+#Lines starting with # are ignored.
+Lines not inside map blocks are also ignored
+Duplicated entries use the latter one.
+All whitespace at the start and end of lines is ignored. (including indentation, thats just for show)

+	voteweight [number] (How much to count each player vote as, defaults to 1, setting to 0.5 counts each vote as half a vote, 2 as double, etc, Setting to 0 disables the map but allows players to still pick it)
