I didn't even notice the stickies at first. That just makes it worse for the poor crazy Soldier. :lol
I'm downloading a hefty 300mb update.
eam Fortress 2
Added community submitted deathnotice icons for the community submitted weapons.
Changed the deathnotice text color to use black instead of white when the local player is involved.
Fixed domination/revenge messages not using team colors for the player names.
Fixed an issue where sequences with an activity weight of 0 never get selected.
Updated Koth_Nucleus:
Changed side spawn exits to prevent sniping from inside the spawn door.
Fixed graphical glitch on platform floor.
Fixed blue-colored models in RED area.
Updated Tc_Hydro:
Added respawn time advantages when a team begins to cap any point. Resets when the cap progress resets.
Fixed various nobuild and playerclip issues reported by the community.
Removed logic that reduced spawn times based on roundtime.
These are the only things in them. I can't imagine it being 300mb and just some fixes... New contribution items? ENGIE UPDAET!?!?

Actually I'm kinda dreading the engi update, engi's my main class so I've never really had to deal with the influx of achievement whores after an update. Still. Engi update. awesome.

No it means the server isn't latching onto the update for some reason. I've restarted it 10+ times, but keep getting this message in the log...

Noone can join since they have the newer update already.
Here's what's currently on there...

I hadn't been able to find a site that shows what the current versions are supposed to be though.

Hah. Well my DESIGNATED DRIVER wanted to be home at that time. So I had to be home, too.Orellio said:
No, yeah, that's true.Volc said:

Anyway seriously why was no one on the server last night. It's usually full about that time. ):
EDIT: I also just realized that last night was not the weekend. It was Thursday night. But since I don't have class on Friday it's technically the weekend? Sure.
I opened a ticket with support, hopefully they'll know something. I've disabled mani as usual before updating so that shouldn't have any effect. Hopefully I won't have to go back to a virgin server to get it updated.
Edit: It's back up. The old and new version numbers match up for some reason. Maybe it was a partial failure during an update where some files were missed but the version updated.

lol twig. I only play mostly after drinking anymore.
Last week: After saving for months and even doing a moderate amount of afk-ing. I finally had enough metal to craft a hat. I'd never crafted before. It felt like winning the lottery. In fact, I was so scared to do it that I held onto the metal for weeks. The new update definitely drops a lot more stuff and I think I had 4 refined by that time. I crafted.. and BAM! I get some stupid damn pyro nerd costume. glasses/facial hair or something.

WHAT?! You should've kept those bunches of hats...they're rarer than the regular ones. You could even go on a bad streak of getting hatless hats too!
Well I just crafted my hustler's hat with my batter's helmet and got a fancy fedora awesome :>
At my peak (last week) I had 17 hats, with only one double up. Feels kinda liberating to not collect anymore. All I really want now is the heavy's knitted hat and the scout's cap.

You gotta put more time in...still...17 is quite a bit! I think I've put in just as much time, and I've only gotten around 10? And this is including those godawful hatless hats, which I believe I had 4 of (2 engies and 2 snipers )
)Who needs new maps? Most new maps are shitty novelty affairs.
Besides, community maps kill the server.
I'd much rather play 5 or 6 solid maps over and over and over again than have to bother with sub par, unbalanced new things.
Although, I must say that I wouldn't mind having a simple solid rotation--who needs bullshit voting.

I'd much rather have a constant influx of new maps to try than be stuck with a limited supply. Yes, most of them suck, but not all of them do. By the way everyone on the server acts, you'd think new maps were festering piles of disease and rot.
The only reason community maps kill the server is because we can't download from the server. Which sucks, and, yeah, there's no way around that without paying extra money.
But there are still way more than the five or so stock maps that pop up every fucking night. I was shocked when we got granary immediately followed by double cross earlier. What a rare occurrence! Usually we just jump around between goldrush, badwater, dustbowl, and steel. Gorge is another that's sort of popular. Oh, and cashworks.
Variety is always, always better than monotony. If a map really, truly sucks then no one will want to play it, and we can strike it from the rotation. But, aside from the novelty maps like pac-man and donkey kong and best in class, none of the maps so far have resulted in such wild opposition. Maybe it's not your favorite map, but someone is going to like it. I don't quit every time dustbowl comes up, and I'd be happy never playing the map ever again. I think you could survive a new map every now and then.

Even on servers with nice download speed community maps still tend to break the player base.
And there are nice new maps. I really like follower and obscure and furnace.
I was being somewhat facetious with the 6 maps deal, but I don't think more than 15 would be necessary.
I think the sourceop servers have a great method of rotation. There's a standard rotation, and then whenever it's time to jump to the next map you get a vote to either skip it and move on to the next one or play the next spot in the rotation. That way you cycle through the maps pretty evenly with the option to skip something if most people don't like it.

I'll propose 15!
New maps in bold.
5cp
Badlands
Follower
Obscure
Payload
Goldrush
Badwater
Cashworks
Payload Race
Pipeline
Attack Defend
Gravelpit
Furnace Creek
Steel
Dustbowl
KotH
Viaduct
Sawmill
Harvest Event
Capture the Flag
Double Cross
Well
Arena
Lumberyard
Ravine
Maybe a few more new things. Most non valve new maps I play are 5cp.
The rotation, I think, would work best if it alternated map types.
