Add Current Map on Server Status ((With Poll))

[Katie]

Well, now maps 1 and 2 are on a rotation, which is great, but now some people are liking map 2 better than map 1, or vise-versa. So, all I'm suggesting is enabling a feature onto the live server list so it's easy to tell what server is playing on what map. This would be even MORE helpful once more maps are added into the games.

This would most benefit donors. Let's say one donor likes too play on map 1 more than map 2. If they look and see that US.12 is on map2, with only 3-4 tributes left, then they could join that server, and the next round, be able to play on map1. This would help with the server-jumping from donors, when they try to find a server about to play the map they prefer.

Also, this is just a nice add-on. Even if you like both servers, you can at least see what server is playing on what map. Especially if you have been playing Map1 over and over again the last 5 games you've been playing. Which brings up another reason. Say you've been looking at the server list to find a server that's in the lobby, join, play a game, then join another server that is down to the final tributes, or in lobby. (I assume a lot of donors do this) Well, it'd be irritating if you end up playing map2 4 times in a row, not having a chance to play map1. Well, if they added this feature to the website, then you could easily pick a server that is about to play map1, to even things out.

This is just a suggestion, please leave comments, and also, VOTE on the poll!!!! Would you like this add-on?

FAIL! I hit post thread before I could finish the poll. D:!!! *cries in embarrassment*

Are you saying that certain servers should play certain maps only, without the rotation?
Or, the page will be updating constantly to show what server is playing which map currently?

If the site said Server 1 is playing Map 1, you CANNOT join that game because it is already being played. If it would show which map it were to play next, this would not be a problem.

Did you understand? I'm not good at explaining my logic.

Uhh... Like, US.12 has 4 tributes left, and they are playing on map1, then on the server list, it will say "Current Map: Map1" ...?

How would that benefit us?

It would benefit us because we could see what map each server is on... I think thats a good idea, but I don't think the map is picked until the 5:00 lobby time is up.

You would not be able to see which map is playing next though. Why would you want to see which map each server is on.

I am aware it probably doesn't chose which map to play next until the lobby is up, but that can easily be changed.

Don't the maps go back in forth...?

It's random. The maps could potentially be the same map for five rounds in a row.

... Well... great. I just spent the last ten minutes writing something pointless...

Thinking about it, I don't really know.

Just read a post yesterday that said that in it.

Another idea (rather than showing the current map) would be to have a voting system in the lobby, so that if most people would rather do a different map than the one that's listed next, it will do so, rather than continue the cycle.
