!poll gameover command

[newtown19]

I think there should be a cool-down period between each poll, 5, 10, 15 minutes, whatever.

Last night, the same player initiated 3 polls in 3 minutes and a 4th 11 minutes later resulting

in the game ending. (I missed that last poll and only 1 NOD voted)

It was City Flying, GDI lost Ref, NOD lost Air (because 5 were sbhs and I was the only Tech repping PP and Ref).

GDI was ahead in points from the shelling but was running out of money so he spam polled.

Nod then got a spy crate and the AGT was killed. So the 4th GDI poll came shortly thereafter ending

with a GDI win by points. If it had continued, NOD would have won by building destruction.

Or make it so that if the game ends with a poll, NO points and NO recs are awarded, after all this is Marathon.

Just curious, what was he polling?

I agree with your last comment.

I think this is a wonderful Idea as well, poll cool down of 10 minutes would work excellent. Another couple ideas for polling is to add it so the person who polls is only able to !poll once a map or add a command for moderators to disable players polling ability if abused like !mutepoll <name>. I like having vote nextmap in there but when the majority votes no and the player continues to poll till people get sick of the poll and vote yes its on the borderline of abusing the polling commands. Just a suggestion what do others think about these ideas? anyone else with some other ideas on what to do will !poll abusing?
