Minor question: If I end up with 220+ ping does it affect just me or everyone else as well? I spectated a game and no one is above 100 ping, so I didn't join in to avoid messing up the game.

It usually affects just you. We regularly have more than one person with ping over 100 (around 150) and the server is OK. It's when more than 2-3 people with ping over 270 join that it starts getting bad for others in my experience. So join ahead! :D

I'd donate... if I had a better ping.
I'd donate... if I could get more than 5 people in a game so my uberskillz could get tracked.

Crappy timezone differences Weccy, that's why you find the server always empty. We don't tend to play at 3AM local time :D

Invited
We've also added 4 new maps to the line-up:
(1) ctf_mach4 - a small and fast capture the intelligence map that works great when there are a few people on the server.
(2) cp_science - a nice 5 cp map (think cp_well) only more fast paced; the map is symmetrical and has closed spaces as well as outdoor areas and suits all styles of gameplay. If you get lost just follow the flashing arrows.
(3) cp_redstone_b2 - not much to say about it; looks good and plays nice depending on the teams. Can also turn into a sniper fest unfortunately.
(4) cp_gydan - a small, fast and chaotic 4 point attack and defend map set in the alpine setting which caters to close-quarters combat; is fun and doesn't go into stalemate often.

Added 2 more payload maps, a control point one and a nice territorial control one:
[1] 2tpl_mine_alpine
[2] cp_glacier_rc2
[3] pl_arms_race
[4] tc_meridian_rc2

We'll work on getting more US people on to play a bit later.

Yeah, I'm in Ontario on a terrible Internet connection and my ping is usually ~175 - barely worse than on local servers!
BTW, I'm willing to commit an initial $20 then $10 monthly toward a North American server (providing said server is in such a geographical location as is reasonable for me to play on).

Will look into what options are available and get back to you; a US server would be nice to have.
You can now join our Mumble server while being in-game; to do so you first need to have the Mumble client installed (version 1.2.0 minimum) and HTML MOTD enabled. If these prerequisites are fulfilled you just need to type !mumble in chat and you'll be automagically connected to our server.

Tuesday game tonight starting from 21:00 GMT. Event is scheduled so you'll be notified when it starts.

Isn't today Wednesday? I'm confused.

I thought so, but never mind. Let's play it everyday :)

It's Wednesday, I am just sleep deprived :)
That would be ideal; every day starting from 21:00 GMT hop on the server

Haha, well you should sleep! Sleep is good. If I don't bring down the game with lag, I may join for a bit later.
