What area of New Blood are you suggesting this for?

Zombie Survival

What is your suggestion and how will it work?

Players will be able to use a command called /favorite [map]. The map will then show on /whois that [map] is their favorite. The amount of favorites a map has can be shown in /mi [map]

There could also be a way to implement a "preferred map" option. Perhaps favorited maps can have a higher chance of appearing on the map voting time.

What are the advantages of your suggestion?

It can be used to show what maps people like, and their play-style. Maps that have more favorites are also obviously more popular.

What are the disadvantages of your suggestion?

Maybe some coding required.

I would imagine that it shouldn't be all too difficult to implement. inb4 90% of the players picks nothing as their favorite map

I like this idea!! How about a small bb reward if someone chooses your map as their favourite? For example if I choose 6course as my favourite map then Toby would get 2 bloodbags or something? You could cap the amount of times /favourite is used in a day or in a week to stop people abusing it

I like this idea, but my only concern is that if favorited maps get played more often then it's gonna get a little annoying imo, plus it would decrease chances of new maps (in trial for example) being picked and played in. Other than that, I like this and I think it would be very cool to see some statistics in game such as the ammount of favorited votes per map or a top for most favorited maps.

I kind of agree with gdssdg on this. It would likely lead to maps never being played.

Perhaps only one of the suggested maps is a map that is picked from the online players' favourites? It would be possible but probably take some time to implement and still risk other maps not being played

On the other hand, including a favourite map in someone's /i sounds reasonable, and could be analogous to your anthem on Tinder.

After considering this, we will semi-approve this.

Adding a /favourite command will be useful to map makers by helping them find which maps are most enjoyed.

As for the "preferred map" voting change, this will most likely cause a number of issues. Most notably causing issues with trials and maps of a lower rating to rarely appear.
