In the n00bstories Server, that is. Saturday is designated "Speedy Saturday" when each map is played for 5 minutes. I'm not sure how this will go or how it will be received, but I think it might be fun. Different strategies when you only have 5 minutes to win.
The rest of the themes are as follows:
Monday: Mod Map Monday
Tuesday: Normal play for now
Wednesday: Wealthy Wednesday (750 starting creds instead of 250)
Thursday: Timeless Thursday (no time limit on maps)
Friday: Friendly Fire Free-For-All Friday
Saturday: Speedy Saturday (5 mins/map)
There are plenty of normal all-out war servers out there. I wanted to create something new and different. It's not all new, actually Blazer did Friendly Fire Friday and Mod Map Mondays on his server way back in the day. This is just taking it to the extreme.
I'm still looking for something to do on Tuesdays that fits in the theme.
Thoughts, comments?
I'm the bawss.

I got a better idea: Pistols only on tuesday. We all run around killing each other and sit for a few hours pistoling an MCT dead while one weak engineer heals from outside laughing his ass off.
FUN FUN FUN!!!!

I have a better idea, keep most of the week standard, so it isn't full of gimmicks...
I always hated gimmicks in servers. Most of it isn't fun, like Saturday, the levels ended in five minutes... There was no time to do anything fun except shoot at the Harvester for points and see who got the most at the end, on each level...
A better idea would be to start running fan levels full time mixed in with standard levels, so the game's longevity isn't based on five minute rushing, or sniping only...

I wasn't there, but can see that five minutes won't do much, expecially on maps with base defenses. The other variations look good to me; it adds variation to the gameplay, therefor prolonging Renegade's lifetime 
I dislike the idea of fan maps mixed with regular maps; I often search for fan maps being played, and then end up in a game on a fan map that ends in a minute, after which a map like Volcano starts...I'd rather have fan maps only in a server's rotation.

"I'm not sure how this will go or how it will be received, but I think it might be fun. Different strategies when you only have 5 minutes to win."
My server was dead all day. LOL
OK, so that didn't work. It was worth a shot. I don't have enough of a moderator base (because Blazer is still working on getting BRenBot working on the new server) so I skipped sniping on Sunday. I'm also skipping Mod Map Monday because I haven't had a chance to evaluate maps.
So... Wednesday. Should I do 99999 creds or just something a little richer like 1000?
I'm the bawss.
