The poll percentages are off. They don't even add up to 100...
Not all people in a server do /vote. Some choose not to, don't know how to, or just plum don't care. Also, if there is an odd number of players in the server (like 17), and one person doesn't vote, maybe the server's going by how many people didn't vote as well. I don't know if that really factors in or not, but then again, I wasn't the one who coded the plugin.

Yeah but who ever leaves the main island? Especially since they removed all the tier twos out there. (Like why is the lava mountain chest not a tier two...) How have they not gotten to fixing this map yet? Same goes with winds of change. I have an OP route on it, the sad thing is it only has two tier twos and it's still op.

I could swear that maps like Wyvern's Wake (though it's gone now), Fortune Island, and Teweran SG2, have miles more than other maps. I mean I think the only t2 I've seen on Teweran SG1 is the double, and there are other maps that are definitely lacking in at least balanced tier two placement (*cough* Valleyside *cough*)
A). I leave the main island for the non-parkour tall one. Also, the chest on top of a jungle tree on the island to the left of my island is also tier II. >_> ((The island with a total of two chests on it and one chest underwater.))

B). Teweran SG1 has, or at least used to have, a tier II single up by the cross on the hill.

I would like it to stay but add the random map choice as well so if you really don't want to play any of the maps there are other choices.

I'm talking about the forum poll at the top of the thread :p

The randomness takes out the choice factor and makes the need for a /random choice irrelevant. The point of the new voting system was to be able to have maps played that weren't on the list of five selections in lobby. This is why, as you may have seen, you can have 24 votes for Solar Frost and get Fallen Empire V2 in return when it wasn't even an option to be voted for.


Edit: Drat RC, you and I are posting in sync today! Anywhoosies, my reply to your original 100% post is still relevant, methinks.

I don't really understand...
donations are donations not?
And did you even read my post before quoting it?
I just said that they put perks in donations so more people donate. If you think that you "payed and you get what you want", you're pretty wrong..
Sorry for any misunderstanding, I forgot a comma before the not. But i think that you didn't read my post fully. When i said "I payed money so i should get what i want, this was a point that was made by others why to go back to the old system, i was stating an argument against this point and why it is invalid. I am for the raffle system and was posting why the points made by people who wanted to go back to the old system were invalid

Well, what I'm trying to say that if you add the percents on the right of the voting options at the top, it will equal about 107%, which is obviously incorrect. The percentage that the website shows for the option "remove it" is incorrect as the other two options have more votes if you combine them, yet the "remove it" option says 52% are voting for it. Kinda weird.

When I first heard that there was a "raffle voting system" I didn't know much about it. I thought it was just having a random map getting chosen and I didn't like it. After reading this thread, I know how it works, and I love the idea!

In my opinion, it is best that the raffle voting be kept. Like what everyone says, it adds variety, and all maps gets a chance to be played. It does get annoying sometimes, but other maps are there for a reason. I remember back when the raffle voting wasn't implemented, about 90% of the time, we'd be playing either Breeze Island or Survival Games 4. Through this system, other maps had the chance to be enjoyed and played. Though, if there are other ways and ideas on how various maps gets a chance to be played, I guess we can try it out.

It's a really small map thus it has only a few tier II's
Solar frost is small but has around 25 tier twos plus mid. Honestly it's smaller than breeze. I hear what ur saying but really TWO? XD I'm sorry but there is no way you can put that to make it sound reasonable in the least. A retier for breeze, avaricia, kharmunrah, and many others is greatly needed due to excessive lack of tier twos.
