Absurd Minds

I've changed around The Asylum just a little bit. It is still running the set of Operation maps, but it now has slightly more casual settings.

• $16000 start money
• Greater round win/loss bonuses to maintain money
• Friendly Fire off Friendly fire on
• Alltalk is still off and Deadtalk is still on
• Competitive timer settings
• Defuser allocation
• 15 rounds, no half time 30 rounds with half time

The server runs two alternating map cycles. The first map cycle is all of the official Valve maps. The second rotation is all of the Operation maps. I am currently trying to find a way to automate a weekly alternation of the two cycles so I don't forget. I might not be able to do it weekly - I might end up having to do it something like Saturday-Tuesday is Rotation A and Wednesday-Friday is Rotation B.

I think this will help keep the server populated.

I've added the newest operation maps to the server.

Feedback: I still see everybody playing casual but not willing to populate the asylum Even if 4 people play in the asylum, it fills up quickly once we start playing in it, and it ends up being super similar to casual.

agreed, we need to play in there more instead of normal casual.

If we do, though, let's remember our clan values. Let's communicate with the team, attempt the objective, etc. Servers like that can really easily fall into a mode where people just buy some random weapon, rush away from the team, and die immediately. We need to make sure that doesn't happen to it.

I like the new setup. This should keep the server populated and like Amaroq said, keep it competitive and communicate. No freelancing!!

Updated the Asylum to include this:

• 15 rounds, no half time 30 rounds with half time

Is/Was there any way to do 15 rounds with half time? I personally liked the shorter game times since it allows for a variety of maps to be played. It also helps because instead of having people leave after playing one map, they tend to stick around for 2-4 maps. The only thing I didn't like was not being able to play both sides.

The rotation from standard to operation maps is a great idea and I hope you can get it to auto switch.

Yes, I can lower the round count. Since the money is buffed i don't really see any problem with that. How about 20, to make it 10 per side? I can put it to 16, too if you want.

lets try 10 per side for now

I turned FF back on in the Asylum. I think it's weird to only have one server with FF off. Let me know if you want me to revert it.

yes good

This applies for both Asylum and Sanitarium - the Asylum doesn't allow you to vote to change maps, and the Sanitarium's map change function doesn't work after the vote completes. I don't play them much at all now because they both start on Dust II, and I've played that so much my eyes bleed. Also Overpass isn't included in the Sanitarium's maplist, I think.

I can't fix the sanitarium issue. As I've mentioned before, it's a valve bug.

I'll do the other things, tough.

Oh coolness. Honestly, it's just nice if they're not both stuck on the same initial map ahaha

So apparently Asylum and Sanitarium both have identical map vote features. I don't know why you can't vote for maps in the Asylum.
