Can we add crummycradle to the server?

Great map 10/10, fun to make bread out of bodies, please vote yes and let's get this godly map on the server.

This would probably be better off in the map suggestions section, but Crummycradle is one of the few maps we're going to have to say no to. "Rooftop" style maps always have to contend with a number of gameplay issues that devolve the gameplay experience into deathmatching.

The floating platforms in the sky gimmick makes identifying bodies incredibly difficult/time consuming if a traitor simply tosses them over the railings. The huge open nature of the map also pigeon-holes traitors into using scouts in order to be properly effective, and leaves little room for deceit and stealth beyond that.

That's not to mention the bread machine which, while humourous, just results in innocents messing around and inadvertently helping traitors.

As much as I may appreciate the nostalgia that comes with the map, it doesn't really (and arguably never did) stand the test of time.

Can you at least put it on the server but not on the nominate/vote list so we can play it once and a while

We could possibly have "shitty map sundays" or something for it sure

This was one of my favorite classic maps. I added it to CS TTT when I managed and it would bomb pop from 24 to 12 lol

It's nice for a nostalgic moment, but is pretty underutilized by most players. Maybe different player bases make this map better, but nobody ever went to the ground level, despite having the water + the jump off at spawn that's not hard to hit for experienced players. Most people just camp bread room then get bored after a couple rounds of spamming it. Could just be me but I don't think this was ever good lol

Sounds like a good idea, just like an hour or two long event every Sunday.

On CS, a lot of people did end up taking the ladders or water down but maybe an easier and more efficient way up would make the map more bearable

I don't know, it may still cause delays despite easier access so meh
