I believe cybersphinx's point is that there's no need to add too many options. Since people have already started voting, let's just leave "no opinion" to just not voting.

Bit political? There are two requests for at least one additional choice - so let's have "depends" added.

Who else wants an additional option?

I kind of like the current options, it forces a voter to realize what his personal preference is. Rather than letting the voter remain indecisive. But that's just my opinion.

The additional choice isn't really worth resetting the poll and losing all the people who've already voted. Plus, if the purpose of the poll is to see which one is preferred, adding an "it depends" option won't really help that goal.

Well, it appears nobody else is voting anytime soon, so I guess this poll is finished. The majority of the WZ forum community prefers low oil, with a 3:1 win ratio.

I'll keep that in mind. :ninja:

Yeah, but also many gamers in lobby like to play high oil maps as well, almost as popular as low oil maps i think.

If you take a look at lobby, almost every game is mid or high oil map.
I have almost never seen a low oil game in the lobby.

I have. For example Rush2 is a one favourite among many.

I meant the forum community when I said that. ;)

Does the lobby even matter anymore? What with the cheaters and what-not...

It does matter. That's the place where guys like Merowingg, Kuky and others have been hosting their maps and getting them tested. And I see lots of newcomers entering all the time. It's the best place to get your map tested (and even make it popular), to be honest.
What with the cheaters and what-not...
Cheaters? Really? I had just one experience with a cheater so far. Maybe it's because I'm always on the IRC playing with people whom I know are not cheaters. :hmm:

I had a good laugh out of it. And to be honest, it wasn't really that bad an experience for me. Some guy impersonated me and said "dange!" :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
