ZPS Fun Nights are back!

[Pillz]

HELL YEAH FUN NIGHT FUCK YEEAH

First thing; Death runs have been removed from rotation. They, and other entertaining but not casual ZPS style maps have been moved to Fun Nights! This MAY NOT be permanent; we will see how it affects the server over the next few weeks and decide if this is a good choice or not; we've been so infinitely populated lately and I want to see how the server does with maps that focus on the standard ZPS gameplay. If you don't like it or think it's not a good idea, let me know; I'm not 100% sure but a lot of the regular players are more than happy to see them go.

Seond thing; WHAT IS FUN NIGHT? Fun Night used to be where we use to password the server, usually only forum members who saw the password on the funnight thread thread could get in, but we won't be doing that. Fun Night will include all the deathruns, and other fun maps like Smashcannonz, van_volleyball, buses from hell, and many other maps that we just didn't wanna put in rotation for one reason or another. They're all fun and exciting, and the present admins will be allowed to make votes to make the night funner. I'll always be there to start and end it though; when those times and days can vary, but hopefully a consistent date will be established.

+Fun Nights will last about 3-4 hours; usually from 8PM or so to 12AM East coast; 5PM-9PM for West Coast and like 1AM-4000AD for Europeans. As the date changes so might the times, I will update those here; or will repost if this thread becomes crowded. Save map suggestions for the map suggestions thread, or feel free to make your own threads.

+Events created could be:
+ do mazeland on drugs
+ have skybox battles on Iceland
+ Headshot only mode on any given map
+ enable deathmatch mode and have infinite survivor respawn "every man for himself" battles on any map
+ attempt deathruns with zombies chasing you and using traps on you too
+ simply play the deathruns (the secret reason 60% of people will be on the server at the time)
+ play gravitywars or cabinetrape and melee couches and filing cabinets into anyone you can
+ play van volleyball where you try to punt vans into the opposite team to kill them
+ play the ferris wheel map and jizz everywhere
+ chacha slide?

TL;DR WE'LL DO WHATEVER THE FUCK WE CAN TO ENTERTAIN YOU<3

+Fun Night will be held once a week, and maybe eventually once every other week; but we'll shut the server down for a few minutes before and then change the maplist to funnights maps. If anyone has any requests, find links and files for me; we'll play it JUST FOR YOU. If you ever have any suggestions to make fun night funner, just let us know.

+The timelimit for funnight will be changed from 45 to either 15 or 20. This way we can vote if anything becomes to incredibly annoying, and if it's fucking amazing, vote 6 for extend! If you don't play ZPS, maybe these are the nights to play. Not all veterans are admin though; if you want admin before you attend let me know.

Woah woah woah WOAH. I saw Aquatica and Church Seige on that list. Does that mean they are off rotation? I hope not, both are legitiment maps and can be played as such without waiting for fun night.

NOPE! Some standard maps will be included; churchsiege2 was included for it has the STAR WARS theme when you press the piano.

Armory will be the introductory map for letting people join as the announcement summons them on steam and the such; and also for populating if need be so.

Which day should I make Fun Night? Thursday next week, or Friday?

make sure to plan it pillz on our steam group


make an event for it as it helps automatically adjust the time to what time zone you are in and will alert the 3,300 in our group that it started automatically.

Mmk; I was doing this but apparently I never created the event.

[Ðeath.]

Cha Cha slide you say? Cha Cha Slide everywhere? I believe Friday would just be a good setting, in my opinion.

This will be awesome

Fun night will be later tonight! I rescheduled it an hour early to help allow me to be there a bit longer, so it will be at 7PM EST; I won't do all the  math for you but that's about midnightish for EU and about 4-5PM for Western USA.

It'll go on for a few hours, as long as we have admins on to take care of it, and I'll finally shut it down after about 4 hours if it doesn't die out beforehand.

yay!  I had trouble connecting last time, so many people joining.  Anyway, when I got in, it was fun.

All I need is some props flying all over the place and some
zps_gravitywar_b1
and other crap.

[Multigrain]

Was fun, had lots of people come on. Though it really started to die off when people kept picking deathrun after deathrun.

Yeah I really hate deathrun so that was it for me. It was good to play some zps with all of you CGers, can't wait for the next fun night.

Ya not a fan of death-runs, but I loved gravity wars and volleyball when the cars didn't get stuck.

[Pillz]

Glad you guys had fun!

Next time I'll only have one or two deathruns on maybe; like mario world and jungle. They used to be the only way we could really populate so I'm glad to hear they kill the server now, haha. I was hoping to do them with like low gravity, music and crazy physics, but wasn't around when they were on, so I apologize.

I might switch volleyball out for van_dodgeball, which is more poorly made, but has more cars and they get stuck less. The recent update kind of bugged the map out and ammo gets caught up with vans, which never happened before as badly.

Next fun night on Friday! Not 100% sure yet, so I won't schedule it until I'm fo sho; but we need more fun maps though! If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for the next fun night, let me know! I wish I could get to my old computers ZPS map file, if I can there will be many lulz.

On the deathruns I did low gravity for a lot of rounds but not stupidly low gravity, since that kinda defeats purpose of map and makes it boring for zombies; just enough gravity thought to make the traps quite a bit easier.

I was thinking it might be fun to TP zombies into the human spawn a few seconds after the round starts to let them try and kill the humans, but also avoid the traps themselves. Who knows, we'll try different things as the fun nights happen.

Fun night tonight at 7PM EST! Will last until I have to leave around 9PM; SEE YOU THERE.
