I think tonight's testing was generally a success. Unfortunately we couldn't get the latest build of Origin to run, but we'll catch up and do that next week. I've gotten some useful feedback on Caged myself, so I'm pretty pleased, and I hope everyone else feels the same way about their own maps.
Unfortunately (being on the east coast of Australia), I wasn't able to make it to this testing session. Could some people who played PM me some feedback on ns2_drydosity?

It was fun playing ns2_caged in combat mode just now, and then being part of a rare marine victory. (Yeah, yeah, Shade hive first, I know.) I'm glad we got to test a new map, Loki's ns2_kodiak, as well.
Perhaps next week we can try some specific area tests in maps, like was mentioned during the test today. If we're testing your map, and there are specific areas you feel need testing, be sure to let us know and we can arrange some localized carnage.
Was a good turn out today. 18 player server full of NS2 mappers! we might have to increase the player count if that happens often.
focus testing areas and scenarios is a good idea. People need to post what specifically then want to test in here so we can arrange that. Focus testing the loltrain was very insightful!
choo! choo!
8pm gmt every Sunday! Try turn up on the mumble server a few minutes early to guarantee a slot. Also PM or post any playtest requests here so I can make sure everything is up and running on the server!
I'd also like to remind everyone to REQUEST that we play your map, I'm not a mind reader and I've noticed a few maps have fell out of circulation. I apologies for any oversights or maps we've neglected to play the last few weeks (I've noticed a few). All authors are responsible for requesting that there map is played. Even if you cant make the meeting, we'll still supply the feedback regardless of what state the map is in!

If you combat is updated by tomorrow and you guys want to test combat maps I have 2 that could use some play testing. Skylight is detailed & attempts to be serious, while spacejump should be good silly fun. I'll try to attend regardless of if combat is on the menu or updated.
nice jambi and the two combat maps on the list. We usually do the combat stuff after the vanilla stuff, followed by any comedy maps. So we've got three on the list so far. submit your latest stuff to workshop and I'll get it on the server.
Kalopsia: I can try set mouse and remedy up with admin rights on my uk server, but the lag might be a bit too much! You guys down-under should get together and buy a server to test your work on!
Right testing starting in 30 minutes... you know the drill a*seholes and elbows!... well mostly just a*seholes but Nm.
Jump on mumble when ready.
Today's playlist is:
Origin
Jambi
kodiak
Goliath
kleos (not requested but we haven't played this yet)
combat mode:
Skylights
Spacejump
NS2 game server: 85.236.100.67:27015
Mumble server: 85.236.100.59:12437
Well if we could find Nothing, where ever it vanished to that could be fun. Or maybe one of the maps we haven't managed to play yet, such as Kleos, Yamal etc. That is assuming we don't get other requests before or during the session.
The playtests take place every Sunday at 20.00 GMT on the Fail Master server. PM Howser and he'll get you sorted. Though we may need to increase the server size or hold a second session at the rate they are growing in popularity!

I've tried to make the last couple but am totally unaware of when it starts.

Mouse if you ever need local playtesters for ns2_drydosity just give me a shout.
