aliens have to be real i mean look at the vastness of space. You can’t tell me u think there isn’t another planet in the whole universe that cab support life.For real.
Of course you get complaints about map voting. And you get just as many complaints about rotations as well. Look at all the threads and arguing about the rotation, and the server is still always less than half full. There’s no way to make everyone happy..but in times of need, such as now, just maybe, try something drastic like this. The map rotation has been changed what, 2-3 times in the last 2 months and to no avail.
Obviously the problem with map voting is maps getting played too much, but if you can write a plugin so maps don’t repeat until 4-5-6-7-8 maps later, then its fine.
MUH THOUGHTZ

I’ve played on plenty of servers before with voting systems. I don’t know anything about coding, but I’m sure someone could write a plugin or whatever to make it so that a certain map won’t show up in the vote until 4-5 maps later..
MAP VOTE IS THE WAY TO GO I AM TELLING YOU!
Seriously, just let the players decide what maps they want to play.
I just played on PGN and that server was so much fun. They have a map voting system and they are really successful right now. I saw A LOT of old WCU regulars in there. The reg is also really good..
I think we just lost too many players to keep the server populated. The map rotation probably wasn’t what killed WCU. I think the players just migrated over. Much like what happened to Appstate.
I am a strong believer in aliens. After I took that astronomy class in first year, my mind was never the same.
THE THINGS I LEARNED!
I miss school
In all honesty, I don’t notice the reg. Like, there’s some times you’re just like “wow..” on every server. Every server has it moments..WCU seems pretty decent to me.
That’s fair enough. But I’m just going by what I have seen in the past on the server. If you wait too long, people will just leave without saying anything and then you’re out of luck. The only people I’ve really noticed who complain about the map and ask for a change is sticky-icky, GRK, and a bunch of random kids. From what I’ve seen people don’t generally ask for a map change if they don’t like it, they just leave.
The reason people, being me, put up map votes is because the next map would empty the server, its not rocket science. It’s late at night, you have maybe 12 people in the server, the next map being prodigy, d2, inferno, nuke, whatever would empty it. At night, unless the server is full no one will want to play a map like that, people want to play fun maps..If you think trying to get more people into the server is abusing your admin, then el oh el 2 u.
There’s a fine line between being slow and dead, and we’ve passed it. I agree with what Rob said about giving power to a few trusted admins so they can vote for the maps that keep the server full. In my opinion, we’ve tried and suggest a few rotations, maybes its time to put up a map voting system? I remember back in the glory days of Appstate, the map vote was the way to go. So instead of letting an admin suggest a few maps and put them up to vote, why not completely leave it up to the players?
The problem with map votes though is that a lot of maps will often get replayed. It probably wouldn’t be too hard to write a script that will not let certain maps be played if they have already been played in last last 3-5 changes. Something like that..
I will write more later, got a few things to do.
My 2 cents, for now.
Yeah at nights the only thing I want to play is fun maps..
In MY opinion, you should set up a small rotation of 10-12 maps. Half fun maps and half the best official maps.
I remember when App died we had huge threads about it and all agreed it was the map rotation, but we changed it and it didn’t really do anything.

thats 100% what i’m talking about.people come to servers that are fun, the playersbase on top of anything make it fun.
So digging for the roots…
the questions is now, why are the regulars not talking it up, kicking back and having fun?
Maps I believe.
I haven’t really noticed a change in the environment..just less regulars using the mics making the game fun.
Honestly, I know this issue has been talked about A LOT, but I’m almost positive its the maps. Seriously, this game has been out for ages, everyone has been playing d2, inferno, nuke, cbble, etc for SO LONG. While those maps are still fun occasionally, playing custom/fun maps is much more fun imo. Lately I haven’t been joining the server unless its on awp_dust, snow, scoutz, awp_map, etc..
Just some thoughts!
