Multiple event hosting

Edit: taking it to private forum :/

[Chao.]

bullshit, this is totaly against rare events, cause when some1 hosts xtrench and someone else interreups with a twtown AD the game is dead, why would some1 host it in the first place?
look, if everyone only does what he is interested in his favourite thing will get boring (in everyones case). that is why egoism does not work. you have to force people to stay in xtrench (do things not everyone want as their 1st goal) before you host twtown to get the most joy or success for everyone. and this idea is not something i made up. people working together are more successful than people working against each other if you look at their total.

also with your egoistic point of view you cant understand that a runed event not only maked the staffer want to ruin the event of the staffer who stole his people, it also pisses of people. guess thats why we have this thread, no?

yes, it has been like this for ages, good point... maybe that worked when there were 600 pleople playing but nowerdays you have to be lucky to get 18 into an event at times. and a lot of pleople only play TW because of its events. and id rather not play 7v17 boki.

Basing events tend to fail on their own, when one team is dominated the teams go lopsided rather fast. Most hosts don't even advert over each other at this point, I take full responsibility for doing it the past few days because it was mainly Left_Eye and I hosting, and neither one of us cared.

I'm not complaing about the lack of hosting mort hosting is good! my complaint was that some events need alot of people to be good, to enjoy playing them from my point of view . I wish i could remeber the two games that were hosted i think it was like ?go zombies and ?go warzone at the same time.....I think it was just that day or was me its all good at the moment

Man you people are morons, you are complaining because two people are hosting at the same time? Choose the event you want to play more and play it, if somebodies event gets ruined, then you can be sure he/she will decide to steal those players back one way or another, not only is this a way to increase hosting competitiveness but it is also a way to ensure that rare events, and new events are hosted/created. Before you complain about something perhaps you should think about the repurcussions the change would have on the whole instead of just "Now I can't play an event I like because im playing in an event I like just a little better". And Barton, it isn't just the event that makes people come to an event, the staffer has alot to do with it. Trenchwars is unfortunately entering the era of Newbishness, and the era of Vetness will be gone soon, I have seen this happen on another game also, The game has been around for a very long time, most of the vets who understand the games concept are gone, and newbies who have been playing for a year or two and think they understand the games concept completely toss around opinions based on their limited knowledge of the complicated details entailing running TW. Now usually these people would be rebuffed by older players telling them how moronic they are, but especially during the twld off-season when almost no real vets care about this game or zone their ideas seem somewhat better because there aren't 30 people with names that demand respect telling you how horrible of an idea it is. Just ignore these morons.

i was gonna say what kim said

[Reaver]

People were only recently complaining that there wasn't enough hosting going on. Now there are complaints that too much hosting is going on (at the same time). People will complain no matter what, but Im glad that they're complaining about too much hosting rather than too little. I know in the perfect situation all the staffers that want to host would wait in line, but when people want to host something, and they have to go soon, well then they need to host it now.

I see the competition in getting points on the tw.org stats bragging rights, but I don't see any competition for quality. *shrugs*

That's because there IS no competition for quality

sorry, but when i am online there are NEVER 3 people in line waiting to host something. IF i am lucky there is one event every one, two hours and chances are good i play ?go base where i shouldnt just leave.

make it in a way the host can choose if he wants his ad as soon as possible or timed with base and tourney and therefore more fun and with more people.

however, thats not gona happen. but you could at least ask if someone is hosting something atm, and wait till its finished.

if for example some basing style map is hosted and another AD flashes up the losing team leaves. i dont see the positive side of that.

[Barton]

To Moot: it is not the best host that gets most ppl, it is the event...

To Fluffz: do u know how long we have to wait to get an ad if a host is allrdy hosting??? it takes ages & u want to add more time??

To Aquatiq: 10mins more??? we have to wait long enough, if someone is 3rd in line to host an event he needs to wait +/- 40-55mins & u want to add there more time to it?

"What's good about the ERs trying to cram in as many hosts as they can? Is 2 games of 20 people each really more desirable than 1 game with 40 people?"

It is called competition, competition = many hosts

[Pressure Drop]

No offense, but no one besides the smods really have any reason to care who the best hosts are. If people find it inconvenient that they are missing some of their favorite events because they happen simultaneously, what's so difficult about waiting 10 more minutes to advert? What's good about the ERs trying to cram in as many hosts as they can? Is 2 games of 20 people each really more desirable than 1 game with 40 people?

Agreed

it would benifit both events to start the second event immediately after the first one finishes. When i've seen this happen there is a big migration off players from the first event instead of dividing them between the first and second.

You don't see this as a way to increase the competitiveness of hosts? The best host will draw the better crowd right?

nope i don't see it like that , i see it as pontentialy ruining the first event and getting a weak run at the second. I also don't think that hosts should be competeing against each other for macho hosty points but working together in a TW utopia






anyways i'm not staff but i'm pretty sure you guys have a chat, is it that hard to go ; is anyone curently hosting anything i'm about to host chocobo !!

[Twerp]

the advertbot should also wait with the ad until base, and tourney is over and not allow it to be started until the event is over

?

Base and tourny are automatically hosted. If you miss it the first game to go play an event, there almost always is a game right after base/tourny is over. So you can basically play tourny or base whenever.

[Kim]

Sorry its been like this since forever. Chances that both events are your favorite events of all time, everytime, is pretty slim. Also if the event was great, there is also the chance that it will be re-hosted later. Then instead of going to say TWCity, you can go into your favorite game of glider despite them being hosted at the same time. You also have to think about the players who don't like, say Zombie events, if there is more than 1 hosted at the same time, this allows choice, not restriction.

[Fluffz]

true
