could u plz alow us mear players on the ville to b able to activate a map vote
at the moment its only an admin who can do it but every now and again people on a server wont a change/beak from the non-stop rotation but their's not always an admin in the server to activate a map vote
i think this will help to keep more players ( who arn't addicted to the ville ) to stay -- as they wont get frustrated/board with the rotation cos it could b brocken up with a map vote
plz |

I thought TV III had a mapvote?? Maybe it's been turned off, thank g*d, cause that kind of power in the hands of a llama get's very very annoying. I think if maybe there was a 75% vote or something then it might work. Changing maps every 5 minutes is rediculous, or even seeing a new mapvote every 5 minutes is annoying. Kinda contradicting myself with the opinion but it's a toss up either way. _________________

Well I think a map vote is a good idea, and I also think, I am not sure, but in admin mod you can set the amount of time between each map vote, so if thats set pretty high then it will be allright. |

TV3 has a map vote, and it's usually in the hands of n00b, which get annoying, one server is definently enough. |

i think that a map vote should b on all of the servers -- thats why i posted this thread -- i think that the way to solve the prob of 's voteing every few minutes is to only alow a vote during the last 5 mins on the map.
this would then stop people voting every few mins and when they don't like the map -- but it would still alow people to start a vote if they dont like the next map in the cycle.
just my opinion |

That's a good point bobins. One of the servers I used to play at actually did that and it worked out great. I didn't always get the map I wanted but it worked out for the majority. I think it was the last 3 minutes or so the server would ask you to vote for a map, otherwise it just continued with the map cycle if not enough people voted and agreed on a single map. It's up to the G*ds but I would agree with you on that topic. _________________

<---- looks back at these words from my old admin days of Vegastfc
i like map voting myself but it can get out of hand which is not a good idea .. in vegastfc that happened lots except when [KSR]Lake[Vegas] or [Vegas]Headhunter or [Vegas]Criminal [Vegas] Eltranced was around.. even i tried my best to keep the mapvote to a minimunal stand still.. but it didn't work and servers sometime crash after many mapvotes arugh and frustrating.. i am glad to have admins around when u need them!! bobins take a look at admins point of veiw brn knows this as much as i do and so do everybody here...
i had a great time admining in vegastfc but that was back a year or so ago since i came here.. things have changed some for me and i am glad for the little break and every now and then i think of admin commands from my old days!! we had all kinds of good maps also but lots of them was for sniping... i sure wish i could see some of the old admins from vegastfc come and play with me!! man i miss vegastfc also but this is my home now and i am proud to be a villun
Bobins you remind me of my old admin days and i thank you for that and hope from my x admin days this helps point out what mapvoting can do? if u have any questions bobins please pm or write i'd be glad to hear from u!! |

In my experience, the current absence of a public mapvote isn't all that bad. There is always at least one admin on pretty much all the time, so the option to change the map is therefore available pretty much all of the time. |

I used to agree Bobins, however, now I hope it never comes back, ever. Always a bunch of turd bags using it and switching to dustbowl 50 times in a row.
I think both 2 adn 3 have votes at the end of the map anyway. _________________ "The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it."

This is how its setup on almost every DOD server I play on and it seems to work nicely, maybe it could be tested for like a week or 2 to see if it would work out? _________________ Killing is my bidness ladies and BIDNESS IS GOOD!!!! |
