Ofcourse not

Entropy-Soldier:
The problem is that you're balancing the voting around someone who will take the time to learn and utilize the system...which is more or less counter intuitive to your stated goal.  Heck, most people don't even vote with the sourcemod voting applet, and that thing comes up on its own and is very direct.  With that in mind it's easy to see that if 2/3rds of the server population need to opt for a vote, you can bet this feature would almost never be seen.


And if you start a vote that offers to give one player a distinct advantage over everyone else, you can bet everyone but him will say no.

WNxEuphonic:
I think bots will help a lot -- it means that even if all the servers are empty you can still play while waiting for real players to show up. Bots also have the potential of creating off-line practice, training courses/matches, and even rudimentary single-player.

Now about voting, I'm not so sure. I would like to see a lot more GE:S separating itself from Valve's system. I know it's close to impossible to do, but maybe allowing people to change settings without the console would help lan parties. Really capture the fun of sitting down with your friends, choosing some fun settings and going at it.

Also, maybe a dedicated Dev to advertising. Valve may not be able to help out, but gaming magazines, gaming websites and forums usually love showing some free publicity to the GE:S cause.

I don't bother voting, I'm too busy playing, I let other players do that.

If only GE:S could be a stand alone game like Combat Arms, that would be awesome. As for menu's, I would like to see the option of selecting game type and weapons etc, without having to type words into a box, a nice pull down menu perhaps.
