Announcements

2024-08-15
-Added Frankfurt server due to flakiness in Paris server

2024-08-11
-Overhauled map rotation. Arena is back! It appears most of our playerbase is now not from quickplay, therefore this shouldn't be a problem anymore.
-We now have multiple weekly server play events! Join the steam group for more info, and especially the steam group chat where you can get immediate notifications for play sessions since the built-in group event feature doesn't really work.

2024-07-03
-Enabled Sudden Death on all servers.

2024-06-26
-Added Paris server
-Added asteroid and cactuscanyon to the rotation. From now on, rotation updates will be on the steam group thread, it's a little too tedious to put them here.

2024-06-25
-Added updated version of nomination/rtv/scramble plugins. These should work better now. Scramble no longer resets the map time
-Removed per-round autobalancing for some maps. I don't think this is necessary now that the scramble plugin works correctly
-Added Suijin, Doomsday, Mossrock, and Altitude to the map list. If you have map suggestions, feel free to join the steam group and voice your ideas! (No guarantees they will be added)
-Added daily server restarts. These occur at 5am in whatever timezone the server is running in. Should prevent issues that occur from servers being on for too long

2024-06-24
-Reverted the time limits for maps. We're back to 45 per map
-Added nomination/rtv plugin. If this turns out to be too much of a problem, I'm going to remove it and we'll go back to regular map cycle.

2024-06-20
-Added a new scramble system, using a plugin instead of the built-in so the game isn't reset
-Added map timeouts for individual gamemodes. Generally, maps that are asymmetrical have a 2 round limit, and maps that are symmetrical have a 30 minute time limit. Small exceptions exist for maps like hydro or powerhouse. Extension votes increase the time by 15 minutes and 1 round for each type respectively.

2024-06-18
-We have a steam group now! It's pretty empty. I hope it will fill in the weeks to come with people who just want to play some Team Fortress 2. See top of page for more info.
-Added sourcemod to the servers. This comes with an anticheat now, and we've already had our first ban. I have also implemented a basic map voting system.
-Removed Arena maps from the rotation. This is temporary while the mastercomfig quickplay is still growing. Don't worry, you'll see arena back eventually!

2024-06-17
-Renamed servers to the regions they occupy.
-Added Chicago and Atlanta servers.
-Added a few additional maps to the map rotation
-Changed from round limit to time limit for maps
