Voting is stupid

Why is it you need everyone voting for something like map change?

I think as long as you have just over half the players voting that should be enough, it's quite pathetic when you get lots of votes only to have it fail, fix it please.

    It's sometimes annyoing, but I don't think there is a need to change the current voting system.
    Representative democracy ftw?

    This should have been a poll. (And in game voting % can be set by server ops)

    Some servers pick a random map if mapvote receives less than, for an example, 6 votes. "ns_veil got 4 votes, but the minimum required is 6. Changing to next map in map queue." Dunno what that's all about.

    And the funny thing is: almost always it's the map the people voted for.

    (Not statistically true, but feels like it)

    People who do not cast a vote should be counted as abstentions instead of being defaulted to "no."

    Concede voting is fine, all other in game voting is not. Count non-voters as a fourth weight against the actual voters. Calculate new minimum vote success rate in this fashion.

    Servers with Shine Admin voting = better voting

    If you don't vote, it's really your fault. When people want to reset a game because of a troll comm, or anything similar, they should get the vote if they have the majority.

    I think a lot of the time votes fail because people haven't loaded into the game yet and someone starts a vote.

    The vote system is already majority wins (>50% yes) based on number of connected players. That is, players you can see on the scoreboard.

    What can happen is a player may connect in the last few seconds of vote countdown, dropping the vote % down just below 50%.

    So yea, nothing is really bugged or broken here.

    This issue isn't with the system being imagined as bugged or broken

    I want it to work as long as we have 50% of players voting, ones who don't vote don't count as no, all that matters is those who voted, if we have 10 players on the server and only 5 bother to vote, 3 of them yes and 2 of them no, the 3 who voted yes should win and the map changes, pretty simple but as it is currently if not enough vote it just fails.

    At the moment even if we have like 70% of players on the server voting and the majority vote yes it still fails which is pretty pathetic.

    UWE voting has always been awful, they have improved it slightly over the last couple of builds, mainly stopping people from spamming the same vote over and over but overall it is still pretty bad.

    I disable it on my servers, use Shine Admin instead.
