Trololo whores and ninjastarters at it again

I agree. It's getting on my nerves.

Remove it completely from the normal server. We have a Silly maps server for a reason.

I suggest you to relax... listen to some relaxing music maybe?

It probably would not be so bad if:
1. ZK-lobby is fixed so that my vote button doesnt start spanning my entire screen
2. Springie is fixed so that it forces a small pause between games, regardless of how long or short previous game was (game ends, withing 5 seconds someone !start)
3. Springie is fixed so that !start no longer works when there is a vote still pending (!map gets 7/9 vs 4/9 votes but current map is trololo and stays trololo, so what do the trololo players do? You guessed it, they !start)
4. Springie is fixed so that it changes the map, no matter how long or short previous game was
5. Springie is fixed so that !votemap while a game is in progress is disabled

And yes, it is the players fault, not the map.

I dont mind playing trololo from time to time, but a run of trololo and all the ninjastart abuse that goes with it, that is what pissing me off.

Imho, the problem is the "quick-restart" timing logic. Quick restart is a good idea - when a 1v1 or otherwise small game ends quickly, I don't want to have to wait the full start-delay until the next round.

The problem is that it only considers the last game, not the total amount of time since the last wait period.

If you play one game that's less than 10 minutes, by all means let us quickly play another round on the same map. But if you play 20 consecutive games that are each less than 10 minutes but are collectively 3 hours of play? There you've got a problem.

That and voting could use a little work - putting forth a failed motion should take away your ability to call a vote for a bit to avoid monopolizing the vote system. Also, !start should be blocked if there's a vote in progress. The first change will prevent abusing the voting system to prevent a !start.
