GFL Zero Nominations Day 2017

[DUSTY 170 / 4,093]

It's time we stop playing the same 5 maps for a day. It's time to add a little variety to the server.  It's time to see what the other 140+ maps are all about.

 

Introducing Zero Nominations Day 2017!

 

It is a day where map nominations are turned off and the list is completely random when you finally decide to RTV shit map. If only for a single day let's explore maps one could only dream of playing because it's constantly up against santa or arctic escape (wtf is up with arctic escape lately?). I played a map this weekend that seriously hasn't been played in at least 6 months on this server and it was actually a lot of fun. I knew it existed but does the random player who sees nothing but icecap all day everyday know what it is? The answer is no. We must expose them to different and newer maps, and maybe they'll enjoy them and vote for them in the future.

 

Stop allowing the first people who load a map the ability to nominate the same garbage over and over and have just 1 day where it's completely random. Maybe we can have nominations turned off for longer periods in the future but I will start by asking for 1 day.

Good idea, and i think we should have the points / play hrs to nominate the map too.

 

eg, if you play 1 hr straight you can nominate the map something like that if less than that you can't.

And if you play long enough like 3 hrs up or 2 maybe you can nominate those try hard maps (Santa, Gris ,etc)

 

I dont know just my idea.

Nah, they gonna afk in the server and to the nominate think like they used to do.

well in pse or EOS we can;t nominate . in PSE we can;t nominate map like gris or wandere to prevent overplayed map so people will never nominate too hope get that map. EOS we can;t nominate all map so always random. well sometime will bad idea if we limit nominate  but sometime will good for free nominate all map.

We could remove the option to nominate, period.

i like that hoho so all random nominate

Isn't there a cool down for recently played maps already? Just make the cool down a whole lot longer

[Trexller 39 / 2,657]

First... lets no drag icecap through the mud, its a classic and the best map ever.

 

Second... this is an amazing idea, we played kraznov yesterday and i had played it once maybe twice ever and it was awesome. Theres also a few other maps that are just mayham that would be fun to play but just never get voted over the usual.

 

Something like this should be done regularly not just a 1 time thing

I think admin should be the only players that are allowed to nominate any number of maps to the maximum number allowed, regardless if they're an admin of Tier 1, 2, 3, or Server Manager and above. Otherwise if no admin are on, then the maps should be entirely random for the reasons Dusty stated above.

The cooldown in between maps is fine as it is, the main issue, is that the server will randomly crash on map change. Once the server crashes, all the maps are up for nomination again.

Then we are gonna have sorrento, icecap, greencity, mako, gris 24/7

Wish I could like this more than once. Maybe we could make it zero nomination week.

It's nice to see all the support for this idea. I thought asking for a day would be a stretch but from what I gather, people wouldn't mind seeing it go altogether... at least for a little bit. I bet most wouldn't even notice that it's gone.

 

@NARAKA - DarkHeroz basically hit the nail on the head. People would just afk until they could nominate. That and the server is sort of flawed where it kicks you at the start for slot reservation or some other bug where the map doesn't load right and then you're back at 0.

 

@Vinz - Google translate couldn't even figure what you just said. kek

 

@PB-n-J - Baby steps. But hearing the response from others it would not be the worst idea. You should see your way back into the admin team so we have an inside man to sway the decision making.

 

@CrusTi - It does crash like Wilford said, and even the cooldown doesn't seem to help anymore. It's like the maps are on a 3 hour loop and increasing the cooldown would only add a few more maps to that repetitive loop.

 

@Trexller - I think I'm the one who recommended it as default map when it was Frostdrake for a while.

 

@Obamaite - Admin nominations is a good idea. That way if we are actually Santa ready we can ask them to nominate it. Although, the admins are just as capable of trolling the nominations as anyone else. 

 

@Fidler_2k - I did this just so we could add a little variety to your screenshot collection.

[NARAKA 34 / 2,636]

@DUSTY @DarkHeroz So, If we put auto-kick for afks ? like who afk more than 3o mins gonna get kick or 15 mins. if they afk that long i think they should be kick re-join later.

[DarkHeroz 93 / 3,517]

@NARAKA I don't know if this is true but i find it when trying to disable suicide kick. The feature kick afk has been disable if not someone gonna be kicked for too many suicides.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't let people afk until they could nominate.   As A fellow Nazi (Sieg Heil), I kick players that are afk rather quick, quicker then most. Perhaps I misunderstood your point.  All in all, I'm for this idea, the real question is, how often? Would you like me to setup a poll with options?

Do it. If it passes it will improve this server a lot

What happened to the AFK manager? If it isn't a complete drag on the server, could probably re-institute it, then adjust for the time of being AFK/Spec. I'd say something around 3 minutes, give or take. No more than 5, though.

[kikofly 276 / 5,082]

not a bad idea. i woulve prefered a random map every 5 maps weve been too. just so were not stuck with 5 tryhard maps in a row or sumthing.

 

but do keep in mind someone would need to make a plugin of this(or if it exist already). and don't expect an SM would manually set it every time.
