Title: What maps do you want to see on the server?
Post by: Smurfette on June 01, 2010, 06:46:15 PM
The goal with this survey is to determine what other maps (not the most popular) you would like to see on the map vote.  We will still keep the popular one's one there (ie dustbowl, goldrush, etc.) and the rest of the maps, even if they do not make it will be on the server.  You will still be able to put up a nomination for any map.  We are just trying to take some of the maps out that seem to kill the server. 

Please feel free to post comments on your thoughts and feelings.

*We will choose the top 5 to put on the vote map rotation.

**VOTING CLOSES JUNE 8**

That's funny GFH. You were at the meeting did you not hear what you were supposed to do or for that matter read the page.

This is what happens when you don't follow directions. Didn't you go to Elementary school?

Jeez, how does badlands have 9 votes? Are we sure people aren't confused like GFH?

As much as I hate the map myself, Crazy, Badlands is the one map out of that list that least kills the server.  For some reason, it is the one ppl complain about the least.  So I'm not surprised at all that it is in the lead. 

However, just to clarify - we are voting for maps WE WANT TO HAVE on the server.  NOT maps that we don't want.

At least one of the votes for Badlands was intentional (mine).  I happen to enjoy that map.

Due to the fact that soooo many ppl have an interest in this map voting, and I am doing word of mouth advertising on the server (you should be doing it to) to get regulars go join our forums and place their vote, I am going to extend the vote for a few more days.  Originally it was due to end June 8, but I think we need to change that to June 11.  And, in the meantime - someone get some msgs out over the game, and reach out to your friends, advertise this vote.  Everyone needs to have a say in this - not just TE!!  Regulars have a right to vote as well.

I registered just so I could vote on this poll.

Only voted for 4

Badlands
Granary
cp_Well
Freight

would have voted for fastlane but it wasn't on the poll...

Yeah I think you can tell what maps I like.

Seeing as how I am already registered and making a post might as well ask...
Any chance of having a nocrit day?

I love Steel but no one knows how to play it, so it's kinda a server killer. Same goes for Hydro.

I voted for Egypt, Steel, Granary, Cp_well, and badlands. Even though Granary and Badlands pretty much resign me to playing medic.

Badlands and Granary are two of my favorite maps; I've been influenced by my past in competitive play.

I do love me some steel as well, but apparently no one else does :(

Voting closes tonight at midnight...here's the current standings (in order of votes. It's a bit easier to read than the poll itself)


Badlands - 11
Granary   - 8
Egypt     - 8
Steel      - 7
2fort      - 7
Pipeline   - 7
Freight    - 6
Hydro      - 6
Well (CP) - 5
Turbine   - 4
Nucleus   - 4
Sawmill (CTF) - 3
Well (CTF)     - 0

We have a three way tie for the fourth and fifth maps....one more person voting could really change this up. :P

I personally think we should keep all 3 of them, just to add that one more map into the cycle.  Also, it would make more ppl happy to see a map they voted for on the server.  Just a thought.  And hey, what would one more map hurt us.  If it was voted for then obviously there are ppl out there who like it.   :dontknow:

And technically, it closes at 9 est cause that is about what time I posted the original message.  But if you want to wait a little longer, I guess that would be ok.  Don't think it would make much of a difference.

Did you put an ending time on the vote itself? I didn't see one so I just assumed midnight. :P

I realize people tend to not like nucleus... but KOTH maps in general are great for when the server is dead.  They support 4 players a lot better than something like steel.  If steel drops below 8 players, the server will die.  (I happen to like steel too.)
