Great idea by Pinky

[michuneo]

I'm a realist, let's face it - we can't afford insensitive moves like implementing team kill or removing some maps.

But I have to give it to Pink that maybe it would be possible to think about changing map order?

Make as massive vote here on the forum with every possible option to choose, e.g. 3 best maps or whaeva. I know, not representative but in times when everyone have to have an account here - not so stupid again I reckon.
The best map would "descent" to the worst, thus the cycle would naturally "die out" at the end of the cycle thus speeding a bit coolest maps again - of course if not many players would be playing at a time.
It's a change after all but I'd be tempted to play Hue68, Saigon68 or LZA all within like 6 rounds :evil:

What do you guys think about that?

I'm not sure this will work, but I say we trial it either way. FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD! No one ever got ANYWHERE of importance by being stagnant. And we all know that word describes this dying game to a T. That is not to malign any awesome and hugely positive efforts to keep it alive and even grow our playerbase of late, but the truth is its a shadow of its former glory.

The plan you 2 are describing is player-centric which I like. We host an official vote in English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Canadagoose-maplesyrup-anese, Russian, Polish, Czech, Afrikaans...etc With plenty of time to make our choices. Once and for all showing which maps are best and which are worst. Then order them as such for say 1 week or 2.

The only thing id suggest is we compile some data first. Say for 2 weekends we keep things the same and count attendance as compared to 2 adjusted map weekends.

Should the data prove favorable, maybe we should examine why that is and perhaps take a REAL HARD THINK about whether we need the lower tier maps at all. Should the data prove unfavorable we can go about our lives and forget the notion that we have any semblance of control over a declining game built 10+ years ago.

I realize I'm asking our administration to do more work, something it doesn't need at the moment. But id also be willing to help towards that end.

After all, we all want the same godamn thing; to MAKE BFV GREAT AGAIN #MBGA!

LOL That's the spirit RoBo!!

We're not in rush anywhere and it's indeed a good idea to make at least 2-3 week vote preceded by another period of 'advertising' it via e.g. serverchat messages for players not reading forums. Ice had a great 3rd party site with votes for the clanwar so we could repeat that move.

I won't be able to translate the announcement to Czech but Polish will do Though probably in most cases google translate will do.

We can even make a vote whether we want to accept results of that 'referendum' and implement any changes to the current map order.

We got time but why not to give it a shot

Pinky I thought you only liked hot blondes and Peteware can you kill Pinky more often please

I am feelin' the love! Love you turds even though I find it difficult that I must kill you on the battlefield. V is getting weak and easier to take out. I'm gonna resort to the knife just to give you guys a chance.
