Ladder map tonight @ 20.00

[Blunt]

Browne has requested de_marauder for the match tonight, however I can't find it in the HLSW list.
I'd be grateful if the server Gods could make it so:worshippy:

I note that only de_streets is on the map rota.

It was my understanding that we just played whatever map was on our 2 week rotation.
However, in my convo with Browne yesterday, he pointed me in the direction of this

Challenging team picks map and team (NO Knives round)
 
Maps available for matches are CS:S standard maps and maps from dMw's current map packs ( or map of the week â€" chosen by admin )
 

so that told me:blink:

That was the original idea but it's easier for us if it's the map on Baldric's mapcycle.  I think we should remove that clause and change it to say the match will be played on the current ladder map.  Pen is the Ladder admin though so I'd rather leave the decision to him.

Maps should really be played from the current map cycle if possible.

Not only does it make the administration easier but it also means that everyone will have had a chance to play that map and hence it's fairer for all (rather than having players which may have *missed* playing on special maps).

Agreed?

Well, marauder is on the rotation. However, I think Whitey is looking at it from an administration/practical point of view. Someone actually has to go in and change the map cycle every time a new map is challenged on. That someone would be Whitey most of the times. If we have one map for two weeks and then change it for the next two weeks it will be easier for Whitey only having to change the map every other week.
 
On another note I think it is a good chance to A) test out new maps B) vary the type of maps (sniping, close combat, night/day etc) and C) force the teams to actually devise a strategy on a new map which promotes better team play.
 
Also some maps are more suitable for 4v4 and many in our rotation are for larger squads than that. My fear is that it is that some teams will only challenge on e.g. sniper maps and mounting a team with 4 scouts which quickly will take fun out of the ladder ...
 
My five,

[Blunt]

So I'll tell Browne that they have to play the map that's there.

[Whitey]

Yes.
