    Map rotation thread

    So fgtz, are you tired of playing the same god damn TTT maps over and over? Well too bad because those maps are gona stay.

    What this thread is actually about is removing maps that are never played and are therefore pointless to keep on.

    "But Spartan, wouldn't that mean we would only have like 5 maps on the server?"

    Listen here you little shit, I have spent some time compiling some hard facts about map frequency. Statistics do not lie, and I will put an end to the shitty "5 maps" argument. There are currently 71 maps to choose from on the server. This number needs to drop massively.

    First, lets look at this cool ass graph I made. (Edit: sorry map might be hard to read, here's a link to the original http://i.imgur.com/3NjTT9p.png)



    The number count on the left signifies the amount of times the map was played with a reasonable amount of players to choose (and not just someone randomly joining the server when it's empty or something) within the past month (13/03/2014 - 13/04/2014). I couldn't be arsed to go back further than a month because the averages would more than likely be the same.

    The numbers on the right indicate the percentage of the total maps that were counted, which were 861 changes. This doesn't show much else but a little perspective of how often they are played.

    "But I'm too fucking lazy and a cunt to look at the graph. Just get to the point!"

    I'll fucking wreck you m8. This is basically it in a nutshell. All of these maps were played more than 10 times in the past month and these are actually in order of most played to least played (If there's no number it's a repeat of the one above).

    ttt_67thway_v3 - 71 times
    zm_roy_the_ship - 68 times
    ttt_rooftops_a2_f1 - 63 times
    ttt_borders_b20_sgedit-1 - 52
    ttt_minecraft_b5 - 46
    dm_richland_notrap_b5 - 44

    de_westwood - 21
    ttt_datmap - 19
    ttt_bank_b3 - 17
    dm_island17
    ttt_traitorville_v2 - 12
    ttt_biocube - 11

    All of these maps weren't (less than 10).

    cs_island_b2 - 9
    ttt_amsterville_final2
    de_spooky - 8
    ttt_bb_suburbia_b3 - 7

    ttt_nightmare_church_b3

    de_brat_za_brata_2
    de_feat
    de_nightfever
    zm_countrytrain_b4
    ttt_plaza_b7
    ttt_establishment
    de_rimini
    ttt_scarisland_b1 - 1
    ttt_thething_b3fix
    ttt_woodedwidow_b7
    de_outlaws
    ttt_castle_2011_v3_day
    ttt_district_a5
    ttt_enclave_b3
    ttt_foundation
    ttt_icebreaker_finak_fix
    ttt_infini_b5 - 0

    There is of course a danger than too little maps can mean not enough variation even if once in a while, so I'm not planning on removing every map that hasn't been played at least 10 times. However, these further down the list are probably gona be removed as what is the point if nobody wants to ever vote for it?

    Now tell me your thoughts you cunts.

    I feel like a large portion of the dialog in this thread is stolen property from when Caution and I proposed a change to the Tinychat logo on the homepage.

    amsterville is good but rounds can get long which might kill the server.

    cluedo is fine and would maybe get played more if people even knew it existed

    the suburb map with the traitor/innocent objective is fine though i do not remember which one of these it is

    de_port is real nice

    canyon is ok and used to be played a lot

    nexus is fun

    enclave is good but the fixed version that is on the server is a bit buggy

    countrytrain is same as amsterville (there's 2 countrytrains on the list)

    thething is just good but others don't seem to share my view

    district is really good and would probably get played more if people knew the map and recognized the name

    Spartan's threads are funny.


    Obviously everyone has different opinions about each map. So for every map you remove, someone will get upset and cry and others won't. Also, statistics do lie. So don't base yourself too much on them. Imo, we should make a thread with a huge ass pole and pick some maps (each person can vote for like 3-4) and then remove the maps with little or no votes.

    President or not, you can't just steal mine & Xeno's words and replace 'logo' with 'ttt' and expect it to not be plagiarizing.

    I forgot that thread even existed. Also Caution, go to school you dumb nerd. Mine and Xeno's? I may not be American, but I ain't in first grade son.

    Countrytrain is on the list twice. Wat?

    Statistics DO NOT LIE. They are fact. What differs is your interpretation of the facts. Get real Sleggie.

    The maps that are never played but are good will stay. I'm wanting at least 20 - 30 maps removed from the current list.

    Also to be fair whenever the server crashes it defaults to borders. maybe a new default map is in order?

    I agree that there are many maps on the rotation which should be removed but I also firmly believe that as long as they do not negatively affect gameplay/server population then there isn't any real reason to remove them. Now obviously we should remove maps that everyone hates or never get played at all but if we end up removing enjoyable maps simply because they don't get played enough we risk players leaving because they get bored of the rotation.

    I am all for organizing an event where we go through each of the "unpopular" maps and have a vote. I suspect most players don't even know what most of those maps are. So lets find out how the community really feels about these maps shall we?

    I agree.

    I think the suburb map is project suburb and that map is cool as shit but I heard something about download time taking forever cause it's such a big map but it's a lot of fun if players are willing to wait a few minutes to download a map.


    Cloverfield is awesome
    Scarisland is pretty fun though it doesn't seem played much
