    Yammoe is a pretty sweet map, if you don't mind small-medium sized maps.
    The thing is, what is "great" and what is not is extremely subjective. There will always be someone who complains about any given map (e.g. I myself find Military very annoying because Soldiers are nigh invincible with all the 100% health packs to jump to). Although yes, I will agree there are some maps of questionable quality on the PG VSH server. (At least there were the last time I played)
    You can't just say "forcing them to play on these maps will likely cause blah", unless you've done some proper analysis of people's opinions on certain maps. Otherwise you're making that statement solely based on your own opinion.
    In addition, if the "same cycle of maps" doesn't include the lesser played maps, how would you even know whether anyone likes them or not? If they never show up, anyone who's never seen it before won't have any opinions on it.
    If you want to break the "cycle" of overplayed maps, you have to force players to play more maps before being able to rotate back to the overplayed ones. Firstly to add variety, and second to let players discover new maps they may have otherwise never played before.

    some of the maps i listed are just considerations that i thought would be a good idea, i just added arktown and yammoe for random suggestions as i have never played on them and they look interesting. The rest of the maps i have played and they run fine for me
    Also adding more maps that people like will make the rotation between maps longer and have variety in the server, whilst removing some off the less played maps. The exclude plugin would be a good idea except around half the maps on PG are not great and forcing players to play on these maps will likely make them rtv as soon as they can or just leave the server until the map changes.
    Just a thought to consider

    Shouldn't this be in the Team Fortress 2 or Feedback and Suggestions subforums?
    Anyway, on-topic: Arktown kills framerates for some players on not-so-great hardware, even with the skybox disabled. Just a consideration.
    Crevice's download link is seemingly gone, but I'm sure you can find a copy in someone's downloads folder.
    VSH can technically "run" on any map (with varying degrees of success), the map prefix just has to be added to the saxton_hale_maps.cfg file. Though in the case of DM, I think you'd need to use an extension or plugin to add the arena logic entity, otherwise everyone would just keep respawning.
    I can't quite remember how many maps PG has in its rotation, but I think one potential solution to the repetitiveness is increasing the number of previously played maps that are excluded in the nominations list. e.g. if there are say 30 maps, have the plugin exclude the past 23 recently played, leaving 7 to be nominated/randomly picked for voting. That's how I do it to try and force variety on my own server anyway.
    Or, alternatively, just remove nominations entirely and switch to the SourceMod randomcycle system, which (as the name implies) will just randomly cycle through the maps.

    Would it be all right to add new hale maps to the rotation? whilst removing some of the other maps that aren't played as much?
    The hale maps that are played are great, but it gets very repetitive when there is the same cycle of maps : Reservoir, Military, Dust, Track, etc.
    So added new maps would change the cycle and get a fresh cycle.
    Here are some of my suggestions:
    vsh_stream_platform - http://gamebanana.com/maps/162081
    vsh_arktown - http://gamebanana.com/maps/191785
    vsh_yammoe - http://gamebanana.com/maps/191547
    vsh_citypeak_v1 - http://gamebanana.com/maps/170977
    vsh_crevice_ B5 - couldn't find link
    dm_warzone - http://gamebanana.com/maps/73929 (if hale can run on death match)
    Or others
    Would be great change to phantom

    Would be good to have Crevice, and Warzone added to the map rotation. The maps on the server do get really repetitive.

    Frosty reacted to Raven-chan in Moderator to admin   
    1. Why do I want to become Admin instead of Moderator?
    There are many reasons, some examples: getting someone unstuck by teleporting them out, or just reviving someone by accidental slays or map glitches.
    2. What have I done to be recognized by the community?
    I am friendly to the community, always having a laugh and making it a more happy environment. I also never abuse my power, and i am always enforcing the rules to those who don't comply or don't know about the rules.
    3. Age: 16
    4. Am I prepared to be yelled at? Yes, I do try to tell people who like to swear alot that they should try and not do so as much, because many kids play. But if they become to out of control i will simply just gag or mute them.
    Well, ofc. I don't really bother with people who swear or yell. Unless it affects fellow gamers, in that scenario I can simply gag/mute them.
    5. What have I learned from being a moderator?
    I have learned many things from my experience of being a moderator, from dealing with rule breakers, helping out all that i can when someone needs or not, keeping the community nice and friendly. Whilst trying to keep the peace, but punishing those who try to make it and unfriendly place for others.
