I posted earlier about it, and the weekend is almost here. I'm gonna host a NMW revival PUG tonight (length tbd) to see if it's worth investing time in.
I have the following maps uploaded to my server:
koth_coalplant_a6
cp_warmerfront_test_b4
cp_badwater_a1
koth_canopy_b3a
cp_highlands_a4
cp_edifice_test2
Best way I can think of to narrow it down would be a popular vote for those who do show up although coalplant is going to be one that people are going to want to romp around on for sure. It'll be the old Friday/Saturday hosting, around 9:30pm EST for both days (if enough show up for two). I haven't been able to get the STV auto-record working because it's been a while since I've dealt with a Source server, but I'll try to get it up and running, similarly with a black/whitelist. Hopefully the skill disparity isn't as big of a problem as it used to be. I'm gonna give streaming it a shot since I've only got a 15-slot server (compared to the 24-slot server that we had back in the day thanks to Waxpax).
Rules are simple: Have fun, don't be a dick. Class limits are standard, offclassing and experimenting is expected of you.
The old group is still up so I don't see a reason to waste a perfectly good and functioning group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/newmapweekends
My mumble is attached to the steam group, as well as the server connect string. Server is located in Dallas, Texas right now.
You can contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to say hi. Here's hoping all goes well.

Cool!
I'm glad someone's taking up the responsibility to start these things up again... I hope a decent amount of people come, it'll be fun.
I'll be there, I might get some of my friends to come too, it'll be swell.
And if you get bored of those maps or want to test another there's cp_derecho and cp_sunshine to test as well, those are in b4 and a3 respectively right now.
Let's hope these survive for awhile and that we can test a lot of cool maps, come and join us!

I'll probably stop by, some new map pugs sound fun.

Sounds good, I will try to contribute. Just make sure you have the most recent versions of all the maps, as it looks like you don't have the latest warmerfront (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24793114/cp_warmerfront_test_b7.bsp). Not sure about the versions of the other maps though.

Always good to have more maps to add to the pool. One of the issues we ran into towards the end (in relativity to my time with NMW) was that we just simply started to run out of maps, and it wasn't easy to get people to play the same map over & over again.

Just grabbed test_b7 now, I'm gonna throw that and Phi's other two maps up on the FTP and run a double-check while that's doin' it's thang.

Where is the server based, I'd like to take part but it might get a bit hard if my ping is too high.
Edit: someone was making a pro version of mountainlab but I'm not sure what it's called or where to find it.

Awesome, I've been wanting to do new map pugs as playing the same map 100 times gets repetitive. Will try to make time, cya then.

I just saw the time it's at and as much as I'd love to play it's just too late for me in the UK, and as the server's in Dallas that's not too good either.
An EU version of this would be really nice though, anyone up for that?

Could you play coalplant second? i'm at work atm and know a few things that should be fixed and/or removed.

Is there any possibility that the date of these will change? I would love to play in these, but I run Newbie Mixes and both of these occur at the same time. I am also sure coaches would like to play both.

That's easily done. We'll just hold it off until you're free.
NoonaIs there any possibility that the date of these will change?
The future of the PUGs remains to be seen. Hopefully there's still enough interest in this to justify keeping it going.

That's going to be hard, as any other day is going to conflict with matches and scrims, or people in some time zones wouldn't be able to play.

There aren't any particular skill requirements outside of knowing how to jump and shoot the mans (basically if you can play in open or whatever the highest rank in UGC is for 6s and hold your own don't worry about anything)

Take into account that it is pretty much the off-season, so you might get more weekday interest than you think, especially Sundays. Well, not this Sunday because of Labor day on Monday. Just my two cents.

this was really cool. the abundance of untested maps leaves a lot of time for simply playing on tons of different environments. really nice mood, awesome guys, and good constructive criticism and analyzing of the maps. it'll certainly help me work on sunshine and it gave me a lot of insight on canopy too. come tomorrow, we'll be playing more maps and it'll be cool!
