Or, as a friend of mine put it....the ever lovely squishyg wrote:nononononono!! random has to kept just that otherwise there is no victory in being a random map champ. i love QH's suggestions in the other thread and those are the ones that should be implemented immediately. I hate hive too, but if i get it in random, so be it! keep random random!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the thing is, this REALLY locks up tournaments, turning it from a fun, 4 month lasting tournament or so, into a tournament that goes 10+ months because they got a map that takes 8 months to play.
You are basically saying to anyone that plays Speed games "Well, screw you buddies, if you want Random, deal with the hive"

JoshyBoy wrote:I don't understand why people want to exclude maps from random map setting. It was made for the purpose of randomly selecting any map from the selection available, and if that brings you your least favourite map, then that's the risk you are taking. I can't believe we are even talking about this.

You choose to play with random map settings, your choice. If that means you get Hive, tough.

I've seen thousands of these tournaments made to exactly these specifications and I think this suggestion would ruin things for people playing in such tournaments .

True, but remember what this site is - we don't have to be extremely statistactical. I would hope that the deciding factor of whether this would be implemented or not would be if enough players were to use it. If you want it completely random, remember that you would have the option to not exclude any maps.

not if there are freemies. you would have to wait a month or more for the hive game to end, which would make it pointless to scrap it.
