Sry for spelling today, I´m damn drunk atm!

Hence every sentence having an exclamation point at the end?

The rotation i had in mind as just my personal idea of a good rotation. I agree changes are needed to get more guys to stay on the server. The server has been empty a lot this week and thats not a good thing imo. It seems everyone has a different taste in maps tho so its difficult to satisfy everyone.

So id say change at least one of the maps every week or just change the regular rotation around a bit. Karkand is the best map to start the server cause the us and mec flags are quite close compared to other popular maps. I ve experimented with sharqi and oman as a starting map but these maps seem harder then karkand so i suggest we keep using karkand as a starting map. Daqing is not a good second map and often when i m starting the server i ll just skip it. Alot of ppl will disconnect as soon as they seen daqing and its to big to play with only 15 guys. Saturday afternoon last week i had difficulties starting the server. We played karkand, sharqi, as soon as oman came on everyone but about 12 guys left so i changed it back to karkand to try and get more guys on. After 2 rounds of karkand the server was almost full again and i changed the next map to sharqi, mashtuur and back to karkand again and at that time there were enough regulars on to keep it going with the normal rotation. We need to change something about it for sure.

I personally miss Dragon Walley and Wake, would like to see them in there somewhere !

Hence i miss the Peoples Medallion ;-)

Yes there are ads on the stats page and there's 2 ads of our sponsors on the home page. Maybe your anti ad program is killing the pictures. I ve got norton internet security 06 and i dont see any pics on homepage myself if its turned on.

-Songhua stalemate/Dragon Valley/Wake(Just another map so we have a bit more diversity between last mash and upcoming karkand

Sounds okay but i m not sure if its possible to put maps in 2 times with this rcon program.

na come on! Dragon Valley and Fushee are t3h suxx0rz. For real, those maps suck a bad time! We have had them in the rotation before and people just disconnected when those maps came along.

I remember some good battles on kubra (erm, ok, me is always sitting in a plane ) so please don't take this one out.

Also, I haven't played Zatar on this server by now. Why?

my 2 cents on my favorite airmaps in order:

1) Oman
2) Daqing
3) Dalian Plant (i wonder why nobody likes this map)
4) Dragon Valley
5) Kubra
6) Fushee Pass
7) Zatar
8) Clean Sweep
9) Wake

lastly, i actually  like songhua stalemate.  its not an air map but its also not a city map so i don't know where it fits.

B.Schuss makes a great point.  If you have halfway decent pilots they will at least keep the other teams pilots busy enough that you can maneuver on the ground.  But if you have bad pilots you are going to be on that map to pad some plane whore's stats...it gets kind stupid when some planewhore in dropping bombs on you every 30 seconds and you have absolutely no way to stop it.  Also, consider that you may have good pilots on your team but they may not get the jet.   I remember on Clean Sweep a couple nights ago Slayer (it think) wrote "LET SOMEONE ELSE USE THE PLANE IF YOU CAN'T FLY!!!!"

Armor and Attack Choppers can be a bitch but at least you have a chance of fighting back.

Besides, from what i seen last night Slayer is an ever better PKM aficionado than he is a plane aficionado

alright, it seems we can put maps in the cycle more than once.

so, I changed the mapcycle to the following:

Karkand
Fushee Pass
Sharqui
Oman
Mashtuur
Kubra
Karkand
Zatar
Sharqui
Daquing

that's only temporary. I agree we should change the mapcycle once in a while. comments ?

I was in doubt wether to replace Zatar with Dragon Valley and maybe put Wake back in...

I was just thinking about that B.Schuss.
City map - open map - city map and go so on.

because if you have Kubra and after that Cleansweep . the people leave a lot between these 2 maps and i think an city maps brings more people for an Open map.

Great job

and don't forget that after clean sweep is Zatar...

Anyone tried voip? Perhaps it magically "woke up" when the server was patched?

well, ok, I can take it out of the mapcycle today when I get home from work. But I remember playing it on monday or so, and we had more than 50 people on at that time. what map would you suggest as a replacement ? Or no replacement ?
