[Suggestion] TV2 Custom Map Testing Nights

As you may have noticed, TV2 is kinda dead. But we can rebuild it! We have the technology!

I recall a time where we set aside a day each month to test new custom maps on the customs server. But those days slowly dwindled away, and now I haven't seen one in forever.


That is why I propose that we test out two or three custom maps on TV2 every so often. How "so often"? I was hoping every two weeks or so. Close enough together that people won't forget about it, and far enough apart that people won't grow tired of it quickly.

The only "rules" to this would be to show up on the specified days to test some neat new maps from the TF2 community, then to debate whether or not to put it in voting or the rotation.


If anyone has an suggestions to add to this, feel free (that's what this forum is for, after all)
"So what have you been up to, man? Haven't seen you in so long!"
"Ah, you know how it is. Doin' a lot of side projects, some consulting, maybe a little freelance... Those are words that people say when they haven't actually been doing anything, right?"

TV2 has a special place in my heart and I wish you the best of luck, but I think its glory days may have came and went

I like the idea! Getting more than 12 people on TV2 at a time is hard. I think it deserves more attention.

I like TV2. If the baby isn't screaming at me I'd be happy to join. 8)

Got nothing wrong with a custom map night myself, but I believe we're testing playable maps and not fun maps right? (Such as maps like Stovepipe or db_heights and not maps like Wackyraces or lolcano). Even so expanding horizons doesn't hurt. Name a date and i'll see what I can do and I promise I won't just ignore the invites this time.

This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

I'd like to think we could do a bit of both.

Mixing in some derp-fests sounds good to me

For tv2 even I would put down my Armscor Striker and come running.
