I'm pleased to announce that the map rotation for the server has been officially altered, for those of you who haven't been around this week, I have removed cp_granary from the official rotation and replaced it with cp_labor. Granary overall was the least liked map and would usually empty the server out after one team steam rolled the other a few times. Labor is better balanced and gives the team more of a fighting chance.
I also believe I have figured out the problem with map voting, some of you may have noticed that the system works when it feels like it wants to, and this is because sometimes the next map indicated by SourceMod overrides the one chosen by BAT, over the next two weeks I'm going to begin to migrate to SourceMod and remove BAT all together.
The following maps have been added to the server, I have not yet updated the overall map pack, but you can snag all of these via the links below.
cp_grandcanyon - hot off the press and receiving very high reviews, looks beautiful
cp_castle - Requested by users in a previous post, also received high reviews.
cp_toyfort - 'Rats' style map and Ive always liked those :)
ctf_mach2 - Requested by users, also highly rated on fpsbanana.
melee_ringking - Looks like it could be some fun, some forced melee in a ring, pretty straight foreward.
cp_destructoid_b1 - I snagged it because of the name, it looks well made to boot.
Same deal as usual, server locked at 8pm cst, see you all there!

As usual no can do for me tonight. I'll try to be on on Tuesday.
Stock maps have run their course in terms of replay value, especially Granary, which had horrendous balance issues right from the start. Anyways, I've yet to see you at FNF or TF Tuesday to even evaluate maps that are ten times more enjoyable then stock maps.
As usual I'll probably be on if I can tear myself away from the game that massively effected my game of choice at the moment.
I'll try again and see you in FNF.
