Hello! My name is Prince Ember Storm. I run Team Celebrity in UGC NA HL Silver.
Now that that's out of the way, I should mention that Team Celebrity is based out of a larger clan with the same name. Team Celebrity is a multi-gaming clan, but thething that I've noticed for a while is that we lack a public TF2 server. I want to fix that, but I want to do it in a manner that will start up a thriving community and allow us to grow and add more servers to the clan. This means community input.
To start, I'd like to ask you guys what you want to see in a pub. I've got a tiny little survey here that I would greatly appreciate people taking a look at and filling out.
I'll have this page up and refreshed in case people have questions as well.
Thanks!

I want some older maps to be a thing. Well, until people start bitching like they will and want them removed. Freight, Yukon and some others come to mind. Fun maps, but good luck with that now.

My best times ever in pub servers were on a 24/7 ctf_well server. What a great map.

Seriously, talk to Worms about pub servers. This man knows what pub servers need. Like no dead ringer and a 24/7 bot that plays only phlog pyro.

So, right now Computer (Team Celebrity's co-lead and server guy) and I have talked a bit about what we're putting on the server in terms of maps and plugins.
Server will be no-crit and no-spread. There will be, to start, no whitelist. If certain weapons become unbearable, we can discuss banning them or finding plugins to modify them when needed (weapons in question might be the Phlog or Pompson). It will be based in Chicago through NFO. Celebrity Gaming only uses NFO servers and we've found they are very good and dependable servers.
In terms of maps, we're going to be running a bunch of comp maps in addition to the stock ones. There will only be one or two CTF maps (doublecross andm as requested, turbine_pro), and maps like trainsawlaser and wubwubwub will be included due to request (and I think many of those who requested the latter are comp players, too). One thing that many people asked for was the inclusion of tc_hydro, and we've been all for running that map from the start.
In terms of plugins, now. Frag radio is being run, and various SourceMod plugins like SMAC. There may be a few more for some behind the scenes ease, but Computer knows these better than I do. One thing we are going to be doing is adding a plugin to nerf the Short Circuit back to pre-buff quasi-uselessness.
Class limits will probably be as follows: no more than 2 of any class on any team. Reason for this is because a lot of people expressed a want to limit engies, spies, and snipers, so we decided to make that board wide. The server will be 12v12 at most, so a class limit of 2 for every class will be helpful and shouldn't get in the way. That being said, if we need to change it later, we most certainly can. This can happen either by community input or by our own deductions.
SPEAKING OF A COMMUNITY. It has always been my goal to get a community base around this server. That way, should the server take off and stay rather full, we can totally add more servers to the group! A community also helps in feedback and responses, so it helps us learn what works and doesn't work in terms of plugins, maps, and the like.
Later today I will be talking with computer about the remainder of the plugins and the like, we'll be hopefully starting to set up the server, and also make a steam group for it, the address of which WILL be shared as soon as we do so.

no class limits. it promotes bad players to hop on the classes and not give them up for the whole map.

Class limits also prevent the entire team going engie or demo or sniper or spy or heavy or any of the classes, really. Whilst we won't limit every class to 2, we are planning on having them for every class for fairness' sake.

Unfortunately, I want this to be more or less fair for everyone. I've received several requests to limit snipers, spies, and engies for what should be obvious reasons. I can't limit them and not limit other classes (although they probably will have higher limits than 2). What will happen is that I will listen to feedback, so if things aren't working, talk to either Computer or I (I'll be making the group in a mo) and we'll be able to look at changing things.
