The maps in play now were publicly decided on and unless a retard gets put in power so will the next ones.
When they ask for map recommendations, don’t do what you did the last 3 times. Next time only recommend maps you know the server populace will like, not what you personally like.
For example, I know cpl_fire sucks and I said it would kill the server. At the time people wanted it and it was put in.
Well, MasterP, the only problem to what you’ve said is that lots of maps are great. So, sure, we can turn WCU into a popular map only server, but there is a significant amount of people who like maps like sk3. I’ve been pushing for that map to be dropped from rotation every single time a rotation vote’s come up. But, it never gets dropped.
Why?
Not because the general public likes sk3, but the fact that there is a large contingent of people here at WCU who like the map. And that large contingent can, by itself, fill the server.
So, the problem with just leaving it means that when this large contingent is not around, the server empties. But, if we do remove it from the rotation, the large contingent that really matters(since this is the WCU server, will balk.

The discussion on allowing admins to directly change maps has been debated over for years. I chose not to allow it because it’s a power that’s very commonly abused and when you factor in people quitting over the abuse of it you’ll end up about where you started in terms of players. RTV was put on the server to allow the general public to change the server if the need existed and until recently it seemed to be sufficient.
RTV is usually sufficient. The problem with RTV is that when the server is empty to begin with, there’s no way you can RTV out of the bad maps that are keeping the server empty. It’s a cyclical pattern.
Now, regarding abuse, I guess I was wrong.
So, you’re saying that the execs and the council leaders have such a lack of confidence in their administrators that they can’t give them the ability to change maps?
Why not take away the admin’s ability to ban, slap, and kick people as well?
Or hell, just change “admin” to “temper moderators.”
We’ll have our guys stroll around the server and calm people down when their teammates steal defuses.
