Should dville be removed?

This is not just because of the ass whooping we just received by Droogs. We also delivered and ass whooping the night before to another clan on dville.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to agree that the map is way too one sided. Take a look at these scores and see for yourself.
First round -=BD=- over Droogs on red, 2 to 1.
Second round Droogs over -=BD=- on red, 19 to 2.
Third round Droogs over -=BD=- on red, 13 to 1.

If that map were even, we should have been beaten severly in the first round also.

The scores in the match we played last night were similar, only we weren't on the receiving side. You could say the same about Sanc. I love that map, but it is also very one sided.

well, i didnt think the map was as bad during the first round cause we knew it was slightly lopsided towards red. SO we just tried to keep you guys close, maybe even steal a 2-1 win from blue ourselves.
So we were a lil nervous takin the red side. but once we were up 7-0 after 7 minute mark we were about ready to just ask if we could stop.

Fact is red side is WAY 2 easy to defend, and blue side is next to impossible to defend. So all out rush from blue wont do shit because of the easy defence from red. Defence strat dont work cause ya still need guys to overpower Reds defence (and defence is 2 tight on blue side) so your fuxored either way.


Bad map, be gone with it.
However, cakes as to not be a complete whiney pussy about the maps your respawn was perfect
IMO a bigger factor than defensibility of one side or the other is that the spawns are bad, blue especially, and it takes blue longer to get their guys into the fight. There is one spawn on blue that is just comically bad, you spawn upstairs in a room with windows you can't jump out of, and you have to go down a badly constructed stairway to a door that exits onto the ass-end of the map. Yay.

I don't have any bitterness about our match last night, It was great fun and I think everyone knew it could have gone either way, right down to the wire. I really do wish we had played it on a different map. This is one map where you really have to wonder why they didn't just make it symmetrical, since it wouldn't have damaged the "theme" any.
We had some similar scores in g6 versus \VeX\.
First map g6 red, 14-3
Sec map \VeX\ red, 10-4
Third map g6 red, 13-1

It looks like others shared the same experiences. I'd be interested to hear if any blue sides won a round.

Fayth (a.k.a. g6|Fayth|fr)
yeah, cA won both their rounds....

edit:
13 to 6 first round cA was blue
17 to 2 second round cA was red

Dville will probably not be in the next TWL CTF season. I'd like to add some of the new maps for next time.
