mah bad.

yea it might be time to start layin some guide lines of when to vote and when not to vote. i was hoping u guys would be smart enoff not to have to have rules like that put in place. It really is just common sense. you guys know the rotation so don’t vote a map that is going to be played next or within the next 3 maps. Hopefully once piranesi get put in we wont need to vote map so much.

if this continues being a problem we will go back to the “cannot vote a map unless the server is half full” rule

rtv can be called if the server is over half full…

This is one of the drawbacks of democracy. People vote for RTV to play a map they want. And it just so happens that the map in the rotation after the voted map is the same thing. What’s so hard about either a) doing another rtv, getting an admin to votemap a map that wont be played very soon. c) don’t rtv in the first place to keep the rotation clean. I don’t know if it needs guidelines as much as say a warning or something: like after you cast an rtv have it spit at you WARNING: YOUR GOING TO F UP THE ROTATION, RTV AT YOUR OWN RISK. Now granted most cs players are ADHD, so they might not read it, but we have to hope at least some level headed individuals will make the right decision.

also going back to the “cannot vote a map unless the server is half full” is just solving a problem with another problem. So we make the rotation stupid proof, but in return the server dies because it’s stuck on a map no one wants to play. I like all the maps, but some days the server will stay empty when it’s stuck on a map like cbble for 20 minutes. Now if what Liam said is how it is: RTV for dense times and when the server is under 50 percent capacity admins can votemap, then that solves the issue right there.

TBH though, I don’t see a real problem, maybe when there are no admins on, but when there are they should have enough brain and cs power to solve this pretty easily.

easy fix to all these problems is to let me create your map rotation.

1. office

2. dust2

3. inferno

4. scoutzknivez

5. train

6. cpl mill

7. chateau

8. forge (remake of cbble = a lot more fun)

9. piranesi

10. militia

11. awp_dust

12. survivor

13. italy

14. nuke

15. vertigo

i can not agree with any map rotation that doesnt have snow…forge is a great map but i dont know if ppl will wanna DL it. its alot better than fkn cbble…i vote could like to see de_storm instead or piranesi. btw i would watch lotool’s sig for hours

At the moment, that rule is there to protect the server from being at the admins will and being forced to play only maps the admins want. I’m not going to be a stickler about map votes just yet, as you guys are very familer with the server and can read what the population wants as the population changes. I dont mind if you see the server pop dropping dramatically and you throw a vote up so that it stays full, but the second we start hearing complaints from the server about how you guys are making it 24/7 dust2/inferno/scoutz then i will be giving out warning and removing admins who continue to break that rule.

Really the rules are there so that you guys dont go out and make WCU look bad and become tyrants on the server. You guys have been awesome the past few month and besides uber slapping campers there have been no problems with you guys, Just keep what your doing and help the server out and we will all be good.

Also once Liam gets the changes i asked for in, and we update the rotation, then i hope you guys will never have to vote map except for fun maps

I think this will go here.

 

RTV seems to have a bug. The bug is that if there are only two people in the server that it still needs 13 or so votes to get activated. This seems like an issue if there is a small number of people in the server. The main purpose for RTV is if there isnt and admin around they chan change the map, or for our case more than half full it will allow us to change the maps by an RTV command other than a vote.

 

I dont think it is doing much good. NoDice noticed it in the server and may have posted it elsewhere. I just haven’t seen it.

its not that it needs 13 is “needs 13 or 75%” so if there was 5 ppl on and 4 RTV, it till go to a vote

im sure if 2 peeps were on and both RTV-ed then it would work but ill pop on around 10 and play with it cause there is usually very few ppl in then.

ahhh,, did not know about the “or 75%” i’ll keep an eye out

<3

Another bug that RTV has is a reconnect bug.

If you reconnect after you have placed your vote you can cast another vote.

EDIT: Apparently it is the Big Foot of Bugs, I have seen it happen myself, but when I tried to show it to Major it disappeared! lol believers should keep an eye out if you see it happen.

but i dont think the old vote counts if you leave

yeah it doesn’t =/

but that doesn’t mean you can’t still believe in the Big Foot Bug! It’s a legend!
