Okay, listen up here folks. We're at the end of summer and everybody knows we lose a box (4 servers) every year. In order to keep what we already have, we need to keep these servers full.... So, I propose now... OPERATION BLACKMESA.

Why should we seed Blackmesa? : Simple really. This is a custom made map by an eGO (Dragonhill), for the eGO community. He's even coming out with a ctf version here soon, so let's help him out by getting 'Mesa back into the top 50! (it currently sits at 70)... We're not even going to go into Project X/Holy Strike. This guy's a gem. We owe it to him to make this server our Flagship Server of TF2.

What is seeding? :http://www.edgegamers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=79184 (thanks Iceman)

Who should seed Blackmesa? : EVERYONE!!! Pubs or members, I don't care who you are, we need to keep this server filled. This is the pride and joy of our lineup as NOBODY else runs a 24/7 Blackmesa server and can keep it full like we do.

Why am I making this post? : Simply put, because I can. Some of you older members, like myself, know about Atten's seeding drive that threw Valve Maps into the top 10, even ahead of Instant 2fort. Well, now's our time. Who cares about the idler program, that'll be history soon enough with Valve's intent on killing it and banning anyone who uses it.

Why am I dancing? : Because, I can dance if I want to... I can leave my friends behind.... DOWN WITH THE BACONERDS!!!!

*Note of interest: On the night of August 31/morning of September 1st, Blackmesa was the only TF2 server to not empty out. Good job, folks!

I am very conflicted here, I love blackmesa and the safety dance but am opposed to seeding, I guess I will help out if valve does end up striking down the idling program.
 
I completely agree Deja! Blackmesa is my favorite map!
 
You know, you really had me sold... right up until the safety dance. Now I feel so disappointed that I may have to seed a different server out of protest..
 
I was just on blackmesa and Im loving since I just moved from the DoD:S division " not saying that its bad. "
 
Kraken, I'll love you all the same if you do. Point being, stop idling and let's fill some servers!!!
 
I'm with you deja, but Blackmesa isn't going anywhere anytime soon, even if we lose a box for servers. We have two DL's play on it all the time, and sometimes the advisor Iceman when he has time. When I get my Computer up here in college next week, I'll be sure to seed in the night if no one kicks me from the server. :)
 
All the cool kids play in Mesa.

Are YOU cool? Maybe not, but Mesa is guaranteed to bring your coolness lvl up by 80%!*

*Not a guarantee
 
How's the idler program tied to seeding? o_O I think I missed something :p

Anywho, I'll try. Love BlackMesa, and now that we have our own Internet set up in the new apartment, I'll try to use our bandwidth to seed a bit more often ;)
 
I'll try to seed BM as much as possible but usually, its full enough that I cant even get in =O
 
I've tried to seed mesa before..only to get dropped a few minutes later :P

Your best bet is to play! Think the map is too hard? I used to as well. Now I'm deadly on it

*when I Iron Horse as a demo, otherwise I'm still horrible and die all the time, usually to Thereven. Also, I wear frilly skirts and sing showtunes in falsetto.


fixed! :laugh:
 
I support this 100 percent. Blackmesa is an amazing map, and it was one of the maps that drove me to join eGO. In fact, I support it 150%. And Deja, if I could dance, I would join you. GO BLACKMESA!!!!!
 
Um this thread is seriously misdirected - Blackmesa is doing really well. Save KOTH that one could be axed and it was only just born!

Really? Wow. Thank me later for that, I joined with two other pubs then managed to get Kraken in for a sniper fight.
