I might have a kritz. Check my backpack: http://www.tf2items.com/id/muju
I can't go to that site from work. So let me know, and I can hook you up with it tonight if I have it.
Certainly no need for two servers, as said we only fill up for 2-3 hours a night and even then its not a long wait to get in. Just need a few more people who can send out event notices a little earlier than they do, server usually fills up real fast when that happens.
As long as Steel and Badwater are there I'm happy.

Just to answer a couple of questions:
- The VM is what it sounds like: full blown VM, running Linux, we can do what we like with it. That can mean SSH and SFTP access for those that need it.
- My friend is not a jerk and has been running these sorts of things for ages. (My website has been on his hosting company for the last 6 years or so.) I don't think he particular cares who has admins so long as it isn't everyone under the sun (and the admins are not, in fact, jerks). There are other GAFfers (japtor and Rummy Bunnz) who can vouch for him because we all run in the same circle. (Also he's in the queue for a GAF account but who knows how long that will take.)
- The server is current running ManiMod but if we'd rather do SourceMod we can get that in place. He just installed ManiMod because he was used to it from running CS:S.
- I should be trusted because you guys who have played with me know I am terrible as spy. I mean fuck, I'm lucky to get a single backstab before I switch back to Scoot.
Yes, server updates may be a little tougher without a nice control panel to do it through, but we'll get this covered as best we can.
Oh yeah, the server is actually up already if people want to check their pings. tf2.langui.sh - I haven't renamed it to anything GAF-y yet because I didn't want to confuse people searching for servers until after The Java Ship sailed off into the night.

Hmm...texas as well...though I think my ping will suck.
Welcome back, Twig! Tired of just sitting at home getting all the MS moneyhats, eh?

I'd like to see what it's like when it's full. I just checked it out myself. My ping was about 45~50 which is about the same as Java's server, but it would randomly shoot up to 150 for about 5 seconds or so.Boonoo said:
I say we try to get a full server and play a couple of rounds to stress test it. It seems pretty solid now and I'd be glad to not pay gameservers.

Well, it was nice while it lasted.
Thanks for the memories, Java! You gotta join us on the new server or on GG!
So outside the weird "unnamed has joined the server" glitch (and my TF2 generally running like shit tonight), we seem in decent shape. I've added a handful of trusted folks as having admin rights, and will add a few more over the next few days as I figure out who gets what. Mani flags are confusing as shit.
Source mod may have to wait a few days, but we'll work at it.

I don't think they gave up, I think they were just were not up to our team's level. The shear fact they asked for a do over of the very final match and then tired to counter our "Everyone Rush A!" plan by leaving B nearly defenseless shows that.Ultimatum said:
Oh god I am so bad as a spy too, but like others have said its fun to play. My record is two back stabs before being killed, I am improving, I am up from 1!
Oh, and I vote for your server.
"Hello, tech support? Yes, I stopped paying for this server 3 years ago, do you think you can just pull the plug already?"

Thanks! Was interesting to see how people from the GAF server play differently when it's competitive.Hazaro said:
Edit: So the new server is in Texas? Hm, never bothered to check my ping... bet it's nowhere as near amazing as it was for the East Coast server though (single digits!)...
Highlander is rather uneventful actually.cooljeanius said:
It's weird since you only have 1 of each class it feels like there's a ton less to worry about.
My demo is just me spamming, and maybe 3 or so close calls.
You can fly around a bit in the demo using some command so you aren't locked to my view as well.
Couple of things:
For some reason the server randomly became arena-only unless I manually changed the map.
The time after the round ends (humiliation/map change) is way too short.
Admins need rcon and/or ftp access so we can add some good custom maps and edit the rotation.
Also, MUJU is a butt.

Its a feature! But really, its nice to know this server at least has the arena maps on it in case we do want to play them, always bugged me Java just never put them on his sever.
Also also find it bit ironic the server emptied out in Mountain Lab like how before the Gaf server emptied out at Harvest.
I'm not a big fan of the last point of upward, but other than that I love it.
Hightower before the patch that made the carts move faster uphill was terrible. Matches would last literally 40 minutes to an hour some times. I think part of it was the fact that it came with the engineer update so there were always 5 engineers on each team.
After the patch and with much fewer engineers these days it's great.

What map is this?
- It's a cart map.
- I think it starts with the cart flying down from a really high track (like a rollercoaster.)
- The second part of the map starts with a wall being exploded by dynamite.
- The last part of the map has the each team's cart parallel to each other. You have to push the cart up to some big speaker/jukebox thing. If no one on your team pushes the cart in this part of the map, the cart slowly moves down the track until it ultimately falls off a ledge and you lose.
