RTV Needs to e Extended

[Doctordan]

As i play on the minigames server every 80secs we are on a new map barly enough time to play 2 round this was not a problem originally but now it is quite lame every 2 rounds a map change i think it needs to be extended to at least 6mins before we can rtv

No. If we hate a map, we need to rtv.

Something needs to be fixed. I haven't gone into the Minigames server very frequently as of late. Know why? You people have bob2 up for 2 or 3 hours at a time, play trains for maybe half an hour, a random grab bag as the third map(75% of the time it happens to be Big City) and then back to bob2 or maybe the first bob for hours at a time to repeat the cycle. It's gotten really fucking stale. For the past 3 days I think around this hour bob2 is always the map being played, and it stays that way for far too long.

RTV I think has some part in this, whenever there's a deviation in this cycle the map gets trashed less than 5 minutes after the map switch back to the same old shit that's been going on.

Which is absolutely true. Bob2 and Bob are getting so annoying once you are trough and have to wait hours to rtv again. In my opinion, big city is overplayed and does not belong on minigames since it actually only involves sniping the enemy and maybe a few vehicles, but that's about it. I myself am a very frequent player of minigames, and yet I never got to play over half of the maps on the server, because most of the time many players just spam "1" without even looking what it is, which is getting very very annoying.

What needs to be done is putting the rtv-timer on at least triple the ammount it is now. Many players rtv after their first or second death on something like obstaclez or puzzle, and only because the fail, doesn't mean we gotta change the map. The second thing is putting the nextmap-timer down a bit and make more frequent mapvotes. That should do it for now. I doubt my voice is ever going to get heard though.

all this is true but the best way to allow maps to be played for a decent amount of time is to extend thetime till we can rtv ,as for bob and bob2 they are killing off are regulars players who get bored with the repetitveness of it then if there is no regs, spaming and over all douchness will overrun the server leading to the down fall of mini games server something has to be done my suggestion is remove bob1 at least and maybe bob 2 to allleviate the overall bobness of the sever.
P.S side thought admins come to servers to have fun if a server isnt fun admins dont come if admins dont come shitheads will rule
The die hards of bob will be disapointed but majority will aprove of a variety of games

it should be raised, but the reason its on bob2 for so long is because even when the time limit runs out, the round never ends to let the map change

I agree, I think we may have to take the maps off rotation OR change the roudntime back to 9 minutes and not letting it go on forever without changing.

I know alot of people enjoy playing it and more people discover the map each day and want to complete it, I wonder if maybe a 24/7 10 slot bob 1 + bob 2 server may work. Then we could take the maps off the minigames.

[Doctordan]

that would be awsome becasue i enjoy bob alot but not all the time

and going back to 9mins is what we need

TBH Paul, that sounds like a good idea, but, it will probably get played alot for a week and then be deserted until we close it. Basically, a fad server.

Not necessarily. If it is only 10 slots, this server will stay full for a long long time. Everytime bob or bob2 are on the server, the server suddenly gets full and stays full for as long as people are on it. So if you only have 10 slots, there will have to be a lot of slot-sharing and that could possibly in players getting sick of it and buying reserved slots on here.
