Map Rotation : your opinion.

Hello every members!

I would like to suggest you something about the server. People are getting bored sometimes of always playing Orange X3. I know it is the best orange x map evaaaa but changes doesn't hurt.

That's why I introduce my new concept : THE MAP ROTATION!

I think we should have like 4 to 5 orange maps including X3.
These maps could have a time limit of an hour. After this hour, a vote windows pops-up asking people what they would like to play for next map. We could also have the "extend 20 minutes" choice so if a map is really loved, it can stays long! This way, we could have more diversity that would make more people happy and bring more members to the clan. I know some people are not big fan of orange x3 but like to play with the Pulp members so that way, we could have a happy community.

Let me know what you guys think about this. I decided to post it in general because I think it concerns everyone!

Thanks for your suggestions / comments / ideas / 20$ bills that you're gonna give me.

I agree with nicobbq. Maybe even add a few custom maps such as turbine(once in a while).

I agree but we should have maps that can relate maybe differ in game types like Intel, Cp, Push the Cart.

Cause in all mind yes I love CP on Orange but as Nico has stated too much of it and I want to leave the server. So I'm with Nico maybe create Pulp Map rotations of maps pulp members created were we've all come to a senses.


I love you guys

Really good Idea!

I dunno... I kinda like having it 24/7 Orange_X3.

I guess you could allow RTV/nominate/votemap, and have it change maps at the end of the round after the timelimit runs out (or allow people to vote to extend it, as you said).
I don't want it changing maps in the middle of a match without an RTV, though.

You do because you don't play often but this map gets boring when you've played it 4 hours in a single day lol!

I have stated this in another topic before but i can't find it because of that damn search function not working properly.

This server started out as an Orange_x3 server because that was the whole basis of succes for IKtR. People come to our server because they know what they can find there: orange!

So maybe adding a couple of orange variants could not hurt but i don't think adding completely different maps and game types to our Orange server is a good idea. We have switched maps before and what happens:

-while switching to another (custom) map people leave the game (always!), so when the next map starts you have less players
-some of the regulars who want to play orange wont connect because they are looking for orange...so of them will connect of course
-i don't think it would be cool to change in the middle of the game, i have to agree on that with Zurkov, because playing orange really can be exiting because you want to get the last cp. So changing it while some players are in that rush can be a bummer. So it would have to be on rounds end. We could also set a timelimit for 90 minutes and automate a vote after that. If the timelimit reaches 0 we get into stalemate and sudden death round

But again, these are big changes. Right now i don't see any players on the server and it would be great to see some people on there all the time, so we still need more members in the clan AND community. If we have some better financials we could also setup a second server for custom maps, i think we should strive to make that happen within 3 months.

In the meantime we can do some experiments with mapvoting.

Yeah, a rotation sounds pretty good. I think it would be best to start off with a orange map rotation? Personally, stock maps run slow for me, and i find them boring.
Rtv sounds good, as long as its at the end of the round. Players joining will always pose some trouble, so just a small rotation... and knowing most of the reg's, the rtv will probably be to extend the map.

The rtv plugin is not working on this server, we are using custom vote but i'm sure we can work something out.
