Done voted. I also like fastlane and stronghold, but I've only played each of them once (and am therefore not sure if I would consistently enjoy them) so I didn't vote for them.
Also, I tried to cast a negative vote for 2fort, but the forum software doesn't seem to support negative votes.
how hard is it to just ask if people want to change map or not? i'd really hate to see maps go unplayed because we're streamlining.
For just us, that's fine, but most nights we rely upon a good crowd of pubs to keep the server stocked with targets. Allowing the server maps to follow a rotation makes it more likely that the pubs will stick around.
If TF2 had a good way to ask all ofthe players to vote on a map, like UT does, there would be no need for a rotation at all, but since we have to have a rotation set, it might as well be the levels we, as a group, like the most.
Do like Hydro, Gravel Pit, Dustbowl, Badlands, and Goldrush. Do hate ctf maps...most days. Occasionally a good map of 2fort or turbine are fun, mainly because I can take a break from the normal grind of cp/pl maps and just go off and do something different (now whether or not what i go off and do is useful to the team winning, that is to be determined.)
A good epic map of Warpath or Snofort, or maybe some Aqua or Moonwalk, can be great.
The server Keebs and I played on the other night had a decent votemap enabled. It can be done if we want it.
I spent over two hours trying to get Mani Mod (purportedly the "good" one) working on the server last night, but I couldn't get it to authorize me to do a damn thing. Half the documentation is from 2006 (it started as a CS mod) and the other half is scattered all over the place. There's conflicting info about different versions, and it's an arcane, idiotic setup with directions referencing files that don't exist or which they don't tell you how to find, and crazy text files that need to be syntactically perfect I opened a support ticket with the place we rent the server to see if they'll assist - it was a one-click install, it's just the permission that's driving me mad. Talk about stupid software design.

I really like Stronghold. We need to play that more often.
Also, less turbine please.

We still need an admin mod badly.
(Yes, yes, I used "we" when I barely play).
