[M] has let me know that the bots on his Luschen Botmatch server are being tweaked and upgraded to make them better opposition. The updating is ongoing at this point.
You can check them out by jumping into the Luschen Botmatch server.
I have collaborated with Killa to make a Capture the Flag version of his Team Commotion map.
It's exactly the same map excpet that the flags replace the safe bags and the money drop is removed.
CTF Commotion is a small map where the setting is a mirrored version of the main stairs area of the Central Towers map. All weapons featured except the grenade launcher.
You can download CTF Commotion beta from here.
While testing out a new map by AB|Jones based on a Foosball table we started discussing other sports themed maps.
One that came to mind is KP Soccer. I checked the zipfile here and it was set up pretty badly. I have now updated the zip so you only need to extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and added a levelshot.
KP Soccer(kpsocker.bsp) is a map made by Intruder way back in 1999 and is set on a soccer field.
Btw if you spawn in the goal you seem to get stuck so just crouch and you will be ok :)
[M] has added it to the rotation at his Luschen Botmatch server.
You can download KP Soccer from here.
AB|Jones and I have collaborated on making a Capture the Flag version of his Team Lavapit map.
As the lava trap at the money drop area was the main feature of the Bagman version of the map, and there is no money drop in CTF, I added several items to that area in the CTF version to entice people to go there. The items are a full set of armour, the adrenaline and the pack.

Desura was probably the cheapest site to buy Kingpin but unfortunatley its owners went bust.
Well Oneplay recently bought Desura assets and hopes to have it back up and running in the first quarter of 2017.
You can read more information about it here.
Monkey Harris has amended the 1872 death match map and added the theme music from the Benny Hill Show. The new map is called 1872 Benny.
1872 is the same map as 1873 except 1873 is fully populated with weapons and 1872 only features one crowbar.
The map is a small circular map with a high ledge around the edge where you spawn. You then jump down to the centre of the map into a shallow pool where the crowbar is.
When we were recently playing the 1872 map people thought it was funny, with everyone bashing each other with the crowbar, and would be a lot more funny if it features the theme music from Benny Hill. For those fo you who don't know Benny Hill was a British comedian who was very popular from the 1950's until his death in 1992.
As such Monkey Harris found the music and amended the map. He also added some audience laughter sounds.
You can download 1872 Benny from here.
If you're looking for a place to hang out and chat about Kingpin then check out [M]'s Kingpin chatroom.
You can go straight to the chat using this link.
There also is a mobile version that so far has mostly been tested with Firefox on Android.
The link to that is here.
The more people who go there the better. If you're looking for a quick game why not drop in there and see if anyone is around and interested in a game. If not go into the Luschen Botmatch server and play against the bots while you're waiting for other people. What happens is that anytime anyone plays in one of the Luschen servers a message will be displayed in the chatroom every ten minutes saying that people are playing in that Luschen server.
[M] has changed the maps running on his Luschen Deathmatch server to run the original KPDM1-5 maps for the next week or so.
So now all you guys out there who prefer to play the original maps can now for the next week or so at least. So lets get that server constantly full right.

For anyone who doesn't know already just letting you know that there are two Kingpin Facebook groups you can join.
Cleo, one of the moderators of the Kingpin LOC FB page has recently changed the cover photo of the page to one which incorporates one of the screenshots from when we filled the server during a game of Bagman recently.
So if you are one of the people in the screen below then you are now immortalised in the cover photo at the Kingpin LOC FB page :)
