slots on MH?
It seems that every Friday I spend more time waiting for a free slot and if my connection drops I lose my slot (oo err Missus).
Could the server cope with a few extra slots?
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

If anything i think we should consider to limit the slots down a few more, and open a second CS server with the same rotation as MH. This will split it up into two servers we can play on, without having conjestion problems (even the larger maps are seriously strained with 10 vs 10). Two times 7 on 7 would be nice.

That does make sense.

I would say yes and no.
 
Yes we could have more slots on MH but then I would strongly suggest that we modify the rotation to big maps.
 
No because then we would miss out on some really good TCS maps that are suitable for only smaller numbers e.g. icewerk. Some maps we have on now are not suitable for more than total 20 players. Imho some maps might even be too crowded already with 20 players.
 
I think having two MeatHooks with 14-16 slot could be a good idea. However, we do have boomer that rarely fills up when MH is full. I think that many as you do will wait until they get on MH1 and I am not sure MH2 will actually fill up at all. It is of course worth trying and see how it pans out.
 
Anyway we need to hear what Whitey thinks about this. He is the big bwana anyway. :flirty:

Two servers are ok if the people you want to play CS with are on the server with the free slots. If not then it doesn't matter how many servers we have i still wouldnt bother joining :flirty:

Well one of the reasons id rather queue for MH then play boomer is that the map cycle on boomer is rather limited, most of em i played so much i wouldnt want to spend a night there.

In my optinion 20 is the maximum we should have on Meathook, as higher than that can cause problems trying to play TCS (even 20 is pushing it).  I know at one time we wouldn't go above 16 slots for that reason.  
 
I'll sort out Baltar to have the same rotation as Meathook.  It isn't always available due to testing but I'll make sure it's there for Fridays.

I agree 20 on most maps is too much, but I don't want to not play because the server is full.
So how about reducing MH to 16 max and then the extras can over-flow to Boomer or the other one?

Lets give it a try. I'll post up a message once the changes are done.
