I think maybe if a map has been played with in the last 10 play list it should not be able to be nominated just to keep things fresh for everyone.

Isn't it like this already? Or is this just in GG mod? I was under the impression (even in ZM) if a map was played, when you nominate, you cannot nominate that map since it has been recently played.

I'd also like to note, I know LOTR maps are always on map votes, and it does seem dull to play, but you all have to admit LOTR maps bring in a SHIT load of people.

I don't know if it does or does not do this for nominate, or how far back it might go, but the automatic map selection certainly has no such thing in its algorithm. It's commonplace to see the same maps come up in random map votes as have been played within the last 10 or fewer, and they ALWAYS get voted for by the stupid map whores.

Also problematic is the number of total shit maps on ZM, though... maybe need to start going through and culling those. I can understand people not wanting to go to something they don't know when there's a 70-80% chance of it being complete garbage (especially an issue with ZM maps, which I don't think helps their already reduced popularity).

You are correct on that. LOTR and Titanic always bring the ppl in.
