## About The Pull Request Approval Voting is a system in which voters can select as many maps as they want, instead of selecting only one. Final tallies show how many votes each map received, and the winner is the map with the most support. ## Changes since https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/73413 - Custom votes can now be started using either system - Icon during AV votes indicating your selections - Map population filter counts active players and participating ghosts https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/83487515/222580901-61506cc3-dc42-4435-9775-1e6291a3f734.mp4 ## Why It's Good For The Game First-past-the-post (our current voting system) has flaws such as creating a bunch of wasted votes, in that a large number of selections ultimately have no impact and for example, a map can win a 3 way race 11/10/10, even though 2/3 of the votes were not for that map. This leads to people having to vote strategically, and perhaps not what their true choice is. Approval Voting solves this by instead allowing the player to select all the maps they would like to play, so they can vote for their true preferred choice, as well as alternates. For example, a player that wants Metastation, is okay with Icebox, and doesn't want Delta may feel pressured to vote Icebox if it's in a 2 way race with Delta. AV lets them vote for Meta, and Icebox or as many others as they want as their alternates and creates a more fair outcome of a map vote. Map population filter removing AFK/lobby screen dwellers gives a better number of active players so as to not trip the map filter's population cap earlier than it should. tl;dr: Less of this  ## Changelog 🆑 LT3 rscadd: Added new multi-vote system balance: Map votes are now calculated using multi-vote instead of the old single-vote system admin: Admins can now use either multi-vote or single-vote for custom votes code: Map choice filtering uses active player count, not all connected clients /🆑
