Currently, the server sets people into teams as soon as they join the server, and then scrambles it again in the next map; auto selecting peoples teams, even the spectators. What this means is that the server will try to auto balance spectators. The idea that I propose is to turn off the team auto-select, meaning that you can now choose your own teams. This stops the server from giving you a team automatically, and it should then stop the auto-balance not moving people around. However, there is a down-side to this; this will invite team stacking. People want to play with their mates, which is great and all but it can end up with teams being 6-4 etc. I would like to think that people have the decency to still choose auto select. To combat this inevitability, the server will check every 15 seconds if the teams are balanced and if not, it will move someone. Again, if it moves someone and they move themselves back to where they used to be, I will warn you. If you do it again, I will kick you. It may end up moving people all the time, but this is something I want to try out at least. This will be live for tomorrow, and will run for tomorrow to see how it goes. I have also added some new sniper maps to the server, which will break it up a bit more because I was using old maps from old rotations. Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Our hope is that it works better for all on the server. It will make a big inpact for the CTF maps for sure. Of course there may (will) be people trying to test the will, but as we said there will always be recourse if needed. Nice work Pain! PHUCKITMAN and LtLaszlo 2 Awards

I am glad that the changes we have trialled went well on Sunday, and I am all for seeing how it goes over an entire weekend. If anything crops up that comes to attention, I am hoping that it can be addressed swiftly and without issue! LtLaszlo and PHUCKITMAN 2 Awards
