The problem isn't that they're picking the first map. That's just a manifestation of the problem. The root issue is that they don't care and just want to get the vote out of their face. The quickest way for them to do that is to hit whichever button.

If we got rid of "1", they'd just hit a different button. There's nothing special about "1" other than it's easy to choose. You get rid of "1", and maybe "2" becomes the easy to choose option that everyone chooses.

I do realize, now, that it is possible, but based on my argument above, I'm not going to add it.

It is, however, specifically why I implemented the random display option. We can't stop them from choosing the easiest way to get rid of a vote, but we can make it so the earlier alphabetical maps won't be played as often.
