Suggestion Box

[Luggage]

I suggest we change default setting for AllTalk to "On".  This makes the server livelier and encourages interaction.  When server gets relatively full, we can always turn it off.

Thoughts?

Default should be off..what if the server is full and we are not there? We can always turn it on when one of us is there.

I like your optimism...

I try to think positive

alltalk is off by default.

Also I never implimented the other alltalk plugin.

Suggested map rotation attached.

Couple of explanations:
1. I tried to keep a balance of map types as well as popular/regular maps and a mix of old/new maps
2. Added back Canalzone since Scout is so popular nowadays
3. Added PL_Cashworks and PL_Frontier even though they are not standard since they are awesome and PL mays are generally popular
4. Wrt time limits, win conditions, etc. I think what VM had in a previous post (same thread) is pretty good

thoughts?

Luggage I will check it out and then we can put it up for a vote.  How does that sound?

[Luggage]

Sounds good.  Hoping to elicit some comments from active TF2 players so we can get this to everyone's liking.  If there are other custom maps people like, please let us know and we can put them on server (not the regular rotation).

VM: I have the file in excel if that will help you manipulate the data.

[Video_Master]

So here is the rotation that you are proposing.  Question I have is do we want to leave out the PL_DUSTBOWL_B4?  I thought that was a popular map?  Do we want 1 more CTF Map in there or do you think 2 of them is just fine?

CP_Junction
CP_Gravelpit
CTF_Turbine
PL_Dustbowl
CP_Steel
TC_Hydro
CTF_2Fort
CP_Egypt
PL_Goldrush
PL_Frontier
DOM_Canalzone
CP_Dustbowl
PL_Cashworks
CP_Fastlane
PL_Badwater
CP_Labor

I think that the server numbers are doing awesome!  Just in the time I have been playing, they have came up quite a bit - like 400 + points!  We are on our way up!     However, what I find discouraging is the fact that some players have such a high, unreachable score on the stats, that it is hard to truly judge how well you are doing vs other players.  I think, especially with the two new updates coming out soon, that this would be the perfect time to reset the stats for TF2.  I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but I only feel this is fair to give everyone a chance to "start fresh" and build back up again.  I don't know how we would go about this, or who would have to do it, but I'm just throwing it out there as a thought and suggestion.

I definately agree, long overdue, especially with 20,000 pts between 10th and 1st place. I sent Video a message about this a couple days ago so I'm sure he'll get to it soon.

I asked Widow to reset the stats.  Not sure when he will have a chance to do that though.

Ok, thanks, wasn't sure if you could do it...didn't know if it was server side or a web thing.
