about time - welcome buddy

I think midlands is pretty good - Derby may mean we can take over a venue though certainly not if its weekend

The monitors are useful because I own a taxi firm - so I can keep an eye on that, I can do all the other stuff I need to do too.

Brilliant - it is known that teams can become unbalanced mid round - it hasn't always meant that the team with the least members has lost though.  Thanks guys for sorting it

Have the new rotations changed to saturdays now?

I liked the downloader tool - I used to use it often.  I have fast internet which is 1GBPS both ways - but it was nicer to have them all

This team balancing during round needs to go - its destroying kill streaks.  its leaving you frozen in enemy spawn as thats where you were.  It doesn't make for good play

ahh yes - what a numpty lol - never looked there 

Was trying to figure out how long I have been on the server for - is there a link/page?

Thanks guys - especially those who wished me a happy birthday in game before shooting me, stabbing me, noob tubing me or killing me in many horrific ways.

However the sad part of the day is the message you get on the site that reminds you that your an old fart with your actual age written lol.

Seriously though a great day was had!!

I play COD4 on windows 11 - not a single issue - though i'm still bloody awful at the game after 8 odd years

I am a self supporting (non stipendiary) Priest, to support myself I am a driver/chauffeur with an executive Mercedes V  Class

I shall not lol - the clan keeps getting good players!  I have been consistently shite at the game for nearly a decade, there was a time I was slightly off the bottom.  

We need more shite players - not good ones - I feel lonely at the bottom !!!

Seriously though - welcome to the madhouse!!

My favourites are - "I don't know why" - is it because you were a bit of a "        " in game???  fill in your own blanks rofl

I do enjoy a catchup on the ban forums over a morning cup of tea.  Some are quite enjoyable lol - anyone else time to read them?

I have a proper key - need to try and download COD4 so I can move to a new pc - anyone know where I can find it?

I suspect Microsoft will back track on this and stop the various requirements.  They will be forcing people to consider whether Windows is the best option.  I am surprised that a Linux variant is making a play!

The !like and !dislike exist on COD4.

I have always played on the basis that there are maps I like and maps I dislike.  I then vote accordingly.

I also appreciate that the maps I really dislike I just spec or quit out and come back later.  I don't think map skipping is good as there are obviously maps that I really enjoy.  The same map skipped twice in one day.  

When Admins skip a map they then don't allow others to play a map that they enjoy.  Equally it would be fair to say that map enjoyment can be based on who is on your team.  The skill of people on that team.  The skill of people on the opposing team.  If your winning your less likely to want a map skip - equally if your losing you may want a map skip.

If you have never played a certain map a lot you may find it difficult and confusing.  I suggest you keep up and try it out.  I have a love of maps that allow sniping.  I know others hate maps that have such easy routes to sniping.  I'm not good at running around with an auto trying to kill.  Yet for the sake of anothers enjoyment give it a go.  Sometimes even surprise myself.

Map voting will allow people to stop maps from coming back.  Map skipping will potentially ruin others enjoyment of that rotation.  

I firmly believe and suggest that we should use the current system of voting to deal with map likes and dislikes rather than skipping.  That is what it is there for.  Else it leaves us to look at player lists and decide to only play when there is no admin on the server.  Then we can have an unobstructed playing of a rotation with no fear of missing out on maps.

I heard the excuse from an Admin that the reason for only one vote for skip and then play the next is because "People wouldn't play any maps" - Easily solved by the voting system already in place.  

I would hope the rotations are designed to look at the different possible playing styles.  So maps for sniping, running around etc.  

In the many years I have been playing on this server I think its well over the 6 I have medals for I don't remember all this map skipping.  Is it a relatively new rule/allowance?

I would hope players would use different maps to learn new skills and enjoy different playing styles as certain maps demand rather than give up and call a vote.

I am being careful - either allow votes to skip all or none!

Can we either stop map skipping and encourage players to quit the map and come back after the map is finished or if map skipping is allowed can it not be selective?

Hey thanks guys - I would like to introduce a rule though - after 21 - years are not put on lol - I'm equally horrified about my age as those who look at my pic think it can't be possible lol.

Happy birthday of course to the others who share with me this beautiful day when the world got just a little better as we were squeezed out with much moaning and groaning.

I'm regularly on the servers still!
