TOPIC: [TTT] Remove unpopular maps

EDIT: Accidentally posted it in the wrong section, Can it be moved to Server Issues/Suggestions, please?
Server Name:
Zarp TTT

Suggestion Title:
Remove unpopular maps

How would it benefit the server:
Map votes are filled with maps nobody likes, why not remove them and make it easier to play maps everyone likes (People could vote for maps they like with nominate, but this rarely happens)

Potential Issues/Exploits:
We could be removing maps people want to keep

Additional notes:
Here are the maps from the nominate list I want to remove (You don't need to look at this): http://imgur.com/a/NtCDN
Here's a list of the maps I want to remove:

• ttt_abyss
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=en&id=377599924
  Doesn't seem like anybody ever liked this map, has been months since it was last played
• ttt_anxiety
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=183682403
  I don't remember seeing this map, or even playing on it.
• ttt_bunker
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133847491
  Was added recently, but was only played a few times when it was just added.
• ttt_canyon_a4
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=224282233
  Has been on the server for a long time, but doesn't ever get played... Also way too easy for the traitors to hide and snipe, as the map is so large and so dark.
• ttt_comancher_petite
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=260830368
  I objected in the meeting for this map to be readded, but it was readded anyways. If I have to repeat myself here: There are launchers that throw people across the map and people kept dying by them, that's why it was removed.
• ttt_diamondshoals_a2
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=284614448
  The last time I remember playing on this map is when Mogadonskoda was still here. That says enough.
• ttt_enclave_b1
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=195796452
  I played on this map about a week ago, but it's just a poorly designed map. I don't like it and most people don't either.
• ttt_erebus_r2
  garrysmods.org/download/8269/ttt-erebus-r2zip
  (Map can't be found on steam)
  People haven't played on the map for ages, no point in keeping it.
• ttt_icarus_b2
  steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=449307394
  Same story, unpopular, rarely gets played
• ttt_island_2013
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=183797802
  Another one of the 'new' maps. I only remember playing on it once.
• ttt_office_b1
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=186844385
  Older map, rarely gets played, unpopular, etc.
• ttt_shattered_island
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=194401914
  Another one of the 'new' maps. This map also only has been played like twice, plus the bridges across the islands aren't solid, which throws you off the map. A troll could also push the bridges away, making it hard to get around the islands.
• ttt_sola_night
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=347363445
  This map has been here as long as I've been staff, but it's also been put in the dustbin. Haven't played on it since somewhere in the spring.
• ttt_terminus_v1
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=371886156
  Map has also been here for months, but hasn't taken off.
• ttt_metropolis_v2a
  steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=365417294
  There's nothing wrong with this map, but nobody seems to really like it. I would actually want to keep it if more people played on it.

If anyone has a suggestion with any extra map to remove/add, please leave a reply. This sure took me a while to do (about 30 minutes) so feedback is appreciated.

Then we have the people that complain about the overplayed maps.
You're never going to satisfy the majority or make a consensus.

Most of these maps are enjoyable so I see no reason to remove them unless the map is so buggy and cannot be played gracefully.

I get your point, but the problem is, if the maps aren't played at all, people can complain all they want about the overplayed maps, but if the unpopular maps are never played, what's the point of keeping them? In a shoutvote, these maps never win. In a shoutvote, the popular maps are chosen. Why should the shoutvote be filled with maps nobody likes. Fill the shoutvote up with maps people like, and you'll make everyone happy.

Some of these are pretty popular though: ttt_island_2013, ttt_metropolis_v2a, ttt_shattered_island. We should replace the rest with generally liked TTT maps. I'll try to make a list for next week's meeting.

ttt_abyss
ttt_bunker
ttt_canyon_a4
ttt_island_2013
ttt_icarus_b2
ttt_shattered_island
ttt_sola_night
ttt_terminus_v1
ttt_metropolis_v2a

The other maps aren't mentioned because they may include "poor design" or I haven't played on yet but agree such as Enclave.

Just don't vote for the map you don't want to play..... some people might like the map. The maps being there cause no harm to the server.

Get rid of 'em all!
