An Idea.

[fathobo]

Well, this is going to the INS division as a whole.
Due to some map changes within our division that are not on the map rotation or unpopular maps which may lose people I was wondering if we should allow SPECIFIC =(eGO)=s to change maps.

Here are the qualifications to give someone map changing powers
1. Voted by DL, Advisors, maybe Council.
2. To not abuse the power even if the designated map changer doesn't like the map.
3. A veteran of the division or matured adult member.

Write concerns and suggestions lets talk this up.
Sorry if this is breaking a rule?.

 

[.:cake:.]

I am all for that Idea, but if its not given to everyone, and only to be used when there is low player.

Cause the map that kills BAR atm, is ramadi when we have 4 players and ramadi comes up, we lose most of player =/

I would have to say, for me this is a 50/50 thing. I really would like to be able to change maps for whenever the population on the server starts to decrease. On the other hand I feel that whoever might be in that particular server at the time should have a say in the matter. I would of course ask before changing the map and if they were to say no, well I of course would leave it be. Then there is the matter of maps getting stuck in Sudden Death for hours on in, now having the ability to change the map or reset it would be very handy... I don't know this is a good thread, it has stumped me. :closedeyes:

I feel that RTV works well. If enough of the server doesn't like the map, it will change. Ramadi is a problem, but it will soon be updated hopefully balancing it, and enticing people to join.

That sounds logical to me. Some maps really break gameplay when there are few players.

Oh noes! I voted too soon! I want the hat! Can I still get it? But seriously, that's the point of RTV. If I had the power and someone asks me to change the map I don't know if the rest of the server would like the map change. I would tell him to nominate it and then push for as many to RTV as possible.

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

im all for it. say you are playing on a map and no one likes its except for like 2 ppl. just enough to keep the RTV from working. the eGO says "who wants a different map?" and if the majority say yes then they change it.

I'm all for RTV. But you have to have a good amount of maps on the RTV list, if the list hasn't proved to be affective, then no one will care to RTV.
I'm all for "certain" members having map changing ability...in the past with hlds servers I've used vsay to write a certain vote. ie sm_vsay "Change map?" "yes" "no" "maybe" "Un4Gvn roxers your boxers."
The bottom line with admin'ing is that you want to KISS, keep it simple stupid. RTV and TeamKill punishment are some ways that the guy/gal's setting up the server can adjust it to the way that it needs to be for optimum server performance. When you start to give out a bunch of admin to several ppl, you end up with a too many chiefs and not enough indians situation.
I absolutely hate playing on a server, even on a map that I hate, and someone changes the map without letting anybody know. The transition to the next map needs to be smooth.
Nice thread.

This is the clear reason RTV was implemented. RTV gives the player base a clearly understood
and fair way to start a new map. If we were to deviate from this process we very well could
open ourselves up to internal arguments among our own ranks. As it is, we have 3 separate
servers you can go to if the one you are currently on is loaded with a map you find to be not of your liking... so its easy. Play all the maps, RTV for the map you want OR move to one of the other servers in our lineup which DOES have a map of your liking. I personally do not find it to be a good idea for the leadership to empower the division player base the ability to shuffle maps. If there is indeed a need to make changes, you only need to find a division
advisor to rcon those changes.

way too much power in my opinion and it will cause a lot of arguments and problems
