Once breeze island came out, people played almost every time. The mods said it would pass. When it did, they played Sg1 every round (that I played). Then they can out with a bunch of community maps. The only ones played where those 4. Then it happened again when Sg4 came out. Now finally back to where we started and breeze island, Sg1, and Sg4 are the only ones being played. (for me at least)

Has this happened to anyone else?

They're all being played in my experience. It takes a LOT of server hopping for me to actually find maps I like :p

It won't be removed you may complain that it is overplayed, but the people in the servers are wanting to play it and the one with most votes always wins.

I didn't say I wanted them removed. Maybe have a decreased chance of appearing on the vote list. But not removed.

I think this voting system is the most fair one that has appeared so far, since it doesn't show every map, and so maybe Breeze won't always pop up in the polls, but there's almost guaranteed to be at least one map you'd like to play.

From my experience this is a very fair voting system and I have seen a few favourite maps such as Sg1,Breeze and Sg4, but other maps such as SG2 and Teweren are popular too. The other maps are played too but these maps are played far more often. The least favourite map appears to be MCSG ruins though

The voting system still isn't perfect, but it's definitely an improvement from before.
Right now, the problem is that with so many options to choose from each /skip, you can literally toggle through almost every map until you find Survival Games 4 or Breeze Island. Personally, I do like quick games, so I have to admit I skip until those maps appear too - however, that's the exact problem. Almost every lobby now, people will spam /skip until Breeze Island or SG4 appears, then it will just keep saying "0 skipvotes received" every time afterwards until the game starts, regardless of the other options, because they just wanted SG4/Breeze.

I propose that the amount of options to choose from is lowered down to 3 - 2 felt too little, and 4 feels too much now. Maybe 3 is the magic number.

Like G33ke said, if map bigots with amazing keyboard skills log on first, they can quickly skip the maps to the ones they want.
I'm not saying the voting is perfect, it just needs to be tweaked just a bit so you can only start skip votes after 6 or more people are on.

I like the voting system just how it is the most. Keep it and deal with the fact that Breeze and SG4 are the most popular maps.
