Number two: clan match passwords - never again clan1clan2 passwords, to avoid uninvited guests alltogether. In the future, only custom passwords which do not contain the clan names involved.
Number three: Don't come asking for rule changing shortly before match starts. For example we play WITHOUT AirControl (since AC belongs entirely to UT, not Unreal) so if you ask for a match expecting AC not knowing we don't use it, ask BEFORE agreeing to the match please!
Now let's get to the important part though, MAP SELECTION SYSTEM:
We have internally decided on a new map selection system. The goals are:
1) not to play any maps which one of the clans involved dislike
2) fall back on "standard" picks as a result on hard to agree on maps
3) enforcement of CUSTOM MAPS
When we challange a clan, we will PROPOSE the new system, but not enforce it. However, when YOU CHALLANGE US, our system applies! It works like this:
The challanged clan provides a list of maps which are all okay for the challanged clan to play in a match. The CHALLANGER then picks ALL MAPS, but only from that list!
Simple eh? This should avoid hate maps on either side primarily...
I had proposed at least 15 maps for best out of 3 matches, and a minimum of 20 for best out of 5, but starts are small, so the first list to be provided (I had prepared 2) will be quite traditional (though you will be missing Deck16... for now).
DEFAULT MAP LIST AS OF NOV.15TH 2003
DmColdRuins (NcNapali Clan map)
DmCurse (Standard map)
DmExamination (NcNapali Clan map)
DMGrooveMachine (NcNapali Clan map)
DmIUFcombat (NcNapali Clan map)
DMLiandri
DMobservatory
DmRag'na
DmRoute66
DmSinfonia
DMWashboard
Dm-Loxi
Dm-Mojo
DM-Sunder (UUG Tournament map)
DmBlackheart
Dm-Agony-Unreal
Maps which are strongly suggested to be added later:
At least ONE more standard map should be added soon (either Deck, Elsinore or Ariza, Deck is a no because overplayed, so maybe do Sui a favor and have Elsi in the list
)RESTRICTIONS ON THE LIST
1) Best out of 3: maximum ONE standard map
2) Best out of 5: maximum TWO standard maps
3) The choice "one standard + Sinfonia + Observatory" is NOT possible!
Rule 2 can be ignored for now as Curse is the only standard map listed.
All of the above maps are downloadable from www.oldunreal.com/kdstcpmaps/ and at least one other mirror (if not let me/Carnage know).
The List is subject to change as of }TCP{'s internal suggestions and polls. Any change is NOT applicant unless it is posted HERE!
Outside clans MAY propose a map to be added to the list if that map is being played regularly on a public server! A WORKING downlink link must be provided along with the proposal! Missing packages in the download file will disqualify the proposal immediately.
Maps which rely over 90% on a single weapon cannot be proposed, that means: no Morbias (8ball only), no Bathroom (Rifle mainly, camper map), no Zahltag (same...) and so on...
