I'm ok with Claylord/Nadelord/Whorelord/Claywhore, but might I suggest removing friendly damage for mines? Or does that affect gaymores as well?

WTF ?? I laughed hard!

I know this might not be the right thread for this but it does have to deal with map rotations somewhat.

I started to think how you guys can set your server apart from others that will make others want to play at the USI server....

Just like in life, its about marketing. What are the first things people see about the server?

- The server banner logo
- The server name

First, love the graphic minus there are no naval ships ;D Looks professional for the serious gamer.

Yes, we like the banner too...have been thinking of making it more like a "whorehouse" tho!

Your server name is limited in space and needs to sell someone to want to play there. I looked at the name and didnt see USI anywhere. Be proud to put your name up there. You guys have the talent and people should recognize (and fear) the USI name. I would suggest putting it in the name. Plus there might be other "whorehouses" out there.

We did have USI in the name until we decided to put the rotation in there, good idea about taking the rotation out of the title tho

Unless having a 1 map 24/7 rotation like Gator all the time, I would take the maps out of the server name. It could turn people off if there are unpopular maps in it like Mass D and Surge. The rotation will most likely change until you find the right rotation. The loading info area is a great area for listing the map rotation since that doesnt get cached on a local players machine like the server name. Longer names get cut off so every character space counts.

Some server name suggestions...

!{USI}Whorehouse - Come Get Some!
!{USI}Whorehouse - Teamwork Required!
!{USI}Whorehouse - Experts play here!
!{USI}Whorehouse - Talent plays here!

We have gotten compliments on the Come Get Some! motto from friends and semi-regulars alike

Friendly Fire for mines- keeping it on will help deter gaymore spamers in the palace on Warlord and in general. As well as the guys who C4 the flags.

We had ff for mines off until one of own members would ruin a good game of gator by claymore spamming, for no really good reason, and Deeds got aggravated enough to make the change. I prefer it if we can leave mine ff off, because I like to use AT mines, but having ff on, even at a reduced rate, cuts down on the claymore spammers. I have thought of setting mine damage to 0, but still allowing friendlies to trip them, but I'm not sure if that setting would affect all friendly fire, and I don't want all ff to be disabled.

- Maps

Im for a Gator and Warlord/Ghost rotation. We dont know how bad it will be to admin until we try it. Surge must be in demand. =PL= has had a surge only server for some time and is always successful.

I like a Gator/Surge/and either warlord or ghost...not terribly fond of warlord but I know it is popular, not sure if I could stand to have warlord and ghost in the rotation at the same time tho,,,Ghost is my number 1 map for purple hearts!

again.. just some thoughts to help the server be successful.

As always we appreciate your insight! All regulars certainly have the right to share their thoughts ;D
