So in general the map should die even though the vocal minorities on the support side outnumber the vocal minorities on the kill side 2 to 1?
Yep

Think of how many people agree with Andy and Keyogi but do not voice their opinion because they see that the mods already gave the thumbs down. I am one of them.

Then, 3 or 5 people show up saying that it has no appeal and want its development to stop. Andy and Keyogi also both personally don't like the map very much.
Who wins? Do Andy and Keyogi with minimal support carry enough weight that the map is denied to the group that wants to play it? Or is 15 foundry members enough to keep the map around at least until it is built to a finished state?

I never called for development of small world to stop. I simply implied that it was a steaming pile of crap.

then i guess you love my Age of Merchants map
on a more serious note we have a dilema here.
lets say somebody make a map with horible gameplay and sucky graphics. yet he somehow gets many people that suport the map. will the mapget quenched? do all maps need to have great gameplay? maybe some people want idiotic gameplay like plasagna.
i realy don't know what to say. not quenching such a map despite it's many supporters is dictatorship.
quenching it means the whole foundry process gets flushed down the toilet drain.

As you can see that is not happening and to be honest Eastern Front is kilometres ahead of World 0.5 or whatever it's called...too much time has been spent on a project which will never see the light of day.

Obviously if there is a technical reason not to release it, like in the case of Eastern Front then it shouldn't be released. Eastern Front wasn't released because people didn't like it, it wasn't released because there were legitimate graphical errors.

If it has majority approval, though, how do we know it's bad?

here is a map. bad gfx and bad gameplay. and yet somehow i'm sure this map would be perfect for a buildup game. i'm certain i could convince at least 40-50 or more people to vote for such a map.
would it get quenched?
