well for years cdrive was 24/7 ava then i started working in a couple other maps (of which hill wasnt on till after quite a while) but avalanche still weighed pretty heavily and was the only map in rotation (while there would still be votes for other maps) then i worked in hill classic into the rotation with ava but have always tried to have avalanche get more play time over hill.. as i really still view the server as a 24.7 ava server plus a little more lol

..so our roots are deep in avalanche.. especially for us who have been in cdrive for years..


and probably the only time an admin is extending ava even when the vote is different.. is when im on.. lol.. not sure if anyone else does that, or can do that lol.. and i dont really play much anymore.. so if im able to get on for an hour or two.. you can damn well believe im playing the map I want!

one reason i hate hill, and probably the other admins do too, is because whenever we are playing on hill.. we dont really get to play... we have to spend the whole game babysitting everyone cause the only reason half the ppl want to play that map is cause they can camp the whole time with sniper in the back corners of it... or go and camp the enemy spawn and rack up kills... theres a very small percentage of ppl who actually capture flags and 'move' in the map compared to the amount of ppl whole just prone in the bushes or camp spawns

it would just be stupid to always have a map running that none of the ppl who actually maintain the server ever want to play on...

i could just go back to how things used to be.. and sorta what i miss.. and that'd be just a modded ava server... BUT by adding other maps.. im trying to give people what they want without giving up what i want... and people that basically want it to be a 24/7 hill server are free to go play css instead

c:/247 ava NO BEANERS NO CS PLAYERS>>>>>

those were the days.

hahah yessss the no beaner days

Dia can you limit the time's Hill shows up on votes? like every other vote so if its not on there to vote for people might pick sumtin else just a suggestion :)

There should be an option that lets me ban everyone who votes for hill. Seriously.

And there's a shitload of ava, even for a 24/7 ava server. Donner, flash, anzio, kalt, and even occasionally caen are fun. Forest is awesome when the server's at 18+/21.

Coltron put you up to that, didn't he?
 

I hope you die and go to a place where the teletubbies are played 24/7 and you're forced to watch it with cotton mouth.

I've said it numerous times. Sticking my dick in a cheese grater is 10x more fun than hill. Lets see why it gets voted. Hill is an easy map for bad players to sit in one spot and get their rare 1:1 ratio.


The majority of the server votes hill.
The majority of the server is filled with bad players.

you ever tried that? you never know, It could feel nice :D lmao

I actually LOVE hill, I think its a great map, but everytime it comes on I leave because I know nub campers are gonna have much more fun on it than myself :(

I do have an idea to stop newcomers camping spawns though (and now my brain hurts real bad after thinking it up :s )
A simple poster on the spawn walls indicating where you cant go.
eg, in axis house, 'DO NOT ENTER THE ALLIED FORT' etc
at least then, newcomers cant go 'oh, well I didnt know' :mad:

something that wouldnt allow any fire inside the fort would be useful too, the amount of times ive seen a sniper or mg set up next to the left wall is ridiculous. I know youre not supposed to shoot into spawn, but if theyre trying to shoot me from inside there, Im going to shoot them.
axis cant shoot into it, so allies shouldnt be allowed to camp in there and shoot out, knowing they cant be hit

on allies, I have actually had a guy sneak in, come up the tower, and KNIFE me, TWICE :eek: then say 'how else was I supposed to kill you?'
since there seems to be a glitchy thing going on there, and you stick out like a sore thumb when youre up there, the tower should be excluded from the camping thing :)

jesus, if I can kill someone in the tower with an mp40 from across the map, surley it cant be that difficult........

I like slapping people up high on that map...
or off the edge of the fort into the water ^^

I like throwing smokes in front of where krissi is prone with sniper...Or any other sniper or mg makes them mad :) and normally makes them move
