Vote or time warning to "normal/splitted" start!

Need a vote OR a warning, ring the player and a message (like in old time when you were not read in game)and some time (5 or 10segs) before game start, so if it going to be splitted cause someone did NINJA start i do not get forced to play splitted game that i do not want to play.

Forcestart you see the vote so if you do not want to play a big game you can spec, need to give plp that to not want to play small game the same time to choice.

Another option is a config(off by default) so if i am in a big room full of plp and some ninja start i get auto spected before game start, so i do not get forced to play the splitted game. For now i will just resing in begin every time that happen, do not like played small games...

What about remove auto split and have a new kind of start "!votesplitstart" which does the current instant split then start behaviour if it passes.

If you don't want to play a game smaller than a 6v6 then you probably just shouldn't be playing. :/ Games these size are just bad for the playstyle they encourage, the metagame, the community, 2000 players playing 1250 players, the game, everything.

There is some time to click spectate, but you must watch when it gets splited, I always somehow manage to spec in time. Most often high elo player split is quited, but lower elo split is played.

I personally think this spliting is really good idea +1 whoever did it, because everybody joins bigest game anyway, but probably happens a bit too soon, for example 5x5 or 6x6 = small game on very big map and thats why people resign and so on, starting with 7x7 should be okay I think.

Personally my favorite is 8x8-10x10 bigger gets too lagy, but still fun. On small games too much depends on you and you must play seriously and typical, cant try new tactics, some unit rush or so. I simply dont want to screw mine team if I would do so, because those few first minutes really matters in smaller games so I try avoid small games.


Another thing to try is to name rooms big room, small room and limit player count like in BA rooms, but this probably will result in specing, but then everybody gets what they want.

"There is some time to click spectate, but you must watch when it gets splited, I always somehow manage to spec in time."
So it must be 1 seg or less, could that time be increased to 7 segs? For me, that would be the best of all solution posted, just want to know if it will be splitted or not and time to react.

"add a new !votestartlarge:
- will autobalance, so no !balance spam
- will act as a warning for people who prefer small games... they can spec during vote"
Good too. There could be a server side config option to allow or not splitt too, like the command that unlock/lock(so him must manually unlock with "technologies points") all tech to every player.

Agree, i do not like the old BA rooms systems, lots of play do not know what to do to play if the room is full and all another empty.

tl;dr just need to increased to 7 segs before game start.

That what i asked at the beginning of topic.
