possible uses for monster madness credits

since they are not used that much any more, i suggest maybe that if a certain admin is on during the day/night on the server, that players can ask for a specific super weapon on map or forced game type with mm credits as payment.
i suggest this because it can add a new interctivity to the server of those who frequently contribute somethig in some way, us regulars, here on the forum.
what i want is to use my credits to get some carball matches in between some of the freaking overplayed maps and expose others to it perhaps. it is hardly ever winning in the vote since so many haters get others on to their anti carball bandwagon so once again Complex or Bunker be played for the 5th time in a day.
100 monster madnes credits for forced CB map!
also, some may decide to make it an auction, highest credits used wins the choice of whatever for next map.
what do you think?

good luck with that. what would happen to a server full of people that didn't vote a carball map, when a carball map is forced? drae would be playing with himself.

He isn't playing with himself anyway?

Meh, I don't see the need for forced B maps when we have a loyal fan club d=P
Either we start the birthday / weekend parties again or we just forget about them.

Ok. But there's a slight little flaw in the "DON'T PLAY CB ON OUR SERVER" whiners.
It's Joey's server. Not yours. If Joey didn't want players to play CB (Or Invasion, CTF, TAM or any game mode for that matter) then he would remove the game off the server. Simple.

Mad, the mine is a provocation, in the sense, i always hear complaints about the fact that you're not playing never CB, but the maps are rated in a democratic way then by the majority,i added only an alternative for those who feel excluded.
Simple

iio, democratic or not, people tend to influence others and force them. and what about times when a map or game type is voted for like 6 votes immediately, but after 3 seconds another map is voted for with 6 votes, and timer ends..and the latter map wins, even if the first map got the majority vote first? i hate that.
and i am displeased of the same maps again and again and again. trainindayx2 one map, then two maps later it is trainingday...ok, wtf? or the situation i saw the one day while speccing..the one dust map was lost and people voted for the other dust map to "try again" and it won the vote. censored crap is what it is for almost the same exact thing twice in a row.
ANYWAYS
the point of this topic suggestion was a way for those who are regular, active people in this game server community to have a bit more influence than those who just joined and never even once saw this forum, yet they will vote blindly just to play something when some of us are trying for something else. this post wasn't intended for carball stuff solely, it encompasses all other game types and maybe a super weapon to be added now and again all through applying these credits we get. maybe not so much wands and aks, but even just howitzers, mini rls, etc just to let everyone mess around one map with weapon that is not often used and giving a purpose to the mm credits.

really? i thought it was random if the votes were tied.

i don't think so..it might be, buuuut...almost every map that gets enough votes to tie with the high voting map seems to always win when countdown ends. strange thing, though, is if player number is even and last vote to tie two maps happens, then the first to reach that number seems to win. or maybe it is random but for the heck of it, these two situations almost always play out like this @,,@
p.s. get me some pot, my mood's been sucking a lot lately v..v

Erm. The post I'm assuming you are referring to asks all the CB players to just find a CB server instead of voting for it on Joeys...
And I'm not playing because my computer's no longer able to run UT2004 without overheating in a matter of seconds.
