I don't know - I'm loving the design of steel, but we need more people for that map to be viable. Even 12 people wasn't enough IMO. Should I change the rotation for tomorrow or no? Currently it is: cp_dustbowl cp_well pl_goldrush tc_hydro cp_dustbowl cp_granary cp_steel_b4 cp_dustbowl ctf_2fort pl_goldrush

Remember to download cp_steel_b4 into your maps folder people - especially this map, it's ~40 MB. I added the link to the first post.

So I finished with two categories and doing a third atm...damn most of these entries are terrible. Makes an already boring task even crappier .

Which agrees with Square's history of ports.

I'll put steel in the rotation tomorrow.

I could sing if you really want (I used to sing some choir music) - I won't be able to record until 1 1/2 - 2 weeks later though. I'm a baritone with my range slightly shifted towards the higher end.

I kinda wish it was true so that I wouldn't even think about it.

Heh, I wish I applied to UCLA for grad school before. Oh well, can't complain too much, my current university is excellent as well.

FJ - presh plays and is from Aus, and he plays sniper just great. So the map rotation is cp_dustbowl ctf_turbine pl_goldrush tc_hydro cp_dustbowl cp_granary cp_toy_fort_elite cp_dustbowl ctf_2fort pl_goldrush As always, find a custom server that is running this map and download it from there, or just download it from the link on the first post.

Wow, I didn't even know about it!

How long does the quarterfinals last?

So Orange_X3 wasn't so great today - any suggestions for tomorrow night's rotation?

Two of my favorite chillout albums to listen to are Aria & Aria 2 by Paul Schwartz. Edit: Oh I misunderstood the question rofl

So I now have a complete wav of Jib Jig on my computer. We're making great progress so far guys!

Angra (sheer Brazilian genius, especially post-Matos, which goes from the Rebirth album and on) Gamma Ray (the third band in the power metal genre, and one of the original 4 pioneers - was started by Kai Hansen, former guitarist & vocalist of Helloween) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxe-_o5FMIU Helloween (by far the biggest pioneer of power metal, as well as being the second band to enter the genre) Blind Guardian (another one of the original 4 pioneers of power metal, mixed a blend of speed metal with power metal, although more recently they've gone more progressive) Manowar (heavy metal, one of the giants of metal that tends to get overlooked) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1b_9A2EFyA Symphony X http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RUO-vHlKc4 Kiko Loureiro (Guitarist for Angra, has some amazing solo stuff - his guitarwork is influenced by his love of Brazilian jazz) Nightwish, as much as I love them, isn't a band known for having the most amazing guitarwork or speed - its a band that gets attention for how it melds a female lead vocalist (especially formerly when Tarja was the vocalist) with great arrangements in metal.

Tensei-san (and whoever Tensei wants to add on for the collab) has Klomp's Romp.

So the map rotation atm is: cp_dustbowl ctf_mach4 pl_goldrush cp_dustbowl cp_granary cp_orange_x3 ctf_2fort pl_goldrush I don't want to put more than 2 custom maps per rotation as they do have a habit of killing the server, but at the same time custom maps are fun. Thoughts on this rotation?

Ah don't worry about it, it's kinda outdated. And so it looks like pl_dustbowl_b4 is getting some popularity - any suggestions for maps for tomorrow?

Does this mean I'm enforcing the DKC 2 deadline then?

Weird, the links work for me right now - try again? Also the map rotation for the day: cp_dustbowl tc_hydro pl_dustbowl_b4 pl_goldrush cp_dustbowl cp_granary pl_dustbowl_b4 ctf_2fort pl_goldrush

I posted them on the first page

Okay so I was wrong, Klomp's Romp is still open. If you think you have what it takes, submit a wip to Taucer or me and we'll judge.

I'm the one who yells at bad teammates haha. But if you say you're a noob, then I'm more forgiving. And people, download the maps ahead of time - having 10 people download the map at once is not cool. tomorrow pl_dustbowl_b4 will be in the rotation again, so hopefully everyone downloads it ahead of time.

Here are some map downloads for people (put it in your tf2 maps folder): pl_dustbowl_b4: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/54701 cp_warpath2: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/52314 ctf_convoy_v2: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/45247 ctf_hallofdeath: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/38584 ctf_royal_b3: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/48291 cp_2skyscraper_b3: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/47607 cp_snowpath_b2: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/46879 cp_wolf2_b1: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/50849 pl_cave_b4_2: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/57377

Just a warning, Klomp's Romp may not be open - I'm waiting to hear whether zircon wants to switch to that, since he originally wanted Snakey Chantey but picked the wrong track accidentally. We'll see in the next 2 1/2 weeks.
