Alright, cool. Another question: I know on some of the servers, you have to change the map after a certain number of rounds or time, and most of the time, I think, you can't stay on the same map (I know you can for some servers, but not for all). So my question is, if everybody on the server wants to play, say... Murder for twelve hours straight, can they just keep voting to play Murder, or will they have to change the gamemode eventually?
I only ask because people new to the community could come onto the server, not knowing that it's a multi-gamemode server (even if you put multi-gamemode in the server name, random people browsing GMod servers never actually read the server names), and suddenly they're forced to play a different gamemode with no option of continuing to play the one their on could cause a bunch of people to leave and never come back.
And, yes, I realize that allowing the server to run the same gamemode indefinitely might make anyone who wants to play one of the other gamemodes a bit unhappy, but all that needs to happen is a majority vote to change the gamemode.
Wow, I typed the word gamemode so many times just now. I need to take a break from typing it for awhile. I hope this actually makes sense, because it did in my head, but now that I wrote it down... well, ideas don't always transfer well from my mind to written word.
