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
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.
