Please stop capping idiots in ?go base.

[Barton]

well that seems retarded. but after a base game fnishes and it says:
New game starting, Freq 1 vs Freq 2 or whatever....16 players get put into spectator mode. I gaurantee if only 2 ppl say cap the other 14 aren't afk. If you guys could take 1minute and PM someone, here? or maybe make them cap, see if they do anything. If not, theen give it to someone else.

not everyone is willing to spent so much time at starting a game

Maybe add a feature in the bot that records how many games a player plays... Then when a newer staff member who doesnt base trys to pick him it won't let him choose that player unless he has xgames played

Until he has reached say 20 games, he can cap.. Or go by usage

either one can solve this problem

Darn, as if there can't be anything done about that.

:P actually right now I'm playing in a game where UpYours! is a captain and all our spiders are lancs, including me :P

Edit#2... I guess I didn't have to say "our SPIDERS are LANCS" haha

Why, so staff can get back to doing nothing? it's a help call and you're supposed to do it to your fullest ability. You can either do things right or do things lazy, and i guess you are lazy, once again.

Did noone see what I said?

Have it so a player has to play x-games before he can be a captain

[End]

If you make a statistic showing how many games people have capped id cap a lot more.

[duel pasta]

sigh... why do you want only vets to be cap? how can the newbs ever learn how to cap then? doesn't everyone has the right to be captain? even if he blows a whole game wich is like what, 20 minutes?? maybe go outside for half an hour and get some air in your brains. Stupid vets always think they are THE MAN! well, imo newbs need learn.. and if you don't cap then they will never learn! start thinking 'bout others too, fucking ego!

[Emaho]

Im not sure PH, but the game you are talking about was started before there were enough ppl in the arena. Then someone made a zoner and 25 more ppl showed up. Anyway, i cap ppl who i think is can deal with it. But we were all newbies at some point, dont forget that!

Its pretty enoying tho, to get 5 private messages after started a game were ppl whine about i didnt cap them because they said 'cap' first.

[Hero*]

Emaho just go "I don't cap people who ask for it, always works, and those people will never privatemessage you again. As for duel pasta, when I firststarted base, I never got to cap. I would play spider and I would notice who is good in what ship. So finally when I got on A-S and I knew the general idea of capping, I was able to make pretty decent teams because I knew "Bram is good in spider" "I can add Sika in any ship because he's unreal" "don't ever terr schope" etc. Let them play the game first for a while, then maybe start capping them. It's all about experience. Like sometimes right now I see captains javing themselves, and going 24-59 just cause they wanted to freakin jav. Go to pub and learn how to jav first, then come back. Even in spider i see caps going 33-45. Like come on man, they hardly know how to attach. I just want the staff to put in a little research before making a cap.

Not if it ruins the game with selfishness on special shipping themselves
and as I said if it had to be at least 20 games played, they wouldn't exactly be newb when it comes their time to cap

[Denon]

How about as soon as a cap is set they get put in spider and can't change?

Would be nice but kinda unfair.

[PH]

Didn't say I only wanted vets to cap, so don't fucking put words in my mouth. I said stop capping people who don't have two brain cells to rub together. I'm pretty much the antithesis of a "vet", so I disagree with your "cap vets only" shit anyway, but at least I can cap a decent game. It's not rocket science: if you see unfamiliar faces, ask them what ship they can play and let them at least try it. This is, after all, a learning arena, and I'm sick of having my learning experience ruined by horrible caps. Don't fucking wait for Sika or Cape to come to your rescue. Give the new players a shot, and don't use the fucking game as your personal playground for trying jav shots you know nothing about. This isn't brain surgery, people, use your heads.

The no one would want to be cap :P
