Blogheads rise up! We're cutting through the malaise of this not-quite-standalone, not-quite-Steam transition period to tell you about the TF2C Mapping Community's new Custom Map Wednesdays.
Custom map servers often fall victim to the tragedy of the commons. When confronted by a vote-list of 80 maps they've never played or seen before, most players will just vote for whatever sounds funniest. Thus, people who are bored of official maps, but also don't want to irradiate their SSD by forcing it to download pl_fartworld_rc2 or arena_hogsucker_b5, have nowhere to go for highbrow novelty.
But no longer. Starting Wednesday, September 17th, AltTAB's custom map servers will be running a locked rotation of 10 maps every week—selected at random from a curated high-quality map pool. If you join the TF2C Mapping Community Discord server, you can select a role that will notify you every Wednesday when the switchover happens, so that you and all the other novelty perverts can hop onto the AltTAB custom map server and try the new batch with a full lobby. If you like the maps, stick around all week and play them to death. If you don't, sit on your hands until the next Wednesday.
Pull out your blog-reader issued BlogPhone® and scan the QR code above (or click here) to join the TF2C Mapping Community Discord and make those arrangements!
