Suggestion About The Time Waiting For mymap +ia

[DIKY]

As the title says. Can we change the limit we have to wait for the map of our choise? or for +ia?
I think it is too much to wait 2 and a half hours... i happen to visit vanilla just for those 2 or 3 maps i like but they are recently played so i just exit quake.
I dont know if this was ever discused or it is a dead-end idea but i would love to see the limit redused to 60-90 minutes

I would agree with Diky as 2 hours+ is way too long. I do remember people abusing Inf ammo when all the Mymap parameters were first available and each game became a joke. My guess it was the younger set that was driving this. However its fun maybe once an hour. When I request it, it's always on a map I haven't tried before. Each map has a different dynamic to it with IA. For example I've never tried Space or Train. These are slow maps but could be spicy with inf ammo.

This is challenging.  The vanilla server used to be just as popular before mymap existed at all.  You would connect to the server, and it would be proceeding linearly through its rotation (single-player + dm maps), and you just played on whatever map was up at the time.

When mymap was added we got complaints from folks who preferred vanilla without mymap.  Also, we especially got complaints about certain maps being played too often, and +ia too often, etc.

So, I kept increasing the delay between "same map" requests and +ia, until I stopped getting complaints.

So, I'm not sure what the solution is.  It seems like one of those situations where it's impossible to please everybody.

However, if you only like 2 or 3 maps out of the 77 maps available on vanilla, it's possible you may be playing on the wrong server.

hehe that's not the case! I enjoy 95% of the vanilla maps!
I just usually miss out on the popular ones such as city1 because most players mymap-it when they have the chance!
well if there is no light to it it's ok but i felt like saying it to see if others would like to have the time limit lowered too.

How about having a vote going on when there are too few people.
vanilla mostly has US players so its packed full. but due to the hour difference between europe and the US when the US go to sleep the server ends up having 3 or 4 players. this morning I played with 2 other people TRAIN and SPACE map it took forever 
if there was a vote option we could end those to play a smaller map.

+ia is fun sometimes..

just grab the chaingun and hold down mouse1, die, repeat.

I love mymap strike -ws -h -a
we should have a server dedicated to that.

Map rocks.

Feel free to stop by the sheridan server when ever. I tend to refresh it as often as I can for a chance to play somebody there... but you might not have much fun.
