Spy vs spy is in my opinion not the greatest of maps, however a map that I do enjoy and would prefer to be kept in the map pool. Most people have covered most of the points so I'll keep this short. (+ I'm on phone)
To put it simply this vote and poll is very biased. Before I touch on that I will first comment on the ct winrate. I simply agree that yes, this map should be very ct favoured and very hard to rebell on. However this map seemingly above all others I find that t's seems to win a large amount. Perhaps this is just the luck of personal experience and my experience doesn't follow the general trend, yet from my own viewpoint t's, with myself included seem to have no issue rebelling on this map. In fact this map is where I seem to do the easiest rebelling as a t.
As for what I said about this poll being biased, this can be easily explained. I think you guys need to take a step back and realise who plays on the steam gamers JB server. A very large amount of the player base seems to be very inactive on the forums or not be on the forums at all. A certain portion of this is newish players to either our servers or JB overall. As a map spy vs spy is one of the easiest maps to understand the entire of. This doesn't necessarily make it a bad map or a particularly good map, however it makes in very noob friendly. This is why the map gets played. There is no denying its positive popularity not any way to deny the negative polularity. Newbie's ( I suppose you could suggest like myself) enjoy playing a map they know very well and therefor vote for it.
To explain the bias of this poll, with many of these players that actually make up the voters of this map not actually being active on the forums this poll is unfair. Although I personally believe this map should stay, I'm not necessarily saying it would bother me if it went, I just think a new perspective from the point of our general gamer who stumbles onto our server. As a community we want to grow and continue growing inviting new players as old one begin to have other commitments. This map in my opinion bridges the new players towards an easier understanding of JB making them stay. After one play on this map they vote for it every time.
This poll will consist mostly (not all) of more experienced players that prefer to delve within the larger more complex maps. However you have to consider who else plays on the servers before you remove a map from a vote that consists of people who (if following the general trend) will be more likely to want this map removed.
I personally believe this map should stay and think that people are not giving respect to the opinions of the general community that doesn't come in the forums. However seeing it go would not bother me and the argument for it going is also a strong one. Perhaps the views of the long term members should be taken much over the newer members that enjoy this map, perhaps not.
(Just as a side note, almost all of the death game rooms (except dodgeball and perhaps some others) are just as useful as a disco. Where in disco it is simply a room with music in these death games people can be told to go to the rooms without actually being told to do the death game itself. With some
Of these death games such as 'death crate' having a secret and a vent. I believe these rooms are just as useful as disco and should not just be disregarded as only being used as a death game.)
Thank you for reading.
