Who: You and anybody else who reads this
What: Saturday Maw Gathering
When: Jan 27th @ 3:00pm EST(GMT -5)
Where: Bungie.net Maw server @ IP 8.2.0.184
Why: Because it so much more fun to kill people you know and laugh about it afterwards then to kill random noobs on public servers.

Maw Gatherings are when the members of these forums get together to wage mortal combat on the Maw server. Then we usually fill up this thread with our exploits and smacktalking. I try record my pwnage with Fraps and post a montage the next day.

There is a Teamspeak server available for those that have microphones. The address is ts20.gameservers.com:8824. I really encourage this, several of the members here get on it and it enhances the enjoyment. If you have voice-activation set it towards shout so we don't hear every breath you take. The language rule kind of went out the window with Teamspeak but I would like that to be more enforced there. Yes me too. I’ve been doing my best to censor myself. Try and be civil as possible everyone.

Here is the mapcycle I came up with using some of your suggestions:

sv_name "Bungie.net Maw Gathering"
sv_public True
sv_maxplayers 16
sv_rcon_password
sv_mapcycle_timeout 5
sv_tk_ban 4
sv_tk_grace 2
sv_tk_cooldown 60
sv_ban_penalty 10m 1d
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch classic_ctf
sv_mapcycle_add hangemhigh classic_slayer
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon assaultz hogs-only humna weapons
sv_mapcycle_add prisoner team_slayer
sv_mapcycle_add icefields racer short range weapons all-hogs
sv_mapcycle_add ratrace team_slayer
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia NosheeCTF
sv_mapcycle_add boardingaction classic_snipers
sv_mapcycle_add icefields 10secCTF 10-sec respawn to help flag capping
sv_mapcycle_add putput classic_phantoms kill your target everyone invis
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon ctf
sv_mapcycle_add damnnation classic_team_slayer
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch CTFnorm
sv_mapcycle_add carousel team_slayer
sv_mapcycle_add hangemhigh plasmaparty all plasma infinate stickies
sv_mapcycle_add deathisland DeathCTF 1 ghost, shee and tank
sv_mapcycle_add wizard juggernaut
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia teamsnipe
sv_mapcycle_begin

Rules in brief:
No Intentional Teamkilling
Keep foul language, flaming and random off-topic chatting to a minimum
Keep flag, spawn and port camping to a minimum
Keep the vehicles out of the tunnels and bases
Have fun.

OK I haven't played much but I didn't like the prisoner team slayer because you started with the plasma pistol and the rat race team slayer had 2 starting nades and become a nade spam fest. I'm not sure how to correct this because the generic starting weapons is the "pro" setup with A/R, pistol and two nades, the custom will remove the nades but then you starting with a plasma pistol. It's a catch 22, nade spam fest or the futility of trying to run around killing with a plasma pistol. Any ideas here would be appreciated because other wise I will remove them.

Any other map/gametype suggestions are welcome. I will not be in attendance for the next two or three Saturday Gatherings. I forgot Tuesday last week but I will keep doing those

I have not played much lately, as I'm busy repainting my apartment. Got sick last week and played some while resting. I noticed that my ping was way up on most servers, especially the Maw server.

I checked with my isp and they're doing work on the network in my area and will be for a while, so it's just as well that I have things that need doing.

Once my apartment is spiffy and the network is back to normal I hope to join you guys.

Mind if I organize a CMT map Maw gathering for whenever there is a next one?

Great idea but there is one show stopper. THe MAW server is setup as a HaloPC dedicated server. The CMT maps require HaloCE dedicated server, right? I would have to have gameservers.com re-install it as a HaloCE server then again to get it back to HaloPC, to much of a hassle.

However, I know that the <TUI> and HMC3 guys operate HaloCE servers so they maybe able to set something up.

I have a Halo CE dedi server, I would be happy to lock it and make a password so only maw forum members could join it.

Well then its up to you. You could make an announcement like I do, give out the details and links to the maps so people can get them beforehand, and setup the server. then sit back and see how it goes.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

I was there yesterday for awhile...the map rotation is good except that everyone wants to quit on the Ice Fields race. Good times though...lots of familiar faces and some good players I'd never seen before.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

Supprisingly I loved race on Ice Fields, once you get the hang of ye old hog over the bridge but still lands on it's wheels trick.

But then again, I love race on any map for some reason.
