I apologize everyone this had to happen, but the B2B server provider
moved our server to a different machine so we now have a new IP address.
This means you will no longer see the B2B server on your favorite list until you add the new one.

The new IP is 174.142.209.209:7100 and it is in the same location (Montreal, Canada).

We added a few more maps to the B2B server. Depending on how this goes,
we may add more valve maps to the server. Also, we now have 2 separate map lists now. One is

cp_dustbowl
pl_badwater
pl_goldrush
plr_pipeline

and this list will come up for you to vote even if no one nominates them.
The other list,

cp_granary
cp_well
cp_badlands
cp_gravelpit
cp_gorge
cp_egypt
pl_hoodoo
ctf_turbine
ctf_2fort
plr_pipeline

will come up when you type "nominate". If you nominate one of them it will be on the
vote list with the other 4 so you can vote for it.

As you probably know, the maximum number of maps that can be voted at a time is 6.
If people nominate more than 2 maps, though, I am not sure what would happen to the vote list.
If people nominate 4 maps out of the second list for example, I am not sure if they replace two of the
four initial maps or only the two that were nominated first make it to the list with the initial four.

I'd really appreciate if anyone could find it out later if people play on the server.
Also, please let us know if you don't like the time limit, max rounds number, etc.
and we will see if it needs to be adjusted. Thank you very much!  Grin

These are some much-needed changes to the B2B server.
You know I'm not always your biggest fan...but thank you!
I think we have a shot at making both B2B and Smorgy fun and popular servers.

We'll still need to get the word out to our non-forum members.

Maybe a few announcements to the steam group would be in order?
Not too many, of course.

I was actually hoping to see infrequent server announcements in-game, advertising each server to the other one. Maybe 30-minute intervals. For example, a Smorgy announcement saying "You can play classic maps like Dustbowl, Badwater, Goldrush and Pipeline (among others) on our other server, Back 2 Basics at <IP address>."

That would be nice.
As long as it isn't too frequent.

Though having to change IPs initially might have been a bad thing, I'm glad we could work together to turn it into a revamp.

Now it's time for us to do our part: tell everyone you know about the IP change, play on B2B, prime B2B, and have fun.

Ah the IP change is not as bad as I thought.  We at least keep provider and location.

A suggestion:  Is it possible to have the initial vote list randomized so if people foget to nominate for the x number of times they will still have some variety.

The donator plugin and pre-round-chaos plugin aren't enabled either.

Sorry everyone I've been busy. I don't think that is possible unless there is a custom
map plugin that lets you do that but pretty much everyone just uses the default
sourcemod map plugin as far as I know. But I will look into it.

I am not sure why the donator plugin is not working on B2B I will try to fix that ASAP
and pre-round chaos was never enabled on B2B. XD
Did anyone find out what happens to the vost list if more than 2 maps are
nominated by any chance? Cheesy

I did, actually. If more than 2 maps are nominated, they just start overwriting the initial vote maps. First day on new B2B we had all six choices from the nominate list.

Awesome.  Sounds like things are working well.

Is there any interest in adding the pre-round mayhem to B2B?
It doesn't alter gameplay and people seem to really enjoy it.
