Please stop capping idiots in ?go base.

[LoGGi!]

yeah! 10-0 games are so fun! not, when lots of more expirienced basers played alot the games was mostly 10-8 or something close, and you could actually brake 100 kills in a race to 10 mins, that rarely happens anymore

You're changing it from "capping vets" to "letting vets play". I think everyone has an equal right to PLAY, but the CAPTAINS should be chosen wisely. Make sense?

[schope]

damnit i guess i just forgot when was the last time i had to sit on spec and wait for a whole round.

am i a vet?

If we could stop capping morons in wbduel that would be swell aswell!

[Kolar]

Basing requires a little more interaction and work in the basing community before you can become accepted, normally after this you can get into most games.
Recent ?go Base games I've seen have been populated by newer players and even Cap has been given out to newer names. Maybe this is because of TWL and TWD squads trying to stay on top but a lot of the "basing vets" don't bother with ?go base anymore.

That rhymed a bit :fear:

[Aquatiq]

Meh.. totally random non-basers will get picked just because of their squad. -_-

Example: Rich

[glacier]

TaMa blows all 10 ship changes on himself every game and ck takes 5 minutes to add somebody.

as whiny as this thread may be, I'm going to have to vouch for this one. tama will jav himself, get a teamfer, change himself to wb until his team gets back in base, then get back in jav. ruins a lot of games.

So finally when I got on A-S and I knew the general idea of capping

agreed, anyone with a keyboard can cap but it takes experience to be a good cap

a lot of the "basing vets" don't bother with ?go base anymore.

yeah, and this is why :/ I sit in a private arena waiting for #mythrandir to be brought back.

maisoul - the vet

[Suh]

Did noone see what I said?

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

that wont help, people are capable of ruining a game regardless of how many games they have played.

[TopGod]

I know! Lets get rid of ?go base and the basing bots all together. Then lets making "basing chats" filled with "basers". Then lets go to random private arenas and keep the games going 24/7 because good people always want to play with good people. As for hosting? Half of staff are already basers! They can do it for *fun*, not for "hosting points".

You know whats the sad part? No one in this thread has any idea what I'm talking about. Your loss.

[Hakaku]

I have to agree with the title of this thread, stop capping noobies/ppl who you've never heard of before.

I'm tired of seeing base always dead, and when it's not, in the next round following a good one, the staff cap some random people (either ppl who don't know commands or afkers).

My suggestion is to create a page on the site displaying all of the bot commands for base and have an arena message on entry telling them to go there. Some people barely know how to use !help, it's quite sad.

I was wondering why .?go base was so dead all the time.

How about we give certain players that care so much about this the ability to start a game, that was done before I believe.

Some players have bot powers.
