After seeing people RTV very quickly a few times I just wanted to make everyone aware of something, if you RTV to a custom map, please allow around 10 minutes before you try to rtv again.
The reason behind this is when you rtv to a custom, usually a good portion of people are going to need to download the map. If you immediately RTV they will continue to download the previous map for a period of time before they have to start downloading again. If you sit for 5 minutes downloading, then immediately have to start downloading again without even seeing the map, odds are you are going to disconnect. Just a heads up for everyone, if you rtv to a custom map, please let it run for at least a bit so people can download. A good way to check the number of downloaders is to type 'status' in console, and then check that number against the number of people actually on teams. The second point I wanted to make is that on at least Tuesday and Friday, please try to seed both servers, I will make sure to tip people off on the second server as to when I am about to restart for FNF/TFT, but its good to have something going in the other server for people who can't immediately get into the event, I know FailMedic, SarcasticSteve, and RedWreck spent all of Friday sitting in the mostly empty second server. Since the second server is goldrush/dbowl/warpath, its pretty easy to keep full once it gets going, just heads up to everyone to try to get both going before FNF/TFT. Reserve slots also work on the other server, so we dont need to worry about it being full and not being able to get in. ![]() ![]() Sig by Joel |

Best bet is to change the minimum time for an RTV to at least 5 minutes.
Delays forces play time, play time turns into enjoyment, enjoyment ignores RTV's. ![]() Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. -Albert Einstein |

Not sure about other people, but just loading a map takes a bit for me so rtv is a pain custom map or not.

Hurr, that might be because of your hard drive. Get a faster one, or turn your textures and stuff down; lower rez crap takes less time to load. edit: Well, I am putting together a link to the Map Pack. But I'm not sure what all to include in it, since most of the original maps in the pack were fail, and we've added a bunch since then. I'll put up a link to the standard maps in a bit. I bet mine will go up before Caff's does. ![]() Nvm, I would not want Caff's pain to be in vain. Also, he won't tell me what to include. Just wait for a link from him in a few hours.

Maybe if we changed the map rotation now and then, people wouldn't get bored and then try to Rock the Vote. Maybe get rid of a few boring maps. How about Dustbowl?

The other team had 3 engies, 3 demos, 3 medics, 2 heavies, 2 snipers and 2 pyros. They turtled right from the get go. The match was fucking epic to say the least.
