Should not be happening. Someone is in trouble.
You tell 'em Steamin' Leman. Stop changing the map. If you want to change the maps, get rid of the shitty ones and replace them with ArenaArena is not coming in the rotation because it is way too small from 50 people and up and the campable corridors, catacombs and towers are lame. I heard they played Arena with the double xp event with 200 people though, damn shame I didn't witness that.
and the Blue Cake map.The what now? If there are any very old maps or maps outside the community or any other maps that you think are good but have been forgotten, find a download link and submit them here http://forum.melee.org/scene-editing/battle-map-submissions-for-official-servers-2-0/
Garrison or Gurnison or whoever the hell it is, Chaos admin. They do it quite often.

It would help if you pointed out when these changes happen and who is making them. I very rarely see any admin change the map for any reason, and while plenty of players clamor for Arena I've only witnessed someone actually change it to Arena twice in the last two months.

Was this the specific instance to which you were referring? It took place on 8/19 of this year, and the only reason I have a screenshot of it in the first place is because this particular admin decided to do it twice in a row. After changing the map to arena (no poll) and letting it play out, he changed the map back to arena again the round after that before leaving.
Other things worth noting:
1.) As you can see from the screenshot, at least one person is actively objecting to his decision of changing the map in chat.
2.) At the time, this admin was, if my memory serves me correctly, playing heavy cavalry (Green Corazina Armor, Cataphract Horse, Sugarloaf Helmet etc) and probably benefited considerably in terms of score from the map change.
3.) This particular admin has a penchant for using admin chat for non-admin related business. If you have a reason or opportunity to go back and check the logs relating to this incident, you will likely see at least one or two instances of it in this case alone.
The reason why I am posting this is not because I have any grudge against this particular admin and want to see his powers removed or something dumb like that; on the contrary, I think that having more people available to deal with delayers and imbeciles doing stupid things instead of actually playing the game is a good thing. I merely feel the same way as Leman, in that I would just like to see certain admins limit their actions to their responsibilities and those alone.
If only a couple of people object to a map does that mean that it shouldnt happen? There is plenty of shit-tacular maps in rotation now that the majority of people complain about...
rofl. Tanken, You're wrong by about 3000-5000 miles. You should take the time to actually figure out the right persons name before throwing out accusations.
Side thought: The only map worth changing is the one where both teams spawn in the same place.

What? Blue Icee castle was still on the server somewhere? I thought it was removed over a year ago.
Yes, I know that some people like arena and that is fine. Have it added to the server rotation and then we can play it when it pops up.
Although i personally loves the bar fight map...
I don't remember what it's called, could have been an ATS map. But I can describe it. Big fort in the middle of this large map of snow/ice (very blue appearing) One side gets to the fort by crossing a wrecked ship, the other must go through a large moat of water to reach the fort. It's a pretty sweet map, fairly flat in most places, but it's nice because cav for the most part is secluded from the middle area, giving the infantry and range that area to fight (primarily) and the cav mainly run the outskirts of the map.I know which map you mean now, but I do not just need a name, I need a download link to actually be able to review and perhaps implement the map. Knowing the name might allow you to find it, but with a small game like Warband that might still prove difficult. So if you really want a map you are going to have to find the download link yourself. Now that we are talking about ATS maps, I believe they had a fairly large map pack which contained a lot of horrible maps, but also a bunch of good ones, of which some are on the server. I thought they also modified the Native maps to make them better for cRPG and I have been looking for that version of Port Assault with an extra route on the side, which might have been theirs. If someone is able to find a download link for the ATS Map Pack or contact info of someone that could have, please PM me. I'll then have a look at the entire pack to see what I can salvage.
We always referred to it as the Blue Cake map, so hopefully this rings a bell and someone can remember what the name of it was.

I have no idea why this hasn't been the case for months. Years even(?). When admins ask the server "what map should I change this to" the answer is arena 99% of the time.
Old school nerd nerding shit up
I can't stand most ATS maps...

Admin "Dexxtaa" implying new rules? Is it allowed or not allowed to use foul language in-game chat?

Dammit, then provide me a download link to the ATS map pack and I might actually do something with it. I can't find it.
ADD BLANK 200 TO ROTATION
Yes, please bring back some of the old ATS maps, I miss them dearly.
