Random Map Selection?

[RadioactivFly]

If you play Survival Games a lot, then that means you play Breeze Island a lot. Period. That's the map people vote for, and that's the map that gets chosen. Occasionally, 2 is chosen instead, but it's sort of rare. Does anyone besides me actually want to play somewhere that isn't Breeze Island or Survival Games 2 every once in a while? Here are my suggestions: 1) Two maps should be randomly selected from the pool of maps, and those should be the two that people must choose from. 2) Maps should be chosen randomly rather than by voting. 3) There should be an option in the voting for a random map selection. 4) There should be a set of servers in which Breeze Island and Survival Games 2 are taken off the ballot.

PLEASE implement one of these! I haven't played a single match on the MCSG servers at Survival Games 1, Survival Games 3, or Overgrown Arena!

No. The if more people want to play on breeze let them. I personally hate the map, but if most of the players online want to play it, so be it.

And we're not entitled to ONE FREAKING MATCH that isn't on Breeze?

vote for another map and hope for the best.

Tip to get another map than 4: Wait with your Vote till you see what Map gets the second most votes and vote for it. So you don't "waste" your Vote for a map which only gets 1 or 2 votes.

That doesn't help me if Breeze Island has 12 votes and the one with the second highest has 4.

This is true for the most part. We should be entitled to that. It is true the voting system actually isn't entirely fair.
Those who don't want map 4 almost never get a map that's not map 4, whereas those who want map 4 get it almost every time.

How would you feel if you had two siblings who always got what they want over you just because they had the "majority vote"? They get what they want 95% of the time, and you get yours 5% of the time.

Right now, MCSG contains two main groups of people - people who don't really care much what map gets played as long as it's not four, and people who only want to play four. One group rarely gets what they want and the other is spoiled and always gets it. If they both got each map an even amount of times, then it would be more fair than it is now. For a single game, the "the majority wants to play it" is the case, but over several games, it's just unfair. The majority shouldn't always win, whether it be in debates, or votes on MCSG. The thing is, everyone who wants to play map 4 has already played it many, many times, but everyone who wants to play any other map hasn't played it more than once in the last 3 days.

I know there really isn't an easy way to fix something like that, though, because no matter how many times it's suggested for a change in the voting system, it never happens.

Amen to that

I HATE Breeze Island. That's my opinion. Every time I join a server I try to get people to vote for the second place map and it rarely happens. If I complain, I'm just told to go to a 48 tribute server but I enjoy the 24 tribute servers more. I think the random two maps idea is a good one. Its like the call of duty map selecting system. That system creates a nice diverse experience; you hardly get the same map twice. I hope this change gets implemented because I'm sure as hell sick of Breeze Island.
