[...] I prefer mannco crate keys as payment.

It's nice people actually post now when everything is decided and set in stone rather than post when we wanted and needed feedback badly from the community from the experimental cups.

I can't believe the admins finally fixed Finland's flag.

[...] would cart progress not showing for about 40% of people playing pl_waste constitute as a massive bug?

[...] I also really enjoy waste, it's just much too soon for the map to be put into something as big as a nations cup as most highlander players have little to no experience with the maps

It's nice people actually post now when everything is decided and set in stone rather than post when we wanted and needed feedback badly from the community from the experimental cups. Only thing that will make us replace a map is a massive bug. As for moving the intel to unreachable places, we can ban things like that rather easily, I don't have any comment about Waste right now. All I can say is I wanted to play Turbine :(

I actually like Waste. :D

It's not too late to replace ctf_converge and pl_waste in the map pool! considering that many national team players are playing HL for the first time, i don't understand the reasoning for putting in maps that aren't even established in HL. i mean, these maps are new to people who only play HL. there won't be any real developed strategies on these maps, so DM will be enough to carry teams through. they are also bad maps, and as such will probably give the 6v6'ers an even worse impression of HL play. converge has a number of bugs and exploits (including being to put the intel in a place where it's unreachable for most classes), and many people have problems displaying the cart's status (even those with the stock vanilla hud) on pl_waste.
