Basically people agree that they want the voting window to not show up until either they die or the round ends.
Possible?

While technically feasible, the biggest problem is the logistics of making a vote last that long.

For instance suppose an admin wants to turn on all-talk and starts a vote... it would effectively be paused for 3 minutes until the round ends, and then it would come up. I don't think this should be the case for general votes, because it gets in the way of on-demand votes.

However if just the next-map vote waited until round end that might work out logistically for Counter-strike. For games like TF2, the entire time played on the map might be one round so there may not be a round to delay for. For TF2, basing it off of player death may work (as people rarely survive longer than a minute), but it still drags out the vote with some people voting early and others voting really late. And what if someone lives for 5 minutes?

I should also point out that there is a reason LoneStar has a revote option, so that if you just need to exit the vote quick you can, and then you can revote your real choice later.

Well how about setting a variable time on how long a vote lasts? Time left in round + 10 seconds.

Have the vote box pop up @ player death (and @ round end if they haven't died already. You know, when it says "Counter-Terrorists Win.")

You could also put a check in there, before the next round starts (thinking of AWP vote here) if the [ #ofVotes Yes / #ofTotalPlayers >= 50% ] end vote. Same thing with No. That way, people can't revote yes and abuse the system, AFTER they buy an AWP.

So in summary:
Vote initiated will last Rest of round + 10 seconds.
Vote box will only show up when you are dead, or when the round ends ( If you are still alive, you have the option to vote for about 3-5 seconds. ).
If a single option has the majority of votes (I.E. no matter what anyone else votes for, another option can't win). End vote @ next round start.

Logic would be something like this to end the vote @ round start:
If [ Second Highest Option + ( #ofPeople - #ofVotesCast ) < Highest Option ]
End vote in favor of Highest Option
else
Do nothing.

I think the best solution is to label the votes numbers 5-0 like someone suggested. That and make yes NOT the first option.

my idea would be to have the vote as a separate key like Press 9 for votes... so you dont have to type out vote to vote... or maybe one of the F1 - F12 keys

CS:S, All servers.

Votemap comes up at 12 wins. normal. But.... The map switches immediately after the round ends. First to 15, remember?
