hmmmm, custom server being converted to pub server 2 with ff on.......plus the TK to autoban chain there.....i like it, sounds like a great new challenge with consequences if you cant live up to it.....i hope other people agree with me on this....


one question though, any weapon restrictions lifeted, or can you keep those the same? :dunno:

I've played on servers where the person TK'd gets to pick the punishment, to be enforced on the next round.

Forgive
Slay
Blind
Steal $$$
etc....

I would like this option in addition to the auto-kick/auto-ban.

Some also have instant penalities for those that drop a nade right when they spawn.

These may be the defaults :dunno:



Thanks for the second server. Plus it will help some of us *cough* *cough* raises hand *cough* *cough* learn to identify targets better. That way cut down on the TK's in CAL. :jester:

Indeed, I like the idea... but maybe we could boot out some official maps (havana/tides) for a couple good custom ones (nuke/courthouse).

Just a thought, since we already have all the official maps on the main server.

PS. Also, since many ppl will no doubt be practicing for CAL on there, could all weapons possibly be enabled?

Admins I know you have gone out of your way numerous times to listen to "Jeff" , I appreciate that. I agree with your choice of changing your server to second Pub server. Just thought I would let you know that. There is a lot of custom maps out there right now, none good enough to field any thing grand. Its your cash ( though i donate, am i do???) I agree with how the cash is spent. An unused custom server = why are we paying for this.... Anyhow, have to high five fozzy on his post, I would like to lay down punishment on happy triggers :P

Fozzy - Yes. We will have those TK retribution options. Prior to auto-kick/ban.

Sniper - We will run only the official Valve maps. Custom maps proved to be not as popular so we will not be running any of those. As for weapons, we will be restricting the same weapons: awp, g3sg1, sg550. The CAL teams each have their own server to practice on already.

Jeff - Thank you for you donation!

I just have to say this is the reason i play only on WiH this server really caters to the players even thou for the most part we don't pay the bills. As far as FF being on and worrying about tk's this option is much more realistic and will make you be a little more selective about where you throw a nade and blindly spraying an area. it makes for a more intense experience all around especially if you wind up on a different side each time, since you were shooting t's and now need to shoot CT's. I like the fact that you are keeping the restrictions in place, how about restricting the SCOUT? of course i say that because i get killed by it so often and it is useless in my hands. :jester: :mp5:

I'm excited about how this will change the game too!!

I have this problem, I like to vent alot. Since excessive profanity is not allowed I will often times empty a clip into some random teamates head at the start of the next round to make sure my aim isn't completely fubared. :sniper: Probably gonna take me a couple of drunkin nights to get over that one.

At any rate Im really excited about it and I'll give another big "thank you" to the admins for it. I'll try to find another way to vent.

Don't take this the wrong way, either way it is going to be a great group of servers, however I was a bit dissapointed at the removal of the custom server, yes there were points when players were non-existant, but I find that later in the evening, some great matches were stages, plus those custom maps were just to darn fun, oh well it was good times.

I believe that the WIH servers, have the best community of any server I have ever played on, there are so many friendly people there, I just couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

I agree with Major. I played the FF public server today with him (and a few others) and I didn't like it. Same exact rotation (same order and everything) as the other public server. Only difference is FF and I don't mind FF... but having 2 servers that are pretty much exactly the same isn't fun for me :\.

It also appears that the turnout of players on the FF server, is about the same if not less than that of the custom server.

Prowler130
01-24-2005, 08:26 PM
yeah im REALLY upset with the turnout. i love the idea of the freindly fire on and i love the owners for deciding to implement that on a server, but we definitely need more people to play on it....maybe give it a little time....

Possibly jumble up the map rotation...

Or replace Havana with NukeB3 :yaya:

MajorPayne
01-24-2005, 09:05 PM
Nuke B3 is possible the best map I have played in the source engine, it has like more special effects in one map than all the CSS stock maps combined!

Turnout right now is pretty decent, and we've had some pretty good games.

A few TKing pricks, but hopefully the auto kick/bans will help that.

FF might actually make havana playable. I'm ready to try it.

That was pretty fun on the FF server. It was loaded up to 32 for several maps. Then hovered around 20 players for th rest of the maps.

Actually had a great time tonight. Not too many Tk'rs. And the map DEFINATELY played different...... no more spray and spray.....


and on a side note..... I only TK'd once!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry Beastmaker, and thanks for not punishing me. :) )


All the rest of you need to come try it our. THe normal server will survive for a night or two, without you on it. :) Plus I hear, they are keeping stats on the FF server too. :jerkit: for you stat whores :D






played all night waiting to shoot one into Smurfette :thumbsdown: oh well..............another childhood dream down the drain..........
