There's about I don't know, 500 active members in clans altogether? This is adding every clan together. This is a rough estimate and probably way more then there actually is. So, lets say there is 500 active people in clans that care about this. If the only reason we would get rid if it is for these people, then that's stupid. This is coming from a former clan owner and in a clan right now. This new voting system is better for lots of the non clan community. The non clan community is way larger than the clan community or whatever.

Edit: just re read your post, you can ignore my post if you want.
The clans help pay a lot of money to the servers. Most clan's have few nondonors since without donor it's nearly impossible to get in scrims and clan battles. Due to this 95% of people in clans have donor. The server will likely support them and other good players more than the average 0/500 player Tbh. Because we make them money.

That's why I said the thing about preference ;P. I was just stating why I preferred the old system. Of course people are going to disagree and have they're own opinions, which I find interesting to hear.

ok, your not the only people making MCSG money. You make them some, but there is so many donors that aren't in clans. Think of the big picture. How many people have logged into MCSG? Over a million or 2? 500 is nothing compared to that. Lets day that out of that 500 about 100 have donor. There are tons of people buying donor everyday, and in pretty sure most of them aren't in clans.

Who cares? I've won once or twice and lost around 30 times on breeze. That awful. On valleyside I can't count how many wins I've freaking gained its an incredible map. Post: once more invalid.
Nice ratio. 2 out of 30 games. That means you have a 1 out of 25 game suwon ratio. I'd be suprised if you had won more than twice and valley side.

I don't like it at all, when you paly with your friends or play a clanwar, it really sucks when sg1 get chosen, even though it was 2.35 percents chance... ._.

To be honest, I don't like it. I mean, sure, certain maps get over played, but it ruins things like scrims or clan battles. It also ticks people off sometime when SG4 has a 90% chance and SG1 has 10%, then Sg1 gets chosen. If something like that happens, half the people leave.

EDIT: Chad, like my post if you're amazing at Hunger Craft

Keep it, but you should change it, so that only Maps with 3 Votes or More can be randomly selected! If there is no maps with 3 or more votes, it is the highest percentage. For example:

Holiday Resort: 7 Votes
Teweran SG 2: 4 Votes

The Survival Games 5: 1 Vote
Icarus: 6 Votes
Fortress Pyke: 0 votes

Only Holiday Resory, Teweran SG or Icarus would be able to have a chance at winning. The map randomly selected (with percentage) is played.

My Reasons on why to remove this "Raffle Voting" are the following:
1. If you want to play a map you vote for it. eg: you vote for SG4 and it has 10 votes, then some bad map fro nowhere like SG2 has 2 votes and it wins.... Seriously i think most of mcsg is had it with this bad voting system.
2. Let me just make my point clear again: you vote for a map to play it, not some random map which nobody likes.
3. Please consider changing it back to the old and more logical voting system.
4. Thankyou.

One thing needs to be added:
1) A random option so if I don't like any of the choices I can pick an option that picks a random map from the entire MCSG list if it wins.

Other than that the voting system is fine. It doesn't really matter if a low minority map wins or not in my opinion because that means all votes get a chance of some sort.

It should be removed because of these reasons. 1: If 30 people want to play sg4 and one person votes for Fallen Empire, and Fallen Empire wins it is really annoying and most players leave anyways.. I think that if the majority of the people want one map to win, it should win no matter what, picture this 30 people choose wether to go to a restaurant or eat at home, 29 pick to eat at a restaurant and 1 picks to eat at home, next thing you know you stay to eat at home. Reason 2: It is annoying for some of us donors (I have donor on DroidLX my alt) that paid for the perks, including (and of course to help the server) getting extra votes. Sometimes the extra votes us donors get do not matter because another map with 1 vote wins. Reason 3: I am in a clan, and when my clan scrims and clan battle other clans there is a map we vote to scrim\clan battle on but even if one person votes for another map and it has a 1.34 percent chance of winning it somehow wins, and that means we need to find another server. I understand that some people do like this voting system but in my opinion there is way more reasons of why to remove it than keep it. MCSG was perfect before the new voting system.(Except for the hackers, besides that mcsg was a great place, no lag, no new voting system, and no ncp lag back.) (Btw thx for fixing the ncp.)
  1. So the one person got what he wanted, please keep in mind that this is a 1/30 ratio, which means that the other 29 times the SG4 maps get chosen.
  2. Just because your map didn't get chosen doesn't mean your extra vote didn't help. Being able to have more than 1 vote will increase the chance of your map getting picked.
  3. It would be really selfish to dedicate a whole server just for your clan battle, other are here to have a some fun aswell, if their map gets chosen so be it. Just leave the game before pre-game end ( It won't count as a game ) And get into another lobby with your clan.
