The same map...over, and over, and over, and over again!!!!!

How should we chose the map we play?

  • I would like to keep the current method of chosing, voting.

    Votes: 25 28.1%
  • I would like to see the current method changed to a randomly made choice.

actually, I miss random games. It would give me a chance to play maps that I do and dont like. Then I could actually play the ones I like less and get better chest-routes and more varied gameplay, instead of the same few maps with rare changes.

I found a pretty epic quote.
You all seem to understand the problem very well. I'd just like to point out a few things.

- Back when SG2 came out we were FORCED to play it, for a little over a week we all hated it but, being forced to play it, we dealt with it and came to love the map.
- The same happened with SG3, and was also very popular back then after a bit of hate.
- This was NOT done with any of the new (underplayed) community maps.

THIS is why we need random maps to be chosen. When forced to play a map your conditioned to deal with whatever comes at you, rather than being conditioned to do the same thing every game. As you said, players are bred with the meantality to - Vote/skip for SG4 - Discover a route - Attempt this until win - rinse and repeat. Having this repetitive voting disallows us to like any maps but SG4 or occasionally Breeze.

Yeah, but it's absolutely NOTHING compared to breeze and SG4. At all.

I have an idea. What if each server had only 1 designated map on it? For instance, us1 would have sg1, us2 would have sg2, and so on. Anyone agree or would like to modify my idea?

how i mine for wins?

1) form team
2) join server
3a) spam chat until people skip
3b) spam chat until people skip
3c) spam chat until people skip
3d) leave, retry
4a) spam chat until people vote for breeze/SG4
4b) leave, retry
5) fail miserably because bad/win because good or everyone else is worse

And there you have it, a typical round of MCSG from lobby to post-DM.
Same :p

We are testing some game logic with the MCSG V2. This hasn't been announced yet so I guess considered this a leak (SUBJECT TO CHANGE):

We plan to start up some map voting logic with the new release of the plugin so that this will never happen (or happen less frequent). What we had come up is that the servers keep track of the last 2 maps played. So pretend Map1, Map2, Map3, Map4, and Map5 are loaded. The first round people voted Map3 and finishes, so the game next time will know it played that map on the last round. Same server is in lobby again, however Map3 is not on the list to be voted on and only Map1, Map2, Map4 and Map5 are listed. People now vote for Map2 and the game finishes. Now, next time the same server in lobby, only Map1, Map4 and Map5 will be listed. They vote now Map1 and then that game finishes. Now since it has been 2 games, Map3 will now be re-added to the voting and you can now vote Map3, Map4, and Map5 are on the list.

TL/DR: Servers cannot repeat a map unless 2 games have passed. On the third game on that same server, the map played 2 games ago is re-added. This plus new awesome maps should solve the issue of maps being overplayed majorly. However, to the people who want to just play on those maps that are very popular, all you need to do is to check the maps played is log into a lobby and see the last 2 previous maps played.
