Remove(Maps in red have been removed):

Map	Votes
puchi3t	10
mini_colosseum	6
avenue_sep	5
circleattack2_sep	5
emicepalace_a	5
normalize_physics	5
newtiny	4

you forgot to remove puchi3t

yeah - puchi3t sucks it's always the same: first, people vote for the map and after some time it gets drawed - imo just boring...

This server needs a decent rotation with 30-50 maps.

Today, if you join server you got to play maybe 2 maps in a row without flood of nextmap votes. For example if I play one hour I get to play maybe two matches. The time spended voting for next map is about 15mins/hour.

Main problems are: Maps are too big (can't play huge maps with 20v20) and 1/3 of maps just doesn't work.

[Feathers]

could you remove the map: thepass buggy as hell

[Zackorrigan]

why remove emicepalace_a? it's a hard map to play and a beast map, but it's a map who teamplayers win, i remember many very nice games who we did chainsac on human's base, and some nice battle at flag.

If 4h/day is wasted with emicepalace, i say remove it and burn it.

Tbh, this argument could be used for savage, computer games at all and furthermore most of the internet. I'm not a big fan of those stalemate draw games over a few hours, but I have to admit that these can be demanding aswell, more in terms of endurance and watchfulness than quick suppression of the other team. Spoken in these terms, emicepalace is a classic map in a league like watershipdown2, choke or anvale. All these maps provide quite open gameplay in the beginning and boil down to an arm wrestling in front of a base in the end. Since they mostly allow players to farm and try out different approaches to the same situation. I think they really have their place in savage.

Not when there's no server alternative.

[Dervun]

90% of all maps should be kicked out.

Best would be if a small committee selects the maps, that should be available, after others can vote for maps they want in.
Or get back the old rotation, before all maps were added.

[Groentjuh]

But those 200 maps weren't enough back then!...

[Faun]

Groentjuh can you add xr_ardon please?

[Groentjuh]

Maps that we voted off the rotation are back   
At least the abominations like mini_colosseum and puchi3t are...

When people choose to play those horrible "1-way-to-base" maps, I usually just spectate that round or disconnect. But when I decide to play, I exploit those maps' faults ruthlessly. Usually that means breaking the rules too, but I couldn't care less. As long as the maps that I hate get bad fame, I'm happy, even if I'm doing it on my own reputation's expense.

If this voting system is still works, I'll start a map removing spree soon.

[Riddick]

Get the new maps in, which are made by mapmakers! Savage gets boring with those shitty campmaps like Putchi3t, mini_coloseum etc!

[H3027]

There are tons of good old maps too, it's just that people forget about them after playing all the crap all day and that the crap gets voted more as people remember map names better which were played more recently. It's a downwards spiral. Better map regulation by the server could fix this.
