make sure to advertise the server heavily or it will die soon

ask enigma to add it to the pub servers list on here - http://www.teamfortress.tv/servers/?region=na

why are random crits off

they're a good mechanic in pubs

"Critical hits are one of the features that resulted from our focus on pacing. The Critical hits system attempts to slightly influence the highs and lows of the game by increasing the chance of a Critical hit based upon the player's recent performance. In summary, the better you're doing the more likely you'll continue to do well. This helps create those rare high moments where a single player goes on a rampage and gets three or four kills in rapid succession."

Also, why would you allow the Original?

People voted for no reskins

Quick mention/shameless plug, Sunshine works pretty well in pubs - it's spacious and I've played it in such an environment numerous times before. Just bringing it up since it wasn't really mentioned in the other thread or in the map straw poll.

Nice to see another server running at least some rotation with custom maps, though. Will try to play if I can.

I looked in just now; it was empty. Perhaps getting streamers to fill it/setting a time for people to meet would help it in its early days.

I did this, and I knew at least 2 others who tried the same thing, all servers went ded. Hope this one survives. Summoning Enigma to put it on the server list. Summoning streamers to take a break from Overwatch.
I want a good pub even if it's 120 ping.

because the original isn't a reskin, rockets fire from center screen as opposed to firing from the side

So this is the whitelist (takes care of every stock reskin (botkiller/festive/skins)
How are you enforcing this whitelist? TFTrue?

Trying to get some people in it right now. Come game if you want.

please join the server its definitely better when its full
connect 198.71.80.26

STOP IGNORING THE OBJECTIVE

also please add votekick / afk kick

poor shounic was the only one pushing the cart ;(

The whitelist is based on that but it isn't the actual whitelist. Whitelist.tf, for some reason, always enables weapon skins and action items. I've disabled those manually, along with some reskins (pans).

Yes, TFTrue.

isnt the crossbow allowed now too?

yes, I added it last night. It's in the OP and MOTD now too

you can manually disable all reskins, but weapon skins and certain action items are enabled by default because they don't affect the game unless certain convars are set or map types are loaded.

You can still disable other purely cosmetic items too, though. I feel weapon skins should have their own toggle in the misc section.

what if pyro was limited to a massive number of 0 per team

Remove the spy unlocks and you have yourself a gem!

tf2 pre cancer server

im in

rip pre cancer

You never mentioned Ashville.

It was added post-launch and I forgot to add it to the OP and MOTD, I'll do that tomorrow

guys why are you pubbing at 5am I'm trying to sleep

I was too hyped for the server and my new internet tomorrow. ;-;

i can literally see my monitor wildly flickering from my bed but I'm too lazy to get up and turn it off

tf2 hasnt kept me awake like this in years

edit: it did stop a few minutes ago so i assume you guys dced

4 of us are in right now, it just got to badwater.

Today I'm going to work on getting the server involved with Quickplay.

The following will have to stop happening in order to do so:

• Class limits have to go away.
  
• The player count will have to be raised to 24.
  
• Random crits have to be enabled. Damage spread and bullet spread does not.

Additionally, it's unclear to me whether or not custom maps will stop it from entering Quickplay. If I'm reading their wiki correctly then players won't be shuffled in from Quickplay while the server is on a custom map, but after the map changes to a Valve map Quickplay players will enter again, and they'll stay for the transition to a custom map (if they choose to do so).

How are the player counts on average right now? The most I've ever seen was 8 players in the server, so I think Quickplay might be the solution.

EDIT: I've found some more up-to-date information. Maps from the Workshop are supported if the player opts in in the Quickplay menu. However, random crits have to be enabled, which is a pretty big issue. I'll continue researching and experimenting to see if this is accurate.

You may not be able to enter QuickPlay since you're blacklisting cosmetics:

You can have random crits disabled as long as you don't remove the nocrits tag, but then players will have to choose to play on nocrits servers for them to join your server via QuickPlay.
