the reason giving people the power to change the maps is a bad idea is because of situations like this:

i REALLY like cp_heythere, and a lot of the people on the server are playing it and enjoying themselves. Fake admin Joe comes on and a few of his buddies are liek "hey joe we dont want to play this lets play cp_underagegirls instead" Joe is like "lol k d00ds" and changes the map.

now, i fuckign HATE cp_underagegirls. so i leave.


you can say that "well joe should never do that, that would be admin abuse." but let's be serious. it will happen. Fusion changed the map a few times for you guys and then for weeks he was flooded with messages on steam all the time saying "hey come change" from people on the server even when the map wasn't one of the server killers. (i personally witnessed enforcer do this)

so the only time joe would need to change the map would be when the server is super dead. but if you change the map rotation this should theoretically never happen according to you guys, so it would make exactly 0 difference.


Enforcer's letter contains one major problem: custom maps. I have played those maps. i like them. still, custom maps kill servers. adding "pro variants" is still a custom map.
so far, qwo's list seems the most realistic, even though he kept pipeline on there and you guys always bitch and moan about pipeline so wussup




just a side note,
some of those maps on enforcer's list are specifically balanced with 6v6 play in mind. 16v16 on those maps can get truly terrible.
