Uh...

Inexplicably, people do play the objective in Helltower, even though the bonus is bad. And I like that because I can play objectives better than DM.

Better to post these separately than clutter up TF2 general.   A bad airshot: http://youtu.be/Ow2pvuJOnE8   A botched Kritz: http://youtu.be/tVSQAdfs8pI   A lucky spawncamp: http://youtu.be/b0ns-3YgHj8

Seriously, most of that discussion can and should be moved to a separate thread. I would do it myself, but I don't really feel like doing it right now.

Isn't that pretty much the same thing?

I don't like Hightower because it's become a DM fest, whereas I prefer more of playing objectives. In that way I like Helltower more because you are actually expected to play the objective.   Gunslinger is fun because of the Frontier Justice, and there's nothing more satisfying than popping a jumping soldier with a revenge crit, not to mention effective.

I dunno if you'd recognize me... but I'm technically the "leader" of this "band of misfits", if we're even organized enough for the title.

Yeah, I am. Unfortunately I find that it's the only thing that I can enjoy and that's hilariously effective on a map that I highly dislike.

Because I can.   http://youtu.be/dQmdRDBX0Jc

The issue is not that it's crashing, the issue is that it's taking up so many resources that our server is getting suspended for resource abuse. My host has been nice enough to grant us an exemption for the next few days, but we still won't be able to run two servers at once. I'm testing a workaround, but until I have time to implement that this weekend Custom will remain down.

binary pls, you're an admin. Obviously you changed it yourself.

That's a definite negative. For some inane reason, it's one server per computer.

Unfortunately, due to my own computer issues I won't be able to work on the server to fix the problems we're having. Thus, this game shall be abandoned and we shall try again once there are some fixes to be spoken of.

Nope.

subSPUF game expected to still be running when we run out of AMAs to do. That's a long time.

If IPB wasn't such a douche, I could post a link.

It may take a while to join... I've heard connection issues from a lot of people, though it ultimately works in the end.   For what it's worth, the console says you are connecting (and then disconnecting).

At the moment the turn limit is 330 turns, I'm thinking about removing it.   24 hour turn limit seems fine, but it does present a dilemma if someone leaves for vacation or something in the middle of the long game. It would be nice if we organized sessions during the weekend where we all got in and did a bunch of turns at once to help speed up the game.

I'll probably announce each turn on thread.   Also, two questions: should we have time limits for turns and should we keep the game turn limit or change it or remove it?

GAME STARTED!   Also email notifications!

You probably can only play with one computer.

Merso is in twice. Once I can figure out which one to keep, there'll be a spot open.   And no, I don't think it's an issue due to the number of players because it crashed as soon as we got enough to play. I suspect something similar would happen with a lower number of players.

  The issue isn't the viability, the issue is whether we really want dick moves in a friendly game with a bunch of people, at least some of whom have never played or haven't played much.   In a game with 12 civs and 250 (I think that's the max?) turns, getting knocked out of this thing we've spent a week trying to get together in the early rounds will suuuuck.   No max right now IIRC. I can adjust that though.   Probably, but I did try to remind everyone so you're probably fine.
