Hmm, I’m not a big SK fan, but it draws in the players. And even the standard maps do, .. Office, even Train for some people. Maps that are recognizable are an instant plus.
Therefore I think its necessary to approach the ‘fy’ maps and others hesitantly. Personally I think the ‘fy’ maps have a lot of class to them in some respects, but adding too many new maps could potentially upset the positive turn over of players that keeps the server full most nights.
When and if we do adopt new maps, can we try and limit them to the ‘best map/s’ and implement them slowly, say one per week? Just so that their impact can be fairly judged. Perhaps even have the non-standard maps marked for the auto-picker so that they can be chosen less often so that we can then retain a lot of what we already have actively being played, which seems to have been a winning formula thus far.
