Alternative Voting system

Glacier (Assault)
Protocore (Assault)
SkyRace (Rais)
Mercury (Assault)

I miscounted, was four. Still emptied server.

Skyrais is not assault and Glacier is pushing it considering the ion tank is so free

Whether you consider it assault or not, it's attacking and defending which makes people leave the game, I don't even mind assault, but I'm saying nobody plays anything with 2 players on the server.

Hmm, there was like 0-1 votes for RACE in the games though :/

But yeah, chainvoted AS quit. Perhaps we could drop back to 1 AS game out of last 4 max.

[Azarael]

Isn't that how it currently is?

[iZumo]

Well with the nerf the degrade isn't that hard to actually prevent it.

You need to remember 4 assault games can easily be 3 hours. 4 race maps are usually not even 1 hour.

So you get this long period where race players wont join, which is why it gradually empties. At the end of this 3 hour period, the 'assault players' do not suddenly decide to vote race, so the server stays empty on an assault map.

Maybe disable assault from being voted when the player count is less than 10.

The playercount dropped below 10 on Glacier, not on the previous maps. Also, don't forget there is nothing wrong with 3v3 AS in non-peak hours.

I think that with current system I'll simply disable AS for the period when 1 out of 4 last games was AS. Sadly, even AS players have to be treated like complete tards in this matter :/

Also among RACE players, there are players willing to play on empty server and begin the population, on AS that's such players are exception.

I'm aware of that, as I said, I'm not against assault, I'm not trying to champion its removal.

I just don't see the point of voting a big assault map like Hera or Mercury when its only 4v4, both teams will get bloody nowhere and be more likely to leave. Glacier is a fine example really, since with low player counts it's increasingly hard to stop the ion tank, so people will get frustrated.

[Azarael]

Hard disable AS after two maps in a row and keep the 0.35 base penalty.

Add Hera, Glacier and TheCanyon to the high-playercount only list, as TheCanyon is also used to kill the server.
