Map Selection: I never get certain maps

For the maps to indeed be "random", they would be labeled with a number (1-12), then a random number generator would pick a number "randomly" from 1-12 when each game is started. The map that matches that number would be played.

As any Comp Sci person will understand, random is in quotes here because nothing is truly random to a computer.
