Getting a new server?

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

I would love to have a 24 slot valve maps server w/ no critz and with HLstatsX working. Most do not join cuz the HLstatsX is not on, make them work and perhaps have an RTV function to give people the chance to chose the map. The problem is there are a few valve maps that people dont like, with the RTV function it will allow the map to change if needed.

 

[Noise]

A 24/7 Valve Maps CP server or a 24/7 randomizer server with no hlstatsX.

If you don't know what the randomizer mod is here is a video of when we did an event with it.

eGO had a randomizer server a year or so back if i remember correctly, everyone liked it a lot and they loved the events for it, problem was no one liked it enough to keep it as a 24/7 server.

 

[Artinz]

32 Man Valve Maps Rotation Server, or a Prop Hunt server. Its so hard to find a good server for prop hunt, and its a really awesome mod.

Maybe we can bring it have it as an event every now and then.

updated this


("updated this" meaning an update from the others agreeing on a Valve maps no crit. Frisk added some good points)

 

[BodyBagger08]

24 player valve maps (mostly 5 cp maps) No Crits.

*Body stands up* Mr.Chairman I would like to lay this on the table.
Randomizer server would be great though

this idea is excellent!

Convoy or Valve Maps. Both are great.

I like this! And would love to see Warpath and Convoy in rotation too.

 

[Flippy the Squirrel]

Does anybody remember the Lazytown map? I always loved that one. I'd like to see that, Warpath, Convoy ... maybe some less-played stock maps.

Only problem I see with a rotation server, however, is everyone bails after the map changes, which is a pain in the arse.

bring back the auction server
make casino cash work as one point, but incorporate recruits as like 1000 points and donating hats and weapons for 100 points or stuff, get rid of that silly rule that no map can stay the same 2 weeks in a row, if people want that map that bad they deserve to keep it up der.

I believe this is an excellent idea! It gives participation from members and allows it to change every once in awhile. We can also see what maps are popular.

 

[D-Tektive]

Warpath.
Nuff said.

 

[Ezekiel]

24/7 32 slot turbine server again i always played that server

This! I feel lost without Turbine

 

[crazyrockets]

This! I feel lost without Turbine

Yea, Turbine is a fun map, and not that many servers have it.
I don't know how popular it will be, but if we could find enough supporters, it should be good!

24/7 24 slot Valve maps (5 CP) with the following things: no crits, no dmg spread and fixed weapon spread.

 

[engineer]

A 32-player "Best Of" grab bag server, featuring choice selections of all of TF2's game modes. Update the rotation every once in a while to keep things fresh.

 

[Sequel Sentry]

Here are the maps I see in the 5 cp rotation:

Obvious ones, IMO:
Gravelpit
Dustbowl

Questionable:
Badlands
Well
Fastlane
Warpath
Steel
Granary

I think it should be:
Gravelpit
Dustbowl
Granary
Fastlane
Well

No crits/No spread 24 slots.

On the other hand, there could also be a valvemaps + convoy server.
Composure: 2 ctf, 3 cp, 3 arena + Convoy.

I like this idea because I do believe degrootkeep may be getting dropped, so we will already have a pl server. This satisfies everyone's wants for cp, ctf, arena, and convoy. And I think that this should also be 24 slots no crits/no spread.

My Setup:

Ctf Maps:
Convoy is included seperately
Turbine
Double Cross

CP Maps:
Dustbowl
Gravelpit
Fastlane

Arena Maps:
Lumberyard
Offblast
Badlands

No crits/No spread 24 slots.

Now my third and fourth options could abduct a HUGE following.

Number three is, as mentioned before, a funmaps server. The lack of good funmaps servers on TF2 is astounding, and when people see a good prophunt server go up, they jump on it.

Number four is TF2 Zombiemod. Zf (Zombie Fortress) is a gamemode not that explored in TF2 by many clans, and the servers are generally full. Grabbing a Zf server could bring in a lot of new recruits and a huge pub fanbase allowing us to expand as a whole.

If you look at these four options, #s 1 and 2 bring in competitive players and, possibly, make us a more competitive clan.

#s 3 and 4 bring in a lot of pubs and potential recruits.

It all depends on what we are most concerned about. People complain about two 2fort servers, but they are constantly full; also, I get the most recruits on the 2forts easily. If we are most concerned about recruiting, Mesa has the lowest recruit rate, so should we get rid of it? Well, of course not, it is the highest ranked server. So if server rankings are everything, should we be getting rid of our lowest ranked servers even if we pull in lots of recruits and haven't had a chance to grow yet?

As you can see, it is all very confusing. For those of you who did a TL;DR...

TL;DR
1. Cp Rotation (5 maps) No Crits/No Spread 24 slots
Gravelpit
Dustbowl
Granary
Fastlane
Well

2. Valvemaps (and convoy) (9 maps) No Crits/No Spread 24 slots
Ctf Maps:
Convoy
Turbine
Double Cross

CP Maps:
Dustbowl
Gravelpit
Fastlane

Arena Maps:
Lumberyard
Offblast
Badlands

3. Fun Maps (24 slots?)
Optional things:
Wacky Races
Prophunt
Pyro Tennis
Saxton Hale
Randomizer
(Suggestions for other mods appreciated!)

4. Zombie Mod (As many slots as we can handle!)
Good Zf maps, and our mappers can make some, too!

Those are the basic suggestions I have, modify them as you wish!
