Doesn't really get used. Are we stretched too thin here? What should we do with it?

right now its the tournament server. but i really think that the problem is that all the pDs members stick to one server (#2 mostly) and they dont spread out. they play a full game for hours when they could spend 20 minutes starting another server and get that one going.

I try to get things going on other servers just about every night and usually the vast majority of pds members can be counted on to hop on the empty server once they are asked (or invited if that is working). We just all need to make the effort to get things started when they are dead. Razor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.

I know that I try to get people to spread out a bit and try to get another server going most evenings as well. One, because I now officially hate 2 fort, and two, because we have 4 servers, lets use them! I like that we have 4 for this tourney as well.

A couple suggestions... Make it a dedicated server for clan maps like warpath. There is a 24x7 server out there called theville.com that is constantly 24/24 for warpath. or Make it a 24x7 server for the new maps that Valve will be releasing soon. I believe one will be a badlands remake? Keep #1 as the rotation for ALL official maps but focus this on the new ones. I for one am just waiting for someone to get #1 or #3 going each night. I just use #2 for warm-up. --Klu

i'm always down for custom, we should make it a policy that wen we got a full server with 4 or more pds in it those 4 should start the next till it fills.. just an idea

Since Tempest 4 is currently in the water, I say keep tempest 4 locked and keep it for tournaments only... BUT!!! When valve releases the new maps we should get one of those maps a 24/7 shot see if we can pack it up again with a fresh new official map.  ahhhh_crap wrote:no, splinter has ethics and whut has emotions

I love Tempest 4 map rotation. I love the effing maps on it, subterranean, overflow, I don't play normal maps much anymore.
My opinion of why it's empty is because of its mechanics. I think if it were to rotate normally it would get filled a lot quicker. I noticed during our maptest a lot of new names popped up just to check out the new maps. Besides, who would want to join an empty 2Fort map when they could join a full 24/7 2Fort server? Just my 2 cents.

I agree with Leon, if we just lets the servers do their own map rotation even while empty, they would be filled a lot more often. Personally, I hate 2fort so I am always bummed out to see the servers stuck on 2fort.
