Obviously population dropped because school started, as it does every year. I'm sure there's a few ways we could get more people in.....or keep the people there that come in. ~Go Go map discussion~ Just saying, some maps kill server more than they usually do. Comments, ideas. Terrorism? Brought to you by the holy leader : ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Link to comment

I wouldn't ever ask to remove it though, I think a different variety in maps would be a better alternative than to blame one map or another. Also the old versions of razor suck dick. 1 Link to comment

Make new ones then lol. The problem that I have seen develop from the time I've been managing PB is that maps aren't consistently made for CSS JB, unless they're custom made (which is good that we actually have a few people here that do that). And for the few maps that are made, they have to fit the criteria of being not solely death game oriented, not be too massive, not lag, and not be ridiculously one-sided. It's really not as simple as "derp add more maps". 2 Link to comment

It's really not as simple as "derp add more maps". I'm not looking to compare, but what Swede did with the ZM/ZE maps in "brainz are good" has really got some thoughts going in my head. What I mean by that is how the maps were more limited, and dictated based on how the population was doing. I think we could do something similar here. example : If the server has >10 people, the server shouldn't be looking to go to one of the original razor maps. Most people just go full retard and pick whatever they see already getting voted for. Putting 10 people on Ba_razor_oldmap whatever its called, turns really bad really fast. you either get 3 CTs and 7 Ts, causing stale orders or mass chaos with freekilling, bam server dead....or you get 7 CTs and 3 Ts, with of course no admin. I'm sure you can figure out the rest. Link to comment

It's the rules that drive most people off the server because you cannot force deathgames or go on CT and be a massive dick to everyone. That and because jailbreak is pretty old and boring. All you have on it now are tryhards Link to comment

Not really; it makes our PB stand out immensely, in a good way. 2 Link to comment

Gmod PB is horrible because you just get forced into some stupid death game that you don't know the rules to and die immediately. Link to comment
Dr Pepper Posted October 4, 2013 Content Count: 356 Joined: 05/29/12 Status: Offline Share Posted October 4, 2013 i find the server to be boring because there isnt death games or a warden to give orders without confusion. sure its probally some 40yo pedo bear with social and mommy issues but idc thats what makes it so fun Link to comment
