Depends on who's closer to these points(Or go here for an actual map. Doesn't seem to work for me but the KML does.)

Its the submarine network, they forgot to include the ones on land.
Well we can host it in GBR and get away with one server if someone recommends me a good vps provider quick.

That sounds like the best idea. Hosting two separate tourneys seems a bit pointless, and it still doesn't help the Aussies

Nothing can help the Aussies, apart from optic lines to EU.
Anyhow looking for a VPS in Britain then.
I found a little problem with de_dust_thunder, updated the archive.
New server is up at 46.235.226.63:27015 in the UK.
I propose we start at 20:00 GMT, all good or do you US guys want a bit later ?

Yeah the 20th
I need some extra time to prep and US won't have to start on working hours.

Connected to the new server and my ping is still an acceptable 130-150.
Anyone up for testing the server out this evening?

As a result of today's testing:
- de_dust_thunder has a lot of severe clipping problems and I often found myself stuck in level geometry in stairs and doorways. Definitely does not help and needs fixing.
- fy_17b_snow_village is tiny but alright for quick DM I guess.
- de_pizza is alright but BLOODY HUGE for the expected attendance. And I got stuck in geometry in a place or two.
- dm_basement_rats is a terrible map and should be removed (sorry lajron). All of us straight up spawned inside walls or inside the floors a considerable number of times and in a variety of different places. Plentiful of invisible walls make navigation weird. Not to mention the lighting problems. It's so dark that increasing game brightness to 100% only improved it from "I can only see the golden lamps in an otherwise pitch black place" to "I can barely see the outline of geometry in the deep darkness".

^ what Stu said. Big apologies for not testing maps before recommending ='(
DiscoStu, Jessie and I were playing for a bit and we found some issues with a some of the maps.
Basement rats is a fine map, but due to some technical issues it would probably be better to remove it from the tourney.
De_dust_thunder has some fps lag issue and "stickyness", i.e., when traversing stairs and entering doorways, sometimes you are unable to move for a second or two, although I don't know how much is due to ping, high wpoply, and/or clipping issues.
I figure cs_ maps don't fly in tourneys, otherwise I'd suggest Omega Assault or even The Labyrinth. Got good reviews for them.I don't see why we couldn't have a few hostage rescue maps in the mix, Omega Assault would be a fantastic addition IMO

Thats also a bit of a blunder on my part by not giving time to test them out, just ran through to make sure it works.
Are you proposing a map list change ?

At least remove basement rats and possibly more of the ones Stu mentioned, The rest are probably ok...
Dust thunder might be ok with a little optimization, though idk if Zeebs would have time to edit it.. I will take a look at it tomorrow on Zeeba's behalf since I have the source, and play at some optimizing
Some new maps to fill the holes would also be nice. Stu's above maps would most likely make fine additions to the rotation.
Btw, a Rock-The-Vote feature would be wonderful if you can't swing it, but if not, maybe at least temporarily reduce the round times for testing purposes

Well it sure is weird that you spawn in walls and floors but eh i never really tested the map online i was mostly focused on the theme.
Not sure about de_newhorizon can anyone confirm it's working well?

Basement rats goes away and gets replaced by Omega assault.
de_dust_thunder - stays, because i didn't find it unplayable, few stutters here and there.
fy_snow_village - stays, only winter themed map.
de_pizza - stays, unless you got better suggestions.
Need 1 more map quick

Does it rain in thunder for others? It's supposed to but doesn't for me.
Also, in another map I threw a grenade and it crashed cs lol.

Its a map that you play by using only one weapon - a knife.
It is the kind of a map where timing is all.

It is a whole different world compared to AWP maps.
It includes a lot of movement and usage of engine glitches (air control).
Its boring only if you give up if something is slightly hard.

You haven't even tried it yet you say its boring.
There are maps where you start off in a cannon that shoots every one into the sky where you can score a kill like that, but than you fall onto the ground and you can surf on water or run on the pavement.
There are also maps with accelerated surf ramps where you can also fly out and stuff.
Guess its not fun for those who don't know air control (which is really simple to learn).
This reminded me of one AWP map where you also get shoot out, and you have to infiltrate the terrorist camp with knife only, where terrorist have an 10 bullet AWP. Really fun map.
And than there is that one HE map where he grenades fall from the sky and you run around the map. And who can forget he_glass!

I understand that people like to mix things up with different game modes like awp maps and surf maps, but that's not why I bought counter strike, so any tournament involving them can count me out.

SO, when are we having the next tourney? If we decide to do CS again, maybe Dimbark would be kind enough to write us a general CS tips tutorial, so that some of us might have a fighting chance at some payback
I'm good for $20 in steam games for the next tourney's prize kitty too, Ruf.
