Title: Moonshot Teamkilling

Scout

Sounds good to me. 32 players for a day sound like a fun one, x10 is maybe out of scope since the amount of work it would take versus the amount of time it would be used is questionable. I'd throw in another randomizer day instead

I figure doing this on the 19th or 20th would work, depending if ...

Really excited for all of these ideas!!!

Here's a suggestion though, so it doesn't get convoluted:
For each different kind of plugin/big change/custom gamemode, separate them by day so we dont get them all at once.
Make a schedule, so monday is saxton hale/freak fortress day, tuesday is ...

Scout

Making two changes

Sandvich: Back to the self heal drop version with no infinite eating. Buffalo steak unchanged, so from a drop perspective they're now equal but you can full heal with the sandvich by eating. I don't like the buffalo being the better consistent healing item
Backburner ...

Probably a good idea to get a thread on this going since it's just 3 weeks away.

I have one important thing to note: the event should be from June 11 (day the first servers were made) to June 18 (day the Steam group was made), not June 12 to June 19 . (Source for dates: Old Castaway website )

The version of Cactus Canyon we use is inaccurate; it has some custom changes made to the second stage

Do you know what other changes are made? If that's all, I'd be more inclined to keep the version we have as it seems to be liked by everyone, and that dropdown in particular seems fine to ...

release enforcer
Release Enforcer just doesn't feel right to me, mainly due to the straight upgrade with Dead Ringer part.

If what huutti says about the release Chargin' Targe is correct, then no, don't revert it.

I record demo's of all my matches, but it's a pain in the ass to set down and scrub through a dozen 45 minute demo's trying to find cool things I did. Got any tips that might streamline the process?

There isn't really a process. Here's what I wrote about it in my SourceTV demo guide :

Out of the last 40 videos posted to the official Castaway TF2 Servers YouTube channel , 29 of them (72.5%) were made by me. That's retarded, and I want it to stop. The channel is one of many reasons why Castaway is so special, and it doesn't deserve to be as neglected as it is.
Here are 5 reasons ...

having 2 mge maps led to us going from one to the other once we hit the player threshold, when we switched half the server left and it took 25 minutes for us to get back to 9/24

Does the auto swap work at least

Yeah I think so
