I'm going to preface this reply by assuming you didnt read any of the follow up comments @ lulzor(since u didn't pick up on the freeze time mistake)

here we go

we play dust1 rarely. the only map in rotation you listed is vertigo and the server seems to like it. see here
http://www.cainslair.com/showthread....2-Map-Rotation

map list was updated 3 days ago so... yea aztec was there b4 and so was dust...also

i really wish this would show info on de_vertigo so i could point out how many times the terrorists lose

http://stats.cainslair.com/hlstats.php?game=csgo

if i had to take a guess i'd say whatever team starts ct on average will win above 70% of the time...its a matter of opinion, but there's a reason why no league plays the map(not balanced)

im not trying to say you should make your map rotation nothing but competitive maps (i rather enjoy the random custom maps in a pub like DE_rats or other similar quirky/fun maps every once and awhile really spice up the server and keep the game flow fun and entertaining. maybe wait for de_aztec_legendz to get ported over or something. just basic maps like vertigo dust and aztec in my opinon are way to lame too play on a 32 man server with mollys. i brought up maps because i wanted SE versions which it looks like currently might be getting looked into by cain(yay!) which is very good.

>buy time

Buy time is 40 seconds? where did you get 5 seconds from. did this change?

again referencing freeze time which i personally would like have 2-3 seconds added to... many rounds in a row where people r standing in spawn just buying

>1000 vs 800

1000 is fine, really. 800 would also be okay but 1000 is perfect or those who want to use the zues or would like to go full armor rather than half with a pistol, or a defuse kit.
it works out fine for this server.

the reasoning behind i wanna buy armor is silly as a deagle or p250 still 1shot you in the head with helmet...buying armor at all in pistol round is normally a nono(from a competitive standpoint) which is why id vote for the usual 800$

As far as I know, admins/players aren't "trolling" with the zues, and I'm entirely sure you've got the definition of a troll wrong.

read other posts in the thread and you'd understand....

The zues takes a bit more skill than pistols, and it can make for a lot of fun on the first round

it is in fact maybe the "skill less" gun ever in any counterstrike. It has a recoil efficiency drag of almost 0 (according to gamebanana) meaning you can jump spin 360 and it will still shoot 5 yards dead center of ur cross hair. you can camp almost any angle for a free kill, again referencing competitive play. its not there for a reason...i dont mind it being on and am not really lobbying for it to be removed(although if it died in a fire i wouldn't complain) the server should actually probably leave it on just because it fits well with the "fun" pub atmosphere (i think anyways)

>antiblock

No way in hell should this be added. Just pay more attention to your surroundings and delay if you have to. With antiblock we could not boost as we currently, usually, do and it would completely remove that tactic from the game which in my opinion is needed for the level of play cain's lair hosts.

id like to argue the opposite, that it in fact removes almost all push tactics by NOT having it. How many times have u had the team call ok push X site and a molly goes there, everyone gets stuck and bunched up no one can back up and you all die because your teammates are not paying attention. for you to say that its the single user(in this case me for this example) not paying attention i find that very humorous and plainly incorrect. Perhaps i should just block people and blame it on them? quite an odd way to look at it imo.

its only an issue (in my mind) because this is a 32 man server...16 people per side...people get in each others way all the time and its quite annoying.

side question here, what is the servers rules regarding boosting? is it only player on player boosting allowed or am i allowed to flash, smoke, tripec, and solo boost??? for those who don't know this is what im referencing

EDIT: DO NOT LINK TO EXPLOIT VIDEOS, GUIDES OR RELATED THINGS

there are many other (2 for some maps and even 4 for one) that can be abused using this boost currently in your map pool. im not sure if anyone was aware of this even being a thing but id like to know if i would get into trouble for doing it?



as far as voting goes, im sticking to what i said having a vote during last round or after last round to decide next map would be a fun feature for the server to have. and being able to nominate maps also would be cool and lets people increase the map pool

***EDIT***
also hi uncle slugs and holy crap im sorry for another wall of text...maybe i should just close my browser for the day...lol

[Lulzor]

Okay.

map list was updated 3 days ago so... yea aztec was there b4 and so was dust...also
i really wish this would show info on de_vertigo so i could point out how many times the terrorists lose

http://stats.cainslair.com/hlstats.php?game=csgo

I agreed with the SE maps. I disagreed with the vertigo map. T's losing has very little to do

Yes, it was updated a few days ago. We needed other maps to spice it up. A month ago the maplist was 3-4 maps, none SE or altered.

again referencing freeze time which i personally would like have 2-3 seconds added to... many rounds in a row where people r standing in spawn just buying

But why does this matter? If on T it could delay half of the rush sure but otherwise I don't see a problem.

the reasoning behind i wanna buy armor is silly as a deagle or p250 still 1shot you in the head with helmet...buying armor at all in pistol round is normally a nono(from a competitive standpoint) which is why id vote for the usual 800$

It works fine for the server and adds some fun to the round. We're not all hardcore MLG pro here.
Anyway, I guess we'll be giving it a try possibly.
I am for trying it but I enjoy the 1,000.

read other posts in the thread and you'd understand....

Well, That's annoying.
You know what? I think I won't read over them again.

Explain.

It is in fact maybe the "skill less" gun ever in any counterstrike. It has a recoil efficiency drag of almost 0 (according to gamebanana) meaning you can jump spin 360 and it will still shoot 5 yards dead center of ur cross hair. you can camp almost any angle for a free kill.

Is this not true for any weapon? You can camp anywhere and shoot anything at any angle with an awp (or, really, anything) for a cheap and easy kill.

Answer me this: Why would a single-fire taser have recoil? Maybe a tiny bit from movement but really?

id like to argue the opposite, that it in fact removes almost all push tactics by NOT having it. How many times have u had the team call ok push X site and a molly goes there, everyone gets stuck and bunched up no one can back up and you all die because your teammates are not paying attention. for you to say that its the single user(in this case me for this example) not paying attention i find that very humorous and plainly incorrect. Perhaps i should just block people and blame it on them? quite an odd way to look at it imo.

Every single time. It's part of the game. Don't rush and it's not a problem.
Don't follow the group and instead try to flank and it's not a problem.

>for you to say that its the single user(in this case me for this example) not paying attention i find that very humorous and plainly incorrect.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that if you would pay more attention you would not get blocked. If someone isn't paying attention, use your mic and say so. If it's a problem, take a different route.

>Perhaps i should just block people and blame it on them?

Is that what you took from what I said? Hmm. That's infuriating.
So because I'm asking you to deal with it and pay more attention,,, that means that you should block other people and it's all your fault that people get blocked?

Wait until I'm in the game next time and give it a try.

people get in each others way all the time and its quite annoying.

This is part of the game. Be more attentive.
In most of your other examples you use competitive play as a source, so, let me do the same for you.

Competitive play uses blocking. This is a competitive server.

side question here, what is the servers rules regarding boosting? is it only player on player boosting allowed or am i allowed to flash, smoke, tripec, and solo boost???

Yes, No, No, No and No.

there are many other (2 for some maps and even 4 for one) that can be abused using this boost currently in your map pool. im not sure if anyone was aware of this even being a thing but id like to know if i would get into trouble for doing it?

Then why would you link a video to it? If they want to know what it is, and get banned for exploiting the maps, let them google it on their own.

as far as voting goes, im sticking to what i said having a vote during last round or after last round to decide next map would be a fun feature for the server to have. and being able to nominate maps also would be cool and--

Map voting at the end would be okay but it's not necessary in any shape or form.

On fun servers, with more than 4-7 maps, yes. Not here.

--lets people increase the map pool

Interesting. Where did you get that idea?

Iff you have suggestions for maps, make a post. Cain will surely see it and respond.

Maps must be a final version and have a .nav file.

[Cain]

Let me apologize for Lulz, not sure why he is getting so hostile.

Like I said I appreciate your suggestions, and since I am the only person who can change server settings, at the end of the day my opinion is the only one that matters. That having been said, of all the suggestions I read discussed the one I'm seriously considering is the dropping back to 800 bucks start money. That makes some sense to me.

WRT maps I keep rotating them in and out, and the only two you are unlikely to see again soon are dust and Italy. They are just too one sided. I have an alternate Aztec that may return but it has an odd bug I was hoping would get fixed.

Stay tuned and thanks!

[905.RaID]

i had a giant (some how bigger than my other posts...you gotta be kidding me right?) reply for him answering his questions. but after reading cains post im just not gonna post it. i appreciate the lively discussion, but i didn't really like the tone in which i feel this was going. however if he wants to continue the discussion i have no problem with it at all :P

side note again,@cain i remember reading you were doing a lot of custom maps a certain day? are there any plans to do this again? if so id love to hop into the server and try out some crazy maps and give some feed back if possible.

[Apache Warrior]

Just watch this section for CS:GO Threads about Custom map nights. He will post one about custom map nights, the maps and the time play will start.

I'm on Seamus Light and every time he types and uses white font, I can't see anything. For 3 days now I've been trying to figure out why people are replying to blank posts... Curse you, Sirex.

[Mutant N. Turtle]

That's what she said.

hahahahahahahahhahahah lol Yes!!!! $800 please!!! This will help set the tone of the entire match and balance things. I will love pistol round once again!

[HeHeHeGS]

i made that joke in hopes you would see it because i think it was you and another admin just hiding for like 4-5 rounds in a row with the zeus and you guys got me once or twice..lol i even jumped once out of surprise

Ya that was me... sorry, i was buying a zeus every round to try and get kills with it. But i only did it when my team was wining the match.

[Azalea]

Can we please not post in white? I hate dark styles

[905.RaID]

oh, my bad. i guess im using the default. didnt really like the grey on grey so i changed mine to white...i can change it back tho/stop using white. sorry

[Cain]

I meant to change the start money to 800 bucks this morning, but I don't think it took hold.

I'll change it on the next reboot, thanks for the suggestion.

I'll take a look at the player counts of the SE maps.

My bad, I had a really shit night/day/week.

I'll do a better job of not confusing the two. (i.e. the server and real life)

I apologize but won't be editing my post to keep my mistake in plain sight.
