TG BF2 League: Vote on your favorite maps

ABRA · 01-03-2006, 02:58 AM

This is simple. I'm setting up a poll to gauge the proportional interest in the maps. Each option is a map and you should vote for the ones you'd like to play the most often.

Details on the admittedly over-complicated Preseason League Format are here. Check that to appreciate how we'll be rotating through all the interested choices to understand the impact of your voting. The map selection scheme may be a little bit more complicated in the end taking into account fancy relative popularity vote weighting and black sheep matches so it's worth a quick look.

This poll will only be open for 48 hours. Only votes of players on the Master Player List will be counted.

It's just for the preseason and I want to get this thing started. So excuse the lack of fairness or whatever. If you're not yet on the list PM me and I'll add you to get your vote tallied. This is the most complicated league interest to gauge since maps are like your kids: while no single one is your favorite and you like to spend time with all of them, let's face it, you're rather spend more time with some than others. We need to rotate to prevent staleness yet no one wants to play Songhu soggy death fog. So I'd like to optimally schedule league matches over enough maps that everyone from the urban infantry to the tankers to the airmen play maps they enjoy while still having most of the matches on a map that most people like. But not so much so that we play a lot of Operation Clean Sweep that only the airmen seem to favor. So expect many run-offs, vote any/vote one, and periodic polls in this department.

Feel free to write in your favorite map that's not up there.

I think that about wraps this up. If I stay on the ball with this, there's going to be about 5 rapid-fire poll threads like this about various last minute league topics in the near future so keep an eye out.

Yeah forgot to meantion that there's only 10 slots max for polls and like 14 maps standard. Soooooooo, I tossed the air heavy maps together, Wake, Clean Sweep, and Kubra. Let out Songhua Stalemate. If you want any of those vote that option.

There'll probably end up being another poll for the finalists and the black sheep maps.

ABRA, let me be the first to say good work on all these polls and on the scrim league in general.

Let me also say "Kubra, Cleansweep and Wake for the win, baby!"

ABRA · 01-03-2006, 04:12 AM

Thanks. After much yole tide neglect the league is back in development. Hope to start matches for preseason inside of two weeks.

Whoops, sorry. I voted, but I can't commit to playing in a the league...

Wulfyn · 01-03-2006, 06:21 AM

I am in agreement with you there Wulfyn, i love the stalemate, I don't seem to play it often enough. Got to give a lots of respect to ABRA for all his great work on the scrim league and these polls, its is definitely one of the elements that helps bring this community closer together, keep it up.

Sharqi, Karkand, and Songhua. Yay groundpounders.

**WhiskeySix** · 01-04-2006, 12:27 AM

Songhua++

(haven't played that in months it seems)

ABRA · 01-05-2006, 06:23 AM

I don't know which I find funnier. That Wake, Kubra, and Clean Sweep only got 5 votes combined or that they were almost eclipsed by Songhua's 4 write in votes.

Cingle no commitment necessary. Your map's only likely to see one night's playtime anyway so if you make that one alone that'd justify your vote being counted.

Here's the resulting formula. The map cycle will be 45 matches long. The base unit will be 5 votes in the above poll. Take a map and divide it by 5 rounding 2's down and 3's up except Mashtuur which is down. That's the number of times it will be played before the cycle repeats to give you a rough idea of their relative frequency in the schedule. Maps with 5 or less votes will be played only once.

Alternative interpretations of the results welcome.

POLL CLOSED!
