I'm planning on purchasing a 20 player server for SourceForts, it won't be aligned to any clan but clans without servers will be able to request it for scrims and matches and I could possibly let it out as an open server for league matches, if the league admins wanted it. It will be a DigiS server, with admin being given to DigiS admins who have proved themselves on other servers, and people I hand pick.

I am also working on a script that will automatically clan stack if an option is selected in mani admin, and it will only work if there are half as many clanners as pubbers. There is also a website in the works currently where admins can remotely admin, and clans can request a private match.

I want to know what people actually enjoy playing, so if as many people as possible fill in the following, it would help then I can tailor it to the community:

What blocklimit would you like to see?
What round times would you like to see?
Any changes to class speeds?
Full ammo at start?
Entrances or no entrances?
Which non-standard maps would you like to see in rotation?
Do you have any ideas for combatting grieffing?

The following plugins will be installed:
Mani Admin, Freezestatus, auto-clan stack.

To begin with, forty blocks blocklimit. Rounds should be limited to ten minutes for both combat rounds, and ten minutes for both build rounds. There should be no more than two build and combat rounds, or else people begin to grow tired of the match. Set "sv_maxspeed 400", but don't use the full ammo script. Just have no build rules, and for the love of God do not play crap maps. Stick to official maps for now, and only add tried and true custom maps. Add, "You Grief? You BANNED!" in gigantic letters to the MOTD.

Hey Sayyan, great to hear your gonna start your own server!
What blocklimit would you like to see?
I think 50 or 75 blocks to begin with, if more is wanted, admin should add them.
What round times would you like to see?
Possibly 500 to 600 seconds for first build, 500 to 600 seconds for combat, 200 to 300 seconds for second build, and 500 to 600 seconds for final combat.
Any changes to class speeds?
I don't think this is necessary
Full ammo at start?
Nope, best that people go and get their ammo
Entrances or no entrances?
Entrances
Which non-standard maps would you like to see in rotation?
I don't know what are standard and not standard, so I will just say what ones I like. Skywalk, Sphinx, Tactical...that's about it...
Do you have any ideas for combatting grieffing?
Have admins who play often...Xfire account especially for the server...
Can't wait to see your server

What block limit would you like to see?
An average blocklimit, people need to know how to build minimalistic, although high enough so you can still experiment and build add ons of bunkers. Around 50 or 60, give or take 10.

What round times would you like to see?
Again, average round times. 900 for first build, 500 seconds for first combat, then 350 for second build, and a big whole 800 of combat to finish the match. [Is that average?.. Might make the match too long I don't pay attention to timers really unless they're below 50 seconds : P

Any changes to class speeds?
No changes to class speed, although I must say soldier really pisses me off sometimes. ^^

Full ammo at start?
No full ammo scripts, I like them but it sort of ruins the point of the boxes being there, as they'll only be used for refilling.

Entrances or no entrances?
Here I think some sort of vote should be made for ents or no ents, although most of the time less experienced players will constantly vote for ents. Not too sure about this. Otherwise no build rules please.

Which non-standard maps would you like to see in rotation?
I can't make a list right now
edit: BUT actually what Minty said.. I liked sf_basic.. thats about it for now.

Do you have any ideas for combating griefing?
[did your keyboard spazz there?] Hell yes. A ton of admins. And Stieffers' idea.


Also. WAHEY NEW SERVER!11!1!

Isn't that going to cost a lot? But great idea though!! It's very rare that you find nice people.

What blocklimit would you like to see?
i think the best at the moment is 50

What round times would you like to see?
600 first biuld? more is too long, less isnt ususlly long enough

Any changes to class speeds?
sniper sprint > now

Full ammo at start?
arr

Entrances or no entrances?
entrances = better gameplay

Which non-standard maps would you like to see in rotation?
the lot :P

Do you have any ideas for combatting grieffing?
none that are legal...

Right I've had a chance to get some replies, but please keep them coming. Currently the projected cost will be between £20-£30 a month (just checking something with the £20 provider) although I can pay for this every month, it would be nice to get some donations coming in to keep the server going, especially the very first payment. There will be a donations section to the website, but if anyone wants to donate before then, please PM or e-mail me and I will organise that.
