Powerball Idea

[Kryn]

Allright, this is an idea i was thinking about and i would like everyones input.

Powerball in public, how could this not be a good thing.



1: It will give an extra umph to the public arena's.

2: If goals are placed inside the base somewhere it will encourage people to go into the base to score goals.

3: For the noobs, they can throw the ball to people in safe. (gotta think about the noobs, they are a large chunk of trench wars population =\ )

4: Levs that buy greens will be able to switch to a warbird or some other ship to score points with the goals. Wich will give him more points to buy greens.



Its not good because:

1: It may draw people away from the flag game. (we cab put the goals in base to stop this)

2: Noobs can kill people in safe. (well yes, but it will be verry hard for a noob to get the ball on the oposite side of the arena from the goal)

3: It may escape the crator feild HAHHAHA! (a barrier would be needed, no biggy, but i love the crators =\ )



That is all i can think of, please post both reasons why its good and reasons why its not.

?go hell

?fuck you

[Kryn]

haha

Please say why you dont want a powerball.

[Louis XV]

For the same reason why we don't have:

A) bricks
B) every ship with L3 bombs and instant recharge
C) the need to green
D) active sysops

oops, scratch that last one, snuck into this post somehow... :X

[Kryn]

A? the reson we dont have bricks is because we dont have them, dont want them, dont need them.

That was such a good point.

Basing already needs too much of a boost that we don't need another reason not to do it. This will happen if the point total for the ball is more than that of the flag. If it were any less than the flag, however, people wouldn't care about it.

Possibly the powerball could have no reward.

So what you're looking for is Powerball with TW settings, right? Well, there is something fairly close. It's called Speedball, though it has been moved over to Powerball for now. It's fun.

[Kryn]

no

nope just a powerball in the public arena, thats all

[X Machine]

Only if the goals are inside the base.

EGish

[Nockm]

but wait

The ships do look really sweet when they are holding the ball though, especially the warbird
