Wen map nominations are made there is an unlimited amount of allowed map noms. SO 10 ppl can nom a map and even those 10 can have more than 1 map nom. This is cool cuz options are awesome, however, only 5 maps make the final cut to be voted on. So we really shouldn't have permission to nominate so many, unless its some type of XA admin. When the final cut or top 5 maps become available [ITS TIME TO CHOOSE] you dont't even see what you wanted. The final 5 noms become randomized of everyones 10/11/12 total maps. So we get stuck with some not so good looking choices. Lets just make a fixed number of maps allowed to be nominated all together. SOooo the first 3/4/5 players to make their noms are going to be the only selections. If 1 or any of those players leave the server after making a nom then it should be removed for another players vote.

BUMP

fixed

On this topic, someone said today that they can't load in as long as the server is playing de_azteq. Never heard of this before, not sure whats the cause but yeah, I guess that's happening as well. We dumped a lot of players this afternoon on azteq. Love the map, not sure what the overall issue is.

Here we go....  Scroll towards the bottom if you don't want to read the long rant.

Do we have actually numbers on this or are we just making things up?

I really hope you are not questioning my integrity. I did not give an exact number because it was an observation that I have personally seen on multiple occasions that I felt was worth mentioning.  No, I have not recorded nor analyzed the specific player choices and the length of time they stay once a nomination is made.  If you would like me to track it, I am unemployed at the moment and I can start that process to "prove" the legitimacy of what I have witnessed versus the implication that I just pulled a random thought out of my ass thin air.   

Sorry for questioning the validity of your observation, Philly.  I was nothing personal, it could have been anyone at that time. I got drunk last night and my true feelings about map rotation came out.

Sorry, in case it wasn't mentioned more specifically in my other posts, I wanted to clarify something.  I am totally peachy with the maps still being accessible (not completely deleting).  I just think they should be removed from listmaps voting. If someone is eager to play ship_wreck, have them type it in. Less accessible, but still available.

^ I endorse this idea. I think it will help limit the amount of times we do play those shitty maps.

I also agree with your point about having soooooooo many dust2 maps and their ability to be played one after another or even in the 6 map rotation block out
