Forty eight people in the main on Saturday ??

Maps are in a set rotation, Hitachi don't have time to sit around
To sit around and change maps to which ever one you'll want.

I'm not sure who Hitachi is, but I think pretty much everyone else grasped that the map voting would be handled programatically.

A dot command .votemap is processed and stored on the server in a playerId/vote pair structure (to enforce one player-one vote).  At map rotation the votes are tallied and the appropriate map selected and the votes cleared out for the next rotation.

No-one was suggesting this Hitachi guy write down the votes on a notepad in real-time.

For example this is me logging in Friday early noon. Son still in school, wife at work, so a good time for some gaming. But:

Well that is the end of it then. Tremendously sad.

[Estes]

Yeah, almost every multi-player game has map voting of some sort. I always thought it was strange that AH didn't. But having said that, Mindanao or however it was spelled was my favorite map. So what do I know  lol.

You may not be, but the Mrs usually are:

“The Hitachi Magic Wand was Originally made by Hitachi in 1968.

Intended to be used as a body massager, it didn’t take long until overworked women figured out it wasn’t only good for their sore backs! It has since acquired a following for being an amazing, bone-rattling….”

Ill tell you whats sad. The way people play in the MA during the EST AM. literally flew around for an hour chasing kamurogi and Cheetah in and out of CV ack. You would think with 10-3 odds in your favor you'd be alittle more aggressive. These guys may as well fly offline where the drones won't hurt them.

What a cesspool

They might if it counted towards their score!

My favorite part about the score vermin is they rarely have a good score or ranking. People still don't understand that running and trying to save your precious cartoon ego actively hurts your fighter score.

I don't really think it's about score per say, it's more about not dieing. People don't want to die, especially flying 5 minutes to get alt. When you get jumped by 3 or 4 guys at one time, you decide to fly planes that can escape faster to not get jumped. Unfortunately, a lot of good players chose these planes in order to make it easier to escape. The rest of them don't even know ACM enough to be able to reverse a plane on their 6. Muchless 3. Many dont want to challenge themselves.  ACM is like a Jedi art form. You have to really want to learn it. They simply just don't get enough kills per sortie for them to have a good rank because they aren't aggressive enough.

"BINGO!"

This is so.  But people fly here for different reasons.  Some really like to be part of a team effort.  Some enjoy the goal of winning the war.  We can use them all.

Then you have the losers who run, refuse to commit and hide in Ack WHILE having a 3-4 man advantage.

I actually tried to get a plane to run into me last night. I did not maneuver to get position, I simply let him zoom in over and over tried to get him to crash into me. Was fun. He finally shot me down though. LOL I think he was excited about that.
