No. It was respected to the letter. Didn't "cut" anyone.

But I've changed it last week, because overall the poll is bad, and the voters don't play more, so I don't see the point of keeping a poll that doesn't please the people who actually play.

Yeh perhaps in future it should be limited to those who are playing 1vs1. For the maps to be divided by size and not whether they are custom or not. And finally Pilot should choose which maps go into the vote himself rather than looking for suggestions so this way you get the right to veto maps you don't like before a vote occurs

Than it was a communication issue...if the poll was respected but you cut out the votes of "non-ladder-playing" people...than im fine with that...I assume everybody wants the best for the game and faf

But "in general" we could avoid whining if all facts about the poll are released before and not after the poll (and with that I also mean the thing with weighting the votes according to ranking).

The poll was respected.

Problem is that people who voted don't play the ladder. So I don't see the problem in dismissing the poll.

I dont care about the maps at all atm, im gonna play em all.

But i can understand that e.g. sheppard and other people feel offended if a "democratic" poll is ignored when the outcome is not as expected. Than just dont do it!

There always be discussion about maps...but to make a poll and then chose arbitrary maps isnt a good advertising for faf and has the potential to piss people off

While I certainly did not like the outcome of the votes and am happy with the revert (Moonlight Mesas was terrible, for instance).

I did like being able to vote to kick out some maps I didn't like, and get some others in.

I'd love to see a new vote as soon as possible, don't wait for the next patch, but with the following limitations.
- Vote according to map size
- Apply a rule that x% must be naval maps.
- Bias according to the (square root of) games played (last month), not rating

You know sheppard... I see where you are coming from morally... But, personally I dont really care, all I know is that this pool is a heck of a lot better than the last.
