The Great Switcheroo

Regardless, it'd be nice to have an extended server somewhere. Pretty sure A4Brogan brought this up in #goonstation or something, but might as well make a thread.

A couple times, I did. Then again I am probably the bitchiest player on here %90 of the time, so the suggestion probably passed through a mute filter.

You're asking for a new server?
While we struggle to populate a single server fully O_o

Nah. The point of the thread is moot now. Explanation:

Extended Mode: Useful for experiments and secret finding due to the lack of antags.
Secret Mode: Fun place to die.

Server 1: Extended Mode
Server 4: Secret Mode

Server 1: Secret Mode
Server 4: Secret Mode

Server 1: Secret Mode
Server 4: Extended Mode

This is wrong, there is no such code that does this.

I swore that an admin said this one back when Cog2 went up, and talking about LLJK1 and no one playing there due to it being extended, it was said to be extended due to lower player pop. Maybe I misinterpreted it, but I remember something like
