Map Vote's to keep old never played maps.

[Omegxkid]

OK, so about a month or so ago we posted a list of maps that are just never ever played, or no one likes! because we are trying to drop our 27 page map list some (thats a big list BTW). We will be voting to keep a total of 3 of the 21 maps that got listed for deletion (that is 1 in every 7 maps, so do not just vote because u think the map is nastalgic in some way), The voting will be set up like a fighting tournament system, every 3 days I will post a vote for 3 maps untill we get to 21, each map that wins will push on to the next voting line ups, as for the maps that do not they will have one more chance later to make a come back. If a map gets 0 vote's to be saved it will be put on the remove list and taking out of the voting all together and will not be seen again (sorry maps that suck). I am going to put up the list of all the maps that are going to be on the voting polls down below on this page so no one is like OMFG I did not see that this was going to be a map we are voting on..! I would like everyone to ask the people on the Zm/Ze servers if they do not have a forum name/ID to please make one and vote (this way no one can say the voting is fixed ) it will also help to build the IBIS community (this is something we would all like to see happen *or so I would and hope u as well do*). I almost forgot to say this but you can only vote on one of the 3 maps listed each 3 days they are up for voting so chose well! (Or for the less inclined to read what i just said Do Not Just Vote Think about it silly trolls )

Keep the others as they are good maps, you just have to have played them a couple times and not be stupid. Once you have an idea of what to do they are great, especially back when the server was actually filled with good players.

However remove the new abandoned mall, it may have fixed the one illegal spot but it is a terrible map and is more than likely the map Omega wants removed. The old one is a good map aside from the one spot.

[Omegxkid]

Lol b1ack, the reason we are only going to keep 3 is because we just have way to many maps (and a lot of them people just bitch about when we end up on them if an admin is not on), and to the other guy who said keep 8 Zm_ghs_abdandon_mall (this map is a map we have 2 of and that one is smaller with less hiding places, and it also has a room in it that is off limits so it is going to just be easy to remove it). anyway please let everyone know that you play with so everyone knows about it and if they do not have a forum account, tell them get off that lazy ass and make one to save the map u want .

[Bane of Soldiers]

So please enlighten me, why do we want to remove maps en masse? Many of these maps are decent, some of them even good.


What is wrong with a lot of maps? Does every generation of players not complain of "overplayed maps?" Zombie mod is not some vanilla PUB server; variety is a spice of life.

We are cutting down the list because we are going to add more maps (or so that is what Zero would like to do) and most of the listed maps are never played by anyone due to everyone wants to RTV as soon as they land on them, also a lot of the maps listed are missing stuff now or out of date or even broken. Also BladeTwinSwords the speed duel's are on WTFHaX not bumfights, 8. Zm_ghs_abdandon_mall - Classic is a copy of a map we have that is not as good as the other one as it has less places to hide as i said above.

So please enlighten me, why do we want to remove maps en masse? Many of these maps are decent, some of them even good.

[Bane of Soldiers]

Indeed, there are a number of maps better off deleted. I still don't think as many as "all but three" should be deleted and I find your list as faulty as some of the maps in it.

the speed duel's are on WTFHaX not bumfights

^Reason enough for me to believe someone else should be making this list.

[B1ackOut]

Oh lol, I did not see the only 3 part. But yea, If we seek to remove lots of maps we shouldn't remove any of the actually good maps, there must be more shit maps on this server than those in that list. Also the adandoned mall map v2 needs to go as opposed to the first, because IT is the shit version with few actually defendable barricades. May look like more and might be bigger but in terms of actual survivability it is lacking. The one on this list has been played plenty through the years and for good reason...Its good. Also a few slays is a enough way to stop the illegal spot as most of the regs will catch on quickly if they do not already know.

I personally would not ask EVERYONE in server because you cannot make everyone happy. Also many of the people in the server now are still new to zm, or suck too much to really be allowed a vote. Not trying to bias those players but the main votes should come from the experienced players who have played the maps several times and know all the pros and cons about all the maps. Again I don't mean to discredit the less experienced but I do not want people choosing our maps based on a 1-2 times playing them.

Just in MY honest opinion, excluding the newer ze maps I have not played (of which there are many), this is my list of maps that should be under consideration for removal. Although some are (sadly) played occasionally they are all poorly made or bad in terms of actual fun and survivability. I do not feel we should remove only not played maps, rather we should encourage the playing of them, and remove the large number of bad maps.

If you can, try to run through the list of maps in order Friday before the voting. I personally haven't been here very long and don't pay attention to map names :P. So a refresher would be nice. You could also announce it in game to the people on at the time so if they didn't know about the voting they can go make an account and be ready for when your done running through the maps.
