Monthly Leaderboards + Shorter Lobby Time

[slingshot12]

All the people saying they do stuff during the lobby time...
Yeah, I do stuff too, generally surf the web, use the restroom, or workout a set or two, but I only do this because the lobby wait time is so long. Let's face it, it's not because lobbies take too long to fill up, and I mean I just find it annoying to wait 5 minutes for a game that may only last twice that long.

Here's my rough estimate of how long a MCSG server takes to fill up during the day in the certain region.

1.33(Repeating) seconds.

was that supposed to be a joke.

I'm pretty sure Chad said in his post for the next Survival Games update that there would be Daily (I think), Weekly and Monthly Leaderboards in addition to the Overall leaderboards we have now.

And you've been here a long time, so i figure you would know that shorter lobby time is in the "No No Suggestions". I have nothing against a shorter lobby time, but I don't think it should just be reduced. I think it should be voted upon to start the game, and when 2/3 of the people on the server have voted to start the game, it will be started (unless of course it doesn't meet the minimum of 12 people requirement).

I made this suggestion before Chad had made his announcement post. I'm glad he caught eye of the overall suggestion though, and I definitely look forward to the new system.

I was aware that the shorter lobby time suggestion has been declined in the past, but that was actually quite a bit ago when a high staff member (or possibly Chad) declined it. Servers fill up quickly and voting is usually done within two minutes or so. With a shorter lobby time, there is less of a possibility that the current selection of maps will be skipped, thus reducing the chance of "overplayed" maps like Breeze Island and SG4 to get voted. It's easy to see that there is quite a vocal community that is sick of playing the same two maps, and because it's becoming a known problem, the issue should be addressed in some way.

Oh I didn't see when this post was made, sorry about that.

And I know all the advantages of a shorter lobby time. I've probably suggested it in the past myself! I've always been for it, but I think voting to start the game would be more fair.

Bump these are the two best ideas I have heard since the servers were made :O
