I have an idea.
Don't be a bitch and actually throw down the banhammer. What do you want more of a population of..smart sensible people..or 4chan dumbfucks? |

As far as #2's rotation goes, it was set to popular stock only because its much much easier to fill, its taken months of hard work to make #1 be able to fill itself on almost any custom. I think the rotation should STAY short and simple as well.
Keep two of the three GRush/Dbowl/GPit, and sandwich two customs in there, so it goes something like GRush/Custom1/Dbowl/Custom2 (Repeat). I would suggest customs that tend to be on the smaller end and popular such as mach4, labor, or warpath. Â Sig by Joel |

I like the rotation the way it is. Brb!u members arent always gonna be on, there isnt anything we can do about that, but this is the only server where I can get in touch with an admin and get people breaking the rules out in a moments notice. Maybe Im just playing on the wrong servers, but brb!u has the most controlled servers Ive been in. I rather have #2 open to the public and always ready to play in a controlled enviroment, than wait for brb!u members to join a password or custom server.
Where ever we go we will have to play with jackasses, so why not do it on a server we all support and know the mods care about. |

We wouldn't password the number 2. I think the custom map idea is sufficient. It'll have a weird traffic cycle, though.

If I can sit on #1 for 10 minutes jumping around Mach4 by myself and fill the server up to 24 in the next hour, any server can be filled with mach 4. I mean, who wants to play with me anyways? I'm a godamn nutcase.

I agree with the overall sentiment of the thread. Admin hammer is needed when it's needed. And brbu guys cannot be an exception. If one of us is acting like an asshat, they deserve kicks, bans, and whatever else is specified in the rules for making such decisions. I admin a forum for a DBZ mod for HL (get HL you failboats) and we've had to go Nazi in the past to stop rampant idiocy.
<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills <@Negate> 12121212121212121212 <@Negate> there is a simple pattern <+Karrde> I changed my mind. Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD <+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself <+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some. |

[/quote] For the moment, I think I'll go with this rotation. I'll give it a few weeks and see how it works out, hopefully throwing a few customs will weed out the bottom-of-the-barrel scrubs we've been seeing a lot of lately. I really want a ctf map in the rotation, but picking one that works well is tough. Mach4 is usually too small for a full server, 2fort too deathmatchy, and impact/turbine seem to always empty the servers. Also, as much as some people may hate them, I'd love to see more GravelPit and Granary getting rtv'd, but that's just me I guess. Ripped like paper raped with ease hey scrub nerd pyros suck on these |

[/quote] I'd take out warpath and replace it with labor. I think warpath is too big and isn't as popular. Labor is smaller, more popular, and easier to change the momentum (which is important for pub play) imho.

I would like to add another caveat to this, please seed #1 first, if you ever see it dip below like 12 people, please switch servers. In terms of new people coming into the community the vast majority come off #1 or #3.
Customs attract better and more highly skilled players, but they're only going to join if theres already people in the server. Â Sig by Joel |
