Cockazn has loaned us two servers, one which is 16 slot, and another which is 12 slot, the 12 slot will be used as a scrim server, as for the 16 slot, we are having a vote to see what to turn it into, this is an open discussion so feel free to post with your opinions

If you select "other" please post here what you would like to see, thanks

Be sure to thank Cockazn!

i'd say, make one server deathmatch the extra could be practice sessioned map for iFPS?

Okay so this is what i think. I actually have 3 servers. A 16 slot 100tic, 12 slot 100tic and a new 11 slot 1000 fps 100tic scrim server. The 16 slot 100tic is currently a dust2/mill server and the 12 slot is 24/7 Crackhouse. The 16 slot has been up for 2 weeks and has been d2/mill the entire time and has gotten fairly good traffic. The Crackhouse has been up 1 week and was originally Reg SK then turned into RPG SK then to Crackhouse. Last but not least the 1000fps 100tic scrim server I bought this morning. The scrim server was intended to be used for a friends xpl/eco team but i see no reason why them and us cant both use it. After all you don't play on a scrim server just to play on it. That's what a pub is for. As for the 16 slot I don't know how competitive you guys are or want to be if you are interested in joining any leagues but I feel that a solid d2 non-DM would be the most fitting. As for the 12 slot that is a very small server size to try and make a good server out of and very few maps/mods take that few of people to play. Which is why i felt SK (scoutzknivez) was a good choice. the map is tiny and 6v6 is perfect. The same with Crackhouse it's a small map that gets a lot of traffic. There aren't many ways to go with a 12 slot server so my vote would be to go with a small single map like Sk, Crackhouse, Breakfloor or something like Deathrun.

Also i would like to add. The reason I am not fond of DM is because of the low server size. 16 slot for DM I feel is too small.

First off thanks for the servers Cockazn. Second I think that the Ifps sever should be office/office extended and d2 only, and the scrim server should stay just that. Crack house should stay just as that and as for the last server scoutknives would be good for our clan bc we all need a lil practice on our scout if you guys want to be for real about htis whole thing. (you must scout b4 you can awp) thats what I think let me know how you guys feel. Thanks again Cockazn.

You got that backwards, you must awp before you can scout awp is a one hit one kill weapon, which would deteriorate ones scout skill

Actually they are 2 totally different guns and practice aiming in general will get you better and all guns, but back to the servers.

I noticed that in the Pub server there are a lot of maps that no one plays anymore. I know a pub is a server with a lot of regular maps but when the map changes to something like de_port or de_nuke people leave and it's not likely that more people will join. I suggest making the pub this rotation. de_dust2, de_dust, cs_office, cs_crackhouse, de_cpl_mill, de_season, de_train and maybe a few more just so that the server gets populated. When the map is on de_chateau no one is going to play that then the server sits on that map until one of us gets on and changes it and that could be a lot of down time for the server. As for my 16 slot I am changing the server name from "Cake" (what it was before) to iFPS and I will make it a 24/7 d2 for the time being so that it has the possibility of attracting people. I will do the same for the 12 making it 27/7 Crackhouse. When we decide what we want the servers to be they can be changed with no problem.

Oh and about admin. There are currently 2 other admins on my server which will be removed after seeing how they acted earlier today in the pub and either I, Haze or Sin can put your admins onto my servers if you would like for me to put them on please send me your steam id's or join the servers when I'm on.

As for the scout vs awp, I never said they were the same gun, obviously awp is a little more off then scout when it comes to accuracy, however what I was pointing out is why would you need to be better with awp if you are already good with scout? scout is an overall better gun then awp, and if used right can beat someone using an awp everytime just because its faster at shooting, and reloading then an awp is, however, being good with either one of those guns will not do much for your aim with other guns such as ak47 and m4a1, all it takes is practice

as for the current pub; I don't see the map rotation changing anytime soon, because it already gets a reliable amount of traffic, usually on weekdays or times when people aren't out having a life, it gets pretty full for countless hours, the other day I was in there for like 4 hours straight which is weird cause I normally wont play more then 1. I do agree with maps like de_chateau, de_piranesi, port, prodigy, compound, and havana being taken off the rotation, but not server so that it can easily be changed to when playing with a bunch of friends if we get sick of current maps and want to play something longer

As for your servers, you can do with them whatever you want, 24/7 dust2 would probably get them the most traffic fast, which I am in agreeable with, as for the 12 slot, in my opinion it should be canceled and the 16 could be upgraded to 18 or 20, that is just my opinion, cause if it ever gets active, it will slowly lose activity because it would always be full with 24/7 cs_crackhouse or deathmatch crackhouse being so popular (I would suggest deathmatch on that map rather then hostage rescue) but like I said, if your happy with them the way they are, then keep them how they are lol

[Cockazn]

I think for now I will leave them as is. I also agree with you on the 12 slot being canceled but I'm not going to cancel it I'm going to just let it run out and not pay for at next months due date. The 2 slot is on a month to month plan and the 16 slot is on a 3 month plan. As for upgrading the 16 slot that is a good possibility. So for now that's what I'm going to do.

This is something I would strongly recommend if it hasn't been done already (I haven't seen any obscure maps recently). The worst part about having non-popular maps, as Crackazn said, is that it doesn't change the map until someone joins which is unlikely until iFPS members decide to play.

I don't know what's going on with your servers at the moment, but I might suggest that you have two public servers - one running regular (popular) maps, and the other running popular/well-made custom maps. This worked well for another community I frequented a while back.
