About KR: I don't quite understand, why it is allowed for a player to reset his or hers KR. If you even sometimes use KR to check balances, it should not be allowed. Certain people reset several times when they are playing. Also never reseting is a problem since then KR won't move much, and skilled players can end up with much lower KR than their real level. I recommend either timed resets (like once a month) or resets by request done by an admin. Regardless, when used properly KR does mesure what it is supposed to measure. That is kill to death ratio, and that only. Killing bots only won't raise it too much. If there is an issue with it, it is people who play on public servers as if they are some kind of ETPRO games where you don't even try to progress the obj. Long killing sprees are what raise KR the most and those you don't really need to complete objectives. My solutions: 1) Remove KR reseting ability. Howfair command should be optimally used around 1m after map starts unless admin is able to otherwise check teams just by looking at player names. Servers auto shuffle at the start so sometimes players stay in spec until map has properly started. 2) Use few different shuffling (both auto and manual) techniques. When shuffle doesn't work it would be useful to have a different shuffling mechanism. Perhaps a combination of battle sense, XP gathered during last 1h or so, class related XP (medic, engi etc.) or something else. This way you can get different teams after each shuffle. 3) Have some kind of general rules when /scores (kill difference) are unfair. Is 200 kill difference enough? 4) Pay more attention to map progress. I believe teams in public games should be made such that attacking team should always have a fair shot at winning the game. Games are much more interesting when attackers are slightly stronger (not that it should be the goal) and other way around. I realize some of these require a bit of coding. I don't expect them to be implemented just like that. But please, if you reply, please but some effort in thinking why my ideas might be good or bad.

My secret recipe for killing sprees and 50 % acc...

The danger is they will change it to: touching the final objective is forbidden. So risky business, this is!

Usually when the point of the game is to win it, players look to do that as quickly as possible. So to be honest, I don't really get the rush rule. Maybe on a so called beginner's server, but anywhere else it seems pointless. Analogy to eating would be more like: buffet recommends you to try all foods they serve, but you decide to just eat pizza.

Could we have few new maps now that this selection has been there for some time? I'd like to see these maps: Baserace (night version best), Haunted Mansion, Adlernest, Tramfight, Marrakech, and of course FA Oasis. Maybe Adlerhorst and Bergheim that Kermit suggested above. The server tends to have quite a small amount of votable maps compared to other servers. Why is that? I don't think it's because of player amount adjustments. Usually Silent1 has like three to four times more votable maps. If some maps were to be removed, I'd take off all three 1944 maps and River War. Something I have wanted to see for a long time is the ability to have the same map played as a stopwatch game (switch sides, beat the clock). Could that be voted, too? I guess it isn't possible, but would be so nice.

Also these binds and setting help: bind F9 "SCORES" bind F10 "say ^6You can !putteam me to balance teams!" bind F11 "AUTOSCREENSHOT" seta cg_autoAction "3" F9 for quickly checking scores, F10 to notify admins when you have to join "wrong" team and F11 if you need to take a quick SS. Autoaction 3 value records everything automatically (in Silent mod at least).

Good rule! Please enforce it too. Could !putteam trialists/members who won't balance, if clearly it is their job. Moving one or two skilled non-members then is a different thing.

Donald, you could try posting your config (autoconfig?) here if server setting in it are not right. I don't think, though, that r_primitives or fixed player movement help (video render and FPS<->movement adjustment).

Donaldinho! v54! v57!

Yeah, this is how it should optimally go. But then also I'd recommend locking teams at start of each map.

Happiness to Transylvania! Don't forget to get wasted. 🥰

But can you get stable 125 FPS in Fuel Dump?

Quite nice, many new routes. Should be added to Beg2 and Silent1 ASAP! That Allied CP really was placed oddly in the original.
