Maybe add a random option to the map vote page?

No, it should be FORCED

I agree with the random idea, we also could add some cool interesting traps, levers, rooms, or secret rooms that contains teleporters so that people would try out the less played maps

Quick question:

Why are we forcing players to not play the maps they want to play?

I think it is a reaction brought on by the continuous overplaying of maps.

I like the idea, but feel it should be exactly like what we have in Zombie Survival, where we can vote sometimes, and other times it is a random map.

I've been to a server where they force map rotation (cycle not random) and everyone seems cool with it. We could still keep vote to change map option but only works if you played the current map for a round or two.

D:

// People get bad map.
/;// People can't change the map.
/;//;// People stop playing.

// People get a map with a long download time.
/;// People have to sit through it to change the map.
/;//;// People stop playing.

// Certain people can't join the server because the map is causing buffer overflow messages.
/;// People can't play on the server.
/;//;// People go to another server. 

:///: We are back in the exact opposite of this situation.



What I suggested was as a starting measure and was not intended to last more than two weeks. Since so many maps are overplayed to a crazy degree I wanted the start of the perm server to have this so that people play newer maps. Since this feature was not implemented on launch and you are discussing this as if it were to be permanent, I want this thread locked.

The idea of being unable to choose what map you want to play next is very unstable. If the group of people playing on the server dislike the next map some of them will outright leave. It's like taking the concept of voting for a government official and the resulting "Don't complain if you didn't vote because the majority of voters want this", then making it forced with no input from the affected parties.
I have avatars and signatures disabled. There is no reason to judge people here by anything other than what they post.

I got a better question, why can't it be random? Seems more fun that way than everyone complaining because we play the same damn maps.

To solve such problem:
1. Just leave this community and the servers and don't give a shit anymore.
2. Add map rotation.
3. DDOS the server every single day.

Pick 1.

You? I think it's wise for you to pick #4.
