Map Voting

[poomanuk]

Does any1 have any cool ideas how 2 sort out the map votes in GG. It seems that when a vote comes up the 1key is the most commonly key pressed followed by the 2key this means that votes are not genuine they are just the players quick responce. The problem is due to the fast pace of the game. No 1 wants to look down @ the keyboard to press an alternate key. I've been on a few servers that have tried to combat this problem.
1) Map choices start from the No. 10 onwards
2) 10 sec pause inbetween map re-start and vote ie. you don't spawn until you vote
3) Random map changes ie. choice 1 & 2 map are never the same
I dunno anybody got any ideas ????

I have noticed this dilemma as well...
I am going to be honest I don't think it will ever change much no matter what you do.

though what you might try to do is try running the map vote in the beginning of the game. That should also inspire people to play on the server longer... when their favorite map is picked.
In the beginning of the game people are not really as worried about the game seeing as they are just getting into it. so In my opinion it would be a lot easier to get the map vote over with right off the bat.

I know that the beginning is crucial but when you are on glock... a few seconds won't hurt right when you start.

I hope this post has helped you.

Most people doesnt really read the votes...They just pick random numbers. I noticed that alot

I like the idea of randomizing the vote. But unless it was random every time i.e. different map on each one of the numbers it would lead to the same. But hopefully people would then look.
