/votepause [Rejected: Could be abused]

(1/3) > >>

Witchfynde:
It should be made that if there is no admin on and theres a long race there could be /votepause, that if enough people use that the race would get extra 50 seconds added.

[FSR]Ush:
Better report a race for not having enough time so an admin can add extra time to it.

Or, /votepause allowed for those who have started the race since the countdown
cuz if someone come in /race too late, it's his fault, we don't have to wait him.

[MAF]Rac3r:
Good suggestion to fix the problem we have, but I don't think a vote pause is the best option. Flopster also mentioned a flaw, I think this needs resolving.

Example:

DoubleYou : 11 second race, 90 second countdown till next race
LeMans-GT : 600 second race, 90 second countdown till next race

Obviously with DoubleYou there would be no need for more than 10-15 seconds countdown for the next race, but LeMans-GT is 600 seconds, so maybe more than 90 seconds is needed for the other racers to finish.

I'd rather calculate an extended auto-countdown on 1st finisher. I'll look into it.

[MAF]mooman:
i think it should be based on highscores not first finishers because of hackers. we could just average something like the 5th to 10th highscore times (leave out the first 5 cos of hackers) and then times that by 1.4+15 seconds at the start. EDIT: plus another 15 seconds in which to vote
Doubleyou: 15+(11*1.4)+15 = 45
LeMans: 15+(600*1.4)+15 = 870

and, last of all, to make sure this only applies to races in which proper records have been set, we just need to check the mysql race counter and only do it if the race has been raced like 6+ times
