I like a lot of servers and maps. Bloodbath can be when I'm in the mood. Many others though.
If a server is on the very top of the list, the noobs are going to go there in the greatest force, no matter what map is being run on that server. And from a statistical standpoint, the server that has the most players is going to have the most beginning players. It's simply a matter of probability.Quantum Tank wrote:Well I disagree with A Distraction, I don't really like Mofo, there's too much, uh, immaturity, to put it bluntly. Not that its not great. Personally I like Bloodbath, because of its major strategical and teamwork element (unlike most other ctf servers). No, I don't think it is a noob sponge (at least most of the time). Even though lots of people think it's a "camping" map, I don't agree. Anybody who's played there for a long time would realize that.
And yes, servers are very different from maps.
I recently found bloodbath, and I really like the map, but I would like to play on a server without the geno flag. My problem is that whenever I go to the middle to get a narrow to get a team flag, then I get hit by geno and then then team mates get unhappy. I would like to have fun and play recklessly without spoiling the fun for others. But then again the server is extremely popular, so I may be the only one having a problemA Distraction wrote: And I must disagree with your argument that Bloodbath is not a camping map. In my experience, the whole strategy of the map is based off of camping in some shape or form. Nobody goes to the middle of the map and starts fighting like they would on a GU map. The whole point of the map is to find a flag, then find a good safe camping spot, and sit there, waiting for people to come into your line of sight.
In many ways the Planet M servers are indeed fun to play at. They have good settings, are constantly working on the maps, and try to keep everything for the player in mind. Everything except morals (sometimes). Partly why the BZFX server (as an example) was so popular was because of the rules it set and its administration. They did not allow a player to rejoin as a different name and mock or harass another person... especially with an administrator seeing every detail. They didn't have racial, sexual, or profane advertisements or chat allowed in any way. And that's what many players look for... a good, fair, clean game. I know I'd rather play a clean game of bzflag even at a slightly lesser server or map than I would at a place that allows pretty much anything.Spazzy Mcgee wrote:I don't like all this "MoFo is immature" talk. I don't see it as immature at all. MoFo allows bad language, if that's what you mean - the way I see it, many of our players are more mature as a consequence, and more likely to have a good, fun, open and fair game. It's just the odd kid that gets carried away. That's my opinion.
I reckon that MoFo is one of the most innovative and actively supported servers in the game. The MoFo group are constantly looking for new ways to improve their game, and they don't let it stagnate. Fair?
I never felt that way but lately I'm really getting into the GU-league and loving it.Saturos wrote:GULeague > any public server.
