Sometimes I'm on the server admining by myself and having more people to handle on that server would just make my head explode. I say that because pretty much every death on T side is a freekill according to the players. 2 Link to comment
Cam Posted December 11, 2016 Content Count: 1193 Joined: 06/28/16 Status: Offline Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) I don't think it would hurt to increase to 26 or 28, but more would be too much imo... The one and only issue I would have with the slots increasing is the same issue as @sean brought up. JB is pretty chaotic when there are a lot of people online, and sometimes admins aren't able to be there at the very moment... Therefor leading to angry kids yelling through their mic that they were freekilled and continually asking for an admin over one incident. My point is, if it is going to be increased, it shouldn't be any more than 3 or 4 if that many. I think 26 or 27 would be perfect.

This makes it a bit hellish for CTs when making orders and for admins when it comes to trying to get rule breakers. If it does get increased it probably shouldn't be more than 2-4 imo. 2 Link to comment

There are cases that 3 CT have to deal with 17 Ts Link to comment
Mad Dogg Posted December 11, 2016 Content Count: 2844 Joined: 10/28/09 Status: Offline Share Posted December 11, 2016 I would not go increasing the slots from our 24 slots. We have had the 24 slots for as long as I can remember and it has been working flawlessly. It can be chaotic, but still manageable. The 24 slots also offers us the 9:15 CT to T ratio, which I find is the perfect for most of the jb maps. Another thing is that we have hosted jb events where we increased the slots to 28 or 30. The problem with it was, that there were limited spawn points on some maps, so some people couldn't join a team and had to join spectators. Also it was very chaotic and we agreed that 24 slots was better. Link to comment
asdfg Posted December 11, 2016 Content Count: 1421 Joined: 12/22/15 Status: Offline Share Posted December 11, 2016 JB already is chaos with 24 people. We do not need more slots. It will not be fun unless you are a part of the chaos and as an admin I can't participate in that sort of stuff as i am supposed to be stopping it. It will also increase the amount of rule breakers that go unoticed with little freekills here and there or someone says the N word on mic because so many people are talking at once. So no, it's too much and should not be increased. Link to comment
smiley :] Posted December 11, 2016 Content Count: 1154 Joined: 09/08/12 Status: Offline Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) I think we're fine with our 24 slots.. As others have stated, it's chaotic already as it is. We literally have everyone talking over each other, people screaming and almost all of the t's screaming free kill. And on top of that, people start to bash on admins for not seeing everything. Sometimes, it does get difficult to admin PB alone, so I feel like if we add more slots, it's only going to get harder.

No slot increase is the best slot increase. 1 Link to comment
