How many maps/how long should the Map Rotation be?

[leon]

February 1 we played Dria V18. I tried to vote it today but it still locked. Why???

[pooty]

Its 15 maps, however long it takes human players to cycle through.
It looks like its available now. It might be that some of the during the day players select it and then its out of rotation for 15 maps.

Dria V18 is still locked (7 days already), AJR V21 locked, minos V21 locked. Impossible to play maps with good flyers several days. But mega arena yesterday was played too in a row. I don't complain but that's discrimination.

From the stats page:

Dria V18 was last played, from what I can tell:
Tue, Feb 01 2022, 9:54:48 PM [UTAN] Omnip)o(tentS 2.0 Ons... Onslaught ONS-Dria-Randomizer-V18

Don't know why it would still be out-of-rotation.

Mega-Arena sometimes I'll force it if everyone on the server at that moment agrees. Yesterday, it was early in the day and only a few were playing. A lopsided quick match ended early and everyone was screaming again, again. So I reloaded it for them.

Don't know why it would still be out-of-rotation.

Someone is likely playing it during the day by themselves. We don't track 1 player matches in the stats. When I posted it was available for vote on Feb 6th.

8pm. Just played sweet home, then I checked maps. All three randomizer maps I was talking about are locked (I have pictures of those maps from today).
I think somebody does it on purpose. Some ppl with high ping, “tank” guys or mega lovers (take mega-shoot-die, take mega-shoot-die… and 1 hour like this).
Can we find out who makes them locked?

I'll look something isn't right, either some kind of bug, someone is going in a voting those out of rotation.

[pooty]

It appears the rotation is working, I'll keep an eye out during the day and see who's voting those in.

Culprit has been identified, as deliberatly forcing maps out of rotation. Admins will decide what to do. This qualifies, under server rules as being a dick.

The culprit, who may be named later, is a player coming in afternoon and deliberately voting certain maps out of rotation. They've done it repeatedly and consistently for the last 5 or 6 days... logs show them voting a map, then immediately voting another and so on.

Anyone in the community have any thoughts what the course of action should be?

In the meantime, I am going to reduce the rotation to 5

I saw someone a few days ago ripping thru maps. I think it was over the weekend, not during prime time. There was someone else spectating and the person would vote, load, wait till voting was an option and vote another map. Watched three maps cycle in as many minutes. As what to do with the offender I have two schools of thought. Bastard or idiot.

1. You can prove intent OR its probable. A 5 day ban and message explaining why and also the ill effects of the actions.
2. The person can claim stupidity. No ban, but messaging as mentioned with the caveat if it happens again, 5 day ban.

As admins you have the tough job of judging people who vote and play a map during the day when no one is online vs someone doing it on purpose to take maps out of rotation.
