Question: I just noticed that there is a "Friends" option in the server loading thing on Steam.

You know "Online" "favorites" "Lan" etc.etc.

How do I add my fellow snarkpitters to the list so I can locate them online?

Ahh, shucks.

I was actually excited for a while there. I cannot play well, but I would gladly increase someone else's kill totals for a while. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Besides the fact, that I was just thoroughly trounced, I have to say in my own defense.. My son is playing on line across from me. He is playing Guild wars and every few seconds my whole HL2 game would stutter and fritz just for a second or two. Thankfully it didn't happen enough to say it caused me to play so poorly.. I can still take full credit for my ineptitudes. " SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">

ATM plays really well. Thanx for a good frag ol'man.

Plenty of admin.. not enough of them capable of uploading maps for play testing IMO..

I have not even seen the list when I go to change maps for alternate maps. I mean.. Even if I wanted to load a map already uploaded, I cannot seem to find any. All I can find are the server rotational maps.

/me wonders why.. :/

Anywho's.. We need to be able to upload.. Preferably without causing some sort of a mishap if its to complicated..

[edit] BTW, is there a way to monitor the activity of the server? I am thinking it is idle way to often, prolly due to our lack of changing maps in the cycle.

Yes, we have some of the best, I have seen almost all of them played elsewhere to prove that but the current cycle has gotten so old, even I dread going there... From the states its just not worth the higher pings to do so.

We need some sort of a system of voting. One thats agreeable to everyone to liven the server situation.

Either:
1) we stick to only snarkpit maps- we will have to include nearly completed maps prolly because there are just not enough finish large maps.
2) include excellent maps from without the Pit.

#1 is preferable, surely we have some choices within our own cadre. :/

I realize that Master Gwil has ultimate sayso but can't anyone comment on any of these subjects anymore, or has the enthusiasm dwindled so?

I do check in on the server whenever I am home, and I notice some appalling things..

1) Damned few Snarkpit members are online.. ever.

2) Even fewer use the [Snarkpit] tag.

3) The server is totally empty most every time I check.

Course now, #1 could be because many people may use a different name while fragging, same as if they are in IRC.

Now, we cannot force anyone to do anything, but we should be able to encourage them. Besides, discussion is what we do best, even when we disagree it is usually informative in some fashion.

Put your noggins into it guys. What can we do to liven up the server we all so wanted not so long ago. Surely we did not get it to.... Be as it currently is. :/
