The following votes can only be used within a mode definition, not callvoted separately:

- gametype <1 to 8> 0 = FFA, 1 = ravenTourney, 2=TDM, 3=CTF, 4=Arena CTF, 5=CA, 6=CTFS, 7=Duel, 8=Freezetag

The following votes should only be used directly, not within a mode definition:

- random <2 to 100> Picks a number from 1 to <value>
- referee <player_id> Elects a player to have admin abilities
- restart Restarts the current game
- kick <player_id> Attempts to kick player from server
- map <mapname> Loads a new map
- mode Changes the base gametype and loads a standard set of rules
- nextmap Ends the current game and loads the next map in the cycle

Most votable vars can be disabled via the vote_allow_* cvars with appropriate names (i.e vote_allow_timelimit ) in the server config file , which provides fine control over which settings can be voted for by players.
