    Well, you know, we had this two-round vote system.
    In first round you have 5 maps to vote and in second round you got 2 maps.

    We should really readd that.

    I did not realize run off votes were disabled, it must have overridden the file when I installed cyberkillers end of map vote plugin.

    I changed some options in the file and hopefully run off vote is enabled now.
    A map needs to win by 51% of the vote if not 1 run off vote should come up with the choice of 2 maps.

    If this is not the case please let me know and I will recheck the plugin files and correct it again.

    This is 100% not the case. Maps win with around 30% votes.

    Dang teef - learn how to post a vote.

    Ya - I'd agree to vote for removing it. It can be very fun - when played occasionally. We can still vote it in, but maybe not in rotation right after two other infantry maps.

    PS: I love the nubs who say "Tell me which to vote for". Vote for Obama fucker!

    I will never post a poll thread.
    I want to manually gauge the votes and get rid of anonymity of voting.

    This is a server issue, not a game issue. If you have an issue with a map in rotation, talk to the server administrator and petition them, not the team or the community.

    Ok so the number 1 reason I vote and nominate Escort.

    Map 1 - Com loses CV in first 5 mins
    Map 2 - no com. Over in 5 mins
    Map 3 - no one joins. Finally gets RTV
    Map 4 - Enemy rushes. game over in 5 mins
    Map 5-9 Hobbes joins. Loses CV or gets walled in under 5 mins
    Map 10 - Fuck this nominate emp_escort

    When map after map is ruined by bad coms or no coms. Your down to a few maps that allow vehicles but don't need a com. That is also a major part of stacking. It's not that people always stack just to stack. Some times it's oh this team has a decent com vs bad commander.

    Number one reason for bad commanders - Commanding is boring. So no experienced players want to do it. It's the same maps over and over. It's placing building in pretty much the same exact location every time you com that map. It's the same research every game.
    I have thought about just recording a macro for emp_canyon. It never changes. You know exactly where buildings are going to be before the map even starts.

    Why the same maps - Download server kills population. All maps should just be pushed as updates. Downloading them in between maps takes too long. If maps have been around longer then most of the current players shouldn't they be considered official ? Another issue with underplayed maps is no one knows what the fuck they are. People vote for what they know. "Hint" The more you talk about Escort the more known it is and the more it will be voted.

    So one solution is maybe do a Html map vote. That way people could see some pics and a description of the maps they are nominating and voting for.
    Have it list who has nominated and voted for what maps.

    What do you think this thread is for, its to gather names and provide proof that the majority would like to remove the map from the servers until it can get re-balanced.
    Having a thread with everyone voicing why they do or don't like the map is more than enough reason to keep a record on it.
    You can go down the list and look for the post in the thread with the search function using the persons forum login and it will give you a result of why this person voted for or against.

    This is down on paper and people can reference it at any given time, its purely record keeping.

    You can set it to public, so when people click the vote they can see who voted for what. Unless you mean you want people to see at a glance without actually touching anything because people are lazy like that.

    Yeah and people can just click whatever without thinking about it for a second, or troll vote and leave the thread.

    Ok, so how about choosing the type of gameplay a majority wants first, and then the specific map that fits the prefered game mode:


    1) Do you want to change map? YES / NO

    2) Please choose the type of map you want to play on: a) Commander / b) Infantry

    2a) Do you want open field or choke point map?

    2aa) <List open field maps here>
    2ab) <List choke point maps here>

    2b) <List Infantry maps here>

    The thing is our community is just too tight.
    Posting anywhere is probably the same.

    No. it has to be simple, just split comm / no comm maps. also we should figure out whether this will end up in an either/or OR mixed map vote.

    This thing at the end of the map can really kill our time.
