Really got back into the game last night with the new patch and I love the changes so much I thought I'd do a fresh start with a new server. After all the arguments and back and forths over server sizes and setups and what's best for who I decided to strike a complete compromise from my old server and the more hardcore faithful of the game and go with an 18 slot server with a new host.
Now, bear in mind with this server that I plan to develop the same kind of community that Mavick's Pub initially started out with: a community of helpful individuals who are skilled yet willing to develop new players and bring them into the larger community. And in so doing I'm not saying Mavick's Pub is a failure, I just recognize it has evolved it's own community over time and with Vission footing the bill and selecting admins I'm going to step back and let him run it his way. Of course I'll always be on hand for them in case and I still view that server as a child of my own in a sense.
But on to the new one, like I said, it's a 18 slot and I'm very adamant in encouraging new players to develop their skills here. I'm going to be very active and watchful on team balancing and ensuring people aren't coming on there to stomp new players for their own kicks. If you're a solid player with a good attitude, I'll always be looking for other admins to help out as well. I'm going back to being highly selective in this (several months before I added a single admin on Mavick's Pub, for example). So keep an eye out for it if you're interested in helping out the community. I'll also be starting up a new steam group with links to this site as well as others such as gameplay videos made by community members, etc.
Server name is: Honeybadger's Den
IP: 74.63.228.252:23000
EDIT: Steam group for the server is http://steamcommunity.com/groups/honeybadgersdenNS2/
Hope to see many of you there!
Edit2: Changed to reflect it's now live status of 18 player!

But if you really wanted to test that prior argument out, you should try with 16-18 playercount. I find 20 to be almost the same as 24, personally.
I'll be interested in seeing a team sort via KDA though, not sure how that will work out
Look at that quick response to feedback! Nice, and thanks. See you in game
