This is not a test. Do not adjust your set. Pursuant to your input at the March admin roundtable, we have made some changes to our servers:

Threshold Plugin
As requested, there is now a plugin that automatically switches all-talk on and off at population thresholds. From 0 to 14, all-talk is always on. From 17 to 24, all-talk is always off. If the population falls between 14 and 17, all-talk is determined if the population is rising or falling (i.e. if the population was 19 but then fell to 15, all-talk will be off).

This plugin is live on the following servers:
2Fort
Dustbowl
Harvest
Payload
Valve Maps

The votealltalk plugin still works on Egypt, Foundry, and Hightower.

Fast Respawn
Tired of waiting to get back in the fray? Now you will be able to wait a little less! Fast respawn is now appearing live on 2Fort only!

No Crits, No Spread, No Problem
The people have spoken. After consulting the oracle and making the requisite sacrifices, we have implemented no crits, no bullet spread, and no damage spread on Valve Maps only. If this turns around the server ranking for Valve Maps and it is sufficiently popular, we may consider implementing this on other servers.

Don't be fooled. This April is all about getting our servers up and kicking. Get excited for a spring fresh with opportunities.
 
No crits! but but... I like crits. Then again I rarely go on now.
 
Thank you for the update! Ha no crits :3
Also why this alltalk auto switch? I could not male it to the roundtable... Why lol?

Hooray, I'll be throwing some parties on 2fort then :)
 
Interesting choice testing these three ideas on certain servers, definitely like the idea! Ive got some poking around to do the next few days.

Some members and pubs are not fans of all talk. But people who fill servers would like to have all talk to help pass the time. We hope the threshold plugin will be the solution for these servers.

The servers that kept the votealltalk are servers that are more carefree and have regulars who enjoy the all talk.

Wow, Instant Spawn on 2Fort that just means more kills for Spawn Camper.......wooohoooooooo but I love it.............
 
Love the new protocols. 2Fort was never a big fan of alltalk ON. Turning off alltalk was the second most frequent request I heard from pubs; the first being "please don't ban me."

The reduced respawn time should be a big hit as well. Certain maps, like 2fort, turbine, hydro, don't play well with the default 15 second timer. The second biggest complaint I heard from the 2Fort community was about the long respawn times; superseded only by complaints about certain ban-happy admins.

Need a -2 second respawn on Egypt.

Hmmmm... not so sure about that one, Fifteen. Defense already has a pretty strong advantage (assuming teams are full-ish). It is disheartening for offense, which might have to deal with a never-ending cascade of red bodies flinging themselves on point.

Interested to see what these changes yield... but I don't think I'll be going to 2fort any time soon.
