Hello Everybody!

This suggestion is related to stunt war ( /swar ). My suggestion is to add a voting system for the minigame similar to /racevote but with some variations.

Players can vote for the next swar by inputting the command /swarvote. The command can be changed, it really doesn't matter much.

To avoid the misuse of the voting system by always voting a green stunt war every time, I have came up with an idea. The idea is that all the stunts in the voting box should belong to the same difficulty category i.e. Green, Yellow or Red. This category will be randomly generated. The minimum number of stunts in the box should be three and maximum should be five, in my opinion. The number can be changed.

Thank You!

It's a good and fair idea but I'm pretty sure people will always go for the easiest, especially those that just want to farm score&xp and an extra 1 stunt landed. A lot of people like challenging stunts (Big Ear CB, Avispa Infy DB, Infy hut, Verona CB II, V-Rock Infy...) Most of these challenging stunts are disliked by a lot of other players aswell. So implementing such an idea would make stunt wars less challenging and personally I don't think stunt wars need to be even less challenging because a lot of annoying stunts were removed lately and replaced with easier ones, so the stunt moderators are doing what is best for the minigame. It's still not fair to go all negative on this idea, I'd like to suggest that after any red stunt war that loads, a vote can take place to decide which stunt can load next, and the vote has to be between 2 stunts only. (maybe 3?). That suggestion applies to red stunts only, so whenever a red stunt loads, we can vote for a stunt after it.

I didn't bother giving this suggestion attention considering I've addressed it multiple times, but that isn't fair so I'll just go ahead and give my input once more-

A voting system did come up as an idea during the development of stuntwar, but I wanted to stay true to the original stuntwar that the idea came from in 2010; randomized, therefore helping me and many others learn how to stunt while simultaneously challenging our weaknesses and helping us progress towards building on those weaknesses (e.g. wallrides, grinds, etc).

Personally, as Bassam addressed, I'd rather just replace the stunts that *nobody* wants to try because of how difficult that they are, rather than band-aiding the system with a voting system which, in my opinion, could really make stuntwar boring if it's just the same amount of stunts being voted on continuously. Furthermore, people regularly talk about stuntwar getting boring after a couple of months of little to no new stuntwar additions, which is why I go out of my way to update & map new stunts on a regular basis. This bore may be amplified with a voting system where people are outvoted into doing Royal Casino x amount of times a day because it happens to be a biased ID in the voting system (thanks Kalcor) and a group of stunters some quick /stats boost & think palms are scary, therefore not bothering to learn precisions

As Mad has given his 2 cents, i'm denying this suggestion. We do appreciate them though so don't let this deter you from suggesting in the future!
