TTT - should make map vote pool numbers 4,5,6,etc instead of 1,2,3,etc

[TrIgGaListic]

In TTT ive seen a trend where everybody majorly votes for map number 1, some dont read the map names, they just want to get the map pool text off their screen. Instead you should have map vote numbers 4,5,6, etc so people dont automatically press 1 all the time and they actually read the map names to better vote.

That's actually a pretty nice suggestion (and also true). +1

 

[4g0tt3nSou1]

+1.

+1. This could also be used on all servers.

Then people would just start spamming 4 or some other number.

A better solution might be to simply prompt users in chat that a map vote has started, and require a command (like !v or !vote) to trigger the map vote window. This way those who don't care about map selection can simply ignore the message, and the votes of those who actually care (or actually know the maps) are weighted higher.

I like this idea. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the first map nominated appears as #1 or #2 in the vote which means it's very easy to get people to vote for a map you want as long as you are fast to nominate as soon as a new map begins.

can you reclarify? i read this a couple times but didnt quite catch what you meant

that could work also, or even have a last option as "random" for the voters who do not really care which map gets chosen. and maybe also play this sound so it gets peoples attention, like the good old days from cs 1.6 "time to choose / its time to choose"

edit - "maybe even set map vote only in the beginning of the round" as opposed to the middle of the round where people are focused on actually playing TTT"

Clarification: when a new map begins, the first map to be nominated seems to show up as #1 when the map vote begins.

In other words, let's say we start on a new map like peachcastle and you're first on the server so you type nominate and nominate clue (good choice btw). I join second to the server and nominate closequarters. Juve is third to join and nominates subway. Carter is fourth to join and nominates apehouse. When the map vote begins it looks like this:

1. clue
2. closequarters
3. subway
4. apehouse

This means that the first map nominated is generally the map we select to play since most people just hit the 1 or 2 buttons when the map vote appears. I imagine this is true for other servers not just TTT btw.

+1.
an addition to this suggestion, how about giving each map it's own cooldown value? like popular maps would have 20 while less popular ones would have 10~15 and so on.

We don't have nearly enough maps to do a map cool down, and I hope we never add an additional cool down ( We already have a small one)

I agree with this for all of our server. I know Sneak's currently has this. It looks something like this:

1. Pick a map
2 Are you going to choose something?
3 Pick!
4 am_map1
5. am_map2
6 am_map3
7 etc
8etc
9 etc
