Actually, yes. I was planning on having a mini version of a Deathrun as a Minigame. This would give the RED team a choice of a Minigame at the end of it, including some that are only available at the end of the Deathrun that the Death can't choose (Humiliation, Instawin, Knife Fight, etc.).
 
I was also thinking of making the Minigames that Death picks extended versions of themselves. Example: Sweeper would have rounds. The Platforms would get smaller, the Sweeper speeds up, and the general difficulty would increase as the rounds progress. Haven't quite decided on that yet, but it's an idea.

You're probably wondering "Bone, you recently made a thread about Deathrun maps, you Dingus. Why did you make this one?"
 
Well, Lardies and Gestlemen, this one's different.
An idea came to me. On occasion, the Death will give freeruns for a specific Minigame to be played. So I figured "Why not cut out all this superfluous Deadly Power-Walking and just skip to the good stuff?". With that I bring you: A DR map that's only Minigames!
 
...Err, well, not yet anyway. I wanted to get the community's OP-Onion first, since this wouldn't "technically" be a Deathrun map, but could still be pretty dang fun.
 
The basic idea is: Death is in a control room. He has roughly 30 seconds to hit a button to choose a Minigame before suddenly exploding (to save RED from AFKs). Once a button is hit, all players are teleported to the corresponding Minigame assigned to that button.
 
The amount Minigames could constantly increase as further iterations of the map are developed upon the community's request. However, the first few ideas are: Sweeper, Obstacle Course, Conveyor Belt Obstacle Course (which I'm told is called "Steady Pace"), a Crush Game, and a Mini Deathrun (you know, since people join the server for it...).
 
So leave your thoughts/ideas on Minigames here, and if you're a regular DR player, vote on the poll.

+1 thats about 29 years in dog year, yeah should get another chance

I'm sorry dear sir Napolean, next time I see someone trying to DDos our servers, I'll ask them what their favorite color is, whether they like mustard or not, whether they are a cat person or a dog person.
 
And since this is 'still' a member application thread, seems like I made a mistake judging you too soon, changing my vote to -1

So the Internet company decided to replace my cables for better connectivity, "it will be up and running in two days max " they said, but apparently it's gonna take a bit longer, so I'll be back when it gets fixed, cya ❤️

Teambanned two people on jailbreak yesterday, for "micspamming and using voice changer", then Tatost and Bagel joined the server, and we figured out we're all chipmunks :D

Why should we take it to a steam chat? He literally abused in front of us. It was much simpler to just confront him on the server in front of other witnesses.

Not too much I can say that hasn't already been said, so I'll just do what I usually do and inject a little optimism; let's hope for the best and that this little wake up call hopefully gets things moving in the right direction.

Seriously guys, these actions are the reasons some of our servers die or start dying. No one wants to play on a server with staff who think they are all high and mighty over everyone and can do whatever the hell they want just because they are staff. It is immature and rather disgusting behavior.

As far as actual non meme suggestions, I think we should revert some of the anti rebel changes on jailbreak. Unban the skullcutter for starts. People have a weird emotional connection to it and it's not like it's actually OP despite it being a direct upgrade. I would also suggest thinking about removing or changing lct. I know that rebelling can kill the server at times but in the past a large part of the active regulars consisted of people who almost exclusively rebelled and jb is undoubtedly less popular now. I don't know if this would actually help or harm and jb isn't totally dead but I feel like we should try it.

I have an idea that could potentially help, and would make the majority of players happy, though it would take more work than slapping a .smx file and a map rotation onto a server.
 
We could always code an xG specific gamemode. This way we could have 100% control of what happens in the server.
Or if that seems like too much work, we could make a special xG map. If it were to act like our trade servers, just give the map a ton of things to keep players occupied other than spawn camping and trading.
 
I mean, we've recycled a TON of different maps and gamemodes but people will find a way to find exploits, or annoying glitches in 'em, or just generally get bored and stop playing. If we had something that's 100% custom, it could even replace multiple servers at once.
Think about it: a map built with a mini Deathrun game built in (can even be 100% automated if done correctly), a large area for people to dick around in like the trade servers, special areas for events to take place, hell you could even use it as an excuse to test new scripts and plugins. This way if we give players enough choices with a single map, then it should practically populate itself.
 
Now I may not have too much map making/coding experience, but this is a good excuse for me to learn. Plus, it could always be a team project. It would get done faster and incorporate more ideas into the map.
I just think it'd be a neat experience to have the community come together to make something that could be pretty good.
 
TL;DR: Let's make an xG custom, multi-purpose map, ya dinguses!

To be honest we shouldn't be talking about populated servers here, they are populated because of how crappy you think they are and how cancerous you find them to be at times
, don't try to change that, otherwise you'll end up with a pretty dead server, vsh is the concrete exemple of that, the server was populated 24/7, some good choices were made to improve the server and it turns out they were bad for the population, and killed the server, also, we all have to admit that some servers were alive because of some specific regulars, members or staff, vsh was populated thanks to Bone and Hina, jb1 was populated too, I even remember there was a time when I couldn't join the server because it was full, and jb1 was alive thanks to some people, and died because of some others, (not gonna mention names, to avoid creating tension, but we all know what happened there), also one other thing;
Staff should learn to be friendly, help others, share knowledge and communicate more, especially with other staff member.
