    A feature already exists preventing players from leaving a start zone with a speed of about 350+ u/s, unless you mean people can leave the zone then start bhopping?

     

     

    Well, it doesn't seem flawless. There's a trick you can do on some maps (surf_utopia for example) where if you fail intentionally right away and hold space your timer restarts but you rocket out of the zone, the more times you do it well the faster you can get. I assumed since this was possible that trying to bhop to a high speed before leaving it would work as well, haven't tested that method out. 

     

    Now, it's not too bad that it is possible to do that on some maps, however that makes it so that you have to do  the map in an arguably bugged way in order to get a good time on it. I personally don't like it, but hey.

    - Music starts instantly playing through jukebox, spent a good 5 minutes figuring out what the fuk was going on untill i saw a chat poput of the !jb, a popup for the jukebox as soon as you join would be better in my opinion!

     

    Whilst I do agree that the jukebox starting automatically is somewhat obnoxious, if you actually look at it on the top of your screen you do see the command to bring it up where you can stop it, it's not just through the chat.

  3. Shame. You always seemed to play a pivotal part in some (if not most) of  the  behind the scenes work. You also struck me as a decent guy whenever I talked to you. I hope for the sake of a GFL that is all but declining that you come back soon.

    - Bots and times would be able to be fixed easier and on an EU friendly time scale,

    - The manager would have a bigger insight into the EU community and would be able to interact with the server more often,

    - There would be an equal work span for both EU and NA meaning that we could get the same results,

     

    I think the manager is doing an amazing job on the NA side but myself and many others suggest an EU manager also to work alongside the server manager to manage the EU server.

     

    Times can be removed from any server that shares the same ckSurf database, so all live servers including the test servers. Bots are removed from FTP, not from going into the servers. Should leave the current manager a message or post something simple such as "Map record on surf_mesa broken" or "WR Bot for surf_mesa broken on EU tier 1-2" on the topic below and it should be fixed by the end of the day for someone doing an "Awesome" job since it takes like a minute to do the task. Do you really need something like that done quicker? It's not like it's an urgent type of issue.

     

    Having two managers is optimal though, definitely. Having them not be limited to one region is even better. My goal for the servers was to keep the US and EU counterparts identical, which for a period of time worked very well. So, one thing to be noted is that right now an equal work span SHOULD be devoted to both EU and US by the current manager. When doing something for one server you should just do it for every single server, unless it's something to deal with a specific issue on one server of course. I walked him through doing that, so I'm sure he is. 

     

    Bringing in another new manager with no prior experience will be a drag initially. Especially considering Neo himself is rather new. 

     

    The biggest issue with the servers hasn't really been brought up in this thread which is the timer, where do you think all of the people that played on GFL before went? To communities with superior timers. ckSurf cannot compete anymore. Fainted made a lot of good changes to ckSurf to make GFL stick out a bit from the other generic servers, though it's missing two incredibly vital parts: styles and stage records, including a lot of other stuff. Standards are a lot higher now, and the cucks that don't give a shit about quality will just go to servers that allow them to use !ws and shit that GFL doesn't offer. So at this point, GFL ST offers low quality servers with no cuck benefit. No bueno. 

     

    Christ, look at US 1-3. It used to be ranked near or in the top 10 always, now it's drifted way past 1000 on Gametracker. To revive GFL Surf Timer it's going to take more than recruiting new inexperienced managers. And call me pessimistic but I don't see it ever nearly returning to how popular it once was.
