Panic

Take me off the list please. I have a big project going down the week after fragfest so there is no way i'll be able to take time off. You can give my seat away too cause there is no chance of me going now. Sorry, but this is life in the military.

I'll take one please.

People don't like new maps cause they don't want to learn something new. But at the same time they have some great maps like tides and port that have some great game play. How many times did you get shot up in long hall in Italy before you decided not to even go there with out an AWP and a quick triger finger? Tides is a great map you just need to olearn the clash points and learn rush advantages and where to flash/smoke. Learn where the AWP's hang and how to counter them? (grab an AWP and switch teams and see what he can ssee from that position) Tides is a great map cause it's all close quarters turns and doorways and 3-4 diffrent ways to get into every room. Lots of camp spots for people to ambush from but once oyou learn these you have the advantage with a little prefire just to be safe.

Port is a battle of the snipers. It's a map that makes you play the game like real life. My sniper is trying to kill your sniper while i try to rush and kill your rushers while avoiding your sniper. This is a long map and you need to double scope alot but when your double scoped you are a sitting duck to the guy flanking you with a knife cause your seeing 50' + and nothing less. But yes good snipers are going to trimm the fat off the rushers. This map is D-Day and if it's not your lucky day or your sniper backup is not fast enough then your riding the bench.

Dust is unbalanced with more than a 5v5 game. but it will fill a server in 2 mins. i hate this map.

Contra's not pretty but it has a great structure for play.

Restricting guns makes the game less pure in my opinion. If you don't deal with AWP's you never have to learn how to smoke, flash, and then rush the guy. If your saving for an AWp and you go to buy one fianly afeter getting owned trying to glock 3 rounds and some nub gets transfered over that round and has 10K already and an AWP so you have to buy something else beacuse your already 0-3 then you come to a spot where an AWP would get you through but not a MP5 at this range your going to go to a server that lets you spend your money as you see fit.

Restricting a gun just means that you admit that you can't beat it. I don't like auto snipers but that dosen't mean i can't flank him and cut his throat.

Someone Pm the the PW please i'm on a new computer and i can't remember it.

Ok i just removed you from the ban list so Good luck. But if your still banned post up here and someone with HLSW will do it.

I'm not sure if i banned you or not. I usualy keep a log of my bans and why but i just built a sweet new rig and i'm too lazy to hook my moniter up to my old one. Anyhow i remember the comment and it might have been the banning Admin. At some point you have to make an example to get people to understand your serious and i think you were the sacrificial lamb. There were alot of people TAing and it had to stop. When we admin servers were there to play. We don't get paid to babysit we actualy pay to do it. So that being said we want to control the situation with fast strokes and get back to playing. When i warn the whole server sees and is at that point warned. When i kick someone the server sees and it counts as their kick. After that is a ban for whoever is'nt backing away. If 5 people are in a room with a lion and one of them starts hiting it with a stick it's best to leave the room.

Nice Post, welcome to the forums, Play nice and don't mess with the admins when they are working. Any other time joking is fine just not while were using the big voice.

Can some one please scratch his name off the ban list? I'm off to OC my memory now =p e6600 2.4g is up to 3.3g atm and stable with a 12185 3d mark06 score.

Sign me up for Golf and thursday set ups. I'll set up my flight to arive on wednesday night. I'd like to check in to the pc rentals too cause it's a long way and my tower and monitor are huge.

We had a full server all night last night with the new map cycle. There were even a few from midwest that came over.

I see things like this and it realy makes me think that source modles can be changed

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/gamespace/do...6&mode=mods

If your having trouble remembering the mod from 1.6 here's a refresher.

It would change the player model into the chicken model (like the ones in market on Italy) and it would also restrict them to knife only.

Well I've done some research and they don't have a Chicken mod for Source. Valve did somthing to keep people from changing the player modles and AMX codeing is not compatible with it. but there are zombie mods so... maybe i should look some more.

There are times that i as well have done a stupid TK accident and just said on Mic " ohhhhhh sorry, that was stupid, take all my cash" It would be nice if there were options, beacon, chicken. I don't think slay should be inb the options just somthing that will make it a little harder, kinda like a penance to overcome for the crime.

How I roll. Johnny Cash FTW!

Let's make GC the central hub out west again. Think of what made you join GC. Now think of what happened to that. Now let's go find the fun again.

We have a good server with 100 tic rate.

We have low latency.

We have the ability to load any map we feel we need.

We have enough Members and Regs that care.

- What i want is a server is stiff competition with a light hearted rivalry.

- I'd like to have some reprocution for a TK even tho I forgive 99% of them and ban the intentional ones. Maybe bring back the chicken mod. It might have been an accident and a sorry but i was in the grove with 5 dead this round and a deagle and AWP and bam shotty to the face. Poof your a chicken now go knife the other team now. The server laughs and has fun as well as the chicken.

- Custom Map Night. This was allways a packed server, and looked forward to during the week.

- Western Warfare. Friendly competition and fake rivalry.

- Defer to the server. I personaly HATE Aztec and Dust. They are way too one sided without alot of work. But these maps draw a croud. Lots of people love these maps. So suck it up for a round and don't whine in genral chat cause you don't like a map. This just starts other people whining and the server mood changes fast.

- @ Hey there Stuttering.john nice map your having 32-3 wow!

- If the whole server feels that just playing there is like playing with a bunch of friends all on the inside of the circle they will more than likely come back again and even bring friends.

- Take care of your regs and they will take care of you.

p1 " you suck butt"

Reg 1 "don't avoid the filter please, this is a clean server."

Reg 2 "this is a clean server."

Reg 3 "don't avoid the filter please"

p1 "Are you an admin?"

@ No but I am! and this is a clean server.

p1 "ok thanks"

tho most of the time people just say sorry i did'nt know and the reg just did all your typing for you ws you did'nt get Glocked while typing and lose that shiney new AWP you saved 3 rounds for.

- Admining a server is an Art. you can bring a server from 4 bots to full at 4am on a tuesday if you know what needs to be done to bring a croud and still not drop the quality of play that our servers are known for.

I'm sure there are alot of nice ideas that our regs and members have. If all else fails and it goes in the wrong direction then we can allways change it back.

Contra would fit in fine between Prodigy and Aztec. Contra usualy maintains the same population. I like Inferno too but i think if we make the map cycle too bai we start to get in to other problems.

lol i know, we've had this argument a few times and it's not like try to keep them ou of the loop but when i start tweeking maps the server is usualy dead and i'm drinking. I satar changing maps and drinking more then next thing i know i'm wasted and we have a full server with a few gc's. I get in the grove so to speak and the rest fades in to playing, watching sprays, warning and baning etc it's like filtered vision it it's not wrong i don't even notice. i have a hearing filter too and that's why i'm divorced but hey that's another story.

Hey i run a tight map cycle and the only time people complain is when they just join and see the next map and not know what cbble will allways be the next map if your on a map that's out of the cycle. they join and then when i set next map they may not know that it was just played. ma_maphistory gives the last 20 maps but i'll try to do better. When I joined GC as a west admin the rules were the admin in the server the longest session was the admin unless he defered. A map vote will allways give you D2, Dust, Aztec, Office or italy. This is fine if this is all you would like to play. A good map cycle will keep quality players around for alot longer and the longer we keep them the mor likely they will realize that the atmospheer here is alot nicer and come back. With a good map cycle we don't have to set next map or change a map mid round to get more randoms to shoot at. Now to the real question...

Day looks like a winner.

Evenings has a few problems that i see, tell me what you think.

new evening:

de_cpl_mill - fine

de_aztec - fine

de_tides - fine

de_prodigy - you don't want this to folow tides tides may drop a 2-3 players but keep the rest but if they see that next map is prodigy more will leave. I'd put D2 between these two and move the winter D2 down some

de_winter_dust2_full - move down the cycle this is a great map it's D2 but most don't look for this map when picking a server so it's D2 without the croud bringing potential.

cs_office - nice

de_nuke - nice

de_train - nice

de_dust - people like it still

de_piranesi - nice

cs_italy - nice

de_chateau - nice

de_cbble - nice

de_port - nice

Also Deagle5 draws in a nice croud too. It's fast and a break from strategy.

so if i were to arange these maps it's be..

Pimpin Map Cycle:

de_cpl_mill

cs_office

de_tides

de_dust2

de_prodigy

de_aztec

de_nuke

de_train

de_dust

de_piranesi

cs_italy

de_chateau

de_winter_dust2_full

de_cbble

de_port

deagle5

This cycle will draw a croud and keep it's attention. With the right cycle hours will pass before you know what happened.

Lol try stealing from the Ghetto Table and you'll get Knifed, and possibly in the game too.

lol mine are named BankerJohn and BankerJane.

Clevland Airport's like 20 miles away right?

lol I love young "Pool Sharks" think your stories and add 11 years of shooting.

Ok you got me. I'm the real Easy E.

How bout a Pool Tourney? =p Bar Room games FTW

I'm coming from San Diego but no way i'm going to drive man. It's not worth it at all for long flights. Gas is too high. Even with best guess on the low side it not worth the time loss factor. It's 2400 miles from here, devide that by 30 mpg you have 80 galllons at $2.50 for $200.00 one way. Then you have to factor in a few hotel nights. Plane tickets are $390.00 round trip and you save 4 days of sitting in a box.
