Can we make the time between maps shorter?

[Joker]

clearly that's not completely true, they just don't want to deal with all of the little kids that like to play escape maps...................Derp

they all be like it's little kids, but I have a solution for you take a and relax because it's server population and it is a still pretty popular mod.

P.s. these smilies and fucking awesome lol

Joker actually has a good idea on splitting up the escape server with a barricading server. Traditionally the zombie mod had few, if any escape maps at the beginning. IT seems they also tend to draw the attention of annoying adolescent children who are playing a game they shouldn't even be.

Here's a few things I think we should do.

- Remove the escape mods from the server complete ( preferable)
- Create a totally new zombie mod and make it escape only - then make it only maybe classic style escape
-Limit escape maps to a particular limit per 5 barricade maps, 1 escape will be voted on.

i know this talk is all irrelivent to the intended post buuuuuutttt......

COMPLETELY all in favor of removing all escape maps. i like what others said as well and as much as people may dissagree with me, there are SOME fairly decent escape maps on the zmod server... like i personally like lakeindusk. its not too long an dragged out, its not one sided for either team, + the tetris radio music at the end of the level makes me wanna dance
but yea like others said:

-remove escape maps entirely
-create a new server for escapes
-ratio the amount of escape maps to cade maps, like 1/5 (play 5 cade maps then 1 escape)
-quit bitching about it an just pretend this discussion never happened

when you think about it though, with the amount of players that donate & buy admin, wouldnt you think ibis could afford a 6th server?
+ the more servers ibis has, the more "out there" the ibis community is, meaning more players to get drawn in + potential new admins for even more income

i say create a new thread for this to lay out all of the potential options and make a community vote. because as productive as putting out all our ideas like this is, it wont get us anywhere anytime soon

[B1ackOut]

Yes, if possible, i am in favour of a separate ze server, but as someone has previously stated it will initially cause the population of the server to be split, although we do not know the ratio. But as play has said it will eventually pay for itself in the separate community of regulars that will grow and play in it.

Ze is very popular (for some strange reason) and would be very successful, stop the complaining and constant rtving to get to a god forsaken ze map, and allow the regulars to pick their preferred choice of play. If ZERO is willing I think many of the community would accept the change as an achievement for zombie mod.

[Rosie]

The idea of having a ratio seems to be the best concept that I have read. Could be 3/1-5/1, but in any case it should go that way no matter what. Meaning if 3-5 ZM maps are played the random vote should only be Escape maps. There are some escape maps that are fun, and some that are just stupid. Eiother way if you want to keep the entire commmunity happy you have to have both. The added stress on Zero, cost, and the splitting of the ZM players, to me should eliminate the option of another server dedicated to ZE.

All of you, every single one of you, that hates escape maps and suggests that escape maps should be either completely removed from the server via one mean or another are idiots, and I look forward to posting a short and sweet rebuttal to your idiocy at a slightly later point in time.

Gentlemen, a challenger approaches.

Ness you only like escape maps because you can boost your rank insanely....

The server actually has been split between escape maps, and barricade maps a long time ago, though from what I told it was not as successful.

I talked to zero about it, and he said that he can setup so that we only play an escape map every 4 maps or so, but the problem with this solution is that its harder for him to put maps on the server.

yea that sounds like he would just run a script on the server so it would only allow escape maps on the server every 4 maps, but also with the new admin system all maps now according to zero will only show up as often as they are voted for as really good maps and they are not voted opon as good maps than they wouldn't show up that often
