Map choices on HOG

another problem is the server crash. you can check what maps you have played earlier, up to 5 maps.
but if the server crashes you cant see them via command.

You admins can check logs! One friend have one script page, and on this page, shows all !setnext command. if "hog staff" want, i can give this scrip. So, just a one double click and you gonna see all last maps that were setted.

You may be right about me playing on the wrong time, but lets not just assume that just because a map has two tanks
or APCs that the map is considered heavy assets.
,
Marlin = A map I see on map votes almost every single time. Mediocre in terms of assets.
Sareema = Another map I see on the map votes every single time, mediocre (Sareema Alt is a joke of a layout and should never be played. It is incredibly unbalanced in terms of assets and should never be played).

Black Gold and Hades Peak are all heavy asset maps because there are numerous tanks, APC, and CAS. By the way, have you checked which mode and layout they have been played on? Also, can you not just check one date but others? For example, check 28th where two vietnam maps where played back to back because there were only vietnam maps to vote for, and then two INS map (not including skirmish), and then more INF AAS maps. I am sure that many regulars witnessed the map choices that were put on the map vote.

If this suggestion is too much of a hassle, I am more than willing to help with the map votes as I am fair and knowledgeable.

Haley has a point. People will always complain about map choices. But people still play the maps. Even when I ask for nap suggestions from people. Players always choose the popular maps. Even when I put a map that hasn't been played in a very long time in, the players always seem to complain about that map being overplayed. I use the history command and see that a map has not been played in the last 5 rounds and it was played earlier. 5 rounds is like 5-10 hours of gameplay. Depending on how fast teams lose. That's a pretty good time frame to play a map again.

Please try out my suggestion. Try it for a week or 3 days. Today, I already see the effects of the suggestion as Eggs&Bacon Cody put his effort into map votes, balancing out the maps. Little to no one complained. We went to Khami, Yamalia, and then Tad Sae Night (At least on all chat or team chat, no one seemed to complained).

I think it is safe to say that it is guaranteed that there will always be people that complain about maps. It is whether the amount of complaints are small or large. I am confident that my suggestion will lower the amount of complaints as long as the map votes are balanced. As a very active regular player in your server and from my past experience, the most complaints comes from the map votes being all one sided.

Also, HOG should implement a new rule where excessively or insultingly complaining about maps in all chat or !r is temp bannable (as long as the map choices is balanced). There are those who complain about every map except for that one map he/she desires and, to be honest, their opinion should not be taken into consideration because they are not willing to play any other maps and patiently wait their turn.

If you can trust myself and a few others who regularly plays and know the rules, we will do our absolute best to make sure that our reports are accurate and will get rid of those asshats. We will sort of be like an ex-admin or something, where we report asshats and you can simply just ban/kick the offenders without going into much detail. I am starting to see that all the asshattery always pile up on admins, so hopefully reports from regulars you trust will make it easier.
