Deathmatch Classic- / Quake-Like DM - If you camp, you're playing it wrong

Deathmatch Classic- / Quake-Like DM
This server is a deathmatch that is meant to be similar to that of Quake. It includes fast-paced gameplay, a stylish-ish arena, killer music and lods of efun.
The Arenas
There are two arenas so far.
qldm1
This arena is a three-level complex with a simple building style and simple textures. It has many ramps and neat geometry that you probably won't look at because you'll be too busy flying through the map at high speeds. The map includes three unique weapons and two types of powerup. It also has teledoors and lava pits.
qldm2
This arena is floating in a void. It has six jumpads and is extra dangerous because it is out in the open.
The Weapons
There are a total of six different weapons in this gamemode. None of them are ones in Quake (except for the railgun) but that's because there are no Quake weapons for Blockland (as far as I know) besides the railgun.
The Crowbar
The crowbar is the only melee weapon in the deathmatch. Rips through Blocko... plastic? quite easily. Its weakness is every other weapon in the gamemode. It is one of the starting weapons.
The Shotgun
Fires six bullets from one. Kills players easily and has the quickest reload out of the non-automatic weapons. It is the other starting weapon.
The Repeater
Fires a stream of bullets at fast speeds. Turns your opponents into Swiss cheese. It is found on all maps.
The Faecpwner
Fires a spray of five explosive shells that can ricochet. Devastating to others but equally devastating to yourself if you're not careful. Has a slow reload time. Also known as the killing-spree-ender. It is found on all maps.
The Railgun
Fires a powerful beam of plasma. Extremely deadly. It is found on all maps.
The Lightning Wheel
Shoots electric beams of lightning at people. Fry your opponents to a crisp with this weapon. It is quite... shocking how effective this weapon is. It is currently only found on qldm2.
Power-Ups
Shield
Protects against damage.
Health
Heals you twenty-five percent.
Other Features
Insult Bot
A bot that picks a random player to insult every thirty seconds to two minutes... he's kind of a cunt.
Might be removed if too many players complain.
Music
A music loop is played upon spawning. You will hear it if you have Download Music checked. It is a song from Quake III Arena. If you do not like it, uncheck Play Music in your options menu.
Health Bar
This server has the health bar mod. It shows how much health you have. If you don't have it, get it.
Tips and Suggestions
Keep moving. Stopping in this gamemode is one of the worst things you can do. Move around as much as you can.
Change your field of vision (fov). 125 is recommended. To do this, open the console and type setFov(125);
Set shaders to minimum. This gamemode is best enjoyed with shaders on minimum. Anything lower or higher than this doesn't look too good.
Rules
Do not camp, especially near the railgun spawn
Do not use aimbots
Do not be a friend

8/10 would consider stopping by.
I don't see the need for the crowbar though. I've never seen anybody use it, and with all the extra weapons and given shotgun - you're just asking to get your ass kicked.

They're fun for spontaneous crowbar fights though :cookieMonster:
If I can get Pandan's lightning wheel, I'll add that to the map and remove the crowbar
