I'm only coming to watch games and meet people so I took 2 visitor passes, that means I need a friend with BYOC so staff can let me have a LAN guest badge.
I could ask DavidTheWin or Getawhale but I'm gonna assume they'll be busy working.
Am I the only one in this situation?

I'll be in the Ibis Budget The Redlands Guesthouse with mrjelly

Hey, do you need a BYOC ticket to access LAN area? I was hoping to just get visitor passes

Thanks Slin!

Is there any reason why the player count and map aren't showing up?

EDIT: Maybe Enigma's code is expecting the port to be present to check? It's 27015 for both.
Also, EU is showing up for NA, AUZ and ASIA :)

Server issues should be fixed, very sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for reminding me, nurfu, I did it.

My plan was to grow badwater.pub with its name, add some non-interfering features (chat bans, server stats (not player stats because that makes people try too hard for stats), some monitoring stuff for me) , and maybe try reproducing more than just badwater, say upward, or complete payload servers.
I would do it if the servers were populated more than anything. Right now, the only funding thing that bothers me is the price of the NA server compared to the EU server, the latter one is absolutely cheap and high quality, I'm not sure I'll be able to ever find anything similar in NA.
I'm really glad you'd be down to help me financially, but considering this project is very (very) young, I'm gonna hold off on accepting donations, I don't want to feel pressured to provide, etc. The thought is very much appreciated, though.

Hello,

I've already posted and announced in the Projects forum, I'll let you read the OP, if you don't:
badwater.pub is a small project aiming to provide a pre-MYM valve pub experience on badwater.

The EU server is hosted by online.net in Paris, available at: connect badwater.pub
The NA server is hosted by digitalocean.com in NYC1, available at: connect na.badwater.pub

Thanks!

I posted whenever I opened the euro one, it didn't get much traction, I'm gonna wait a little more to announce the NA one

EDIT: it just isnt getting traction on reddot :( EU server's almost full tho!

Hey, I just set up a server in NYC!

Use the appropriate flag on http://badwater.pub , or just type this in console:

connect na.badwater.pub

Thanks :)

Hello again,

Thank you again adysky, mario, unskilled and everybody else for playing tonight, that was great indeed :)
Thanks Blithe and yttrium for the info/offer, I'll probably check those out if the other solutions I found aren't as good as I thought.

I too hope this gets populated, and if it does regularly, I will definitely run more servers with more options, payload/upward/goldrush are requests that have come up often so far.
EDIT: Actually, if the servers are doing great this weekend as well, I'll set up upward.pub :)

@vibhavp: gtld are great

I found the server to be iffy with 24 players online (cpu load was ~1.10 for an hour and a half), and sadly this is probably the best they could offer (they offer more cores, but of the same type of CPU, tf2 server is single-threadded). I'm considering limiting to 22 or 20 players so that the server never feels iffy to anybody, ever. Thoughts?

EDIT 2: sorry, whoever tried to bruteforce my ssh :/
root:~# grep "Password" /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitEmptyPasswords no
PasswordAuthentication no

Hello,

Meet Your Match has greatly changed the TF2 ecosystem, one of those changes personally affected me.
My biggest interaction with the game, when not playing competitively, was playing Valve public servers, mostly on pl_badwater.
Sadly, those servers were removed to make place for the great Casual+Competitive systems.
That's why I'm trying to bring this experience back by launching a small and simple project:

badwater.pub is a Vanilla Team Fortress 2 Public Community Server, running 24/7 Badwater, with nocrits, nospread, fixedspread, no restrict_aspect_ratio_fov, user votes include kick, scramble and classlimit 3.

The IPs are eu.badwater.pub and na.badwater.pub.

I will be as available and transparent as I can, feel free to heckle.
Oh, and of course, no ads/donations ;)

Wow, Check it out!

Are you looking for a web developer or a web designer?

Basically, I could pretty much set up an app that could run the website and it's components, and the contents of the pages, but I have no skill in the matter of designing pages, etc.

I potentially could do the job you need, but I'll need somebody to draw things a pretty way.

Feel free to contact me.

That's called bbLean, by the way.

Am I the only one that find most of the female characters are bringing way more stupid QQ drama than ever needed? I skipped most of the conversations involving Skyler because of the cringe it induced me.
