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.
