Scramble

[Humbug]

people have highlighted that they do not like the current setup of the server scramble system.  Here's your chance to have your say.

pls change it to a vote based system, as it is the scramble is overly keen to be mixing the teams around

[Humbug]

well, let's see what the result of the voting is.  That will determine the setup of the scramble

Do we have any data on the result of past server votes? It'd be interesting to see how many of them actually succeed and what the percentage vote tallies were.

the scramble system was activated on 15th June 09 and up to today, initiating a scramble by voting has been successful 4 times.

it has auto scrambled due to the kill ratio being higher on one team compared to another 111 times

it has been initiated by an admin successfully 2 times with one being canceled

scramble due to round win streak is 530

total times the server has scrambled 647

average scrambles per day since installation 7.61

if people think it's too trigger happy why not just make it so there has to be a bigger kill:death ratio imbalance between the teams to trigger it?

personally, the only time I've seen it trigger has been when one team has been stomping over another...

[Owndead]

to be frank, I don't personally mind it if I'm pubbing... but with loadsa mates it gets annoying.
I'd say 40% to vote.

Awesome Humbug, thanks. This is with a 50% vote required?

[frymaster]

think it's just over 50% vote at the moment

[Humbug]

while the voting is underway i tweaked the settings slightly for the autoscramble to see how much of a difference it would make...and it made a lot

i changed the team frag ratio from 2 to 3
i changed the round win streak from 2 to 3

on the 8th (yesterday) the auto scramble only kicked in 3 times.   

i also lowered the voting ratio to 40% to see if it increased the success of people initiating the scramble but there were no successful scrambles / votes.

I find the scramble system to be fine atm .
