I understand the motivation for a small cycle.
We did start with a small one. And made it bigger step by step.
I have cut down on the cycle again, removing 2 custom maps. ut4_nepal and ut4_sliema (I have heard people disliking this a lot - although I do not know why).
If we do get more complains about the cycle being too big. We will do something about it. But looking at the server the past week this cycle filled all slots successfully almost every day.
Looking at the statistics I suggest you join the server from 16:00-17:00 on, after that the player numbers tend to rise quickly. If you don't want to wait for players look at the server after 18:00 it has been full at that point most of the time the past week. Generally: More often as you play player numbers rise, we would be very glad if we see you here often.
(Mby "vote" your preferred mapcycle, we will never veto a vote except when a other vote just went through successfully, if this does happen tell the mods/admins that you feel he is not doing his job good - always report misbehaving mods/admins
)
We will work on a map voting system for the bomb server. It is on our ToDo-list. This will compile a 5-10 map cycle every week. (Maybe having a "weekly" special) in my mind this would work by giving a F1 and F2 vote. The cycle will always be the top maps.
We had something similar to that working once for TDM:
http://www.dswp.de/old/map_voting.php. We would have to get this up to date for bomb as well.
dust2 is on the server and can be voted anytime. But as there is a quite active dust2 only server we did not want to play the same map too often.
Don't take what I just said as a "NO". Your voice has been heard . We will look into it when more feel the same way. To others: Please tell us when you feel the same way, as that is the way to change it.
