Should the map mp_beach be dropped from the campaign and replaced with another map?
Yes, the objective is too easy and engineers might as well be smg soldiers. (16 votes)
No, axis just don't know how to defend and engineers are sucks anyway. (8 votes)
Have a look at the team wins page. It looks to me like we could improve those numbers by moving a couple of maps around. The only two maps that are not coming out even are battery and venice_b4. I speculate that if we move these two maps to later in the campaign, Axis will have a better chance to defend with more powerful field ops. What do you think?
Yes, change the campaign to [temple_final;fueldump;rhine_bridge;goldrush;oasis;battery;venice_b4;] (4 votes)
No, leave the campaign as [temple_final;fueldump;battery;venice_b4;rhine_bridge;goldrush;oasis;] (1 votes)

OK, the nostalgia campaign is getting the axe. Although turnout was low, I'm using the 7 highest rated maps from this survey to make a new single campaign. Which order should they be in? Obviously, it wouldn't make sense to list all permutations, but here are some off the top of my head.
It looks like stalingrad is going to get replaced. Some people have suggested replacing two maps at once this time. What say you?
No, just replace stalingrad (11 votes)
Yes, drop battery (5 votes)
Yes, drop fun_beach_final (15 votes)
Yes, drop fueldump (1 votes)
Yes, drop oasis (0 votes)
Yes, drop goldrush (0 votes)
Yes, drop temple_final. (5 votes)
I've had a request to change the map order of the 7 map campaign. There are some constraints to doing this since the first map cannot be rhine_bridge, oasis, or radar since those are the first maps of other campaigns and will cause confilcts when the server first starts. Which is your preferred map order?
The current one [1944_beach;goldrush;rhine_bridge;battery;oasis;fueldump;radar;] (5 votes)
Hard-to-camp maps last [battery;fueldump;oasis;rhine_bridge;goldrush;1944_beach;radar;] (8 votes)
Custom maps last [fueldump;radar;oasis;battery;goldrush;rhine_bridge;1944_beach;] (1 votes)
Something else. (2 votes)
The rhine2 map has a newer version called rhineland_bridge that changes the water texture, puts a tank by the tunnel, connects the tunnels, and makes it harder to mine the bunker door. Should I try to seperate that map from v1_drakir.pk3 to replace rhine2.pk3?
Yes, it's worth it. (13 votes)
No, rhine2 is fine just how it is (3 votes)
Just put up the 30 MiB v1-drakir.pk3 file and use rhine_bridge from that. (0 votes)
Should marketgarden be true dual objective like the original? That is, when the time runs out should the map keep going until one of the sides runs out of lives or completes its objective. The default marketgarden_et final map has a 30 minute timelimit and Axis wins if the time runs out. I found a new version of the marketgarden_et.script on a German site (patch).
Yes, we don't need no stinking timelimit. (22 votes)
No, Axis needs yet another map to play defense on. (2 votes)
I've had requests for increasing the g_spawnInvul cvar. It's currently using the default which is 3 seconds. How long should players be invincible after their spawn?
The server setting g_packDistance is currently set at 2. Should it be increased?
No, medkits/ammopacks already go far enough (11 votes)
Yes, a little. (3) (6 votes)
Yes, a twice as far (four times the default) (4) (1 votes)
Yes, I want medics who could pitch for the Cubs (5) (0 votes)
Should we start holding scheduled campaigns that are closed to the public? You would need to sign up in advance for a scheduled time and teams would be decided upon before the campaign started (either by schoolyard pick, or direct stats comparison). Registration would be limited to players with level 1 shrubbot admin.
Yes, sign me up. (42 votes)
No, I wouldn't sign up for such a lame thing, or I don't have the ability to show up for anything on time. (7 votes)
Yes, some people are XP whoring the high score list. No, I don't feel like looking through the logs to find out if each high score is valid. What do you want done about it?

Just remove the current top 4 scores and hope it doesn't happen again. (3 votes)
Would you like to see a second 7 map campaign added to the rotation? Black has suggested a RTCW nostalgia campaign using the maps den of lions, mp_beach, mp_base, et_ice, et_village, plus railgun and radar for filler.
**DLS has made the jerk list 3 4 times recently. Should I remove his admin level? Don't worry about pissing him off, he has assured me that he doesn't want admin anyway, this is just a formality.
Should we enable Team Damage Restriction? The result should be less team killing and medics will no longer be able to cheat firstaid skill level by shoot-healing those poor mortar soldiers.
Yes, use defaults and ban for 2 minutes (g_teamDamageRestriction 25, g_minHits 6, g_autoTempBan 120) (4 votes)
Yes, use sparingly and ban for 2 mintues (g_teamDamageRestriction 50, g_minHits 12, g_autoTempBan 120) (1 votes)
Yes, use defaults but no temporary ban (g_teamDamageRestriction 25, g_minHits 6, g_autoTempBan 0) (0 votes)
No, it's stupid, let admins handle kicking. (13 votes)
Emerika was banned for having a cheat installed on 04-05. I've had multiple requests to remove the ban so I guess it's up to you. Should I remove the ban?

It's been brought up before, but here's a new angle: Should the high score list on the main page of the site reset?
Yes, reset it every time the campaign changes [map change]. (1 votes)
Yes, reset it every X days [if this wins there will be a poll for X] (3 votes)
No, just remove those 4 bogus scores (9 votes)

Would you be interested in attending ET training classes instructed by [HoT]Sauce? Classes will vary in length from 20-60 minutes followed by Q&A and show & tell (if anyone else wants to share their techniques, sniper spots, etc.) Courses may include, but are not limited to: Weapons Training, Basic Military Tactics, Advanced USMC Combat Tactics, Advanced ET Stratagem, and Advanced Map Stratagem. Admission is free, BYOB.
Jawohl - Knowledge is power, and knowing is half the battle. (12 votes)
Nein - [HoT]Sauce is a n00b, I'm going to school him! (18 votes)
It has come to my attention that some people are suffering momentary lag from the punkbuster auto screenshots that are being taken. Do you want pb_sv_autoss to be turned off?
Attendance has been suffering lately. In my opinion, this can be attributed mostly to two things. This first is that some GOATSE players are very angry about Panzer Free Friday and don't play here anymore. The second is that the new campaign requires so much downloading that it turns away most non-regulars (especially since the ET client crashes when downloading custom maps). What should be done about this?
Nothing. (5 votes)
Drop nostalgia campaign. (24 votes)
Go back to vanilla 6 map campaign. (4 votes)
The et mod that this server runs (shrubet) is no longer being maintained. On the other hand, the et mod etpro is in a constant state of improvement. I've been asked many times to switch to etpro, but there have always been hangups. The biggest has been etpro's lack of GUID based admin levels and ! commands. Now there's a new tool called etadmin_mod that adds shrubbot functionality to etpro. If this works reliably, there are only a few minor things that we will miss by migrating to etpro. Is it worth giving up corpse dragging, class switching, and playdead in order to use etpro?
Yes, etpro is worth it. (22 votes)

Reminiscent of the anti-BFG movement or yore, the anti-panzer activists are alive and well. I've had many requests to abolish panzer use on the server. This is not to say that the pro-panzer faction hasn't also been lobbying as I've had just as many requests to end the One Panzer Per Team Mandate. I consider myself a member of the Panzer Moderation Party, and I think most of you are on the fence as well. Coolbass (an obvious panzer abolishonist) has suggested a new idea: Panzer Free Friday. Should we run with "team_maxPanzers 0" on one day of the week?
Ja, stoppen Sie panzer n00bs! (25 votes)
No, and Coolbass is now panz0r b41t! (25 votes)
