- "and that it seems logical to me that the players choose the maps that they like.. If we "break" the nominate, what the players keep ?" Im suggestion that the position on the list, when voting is random. This means that the players are nominating the maps that shows up on it and are voting for which one they prefer. I don´t quite see how this takes anything from the players? Doesnt it actually give more to people, because it takes power from a few people that nominate a lot, unless of cource, these are the people that you want to reward? But that would seem a bit strange to me.
- "The 3 is useless.. those who nominate the maps are the ones who play very often.. and they already have their maps in mind. So that there is a tag [Map of the month] [Worst map of all time] [JUNIOR is the best on this map] ... it will not change absolutely nothing on the maps loved by regulars." It´s true, that it is useless in getting most regulars to norminate the maps, but that is not the point. The idea becomes relevant, when it already has been nominated, then i do think that it would grab the attention of the voters. And there is unplayed maps being nominated, so if give more power to these nominations with a tag, maybe they could break the barrierer of becomming a "comfort map".
Easy: "believe me, if you nominate a map that nobody wants to play as first nomination (slot 4) slot 5 will win. I know cuz i often nominate neko on 4 (read sentence 2 in my signature) and any other boring camping map wins" Pretty much all of my nominations has been unplayed maps and do have quite a lot of gametime aswell and in my experience these maps are in a disadvange to the other slot 4 or 5 unless that is an unplayed map aswell, which doesnt happen that often. To even get to this point you also have to beat the lightning fast fingers of a regular and that is hard to do xD
Junior: "I agree with what Paw said, it has always worked well and the players got used to it like that, it would not be necessary to break everything," We don´t have to break everything to make a change! For example having a new map tag on the votinglist, would be such a subtle change, and i really do disagree that it is useless. I can´t imagine that this would be hard to implement eighter. It could be done as simple as having NEW MAP in the beginning of the name, when uploading it. I know that regulars are keeping the server alive and they like to be in comfort, but you also have to be carefull to be to still and right now there is a glaring issue with introducing new maps and all of the maps that was overlooked in the past. Solving this issue could let to more map creators being active, which would be possitive for the community and hopefully it would payoff in regars to getting new maps that would be considered to be "comfort maps" in the long run.
