DING 200 points!

[geekbot]

Basing time races are great because they got rid of hiding, 14:59 games are great, the comebacks, and everything.

But every once in a while I hear the flag ding and I want to play a timed game- counting seconds and diving to the flag for the next ding in FR, racking up the 200 points in cram, milking a terrier in the corner for all it's worth...all that good stuff.

Let's mix it up in go base!

Yeah, I've seen a couple of staffers fire up a point race every once in a long while. Too long. Definitely a welcome change of pace when they do get going though. I agree, throwing them in a little more often would be nice.

Like randomize the gametypes in ?go base?

[Fit of Rage]

Out of 6 games in ?go base:

4 timed race
1 timed (20 minute game)
1 point race

In any order.

I've been around while all of these types of base games around. I think that the timed 30 minute games just drag on and on. Even the 20 minute ?go base versions are no better.

In terms of best to worst, I'd rank them:

Time Race
Point Race
Oldschool timed games

I really would never be able to go back to the old timed games.

i agree with stab, maybe 1 point race game every few days...but deff not every day....too long and boring...and the way the caps are being chosen today wont make it any better
