From now on (actually: starting either the 15th if enough people react fast enough, or the 1st if people need more time) anyone, or perhaps groups of people can get their own skin and/or voicepack on the PM servers.

The simple version:

3 slots, just mail me on the forum (dont post it here) what you are willing to pay for a skin or voice over the next month. If you're the top3 and send a tasteful skin/voice you will get it for that month.

The details:
- We have 3 'slots' for either skins or voices. Also a hard limit of 2Mb total maximum download. If your skin is larger than 2/3 Mb (rounded up) you pay E1 per 100k over the size limit.

- Every every month people can bid, minimum bid is E5, if you want to be sure you get a slot or like punt so much you can bid more You can just bid once so make it good. Others will not know what you've bid. (you mail me personally). Top 3 win

- If you have a slot and are bidding for the next month it sounds a fair 'extra renewal right' that you will get one more shot at bidding if you are outbid. You will get a mail saying you're too low and you can do a second try.

- A player pays for 28 days (unless its february; 26) and gets 30/31 days, but therefore has no right to bitch unless the server downtime is over 3 days (72 hours). I realise that it's hard to check actual downtimes, but we can try.

- If the server has a long downtime then we will just start the new month a few days later. If the server goes down forever, sucks to be you. We will of course not let a new month of bidding start if we expect the server to go down permanently any time soon.

- Having a skin gives you NO extra privileges; if you cheat or fuck around you will still get banned and/or lose their skin like normal players would.

- The criteria to get a skin accepted are that basically they need to be 'fair' (not entirely black), non-intrusive (not annoying) and in the standard UT style, so 'normal' humans or aliens fighting, no flashing neon colors, no homer simpson or brain-in-a-jar models etc etc.. something that would kinda fit in the 'gritty' UT atmosphere. You get the idea. The same applies for voicepacks; no bugs bunny voices. Something that would fit.

- If you get something installed it's entirely up to you who you allow access to this skin/voice. The server has scripts to check abuse so if someone tries to use your skin and you want it to be private he will get kicked. If you want everybody to wear the 'I love <your nickname>' t-shirt, hey, go for it

- If you are thinking of doing this as an entire clan we will have to discuss special terms. $5 for a skin for an entire clan is pushing it. Make me an offer I can't refuse

Update: its the 15th but a few people are still working on their skins and seeing if clanmembers etc want this so we'll start the 1st . Or, if people arent interested in bidding we can also choose to just let the 'first come first serve' principle work.
