Friday night changes

[Whitey]

Over the last few weeks Meathook has been consistently full on a Friday night, which is a great problem to have but it results in a number of people not being able to play TCS on the custom map cycle.
 
This added to the fact that it is more difficult to co-ordinate tactics, the more players you have on the server, has resulted in a change to the number of slots on Meathook and some changes to our test server Baltar.
 
Meathook has been reduced to 16 slots which has proved historically to be the sweet spot for TCS. Baltar has also been configured with 16 slots and the same mapcycle as Meathook. The idea being that when Meathook fills up, anyone else wanting a game will go to Baltar. We have enough active players to fill both servers. If your one of the first players on Baltar, send out some friends invites to those not already playing on Meathook.
 
This is a trial and is subject to change :flirty:
 
 
Baltar is on cs.deadmen.co.uk:27018 and has the same password as Meathook.

Well, we had 12 player on MH and 8 on Baltar for about 2 hours ... seemed like no point having a cap on 16 then ...

Next time ask an admin to put up a message on the MH if people want to join on Baltar. :flirty:

Firstly, i would like to say thanks to Whitey and Sadako for having a look into the server capacity issue i raised via a steam message a week or so ago. I think the idea in its present form is a good starting pointing and trialing it should be interesting.

My thoughts personally are that a 20 player cap should be enforced and the traffic be directed to boomer and not baltar. This would enable games to start more easily due to the public joining aswell as the possibility of bots.

Another point to raise is admin availibility. I understand this is a voluntary community and the senior admins aswell as admins devote time to guarding our servers but i think I must put forward a point that if possible could help admining on the servers immensely for running two servers. A possible admin rota or something similar or even a simple check of who is on what server could be carried out by admin staff so that an admin is on both ct and t aswell as each server. I suppose steam friends is an alternative but sometimes events happen too quickly for a steam message .

Last night a few old faces popped on to say hello, yes i mean you Blueball and it was nice to speak and have a quick game to one of the people who help the community behind the scenes.

Just a thought
