Vote System for T:V

Please make it like T1 where it takes the percentage from the total people voted, and not the total number of people. I just go off rapture east and 69% of the people voted yes to change the map but it failed because 2 people voted no and the rest didn't even vote. Why they have the vote pass set to 70% is beyond me :shrug:

:chill:

I agree though :]

Absolutely. If someone cares, he'll vote anyway.

voting rocks.

I like the T2 voting system

I like the T2 voting system

explain, please.

I agree, if someone can't be bothered enough to vote, then their abstention shouldn't count as a "no"

On another note, I'm sick of this "yes" "no" 2-party system. I want to vote for a 3rd party!

I prefer the T2 voting system, because I can continue playing without interruption when a vote comes up that I don't agree with.

Yes I know it's easy to hit the Delete key, but it's easier to continue playing. :)

Either way, it's not a big deal to me. As long as votes are easy to make, easy to read and easy to vote. I still don't know wtf is going on during BF votes or how and what to do. Heh. :)

Hmm I've always liked the votes based on 'if this effects you, you get to vote, if not you don't.. Like that in Enemy Territory.

If someone on your team was TK, only a teammate on your team could vote to kick. And then only votes from your own teammates would apply to kicking that person. The other team has no say since they aren't really involved in the transaction.

As for votes to change the mission, for example. I see nothing wrong with requiring a general percentage. For example in 20 people playing, require that at least 10 of them vote yes to change the mission.. If 55% or 60% of the people are happy playing on a map, they shouldn't have to vote 'no' every single time when some guy is vote spamming.

I think my vote should count as 10.

true... but you could always make a "vote to disable map change votes for this map" option.

One thing that is retarded about T2:

Bots are counted in the percentage. If I'm the only human player on a server with bots, no votes can pass because BOTS DON'T VOTE.

I demand suffrage for bots then!

That's not how it works in T1. The servers just have a minimum number of people who vote to pass, like 50% or so. It could be 10 to 0 on a server with 24 people and still fail. I agree that if you don't vote, you don't count. And >50% should make the vote pass, seemed pretty simple to me, but the creators of the Tribes series can't seem to comprehend that. ;)

If 2 of 20 vote for a map change, it probably shouldn't pass. A good default quorum number is probably 2/3, so if 13 of 20 people vote, and 7 vote for the map change, then it would pass. Adding the option to set the quorum percentage would give admins added flexibility.

:shrug: That's generally not how it works with voting systems in real life. But obviously it isn't the same thing. But there are a lot of people who will never vote, and it makes it hard for anything to pass sometimes, and it can be frustrating. T2 was a little better in this respect because it had the voting percentage on the screen, so at least you were fully aware that a vote was going on. I think more people tended to vote in T2 than in T1 because of that, but I never really played much T2 so I couldn't say for sure.

If only three people voted to elect a local official, and the rest of the county didn't, the candidate with the most votes still wins. It sucks that in tribes the people who don't do anything have the same power as those who are concerned enough to actually hit the insert or delete buttons. If only two people vote for a map change, and no one else does, then those other people don't deserve to whine when the map changes because they could have taken the .3 seconds it takes to smack one of the vote keys, and changed the outcome of the vote. Laziness should not be rewarded, action should have its proper reward, IMO.
