    well I can't be there on sunday.
    But that isn't all of a big deal. I mean we don't always need to be there together. if atleast one of us and some other admins are there, I don't see a problem.

    To be fair, if you want numbers, friday and saturday are probably the worst times to do it.

    Sunday - Thursday will easily get the most.

    I'm gonna change my vote to saturday I think..
    Sunday would be the best for now, but if my vacation is over I have to do loads of homework on sunday xD.. Saturday would suit the best in that case, because on Friday I often stay in Bergen op Zoom after school (it's 23 km from home to school, so it's no option to go home first and go back afterwards xD), so I'm gonna change it to saturday I think..

    well i still think sunday is better because friday's i always need a drink haha :lol:

    ok i think these are the settings that are going to change on custom evening start:

    - 32 slots (instead of 24)
    - RTV percentage will be tuned down a litle (less players have to RTV)
    - Custom only vote (same mapvote just custom maps)
    - stats OFF


    please tell me if i missed something or you think we should disable/enable something during the custom evening

    Absolutely agree!
    You can even add there something like Deathmatch, Random Weapons, GunGame modes.
    And enable it... not every FUNday, maybe just once in month or so.

    Oh and Friday - my vote.

    Okay, because it's almost friday and it's an equal score for friday and sunday, I'll change my saturday vote into friday, simply because friday would suit me better than sunday. So I guess friday wins

    Okay.. The result of the first custom funday:

    FAILURE

    Improvements for next funday:
    - More LethalZone players (we only had like 4 max this evening)
    - Stats should actually be disabled since we decided that they should be disabled. Many people joined and left again because the stats still were enabled.. Also the player cap was going to be 32, but it was still 24..
    - Server crashed around 9 pm, which blew up the server filling again, and I don't think it's going to get anywhere near full anymore tonight..

    Too bad the first evening had to be like this :( Hope the next ones will be better!

    EDIT:
    New status:

    More Fun Than Failure!


    After the server crash, when I rejoined, more people like ransacker and madman etc joined the server, so it was pretty fun after all, with a max player number of 14. Still too bad that almost nobody from this forum was there :( Some of the maps were great!

    my opinion:
    PART I FROM 7.00 PM TILL 21.25 AM
    It went fine and it was fun until it crashed.
    Probably due the map Pl_crazy_petes
    and it's a shame lot of LZers left after that and didn't return. :(

    PART II FROM 21:25 PM TILL 0:30: AM
    luckily I didn't want to see this special night come to an end, so after a goldrush warmup
    and then a custom PL map at 21.25 PM gave it a nice restart.
    the player count usually was around 7/7 or more which meant you didn't had to walk for hours
    untill you found an enemy :p.
    it was pretty fun, though some maps were sometimes a little bit too big.
    That cauldron map for example (the one which was almost totally in DEV textures) was a bit
    too big and also caused for a lot of endless battles.
    the snow levels weren't played at all, I've only seen the coldfront map i think. (and that was already on the end of the customnight)

    I did see some regulars and LZers run around and it was pretty fun.
    Btw, the whole stats and larger server went a little bit wrong
    due Khadgar wasn't online, who would do these things. (Bucket didn't knew the commands)
    I also had the feeling lot of people didn't even knew about the custom night,
    even though there was a announcement.
    Overall I think it went pretty well and think we should do it again! ^^
