Now I'd have to say that the Foo Fighters wrote a pretty amazing song right there.  Awesome video, too.  They have deservedly earned legendary status for sure!

Still...
I can't help but be completely blown away by this cover performed by four young ladies, not a one of them over the age of 17.  Cherri Bomb completely crushes it with this cover of The Pretender.  Wouldn't you say?

Hello DM2 Fans!

This week @Ruggerxi did something else with DM1, so it no longer mirrors DM2.  Go take a look at whatever it's doing.  I don't know where he intends to take it, but I'm sure it will be interesting.  Gravity might be a factor, idk.

Meanwhile here on DM2, this is the set of maps you can expect for the coming week:

Small Map Rotation 
mp_agx_castle, mp_bridge, mp_hgy_c, mp_kauten, mp_little_town, mp_maquina_viet, mp_pmcod, mp_remagen, mp_xi_arena

Medium Map Rotation
mp_506th, mp_82ab_richemont, mp_anzio_beach, mp_beach_redeaux, mp_boneville, mp_byalistok, mp_cityhall2, mp_cw_hill, mp_desolate, mp_dropzone, mp_fatherland, mp_freedom1, mp_hob_mohdv2, mp_kneedeep, mp_nachtzug, mp_overleaf, mp_railyard, mp_snr_freedom2, mp_subway, mp_the_cube, mp_warehouse, mp_waw_arnhem, mp_xi_nowhere

Large Map Rotation    
mp_82ab_erdol, mp_assembly, mp_bentys_depot, mp_byalistok, mp_cabanatuan, mp_communique, mp_cw_saintlo, mp_farmhouse2, mp_hangar, mp_kwai, mp_lyon, mp_nuenen, mp_prague, mp_rocket, mp_siege, mp_snr_flatdeck, mp_sps_station, mp_sturm, mp_tunnels, mp_winter_war
 

You know, every day we strap on virtual army gear and become The Pretender.  Pretending we're bad-ass soldiers.  Maybe we aren't pretending.  Hmm.  It's the Foo Fighters.

Yeah, I had it in mind to restart the server and then just spaced.    It's restarted now.  Try again.

@YACCster or @Labob - Please try again.  Should work now.

And thanks, YACC for verifying the server in question.

The reason why @Unchilenoand I aren't sharing a room is because he doesn't wash his balls. 

And you know this how?  

How are you trying to get to the server?  Favorites list?  HLSW?  Server directory?

I don't understand how this has been working all along then.  No clue who changed it or when.  This is the first I've even heard there is a problem getting maps from the redirect.  

What server is giving you that address, @Labob?

No don't want to do this for all to see, should be members only, all I truly know (honestly) is that two people were arguing, but it seems to have gone completely off the map (no pun intended) and we lost a good admin, simple as that really. I don't care if you tell us or not what happened but if you do I suggest members only, for me leave it, it's over and done with and nothing will change it now.

By my count, we've lost 3 good admins lately.

EC love you to death, in a manly non gay way of course, but wtf has this to do with what happened ?? Looks like we will all wonder about area 55 forever. This event ranks amongst mankinds mysteries, why is it that when you open a tin of evaporated milk is it still there? Why can't McGrim shoot straight?, why aren't Queenie and Chile sharing a room? and other XI mysteries, Labob will have to wonder forever poor boy, and Harry will only squeal on his deathbed, goodnight Vienna r.i.p.

Still think it was aliens or bigfoot.

Why don't we start with what you know, and what you want to know.  I think some of this may be simply not knowing, and some of it may be misinformation.  But I don't know what you know and what you don't know.

4. Let me win the game of my choice.
   Hah. I can win any game on any XI server any time I choose. What you Idiots don't know is that because I'm the best in the world, I play without a monitor to give you guys a shot at it. I play by sound only. Sometimes, if I find myself creeping toward number one in a game, I'll even start playing from the next map.

That's it!  As a self-proclaimed pro-gamer, you are hereby banned for being too good to play with us!  

To be honest, although I understand a big chunk of the "stink" that's gone down, I'm not sure the Seniors would even want me regurgitating it here in the public forums.  It's not pretty.  But for all I do know, there's reactions and quitting and other stuff I can't even begin to explain.

"The fun died", okay, but what killed it for you?  The loss of one guy?

Nobody is talking about anything.  Even given the chance to speak directly to a head admin in "office hours" got almost no participation.  That plus Head Admins dropping like flies without any explanation at all isn't helping.  Oh well.

@Sitting-Duc - What's up with this?

DJ,

The systems are old but that doesn't make them bad....they can shoot some dye into the system and come back in a week or 2 and use ultraviolet light to locate the leak...after that should be a quick repair. At least thats how we do it here....and if they are going to evacuate the system to fix a leak have them change the filter dryer..

Also if the leaks are minor enough that it needs a charge every couple of years they also make a sealant. Obviously new equipment has the benefits of new technology and warranty but if your not looking to spend it, then fix it.

I really don't want to spend the money, but at some point the concern revolves around throwing good money after bad.   At the current age of these furnaces, frequent service could suddenly become the rule.  For just myself, that would be inconvenient; for a tenant, that could become a legal issue aimed at me.

The leaking AC already has them on edge.  They have two young boys.  This is not a good situation for me.  Suddenly scheduling a complete HVAC replacement for them would be a serious inconvenience for a day or two, but would restore confidence, peace of mind, and make me look like a hero.  that is until they get notification of their rent increase for 2020!  

Only serious bummer is that this is always a X2 operation since this is a duplex.  Although my AC is working perfectly, it would probably be replaced anyway.  This is simply a matter of keeping both units in sync as far as major mechanicals are concerned.  To a potential buyer, this speaks well of the overall maintenance and upgrade policy they are buying into.  A hodgepodge of systems makes it look like JIT and deferred maintenance is the rule.  That invites haggling over negative perceptions.
