Concerns about map variety

[lakerfuffle]

It seems to me that every time new maps are added, mcsg is more than ever becoming dominated by Red Forest and Team Elite maps. They are for the most part great maps, so I don't take objection to that. I would, however, like to suggest that some kind of "rule" be put in place where every few times a map from one of those build teams is added, a map from someone unique is also added. A great example would be Guinessis and his Requiem map. It is totally unique and has contributed positively to the servers just as much as something like Moonbase 9 has.

Um... you can't really make a rule against making maps. They get accepted/denied for a reason. I would suggest contacting the Map Committee about this, if you really are serious about it. Other than that, these build teams are very experienced and get work done faster. That's why we're "overwhelmed" with their maps.

I never said I wanted a rule against making maps. I was just suggesting more variety; I think you misunderstood the post. Anyways, contacting the map committee would prove pointless. They wouldn't listen to me, haha. :/ I figured talking to the community itself might work.

I understand, but maps are being accepted as good ones come along. I don't think there should be a rule about accepting maps at certain times. It's just the way that they are built.

Yeah, I agree. Good maps aren't a bad thing, but a whole server with maps made by one team/person can be a little weird.

It's nice to get maps from different groups because you get to see a greater variance in overall style and vision.

Heres the thing, i know it may seem biased but whatever. Red Forest and Team Elite Maps get added because they are good, Chad likes them so he adds them. There are a lot of other good maps but you can't deny a good map just because it's from a popular build team.

They are certainly fine maps, but the thing is is that they often don't seem to have to go through the same waiting and gaining popularity other maps have to.

Like I told the other person that said literally the same thing pretty much, I'm not asking for Chad (or map committee, whoever) to deny any maps. I never said that even remotely, actually. I am simply wondering if they can make it so every few times a map from one of those build teams is added, a map from someone unique is also added. I don't think that is some crazy, new kind of notion.

Maps come as they do. You can't just add a "unique" map whenever. It has to be a good map. Unless, of course, you want maps to be removed more often.

Well, I think there are several maps out right now that look like they'd be nice fits, but Mortal Skies was sorta just added out of the blue, before it was even really known about. Not a knock against MS because I think it's a nice map, but they seem to have priority over other maps that seem to be of equal high caliber.

Yeah, exactly. Take a stroll through Finished Maps, guys, and you will find an entire host of great maps waiting to be added. It's not like we're in short supply of them.

I was the RF 1 year map. There was a live stream :3. Chad added it to celebrate 1 year because we have do a lot for the server.
