SirChadlyOC Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I noticed that when I type "rtv" into chat, I get the message, "voting disabled." What do people feel about the idea of being able to initiate a vote to change and pick maps? I'm a big fan of allowing the players to have some admin powers in case Bahamut is unavailable. I would normally recommend a day of Warpath on the server, except it requires a lot of people to enjoy. I usually play that map in 30-person servers, but it's still tons of fun with 24. I'm a little worried that we'd have 4-8 players, which feels lacking. Either way, it's one I'd like to try sometime. After more people download these maps, maybe we can try some "custom map" days.
The Mutericator Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Mario_Kart. No, seriously, it could be a lot of fun, especially with a community that knows better than to take this game seriously.

Mario Kart and maybe Granary as a classic to keep overall attendance up? I don't think we've had Granary in the OCR server yet, but I may be wrong.
JoeFu Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 aww man! I missed the achievement whoring Will there ever be another one? I really want to get this retarded crap out of the way.

I don't think we've had Granary in the OCR server yet, but I may be wrong. We did on like the first day, but it was universally despised when we played. I don't have the Mario_Kart map, someone link? aww man! I missed the achievement whoring Will there ever be another one? I really want to get this retarded crap out of the way. There'll probably be another one at some point.
The Mutericator Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 ^ Connect to TF2, there are at least two or three servers that play Mario_Kart exclusively. It's effectively a 4chan map, with lots of Yotsuba and No More Heroes and some incredibly easy spawncamping and spawnsniping and it caters greatly to Snipers and Scouts, but it's a lot of fun.
prophetik music Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 wait till the pyro pack comes out, everyone will be one.
OceansAndrew Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 wait till the pyro pack comes out, everyone will be one. hellz nah! Medic 4 lyfe! I have the most fun being Pyrion's heal bitch, farming you guys at your spawn point.
zircon Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 Friggin' steam, man. I tried to connect all last night and couldn't. I would love to see Warpath & Granary, or Granary and (X). It really is a fun map when you get down to it, I think people just need to give it a chance.
Triad Orion Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 My call is the old standbys. Dustbowl and Gold Rush are my favorites. I'll swing 2fort too.
Bahamut Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Here's a custom map I want to try out: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/download/54543 Download it to your TF2 maps folder and perhaps we'll be playing it tonight. Edit: Tonight will be pl_dustbowl and cp_orange_x
Pyrion Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 YES! Orange_X! Had that map in a scrim once and although it fries your eyes, it's damn fun.
Bahamut Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 So...there was like nobody on today. Is there something about the custom maps that is screwing people from seeing the server?
Cyan_Ide Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah, 'moving out' did more damage than the custom maps in my not joining.
prophetik music Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 busy. i'll be on maybe saturday night, but probably not before sunday night. just got a lot going on - my mayterm class is finishing up, too, so i've gotta worry about that.
DarkeSword Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I did manage to get on last night eventually. Played a sniper's duel with EdgeCrusher on orange_x (until the end when I switched to scout and batted him to death).
SirChadlyOC Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I feel really bad that I haven't been able to play at 9 p.m. EST for several days now. Stupid work. By the time I get there, the server is usually empty, or close to it. I'd recommend a map or two for tonight, but once again, I won't be able to get on until 10 at the earliest. Stupid work. On a random server yesterday, I came to the conclusion that the best thing in TF2 is switching to a class that hasn't been played by anyone on your team and wreaking havoc on the enemies who are not prepared. EXAMPLE: Switching to Spy and sapping every engy's stuff. EXAMPLE: Switching to Sniper and getting headshots on medics and heavies, ruining their uber attempts. EXAMPLE: Switching to Pyro, getting ubered and charging at the enemy. EXAMPLE: Switching to Scout, running PAST/THROUGH the enemy, and capping the point. Also, LITTLE MEN STEAL OUR CART!!
Triad Orion Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 LITTLE MEN STEAL OUR CART!! MUST PUSH LITTLE CART!! Sorry I wasn't around yesterday, Bahamut. I admit it wasn't Indy or anything like that that kept me away. Mostly me finally getting my mitts on a copy of Psychonauts. XD
