Map Committee Updates

[Joel/MadDawg]

Lately, there has seemed to be community outlash over some of the map committee's decisions. People have complained that the committee has not taken into consideration what the community wants when deciding on things that affect the servers.

After some thought, I feel that better communication between the Map Committee and the community will help to solve these problems. You might be asking, "But Joel, how will the map committee communicate more with the community?" My solution to that problem is simple: a periodic thread that describes the things the map committee has been doing.

These updates could include:

- A list of maps that are being discussed by the map committee to add to the servers.

- A list of maps that are being discussed by the map committee to be removed from the servers.

- A list of map bugs that the map committee is aware of and working to remove.

- Notes from map committee meetings.

- Anything else that the map committee feels is important to update/inform the community on.

This update thread could be done monthly, bi-monthly, or simply whenever the map committee feels like posting one. I realize this wouldn't solve all problems, but I believe making the map committee more transparent will benefit everyone. This is an idea I just came up with, so please comment how you feel about this/what could be improved in this idea. Also, I'd love to hear some feedback from people in the committee about this idea.

Yup, 100% agree.
I think there could be a section in the monthly news letter about what's happening in the map committee.

That's a good idea, I just don't think as many people would see it if it was in the news letter (not that many people read it honestly).

Hmm, well, considering it gets on the front page, then lots of people must at least see it.
And maybe more people will read it, if it has extra info like that on it.

It's probably the easiest way, unless you just post a thread each month, which would work too.

I was just trying to be more creative ^-^

This will be looked into, lately due to some other staff issues we have been very random and rushed with what we have been doing. Maybe not this time but hopefully next time we push a big update we will try to keep you guys more up to date.

Remove: SG1, SG2, SG3, Sg5, Fortress Pyke, Destiny/s Shiver, The Fallen Empire v2.0, Fallen Haven, TSG1, TSG3
Re-Tier: Avarcia, Breeze Island, Breeze Island 2
Fix: Survival Games Ancient Japan- Lag
Breeze Island 2- Invis. Players, Empty Chests
Add: Freeze Island

Freeze island was removed due to popular demand in game and on the forums, and because it was (another) breeze variant.
Fortress pyke is played quite often and I'm pretty sure tsg1/tsg3 won't be removed because, well, they're good maps but they're badly tiered.
SG Ancient Japan was being remade by AlpakaWhacker to fix all the lag issues, so when he's finished it will most likely be changed.

Back on topic, I really like this idea, and hope they take it into account.

Just a little Sneak peak into the next update though: 11 SG maps are being discussed about being added, 9 from the forums and 2 from PMC. I am still searching for QQ maps on PMC to add (as it seems all the big YouTubers bought them all for their own private servers >.>). Top 3 for Kit PvP contest votes are almost done, just waiting on one more person.

Correct however the map should never have been released onto the mcsg servers before the map was completed and shouldnt have been added without my permission

We had just readded it so we can update it once you finished. Since it had been on the servers before we assumed we had the permission, sorry about that :c.
