i was thinking...
you know those end of map votes, when there are just no good maps so you just vote for some bad map you really don't want to play.
well i was thinking. what if every map vote there was a option for a random map. this would choose any map on the server. this would allow for the chance to play a map you like, as well as getting more maps played. i feel we play a total of like 5 maps on the server and it gets old. i like the idea of a random choice....

I think that it should ALWAYS go to a random map.
Each map should have a 100% chance to be picked. Since they're all 100%, that means one of them will be randomly picked. After being picked, that map will have a 99% chance. All the rest will be 100%, so it'll decide between them. Then the next one will be 99%. This'll happen until they're ALL 99%, where one will become 98% and it'll continue.
It'll guarantee a 100% FAIR and RANDOM cycle.
When one is 0%, it'll be removed temporarily. When the last map goes from 1% to 0%, it'll reset all to 100%.

im not 100% sure what you mean by this. i could be reading it wrong but it just wont work in my head xd
Round 1:
Map 1: 100%
Map 2: 100%
Map 3: 100%
Map 4: 100%
Map 5: 100%
Map 3 is randomly picked. (Each map has a 100% chance, aka even. So its random.)
Round 2:
Map 1: 100%
Map 2: 100%
Map 3: 99%
Map 4: 100%
Map 5: 100%
As you see, Map 3 can't be picked because it is not 100%. So, one of maps 1, 2, 4 or 5 are picked. Let's skip ahead a few rounds.
Round 6:
Map 1: 99%
Map 2: 99%
Map 3: 99%
Map 4: 99%
Map 5: 99%
The last map to be chosen was Map 5 last round, which had the only 100% chance. Now all of the maps have a 99% chance. One of the maps is randomly picked. Map 4 is chosen.

You're complaining about playing a map you really don't want to play? But the random map option has a chance to get another bad map you don't want to play, thus completely nullifying the reasoning behind your suggestion in general..
100% random maps wouldn't be a good thing IMO, as I strongly believe players should have at least SOME control over what maps they play.
