    Here is my rant on the Gum Obstacle course that has been played a lot the past couple of days and why it should be removed from the nomination list.

    I don't post on the hell clan forums but I thought after the recent rise in popularity of the MG server, I think there needs to be some sort of change to prevent players leaving again.

    The problem:

    After a long and mentally frustrating 2 hours of trying to complete this shitty cesspool of a map with the dumbest fucking obstacles just to piss you off, I think that it needs to be removed from the current list of map nominations. With the recent popularity of trying to complete this map, the server will most likely suffer with very low population problems once again. The 100 traps map has the exact same issue and drove a lot of people away last year and because the map doesn't change until it is either rtv'd or a votemap decision has taken place. The MG server becomes the server for that specific map and has no chance for other maps to be played.

    The solution:

    I think there is an easy solution to this problem, make this an event map just like serpentis temple, that way the map doesn't bore people all the time and people will want to compete in trying to complete this map in one session.

    QUICK EDIT:

    I forgot to mention the extreme difficulty for casual and newer players who will just leave after the first two levels at best.

    (I was told maybe this post is a little aggressive, im sorry, im still recovering from yesterday playing this map)

    To be honest I like the idea and I agree with it. We have been doing this map the past 3 days now and it's getting boring. Don't get me wrong it's a good map but i think it should be an event map just like serpentis temple because it takes so much time to complete it.

    Do not even need to read this post to agree with Camwil. The map is pure stage 4 cancer. I saw Andrew no-life that shit for 12 hours straight and suggested some nice Swedish bridges he could consider jumping from. Please eradicate this map from the server in order to ensure healthy mental states all across the board. Thank you.

    Maybe it's worth putting it off map nomination list and needing an admin to put the map on since it does seem to be excessively played.

    In the last day, it has been played around half the server time, which I find silly.

    The map is being excessively played because its a new map for the server and some players cant do it in 3 or 4 tries that's the reason why its being played all the time. Players that are not that good at the game and need to play it way more to successfully beat the map. The more the map gets played the faster players can finish it and it wont be on for hours at a time.
    In my opinion the map should be left as it is and with time players will get better and wont play the map all day long.

    @spoon your take on this as it was suggested by you?

    The map isn't an event map like serpentis though. But I agree only some elite few can finish it but it depends if players like playing it nonetheless.

    Def think it should be made event only. The map is obviously not event-type like serpentis but it's such a time sink for most players that it essentially becomes similar anyway. People who actually want to play it to complete it could just practice offline and, when an event for it is on, do it on the server then. I think the reality is if you cant even get halfway in 3 hours then you're not gonna complete it at all, and that's just a massive waste of time for everyone involved.

    People who might want to play mg, but not that map, wont join the server because they have no chance of rtv'ing on their own. To me, keeping it on seems like a sure fire way to depopulate the server again once people become apathetic about it.

    p.s. it's trash anyway and the difficulty is entirely contrived due to how badly it's made

    Could we make a separate server for event/time-consuming maps for MG related maps?

    Stop talking about event this event that, bitch no one likes this map and anyone who says they do, they have seen one too many animes and want to be edgy MC's. Eradicate that shit already, I swear I open CSS, join, see that map, type "quit" in console so quick. I add 1 slit on my wrist like a tally chart for each time I see this map until I die. Get. It. Out. Make HeLL great again!

    Also, imo remove the map, add event courses like serpentis and gumobstacle that way people still get to try for wr with plenty of time but its not played every day : )

    This is quite misleading... 8 hours on server... not necessarily the map.
