votes before finish

[Tsin]

many players cry that they joined in they play for like 1 hour they are near finish line suddenly a group of tees join in cant pass the noobfilter and they vote on next map

i have 2 solutions:

1. map rotation/shuffle a simple things map changes every X time and they have that X time to finish the map when time ends and server makes a vote "extend map" if not then server changes the map by random or takes a next map from specialy created maps lists by admins.
2. i had a more complicated idea that will use checkpoints
   • maps need to have a lot of checkpoints (those that show time diffrence in runs)
   • someone tries to make a vote and servers checks the first checkpoint and last checkpoint that is added on map

if for example there are 17 checkpoints on map and 2 players passed 14 checkpoint then server denies the vote and sends a message "vote cant be done X players are near finishline"

• ofcourse mappers must make checkpoints in right order to make the system work perfectly
• ddmax will for sure check it and have it as a rule

Or make it so players can vote for the next map in rotation and add a vote for rotate that requires 75% of the tees to say yes. Good enough ?

the idea is old from counter-strike quake3 etc

but there they have a nice poll with "next maps" from 1-5 and 6 is extended and then you just pess a number and server checks the votes and if 2 maps go the same number of votes then a new poll is created with only this 2 maps and others that voted on diffrent maps can vote now on one of the winning maps simple
