Idea to improve the map voting

**Ben Yew** · 04-05-12, 12:48 PM

Recently especially, I've seen a lot of people RTV'ing one and two rounds into a new map after the map got a rather overwhelming vote to be changed to it in the first place. A few rounds in and the map is rtv'd to dust2 or season.

I saw a plug-in in a STEAMGAMERS mini-games server that really is smart. It basically eliminates option 1 and 2 and instead gives text next to the numbers saying "THINK before you vote" and then the first option is #3, and so on and so forth.

I think it will make people choose more carefully AND eliminate the old "oops i didn't mean to press that" vote (i know there is a !revote option but come on some of us have fat fingers and can't get that done in time).

ALSO SWAP OUT CPL MILL FOR TUSCAN!!!!

I think the reason this happens is because people are trying to fill the server. If there are 6 voters and 4 of them chose fire doesn't mean we should sit there and play fire until the server dies. I'll immediately vote map or rtv back to D2 and try and convince others to do so so we can get things going and then if you want to play fire we can do so with a packed server.

do any admins want to weigh in on either replacing mill with tuscan or inserting the new voting option?

People need to just stop rtving, grow a pair, and play a full map that isn't the top 5.

With that said, I think we have or had a re-vote option by typing revote in chat. I'm not sure if it's still there. Just extend the vote time so people can re-vote when they die.

!revote is the option thats available

And if rtv delay time, rtv trigger percentage, or mapvote winning percentage wants to be discussed, throw up a thread in the admin forum and I can make the change.
