I will require a plugin that exempts maps that have been played recently. Maps should have to wait a total of rounds equal to half the total maps in rotation (like in Source). This minimizes D2,Office,Aztec all day.
We had something like that as well before, apparently it wasn’t harsh enough for some people. IMO ~ 7-8 or so maps between repeats should be plenty.
I think one of the problems of the old voting system was that it had 5 choices every time. If we cut down the number of choices to 3 or so, it would really let the less popular maps have a fighting chance.
With 5 up for a vote, of course the most popular, often-played map will win. But with a smaller choice set, we could see some more interesting voting matchups that could make the people who hate the standard maps a bit happier, and also make it easier for d2/aztec to not come up for voting again for several rounds.
