Every Friday at 8pm CT is Fortress Friday!
If this is your first time playing and you want to join our server, here’s what you need to do.
Click the green “Find a Game” button in the upper right hand corner and click “Community Servers.” Once you open the server browser, click the Favorites tab. Click “Add a Server,” and then enter the hostname below. Then enter the password down below when connecting.
Just over the weekend I was cleaning out the server. Updating files and removing workshop maps not in use anymore. I was carrying all the cfg files when suddenly I tripped and dropped them all. I was able to get them back, but mapcycle.cfg rolled out the door and into the storm drain. And as you all know, anything that goes down there belongs to the Sewer Clowns. So now they got a nice map list for their TF2 server.
As I sat in front of the drain and watched the Sewer Clowns have a rad lan party, I started thinking. Lately, we’ve been mainly playing on the same maps. We might have one or two make it to the top, but other than that, we would eventually play on Borneo or Blastpitt and the maps down below would usually get ignored. So let’s try something different.
Starting today, you can nominate maps in this thread for the next 24 hours. After than we will put the maps to a vote for another 24 hours. The top five maps will be added to the map rotation for starting on Friday and will remain on the server for the week.
This way we can keep the server feeling fresh and not just playing the same handful of maps every week. It can also help highlight community maps that get overlook.
Right now, the only maps that are eligible are official maps and completed maps on the Steam Workshop. Please provide a link to either the TF2 Official Wiki or the map’s Workshop Page when making your nomination. If we only get five maps or less nominated, we’ll just add them to the server and fill in the empty slots and skip the voting process.
Hey everyone, Just wanted to drop a quick update on the server.
First off, we got a new map rotation. Tonight, we’ll be playing on:
Snowplow
Turbine
Valentine
Steel
Lazarus
Overgrown
I hope y’all are looking forward to some CTF and Payload Race action tonight!
Also made a small adjustment to some settings. Got rid of the 30 minute server timer. Instead, we’ll play a a maximum of two rounds per map. If you want to see your favorite map in the server feel free to drop a suggestion in this thread or send me a DM on the forums or Discord.
Looking forward to the next one!
