Seed the server @ 7 PM EST and have fun

It looks like we've been a little inconsistent lately in getting the server seeded. I'm sure it's part of the usual summer cycle but sometimes we just need a time to get people idling in Steam onto the server at one time. Whenever we get even a couple people on the server, it's full within 15-20 minutes.

So let's designate 7 PM EST as the official seeding time if the server is not already active. This should help the typical seeders get on at the same time and get things going.

Also, since I've been working nights lately, I've noticed most of our regulars bailing before I get home around 10:30 CST. We've been seeing a new wave of people coming in and filling up the server later at night the past few weeks, so if you see the server's partially full around this time and you want to play, hop on and the server will likely fill up again.

One other thing worth mentioning is that I've noticed some less than fun moments on the server lately. People with short tempers, poor kit selection, others complaining for no reason, and so on. Let's remember that this is a game and we're here to have fun with cartoon violence. The server could stand to lighten up a bit, and we could use a boost of 'FUN' in our games more. So keep that in mind when playing here - even if your team is down it's just a game and let's keep the mood on the server focused on teamwork and fun.

Any other thoughts on how we can improve the server or spike interest in the summer doldrums?

I'll be there tonight to help out with the seeding, my summer is gonna be over in about 2 weeks so I'm gonna try to pack in as much TF2 as I can since I'll be on much less afterwards.

I'm a little under the weather so I'll seed some more tonight. Hopefully it goes quicker than the last two nights. I get tired of intentionally losing to Arf.

I only seed on even hours (2pm, 4pm, 6pm, etc).

Sorry.

Sorry.

But, if you're on Central Time, it's permissible to seed at odd hours too. For example 3PM, 5PM, 7PM etc. The extra hour will give you heaps of time to read the 14 page volume of new rules we made up.
