•   General Public Suggestions
Some of the regulars have expressed ideas about possible melee only rounds. We agreed to put this up for a vote in the forums to see what everyone would like. Whether it be all one class per team or random class, random melee for each person.

Taking the server back to 24 person was also discussed. Widow stated that leaving it at 32 player was for the best, since it did bring in more ppl. To help with the feeling of it being so crowded it was mentioned that we put some larger maps in the rotation. GFH suggested PL Tower.

•   Team Stacking
Speng expressed his frustration with what seems to be team stacking. Widow pointed out that even though we all go random, the game seems to automatically put us on blue. He suggested that we, instead, look at how the teams are and if necessary, switch teams to balance it out as best we can. Widow also said we need to not worry about our stats as much and just play to have fun.

•   Pre Round Mayhem
GFH stated that he would like to see the cabinets disabled during the pre round mayhem. Several others agreed. A suggestion was made as to whether we could find a way to tell who won. Widow and Video both said this would take some custom work.

•   Allowing Regulars More Access
Disco suggested a way that the regulars could have a little more control of things like all talk, rtv, etc. He said sometimes it is frustrating whe there are no admin and only a few ppl and they want to talk to the other team, but can’t. We all discussed giving some access to them to be able to put up a vote for things like this and everyone agreed it would be ok for the minor things.

•   L4D and MW2 Server
Video commented on the fact that we should consider getting our own dedicated L4D server. Hitman informed us that he was going to be getting things in order soon to get a L4D and an MW2 server set up on our box. Video is working on downloading whatever is necessary to get that up and running and Hitman will keep us all informed in the forums of how things are coming along with this.
