client map voting...

[ONE]

I'm very skeptical on map voting. allowing players to be able to votemap is not a bad thing in some cases but i found recently going to some other servers (mercnet) that this can be greatly abused. when you get some stuid ppl to constantly votemap just so you can constantly annoy ppl by changing maps every 2-3 rounds into a map. this abuse i've spotted on at least 2 servers and personally annoys the crap outta me. so with that i thought a long time bout the pro's and con's bout votemap and have concluded that maybe taking it off wouldn't be such a bad thing. what's ur thoughts on this?

pro's:
===============
when admins not on:
1) players able to play maps that aren't on normal rotation but maybe on server
2) players can change map if the map is totally one sided or annoying ie. dust

con's:
===============
1) even with admin on players can "override" admin decision
2) if admin's not present, it's potentially abusable
3) might end up playing maps that are one sided b/c a clan/group of ppl want to stack

i mean both con's and pro's are fairly week imo but the chance of the abuse being possible is something i'd rather not run into. i mean we have a map vote close to end of each round anyways. is there really a reason to enable a votemap cmd? maybe allow a rockthevote but a votemap... i don't know. not a major issue but one to think about at least a bit. hope to hear some constructive replys <(^_^<).

rofl, all those maps that i listed are fun and good lololololol

I for one don't mind having alot of maps in rotation because it's nice to play different maps from time to time but I also see the potential for abuse by members allowing them to be able to change maps. I however feel that it is an evil that sadly we have to deal with. Some maps suck with only a few players and so we have to change the map and then some maps won't bring in new players so we have to change the map.

Just my 2 bullets though.

uh. too rare of an event to bitch about. it takes at least 5 people to votemap, more if there's more people on. now gtfo

[Dr. Acula]

Wait.......what?

[dwightery]

we could bump up the percentage required to votemap, and the percentage required to have a successful vote. It's probably at something like 30% now (the default i think). That way, if everyone agrees, the map could be changed, if an admin is not around. Otherwise, it stays as is.

comments guys?

dwight.

[Sryden..,.]

How about we wait to see if it actually get abused before changing it up. Yes?

[Dr. Acula]

Aside from constantly being votemapped into aztec when diM. is on I haven't seen anything. Even that isn't so bad.

[baller]

I agree with sryden, wait until something happens b/c i havent seen anything like that and there is no need to change...and also you guys should put in more maps like tides, port, havana... just so we wont play same maps over and over again

[Sryden..,.]

I say we only play Aztec, Dust, and Italy; base rank purely off being on the winning team; and allow up to a five man difference in teams.

This would allow for a well-rounded balanced server.

[Torrin]

Perfect, then we can make sure there is plenty of room for us to play on the server!

[baller]

Ok, now something happen yesterday we changed 3 maps cuz there were this idiots using vote map we bearly got to 3 rounds and the map allready changed

[The Untalented Mr. Stewar]

Yeah after playing retarded ass dust 2 three times in a two hour span I just quit the game and went and played wow.

[Dr. Acula]

Up the percentage. It makes no sense that 8 people can change a map when 12 voted for something else.
