POLL: Add ztn & trdm maps to DM

[yahoo]

I do indeed want to 'stir argument' as you put it Yahoo, but only because I have the best interests of the Quake 2 community at heart.

well you can start by donating.

so supposedly the best interests of the Q2 community are served by you repeatedly spraying us with condescending posts chock full of logical fallacies and trolling attempts?

you're a loony.

Funny choice of word but I couldnt agree more..

What, exactly, is so bad about the maps I proposed?

There is nothing wrong with the proposed maps, they just fit better on Mutant.  Mutant was setup exactly for these types of maps.
DM is DM1-DM8, it is the most populated server so that should have told you something about if people like the current setup.

fat kid tubby:
type "goto dm2"
you have all ztn maps there and chastity.
im not sure about the rotation there, but you can propose a rotation for dm2 (like ztn2dm1-ztn2dm5 + q2dm1-dm8....) and even request to quadz to add the other q2rdm maps and if you use invite, more ppl will show up!

 

that would be a nice server

I sort of thought that dm maps would fit quite well on dm.

you're a loony.

I'm taking medication for that.

Thx Zepplin - but all those extraneous servers are empty 99% of the time, and invite never seems to work for me - I don't know why.
As for requests to quadz, well, let's just say I'm probably not on his christmas gift list right now.

i still think its a good idea, and you can try that. Im in to play in dm2 with a rotation like that!
about dm, leave it just with q2dm1-8. I play there everydays, and the only boring map is DM4!!!

If players are looking "for that non-stock experience" wouldn't DM be empty and Mutant be populated?     Tubby and his blinding logic.

Theres your answer!
people likes DM the way it is.



PS.

You need to troll harder coz Duke is back.

The thing is, DM MAPS is almost a meaningless classification.
There are effectively only 3 kinds of quake 2 map that are used on servers

jump, single player and multiplayer.

'DM maps' just means maps that have more than one spawn and usually a weapon pickup to facilitate multiplayer deathmatch of some sort. Of the 3 kinds of map mentioned above, the original single player and almost all multiplayer maps (original and 3rd party) can all be used as DM Maps.

Anyone who makes a map with multiple spawnpoints and some weps/items has effectively created a DM MAP.

If being a DM MAP is the classification that makes something fit for use on the DM server as you are ASSUMING, almost every map ever made for q2 would fit that bill.
