Then even when we rtv'd it the server population never recovered.
    I witnessed this happen. It was the first time I've ever seen the MG server full for a good 30-60 minutes. It started on awp_submarine, then next map was football, that was rtved to swag, then it was bankrobbery. Half the server left within seconds once ppl realized it was a course map.

    Honestly, I don't see the server EVER being full on course maps. Multigame maps, on the other hand, are bringing in the population. If popularity is a priority for the MG server, course maps are only going to hinder any progress. Plus our hardcore course map population pretty much died after CS:S MG died (Hilner, Goldeneye, etc.).

    I say lets cut our losses with this one. If removing course maps isn't the answer, then perhaps we can possibly remove them from randomly showing up on the map voting?

    Im looking at possibly having a vote before the map vote to decide if the server wants to play a course map or a minigames map. If it's not possible or is no ones wants that for whatever reason, I'll talk to Bread about perhaps removing/cutting back on course maps

    Yeah I was on tonight and a course map killed the server, which was sad because it seemed everyone was having fun.

    I like that idea. On top of that, make it so a high percentage of the vote is required in order to change the map to course. This will ensure course maps will still be played by the hardcore players and not when the server is full and only some people want to play courses.

    So the plan is to get rid of courses to fix the population problem? That is a terrible idea mainly because having a population in the first place is what makes people join. If the Server has nobody on it then people are less likely to join, and who wants to be the first in a multigame map...you wouldn't have anything to do. Courses are something you don't need population to play. I find myself being the only one on a course map and most of the time people join. But who would join to 1v1 in multigames, that shit is boring without population. I doubt just Mg maps will boost the average population.

    I mean look at pb..that server fills up with randoms simply because there already was a decent player base..If 4 people get on to hang out it eventually fills up. I feel like the only way to get new Mg players is to organize events and fill it 3/4 of the way ourselves in order to make new people join.

    I know what you mean whimsy but I feel like at this point it would be best to either drastically down scale/completely remove course or do that vote thing like Octa said if it is possible. If we end up going down the route of removing course I want a course server

    Get rid of courses, replace them with escape pedo bear.
    If all of us are the traitors? Well, in that case you may as well kiss your ass goodbye. ^-^

    You make a good point. So, I think it would be best then if there was a vote for course/multigames before map voting in order to avoid having to remove course maps altogether.

    Course maps = Awesome for a few
    Multigame maps = Awesome for many

    Well, I had no idea how to bhop. I have never finished a course map. However, I still want to keep the courses in the rotation because they motivated me to keep challenging. Multigames are fantastic, especially those made my Paul :D. So in my opinion, we should keep both multigames and course maps.
