    Lobby Item Refresh
    While playing CTF, it's an unpleasant surprise when you are instantly sent to either the CTF spawn box, or the Brawl network lobby. Now when dedicatedly playing Capture The Flag, You will have seen the CTF spawn box more often than the network lobby. For now, I'm focusing on that very spawn box and the various actions available during this spawn box time.

    Interfaces and Icons
    First and fore mostly, my suggestion rearranges the available options in your hot bar. In addition to the neater arrangement, 2 more item options are there for you to interact with.

    [​IMG]


    Class Selector
    Represented by a nether star. The interface and actions remain unchanged. Right clicking the nether star opens an interface gui that displays your available and un owned classes. You are provided with descriptions of each class and can select from the ones you own!

    Map Vote
    Represented by a paper. By right clicking on the paper, you are presented with a gui interface that lists all the CTF maps currently in rotation. If this idea were to go to infinite, and beyond however, it would include the earliest maps in ctf that function and are able to be played. The maps are represented in books, renamed to the corresponding map. By clicking on the map you like, a vote is submitted to play that specific map. If it has the highest amount of votes, it is set for the upcoming game.
    [​IMG]
    Also in the gui is redstone, a paper, and sugar. Clicking redstone in the gui brings you back a page on the list of maps, clicking sugar brings you forward a page. The paper is titled "Vote for a map : 2". The number after the colon represents your vote storage (Explained).


    Map Vote Cont.
    To vote, you would need to have voted for the server on the server lists. For every vote you are given 2 CTF map votes. Each player is restricted to a maximum of 10 votes. Donators are given 1 free vote every day and have a 12 vote limit.

    Start Vote
    Represented by sugar. When right clicking the sugar, a lobby vote is submitted to begin the game early. Anyone can do this at any time during lobby period. When more than 70% of the lobby votes to begin the game early, the time is reduced to 5 seconds. If a player has submitted a vote for a map and the lobby wants to begin the game early, any map votes are returned to players, or the 2/3 or 3/3 map is set to the winning vote.

    Switch Teams
    Represented by a grey wool block when first joining, represented by a blue wool block when you select blue team, represented by a red wool block when you select red team. The interface and actions remain unchanged. When first joining a match, you can queue for a team by right clicking the grey wool block until it's the desired team color. If there is not enough room, you will be put on the un desired team and switched when someone else switches. Leaving the wool grey will randomly put you on a team.

    Lobby Refresh
    Just as a little side suggestion, I've built a newer lobby to go along with the suggestion.

    That really just concludes my suggestion post!
    I really just thought something new would be "refreshing".
    Thank you for your time :smile:

    Heck no to the lobby- it's bland and small compared to the current one.
    Heck no to map votes- it would reduce variety and frustrate some players who like less popular maps.
    Heck no to the teams- randomization keeps it as fair as it can be.

    The lobby seems kind of small to me. .n. As for the map voting, I have to agree with Inge. People who like the less popular maps will never get to play the ones they want. The teams, I, again, am agreeing with Inge. Keeping the teams random is better.

    The new lobby really wasn't meant to be a key to the suggestion, I just made one to infer that a newer lobby would be nice.
    I really can't argue any further with the map voting.
    I really can't think of anything to improve my team switching suggestion any further.
    Thanks for your feedback, guess the only piece of my suggestion that was worthwhile was the timer vote.

    I'd be cool with a timer vote, but TBH 50 seconds is not an eternity.

    I wouldn't say the maps that you made that were accepted were very detailed.

    Irrelevant, insulting and stupid comment in addition to being wrong. Go away, sporty.

    When you can even get a map in the rotation, call me. Don't throw stones in glass houses, sporty.
