Played a round of the new campaign last night. Really fun! Also, I finally got the "Good Guy Nick" achievement (play a campaign with a free weekend player). It was the last achievement I needed from the original set for years! Looking forward to playing the new stuff on the server when it's ready! Could I also get an invite to the Discord server as well? I don't think I've ever seen it.

Are these ever happening again? I'd love to get the Saturday night customs going again. Any admin willing to do it?

This is great stuff! How did you get the numbers? Just manually search each player and type them all in the spreadsheet? Is there any way we could get a full database dump to do a little more thorough analysis on the stats?

Customs tonight?

Customs tonight? I certainly hope so!

Is this gonna be on server #1 or server #2?

All of the above? I'll be on, and I'd be down for any combination of pathing/custom/vip. Beware, though... I've been out of the country for a month, so I'm probably suuuuper rusty at l4d2...

Customs / Pathing tonight? Perhaps VIP mode?

Sheesh, last Friday was the only Friday for weeks that I could make it and it didn't happen! Now it's back and I'm going to miss. Think we could do a different night some week?

Maybe the 20 points could be used to buff Jockey somehow? I feel like there's not enough jockey love on the server. I think it'd be sweet if Jockey could have a chance of infecting. I'd use them more!

Hey, I'd love to join you guys on the custom maps, but installing warcelona from the workshop doesn't seem to be working. It keeps giving me errors about conflicting files (only in the 3 parts of warcelona.) Has anyone else had these issues? Anyone have any tips about how to get around it? It won't let me connect and either gives me an error in the console, or just crashes my game when I try.

Definitely option 2. Maybe if the winning team is winning by more than 300 or so... Not sure if that would really keep it close or not, but it's worth a try...

What ever happened to this? I think this would be a really neat feature to sprinkle in randomly. If it were all the time it would just make it impossible for the survivors though. Maybe if one team is really blowing the other one out, you could make just their path a little harder?

Problem is... an ammo pile is ammo for everyone... including M60 and grenade launchers... Not sure 15 points is high enough, or if we want people with unlimited grenades/mg ammo...

Does anyone ever get the 7-gift achievement? It seems like that's a lot to get in a single round. I feel like I've gotten 2 at most.

Hi guys... I'm not much of a forum poster (occasional lurker...) but I thought I'd come on to gloat and then hide in shame... One of my buddies at work has been obsessing over Diablo 3 for several months, and even planned a LAN party for this weekend. We got a group of 4 of us to plan in advance and just block out last night exclusively for Diablo 3. Anyway, we did it old-school style and got the 4 of us in a room with 4 pizzas and a couple cases of Mountain Dew. We all started brand new characters, and beat the game in essentially one sitting. We took two breaks when the servers went down for maintenance, but we basically beat the game in one 12-hour session. Then I came home and crashed for about 4 hours... Anyway, it was a load of fun, but I don't think I've ever played a video game for that long without stopping before! Anyone else do any marathon sessions? I know we weren't the first ones to beat the game... I saw reports of people having beaten the game while I was at work the day after launch before I had even logged in... I'm not so hardcore that I skipped work, but I did kind of act like a kid again, at least for 12 hours this weekend!

This is my thinking as well. Unless we can make it so that reserve slots actually reserve a spot (not just the ability to sit in spec) I think we'd need a second server or people will start dropping out in general. I've only recently joined the community (and only because of the l4d2 server) and it's hard to justify sticking around when it's hard to get on. Bottom line, I think that the active regular community could grow if we get another server, or it could stay about the same with just the one.

Uh oh... did I bring up a sensitive topic? I get the feeling there is some history here. Seriously though, it takes like 20 minutes just to get in to spec and then I usually have to wait until map change just to play. I think that a second server would probably be just as busy.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I think it's worth bringing up again. Is there any way we could get a second l4d2 server Just like the original? This server is full basically 24/7 and a lot of times I can't even connect just to sit in spec and wait for a spot to open up. I think there is enough demand to fill 2 such servers. I understand that people enjoy playing on the same server with the same people, but you can keep doing that. Just don't play on the second server. Or do... and make new friends. It's really hard to get in to the server to play at all, let alone invite a friend who hasn't paid to come and try out the game. Some of my buddies can never get in to play with me even if they'd like to. Anyway, the community can still be cohesive and unified, there could just be another place to play when the first server is constantly full.

I've got a quick suggestion for the sendpoints module. It'd be nice to be able to send ALL your points to someone using * or something like that. I usually forget how many points I have, and when I'm dead I usually just send them off to someone who isn't, and it'd be nice to have a quick way to do that. Also, is the source for this plugin available? Do you have it on github or anywhere? I'd love to take a look at it and maybe contribute somehow.
