I got the idea for a map in which you can "build your own base" because of Acegikmo's construction device. But of course that would be far too complicated, take too long, and be impossible to make work well with multiple players.
So what if it were limited to picking the layout of each room from a set of pre-built options? (example) I thought up a voting system to make this work, and I have it fully functional in my test map. (you walk through gates to vote)
When I began gauging interest and getting input on such a map Ravidge suggested I could turn it into a community thing, where anyone can build layouts for the rooms, and I thought this was an awesome idea. Significantly easier to get lots of options for players to choose among, and it won't suffer from "underparticipating participants" like some community maps do.
Now that the description is over... I can explain the point of this thread.
1: to ask if people think such a map could be fun
2: to ask if people would like to participate in making it
3: to ask what game mode would be best/easiest for such a map
The poll has multiple choices because I want you to pick all game modes you think could work. (and answer the yes/no out of the last two options)
I would've put more game modes in... but multi-stage is out of the question.
If you have any questions I'll try to answer them (and wait to vote until after they are answered, if they would change what you think).
What I've already worked out and what not to ask about:
Voting works. period.
An individual player can only vote once for each "zone".
Vote ties work.
No votes works.
All votes for one thing (up to 32) works.
Balance. It's not something that needs to be thought about at this point.
Actual layout. Ditto.
