 Funmap Rotation
I know I don't really have much say on what goes on in here because I'm not a n00b yet, but I have a suggestion that I know a few other people would enjoy if carried out.
The Funmap Rotation should be snow and scoutzknivez. Not just snow. There is rarely an admin in there when we want to change it to scoutz. I'm not complaining or anything, but IMO snow gets old after awhile. This would also probably bring more people into the server. I know I would be there for scoutz.
Just a suggestion, if you like it please comment so we could maybe get this to happen.

I think there should be a rotation period. Just iceworld over and over again is just dumb.

It sounds good from an end-user aspect, but not from an administrative standpoint.
Iceworld attracts many many people. There are other funmaps on there, and there's almost always an admin around; it's not hard to switch the map.

Maybe there could be a rotation like:
fy_iceworld_cz
fy_iceworld_cz
fy_iceworld_cz
scoutzknivez
fy_iceworld_cz
fy_iceworld_cz
fy_iceworld_cz
scoutzknivez
etc.
...or something?

would it be possible to do like 3 rounds of ice and then a random map from the server to mix things up?

Well, G, the reason I posted is because the last 3-5 times I have been in there, there has been no admin. And the last time there WAS an admin, he refused to switch it. I even asked "before you leave, can you make a vote for scoutz?"
But, anyways, anything other than
iceworld
iceworld
iceworld
iceworld
iceworld
iceworld
is better. Maybe:
iceworld
iceworld
scoutz
iceworld
iceworld
scoutz
I don't know, I realize that iceworld brings in many new n00bs and I understand your point of view. But scoutzknivez brings alot of n00bs also. Usually better n00bs.
Just my $.02. 8)

You're going to have to pay me $0.03 for using my previously posted idea without citing me as a source. PLAGIARIST.

Any map can bring in a lot of players. But particularly Iceworld, because it's largely played on as a Funmap and is the most recognizeable. Scoutz might bring in better n00bs, but unless you're coming in trying to join certain subclans, then I don't think skill is really an issue when coming into n00b. Or else I wouldn't have gotten in.

If there's no admin in the server, there is always one on AIM.

You said: Quote: fy_iceworld_cz fy_iceworld_cz fy_iceworld_cz scoutzknivez fy_iceworld_cz fy_iceworld_cz fy_iceworld_cz scoutzknivez I said: Quote: iceworld iceworld scoutz iceworld iceworld scoutz
If you cannot tell the difference you are an incompetent fool! :wink: ♥
Anyways, this was just an idea. Clearly the admins are against it but the public is for it. But it is ultimately up to the admins. :(
I'm just saying, I've ASKED admins to change it. I've even said "Could you vote to change it to scoutzknivez BEFORE you leave?" and I get absolutely no response whatsoever. Most admins completely ignore me. Even if we have 2-3 people asking, if an admin wants to play iceworld he will not respond. I'm just saying that, yes, iceworld brings in members. But should the funmaps server not be for the pleasure of [n00b] and [rct] as well as possible new recruits?
That's just my reasoning. I can see all of the admins' points. They are good. It is there decision.
That's all. 8)

Well if they are a "possible recruit" they probably joined the server to play the map it was on (a.k.a. iceworld).
Also, when you're asking admins:
1) if they don't want to play it, they probably won't put up a vote
2) make sure you're communicating both through text and sound
3) if you get absolutely no response, that sucks but get in ventrilo or talk to someone on aim or something, I think the majority of admins are actually helpful people. Theoretically, they should (in most cases) be willing to put up a vote even if they don't want to go to that map. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
4) I don't know (elders input please?) but maybe admins ignoring you would be something worth reporting. I would try the other means first though.

Understood. As I said before, it was just an idea. 8) I'll just find an admin to change it or something.. I know there are a few out there that like scoutz. :)

simply put: Go find a higher-up Admin and ask to change it. Some of these lesser admins still have their heads up their asses. Most of us higher-up admins LOVE to play scoutz, so if you'd come into the main server and ask someone to change it, we'd be glad to do it for you.
Edit: oh, and by the way...polls wont do anything. The funmaps server is Genocide's server, so he'll do what he wants with it.
