CTF servers

[old.<D>Raze]

How about a change of maps in the CTF servers. Or at least drop Cloak of Night, it always gets voted out.
How about using a couple of the cool DOX maps, like Spincycle or Ice Dagger. Another Cool map would be Emerald Valley.
So what do u say?

Poker & Crunchy's has a nice rotation on it, including DOX, old classics that don't get played ne more like Blastside and Scarabrae. No one play on it, I don't think ppl understand what the "Poker & Crunchy's" means? Makes it sound like a private server mebe? I dunno, but then you have servers like "Cheater's Wayside", that's kinda similar. Do you think renaming it "Custom CTF" would bring ppl on it or do ppl not want to play the maps on it?

I'd love to play these maps and even Scarabrae is really good fun again, but there is never anyone in there to play - hehe! Catch22 - I won't hang around for long waiting for people to join and so invariably end up playing SB and CC on the regular CTF servers - The pubbie games are becoming a bit stale with people spending most of their time moaning about Disk Mines or Offensive Sniping or Defensive Sniping or..Spamming or Mining spawn points or..etc..etc..
Crunchy, is the map rotation always the same on the CTF servers or do maps that never get played eventually drop off the list? There are several I can think of that never get played and always get skipped when the vote happens.

Hmmm, if you notice a lot of the servers on the UK masters list are empty. I think this is because people want to play other people . I mean nobody will really join an empty server.
Like santro says its a catch 22, servers are empty so no one joins, therefore servers stay empty. I think this is the case with poker and Crunchys. Me personally i'd rather play on a server with about 8 ppl on than a jam packed BW CTF server with 20 ppl on.
Anyways, i think why the DOX server and the Crunchy and pokers server are unpopular is not because of there name, but because they start off empty.

Just a thought, how about divinding up the current CTF servers into
1. One with all the Original CTF maps only
2. One with all the Open call and Balenced Maps Only
3. One with Custom maps, Such as DOX plus a few old favorites so people won't get browned off with the poorer DOX maps (MMD etc)
4. Keep Poker and Crunchys like it is but rename it to CTF 4
