If nobody has a problem with it, I'm going to set mp_forceautoteam to 1. I think this means that players will join a random team upon entering the server so people can't spectate the whole time, and team stacking will be a less prevalent thing.

So how about them teamstackers late last night on Steel? Wasn't that fun? I just love kicking people for precisely this:

Player 4 has joined team Spectator.
Teams uneven.
Player 6 has been autobalanced to team BLU.
Player 4 has joined team RED.
Admin has kicked Player 4 for being a douche.

Mac people are killing Valve's download server. MKWEA hasn't updated yet.

Curse those mac people!
(Please note, I am not cursing people who work at McDonalds, they have my pity) (Also I am not cursing the Scottish, they are a fine people who I am led to believe are highly proficient with explosives)

Oh, the server was fully updated at around 5:30. I was just so excited I forgot to post. Whoops.
