Essssieeee

Had the pleasure of meeting up with an old friend who is also an XI member.. 'Buffalo Cody' .. he is the one who had told me about the XI servers some time ago , and I've been playing them ever since.  Course I had to wear my XI colors 🙂  Couple Idiots!

New rotations for OWFT are now running.  As discussed to try out, we are trying a player based rotation set up based on the number of players.
Refer to the discussion here: https://www.xtremeidiots.com/forums/topic/83940-owft-player-based-rotation/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-896428
Starting off, we have 26 maps.
Medium map rotation
map mp_5nav1 map mp_78deadsville map mp_78druglord map mp_78stalingrad map mp_78tokyorose map mp_agx_ameland map mp_agx_depot2_night map mp_agx_eindhoven map mp_agx_market map mp_akushima map mp_alcazaba
Large map rotation
map mp_1078brecourt map mp_1078carentan map mp_13_townville map mp_78gaperon map mp_78kwai map mp_82ab_nomonha map mp_agx_port map mp_agx_psel map mp_amberville map mp_assault map mp_ax_simmerath map mp_ax_trainwreck map mp_beltot map mp_communique map mp_contra
 
As the !like and !dislike feature is not set up on this server, please post back here your like or dislike of a particular map in this rotation.
If you have any comments regarding this new player based change, please post in the forum topic at the above link.  TY
Cheers
 

Eraser and Essie  ( and who else is interested )
if you want to make a bind to ask people if they like or dislike the map.
in console type the following :
/bind key "say ^colorDo you like this map? please type like or dislike"
where key is the key you press to show the text and color is a number from 0 to 9 to display the text in color.
for example as seen in the picture :
/bind F9 "say ^5Do you like this map? please type like or dislike"
i use the function key F9 and the color is light blue

if you can't bind a certain key it might be that you have to unbind it first : /unbind key ( where key is the key you want to unbind)
 

Player based rotation is now set to try out.  Medium sized maps will play with up to 10 players and then will switch to large maps from 11 players and up.  This is can be changed if we want to have more or less players.  Additionally, if there are particular maps that people like, they can be added to both rotation sizes however, it would be possible for you to get that map twice depending on when you joined and the number of players at that time.
Any comments about this change, please post here, comments about map selection, please post those in the map rotation post.  TY.
Note to our Admin team, maps can still be manually selected regardless of the number of players. After which, the rotation will revert back to the normal rotation set based on players.

I plan on doing this today some time so stay tuned. Will be a post when this is done.

Merlin, that sounds like a good amount of work/time for you - don’t believe it is worth all of that, but thank you for the offer.  

crunch i know this is off topic .... but how the hell did you get a ' for the ladies ' badge while you got a whiner badge  ????  😜
 

Just a thought Merlin,
if you or the rotation manager could put the list of maps that are beeing used here in the forum so people can comment ( like/dislike ) on the maps names, ( i know you guys put the maps rotations separately in the forums )then it might be easier for you ( or the map manager ) to filter out the unwanted maps.
( i and i know others too are more then happy to tell the people in the game to place their likes/ dislikes in here )
 
 

For those that play on the OWFT server, just want to throw this idea out there.
What do you think of the idea of a player based rotation setup?  Based on the number of players, the server would start off with medium sized maps, small maps are typically too small for FT, and after a set number of players joining, server switches to larger maps. For example, say, from 1-10 players, medium sized maps would play and from 11-26, the larger maps would play, so essentially 2 sets of rotations based on player count. With this, we would have say 15-20 maps per rotation size, currently we run approx 20-25 maps total.

For your information to consider, you might ask, will this reduce the variety of maps? Well, what maps you personally see would just depend on when you join and the number of players currently so in essence, you might not see a particular map if it's classed as a medium sized map and you join when there are lots of players.  However, rotations are at our discretion so if there is a particular map(s) that are favorites but is considered a medium sized map, this could be put into the large rotation as well.
We do this for the DM servers, works relatively well there, but I don't think this has been tried here for a team game so please comment on whether or not this is something that you would like to try.
Thanks for your feedback.

Welcome red!!!! 🌟
Goed je te zien!

I am glad you recovered from covid with no  lasting ill effects. As far as the job , I thin k I  would be actively  looking for  another place to work.  Stay safe my friend.

Just an update, I got my eyepatch off this past Friday and my right eye is doing fine. Vision is back thank God! Stitches come out tomorrow I'm happy about that.

Always a good time, if you haven't joined us yet, you really need to next month - you never know what tricks we'll have up our sleeves, and it's a great way to relax, enjoy your favorite beverage, and get to know fellow XI members outside of the game.  We promise you will also laugh a lot! 

Time for all my old COD2 friends to move up to COD5 !!!

@legi_istra something for you!  

Hello Family
Giggles reached out to me with some sorrowful news of Wade's aka XRINGCUTTERS mom being terminal with cancer and they will be focusing on spending their time with her...They will be mia until further notice
Please lift up some thoughts and Prayers for them and their family at this very somber time...
Thank you very much

Josh, it takes courage to be vulnerable, and you have shown that courage by opening up and sharing with us, your XI family. Life is made up of lessons, and many are difficult, but it makes us who we are. You learn from the lesson, and move on to bigger and better things. You're a kind, handsome young man, and there is a lot of life left for you to live, and someone special will come your way when you least expect it 💕

You're a strong young man. You definitely didn't deserve that. Unfortunately people can be shitty and ruin a part of us. But in life you also learn from mistakes and grow from them. Not every relationship is going to be filled with distrust. Tje right one will come some day. You're still very young and a handsome young chap (haha I've always wanted so say that to someone) so don't let her fk up be on you. Anyways we're all here to support you kiddo. Keep your head up. Lots of XI love. 

Welcome! 🙂

offcourse essie but then again  the princess ( you  just to make it clear ) is ALWAYS the star of the show 🙂

I'm the hero , if fatzi didnt get his car KEY he would never have been able to drive to Walmart and there would not have been a story to tell!   lol

As a family we are heartbroken our youngest of 3 dogs took ill on Saturday Morning by 4pm we were at the vets saying goodbye to him. Noah was the most gentle funny loyal dog.
