Downsizing

I agree with keeping 2fort but would suggest adding a "call a map vote" option like some servers with turbine or other popular maps tf2 maps. Just a thought.

 

Since the Jungle update, I have been on the server a couple of times and it has been sparsely populated. I don't know if the map vote option would impact the player population negatively. If the option was available, players would still need a majority to switch and if it gets "stuck" on a map (i.e. turbine), an admin could always switch the map back to 2fort. So I would suggest make it default 2fort with the map vote option but I think polling the community would be a good idea.

 

If I may, On my 2 and a half years on Orange, I have noticed that many of the player's on the server keep on asking me if there could be health packs or ammo boxes at certain locations. Create more special occasions for the servers to make it more "interesting". For instance currently it is Christmas, We could get someone to create a sort seasonal theme for the maps we have. One of out former admins "Zelus" and I have worked on the Halloween theme for our server "Orange_X3" and we have noticed many players seem to really enjoy it, there were little "mini-bosses" spawning on top of the tower to make it more fun instead of a constant blood bath against one another, We used the explosive pumpkins to (of course) give off a bit more of fun.

Also on many other Tf2 servers such as "Hellsgamers, W3E, GG, Skial, SG-Gaming, (Generic MGE server name), etc." Many of their servers have a "great" community going on, Of course I'm not saying that we don't that bad of a community, But for what I have seen on many of our servers. There has been many Salty players. I was thinking for a change on this one would be that we could special events for the community that would make them coming back, We could do "Heavy Boxing, Spy Crab duels, shotgun Heavy battles, etc." And maybe, just maybe at the end of those events we could give the players prizes. Now I know we have the "Unusual Hat Giveaway" But lately for what I know and heard, Many of the players that I know have said it's quite "stale" and ""Cliche".

Well hopefully you guys could understand some of my ideas to improving the community for \/G. Sorry if none of them seem viable to help out.

Lazytown is kinda unpopulated,I think we could do an announcement on the VG steam group and ask others what we can do to get others interested in what they want to see in the future.

 

I like the idea of maybe a rock the vote system and you can nominate maps and when enough people rock the vote they can choose the maps that were nominated and which ever gets the most votes they change too or they could just vote to stay on the current map.

 

I would add the RTV (rock the vote) command and add add a comment line to the MOTD or in game message when people join

 

For those that are actually having issue with reg it is not the server but actually there own settings like interp and rates. I have never really had an issue with reg at all, it has only been lag and random freezes that happen to me every so often.

 

My friend Zelus and I can work on them, But in our state we are still going through a crap ton of school work. Plus I got a job that I hate (But pays alright) :/

 

as well I have quite all of friends who use the hammer tool and blender to create all types of different models and maps, I could ask for a favor of them to help out

 

@Dax_ @Woody the lazytown servers are backup after i spread the word around, that the item servers are up, (because thats why there was no one)

 

Hey i'm on GG quite a bit... although for the holiday season I wasn't for a multitude of reasons... anyhow, I hear more people talking about lag and hit registry more than anything else. If it is a settings issue is there a post we can look at to help with that? I myself have both lagged and froze....
