Pretty sure they mean when Dust gets stuck on sudden death.
Yes, stuck on sudden death.
Nero, I understand that someone isn't always on. What might be useful is some sort of documentation, if it doesnt' exist. Or point us to the correct documentation if it does.
There should be some sort of notification heirarchy, so that people know who to contact and in what order, should something need to be done on a server.
The basic problem last night is that I was at my computer. One of the eG's contacted me through chat that the server was stuck on sudden death. I cannot remember who exactly, but they were asking if I had the capability to reboot the server. I did not, and then realized I only knew of a couple people that I was pretty sure had that ability, none of which were online.
I am sure someone was probably around that could have dealt with the issue. The problem is that nobody who had knowledge of the problem knew who could be contacted with the ability to deal with the problem.

This is a dirty fix...but it is a working one.
I'd install this plugin http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=72216
Then, make a vote to ins_restart_game 0
Then, when, it's needed or hung, someone can start a vote to restart the round, POOF.

Very clever, although I don't know if it will be implemented. We don't exactly use very many voting systems on the server..
Only have the 1 vote enabled, and the custom votes only be called by generic admins or smoene with admin chat etc...not exactly public, then, only 1 eGO member can start a vote, even at the lowest rank, and have the users carry it out, and no sudden death endless loop

yea GoldenPSP i was the noe who contacted you. then i saw scswat online and asked him to reboot it for us. he said something about that was how it was supposed to be played? i dont know if he was confused or if we now want the dust server to be on sudden death because i havent heard anything about it.
