No, You did not. I was asking you guys to not get to over board with thing.

And yes it is possible to do that to the rankings I saw a few servers that did that. For How easy it is, I am not too sure, It could be really hard too do.

I guess I'll add most kills per map to the original post. Active admins will have to talk to fire if they want these things implemented though.

Is it possible that we could change on dodgeball, that stats are recorded with the bot, only when there are no other added things such as ffa and vote rocket speed? For ex.- speed stats and air blasts in one round

I agree with Random, and I personally think the goomba plugin should also be added, bhop maybe given a chance to be added, and the map prison yard.

EDIT: I think /dbstats should be counted for all of the plugins, /vrs /ffa and vpvb.

This is rather a hit or miss, but I'll put this out there anyways.

The dodgeball server is frequently visited by newcomers, and that's great. New people always make the community fresh and fun. One problem though that I (and I'm sure other regulars) have, is that these people aren't acquainted with the tfdb maps. They don't know what maps are good, fun, likeable or too big, too bright, unappreciated; You get it. Most new players either vote based on the map name, or it's position on the voting screen. (Most I've seen always vote 4, the closest key to WASD)

Most of the time, these unthoughtful votes aren't consequential to the map that actually gets picked. However, sometimes, these votes actually go through, and we end up in a map like speed_tfdb, where each round lasts 5 minutes, and players who have died early need to wait a long time to respawn. This problem is annoying enough to make me go out of my way to write a suggestion to stop it

I found two solutions to this problem. You can reply if you find others.

#1 Restrict players with 1 day or less (of playtime) the ability to vote. It's not their fault that they don't know which maps are which. Give them some time to explore the current map rotation that we usually go through. (If you think 1 day of playtime is way too much, 12 hours or 6 could also work.)

#2 Remove certain bad (or simply unpopular) maps from the roster. This stops them from voting anything bad, like catland_tfdb for example, and also resolves the sad issue where if we forget to nominate a map, we're left with crappy options. I reckon if we did a survey, 40% of the maps in there are downright ignored.

This was my suggestion. Please leave your thoughts. I just felt the need to say it.

This is a common problem amongst all servers. Especially ff2 or prophunt as some maps are way too big or way too small for a certain amount of players.

I don't like the idea of restricting people to vote. Neither to remove maps as the choice for db is already very limited due to what "the better players" considers good maps
In a situation like that partyisland would be removed but that map is great fun every once in a while with players that's not comparative. Speed is also quite frequently played. As is some of the other silly maps that we have.
Dodgeball doesn't evolve around the courts, pingpong, octagon, gym and prisonyard.

Either convince people to vote for the map you want our encourage them to rtv when they've seen the new map.

Not surprised this response came. Somewhat understand it.

I'm actually happier that a reply that I got a reply that disagrees with me rather than no reply at all. :)

I don't really like sticking with certain maps all the time and it's fun to switch to something kooky and fun once in a while.

Hi folks, I'm back with b2 of tfdb_toolsheds. I've changed the setting to a clifftop arena and removed the ravine separating the teams, instead using the natural division of the cliffs as the separation. I've also added a pair of taller cliffs with a health pack for the intrepid dodgeballer to attempt to jump to and gain a height advantage. Please let me know what you think, I would like to continue developing the map with your feedback.
