So yea I can't use any of my heavy achievements on the server. Why? They work on every other server. Do you restrict it or something? Particularly my sandvich!

Being a sourceop regular and a reserved slot holder Im starting a petition 2 get Soko banned from sourceop permanently.I unfortunately have no recorded demos but he has been called into question by almost everyone who plays on (sourceop 24/7 2fort) since hes started playing there.
To tell u the truth i could care less if hes hacking or not... the dudes a total douchebag and a asshole to everyone on the server! It ruins it for the regz who have donated money and play everyday on the server.
I dont think these great servers would miss anything if Soko was gone.
Please Post here if you would like to see Soko perm banned.

Thx Mr.PLow


  Team Stack Problem

I know this sounds like whining, but the team stacking in your valve map tf2 servers is getting rediculous. This is how it works....

There are a few main/good players who play in the servers A LOT. They tend to attract other decent players who play in server. This means that all the majority of the players are trying to get on the team that has all the good players, EVERY SINGLE MAP. I can't remember a time when i was in your servers when one team wasn't rolling another one.

Some possible fixes for this would be to not allow people to press tab to see who is on red/blue team at the team select screen. I don't know if this is possible but it would help hugely.
Or, there could be a time limit to select a team before you get auto'd.
Adding the command !teamscramble would be good also so taht people can vote to scramble the teams if it gets bad.

I know i'm not the only one pissed off about the stacking. I see people complaining about STACKING at the beginning of every round, and the end.

If you could find some cure for this fix it would MUCH APPRECIATED. I've been playing in your servers for a long time now and I'm starting to get frustrated with this issue. Thanks for any help..


  Arena server suggestions/questions

Hi, this is DoubleUTF. I'm a regular on the sourceop arena server. I just broke 10,000 points on the server rankings, so I figured it's about time to come and do something instead of just thinking about it.

I noticed that Orci posted a thread a while back about sitting out and alltalk. I'd like to add to his ideas and also suggest some new ones.

About sitting out: I think that making the server 12v12 is the best solution, and it solves the problem completely.

However, there's an alternate solution that I wouldnt mind (though I really have no idea this would be implemented instead of 12v12, this is more of an idea than a real solution)

If, say, the amount of people on the server is more than 8v8, would it be possible to allow an odd number on players on the team? Any regular can confirm this: When arena matches get big, it really comes down to the few star players on each team. Having an extra player there is unlikely to make a difference. This would also enable something that I really want to do: the ability to spectate. As of now, you can only spectate when you are sitting out, but there are times when I would like to manually choose to spectate.

Alltalk: I support Orci completely. I thought i'd have something to add, but i like his idea and theres no way I could make it better.

Watchtower: When I was playing today i saw a vote being called to eliminate watchtower from the rotation. I assume this was an admin's doing, or it was automated. Anyway, almost every one of the top 20-30ish regulars and i (i think i am ranked 17 right now?) agree that watchtower is a terrible, terrible arena map. For those that dont play arena regularly, it might seem like a decent map or you might even scoff at me bringing up this issue, but watchtower is truly a terrible map. I could go into detail if someone wants me to, but the point is the group of people who contribute the most hours to the sourceop server almost unanimously agree that watchtower should be removed. Hell, i plan my gameplay around watchtower: When watchtower comes up in the rotation, it's time to take a break for 30 minutes until that hellhole of a map is over.

Also, I dont really have a solution for this problem, but....votekick is useless. Granted, 90% of the time we just have fun with good decent people, but there are mic spammers and text chat spammers that just come back the second they are votekicked, or they initiate the votekick the moment it is cooled down, leaving us unable to votekick for however long the cooldown period is. IMO there isn't much to be done about this besides having admins be there more on the server. (or at all, loll)

Those are all of my suggestions. Whether or not they are taken into consideration, sourceop will continue to be THE server to play arena on.

haha time to make a massive post even bigger. I dont know if sourceop does tournaments (although i noticed some tournament threads in the forums), but I would really enjoy an arena tournament. All we would win is recognition, but i enjoy playing with the regulars so much that playing arena at all is good enough. I thought of this idea because the Slaughterhouse guys just started hosting their first monthly 4v4 arena tournament. I found out about theirs because I was playing in their server one day when their admin announced it. The cash prize of the tournament certainly appealed to me, but what was really awesome was the idea of the tournament itself. I have never seen an arena tournament before (which is pretty justified, since most people think it's not as legitimate a game mode...which is pretty true). But I think it can be both competitive and fun enough to be in a tournament format. I've already told many of the regulars to make their own teams for next month's tournament, but it'd be a lot more enjoyable to play with an organization i am already familiar with. I understand if there isnt anybody with enough spare time to set up and organize a tournament, but I just wanted to say that there would be no shortage of interested players. (I would say 50-60 players easily)

  Beer of choice? Homebrewers?

Currently, I'm sampling Alpha Kings Three Floyd Pale Ale.

Any of the Samuel Smith brews are usually my go to beer at the moment.

Any recommendations? I think I'm up to 300 different beers, so if you can find one I haven't tried, it would be appreciated.

My cousins all home brew and if I move to CO, it's kind of requisite that you brew your own beer. Any of you homebrew?

I'm really really annoyed right now. This will be the second time in maybe 2 months I'm reformatting my computer. This time it started with half my ram acting up so I have that packed up in a nice little box that I need to mail back to crucial for replacements. Lately though I've been crashing while playing tf2 and yesterday I crashed not long after signing on and was enjoying some medic play. Game crashes, I come back to discover conflicting driver issues, and after about a day of working it my sound card still refuses to work properly. It's times like this I wish I had already installed and gotten used to Linux. Most likely though I'll get windows back up and running and then put it off again until I feel the MS pains again.
