And great to see that there is nerlay always someone playing ^^

Yea was nice
Lets try to get a bit active here in forum too.

What do you guys think about the current situation of the server?
Do you guys got any suggests?

Suggestion :

• Shorten the changing map delay with the stats, it is way too long !
  
• Fix the voting machine that takes forever to take actions ...
  

Except those two tiny details, i find the server quite active ( at least compared to october-november '13 ) and fun to be on, no disrespecter or so which improve the gaming time :-) !

Thanks for the suggestions!

The changing map delay (intermission) can actually be skipped when 75% of the players presses Ready. I agree with you however and I've decreased the intermission time from 30 to 20 seconds. I may decrease it even further in the future.

So there are two options for the voting system:

1. Compare the ammount of 'Yes' votes against the total number of players in the servers (voting 'No' basically doesn't matter).
   
2. Compare the ammount of 'Yes' votes against the ammount of 'No' votes (only actual votes matter).
   

I recently changed it to option 2, because option 1 would lead to confusion in some situations. 3 Yes votes versus No vote would result in a failed vote, for example. This isn't the case with option 2. As far as I know, option 1 will automatically result in a pass/fail when either it is not possible for result to win the vote or when the timelimit of the vote has passed (probably ~30 seconds).

Option 2 will make voting comprehensive. A 3 versus 1 vote will actually result in a pass, regardless of the ammount of players in the server. As far as I know, this option is not as 'smart' as option 1. It will not calculate decided results before the actual timelimit has hit. Sadly, I can't configure this timelimit for votes.

Depending on the opinion of others I might change the voting system back to option 1.

Hope to have answered everything, please feel free to post any other suggestions in the suggestion thread.

I'm happy to see Panzerwar activity has raised again and that most Panzerwar members are actually active on the forums. Thank you guys, keep it up

maybe, add the map cartoon in the map cycle or a different map cycle? just to refresh the server its time for something new ;p
- add some new maps. (idk wich ones)
- make a event for visitors?
- always say to new people: Hello, how are ye and a bit talking, maybe it work to recruit some people or they will stay.

ET isn't that active anymore and with it there are less panzerwar maps. I do have some new ones but I wasn't planning on adding them all at once, so we can have new ones in the future too.
I noticed the current mapcycle is 4,5 months old and I was debating with myself if I should make another one already (keeping new maps backed up) but now you suggest it I'll take a look at it.
What kind of event do you suggest? I actually am planning on an event soon which would involve the fireteams, but I'm open to additional ideas for events.
As I was busy I wasn't really being sociable that much ingame recently. My exams will end soon and I'll be online somewhat more often. Ofcourse, it's up to other members too to be socially active.

There are other plans for the future too. A new map, specifically for Panzerwar training, events (though I need ideas for them), a new purpose to our official scrimteam BSC, and other stuff.

Like I said, any suggestions are welcome

[Focus]

haha great ideas, and the event sounds good to reactivate the fireteams , we have more members and can challenge other pw clans
Just at once a time a new map, i think this is good for people than they think mhm nice new map or different.
trainings map sound pretty cool

[Moanraker]

So we should basically make sure this topic stays in the Last Threads updates, right? ^^
