Due to the crashing issues that still haven't been patched, the server really only plays the first half of the rotation (cp_dustbowl to around cp_gorge, if we're lucky), and has been like that for a while now (yesterday had a full rotation, but today it got to koth_badlands and crashed, then gorge, then all the way to hightower). The request is to bump the rotation to start at cp_gorge or maybe fastlane, then continue as it would normally, ending with Degroot or Badwater.
It's a minor complaint/request, but I miss Turbine and the rest of that part of the rotation on #1.

Seconded. The constant restart of the rotation is a pain in the ass.
On a similar note I nominate Dopp as a late-night ass-crack of dawn admin. Every now and then a server needs reset with the recent rash of crashes and #1 dies for hours on end or there are a gaggle of asshats with nothing better to do and no matter how many votekicks get started nothing works. If not dopp someone else with a similarly level-headed temperament that's regularly active that part of the day.

I'm for this. Wouldn't mind seeing a few maps weeded out of the rotation as well, but changing the first map after a crash would be helpful for the current issue.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.

It could also be changed to just pick a random map from rotation after crash.

yes i ban for that because you should not be able to get up on the walls until you have both A and B captured.
it's exploiting.
is jumping rocks and ramps on every map cheating? no. Just there.
play the map like you're supposed to and no one gets banned

That would work too, though I personally prefer just bumping the rotation starting point for ease of work and because it will happen that the server will crash 100 times in one day and every random map pick will be hoodoo.

You're the only one that bans for it though (well, really, you're the only admin I ever see on aside from Fusion in the middle of the day). Every time Degroot comes up I put the reminder in chat about rock jumping being a no-no and every time half the server (especially the regulars) ignores the warning. (And no, I don't use contact admin for it since there are so many demopults, every time, and no one complains about it.)

What about caber jumping up to the battlements, I do that all the time.
