AGAR seems to be popular on pub server... cool!
SPACE + AGAR = LOL
I hope everyone is having a great time! After a short break I'm back with a multitude of changes and additions.

Mute + Kick

There's a lot that needs to be done in preparation for making Soldat 2 an F2P game in the long run. An increase in player count means also more problems. These are the first in a long list of additions: * Chat filtering based on Steam's internal filter (turn on Family Filter in settings) * Mute someone by clicking his name on the scoreboard (also show his profile to know who it is)
* Vote kick players in the lobby by clicking on their name (if they are kicked they won't be able to join again for 1 hour)

New rank icons

proto made some brand new rank icons:
Now you know what to strive for... :) Rank icons have also been added in relevant places like scoreboard and top ratings:
Top ratings and rank estimates have been fixed! (this might mean you have a different rank now, but it's all good now)

ctf_Guardian

Added a new classic S1 map: CTF_GUARDIAN (by SuoW, remade by darDar)

Ranked fixes

Ranked games are being constantly fixed under the hood based on players reports. I added some QoS improvements to the UI too. When entering the Ranked screen, you will now see a list of ongoing games and a count of players in active queues (if there are any playing or waiting)
