Is there any chance we could have a pre-arrange game time?
I used to see 417 quite a bit but now he seems to drop off the maps as well. I'm playing Americas Army 3 (I perfer TLS but no ones there) most of times now.
I was thinking times like 7PM - 10PM (-7 Mountain time)Weekdays weekends off. I understand that not everyone could stay on for 3 hours, I myself included. However, if people can drop by along those times it would be great. I love how there more maps with objectives now...if only we could get rid of the sancturies... (sorry 417, it seems those arent popular when map change there we lose 50% and the other 50% demand switch maps which I do, and when that happens I lose another 50% of the 50% remaining. (Good luck understanding that :D:D:D)

Our designated gaming nights for SGTLS are Mondays and Thursdays (Info Thread (http://www.asseater.org/forums/showthread.php?t=273)).

I have been monitoring the server a lot (several hours each day if not more) but not actually playing to much due to my video card overheating issues.

Realistically I can only play for more then 5 minutes in the very late evening or early am hours while it's still cool. I ave no money for a new video card much less a new rig so I am forced to reduce my playing time availability when it's hot (In the upper 90's here daily).

The other [AE] members that play SGTLS have dropped off the face of the earth so it's pretty much just me you & sokar playing from our SGTLS division on a regular basis.

The server's usage has picked up considerably but still isn't used hardly much at all during the week. I go into it and try and seed it a few days a week but it only gets a handful of players.

With that said though the server was completely full three days last week for a good while which we haven't seen for a good while.

Wednesdays are not a day I can game in the evening at all. I usually try to be on on our designated playing nights but due to the overheating issue I can't play but for a few minutes (I just monitor the server usually).

I logged a good ten hours of playing this week even with the overheat issues so I'm not doing to bad. I haven't seen you on but maybe twice and you where either away of playing a different game.

As per the death match maps driving away players until we can have a good rotation of final objective maps we really need to have them in the rotation to add variety to keep players interest.

As per keeping people on the maps when they change the issue you mentioned is one that we will always have and will never cease to exist.

A lot of people choose to leave the game at map change, then if it's a map they don't like they just leave as well. Even when it's changed to requested map people use that action as an excuse to stop playing because of whatever (usually because they don't like the map or are tired of playing on it [this is the real big issue with our mod right now]).

I can't port new DM maps fast enough before people get bored of them to keep fresh maps going to draw them into the server even though it is a death match map.

I am going to reduce the number of death match maps in the rotation now that we have some decent beta maps that are objective maps. With that said, though we will still have them in the rotation until we can have at least seven objective maps in the rotation not including the default maps (which everyone is really bored of).

You can find me on in the late pm and early am hours and monitoring the server erratically throughout the week. Sometimes I am monitoring the server but am not on Steam so it doesn't appear I am around even though I am.
