Voting Thread​

Well, we've had another amazing turnout for the 72hr contest, with 43 awesome maps having been submitted. It's going to be a difficult one to judge! As so many maps have been entered in this contest we've decided to split up to voting into two stages to help us decide which maps you think are best.

In the first stage, we'll be whittling down the maps into a smaller pool of "finalists" by having you guys decide if you feel each map should be in the finalist's pool. This is how that'll work:

• For each map you'll be asked whether you feel it should be a finalist, to which you can respond: "Yes", "No" or "I haven't played it."
• When the first voting period is over, the 15 maps with the highest number of "Yes" votes will be selected.
• We'll be keeping an eye on map plays and trying to ensure that each maps gets a fair chance - be aware though that typically better entries get played more times. If you have any concerns over the number of times your map has been played, send me a message.
• Please try to judge the maps fairly. Don't just vote for one map to go through.

I'll announce how we're going to do 2nd stage voting when I've worked it out myself.

The Google Form for 1st stage is now available at: http://goo.gl/forms/JsHXCrGMAh - Voting closes Monday, 9th Febuary at 9PM GMT

In the meantime, here is a spreadsheet you can use to keep track of your feedback and votes: http://eu.tf2maps.net/72hr_feedback.xls - You can also use this to submit your vote if you're unable to use the google form for whatever reason.

Can we get a non-excel version of the spreadsheet?

Everything should be able open/import .xls - what format did you want?

Hey Geit, are you going to update heatmaps.tf with the 72 hour maps?

Hey Geit, are you going to update heatmaps.tf with the 72 hour maps?

I asked this question a while ago, I think he said something along the lines of the mumble server conflicting with it and some things were broken that he needs to fix first before he can do the imaging.

I have also finished the voting and I was able to play all the 72hr maps as well. I might do some edits prior to Monday if I feel I need to add more feedback.

Woo, I get to be middling. That's better than I hoped.

Now, I'm all for freedom of information, but I'd have thought maybe you should've deleted the name column of the voters. Privacy and all that.

I apologise for not voting more! I missed a lot of the testing but I did want to attend more and I was updating my vote as I played more maps. Good luck to the finalists!

Oh, and what does the "not played" statistic mean? I guessed higher percentages mean less playtime, but...?

 

[YM]

You could vote "yes", "no" or "not played". So it's the amount of "not played" votes each map got.

 

[MegapiemanPHD]

Whelp, this did not go well for me BUT I feel like it was a good prototype for my Turf War gametype. I may try to fix the issues with it depending upon peoples interest.

 

[wareya]

Good luck finalists!
