In these days the mcsg builder-community blossoms, we now have many, many maps from various places and bulder-teams featuring all kinds of innovative contraptions and concepts. In my opinion this is a glorious thing and should be encouraged to continue the way it is.
The problem is that the new voting system nerfs this.
And with that I don't mean that the entire system is wrong, what I mean is that it could use some minor tweaks. The current system works with 3 alternatives, first a skip option that is never used, mcsg 4, or any other random map made by either Vareide or the community. I can see why they want people to play vareides maps as they are the "official" maps and that they want to give Vareide attention for the great work he and his team put into making these 4 incredible maps. Though I fail to see why you would want mcsg 4 to become the most hated and over-played object in mcsg, because the way you force people to play it over and over again is not desirable by either you or the players.
I have come to the conclusion that always letting the player choose between either a community map amongst many other community maps or one map that everyone always have the alternative to pick and therefore knows all about results in paranoia about choosing other new maps. My suggestion would alter this turnout entirely with just one little change:
Keep the system with 2 alternatives and a skip option, but make one of the alternatives feature only random Vareide-maps and the other alternative randomly pick a community map. This way all maps will be played and enjoyed by all no matter how many different maps are added.
