About !nextmap vote calling: Could be a good idea if players with a certain level (3 and above, maybe?) had the ability to call votes. Also, not relating to maps, they might be able to call: mute player x for y minutes, shuffle with restart, shuffle no restart and kick player x. Limiting votes this way you can avoid vote spam. One thing I remember from old time ET is how annoying those troll votes were. Nobody wants them back.

I think you might want to consider using a mix of voted maps and cycled maps. People tend to choose the same maps, and a big reason for that is they don't know/remember more eccentric maps too well. Great, competitive maps I'd like to see played more are: Frostbite (maybe the greatest ET map ever after the regular ones!) V2 Base TE C2 Missile B3 Snatch3 (fixed) Praetoria:Mission 2 was quite OK. It could be brought back some day. Also: Could there be a !nextmap voting function? Votes were used all the time ten - fifteen years ago in ET. Great choice instead of having ppl leave or go spec for less interesting maps.

I came here for the cake. Who ate the cake?!

Hi everybody! So against my summery thoughts, here I am. Another ET comeback. I played from Feb till end of June, and now decided to restart the game. I got fed up with ET (and maybe lack of admin work, haha) five months ago, and decided to quit ET. After couple of months, I noticed I was missing the game too much. I thought about the cons of starting it again. I guess it's worth the lost time. Honestly, I thought the servers would be pretty much dead today (under 10 players maximum at any time), but they seem to be going strong. Now I'm equipped with a proper gaming mouse and sensible playing time control! Once I get a new screen, I'll be smacking flamma's cheeks even harder. I see there are new admins, notellen (I'm the original Ellen, huh! :P) and Panzer legend Hesis. Maybe team balance is not an issue anymore. I have such warm memories from this game that I believe it can be pleasant again. I do enjoy the community, even when it sometimes might have looked I didn't like things too much. I was playing at Beginners #2, where I plan to restart in the coming days (same GUID). Maybe Hardcore server, too. I completed your little personality inquiry under below.
