It's no secret the the average burrbooer dislikes egypt, yet the server goes there so often because it's frequently on the default vote. Is there anyway we can change what maps go on the vote when no one has nominated anything? I assuming we could just do a poll on the forums to vote for what maps we want to see in there.
I would like to have the stock map pl_barnblitz on the map vote one day

I have to add them manually to the list, its on there now
Everyone knows I hate egypt (more just to spite Moose than for any other reason, really).
But here's how it works.
IF-Remove stock map from rotation
THEN-Server is empty 80% of the week
You can't get rid of stock maps, the server needs them to stay populated. Even if it's just one map, because then it turns into "Oh x was removed so why can't we remove y" "No I like y remove z".
tl;dr NOPE.AVI and DEAL WITH IT NURDS
or we could remove egypt and play a dozen better stock maps instead

the x vs y is why I suggested we have a poll or voting mechanism of some sort. democracy! (crow is fighting for it, use it)

I can't either, but I'm a fan of using exaggeration to get my point across.

I recommend being proactive, and getting into the habit of nominating something at the very start of each map, or in between rounds. Or you can remind people to nominate something in chat during a setup time, a lot of new players don't even know that its possible to nominate a map or to rtv.
If you're on a map you don't like and no one is rtving, try playing your least-used class, or use a weird loadout to switch things up
 Recently I've been having fun lighting things on fire and solving practical problems

I doubt the server will be devastated by the lack of shitty stock maps.
You know how yukon wasn't on the list?
Yeah I didn't hear anything radical about it before either.
"Oh wait, I can't nominate egypt anymore! OR GORGE or degrootkeep and yukons been gone forever...."
*2 second silence before server erupts in screams*
"OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN"
*server is empty forever*
It's all relative and subjective to each person.
Thus, it wouldn't make much sense to remove a stock map. Majority of people don't like egypt, that's cool. Don't remove it, though.
I'm really disappointed that yukon isn't on our list. The design on yukon is good.
These maps at least add variety.
Also, people not being able to suffer through a bad map once or twice a day is why Red ends up on gorge and badwater 3 to 4 times a day each. That should be more of a problem than worrying about an unpopular stock map.
The plebeian f2p'ers rarely rtv customs, so when regulars aren't voting customs either, we're stuck in a whirlpool of stale maps, regardless of how good they are.
For all the hate egypt gets, I see it keep the server full more often than not. Â (I like the map but I don't nominate it all the time anymore)Â There's a long list of stock maps I would remove before it, but I think removing any stock maps at all is a horrible idea.

This is the #1 thing I hate about seeding. Â Go to badwater/gorge to seed -> server fills up -> after a couple of maps people vote badwater/gorge again. Â >
