 Custom vote: Outcome

[drk]

I'm not against it.
I'll wait a bit for any other voters.

I'm absolutely against the concede vote block. Winning team can spam the block vote to keep farming without actually wanting to end the game which might result in a loss of players due leaving.

I agree on the draw bit, though.

So, 'outcome' is now on.
If you decide to include a concede vote too it will be easy to do for me.

Possibly you can consider just disabling concede/draw votes for x minutes after it is called it x times in x period.

A bit like the chat-flood protection, but then for votes. I know that is doable with python!

I think you missed what I posted. I mean, why require votes for that?

If a concede vote (for team 2) does not pass twice in 2 minutes, you could deny concede votes for team 2 for like 5 or so minutes automatically. That would prevent the vote spam and doesn't introduce MORE votes!

Instead of the losing team spamming concede, the winning team will now also try to spam the outcome vote.

Would you then introduce another vote to disable the outcome vote?

Ah right, I understand.
But there already is a vote spam prevention in place, it would only further add to that not necessarily in a good way. At least with a vote, the players have control and as long as the vote is easy to understand and visibly active. The biggest problem with these votes I believe are ppl who join a team just to call a concede because they want to command a new map "Paulus", they want to make a commander lose "ghitler" or they are just french "phoe" Your idea would be better served as a flood protection from new players joining the server or joining a team - a 2 or 3 minute block to these votes for them would be a good idea. Maybe even block them from voting on draw/concede for a minute or 2 considering they have just joined and shouldn't have a say right away.

And I probably shouldn't have assumed, but I meant for either of these 2 votes NOT be stackable and run out of their designated time before they can be called again. So for example, you call vote custom outcome and "draw"/"outcome" votes are disabled for 5 minutes.

Simplified it a bit below with an additional vote

callvote custom outcome = no draw for 5 minutes 75%pass
callvote custom no_surrender = no concede for 5 minutes 75%pass
callvote custom decider = no draw/concede for 5 minutes 90% pass

Global vote. effect disabling votes for both teams. OFC these votes won't reach their full potential is they are not visibly active in GUI for all current and new players joining.

ofc you're are going to call decider while you're building a sneak gar/sub/gate but eventually inverse to that you give away your strategy as well )
