I'm an MVP!

So now years later I'm living with him

I can take a hint

Good point ARF, I've thought this "same ship" system was bad since its debut.

There soon will be a MVP system in public arena's like there is at ?go base (it is based on allot of things).

Actually, the whole system of gameplay will be changing, first freq to hold the flag for 10 minutes will be the winning team. Scores of those who have won and been on the team from start of game will have their scores shown by arena messages plus 1 MVP.

I'm looking forward to see this system come in Pub hope you too!

Sump I think the time should be lowered. maybe closer to the 5-8 minute range.
Reasons:
1) baby steps, pub is where people start
2) it'll pop up more often, therefore grab more attention
3) it'll be less of a commitment, therefore hold more attention

Also I don't think the warp system is great. Warping to anywhere in fr is really random, and a team's important and often critical terr(s) can get a bad warp and die instantly. Also wb/javs can get a good warp and pop one off on a terr. You couldn't go to ears, because then people would just not warp and then camp the opposing ears.
Even if you warped everyone in fr to ears, you'd still have people sharking and mining the opposing ear. So... something that solves all this...

Warp everyone in fr, with !warp on, and/or in ship 8 to safe and then immediately into ears. The only people that's really hurting are people who are battlesharking or overmining tube and there's practically no one doing the former, and who cares about the latter, they can go to a non timed pub if they hate it.

Is this idea doable? Feedback appreciated.

Not really; Basically you are forcing all sharks to base in fr. In publics, quite a few sharks like to mine the tube.

Yeah but... this would be only at the start of a new game... so wouldn't it be nice to have tube cleared so the victor from the previous game doesn't have an advantage?
Also, if you want to focus the zone on basing, then you should be encouraging people to help during a heated fr battle rather than mine the tube for what's coming in a few minutes. Also, they don't have to fight, they could warp back out. Or they could mine the tube in a non timed pub. Quite a few levs liked to bomb the fr, but they had to go to non pure pubs. And while that's not quite the same scale, it's similar. And I can't tell you the number of times in pub I've been set to get a td only to be informed that my team has used all the mines.

Also, what I was asking is if this idea is able to be done. Can you have a bot warp everyone with !warp on or in an area or in a ship at the same time and have it go to seperate places for each freq?

I think earwarps are exciting and action packed and less luck oriented than a random flagroom warp. I think it would encourage more people to turn !warp on and really participate.

I like the random flagroom warps, but then I like leaving success in any game to be partially determined by luck. But your idea isn't bad, ear warps could work but the fighting rarely stops just because the round is over, so why do any warps? In addition to that, why warp people IN to base.. if you want to even the odds, warp both freqs to opposite safes and maybe put all the terrs in the south safe (or some random thing like that) and give them equal chance to get the base at the start of a new round.
