For the map rotation: Why not make a point of on one day in the week Paul/dave posts a message to this group. Say a Friday. Then anyone hos not happy with the rotation just adds the map name/names that they want in the reply, nothing else. Then come Sunday night count all the votes, and add/remove/change or whatever the maps for the following week. If people dont reply and put in the opinion then hard shit, they miss out dont they, and shouldnt really complain about the map. Its nice I think to have the odd classic map in the list too though, and changing the maps too often will make it harder for new players to get good at it. Personally I love the fact that Jungle 1 and Cracked have been up for so long, and also Lighthouse. They are probably my 3 fav maps, as well as Cov City etc. But then I dont really mind. At the end of the day Quake isnt about 1: Kill and 2: Die, as mentioned above, thats just what tends to happen in the game. Surely the real thing that we all enjoy about it is that its FUN. Even when someone kills you, its a laugh, it just makes you go after them. lol. So, why not all calm down, take a pill or something. Lets sort out a way of changing the rotation everynow and then, maybe every 2 weeks or something, this would give new players a chance to learn the maps, and not just be cannon fodder for the rest of us, established players, and also give some variety for people who are getting bored. Also, how about rather than completely changing it, just a a couple of new ones, and remove a couple of older ones, then the WHOLE rotation isnt changed too drastically! Just my opinion anyway! Feel free to call me a twat etc as I'm sure you all will! lol -- Respectfully [MrE]Robbie Boy
