Following some brief feedback, I will be increasing the time allowed to sit in spec to 3 minutes tomorrow. I am trying to find a way to fix the broken auto-balance

That's a wonderful gesture, Beer! It's amazing what you can remember purely through muscle memory

It's finally time to update the TDM server with new maps and a quick change to how the server handles AFK players.

SERVER UPDATES
I have made some changes to how the server managed AFK players. This will have an impact on the Auto-balance. What this means is that if you are in spectate for more than two minutes, you WILL be kicked to allow the server to autobalance correctly. This is the only way we can stop moving people around manually.

Why would I use gross as fuck ranch sauce? Plus I don't drive so, you got the wrong nuggy addict

He has finally gone to far with his nug addiction.  Come on! Using your ash tray as a dipping sauce holder.  You need help

So sorry to hear this, Sven! It's all okay if you don't talk much in the server. Just being around people can help. Take some time away if you need it because we understand

Hey guys in moment im not that funny guy on Server.

My head is an bit Fucked up

Sunday to monday my Mum Passed away.

The shit is that i coud not say Godbey to her . We had trouble last 5 years.  And so nobody told me that she had cancer and was going to die.

Sorry when im not talking or just been fucked up on sever

Hi sourtap 
still hiding behind the finger i see.
seek help

I can only carry so much dead weight

I am sure this can be sorted out 🙂 It'll upset some people but it is what it is.
No, all it does is try to autobalance faster. Yea, specs will always affect autobalance. That's why when the round starts there are the occassions of 3v1 because the other two players of team two are still in spec. It's all ballache

Good afternoon all!
This won't be too long but this has been coming for a little while now. I want to bring attention to an issue that has been getting to me lately on the TDM server.
Accusations of team stacking and moving people around. I want to put this out there and tell you that any accusations are false.
Why?
Auto-assign. That's it. I do not have any control over the teams in game. The server automatically sorts players into teams when they join. They do not get a choice of what team they get to choose. The reason auto-assign was enabled in the first place was to STOP team stacking. We're all guilty of it because we all want to be with our friends on certain maps. I can understand that but on the other side, it made the teams very stacked. We had all the good players on one team, all the crap ones on another, etc. By enabling auto assign, we remove the team stacking.
The reason people accuse me of team stacking is purely because of a lack of understanding on their part. When you join the server, you're given a number. For example, player A, B, C, D and E are numbered 0-4 respectively and the server uses these numbers to assign you a team as soon as the map starts. This gets shuffled around every map. The reason it may be 4v1 at the start of a map is because of the way the server has assigned numbers to teams. You just need to get out of spec and you'll be put where the server wants you. If we get three admins on one team, well we do. That's just how the server assigned us. It doesn't care about your name or your status. You're a number to the server.
Which leads me on to my next point. Moving players around.
I ONLY MOVE THE LAST PLAYER THAT JOINED TO EVEN OUT THE TEAMS
If the teams are drastically outbalanced and auto-balance doesn't work then I will step in. Say someone joined the Axis team bringing them to 5 players, and the Allies were at 3. If auto-balance didn't work then I will MOVE that person to the Allied team to make them 4v4. If you were the last person in then I am sorry, that's just bad luck on your part.

I find the accusations hurtful and disrespectful and I've had to write this to address those issues. I will not take that disrespect towards me, especially false accusations. I've worked my ass off for years, even before becoming an Admin, to keep this server the best it has been. This server is my baby and quite frankly I'm getting frustrated with all the shit getting flung because something doesn't work right. There are some things on the server that are out of my control and please understand what I am saying from an admins point of view. To keep the servers fair and fun for all players.
I don't want to be putting my foot down, but I will if I need to.

Thanks, Pain, for taking the time to explain and all your hard work with map rotations, you are appreciated much...
