You're not supposed to drive solo. And at objective, your teammate opening the garage can be bombed as well. A fix would be to cover that area in the map so it can't be bombed.

I don't drive solo, I meant you can't shield because faget A gets out to open.

While I do think it's ironic that you'd rage so hard over a troll post, given that you do like to troll yourself, I regret how you and some other people have taken it completely seriously. That was not my intent and I apologise, although as you may note I am still quite irritated at the reply.

So. Let's be serious for a minute. It was a perfectly reasonable request (in essence if not in wording) and not even a commentary on Dragonfly balance. If DF maps are kept at the current weight they may as well not exist because they can and will be vetoed every single time by racers, regardless of what the actual reason for their veto is.

EDIT: Apparently you're not the only one who took that completely seriously. Bono did as well. I posted like that because I presumed you'd actually realise from all the line breaks and the speech patterns that it was an edited version of someone else's work. Apparently the meaning is lost on all but the most native speakers. There is one thing I do agree with in there, though, and one thing I'm tired of you raging about: calling a spade a spade, i.e. speaking honestly about the reasons for things. We know why Dragonfly maps are not being voted. Do not get into a blood fury because I happen to hold a perfectly valid opinion of why that is, because you're agreeing with me when you say why they don't vote DF maps.

I only ask for a simple thing: Either remove the Dragonfly or make it so that it's actually possible to get a Dragonfly map on. Even 0.4 will require a serious majority, considering the active pilots, to win. This ridiculous situation where those who like flying Dragonflies are given no chance of doing so because "majority is God" is hardly defensible. Please the majority by all means but stop inferring that this requires the minority to go to Hell.

I think the post was taken seriously because I kinda could imagine you meaning that seriously and by missing trollface.jpg in there. Well, whatever. And I didn't get into a blood fury about whether the statement "Dragonfly maps are not being voted" is correct or not.

> RACE-Sunshine[DragonFly][REV]: Games played: 143, Avg. Players: 14.57, Avg. Match Duration: 18:22, Total Time Played: 43:48:29, Mass RQs: 3, +/- (total) 116.16, (+/- per game) 0.81
> RACE-Sunshine[NoDragonFly][REV]: Games played: 82, Avg. Players: 14.38, Avg. Match Duration: 14:53, Total Time Played: 20:21:14, Mass RQs: 1, +/- (total) 111.14, (+/- per game) 1.36

Doesn't look like what you said is true. And not for SnowRace either. I don't see why DragonFly should be removed when it doesn't cause mass RQs or why undervoting the NoDragonFly version for Sunshine (SnowRace doesn't have any btw.) - minority is who? Or, how much players? And isn't majority sent to Hell when the minority is to be pleased?

What a disgusting world we live in where people are allowed to vote the maps they want to play.

Please, kill me now.

You could make a seperated Dfly option just like AS or Race or OLDZ
