Yeah, it does that if no one plays it for a while.
Musta been quite a shock.

strait into the wall in less then a sec

the name should be ed's highly experimental mayhem, random server

really awesome! i finally actually played w/ like 8 ppl including ct ky|e, it was so much fun!

wow speed factor 387 is more fun about 1/3 of a sec into wall

Couple of new maps today. A crazy nano sumo and zig and zag made by Kyle.
I haven't had a chance to test them on a full server yet, so if you do, let me know how they go.

It ain't that popular a server, which is a good thing, as if it were I'd probably take it down - it's used to test new stuff. It does fill up at busy times if people are playing there, and most seem to like it. It just takes 2 or 3 players to start it off. No one likes playing with Latex (not in public, anyway).

Well, it's complete. Aside from a little tinkering needed with settings.
All maps and settings, including stage settings are now being read from a mysql database.
A couple of perl scripts are doing the job of map/setting/stage rotation.
You want say I rename it Crazy Tronners Wild Mayhem (or CTW Survival perhaps), or should I take it down? It's not that busy, but I do get positive responses from most people who play there. I put it up as an experiment really, to see if I could get it to do what it does, it seems I could (with a little help from wrtlprnft along the way, thanks).
My original plan was to use the stages on Wild fortress, instead of having a deathzone after a time of inactivety, have the settings change, making life a lot more interesting for the attackers/defenders left on the grid.
In theory this could be accomplished very easily, but the time involved to come up with different settings for each round would be huge. And would it make a great difference anyhow?
