POLL - Shotgun server

POLL
Add round limit + vote map sistem script + reset ranks
---------------------------------------------------------

Hello,
I started this poll because i consider that some changes needed at -[IFWSI]-Shotgun, to raise server popularity.

Benefits:
-New maps.
-Round limit script. (50)
-Rank reset and a new chance to be in top.
-more fun.

Vote starts now!

Disagree in some points. Formerly we tried multiple maps there, failed aswell, like on Doghouse.
Round limit script - Why? They got the same stuff in every round.
Rank reset? - Would be a good idea, if the rank1 could be bugged again. But doesn't make sense, because the popularity is low.
Shotgun server is as good ("fun") as it is, the only problem is, [LSD] stole the players, while -[IFwsI]- was under DDoS.

Round lmit sistem for map change. every 50 rounds a map should be voted.
OR we can do this way...
shotgun + CTF
-----------------
I seen these ideea on a server. but they were using AWP + CTF... and sound interesting.
what do you think?

I think, the success of simple concepts often depends on the simpleness of its realisation.

Blowing each others heads off using shotguns certainly is a very simple concept. Quick n easy, and 'bloody exciting' if you're playing with gore effects maxed out.

And that's how I think gameplay should be kept; quick, easy, bloody. Anything that interferes with these central aspects of shotgun server gameplay should be avoided in my opinion.

Now, having more than one map is quite complicated, compared to the basic idea.
Map changes take some time, sometimes even fail for individual players (assuming I'm not the only one who sometimes gets stuck on some kind of loading screen when server's map changing) and therefore interrupts the quickness of the gameplay you'd normally expect from a shotgun server. So I'd drop that idea, alongside the round limit thingy, which would be pointless with one map only anyways.

Also, nothing like wrenches, or that second shotgun, XM.. however it's called, such stuff just makes it complicated, adds more complication than the basic idea can take. HEs are fine, they just add some quick explosive potential, but nothing besides that. M3/HE/knife, that should be all.


On the other hand a rank reset function would probably be nice, as long as it can be used within half a second (aka "!rs").
.. and basically everything which supports said basic aspects of shotgun server gameplay, let it be a slight speed boost to all players (aka increase the quickness of the action) or maybe a gore script wich adds sprites of dead bodies when a player dies, or extended gore as an option to be turned on/off by players, whatever, guess experiments have to be made.


Welp. That being said, there's a limited amount of players available.  If players prefer other servers, than there's not much that can be done about it. Personally I'd rather play on a jail server, run around on escape maps or snipe stronk uber pros with my AWP. Greetings.

you`re right, you know? but i think a shotgun + CTF map doesn`t sound so bad...
a mini map. quick and bloody. like you said.
Why CTF? because players can need to fight for the flag. (game mode. team deathmatch)
-----------------------------
OR - ideea 2.
Like you said we can let the things the way they are, but add some new stuff.
(reset rank + "!rs" sistem and gfx - dead man when someone dies).


In conclusion, we still have to do something to improve the game play.

I made many topics where asking for shotgun tourament, and now you are ignoring it. Please add it too, but now i disagree.

The second idea is very good. I hope it'll be added to shotgun server.

No new servers. All loves aim_shotgun server, just believe me no one will like new shotgun map.

still have to add what I said above.
(gfx. dead man / "!rs" command and reset rank) if you want to make a competition.
(to be more attractive)...

But please tourament too. It gonna be fun.
Like once week or month. Topic where you post winners.

Sorry but nobody haves free time to make that happened.
Most of us started school and have even less time to spend on Fws, so please stop asking.

My school is started like month ago, but i have time at weekends. Actually you dont need any scripts to this tourament. Just once month someone is referee.

I view adding vote map to the server as a bad idea. It was done originally a while ago and many users didn't like it, it had impacted on the popularity of the server when the server was popular.

I agree with what Apfelbrot has said in his post above.

Adding a score reset script would be a good idea, post the script here and I will add it.

Edit: It's possible that we could add a 2nd Shotgun server and experiment with what you suggest funny.
