I've upgraded my connection a tad. Also added 2 more players to the server for a total of 8 now. Lets see how things go with this many.
You guys are playing alot more then me these days. I was in today and got my butt handed to me...LOL! If you think this was a bad move, use
sv_maxplayers 6 command. Let me know and I will change it back on the server.
I'm sure we could probably added a few more players, but not sure that would be fun.
Let me know what you think.

Will give it a go Skel and see how it is.....
I have been struggling to get into the server latley myself, as I have been really busy with work stuff, as I'm in the middle of learning a few new tasks at work that involve a lot of paperwork and computer data entry....
When I get the opportunity I will go and have a play......

The only draw back I can see is, harder to score. Might need to learn new tricks...LOL! Then again, you guys have the power to switch maps. At least the bigger maps will be more fun. Not sure about the smaller ones yet.
Watch the lag factor. Let me know if it is better or worse. Like I say, you guys can always switch it back to 6. (or add 2 more lol)
In theory, I can do 12, but probably would lag.

I had a chance to play last night and it is pretty intense with the additional players. The smaller maps are total carnage and the plasma wars maps don't take as long to play.
I wouldn't take it up to 10 players. For the past few weeks I've been noticing that the server lagged whenever there were 6 players. 5 players were fine, but 6 made it lag.
Back on topic, though, 8 players = #thumb#. I don't know what the answer is for scoring. To play to 1 cap may be fine, but it doesn't account for the "lucky" caps.

I think if you had the cooperation of your team mates to totally supress any resistance, a flag could be gotten.
If you waited to get 'set-up', with at least two of your team mates in offensive position around the enemy base, I think a flag cap is totally possible.

Lag could have been caused by my modem going bad. It really died last night. 8 pm west coast time it said "NO MORE"! We have a brand new one to cook, so lets see how things go with 8 before bumping up.
I really notice a difference now....WOW!

Oh, that's right - I forgot. It crapped out on us though and never came back.

You have rats or mice eating your wiring??
The internet connection in the old building that my boss leased was really bad......there were days that the connection was great, and others that were really bad...eventually the connection was dead.....
Turned out that rats ate through the wiring.......(apparently they like the wiring's coating).....

Who knows what happened to the line. Now it is a direct connect to a different port on the block. The block already had 2 bad ports, so they will be replacing it.
Hopefully it will be fine, but time will tell. It will be down sometime next week while they replace the block.....I think.
At least I have a better modem suited for the new connection. Plus a back-up one in case this one takes a dump...LOL!

Woohoo! Double post for me...LOL! I think they switched out the port block today. Seems to be zipping along right now! Hopefully all got fixed now!
So what say you on the 8 man server thing? Yay or nay?
