General response:

Thank you all for getting back to me, glad to see others would be interested in varying up gameplay and I'm glad the suggestion seems to be going over well, I'd love to hear from Lardy and Koen what they think but my main goal here is to have a discussion and whole I'm advocating for me preferred maps I'm open to see if anyone else has any suggestions for old maps to play. My suggested maps are that, suggestions and so I'm not advocating just those maps. While selfishly I'd love to play random v9 and paranoid v10 (bird and turtle items are just the best thing ever) but I'm flexible and do hope anyone else who wants to offers old maps or versions that may also serve to invigorate the playerbase.

Individual responses:

Thanks Life, always appreciate seeing you as I don't see you much these days! A lot of that comes down to me being antisocial and busy with life I'm happy with two maps being in at the same time and just sharing a cool down and I think it's a great idea.

Also Hobitten, my apologies about Mako v3 hadn't realized it crashes the server. Ignore that one.

Regarding sticky and Mountain BBO, we don't have to do that one. There's a separate Sonaki version that was played a while ago on GFL and I don't have the file but I'm sure it's out there somewhere and it plays differently so may be worth a shot Sticky. 

Thanks everyone for getting back to me on this.

Hi Nide,

Hope you are all doing well, I am making this forum post as a request to rotate certain versions to maps which have exciting, and interesting older versions which are currently underplayed, and seemingly unknown to much of the playerbase. After speaking with numerous players last night on ze_random_v10fix I came to realize that many of them hadn't played ze_random_v9, despite it being more popular on unloze than v10, and seemingly may not have known any surface level differences. I feel like a lot of older ze maps have interesting, unique, and significant gameplay changes which vary from the traditional versions that the nide community is used to. 

Through varying map choices and rotating, or at least switching for a time and seeing how the server reacts, I believe that the nide playerbase will benefit from a 'new' (well technically old) take on a lot of popular maps, whether that map emphasize team defending more (such as minas v2 emphasizing defending more than v3) or emphasize bhopping more (mount doom v3 which is a lot easier to bhop on than mount doom v4) I feel like these gameplay elements may serve to help the server improve their gameplay, vary up the gameplay, and keep a lot of the existing maps which are played frequently 'fresh'. Rather than playing minas marathon, or paranoid for the 1000th time, why not try something similar, but new? While a lot of these older maps are older for a reason, many of them are more enjoyable in some ways than more recent versions. As mentioned earlier random_v9 is a lot more popular on GFL css and Unloze than random_v10fix. 

I'm suggesting that the following maps be rotated in for one day out of the week, or potentially one week out of the month, or even just added to the public nomlist outright (for a trial period) so that they can be played and the nide playerbase may enjoy the challenge of maps they know, but with a different taste.

ze_random_v9 

ze_paranoid_ultimate_v10_4

ze_lotr_minas_tirith_v2_2fix

ze_ffvii_mako_reactor_v3_1 

ze_tesv_skyrim_v2_2fix  (or v3, but I don't know where a download is for it)

ze_lotr_mount_doom_v3 

ze_mountain_escape_bbo_v1  (this version used to be played a lot and is still fun, but I haven't seen it in years and can't see if it's still on the noms list as the link from ingame here: https://nide.gg/css_ze_maplist/ is down)

ze_ut2004_convoy_v2_1 (don't have a download link, but it's got a harder boss fight)

Please let me know what you all think, and I'd love to hear how the nide playerbase feels about these maps.  

Nide is going to win Santa. I can't wait to see it!

As right I know two maps that, is Potc which is quite dumb to disable bhop on potc and they have also disabled it on Surf Sahok.

Thanks, I'd like to see their reasoning for these changes, as I feel like bhop is what makes potc enjoyable for me (though it does mean teamwinning is essentially impossible), while on surf sahok I can somewhat understand due to how it's never won on na hour, though I do think maybe have a vote would suffice rather than disabling it permanently, hopefully an admin can shed light on their reasoning for those changes

+1 The few times I've come on with mikitou, I've had great experiences with mikitou admining

Wait what maps are they disabled on? as a note* I'm for bhop on pretty much every map except like maybe toaster

You all are asking the nide community to overlook the fact that this man has used spray control hacks, aim hacks, and laser hacks on unloze. Which is more realistic, he used a hack, or, he installed custom textures, and stopped using a laser hack, even though malal has mentioned that he kept using a recoil and spread hack? Either way, using hacks in general damages your credibility, now 9/10 times I'd give you the benefit of the doubt, however, you're asking me to give you the benefit of the doubt, after weeks of hacking on unloze, and even using norecoil on nide? I'm 100% in favor the of the ban, and would like to post this as back up to your points. 

I'd also like to point out even if you weren't hacking, your behavior surrounding these allegations has been horrible, not only do you not seem to show remorse for hacking, you stopped shooting zombies for the most part, as well as not shooting the boss, and just generally seem to act quite toxic, all of which combined merits a punishment, and makes those who are involved less likely to take your side or believe what you're saying. All of this being said, I am in favor of your ban, though I do think it should be reduced to 6 months, as anyone can change.

It's 9 am Philippine time

I set up this event, the goal was to do a time that worked for americans, i.e. 9 p.m. for eastern time zone, and I don't want them to not play, which I would assume for anytime after 10 or 11 p.m. and it was early enough for asians to join, i.e. 9 am philippine and early enough I think around 9 for singapore and 10 am for korea. 

I agree wholeheartedly with this thread, I love paranoid, mountain, and rpd, and would love to see them back on the server. As plex and lightning strike mention, paranoid and mountain do seem to be good for player counts, sure we shouldn't spam bbo as we did a few months ago, however as long as maps have cooldowns around like 60-90 it shouldn't be an issue from my perspective. 

+1 good guy from what I've seen, thanks for applying and wanting to help the community

I'd second this idea, but perhaps we could do something like a 'late night' event for americans and asians, so our south americans and north americans friends, as well as asian ones can all join, as currently the events are very early in the morning for me as well.

+1 always been a chill and great guy

I would suggest putting this on admin nomination, as I've seen us enjoying ancient wrath lately, and this is just a version of ancient wrath with more added to it

+1 nice guy, active, helped me out with some csgo stuff when i was on RSS and is a very welcoming and helpful person
