A 1 person lead out of 43 people is not a reasonable lead. That was the arguement being made.
When I comment i base it on the current status of the poll, not the previous status, probably should have used >10% like I planned instead of reasonable. <_< (though I never saw the poll at a point where there was a one person difference, 2 yes, not 1).
Dual configs will be made which can be applied on the fly in game by admins, or admins can choose to make map specific configs for gamedays. The debate for either/or being chosen over the other ended several pages back and the poll affecting the decision for change is actually redundant as we're catering for both sides.
To clarify, I realize gamedays and "formal" testing events have been settled, yes, give the mapper the choice.
But as I said, the defaults are still undecided. Obviously making a map specific config for every single map on the server is a complete pain in the ass, so when unspecified it should default to the side most prefer. Most of the time this will be people playing simply for the sake of playing, so the supposed balance no crits creates is not required and it becomes a simple matter of opinion. In which case following a popular vote makes sense.
Whilst i can see that 1 or 2 more votes would warrant a change the majority of the admins felt that this config was beneficial to the community and we also have to make decisions on behalf of those not able to vote. It's difficult when the difference in opinion sways by 5-10% and you all demand change even though an equal amount of people are apposed.
Once again, x != x + 10...

...had to
I'm not blatantly demanding that whichever option is ahead is forced on everyone. Just that when people aren't testing the game is played how the majority like it.
...And I was using the last poll as an example as well, if someone doesn't vote in 6 months they likely don't care all that much.
