On the topic of weird kick votes, I would just generally like to compare our approach to votes.
Kick votes: If I don't know why the guy is being voted, I usually take the time to check the scoreboard. If he has an unusually high negative in team score, he mostly gets the PgUp. If it looks like someone is just trying to take out a personal tiff, I either abstain or press PgDn. Some time ago, right after the banning of the Salt Shakers, some Asault guy was perpetually kickvoted until he left by himself - even though I am not fond of them, I think that is not the way to go. (Note: I did not vote for him to be kicked :) )
Mutiny votes: Also depends. If the commander is not blatantly screwing up or it just looks as if someone wants to be commander rather than the other guy, I abstain or vote no. I did vote yes and even start a mutiny vote once when the commander was a kid of 13 or so, who was on way past his bedtime and annoying everyone with nonsense talk and a very heavy boerewors accent (no offense :rolleyes: ).
Map votes: are the biggest bullsh1t ever in this game. Why not take the UT approach - end of round, map list comes up, everyone picks his fav map, simple majority wins. Instead, you get to choose of you want to play a map someone else picked for you or not, and if you don't know the map rotation by heart (which is difficult with SGS because they keep changing it), you can basically pick between Plague and Cholera. I usually ignore map votes, especially on the Urban Server.
How 'bout you?
