I agree with this except to say that I *really* hate Subway99, and still
like the original.  Thats the problem - everyone likes different maps!  
The best way to sort it is to either go with whatever the admin wants,
or to discuss and vote on our choices.  
Thing is, we tried a vote in here, and no-one bothered to vote!
You can't win.

I really like FF, but there are too many childish cretins that spoil it.
Major shame really - we tried vote-kicking one such dickhead last night,
but he must have had two connections, as he kept coming back.

Best to leave FF for clan games, if possible. :(

>Right, that's me for the moment. Thoughts, anyone?

Can you handicap mapvoting?  
The Fury servers are ruined at the moment, because everytime a level
comes on that the majority dislikes (or even just a bigmouthed
minority), we end up with Urban or Urban3.  AGAIN.  Presumably because
everyone can spell 'Urban'.
I mean, OK, Urban is an interesting level, but it comes up every two
minutes - enough is enough!  There *are* another hundred or so levels,
you know.

Please put mapvoting to 75% votes required, admins...
