An Alternative Voting System: Raffle Voting

[Niall]

Great original idea! I hope it gets implemented.

If this is added, it'll be the only suggestion I've ever seen by a normal member been added and I've been around for awhile.

So true.

Throughout all of MCSG's history, it has stuck to two main voting systems: Voting and randomization. They both have their pros and cons, but people have come to like voting more. However, voting has caused certain maps to be overplayed while others never get played at all. On the other hand, randomization frustrates players by forcing them to play votes that are not very well liked by anyone. Why not take an alternative? In raffle voting, players still get to vote for maps, but at the end of the lobby, each vote for each map is entered into a raffle so that the map with the most votes gets the best chance of being selected.

Example
1. Valleyside University: 7 votes (50% chance of being played)
2. Icarus: 2 votes (14.29% chance)
3. Fallen Colossi: 0 votes (0% chance)
4. Holiday Resort: 4 votes (28.57% chance)
5. Fortress Pyke: 1 vote (7.14% chance)​

This is an excellent balance between randomization and voting. In randomization, there is no overplaying of maps and all maps get an equal chance.
In voting, certain maps get very overplayed and some maps never get well known. Some maps stay in the shadows forever, never getting the limelight, never having chest routes carved into their insides.

I realize that raffle voting could be frustrating if a map with one vote won when there were 14 votes cast, but it would be a good change overall.

You're hired.

Are you guys working on this plugin now or something?

I know ur going to hate me..... but I disagree. I think the community should decide what map they get to play, not some rip-off raffle system.
For example: What if at the example at the top in a game, Icarus got chosen. That would be unfair to all the people that could be spending time playing on a different server, having it actually matter if they voted or not.

But I like the idea.

But it gives less popular maps to be played, so more people get to like them.

True. I'm not sure if I want it or not.
