Map voting - OmegaZero_Alpha - Oct 02, 2008
IMO as a server operator, veto is the best choice. It keeps people from picking the same map over and over again, but it keeps the server from hitting maps that empty out the server.
can we split the other posts into a flame bucket thread?

wieks Wrote:A veto would actually be nice, like for an example on [valve maps #2] if the server restarts we could skip the constant dustbowl fest and get to some of the maps that are later in the rotation that dont get played alot cuz of the bugz with that server
Agree with Wieks on this one, particularly in regards to the valve maps #2 server. Also, at certain times of night when the server pop gets low, some maps are not as much fun to play and then it basically kills the server until rotation comes back around. If you could veto a map, or have the option to choose between say a set of 5 random maps, it could solve this problem.

yeahh veto i guess is the best option. I would say just leave it as it is, since this is probably one of the only server groups where you can consistently count on playing all the maps with good players.
But on second thought, I do leave if im fed up with hydro or whatnot. However, could you do something so that if a map can't get vetoed more than like idk 3 times in a row? That way we'll still play all the maps, just some not as frequently as others?

Yeah, thats sounds like a good idea, maybe if its vetoed then it cant be vetoed again the next time it comes around.
I myslef dont like some maps, i absolutley loathe turbine for example. Ive had to leave once or twice when it came along but i dont mind either playing it through to the next map or taking a break until the next map. Theres usually lots of people wanting to get in to fill the space once i leave.

How about this. Let's say hydro is the next map and the veto comes up. For the veto to pass, it just needs 50% votes. It gets at least 50% and gets vetoed. Next time it comes around it needs 60%. It gets 60%. Next time it needs 70% but this time it doesn't get it, so it goes back down to 60%. Something like that sound good?

Yes but who would want to veto hydro? O.o

that would be amazing if you could get it to work like that. i change my vote to that option

I would prefer things remain the same. The only 2 maps I don't like ctf_well and turbine I just toggle between valve server 1# and #2. I just started doing this recently and have discovered I may even like #2's community even more then the first. Also I started out playing on the 24/7 2 fort no bs server and still go back there. People there actually like 2fort and its fun. On the valve maps server most hate it. I also believe if voting is implemented it will be biased toward certain maps.

of course it would be biased towards certain maps.. the ones the currently online players want to play. thats the point.
