To start of this post, I just want to say that this feature could have been suggested before, and if it has, I have no intention to necro-post. I looked for other posts like this and did not find any.

So here it is ;),

As a frequent MCSG player, one of the biggest things I dread is the 2:30 minute wait time... I know you dread it too :p. So what if MCSG changed this time, (like many other servers have done), and reduced it to 0:40 or 0:30 or 1 min... you get the idea, when the particular lobby has been filled up to 24 players or 48 players. Wait times would be much shorter and game to game times would be also quicker. I think this would be a stupendous (Ya I said it, don't judge me xD) addition to the MCSG servers and I hope the staff will take this into consideration. I strongly think this would make MCSG much more efficient.

Thanks for reading.

Rebuttals:

"I won't have enough time to vote for a map!"
-Guys, remember you can do "/v" at anytime to promptly bring up the map voting list, so you can vote whenever you want. You don't have to wait for the voting cycle. Remember this, kiddies. :)

"Donor's won't have enough time to join a full server!"
-First off, there are 150+ servers, and if a few start the game with 24 members, there are still plenty of more filled servers for you to join. This change would also benefit donors by keeping their wait time short as well. :)

This is mostly a personal thing, but pregame is when I text my friends and go on the forums.

On a more serious note, I wouldn't mind a slightly shorter wait time. Not :30 seconds and whatnot, but maybe 1:45 - 2:00 minutes.

I see where you are going... but 2:00 and 1:45 doesn't change much once the game gets filled to 24 players (which is on average around 2:00 anyways)

Well, it's already been shortened in the past and I do t see much of an issue with how long it is now. I just think back and remember that it could still be five minutes.

What is the point of buying donor when your forever searching the board of servers for a lobby with a full or decent amount of people in them. Maybe introduce a /vt command where players can vote for the time to be skipped so if you are waiting for someone to join then there is still time.
