Ok, just got a moment to talk to Frank, and heres what we concluded:

What makes the Bash events and such popular as such, is because they only happen once a year, and they run for say a week or so.

So to make it so people should hopefully come in the Xmas server and make it have a fair few players were make it only last a week or so. So where thinking the 20th, till the 28th, as that covers just before xmas and after xmas.

Level wise, we should have CTF and Battle and perhaps switch them every now and again. Hopefully that should also give level creators a chance, we could also use some old classics as well, although some new ones in the mix would be great.

If someones interested (like Blackraptor did for the bash), of selecting and preparing levels, we would be greatful.

Version wise i think its best suited as 1.23, as TSF users can join it as well with a patch.

So there we go, thats a start
