There is no doubt and can be no argument that the problem is server-side. You have a number of players who have been playing this game and versions of it for many, many years, who even to this day can connect to ANY other Annihilation server, and any edit thereof, and have no issues. Thus the problem is definitively server-side. We could hop in it right now and watch pings jump around like magic.
This could mean the mod, or the server itself. I suggested running a different version of the mod, one that is KNOWN to be working, because it'll give a definitive answer which is the case. If you'd rather just assume that the mod is the problem without running a simple test, then fine, we'll take your word and get a new server.
Either way, it is a server-side problem, and it's making things unplayable for a great many people, which is not acceptable for matches. I pm'd Crow that, basically, if we can't get things straightened out (whether it be mod or server related) than myself and others will be purchasing a new server tomorrow (for less than $35 I might add) and running Kama's edit of the mod, and when nobody has an issue in it just as nobody has an issue in ANY OTHER SERVER perhaps the few who are lucky enough to be unaffected by this will concede that the problem is not client-side, as we already can definitively say it is not.
Just a side-note, to those who are unaffected by this: I think you are affected and just don't realize it. I had to play for a couple maps before I realized what was going on myself, I thought I just sucked that day and couldn't catch anything. If it only affects one out of every three times I attempt to catch the flag, 2/3 times seems and indeed is normal. The 1/3 I account for my sucking. Fortunately, I used to catch about 19/20, so missing 1/3 was shocking to me. Those of you who don't realize this maybe just aren't as proficient or thought you were having a bad day or whatever. It's also very possible that these ping issues manifest only when we cross a certain threshold of number of players.
^actually makes logical sense unlike blaming server-side faults on the client-side.
I just want us to have a working server for the matches, which start tomorrow, as I know everyone else does.
