit of originality, would you?

Please leave feedback in the comments with anything you want me to add.
