I am posting for not only myself, but a few other people. Recently the Office Server has been lagging unbelievably often. It cannot be a player issue since most players are kicked (by people who think anyone with 150+ Ping is laggy) and most of the time the lag spikes are felt by everyone, not just one person.

I would suggest a server restart, but that may not work if it's an internet connection issue. But then again, the server has been up for days without a restart so that could be a problem.

This lag problem has been ongoing for nearly 2 days now, and people are becoming frustrated. Already the server population seemed to drop by 25% due to the lag spikes.

Thank you for reading,
Mik Pleld

there should be admins on the server
i've yet to see one

The lag has been getting progressively worse, and this is now the 3 day mark of epic laggings. Please just join the server just to see what we are all crying about .

Anyways server restart or something with the internet needs to be done. Hopefully this will go to the higher-ups.

In the meantime, you probably shouldn't encourage people to leave our server and go to yours.

Well I am sorry for advertising but the times I did were very appropriate. People were leaving as soon as they joined because of the lag spikes every 10 seconds so I was offering them an alternative friendly server that was a temporary hang out zone for a few people that wanted to play a fun office game.

I understand that this is no excuse to advertising (I would strike down advertisers mercilessly) but to be honest I have been playing Lotus Servers 3-4 hours a night, every night, and even more during the weekends. There is no doubt to my loyalty and persistence in playing the Lotus CS:S Server.

Once again, I would like to prove my loyalty if you don't think 3-4 hours a night is enough.

I have been helping people voteban the right people when necessary (Such as racists, spammers, and hackers). I have also been lecturing new players how to play CS:S better by telling them a few tips and tricks (such as spraying with rifles = bad).

Lastly I would like to say that I have been doing the opposite of advertising now that Lotus Servers are fixed. I have been telling people to come back later and making nice little talks with them.

Anyways if this affects my chances for admin at all, please tell me (Since I want to be aware of my chances. I have been checking forums 3 times a day hoping I receive a reply to my admin application) so I can make up for my mistakes, after all everybody makes mistakes and the advertising mistake was a stupid one.

With Best Regards and Apologies,
Mik Pleld

i just looked at the office server stats and it appears to be rising.

The server should now be auto restarting after a few days uptime.

Also, voteban now works right away and votescramble also works.

It's started lagging again, play numbers are stupidly high: 13468 : Perhaps it isn't restarting or make it restart a bit more often?

Much Love.

Go Valve and their memory leaks!

Anyway, the auto restarter is thinking that bots are real players. This will need to be adjusted.

I have been playing the office server, and the rank on the server has been jumping randomly. Could you please look into it. I went from rank 300 to rank 3 in about half an hour. this doesn't make scene.
