i wonder if its possible to simply list the numbers of uses a map gets in a given period (7 days say) then you could just look at the percentages and know which is the most popular

That doesn't show an opinion people sometimes only play a map because their friends like it or they may play it but niot like it and not play again

In the good old year ago people actually gave their opinion and didn't spam

As someone who believes in the all-mighty market, I don't think Madmartigan's point is all that off-base. Nothing speaks as loudly about your preference like what you actually choose to do. Honestly, it's a much better barometer than trying to rank all 30 maps. I attend a lot of wine tastings and often times we try to determine the favorite of the lot. I look at two things, what everyone scored and which one was empty first after we went back and had some more after the official tasting. Frankly, I tend to take the second one more seriously.

Hell, I don't know my favorites from 20-30 because those are all maps that obviously don't enjoy much compared to the next and, thus, tend to avoid games on them. So, IMO, asking us to rank all the maps and then finding an average ranking is entirely random.

On the other hand, determining how often a map gets used is pretty spot on. Once again, it is driven by the market. If someone starts a game on a map I don't like, I don't join the game. Others will likely do the same. Yes, eventually, that person will get takers. Meanwhile, however, maybe a dozen or more have been filled on maps that people tend to enjoy more. Thus, the people speak through their actions, not through some arbitrary ranking where they decide which between two choices that they never make anyway, to they prefer.

Does this count as spam because I don't agree, not only with your rankings but also you manner in determining the favorite map?

Wouldn't it though? Map A 30 people try once and never again and Map B 30 people try it and play it again 20 times.

Map A has 30 hits and B has 600.

Seems like you can infer all kinds of opinion from a hard stat like that.

all a bit pointless - classic always wins.

Though i think the fairest is british isles

You didn't answer my question. Is what I posted "spam" just because I agreed with martigan that simply seeing the most played maps is a good choice?

You certainly implied as much.
