Been saying it for a while..herbals rotation is amazing. Don’t really know why it has been overlooked so much.I think everyone wants the short repetitive rotations so we can just change it again in a few months, lulz.
Since I haven’t been on the server lately and we just changed our rotation, were there any other changes, like… is rtv still on the server?
Srsly, I think if we had herbal’s rotation (with a few tweaks, like take out dodgeball and put in oilrig) PLUS rtv (and somehow change it so that it doesn’t put a vote for a map that was in like the last five played maps), I think that would be sexy. There’s variety AND the majority can get a map change if they rtv.

I nominate Toranky.Aww, really, lockem? <3
I’d apply if I could do it without having to play (not cuz I don’t want to; I just shouldn’t right now). This is my first time posting in over a week; I’ve been so busy cuz I just moved and I was getting adjusted and stuff. My weekends are free again, though, so I’ll have more time for things like participating on the forums and whatnot. The only thing is, I really shouldn’t play. I would if I could, though. I’ve checked the server on gametiger and I see the server being empty kind of a lot.

Your post directly answered mine and was arguing against the point I was trying to make. If you weren’t talking to me you sure hid it well.Why would I tell you that more people would join when they see people in the server, or that not a lot of people are willing to wait in the server for people join? If you take either of those statements and pretend I’m responding to your question, “So you’d rather the server be empty?”, it doesn’t make sense. I’m telling sticky because that’s what lockem was doing by playing in a server with three people — he’s trying to get it populated.

If you were trying to support my stance it sure didn’t look like it. It looked alot like you were backing up sticky’s sentiment.I don’t see how. My response to sticky’s comment was that not a lot of people are willing to wait for people to join, but that lockem is. A lot of players I know just want to play right then and there and would rather switch to a 32 man 24/7 dust2 server.

As to that last part, idk what to say. First you thank me for being a jerk, then apologize for not making your post clearer, then say that I wasn’t a jerk, then tell me not to be so confrontational, then admit that I wasn’t confrontational this time. Wtf man?Err, the intended comment started off as “thanks for the failed attempt,” because you nitpick the *edited* out of a lot of people’s comments, but I wasn’t talking to you. But then I ended up rephrasing it because I knew not quoting sticky was the cause of the confusion and I admitted that I was at fault. However, I went with part of the original train of thought and went on to say that you do come off as a jerk, although you weren’t in THIS particular thread.
Generally you seem very argumentative.

Did you ignore my point on purpose? He was IN the server and TRYING to populate it and sticky demeaned him for it.If people arn’t willing to play in the server simply because it’s low on people you’ve got some foundational issues you need to sort out. Every day at 6AM the server starts with 0 people and every day a handful join and wait for it to fill. If you run those handful off or make them feel stupid there’s only one logical outcome.
I wasn’t even talking to you. The reason why you think I ignored your point is because I was talking to sticky. I was talking about why lockem would be in there.
Thanks for trying to be a jerk, as usual (and if this is not your intent, sorry, but you certainly come off as one), but I was actually supporting your stance on the issue. I admit that I should’ve quoted sticky — sorry about that — but don’t come off as so confrontational. You didn’t really here, but you do, well, pretty much all the time.

True! But the server might crash a lot if there’s too many maps, no?What? lol. As far as I know, that was never a problem and no one ever mentioned it the last few times I posted this rotation.
It doesn’t get full right away. More people will eventually join when they see people playing in the server. Not everyone is willing to take the time to sit in an empty server and wait for others to join.
Yeah, he added dodgeball in cuz it was on the rotation at the time. Personally, I’d like it off and replace it with oilrig. <3
d2.sticky-icky said:
Woah Herbal proposed a 27 map rotation? LOL He’s crazy. I like the variety but that rotation is way too long. What’s up with the server crashing so much this month? Maybe the server needs some loving…Also, this is so people stop complaining about how repetitive the rotation gets. Look at the shorter rotations and how often people want it to be changed. How many threads have you started about changing the rotation?
There’s no rule about going A only when there’s only a few people in the server. People *edited* when you play the whole map when there’s only a few people, and they happen to be at the site where the t’s AREN’T. I consider it more like an accommodation for the noobs who can’t rush from one bombsite to the other when the bomb’s planted. Forcing the t’s to play only at A makes for easy picking for the better players on ct, even if the t’s have three ways to get into A. A skilled awper can watch all three entrances. I’ve seen t’s be successful vs. ct, but it’s usually the other way around, I think, since cts just have to camp A.
Personally, I think the slay was unwarranted. It’s a common courtesy for noobs, but as far as I know, it’s not a rule in our server.

What if we stole MasterP’s idea and had D2,inferno, and Office at multiple times in the rotation. We could have the maps at shorter durations, have more maps, and more variety?edit: aka what toran/herbal made a while ago
OMG. THANK YOU.
I just told herbal and he was basically like, “OMG, FINALLY.” He’s been waiting for this day, haha. He’s not even an admin and he put time into making up a rotation for the server. This was back before the summer even started and the server started slowing down.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it before, here’s what I said in my original posting:

Herbal put together a map rotation and he doesn’t visit the forums (although he is registered), so he asked me to post this for him. The numbers in parentheses are the minutes for each map.de_dust2 (30)

Instead of having dust2 repeated a bunch of throughout the rotation, herbal also used inferno, which is also a fairly popular map. He didn’t group any of the less popular maps together and they’re only 15 minutes long, so people wouldn’t have to wait long to get to a better map. I like that he didn’t put the two awp maps one after the other (aztec and militia); dodgeball’s in between. It’s nice to have that break. Scoutz is lowered to 25 minutes. He used 1337 assault instead of the original assault or upc (both too stacked). Prodigy and vertigo were also added in. I know we were talking about putting oilrig back. That would probably fall under the 15 min maps and I’m not sure where in this rotation would be best to put it (and he’s out atm, so I don’t know if he’d be able to answer that question).
What do you guys think? I like it.
I think the only maps that are set to 30 minutes are the popular maps, i.e. dust2, inferno, and nuke. Everything else is between 15-20.
That’s cute. Ever see this one?

Also, here’s a link to an interview with the two guys in the original.
Jebus! I’m a little surprised that it’s up on youtube and got that many hits without someone reporting it, which is why I was wondering if it was a screenie you got. If you found it, okay, but to have taken a screenshot at 7 million views… wow.
I recorded this two hour long program on the History Channel called Extreme Marksmen. In it, some of the best sharpshooters in the world attempt to recreate shots you see in movies, like shooting a bullet through the hole of a washer or splitting an arrow with another arrow. It’s pretty cool. I haven’t finished watching the last hour cuz I haven’t really watched tv in like three weeks, but what I saw so far was neat.
NoDice said:
in some cases thats a good thing
There’s a difference between tasting like *edited* and being delicious ice cream that looks like piles of *edited*.
I would like oilrig to be longer, too, but I know it’s a handful of us that really like it, so I think 15 is fine for now and we can up it depending on how populated it is during the 15 minutes it’s played.
Dust2 should be at the end of the rotation in case of a crash.
Other than that, I think it looks good.
awp_dust needs to be updated. I’m getting sick of having to police the noobs who buy (and it especially *edited*es me off when people who play fairly regularly do it). We need to restrict stuff on the buy menu and shorten the map time.
I think giving people more starting cash doesn’t REALLY make it easier. Yeah, they can have a more powerful gun if they suck with pistols, but so can the better players. Hell, some of the better players’ pistols > other people’s rifles.

I’m sure there’s a server out there *edited* enough to do that.There are PLENTY of noob servers like that.
If you’re here for the community (I can’t imagine why someone would go out of their way to post about something like this when they can just switch to another server), get used to spawning with $800 and save rounds.
