PETITION TO SAVE ELIM FROM JESSUP

[beam]

Seems like you're trying to change the goal. The goal is to stop Jessup breaking the rules. A ban is the easiest way. All this talk of changing how the game works is a distraction.

Yes I am changing the conversation in a direction that is productive since Jessup will obviously not be banned and it's a waste of time to call for that.

I think you are missing the point here. The goal isn't to figure out a way to punish Jessup and make it so he can never win another elim match. The only thing that needs to be solved is that every time he plays the game it is extended by an unreasonable amount of time.

That crossed my mind earlier, but if you have more lives left then running is a decent strat at the end of the game.

Yes !! Jessup can continue to smack Ag$ in elim

[Exalt]

It was a tough choice, but Yes won out in the end.

[Lizzo]

Wow a lot of people complaining about no being able to kill some one. Even I've killed jessup before

Another potential easy solution is to just make the map smaller. Overall you will speed up games and force more interaction. The days of having a population to support that map regularly are gone.

Im not a wb though so I imagine it'd have metashifting effects as well.

I have no issues with Jessup as a person but the play style is so insanely annoying it has given me gray hairs. There is no comparison to anyone else I have ever seen in this zone.

You could make the area shrink once two people are left and progressively get smaller and smaller as time goes on.

+1 death if they don't get a kill in X minutes (similar to the 'outside of base' timer); reset timer if they kill/die.

To punish runners/hiders, a low-effort bot feature (given that BIET is literally the only coder) could be:

+1 death if they don't get a kill in X minutes (similar to the 'outside of base' timer); reset timer if they kill/die.

The suggestion is to promote activity... but not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the downpour of responses though.

Over the past few days I've played in many games with Jessup in it and she was not the remaining 2 players standing a majority of the time.

People have been hunting Jessup to make sure of it, but shouldn't have to as it makes every round about dealing with Jessup, hence this petition.

Battle royale as a game mode exists, it's Most Dangerous Game. It's a bot module any host can set up.

Modifying Robo Ref code is a pain as biet has informed me about in the past. Changing the game format by including warps and doors might break something else in the code.

Over the past few days I've played in many games with Jessup in it and she was not the remaining 2 players standing a majority of the time. I get annoyed by strays too but it's something we all deal with. Yea it's annoying when you're 1v1 against Jessup and she has 6 more lives than you, but maybe it's more a product of not going for players with low deaths throughout the game.

I'll have a chat with biet and see if adding arena messages about the player with lowest deaths periodically is feasible.

That's because I've been in most of those games hunting her as she runs around the ENTIRE map. You're welcome.

Zone ops does nothing and will still be baffled when TW reaches EG levels
