Though its been posted here already, I made some changes to the server recently:
Spawn protection has changed to reflect damage to the attacker instead of (possibly) killing them outright. Players who die due to this (or are already dead) will have a respawn delay. There is more info in the updated 'Changes' section of this website.
Capping the flag will refill your grenades
Repeated suicides ('kill' in console) in a match will result in a respawn delay.
The steam powered event changes all grenades to gas grenades. The Lag/Spamfest event changes all grenades to MIRV grenades.
There is a self-explanatory 'No grenades' event that is currently only manually activated.

The grenade refill upon capping will see a MAJOR increase in offensive capabilities, and will see more evenly contested matches. Good stuff Drippy 👍 | |

Would have preferred you started a D2F pets thread instead but this is cool I guess.
Jk this is awesome. | |

This is just amazing! =)
I'll gladly donate at this time to the server (if needed) or to someone that's in need of it on this forum. ^_^
What does the community need at this time? Any good charities out there? Iggy, anyone? :p
I also see that the refill nades on capping negates the need to 'kill'-bind/console after each cap, for example as a scout - makes sense.
I'll be careful around the spawns a bit more - thankfully I can still concussion nade the main spawn I think? >__< Someone let me know, I super often jump from a spot very close near/next to the main spawn/2nd floor.
Edit: does like Spy Gas damage also get reflected when tossed near a spawn with enemy players? I'll be careful with that too then when playing Spy :D 1 gas pill was allowed :p | |

Gas grenade damage isn't reflected, nor detpack damage.

Drippy, I was on with you earlier and you asked about the nade restock. I went the for the nade bag before capping so I couldn't say for sure. I capped later, not sure if you were still on, and it's working!
Do the gas nades for the steam power do damage and the hallucination effect?
Regarding the fresh spawn mod. So double shotgun a fresh spawn and that does 20 damage I in turn get 20 damage? | |

Was someone suiciding to prevent the enemy from killing them over and over? Anyway, is there an exception baked in if someone suicides to end an infection? | |

nope just a generic you suicide to many times and it keeps going up, i had it up to 25 seconds because i killed my self after being spamed into the water so was better to kill and reset then to press forward half health, server just continues to dictate to anyone with half a brain. plus the spawn protection i had flag almost box room, 2 demos piping from spawn i toss a nade on them and in box and i got slayed twice in my own spawn gg offense. if im on imma just snipe or play d like everyone else keep it simple and 0-0 | |

This is the problem with the new spawn protection, in my opinion. It aids the defenders with their flag top spiral/box room or ramp room by making it so a demoman or SG anywhere on the second floor can take out an offense player who has jumped to battlements with a primed frag/MIRV grenade before they have the chance to throw it—simply because they didn't want to throw it indiscriminately without first seeing what was going on inside—giving them a fair chance of killing a fresh spawn and getting a timeout. It almost incentivizes defenders to encourage spam of their own respawn by playing from there, building SGs at spawn, etc., in order to take strong O players out of the game while their flag is in a vulnerable location. | |

Yeah, I was wondering why I was getting a respawn delay and this explains it. I didn't mind the old setup here so my verdict is still out on this one. | |

Haven't played since the changes (to my knowledge), but I think the spawn considerations might reduce the number of accidental 😉️ mirv drops right in front of spawn exit. And if I wanted to kill a player playing from spawn with an EMP for example, I'd toss it so the outer radius of the EMP overlaps with the exit. That way, I'd minimize my chances of killing a fresh spawn. And if I catch a spawn delay for it, well... I was abandoning the objective by getting revenge on a spawn hugger, so an extra 5, 10 seconds waiting to spawn shouldn't be the end of the world. This post will be here for posterity in case I have to eat my words.
All in all, thanks for the changes Drippy. Eager to test them out. | |

The fresh spawn protection will help against the "you killed me in front of your spawn, so it's your fault my 'conveniently' primed MIRV took out three fresh spawns, lol" type of gameplay i.e. this is great against the constant demoman griefing we've had from Brah, WKBSL, wild karrde, Ghent etc. Another good move from Drippy, helping to preserve the spirit of the server gameplay. | |
