Map Vote is cool. The part where frequently a map will win despite being so strongly disliked that it winning causes half the players on the server to leave immediately sucks. The fact that there is like a 10% participation rate in map voting no matter how much the admins shout at everyone for not voting also sucks.
A discussion about this on the discord produced the following ideas:
• Make voting more representative by allowing voters to check boxes next to all the maps they are okay with (So that you can indicate that your second choice is Cog2 rather than Donut, or vice-versa)
• Make voting more representative by only switching maps if more than a certain percentage of the server population bothers to vote (non-voters being assumed to be fine with staying on the current map)
• Improve voter turnout by giving everyone who casts a map vote 50 spacebucks
• Improve voter turnout by giving everyone who casts a map vote an "I Voted" sticker as a bonus trinket on the following round.
Discuss the above or pitch your own ideas or share your thoughts. I'd like it if we could lean towards stuff that can realistically be implemented, since I think we're all tired of how often map votes turn out a map seemingly nobody wanted, whether it's because of the genuine issues with first-past-the-post voting, or because only four people voted in a thirty person round
