instant Respawn rotation

[Halfwit]

i think we need to work on a AM map rotation like we did in 30 man from 9 am -2pm not allowing maps like hall of death and others sticking to more popular maps to fill the server is a great idea.

also, i dont know if this is already fixed, but last time i was going to hall of death the server restarted, and the map was gravel pit.

Yep... happened a couple times on Sunday. Went from ~20 players on a standard map; then while waiting what I realized was an usually long time to load HallOfDeath, I cancelled the login and re-joined, to find that it was something other than HallOfDeath, with only a few people on. And after suffering some 2-vs-1 crapfest on GravelPit for a while, I left myself. Spies' sapping mah sentry!

HallOfDeath was working later on, though. And unfortunately, as much as I [usually] like that map, it tends to drive the crowd off since there such a tendency for one side to get completely steamrolled (especially when one team does a uber-pyro rush at the start of every round - yeah, I'm talking about you, BADog!).

This has been an ongoing problem since the use of Hall of Death in our rotation. Sometimes it works, sometimes it crashes. We've decided we like it so much that its worth the crashes...?

Either way I kindof agree with Halfwit. We shouldn't have this one on rotation, but admins can switch to it in the morning when there are only a few people on the server.

I agree with Blonde, if HoD is crashing the server again, then remove it from rotation. We can always use the admin powers to make it Hall of Death when we want

[Halfwit]

you all are missing the point i am trying to make

Hall of death does not fill the server

putting together a rotation of popular maps in the AM and only those maps from like 9-2

than switch to a all out rotation

this will allow the server to get the most people in and help fill it up earlier.

that was what i was trying to get out.

Point taken. But I think ikem was just adding a point about keeping the server full once it's filled up. Whenever HoD crashes the server, half the players leave and it takes a while to fill it back up. Thusly, it might just make sense to remove HoD from the rotation entirely and just make it available by nomination; and then a different AM rotation might not be necessary?
