Custom monday, to vote or not to vote that is the question

u mean like cp_omahabeach luke ?

 

i just had a (good??) idea,
what if i made a 5th!! vote option on server 1 with eighter the new contestmaps from TF2MAPS or random customs? so we have 3/4 (what do you think is best) stockmaps in the vote and 1 custom map (every day) and on monday host a custom night with a custom mappool like it is now

 

Also try adding cp_follower, it's quite a good map and used in some American league's. Although it might be too granaryish.

Had it in the custom night a few times i will add it to the vote and will see what comes of it

 

think it's obvious imo we can better pull the CTF/PLR maps back out off the cycle on server #1 people just don't want to play custom maps (or just to lazy to learn them haha)

 

It's just the problem that people don't know that these are the contest maps. Then again the general interest in this contest is rather low - just look at the official Contestmap server: Click.

 

yeah intrest in custom maps in general is kind of low

 

Sure this will work? sorry for the negative toughts about it, it's just that i'm trying so hard to find some nice (easy to play) custom maps but people just don't care about them.
i think if they tried they might just like them and it brakes the drag of playing goldrush, dustbowl, granary and gravelpit every time (don't get me wrong i love those maps exept for goldrush that is) like i said somewhere (in dutch) verandering van spijs doet eten (and doel's reply) wat de boer nie kent vreet hij niet hahaha

 

yeah maybe change the custom monday a bit dunno what i can do next haha so for now i'll go with the current system and maybe put a good (tested) custom map in the cycle like cp_freight and such

 

added the valve-comunity maps, now the server isn't so empty so fast but other custom maps don't get that much chance

::EDIT::

just looked at the maps played this custom night and it showed they only picked the comunity maps :s
realy a big bummer for me

 

I like the Custom Mondays, keep up the good work! Auto-scramble would be nice though, if one team is dominating.

Why not take a popular map from Custom Monday and add it to the regular vote menu on other days? I would love to see a good, balanced custom map like cp_labor get some more play time. As long as it shows up on position 1 in the vote menu from time to time, it should get voted in regularly. (or not, but it miught be worth the experiment)

Also, ctf_yaaargh is silly, but fun to play. It gets even sillier when someone inevitably finds out how to turn on the sound system on one of the viking ships, or how to launch team mates with the canons. Would be nice to see that one pop up on a monday.

 

ok yaaaarg will be in next weeks custom night haha was thinking of doing something with fun-customs in that way (yaaarg, baloon-race, etc.) i'll look into the scrambling thing what would work best

 

+1 for no mercy map

that ctf_yaaargh map sounds like awesome fun. Would be nice for a change to see some different fun modes in tf2 on a custom once. You can even host a special fun event for it then

 

anyone intrested to help me with custom monday? cause i'm loosing intrest in it (to much work -> not enough visitors) and download limit is realy getting anoying (damn cheapskates)

 

Yesterday it was custom only on the payload server (for a while) til everyone started dropping. Sure its fun with custom maps sometimes, but most of them really are bad. When I say bad I mean REAL bad.
Maybe have one normal map and then a custom?

Goldrush, Custom, Badwater, Custom.. etc etc ?
