#1:  Map of the Week! (SUMMER 2012) Author: BECK Post You have posted in this forum: Tue May 22, 2012 9:39 am

Okay - so we've decided that a map of the week idea is a cool idea.

Here's how it is going to work:


  • The server will run the same 31 maps each week until we change them. These are the maps we've voted on.
  • One map will change each week - uploaded on Friday Monday morning and will run until the following Friday Monday.
  • ACTIVE members of the clan will each get a week (see below) where they can pick ANY map they want on the server.
  • The person suggesting the map MUST provide me with a download URL for it. Best place for maps: http://www.wolffiles.de/index.php?filebase&cat=1&scat=12
  • The map will be on for Friday games, and it would be nice if it got voted by members at least once - preferably when the person who picked it is actually on Smile.
  • Please be a good sport and play the damn map even if you hate it. Worst case, you lose 30 minutes of your life, but in exchange someone else gets to play a map they love.
  • If you don't want to pick a map (out of town or w/e that week) you can switch with someone else.
  • If you don't care to pick a map, you can be skipped for the next person in the list.
  • The list will start over fresh (maybe with new people???) when we go through everyone.
  • Can be a map that was previously voted off


The spirit here is to give active members a chance to see a map they love but doesn't usually get voted to include. Its also a way to maybe discover some really great maps that have otherwise been forgotten or overlooked. If a map is a hit, it will be certainly eligible for inclusion as part of the 31-map grouping in the future.

So - the randomly generated list of active members who will select maps is:

May 28 - Jester (completed: picked MP Sub Final)
June 4 - Pete (completed: picked UFO Final)
June 11 - Sir Sux-A-Lot (completed: picked Return to Carnage Canyon 2)
June 18 - Allagor (completed: Pantherbase)
June 25 - Hobbs Substitute: bumpkin (completed: Ghost Town Sniper)
July 2 - Venom (Completed ET Beach Invasion)
July 9 - Pumpkin (Completed: Fast Frag b2)
July 16 - V2 (Completed: Tram Fight)
July 23 - Miller (Completed: Baserace)
July 30 - Scopey (Completed: Axis Lab)
August 6 - Mario (Completed: X-Posed)
August 13 - Bak3d (week missed, never chose a map)
August 20 - BECK (Completed: Gold Days)
August 27 - Hobbs (Completed: Goldeneye Temple)
September 3 - Nort (On the server: Tarbox Island)



If you are NOT in the list, but feel like you should be, I'll add you. But I generated this list based on who plays regularly at this time.

Alright - looking forward to seeing how this goes!

First pick goes to Jester! So take your time, you've got until Friday to pick a map (obviously, don't pick one we're already adding).

awesome, but the logistics are a bit off in terms of timing..


lets have the person pick on monday, that way we have a chance to play the map all week and then when friday hits, we should all be ready for it.

alright, works for me. Changed above.

#4:   Author: PumpkiN Post You have posted in this forum: Tue May 22, 2012 4:00 pm

perfect.

#5:   Author: Venom Post You have posted in this forum: Tue May 22, 2012 6:28 pm

Looks good

#6:   Author: PistolPete Post You have posted in this forum: Tue May 22, 2012 9:22 pm

...june 15...alla I'll hurt you silly if you pick SABRESPEAK!!!!!

#7:   Author: BECK Post You have posted in this forum: Wed May 23, 2012 8:39 am

Hope Jester doesn't miss out on his week! If he does, I can just swap him with someone else.

#8:   Author: PumpkiN Post You have posted in this forum: Wed May 23, 2012 5:27 pm

if he is late, its for the better. it would make sense to have him pick it on monday. all the dates just need to be pushed back 3 days.

so may 28 is tha day he needs to pick it. we then got 5 days to have it chill on the rotation, then come friday we all hopefully play it on a full server.

#9:   Author: BECK Post You have posted in this forum: Thu May 24, 2012 11:03 am

okay changed the dates above. Jester has until Monday now.

So the map of the week this week will be Erdenburg, since it was the one I was gonna nuke anyway :/

#10:   Author: PumpkiN Post You have posted in this forum: Thu May 24, 2012 11:36 am

all is correct!

#11:   Author: BECK Post You have posted in this forum: Thu May 24, 2012 12:59 pm

Just some clarifications because some of us interpreted this idea differently.

- The map you pick can be ANY map - could be a map that has been on the server before - a map that was just voted off - a map that you've always wanted to try - a gigantic ass MLB map - a tiny little 1v1 map - even a map that's already IN the current rotation.

Then when you are on Friday night to play, we'll arrange the voting so that this map gets at least one play. If its already a map people like and it happens to be back for a week (like maybe Troop Train or something) it might get votes anyway, it just depends. But if the person who picked the map makes a concerted effort to show up and play that night, we at least owe it to that person to play their map. And hopefully we can all be adults and not bitch and complain and go afk because you don't like the map or w/e.

Anyway, I think this should be interesting - I'm specifically going to find an obscure map that hardly anyone has ever played for my week. How you choose to pick your map is all up to you.

Rolling Eyes So Fellas....

For the map that i chose.... I looked long and hard through the lists of endless silly maps. Well *drumroll* please.....


I chose MP SUB Final

I chose this one because its an old school RTCW map and i am hoping to have fun with this one, like i used to.
I hope everyone can enjoy it and hope to see it soon.

And if anyone has anything to say i thought and sought long and hard for a map that i thought would be a great start to this new idea to our server.

good choice! i approve!

#15:   Author: BECK Post You have posted in this forum: Thu May 24, 2012 8:56 pm

Alright, it won't be on until MOnday. Thanks for choosing! We had that one on before a year or so ago.
