Let's add deep6 can we? Seems to be general support for it and if UKTMF have the map as well then 90% of our regulars will have it too. Yes?
Add all the maps you like, the more the merrier i reckon. Personally i think we should be addressing why meathook has been so quiet recently :cry:
hwy isnt 747 on that list?
747 is a goodmap
thats because 747 is one of the most god awful maps ever!
It could have been quiet for a number of reasons. Here are some of them:
:idea: 3 nights out of 7 the server pw is changed to allow praccy or matches. We have been playing quite a few matches recently (and I know that the praccies have only just started but...). This will put people off if when they do come to the server they are locked out.
:idea: We could shift our games to HG rather than MH. I know that we allegedly had lag problems with HG for matches, but it might be worth re-examining which server to use for matches and praccy.
:idea: We have been getting a real batty wapping recently in our premier leagure matches - this puts people off CS for a while. Soft tissue injuries take some time to heal and I am sure that this has put people off a little. Hence they haven't played as much as they might otherwise have done.
:idea: We haven't really pushed MH in the newsgroups recently. A playing population will change with time and like N42 has found, we constantly need to refresh the membership of the 'club' and keep a level of interest in MH going. Why not target a series of UK PCS stylee posts mentioning MH in the NGs? We might get some more registered members then and numbers on the server will start to come up again.
:idea: Why not start a series of promotion nights like some other good PCS communities currently do? I get a couple of emails a month with invites to special nights......if we build our own mailing list from people who have registered an interest in UK PCS from the NGs then we could use it to distribute invites to some fun or exotic map nights.
Just my 2 cents........ :D
Looks like a few dollars worth there to me :)
I can spread some word over the Blueyonder admin forums if you like, filters out some of the muppets from the public forums I spose...
I've submitted an article in Enemy Down but it's not been posted by the admins yet.
UPDATE: Now available on ED. Check it out ppl and let me know if you think it needs any changes.

Is this rotation up to date ?
[XLII]Phyllis
I believe it is. :?
We have the 6 maps in the new pack. When are we going to play these?
OK. Let's think about this.
Would it be better to put a temporary map rotation on the server that just contains the new maps and play-test them for, say, a week?
Or pick a day to play-test the map-pack?
Sorry, but for the sake of clarity can we list the 6 maps here please - I for one can't find a 6 map list anywhere.... then we can discuss it.
Thanks.

We ought to add that to the Essential Deadmen files on the website as a priority. Stryker, can you arrange that please? Thanks in advance.
As far as what we do with the maps now, my suggestion would be:
(1) We change the joining console script to give notice that from Friday 13th September we will have new maps on MH that will be tested in normal rotation. That way nobody can moan that they don't have them (cos they sure won't have noticed this thread).
(2) We email the MH PCS Membership list (need DM & Stryker's help here) to advise that a new map pack is on the website and needs downloading by Friday 13th September so that peeps can join a 2 week trial.
(3) We put the new maps into rotation from 13th September for a 2 week trial.
(4) Towards the end of the trial we email the MH PCS Membership list again with the current map rotation list AND ask peeps to vote on each individual map in a 5 day Forum Poll as to whether a map should become part of the normal rotation or be put into Room 101.
(5) Whilst the map vote is going on we need to run a simultaneous poll to see which maps are voted OUT of the rotation (assuming we can get 20 Poll options into the Forum that is). If 3 of the 6 new maps get voted in, then the top 3 maps for being voted out are gone, etc.
That's what I would do, but then I'm just a jumped up fastidious bureaucrat so what would I know :wink:
