Never Never Never have anything but Avanti 24/7 on TV1 !!! If you want to change the rotation add some custom maps to TV5.

Like Danno says different maps different days or add anything new. Same continual cycles tend to get boring and I think its time to get with what players want to alieveate this. Try it what have we got to loose. If the server continues to remain empty revert back to avanti or try something else. Anything to fill the server helps. Its a shame to see just how few actually play on the server compared to the old days, hell it was full all the time. Times change, people change, maps change so why not servers. If we find a map that always seems full then we have a hit and its a keeper.

how dare yall try and take AVANTIVILLE away from it's roots. when is the last time any of yall have actually tried to get a few people on TV1? last night i enjoyed an awesome game between albino, sgt stutter and myself. with just us three regs the game was awesome. why not just go there as it is? hell, i join the server when it's empty sometimes and all i have to do is wait about 5 minutes before someone shows up.

Danno, lov the sig!
I know Chan has a simalar one...lov yours too Chan 
I like the attack & defend idea.
I'm just not sold on putting it on TV-1.
I have an idea! TheVille was once know as TurkeybugersVille, and once, WarpathVille and also once know as AvantiVille.
How 'bout a rotation of these 3 maps?
For a trial period...and see if the attendance changes.
Personally, warpath and avanti are my fav's ...I'd stick around for Turkeyburgers just so I can kill JD.

kamikaze and gindapoo thanks for the frags, that was an awsome game I had a blast. 
I agree if more regs showed up, the server would fill fairly quick imho. If there is just one person on join in and have a crowbar war until more show up I've done this and it is FUN.  Its also nice to get back to your roots once in a while.
Maybe we should have a scheduled avantiville night once a week. Post it in the fourms for the regs, PWG, TVB, BR, US, NJK and who ever else would like to join. I think this would be a blast.

PALERMO!!!!
And Avanti of course   |
This would be good, I really like the attacker/defender capture the city maps.
But I would have to say that I would prefer that TV1 be all avanti.
(To me it just doesn't seem right for TheVille not to have an all avanti server in TV1.)

Sure is...
Create a .cfg file for each map that needs a different time limit than the one specified in the server.cfg. For instance: Avanti.cfg will have mp_timelimit 40, Palermo.cfg will have mp_timelimit 30, and TurkeyBurgers.cfg will have mp_timelimit 30.
The .cfg files will be under the /tfc directory.... not the maps directory. It is just like setting up different configs for each class type on the client side.
Each time the map loads on the server, the new/differnent settings will load with it. This goes for any other variable that you want to have different than what is in the server.cfg file.
Hope that helps.

I remember one night it was just Blue-Ruler and several others - Stutter and/or Gindapoo I think. Well we actually played tick-tack-toe on the wall by using our nail guns to "write" on the walls. It was pretty frigin hilarious.  Then more showed up and we had a good game.
I would love it if it stayed all Avanti!!!
My Palermo chant was to say that if it was GOING to have a rotation that Palermo is one I really like. 
I will have to change my filters to show empty servers and will go there more often to encourage games. I actually like a 2 or 3 people per team game. I have even enjoyed a 1 v 1 before. It is nice for a change of pace.

Hehe, no seriously, please don't change TVI. Even if it is hard to fill the server, it isn't because of the map. Maybe we can do what some other servers do and have bots that don't play. They only join when there are few players on the server, and when more players join they leave. The only thing they do is take up player spots so it looks like there are people on the server. This is the best way to get real players on the server, and it won't affect gameplay once people join.
Good idea but all Avanti is boring and people just don't want to play Avanti again and again.
Those servers do stay full alot I play at one all the time but the bots play though they are hella funny.TV5 would be well served to ad this feature also.Anything but all Avanti sounds good Merf
