3 maps for voting

[Pokemon365]

Im not sure if this has been suggested on the old forums before, but i was thinking that with all the new maps, and many maps in rotation at a time, i was thinking about having 3 maps for voting instead of 2.
this will change the server a bit, but wont change gameplay since it is just for map choosing.

Post what you think about this

+1

10 char limit

 

[Widdish]

Some maps dont even get a chance to get chosen often, so i think this is a good idea.

+1

10 char limit

 

[balloon98]

+1 WAIT this isnt an application

 

[One Survivor]

I don't really mind, if there's either 2 or 3. What about - Some votes have 2 choices, some 3, or some even four.

Tons suggested before :/

The idea is good but I trought last time that they said it would either:
- Create lag
- Not codeable

It was a long time ago trought, so we can still look into it.

If they can code in two maps for the vote, i think adding one more wouldn't be hard.

I think the idea is great. It probably won't be too hard to code, and it adds to the variety and people can play less-played maps more often. Also, just an idea (2 actually): If you aren't sure what ot vote, the third option could be "random", which randomly picks 1 or 2. Alternatively, random could pick a random map in the rotation, but that wouldn't really work well

Love this idea!

I'm only wondering how I haven't thought of this before.

Props.

thanks. i came up with this after i barely saw my map in the voting, along with my other favorites that were in rotation

I can see how a 3rd vote might be difficult as its based on "Yes (1) and No (2)" and there really isnt any other options in a yes or no question... But if that really is the case, you can just have 2 votes total, 1 vote being between two maps, and then the 2nd vote being against a new map and the winner map of the last vote...

That might be a little tedious, but at least its code able

@DieLorelei
Hmm, the thing about that is that it gives the new map the best chance of being picked :3 Good idea though, and it would still probably work :)

 

[DieLorelei]

Its just an alternative in the case that 3 votes at once arent possible...

 

[UltimateBudgie]

I remember thinking about this/discussing about it on the server a while back, but I never really pursued the cause.

I like the idea of having a 3rd option, but I'd prefer it to be a 'random' option. Too many times I have not been able to choose and it'd be nice to have a way to place your vote elsewhere. Ofcourse a random map would only be chosen if majority of the server wants a random map

So +1 (To randomness!)

 

[Pokemon365]

i like die's idea with the 2 votes, 1 for 2 maps, and the other for the new map and the map previously played, then another vote.

but the problem:

Next map: Nobuild128
Next map: Nobuild128
Next map: Nobuild128

(they would always vote for the map previously played if it was a map like that

That's right, we can't give the people too much power... there still needs to be some randomness!

 

[Gasy_Europeon]

I like the idea,But i suggest that the 3rd option should be random,You'll never know which map is gonna come with random ;3

 

[Jowe]

I suggested this in the old forums, Listings himself said that it was to much code for the trouble.

 

[Friendy]

Tbh I just think that the whole next map should be random, So you don't know what map it's going to be. (Meaning no 1 or 2 vote)

 

[fireball0409]

I like this idea. Sometimes, for me, i get faced with 2 maps I dislike and am having a tough time to choose between them.

 

[Leafcrafter]

I think this is be a good idea. Now there's more chance to get a running map on the vote.

 

[Pokemon365]

i dont see whats hard to code about it, though i cant even code a circle on processing................

You cannot play on the same map you just played. The server needs to load then unload it to revert it to the un-griefed version that has not been played on.
