No. 132101
So, right now Computer (Team Celebrity's co-lead and server guy) and I have talked a bit about what we're putting on the server in terms of maps and plugins.
Server will be no-crit and no-spread. There will be, to start, no whitelist. If certain weapons become unbearable, we can discuss banning them or finding plugins to modify them when needed (weapons in question might be the Phlog or Pompson). It will be based in Chicago through NFO. Celebrity Gaming only uses NFO servers and we've found they are very good and dependable servers.
In terms of maps, we're going to be running a bunch of comp maps in addition to the stock ones. There will only be one or two CTF maps (doublecross andm as requested, turbine_pro), and maps like trainsawlaser and wubwubwub will be included due to request (and I think many of those who requested the latter are comp players, too). One thing that many people asked for was the inclusion of tc_hydro, and we've been all for running that map from the start.
In terms of plugins, now. Frag radio is being run, and various SourceMod plugins like SMAC. There may be a few more for some behind the scenes ease, but Computer knows these better than I do. One thing we are going to be doing is adding a plugin to nerf the Short Circuit back to pre-buff quasi-uselessness.
Class limits will probably be as follows: no more than 2 of any class on any team. Reason for this is because a lot of people expressed a want to limit engies, spies, and snipers, so we decided to make that board wide. The server will be 12v12 at most, so a class limit of 2 for every class will be helpful and shouldn't get in the way. That being said, if we need to change it later, we most certainly can. This can happen either by community input or by our own deductions.
SPEAKING OF A COMMUNITY. It has always been my goal to get a community base around this server. That way, should the server take off and stay rather full, we can totally add more servers to the group! A community also helps in feedback and responses, so it helps us learn what works and doesn't work in terms of plugins, maps, and the like.
Later today I will be talking with computer about the remainder of the plugins and the like, we'll be hopefully starting to set up the server, and also make a steam group for it, the address of which WILL be shared as soon as we do so.
GET HYPE.
