Server Rules:
(An html link to this post will appear regularly in game.)

1. Playing offense as red or defense as blue will get you kicked instantly. (except in ADL of course)
2. No spy, scout, or medic defense.
3. No HW offense.
4. 1 yard defender MAX unless flag is visible from yard. (use common sense)
5. No Sentry Guns in the YARD.
   .
6. No intentional or "excessive" team killing. (admins discretion)
7. No mic spamming or excessive "FF Chatroom." Play the game.
8. If you need to go "AFK," switch to spectate quickly or be kicked when anyone notices.
9. If you are completely unable to contribute to your team, due to extreme lag or a serious lack of skills or for other reasons, you may be kicked to open your slot for someone who will.

Rule Violation Procedure: (admins: use HLSW to administrate the server, or rcon commands)

• First warning may be text/verbal or a kick
• 2nd warning may be another kick or a time ban
• Multiple offenses will result in a semi-permanent ban
• If we grow to hate your presence, you will be permanently banned... forever.

• Disrespectful comments towards admins may result in a kick or time ban. If you disrespect an admin upon rejoining the server after being kicked, you will probably be kicked again or time banned instantaneously.

TY TY TY TY!~!!!!

[hadez]

def a great idea. props.

[Soup]

Good stuff

[Crazycarl]

No pyros make Carl sad.

Did you know you could use a custom lua file to enforce some of your rules? You could kill any red players that enter blue territory, and enforce class limits per-team.

Is there any clanstyle/ O vs D EU server ? It kinda sucks to play those yard dm servers :/

[Hoopajoo]

Thanks for the comments. Good point carl, we will implement various server tools as we put more time into it.

I added the 1 yard defender max rule and no sg's in the yard rule.

[Elmo]

nice to see its 66 tick...

33 servers need to be scrapped in ff

[killu]

Cool. Would be nice to have a more structured pub and perhaps get a few newer players interested in the match like game play and then into clans.

[vatterin]

That would be impossible since it does not allow skill-less players.

[Hoopajoo]

I disagree. Kidneythief started playing ff a few weeks ago and he's better than most of the long time pubbers. He never even played computer games prior to this.

But yea, this server is aimed towards players who at least know how the clan/pickup style format works, which is pretty self explanatory imho.

[Kidneythief]

It was our intent to have an intermediate between clan play and pick-ups and a lot more structured than your average Talos or OT pub(no offense). Both of which I still enjoy playing but I kinda want to get geared up for clanning down the road.

Basically as mentioned...a more structured pub to mirror how some TFC servers that hoop used to admin were setup. Anyways if you guys have any suggestions let us know.

i think pyro should be limited to 1. pyro can actually be pretty useful on certain maps in certain positions, and is a more viable class for some to play D (i am a fucking terrible soldier, and most of the time i do a hell of a lot better as a pyro than i would as soldiier in any given position. if im on your team for d, you would be better off letting me play pyro instead of soldier, because im a pathetic joke as a soldier.)

also demo and hw limited to 2 is pretty crrrraaaazy!

good luck with the server though. when i start playin FF again (after schools over), ill check it out seems like it would be more fun than the average clusterfuck pub for people that prefer clanstyle play

[Kidneythief]

Yeah we may add pyro back into the mix. I just had Hoop remove him to try it out as im still working on my Scout/Medic. A Noob Scout O + a decent Pyro D = fail.

Were still adjusting and whatnot.

-Jake

[Hoopajoo]

Pyro is simply an overpowered class for noobs which kills scouts in 1.5 seconds with virtually no skill required, but as the first post states, if you request to play pyro, we will allow it.

[Sh4x]

I request to keep pyro disabled if that counts. lol

Anyways, this serv is a great idea, I'll definately check it out.

Come on, a noob scout is gonna lose out against everything but another noob scout. At least go with a single pyro per team... just in case a 2 guys are on and want to see who is the better pyro.

I request to move the server to central. Thanks.

ff_phantom_classic -- is it just me, or is this map purple and black squares for all? If its just me, then what game are the textures from?

[MonoXideAtWork]
