I went on the server in the first time in awhile to enjoy some good old TTT to find that one round later I was no longer playing TTT. Derp-Mode had quickly been activated and everyone was walking around as an Antlion, maybe it might be amusing for about five seconds, however any humo(u)r derived from that is fleeting. Seems nobody else was fond of it at the time of my joining either as it just makes the game mode stupid and for some unplayable. The only "Special" round that got any positive feedback was Detectives V.S. Traitors, which in my opinion is also stupid as I joined the server to play TTT not Team Death Match.

Simply put, these "Special" rounds are probably ousting more players than anything and are overall incredibly annoying.

I have to disagree with you honor however I like your input.

Your main argument here is you joined the Server to play TTT, not some "stupid" and random games. There are 5 normal rounds of TTT while the last round, the 6th, is the "Special Round". And while the Traitor versus detective round seems to be the only special round that disrupts the game of TTT due to the fact that the round becomes a shoot the other team objective, all other special rounds do not disrupt the game-play of TTT. I'm talking about the fact that the players must still obey the concept of TTT and play TTT on those special rounds. And while I respect your opinion when you stated "Simply put, these "Special" rounds are probably ousting more players than anything" I must disagree with you and say you are wrong. I personally have not seen any sort of drop in the playerbase and as I even type this the server is full.

While I disagree that we should get rid of the special rounds, I do however think it needs a lot more work and updating on it. Now, I am simply throwing out various ideas but I think it would improve the situation of the special rounds. For one, I think either on the end of the 5th round or the very very beginning of the 6th round, there should be a noticeable announcement somewhere that tells the server the special round is about to begin. With this; it would give a brief detail of what special rounds are and the fact that the game of TTT is still valid and must be played. With this, all new and even old players will now know that the special round is starting and hell, even throw like a 5 second countdown or something fancy.

Another update to these special rounds is just the over-all "special rounds". I think personally that the special round that turns people into random objects needs to be reviewed as some models are just really crazy and unnecessary; for example, a giant statue of a horse that's almost 20 feet tall. Random objects like this should be removed. I think the models should be player models specifically so it does not interrupt with the TTT player model hitboxes however still have a fun effect as you have a chance of becoming a fun player model.

While traitor and detective seems to be the most popular, as Honorordeath has stated, it does destroy the concept of TTT. So on this one I'm on both sides. I love this special round however I view your stand point honor as valid.

Other special rounds such as the round where everyone gets a potential real or fake golden gun needs to be revised also as I have seen numerous times players start shooting at other players which leads to RDM.

This is all I have for now however I do have ideas for new suggestions for the special rounds however this is not the right topic.

Thank you for your time.

I think the special rounds add some much needed spice to the end of maps. I won't argue with you but I know everytime iv played on the server and had s special round no ones done anything other then enjoy them selves. Sorry for spelling errors typing phone from work lol

I would like if the server actually got to vote if the round happens or not, and if 80%ish wanted it then it would happen.

The one I have a main issue with is most definitely the random object one, as ISEEYOU2 has posted above it makes the round feel almost unplayable. You can't really have a interesting or exciting game of TTT when everyone is a giant antlion or another prop that just messes with your entire concept of hitboxes and makes it less of a game about skill or deduction and more of "Who is lucky enough to shoot the hitbox hidden in the mass of character model."

Also @n00bl3t; to clarify my statement I made, which is the main point of this further message. The driving force behind my "this is probably ousting more players than anything" comment was not meant to be, and was not, directly saying it has already taken a chunk out of the player base. Rather to show that in my opinion this is in no way possibly helping the server gain a player-base. So if it's not helping, and a majority of players find some of the rounds annoying, it is only harming the server to keep these rounds in place.

I like the Special rounds brings enjoyment to the server i guess i can see why the random prop thing can break up the hitboxs but i still get the kill.

As mentioned; the round object round simply needs to be a round player model instead of objects to eliminate those problems. If using correct player models, you would have the proper player animations and hitboxes and all; and there are plenty of fun and exciting player models out there; whether they be custom ones which players would have to download or if you don't want to add additional download files, default GMOD ones.

Also, oblivator really does have the best solution to this. Have it so after the 5th round in those 20 seconds of round end; have a quick menu box pop up for the server to vote. I think getting rid of this special round is not the best solution as it does bring something unique. Very few servers have this and the ones that do have this has no problems with their population leaving.

The Special Rounds is one of the reasons why I stopped enjoying my time on the server and led to me stepping down as Admin.

The D vs T round is super fun but all the other ones are only fun the first time and then after that just start to get annoying. Again, these rounds are based purely off of preference in game style but when I get on TTT I want to play TTT not good luck trying to kill anyone since everyone is a huge boat or everyone just shoot each other with golden guns/kill themselves.
