Please get rid of the timer on it . I don't think there is a need for it .
Pros: Cant think of any
Cons: Clears out a server ; a heated battle is happening and then it comes to an a halt thus making me sad; prevents me from backstabbing like I was just about to do now and then bam !!! the server timer kicks in and we have to restart ;
sorry to vent , I love the server though . I know you don't owe me anything so I'm sorry to sound like a whiny biatch !

actually man, people have been wanting a shorter timer to prevent people sitting on their sides just waiting. They the entire hour without having 1 capture.
The timer does suck, but I still blame it on 2Fort.. Worst map ever... It's okay when people are motivated to cap. Otherwise it's a campfest and makes me want to set myself on fire.
I think the timer is a bigger issue on the rotation server... Can we change that E?

meh... i duno... like I've said before, people want a SHORTER time limit. If there's no time limit, then it really will just go on forever. At least when time runs out everyone has to start over. The beginning rounds are the most intense

The timer is an absolute necessity. Sudden death is fun. Impenetrable defenses are not. Sorry for those who don't feel the same.

Personally I dislike the timer for one reason...my score disappears. I'm one of those players who loves to press tab and see his score at 600. I mean it is good to reset the server so that teams get balanced, people who r owning me leave, etc. But on other 2fort servers that never reset my score has hit 1200 after 7 hours (yes i know its sad)...but I loved seeing my score that high followed by countless insults from haters. Anyway the server is fine how it is.

Simple way to fix it: Put a limit on number of engineers and demomen. Bam solved?

Thats no fun. I Admin on a Natural Selection server And we have class limits for non donators. Now this can cause all sorts of problems, and causes bitchiness. But it keeps people donating, which is a'right.
The timer saves people from being frustrated. A frustrated player base is the number one bane of any server administrator, especially for a 24/7 2fort server. Now, I wont vote one way or another whether or not 2 is the *greatest* maps ever, but I will tell you that nothing sucks more than a stalemate 2 fort game. It frustrates players to no end, and they leave.
It takes a TON of effort to draw in new players, but it takes just one little bit of frustraion to drive a player away. Its the same in the business world as it is the Gaming world. Let people play what they want, and we can build a better tommorrow.

Obviously, your cat has never dumped a bucket of razor blades on you, and then shoved you into a vat of lemon juice. Happens when I forget to feed her on the occasion.:o
I'd say it was a close second, sometimes I fall asleep on my sentry gun or a nice cozy pile of sticky bombs on the intelligence office floor.:rolleyes:

The timer is alright, but I'd like a round end sudden death instead of the straight up game end we have now.
