    Been playing on the Surf Server for a while now and the maps are kinda getting old... Wondering if we could get some more?

    Maps I would like to see added:
    Surf_lt_omnific
    Surf_rookie
    Surf_ember
    Surf_beginner
    Surf_kitsune
    Surf_forbiddenways
    Surf_island

    also adding !rtv would be nice too.
    Thanks! ;)

    Hey cheers for registering :) We get there's a bit of a niche with our Surf server as it's pretty minimal, and gets a fair few players because of it.

    I don't really play Surf myself (as my dismal surf skills will show), perhaps Teddi, Ash and so can advise on if any of these maps would be suitable? Also if Teddi can weigh in on RTV, it looks like atm there's just a vote after 30 mins? Perhaps if there's only a couple of players on and they all get to the end then they can speed up the level change or so?

    I'll look into those other maps, though it'd be handy if @Ashman could as well.

    As for RTV I'm a bit iffy about it. Traditionally people will join the server, surf a map (regardless of difficulty) and because they don't understand mechanics or surf as a whole, they !rtv and cause what is one of the more popular maps to be prematurely terminated.

    If a decent way can be devised then I'm all for adding RTV!

    Okay, three of the maps have been added (rookie, beginner and kitsune)

    I think I'm going to get this "harder" surf server released sooner for maps such as omnific / ember. The problem is if you add maps too hard then it just drives people away. Recommendations for the harder skill-surf would be appreciated.
    surf_island appears to be a speed surf map and I was unable to locate surf_forbiddenways. I was able to find a reloaded edition of the map, but that's for surf-DM, not skill.

    Surf_airflow
    Surf_Forbidden_Tomb
