Well I figure ditching the micspam part of it is a small tradeoff for no crits. After all, the population of that server would die pretty swiftly if it's filled with nothing but micspammers, since even people who feel like mic spamming would get bored of that quickly. I'd really rather not designate 2 as the "Silly server" because that worked out so well last time for all of 3 days before no one went there. Partly because of the maps, and partly because of the micspam. I miss Duck's nocrits server, so I'm gonna pump it till that's back in action.

As for Dave, keep stock maps on rotation and silly maps on nominate. And when you're in the server just shout at people to not play silly maps.

Works for me.

a macho solution imo

Agreed, can't get more macho.  Only issue I see is that the server's should have "vibes" you pick up on immediately to know what's cool and what isn't.  I see nocrits as being more appealing to serious players but then we can't yell at people for not playing seriously on the loosey goosey server. So should we switch em?  Main is nocrits for people who want to play the game and alt is fast and loose for those that just wanna have fun?

Macho responses, the both of you. I'm ok with this, though I don't want to completely designate the other server as "Silly" per se. More like laid back. Leaving crits on is cool but don't make it 24/7 Wacky Races (Not assuming you would of course). Keep the majority of customs on that one but don't put them into rotation. So you can still mess around on the...hell I'll say it loosey goosey server but it's also still viable to be played normally for people who want some hot crit action.

There should just be mapvote at the end of the round rather than rtv and rotation imo.
Or basically an rtv at the end to determine the next map and you can nominate during the game. Dunno if this exists.

Then it should seriously be considered.

Because nothing sucks more than having super fun on badwater, not rtving, and getting stuck on chaos (and getting rtved back to badwater).

[Surf314]

It does but it sucks.  First IIRC it was buggy.  Second people don't know what they want.

I stick by what I said before, possibly in another thread but I'm too lazy to go check.

When server 2 "broke" it was easier to seed and more fun to play on than at any other point in time.

It ran stock rotation, though I don't think I once saw egypt or junction or borax or shit on there, it was possibly stuck on an old stock config. THIS WAS GOOD BECAUSE THE SERVER DIDN'T EMPTY OUT WHEN PEOPLE DIDN'T RTV.

The RTV/nominations allowed the stupid fucking maps, but unless it was a large server majority of brbu players, people wouldn't pick them or vote for them, meaning that the server didn't empty out for no reason because some dipshits decided it was time for WACKYRACES with 6 people because the remaining 14 left as soon as it switched.

The micspam plugin was disabled, and save for a few days when someone would play actual music, it would generally be a random clip here or there or nothing at all. It wasn't a "micspam server", it was a "laid back server", as I think someone already mentioned. Generally people were open and fun with it, and people would request and take turns with shit, etc. etc. If someone was being a total douche, it was either A) shunned by the whole server and they stopped, or B) loved by the whole server and everyone egged it on. People can moderate themselves quite easily and like 75% of TF2 players know how to muteplayer, so it all worked out well. Yeah micspam is allowed, but I'm pointing this out for people who dislike the idea of micspam being allowed and want to have a hissyfit.

Also, nocrits = more laid back because less rage, imo. Most people don't even realize they're playing on a nocrits server if nothing is said, and only start bitching as soon as someone mentions it is. I'd say default off and let people rtv to have it turned on, or just leave it off in general cause fuck crits and fuck people who don't know they're off bitching.

As in nothing but crits?  Is that possible?

[cannedpeahes]

We've already got a Chicago server so the Midwest is covered if we chose to move it to the East, and 48 people would get ossum pings if we did. But Dallas seems like a good compromise. We'd have a North-Midwest and South-Midwest.

What would happen if the new server were more or less the same as the existing server? I'm not entirely certain but the player volumes seemed uneven back when we had two diametrically different servers.

[/quote]Here you go.
I'm pretty sure you could edit the Crits vote to be a No Crits/100% crits/whatever vote.

[Coppanuva]

Yeah, 100% crits is possible, but it's really annoying since you get killed way too fast.
I used to play on a server with 100% crits, custom mario kart map. It was like classic FPS deathmatch mode, but with no goal time. Anyways, the game gets really annoying like that with 100% crits because people will just spawn camp and you die withing 15 seconds of leaving the base 9/10 times. 100% crits can get old fast.
